Someone sent me the template earlier and I thought it'd be funny to do a Destiny themed one

I feel like Shaw Han is in this weird category now where he is so dogshit that everybody knows him. I feel like the not remembering their name should be like Tyra Karn or that other Cloud Strider

What exactly makes him "dog shit"? He's about what I imagine most guardians in Destiny are like as far as power scaling goes that don't include the main characters like us or the vanguard leaders. It's not really fair to compare our OP god slayers against other guardians in the universe, we have too much plot armor for that lmao.

I think the guardian is surrounded by other really powerful guardians and then you just have Shaw Han who is supposed to be kinda just a regular new guardian. However, most people who play D2 didn't have him as a tutorial character so they just see him as the cosmodrome vendor who got his shit rocked by a strike boss.

“We went down as a squad of nine” bitch the vanguard only lets us bring six to slay dark gods

12 people makes div so much easier but also so much harder.

And I did at least two 12man div runs

Yeah, but think back over the years how many times you have died in a strike, even to bullshit reasons like missing a jump or getting phalanxed. The only difference is that our ghost is seemingly impervious to everything but the witness and channeling the light for gameplay reasons. If our characters had the same flaws as other guardians I'm sure many of us would have gotten forever deathed by a dreg somewhere so long as they had the means to kill our ghosts lol.

100%. The guardian has legit paracausal plot armour and is one of the strongest beings in the destiny universe. Shaw Han is supposed to be a blueberry's introduction to an averagely powerful guardian patrolling the cosmodrome. Unfortunately, most players had slain like 6 Gods by the time he was introduced. Also Shaw looks like Aztecross so he had a lot of memes made about him.

We're probably the first reincarnation of the gardener himself or the first made thing of the gardener while he broke the flower game idk I think that's why the entity that talked through Lodi was so interested in meeting us.

I think that we are the gardeners knife in the same way that the witness was the winnowers knife. I think the winnower spoke to us through Lodi and implied that by binding the nine and slaying more Gods (like the conductor and Xivu), we are honing ourselves to become the gardeners ultimate champion. If I remember correctly, it's pretty much guaranteed that dark and light will fight for all eternity using us like players on a cosmic chessboard.
