Tales of Destiny ~PROUST~ Forgotten Chronicle rough summary

I wasn't sure where else to post this, and Tumblr seemed like the one that would get the most use out of it.

So, I streamed my blind run through TODDC with Kio for the past several months. I ended up getting really into TOD from how much cleaner the presentation of the story and characters were over the PSX version, and was really frustrated that nobody had translated the drama CD, which had been hiding like 95% of Leon's characterization until the remake came along.

I kept a notepad of stuff to talk about during those streams. Sometimes it was off-topic things, sometimes it was little tangents about parts of the game that I thought of over the week until we'd play again. Sometimes it was summaries of supplemental material that was never localized. But most of the time, that material was translated by a fan.

Nobody has fully translated Proust. I wanted it to be translated. So I listened to it as hard as I could and summarized as best I could. The following are the unedited notes as I wrote them to be read during stream, rather than a direct translation or anything formal. I'm not good enough at Japanese to fully translate it. I'm so not good at Japanese that there's probably a lot of errors throughout this summary, too. I hope someone eventually comes along and gives us a full translation.

Also note that I'm not great at recognizing the voices of anyone that isn't the main cast of protagonists, so I probably mix up the antagonists or the generals' identities a lot.

--------------------------

So I went back through the drama cd, and I think I've got a few more little details. I could be wrong about a lot of this since there's no translation and I am really fucking bad at Japanese. But this should actually clear up a lot of misconceptions that we, or I had throughout this entire game. Foolish me for just believing everything TVTropes told me instead of trying to comb the drama cd myself.

(track 1-01 Thunder + track 1-03 Lullaby) Chris tried to escape with both children, but Hugo sent the goon squad after her?? and they managed to take Leon and mortally wound Chris. She drags herself back to the mansion to see Leon again and asks him not to hate Hugo, because this certainly isn't the same kind person she married. [I previously summarized it based on this post, which does a much better job of summarizing track 1-03: https://jeredu.tumblr.com/post/136918641610/so-after-the-horrible-sad-feels-from-the-emilio]

(track 1-02 History That Was Forgotten is just Leon saying the title of the CD)

(track 1-04 Yes, My Lady) Less than 2 years before the game starts. The girls in Leon's class aren't very good at dance lessons yet, so he complains to Marian that all the girls are stupid-- oh but not you Marian, it's only other girls that are dumb. lol I can't catch why Leon's mad at Hugo this time, but Marian sticks up for Hugo, since he's the one who pretty much discovered how useful Lens could be to further technology and make modern life easier, and has for the most part made it all affordable. She's also grateful that he hired her when she had nothing. Marian wants Leon to make friends with the girls because she's worried he'll be all alone. Leon says he's fine alone and that he'll only grow stronger, and to distract Marian, decides to teach her the dance he learned, calling her "my lady". At the end, he says he'll be fine as long as he has Marian. Hugo walks in on them and Leon quickly makes an excuse but Hugo just puts him down for hanging with the staff and tells him to get to sword practice. Leon seems excited for it. Leon whispers to Marian that they'll practice dancing again. Marian says she's looking forward to it, but when he leaves, she sadly mumbles that he's a pitiful child. (Not in a mean way)

(track 1-05 True) [Oops I didn't cover this one. It's just villainy anyway. Who listens to Proust to hear Mictlan-Hugo monologue?]

(track 1-06 Man of the Mask) I forgot about this detail and its MASSIVE importance. In the original, Leon and Hugo's relation wasn't known for a long time. In the remake, their relation is paraded around loudly. Hugo will not let anyone forget that Leon is his son, and Leon's motivation is to not be a nepo baby. But in the original, specifically in the drama CD, Hugo doesn't want their relation known. He doesn't want Leon around while he's doing business because it might reveal their relation. He reprimands him for coming home while he's doing business and tells him not to come home so often. Leon was actually excited to let him know of one of his missions' successes, on his 15th birthday no less. Chaltier tries to comfort Leon when he's basically told to gtfo, but Leon tells him he's not sad at all, and that he just wants to be acknowledged by someone as skilled as Hugo. His cadence is fairly fond as he says all this, but he's awfully insistent about it. Like thou-doth-protest-too-much insistent. Leon thinks he saw a masked man, but Chaltier says he doesn't sense anyone. They go on their way, but a filtered voice of Hugo calls Leon's name.

(track 1-07 Emilio) The following track makes it more clear that yes, he was actually very fucking upset about it. I already talked about this track since it was one of the only 2 tracks that were fully translated by someone else. Where Marian has a little private birthday party for him and he breaks down. With the added context of the previous track, the breakdown makes a bit more sense. He's just been told and brushed off again by Hugo even after so many smashing successes. Took it upon himself to put up a strong front in front of Chaltier. Then Marian does this gesture of kindness that I guess makes him feel like he's being treated like a child or mocked, and that's the last straw. Marian is of course calling him Emilio, and he refuses that name because Emilio is worthless, nobody needs Emilio, and he's all alone. He insists he's Leon Magnus, because he's at least useful as a tool for Hugo. Marian doesn't like him calling himself a tool. Says he's her precious Emilio. And Leon cries. [Previously summarized based on this post, which actually has a full translation!: https://jeredu.tumblr.com/post/136880537875/jeredu-spoilers-for-tales-of-destiny-for]

(track 1-08 Family) Next track takes place a year later and has Leon being the wunderkind beating everybody and being taken under Finley's wing. They've all got praise for him but are a little put off by him being so uptight. Late at night, Leon sneaks into Marian's room through her window because of the lecture he got about COMING HOME TOO OFTEN jfc. He's excited to tell Marian about officially working with the knights, and asks to dance with her. I think I skipped a bit. Leon only started trying to become a knight because Hugo told him to, so that he'd have a pawn within the castle to help further Oberon's goals. I think he moved out of the mansion after the last track to dedicate himself more fully to cementing his position there?? I'm probably wrong. But he's been a lot happier this way. Later that night, Chaltier tries to suggest that Leon just continues living like this and become a full fledged and honest knight instead of working for Hugo, because all of the generals seem to like him and are nice people. Buuuut Leon's already fallen asleep. Boo

(track 1-09 Nightmare) Next track has Leon and Finley talking and they think Greybaum's sus. They meet with Greybaum and Chal also thinks he's sus. That night, Leon has a nightmare where a man is telling him he can save Rutee. Except Leon doesn't know who Rutee is yet, or her name. The man is wearing a mask like the one from the mansion. It seems to be the real Hugo. He attacks Leon when he knocks his mask off I think?? and I guess Leon wakes up and is back at the mansion temporarily? I have no idea what's going on here but Hugo's not doing great and Leon rushes to his aid but Hugo basically tells him to gtfo his house again. I think real Hugo is fighting Mictlan, because Leon says something about Berserius. Belserius. Berselius. Fuck it. Scene change and Leon's at a tavern or something. The waitress fawns a bit, showing his good reputation has spread. Leon thinks about the nightmare and what the heck a Rutee is. Then he overhears some guy talking about a demonic lens hunter dude and the waitress is like oh nah you mean that girl Rutee? and Leon all but trips over himself to go aggressively interrogate the waitress. The guy she was talking to gets mad and tries to attack Leon and a fight starts. Finley shows up and slaps Leon and reprimands him and I think threatens him?? But Leon got the information he wanted out of the waitress.

(track 2-01 Masquerade) Next track. The villains talk stealing the Eye of Atamoni. A masquerade ball is held in Seinegald. Leon's all ready to be big bad security but Finley says he should blend in and dance. But he ain't got no fancy clothes! So Finley arranges to get him some fancy clothes. He's about to arrange for a partner too but Leon's like nah I got a girl for this and yoinks Marian up. She's worried she's not allowed to attend such a party, but Leon assures her she's part of the mission so it's fine. She tries to make excuses to not go but he shoots them all down. He sounds like he's having just oodles of fun on the carriage ride with her to the ball. He's laughing and smiling and it's just great. This moment is probably literally the happiest Leon will ever be in his entire life lol He… sneaks her in through the BACK DOOR and gets stopped by guards who ask who dis. And he says, "my partner" and they say they can't let randos in and he says NO SHE'S MY PARTNER and they say :/ that's not good enough bro, come on, and Marian takes his arm all suggestive like and says "What part of partner don't you understand ;)" and they let them in??? okay But Marian hasn't received her dress yet, so Leon's waiting for her to get dressed. And Chal teases him a bunch implying Leon's nervous to see her in her fancy dress. Leon tells him to shut up but Chal notes he's blushing really hard. But, Leon suddenly sees the masked man again, and this time Chal sees him too. Leon attacks but he disappears. He hears the voice and he's big mad 'cause he thinks he's being jerked around so he shouts a lot. Marian hears him shouting and rushes to him and real-Hugo goes whoops sorry about that I guess lmao and goes away. The ball gets into full swing and allll the girls are wowed by how pretty Leon's partner is. Marian says she feels awkward and Leon tells her she's beautiful, but she still doesn't think she should have come. He asks her to dance, she tries to make excuses not to, but he keeps asking, calling her "Lady" again like when they danced alone ;A; aaaa So they dance, and Leon is just so entranced and whispers that he wants to go far far away together to a place with only them, that's quiet and warm. He says something like he lost such a promised place inside of him a long time ago, but feels that it's also right there with her, and he's about to say something that MIGHT have been a confession, but they're interrupted by an attack and are separated. SO YEAH I'D SAY HIS FEELINGS FOR HER ARE PRETTY ROMANTIC. HOLY SHIT. I felt like I was listening to one of those listener-POV CDs where they do nothing but sweet-talk you, gosh. Whether his feelings are actually romantic or not, he's still just entirely fucking smitten with her. oh my god.

(track 2-02 Venomous Snake) Next track, I have no idea what's going on because I'm not familiar enough with all the villains' voices, but it's villain stuff. I think it's Greybaum mostly, and they're messing with King Isaac, the Phandaria King. And Greybaum is evil monologuing but Leon was hiding in the room and ambushes him. Hugo shows up before Leon can do any damage and something happens or is talked about, idk, villains get away. Leon's like what the fuck, dad, they tried to kill the king. Hugo says Isaac's spent too long in office and ain't doin his job right no more. So it's fiiine just let it go, besides, Graybaum's gonna be a useful tool. And the word "tool" sets Leon off 'cause it's always about tools with Hugo, and Hugo goes YEAH, A TOOL, A TOOL JUST LIKE YOU. I'VE BUILT HIM UP AND I'M TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HIM, JUST LIKE I DID TO YOUUUU. And he demands Leon apologize but Leon says no, he's done being Hugo's puppet, he's going to live for himself, he's not going to accept this shitty fate anymore, he's going to carve his own path and make a place for himself in Seinegald. And Hugo goes "Ohoho what silly thoughts Finley's put in your head. Sure, you could do all that, you could escape me no problem, you're good enough for it, but I wonder how Marian is doing~ Sure hope she's okay after getting separated from you. It's just such a scary world out there, you never know when or where such a fragile little thing like her could get got." So basically the ongoing threat on Marian's life has begun. It's not explicitly stated, but obviously the implication is that Leon could leave and take Marian with him, but Hugo will get to her one way or another. Then it's just 20 full seconds of Leon desperately calling and looking for Marian.

(track 2-03 Requiem) Next track, he finds Marian and clings to her and sobs in relief that she's okay. She says yeah it's okay I'm fine, but Leon just cries harder. Later after he's calmed down, he brings up that far away warm place he spoke about. He wonders where that could even be anymore. Probably somewhere further than the moon. He wonders if he can go there. Then it's very suddenly Finley's funeral. People are crying. The priest is praying. People are swearing vengeance. Hugo, Chaltier, and Finley's voice echo in Leon's head. Hugo coercing Leon into poisoning Finley. Chaltier asking him not to do it. Finley telling Leon they're alike in that they both lost their parents at birth. That he'd like for Leon to think of him as his father, because he thinks of Leon as his son, I think. Hugo reminding him where his place is, and that that's never going to change. Finley succumbing to the poison, in disbelief that it was Leon, and desperately asking why. Leon's sure he's never going to get to that place. Hugo and friends do some villain talk and make some snide remarks at Leon, and he just says it's fine. He's defeated at this point.

(track 2-04 Rutee) Next track has Leon on his way to Cresta to look for whoever Rutee is. Chaltier recognizes the name a little but doesn't remember. Rutee runs into him and runs away, but Chaltier recognizes Atwight on her back right away and they give chase. Rutee's giving gifts to the kids at the orphanage, is asked how she made the money for this and she's like "eehh I worked really hard :D" Chal finally remembers Rutee was the name Chris spoke of before she died and he's super excited that Leon's not all alone, that he still has his sister. But Leon just runs away. Chal's like what the fuck, where are you going, and Leon says it's been 15 years, so it doesn't matter, they're not family. Chal keeps trying to get him to go back to Rutee, insisting she must have been looking for her family for a long time, and that he should reach out to her. Leon admits that he's scared that Rutee won't accept him. Chal tells him that's stupid. Leon admits he's scared of Rutee also betraying him like Hugo did, and cries that he's truly all alone. The track ends.

(track 2-05 Flow of Fate) Next track, it's revealed Greybaum's theft of the Eye of Atamoni was actually not in the plan. He did that on his own and betrayed them. They plan for Leon to lead the investigation and gather the swordian users. Leon asks if Hugo knows who wields Atwight, and Hugo, like a fox, says mmmyessss. During Leon's first real meeting with Rutee, while she goes off on him, he's thinking to himself that he wishes he met her sooner, but he's too dirtied to face her for real by now. Chaltier insists to him that it's not too late, but Leon refuses. A bunch of scenes of Leon traveling with Stahn's group pass. Leon thinks about how Rutee has good friends and a home and family to return to, and feels even worse that he can't be happy for her. He hates himself for it, but he can't help it. Chaltier tells him he could become a part of her family. Leon says it'd be nice, since he's being shown such a warm place, but he can't escape his fate. More scenes pass, and Leon is moved by Stahn's resolve. He thinks maybe he was wrong about fate, because everyone is fighting. More scenes pass, and Leon is even moved by Batista and Greybaum, because they went against Hugo. Even if they couldn't win against their fates, they still tried. He's confused and doesn't know what to do, but Chaltier doesn't have answers for him. The only thing he knows he can do is protect Marian. The only reason he has to keep living is Marian.

It continues in the mines. Hugo and friends say they need to buy time to escape Stahn's group. He tells Leon to stall them as long as possible, and then detonate an explosive. Tells him exactly what will happen, down to the sea water flooding in. So Leon absolutely knows he's going to die if he agrees to do this. Leon asks to be alone with Marian, as his first and final request as Hugo's son. Marian observes that Leon doesn't want to go through with this. Leon says it's fine, he'll just do what he's told. He asks why Marian is here, why she's still a maid for Hugo. Marian answers it's because Hugo was trying to save the world, or whatever. She owes him a lot. So she'll do whatever she's told, too. Leon asks what'll happen if he dies. Marian says she'll probably never stop crying. Leon asks how much, for how long, because it's not possible to cry for him for her whole life. Says she'll probably cry for a bit, but eventually she'll meet someone he doesn't know, fall in love, get married, and have children, and she'll forget all about him, and then he'll truly be gone and not exist anymore. He'll disappear. Leon cries, really hard. He pulls himself together, apologizes, says she should go. She goes, but she calls after him that it was fun. That being with him was like a dream. He says quietly to himself that, yeah, it was like a dream to him, too. (The wording is different from the opening song! Important to note because the remake did a full on title drop in its climax. The opening song is 「夢であるように」, but the wording here is 「夢みたい」. But it's still probably a 100% intentional reference to the opening song.) [I cut off here because I previously summarized these two posts about the end of this track, which is an exchange with Chaltier: https://jeredu.tumblr.com/post/136997902840/i-dunno-if-its-possible-to-fall-in-love-with-a https://jeredu.tumblr.com/post/137057162215/checked-with-a-friend-who-knows-more-japanese-and]

[I yada-yada'd track 2-06 Father, Friend because I already summarized it previously based on this post: https://jeredu.tumblr.com/post/143045097730/i-finally-typed-up-a-summary-of-father-friend]

(track 2-07 -Epilogue- Yes, My Lady) In the final track, Rutee is visiting Marian. She asks Marian to live with her. Marian declines, saying she has to keep Emilio's room clean for him for when he comes back. Rutee says he's already gone, but Marian interrupts and asks Rutee to dance. She teaches her how to dance. She calls Rutee "My lady" like Leon did with her.

-----------------------------

May I just say, if Leon retained his character from the drama CD in the remake, he absolutely would have broken down crying after Stahn convinced him they could work together to save Marian. And maybe hugged him or held his outstretched hand with both of his. While crying. Drama CD Leon is a huge crybaby and I'm so here for him. I was disappointed he didn't get to cry through the remake.

And also that hot damn, Hikaru Midorikawa was allowed to emote SO MUCH MORE in the drama CD than in the entirety of the remake, not even counting all the crying he does.

Note

🃏: Assign as many characters and OCs as you can their Destiny Class and Subclass. Bonus points if you can list their favorite exotics (Weapons AND armor)

🃏:WILD CARD!

I fucking love this question.

Fair warning, I am going to yap and ramble. I've been given the okay to merge hyperfixations and I WILL be taking this seriously.

It's gonna be unnecessarily long, and I will be using Destiny Resources to accurately assign these guys their:

Classes

Sub-classes

Exotics they would use (Weapons and armor ofc)

What they chose for race (Human, Awoken, Exo)

Dress-tiny style (also known as Transmog)

Ghost Shells

Playstyle

The resources in question are Destiny Item Manager, Destiny 2 Companion app, Bray-Tech, Light.gg etc.

Also, If you want more Destiny x PJO Headcanons, PLEASE ASK. I love the game sm and I love PJO so much. I wanna YAP.

We're gonna go through the 7, Nico, Will, Reyna for Canon Characters, then for OCs, Damien, Grayson, Marcus, Sona!AJ, Sona!Zenix (@ripofwillsolace) and Sona!Ace (another friend of mine; they don't have tumblr.)

Keep in mind that in my little head, Camp Half-Blood has a destiny 2 Clan called Demigods of Light.

okay, now that that's out of the way, I wanna warn you (again) this is going to be LONG. you will get some bonus headcanons too, if I can think of some for the character; as well as some overall headcanons at the end; as a treat for reading this Monster of a post.

Percy:

I feel like he's a hunter; and I feel like, to compensate for there not being a water sub-class, he's either void, stasis(it's basically ice, that's a form of water), or arc.

As for exotics, I think he'd use Gjallarhorn simply for the fact it's goated, and it's chaotic.

For exotic armor, I see him using Wormhusk or Knucklehead radar, for their perks.

He'd be an awoken, because he thinks it's cool.

literally no other reason. Thinks they're awesome.

As for Shaders/Transmog(I call it Dresstiny hehe) he's not your typical superblack hunter. He's very BLUE. I can see him being dark blue though, or a soft, in between. Sometimes he'll go shiny, blinding

He's ether got the generalist Ghost shell on with a simple blue shader, or one of those beach themed ones. I can definitely see him using Buoy Trap for a ghost shell, because it's a little shark! I can also see him using Hyrofoil because it's a boat!!

In terms of play style, He's here to have fun and fuck around. He's a demon in PvP, He's done insane strats to survive in PvE, and He's definitely the type to avoid raids if he can help it.

BONUS HEADCANON: Percy was so excited for Season of Plunder, and was extremely disappointed with how bungie handled Pirates. He did enjoy being a space pirate and playing the new activity. He loved the pirate themed names (SCUR-V was his favorite).

Another season he was excited for was season of the Deep. He LOVED asa.

Annabeth:

She's master of all classes and subclasses- I can totally picture her spending time learning the strengths and weaknesses of each class before deciding what to main.

Her main definitely ends up being Warlock, and for her Subclass, she definitely floats between Solar, Void and Prismatic.

Her builds are entirely built for her own strengths with in the game. I can see her using Gravaiton Lance or Vexcaliber AND she's not above running div. she will if she has to.

For armor, I can see her liking Controverse hold, Nezarac's sin, or Felwinter's helm.

I can see her going with Human, and trying to make her character look like her best she can.

unfortunately they don't have the best customization screen but she tries her best.

For shaders, she's either getting all the best dressed commendations or she's matching Percy's chaotic nature, because she loves seeing him laugh at her ability to out do his very BLUE hunter.

Her Ghost is her baby, she named her Ghost June. June has two shells. Her typical shell is The Nine Lives shell(It looks like a little cat) the secondary one is worn only during the holidays, and it's the Confectionery Shell. (for those who don't know, That shell looks like a gingerbread house.)

For Playstyle, She's also fucking cracked at PvP, insanely strategic with PvE, and she's a raid sherpa for the Clan. She will be studying those raid mechanics like it's this weeks capture the flag battle plans.

BONUS: Annabeth found the My Name Is Byf youtube channel and fell down the rabbit hole of Destiny Lore. She loves the story so much. She felt soooo bad when Cayde-6 died, when Amanda died, etc. She unfortunately knew that they were fighting a war, and war isn't won without loss.

She actually teared up during Final shape. (IFYKYK.)

Jason:

Okay. This seems a little too on the nose but. Arc Titan. He found his niche and he stuck to it, in my head. He's way too good at the punch shit and survive tactics.

He likely has an alt Hunter that's Solar.

Born to be a hunter, forced to be a titan type of guy.

for those who don't know titans, to me at least, are very soldier like, and don't question the Vanguard. Same goes for Warlocks, except they know when and how to question the authority of the Vanguard. Hunters, on the other hand, are free spirits. they don't work for the Vanguard if they can help it. The former hunter vanguard, Cayde-6, while he loved his job, felt trapped in the tower. He wanted to be in the fields, running with no clear goal.

I feel that's Jason, in a sense. Trapped in his role as Praetor, yearning to go out and run wild. Hunter calls to him, but He goes with Titan because it's what he's used to.

I feel like he also somewhat uses solar, as a titan. and for that his exotics are definitely Lorely Splendor or Curiass of the falling star.

As for weapons, I feel like he uses Witherhoard, or Dead man's tale. He feels like a grenade launcher kinda dude.

I can see him going for Human too!

Just thinks it's simple and at first glance when starting to play didn't know what an awoken was or an exo so he stuck with human.

He is the type to entirely focus on bulking up so to speak so he's one of those W I D E titans you see in the tower. He found a shader he likes and refuses to take it off (New Age Black Armory. Same Jason, Same.)

Jason's ghost shell is simple I think. No Love Lost Shell, and yes. He matches it with Leo.

His playstyle is punch. He's a titan, He plays to his strengths! no but seriously, He's similar to annabeth, he's a Raid Sherpa, he's decently good at PvP and he's good at PvE. One of the few, extremely rare Gambit enjoyers.

When he's on his hunter, His PvP skills get scary good. He's insane, i fear.

Piper:

ohhh She's slaying I fear. Hunter, Prismatic or void.

She tried titan, and told Jason and Leo it was too bulky and hard to play. She tried warlock and thought it was cool, but She really liked the nimbleness of a Hunter.

Her exotic armor pieces are definitely Sixth Coyote, or Orpheus Rig.

for weapons, I can see her using Still Hunt and absolutely loving it from the moment she got it. in fact, she's always got a sniper equipped, I feel like she'd be so good with them.

I can also see her using Rat King; for the meme but also because it's actually a decent weapon, I'll die on that hill.

She's also Awoken, and she secretly simps for Mara sov and Petra Venj.

simple as that, and I can totally validate her love for those ladies they are very pretty.

Her Ghost matches annie's; because why not. She loves the little cat shell.

She's your typical hunter, in terms of shaders and style. Although her, Jason and Leo do tend to match their styles. Bestieism, your honor.

I feel like Piper's play-style depends on who she's with. She adapts herself to other's, and will play support if necessary- although she rarely does.

BONUS: She fell down the lore rabbit hole with annabeth. She also is a master at taking screenshots/recordings.

Leo:

OKAY. Leo is interesting to me.

not because I can't figure him out, but because he's simply...strange. He's definitely a master of all classes.

I feel like he sees the exohumans and just. "I can do that but better"

and spends more time off the game recreating Clarity and Clovis's science with that Modern-Day Demigod flair than anything.

That being said, he only uses solar.

Prob rocks Gjally with Percy. Ace of Spades on his hunter(Likely his most played class.)

armor, he prob uses something that doesn't help his sub-class, like ahkmanhara's spine or whatever. I can also see him using Shards of Galenor if he needs to actually think about what he's doing.

HE'S AN EXO.

THEY'RE LITERALLY ADVANCED ROBOTS.

THEY'RE SO COOL.

He loves it so much

His ghost matches Jason's, it's the No Love Lost Shell.

His dress-tiny is abysmal yet it somehow matches Piper and Jason.

when playing with them, he plays his warlock, and he rounds out the team perfectly- titan, hunter, warlock.

He's also a sherpa, but mostly for Vanguard stuff; like grandmasters. He also drags people through dungeons. Him and Percy LOVE Grasp of Avarice and troll new players with the traps.

Overall, I don't see him playing much unless asked to by his friends. He's the type to only log in if his friends are online (Real tho)

Frank:

OH. he's also a titan, send tweet.

Specifically, Void Titan. pretty purple bubble super, to be EXACT.

He doesn't have much time to learn the skill set for other subclasses so he stuck to this and he doesn't regret it.

His exotic armor piece is Saint-14's helm The boost it gives for the super he prefers is crazy helpful, as the perk gives blindness to anyone who enters the "Ward of Dawn" bubble (look at me using the proper names for things)

Weapon exotic is a bow. It's his thing irl and surprisingly in games too. He either rocks Trinity Ghoul or Verglas Curve.

Another Awoken.

Thinks the Awoken lore is really cool

As Praetor he has very little time to actually play, so sadly he probably has poor dresstiny skills. He's probably basic with his colors but, like Jason, leans into the big shoulders and wideness Titan's have.

His ghost shell is the Hareball shell. It looks like a bunny. He thinks its cool and Hazel finds it adorable.

His playstyle is adaptable to the people he's playing with; although you can catch him in the lead during raids with Annabeth and Jason; helping new players with their loadouts and explaining things if the new players don't understand.

despite not having time to play, He's a raid/dungeon sherpa. He loves the Duality, and Spire of the Watcher.

Hazel:

sorry, in my head she doesn't play. She likes to watch Frank play.

this isn't because she's from the 40s or anything, I just don't think a looter-shooter game would be something she would enjoy.

if she did play, she would be a prismatic Warlock.

probably use Sunbracers

Heartshadow because it's a cool sword.

She's also a human, she didn't understand what awoken or exo were when making a character

she's not into these games, in my head. Sorry gang!

Nico:

He TOTALLY leans into the emo hunter aesthetic.

Void, all the way. He's taking this way to seriously I fear.

I think Nico would use Orpheus's rig ONLY because Reyna told him it would help his build, and he totally agrees.

as for weapons? Cerberus+1. If I remember correctly it's a cracked as FUCK gun and, well, why wouldn't the son of Hades use a gun that's named after his dad's dog?

He's also an exo, simply because he thought it was interesting.

not because he wanted to match Cayde.

He didn't find cayde relatable, shhhh. (he totally did)

His Dresstiny is just. superblack shader + that skull helm from season of the haunted. oh and Cayde's cloak; He was so angry when Cadye died.

He's got either the Clicker Ghost shell because he thinks it looks cool, or the Egregore shell. Aesthetic.

his playstyle is insane- PvP and dungeons are his main things and he secretly trains new players to be able to hold their own in PvP against people like Percy or Annabeth.

BONUS HEADCANON: He watched a few lore videos during season of the haunted and got really into learning about the history within the world of destiny (Gardener vs Winnower, the witness, etc) and will have long conversations with Annabeth over these topics.

Will:

he's the ultimate support. He thrives with it; tbh

by that I mean he's a Warlock running well of Radiance. Yknow, the healing super. It's a solar super.

He uses sunbracers for exotic armor.

as for weapons, he uses sunshot, or Trinity Ghoul

I can see him being an exo aswell.

Star Wars fan. he wanted to be a droid.

His dresstiny is kinda peak ngl. He's bright and shiny in all the best ways.

His ghost shell is either Predator sun shell or M3-D1 Shell (this one reminds him of Star Wars)

playstyle is literally throw grenades, shoot bow and heal. He's got the healing part down pat- his timing with popping a well is scary good. typically people pop them at the start of the damage phase but he waits until the perfect moment.

he's gotten yelled at a few times for that, but hey, they avoided a wipe because he waited so whos really in trouble here?

He tries his hardest to match Nico's play-style sometimes but he's not on his level yet. Nico helps and teaches him tho!

Reyna:

So, she's another character I don't see enjoying the game. 1; because she's never near technology long enough to play and 2; she's had her fill of fighting and war.

that being said. She DOES enjoy helping Nico

She researches different builds and weapon loadouts for him while she's with the hunters.

sends him guides, articles with tips, whatever she can find.

The day Final Shape came out, she texted him "Kick the witness's ass for me, Di Angelo."

And Nico compiled.

OCS TIME!

Damien:

Hunter, all the way.

He spends sooo much time as a Hunter, he feels he can relate to their whole philosophy to a degree.

for subclass, I feel like he uses all, but mainly sticks to Strand or Prismatic.

Damien absolutely LOVES Ergo Sum; the new exotic sword.

He also loves any exotic hand-canon he can get his hands on. his top three are Ace of Spades, Hawkmoon, and Thorn

Armor Wise, he's rocking Wormhusk or Sixth Coyote.

He's an awoken. Wanted to be an exo, but wanted to balance the team when he plays with Jason and Leo.

he loves those boys.

In terms of Transmog, he's rocking the same shader as Jason, and he's got the memory of cayde cloak.

His ghost shell is def one that no one uses anymore. like the destroyed last city shell from vanilla d2. either that one OR he uses E99 shell, or the Empathetic shell.

basically, an egg, a heart or a fucked up broken shell.

His playstyle mirrors Percy.

those two, when they play together... oh boy

LOUD shouting, cheering, whatnot as they hold a 14 game long win streak over the new players.

Overall, he probably fucks around alot too.

Def eager edges ppl into walls during raids, just absolute menace.

Grayson:

He's another Titan.

Solar or Arc ONLY.

Lorely Splendor or Curiass of the falling star for armor exotics. He's very attached to them, tbh

For weapons, Gjallarhorn. won't stop using it.

Human, for simplicity.

He will be the guy to try and thundercrash everything.

He's simply a titan in every regard.

meaning, He's got the most titan transmog ever

BIG shoulders.

probably uses the watermelon shader un-ironically

AJ despises that shader.

His ghost shell is the Empathetic one, to match Damien.

they both have them set to the pinkest shader they can find

it's their thing. They are brothers, your honor.

His playstyle literally screams titan.

he punches cursed thrall and screebs.

why? because he CAN.

gods, it's a mess when playing pve with him but DAMNIT if he isn't good at pvp.

slays, really.

Marcus:

so he's a warlock

He's a teacher, I'm sorry, he's gotta be one

Prismatic, or Void. Refuses to run solar. Doesn't wanna be that Hephaestus kid that runs Solar.

For exotics? nezarac's sin, or controverse hold. SORRY but they're good for void, which is what I see him using majority of the time.

Weapons wise, he's swapping around alot but he like Graviton Lance or Ergo sum and tends to favor them.

Also an exo.

Sorry, all Hephaestus kids would be exos.

Clovis Bray would be a Hephaestus kid. off topic but it's true

Transmog is peak.

probably spends sooo much time getting bounties from ada-1 for synth weaves to unlock ordainments.

He probs uses the generalist shell. he's basic. SORRY BRO.

either that or the Descrated shell. he thought it was cool.

He's better at the game than AJ

his playstyle is perfected

He honestly has had to help AJ with campaigns and stuff because he's that good.

but don't put him in PvP

he sucks.

majorly.

SONA!AJ:

Cracks knuckles.

so. AJ is me, he's my SONA. soooo

Void Warlock, Strand Hunter, Solar Titan.

He mains Warlock

Nezerac's sin ONLY for armor. (try and take that from my UNDEAD BODY)

Ergo sum or Graviton Lance, but also...Gjallarhorn. he's basic!

ALL THREE ARE EXOS.

sorry, but they literally are the coolest.

his style is also peak (tooting my own horn here)

His warlock is his favorite ngl.

He use the Final Shell on his warlock, The Halcyon Shell on his Titan and the Clicker shell on his hunter.

He's unhinged in terms of playstyle.

screams at the game to listen to him as he does stupid shit.

"I'm winning- ope- I DIED, DAMNIT."

He's decent at PvP

loves raids, but hates asking people to Raid.

his favorite raid is Deep stone Crypt.

SONA!Zee:

alright.

He's a warlock.

I can def see him trying to play other classes, but goes back to Warlock for the healing rift.

Solar or Prismatic, I think.

He's a support type, when running solar.

Sunbracers for armor.

Crimson for his weapon

Exo human

he listened to AJ, Marcus AND Leo rant about how cool they were and decided to join the club

his transmog is a mess. Sorry Zee!

He doesn't match; AJ tries to help tho.

His ghost shell is the Lady-like shell.

It's a lady-bug. :D

okay. He's southern. you put him in a looter-shooter he's gonna be somewhat decent.

also he's an apollo kid.

built in perfect aim.

AJ's jealous, somewhat.

Sona!Ace:

Okay So, while I don't think they'd play much, I think they'd be a Hunter

two reasons. relatable philosophy and STAB.

Prismatic or Void, because Pretty colors.

Orpheus's rig, because several people told them to use it; and because it matched their outfit.

I can see them using Trinity ghoul for an exotic weapon.

an awoken, because they could make their skin pink.

they are an aphrodite kid. their transmog is the best here I fear.

bright and colorful, just like their ghost.

The heart-powered ghost shell, it fits them, so much.

they're dying the most but they're having a blast.

probably only playing to bully sona!AJ

They like bullying him.

RANDOM HEADCANONS:

Raids are literally the best with these guys and the clan.

They can play the new 12 player activity easily without needing to matchmake.

monthly clan crucible matches go hard.

Annabeth and piper take people through trials of Osiris.

Annabeth's kinda a sweat during those times but piper soothes the scared players and helps them in a nicer tone

Jason tries to run clan wide gambit matches but no one really likes it.

They have won a world's first raid race as a clan.

It was either Vow of the Disciple or Root of Nightmares.

Annabeth led the raid, she was SO proud of herself when they won the raid race.

at weekly reset annabeth sends messages to the discord server asking if anyone wants help with anything.

Percy always takes her up on it.

he loves playing with her.

AJ and Marcus play alot together too.

AJ calls it their required brotherly bonding time.

overall the whole clan has a lot of fun together.

Destiny is a great way for them to just forget about demigod shit and have fun

many of them are more invested in the story than they realize

Nico got a little emotional with Cayde's arc in Final Shape

Annabeth and AJ cried together after playing. Zavala's whole arc + the fact Lance Reddick wasn't able to close the book on Zavala before he passed really hit for them.

Percy LOVES Eva Levante. she reminds him of his mom.

AJ is so glad to have friends to play one of his favorite games with

Zee, AJ and Ace make up a fireteam.

those three have made lil guardian ocs together and talked headcanons for their fireteam.

FIN.

Thanks for reading this absolute beast of a post, I am SO SORRY it's long and took forever to make, but I genuinely put a lot of thought into it and took my time so it would make sense. I hope you enjoy it anon <3
