Hello there! A quick question for the Destiny characters.
If you're not familiar with the canon, every Guardian has a "Ghost", which are small drone-like entities responsible for their initial revival as a Lightbearer and essentially functioning as their connection to the Light. They also ressurect them whenever they die, as well as performing other functions such as sending/receiving communications transmissions, transmatting gear and personal vehicles, hacking tech to access files or open doors, etc. etc.
Ghosts are fully sentient beings with their own personalities who are (almost) always with their Guardians. In the field they tend to dematerialise as a safety precaution, though where exactly they go when they do so isn't clear as they are technically still with their Guardian (the player character's Ghost quips that he "lives in their backpack" despite the fact that they do not wear a backpack). I wouldn't consider them independant enough to be appable and they would more likely be categorised as an AI companion.
If a Ghost is lost or destroyed, Guardians lose their powers and also become mortal. Therefore we'd ideally like to have our characters keep their Ghosts. Would this be acceptable?
(Apologies for edits, I am praying for your inbox.)
