Młoda ogrywa ochroniarza w karty. (na kasę) (typ zapomniał jak sie gra po reboocie) (jest bezlitosna) | ko-fi
we dont have any examples of braytech security outfit ive made quick design for cayde. Completely dark one seemed bit too gloomy and hostile so i added some red and white from symbols concept art. Braytech symbols make it clear he is affiliated with corp and ishtar band signifies his job at protecting sundaresh in particular. And in his pocket is bray id card.
For micah i made hoodie based on penguin outer shell. Those toys are like matryoshka with plushie actually being inside the plastic so if micah took mishaylova with her for comfort it would make sense penguin would be "peeled". Way more huggable than a plastic statue.
The cards they play have backs with what i wanted to slightly resemble ace of spades (gun) decorative lines.
Also i wanted to make it clear its Eventide in some way so i took some screens of Exoscience. I like Operator symbol and it's halo makes it look divine so i put it on micah's side as she is a Dreamer. And jupiter for cayde cuz i fckin love jupiter in the bg raaaahh!!!! its so awesome. Couch is stolen from neomuna tho, lol. We dont have any access to civilian areas on europa but since its golden age there shouldnt be much difference. Couch is a couch!!
Destiny made their trans fem character a mother figure to individuals who have yet to find their place in the world and feel lost.
I must make a post gushing about them adding Micah-10 to the Final Shape. I first read about her through the story of Micah, the 10 year old who was writing letters to the traveler in the lore book, "Your Friend, Micah Abram." I started reading the chapters as I found all the penguins scattered across Europa. It's interesting seeing a perspective of a kid who has no idea about the exos being actual people, assuming they are robots and her fathers making sure that is what she thinks they are. And the other interesting part are the dreams she has about the traveler. It always seemed like a point in the lore that could go farther.
After reading the lore book, I quickly looked up more about her. She became an exo. Then she was rezzed by a ghost and she used her name from her past life. She always has a pack of ghosts who follow her around, and she protects them. She has become known as the Den Mother of the Ghosts, because of the little pack of ghosts following her. One of the ghosts we actually know was Andal Brask's ghost, and Micah warned the first hunter vanguard, Tallulah, that Andal would be a handful. And then the lore around the Six Coyotes, that she and other lightbearers protected a small village from the House of Kings, which is why she has the coyote on her cloak and chest plate.
I just really found these stories about her interesting. And then to see the preview of Cayde's deck of cards and the one with Micah on it, I was super stoked to see her in the Final Shape. And I just love all the little lore bits that are coming up about her. She mentioned in the mission to save the ghost Link that she has to write her gratitude to the Traveler in her next letter, implying she still writes the Traveler letters in this second life. Or how when you pick up one of the Final Shape collectibles, she is able to interpret visions she sees from them. I love the theory that Micah might become the next Speaker.
I hope whatever Bungie is planning for her, that they at least continue to have her in the game, like how they integrated Eido into the narrative more when they gave us her character model in Season of the Plunder. And I think with the way Episodes are, it might be easier to have Micah involved at some point. Bungie has been doing a great job incorporating Micah into the story and the Final Shape was a perfect opportunity to do so. Now if Bungie gave us Chalco Yong as a proper character instead of an obscure hidden agent, I would be writing a post like this as soon as we get that info lol.
Den Mother of the Ghosts! Micah-10!
I honestly love checking Twitter to see how transphobes are losing their minds over Micah-10 and on top of that Datto does a special stream for Pride Month and Byf posts stuff like this:
Sure, Destiny 2 community has the usual Gamers™️ but the creators and the majority of the community makes sure they’re not the loudest voices. Which is quite important these days.
Hug!!
