Hi, everyone! It's Louisa here (for Iphigenia and a few others~), and I am trying very hard to get back into RP. Boo, work.

So! I have a kind of getting-to-know-you game we can play. Maybe it will be...fun? Hopefully? /cringes at self

I'm curious about everyone's pups' and their respective canons, and I'm hoping others are as well! So, in this post, feel free to link to video clips/blogs/general flailing about the worlds from which your characters come from. Go wild! Wax poetic! Just be excited about media!

Also, if anyone wants to use this post as a sort of ~enabling~ thing, go right ahead. We probably all need more characters to play, right?

Hoo boy, Destiny canon. So this stuff is semi-notorious for being largely outside the game, sometimes in some pretty odd places. (Part of the argument for Blaze’s City being located in Nepal is based on a t-shirt, of all things.) The lore you actually find in game is largely in scattered flavor text and, as of last year, the dialogue that goes with quest updates.

Fortunately there are some good online resources: you can access the entire official grimoire here, and some helpful folks here have been collating entries by subject/people referenced in them. The latter is still very incomplete, but it has the benefit of including some of the aforementioned flavor text and quotes from in-game.

I have a whole bunch of favorite entries I’ll point out/blather about for anyone interested, but these are particularly relevant for Blaze: the Titan/Striker and Exo entries, naturally enough, but also this one about Exo dreams. Wei Ning deserves a mention for being her hero/historical crush.

Also as far as I'm concerned this video is canon.

I have never seen a game where the lore is found on MORE obscure places.

I thrive on pre-order book offers. You offer a book in some kind of deluxe version of a game and I'm THERE. I don't care if I gotta kill a guy to get the money for it, I'm ON IT.

So with that said, I love that they put out most of their lore in such a nice lookin' book. That's so good.
