#but i'll make the habit of specifying one of her aliases

[codevanish]

just a little side note (i plan to update my slides over the next week with info specifically regarding her aliases) but people do not generally know josephine as josephine acker rather she has many personas+aliases but most commonly used in a post-2010 era are —— charlotte matieu, daisy o'connor, este middler and offhandedly she does and will introduce herself as josie without giving any other context as the only person in her life to ever call her josie was her mother back in the early 1900's. for the sake of cohesiveness you can default to your muse knowing her under the name josie if it is not otherwise specified and/or upon first interaction as josephine, when applicable, would simply explain it away as a middle name she is fond of should the need for explanation ever arise.

For the Destiny Questions ask game post -

1-10 for Nebula-10?

Send me asks about my OCs! Remember to specify character please, and if there's multiple posts I've reblogged please indicate the post the numbers are from. Thank you very very much for these asks!

If they're ones I've already answered, I'll just link the post I answered them on.

1. Where was your Guardian raised?

He was raised in a modest home somewhere I haven't thought of yet, by a mother who gave it all to support her family and a father who wasn't the greatest, ended up leaving his wife and son for his booze and gambling. But his life at first was unremarkable despite the fact they were living in humanity's golden age.

2. What race is your Guardian?

Pre-Exo, not sure! But he's an Exo. Considering his pre-Risen state isn't really important I've never really thought too much abt it!

3. What do they look like?

Take a look! Ref screenshots, and some are here too for simplicity's sake.

4. Guardian's name?

Nebula-10! Before he was Exo-ified, his name was Eustace. He also uses many aliases, titles and nicknames. Some call him Nebby or Nebs, like I so often do.

Early in his story, he went only by "Coyote," and was often dubbed Coyote Man, considering his wild-dwelling habits and the canid company he kept at the time.

He's been called the Widow, Widow-of-Spades, Queen of Hearts, Empress of Hearts, Peacock Man, Shrikelord, Hunter's Widow, Widow-of-Hen, Eclipse-Bringer, Princekiller, and others.

Buuut mainly just call him Nebby or Nebs. Fancy titles and aliases are only used when appropriate really, he doesn't care.

5. Defining Features?

Visually, it's his armor -- incredibly shiny and almost entirely scuff-free, maintained meticulously by hand. He would go as far as going over the fine details with a Q-tip if he had to. He's incredibly particular about his appearance to the point of borderline vanity. Everything from the perfectly-coordinated casual outfit to elegant studded dresses and suits. He makes a statement no matter what he's wearing.

His body is unique for an Exo, considering he has many biolight accents along his back, his chest, waist and legs, even glowing along his neck. He's a very glowy boy, he had them implanted custom himself. His plating is also smoother and more streamlined, less clunky busywork like what standard Exo frames have going on. I would love to get a nude ref of him one day because he's v pretty. He also has a lot of tattoos!

In terms of personality, he's very punctual, his presence turns heads. He doesn't really regard authority that isn't his own much, and takes the chain of command as merely a suggestion rather than something he should respect. He's sweet, even though he might be a bit puffy and arrogant, he'll drop everything to help someone who needs it most no matter the personal cost, detriment, or damage to his reputation or whatever. He doesn't do it to satisfy his ego, but because he's a sweet dude with a good heart.

After all, in a world so full of pain, a little bit of kindness goes a long long way.

6. Ghost's Name?

Pulsar, but Nebula calls him Pup as a nickname, especially to differentiate between his Ghost and his current husband.

7. What does their Ghost look like?

LITTLE GUY!!!! He used to have the default generalist shell, this is the current one.

8. How do they view their revival?

Indifferent. He couldn't care less -- he believes that death and life are both two parts of a natural cycle, and even though he died once and was brought back, he doesn't consider that a "violation" of the cycle. That he'll die again, and return to the land and the stars like he did before. It's an inevitability. But might as well celebrate it and love it while he can. Memento mori, carpe diem.

However, he regretted his revival, and scorned Pup for reviving him. This emotion was born entirely out of grief, considering how he lost both his kids and Cayde not long before. That the agony of grief was pulling him in much too deep to the point that it was unbearable. He would even do stupid things, and it was so bad that the Vanguard intervened and tried to support him. Even told Pup that if it was stressing him to see Nebula in so much pain to just. Not rez him for a while if he did anything stupid again to give them both room to calm down. Even though Pup could feel Nebula's light screaming against his in profound agony that he couldn't soothe no matter how badly he wanted to.

Eventually his previously-mentioned carpe diem memento mori attitude came back, along with the acceptance of Cayde's death and his healing process.

9. Preferred weapon or weapons?

Varies! He's comfortable with hand canons, but has a preference for machine guns and submachine guns. Something that's fast and explosive, like him.

10. Class?

Titan, through and through. He's mainly Void, but also trained in Solar -- only ever using it when he absolutely has to, considering how he's a Titan who utilizes Golden Gun and a special, modified version of Hammer of Sol.
