A continuation of the Axi ask for @arcaneglitch (and anyone who maybe possibly is interested in my made up stories)

So let's talking about Destiny 2 Axilaes =)

For the basics, he's a warlock, broodweaver specifically, he was revived in the dark ages (OLD), and he's human (albeit with cybernetics in him)

I feel like there's a lot to talk about so I'll break it down via different segments

His Timeline & History

Axi was revived in an old Braytech facility in the Dark Ages before there was any sense of a collective humanity during the time where warlords controlled land used their Light for power. He noticed he was capable of some of the same things they were, rifts, floating, and being essentially immortal as long as his Ghost was alive. But unlike the other risen he noticed his light didn't seem to manifest as any particular element, all he was really good at was making rifts, and any time he tried creating any of the other elements he saw it ended in failure. He stayed like this for a while.

Along the way he got a travelling companion, who was another risen with the same kinds of powers as him but was able to manifest a fire element power. They wandered together and exchanged their healing powers for food in the settlements they visited, but eventually they had a falling out and Axi went out on his own. He met the Drifter a few times.

He made a habit out of stalking warlords and scavenging the carnage after battles for supplies, so in legend he became kind of a ghostly figure who haunted the scenes after wars broke out. He unintentionally befriended a dog, ended up with a pack, and used his pack to help him scavenge and vulture off others. Sometimes he'd even purposefully create hostility between two opposing powers just so he could steal and pillage unnoticed. He also started to see little green wisps appear when it seemed like something important was about to happen.

When the world started shifting into a place that had more order and discipline he kept his routine by joining up with a rogue crew of Eliksni pirates. When they eventually all died, he retreated back to earth alone and decided to live isolated in silence for a while.

On his travels with the Eliksni on other planets he'd taken an interest in the foliage and flora that existed in the Sol System and especially with paracausal plants, taking note of certain kinds that would be imbued with Light or Darkness. He studied them and learned to extract and use their powers. Some risen, and guardians at this point with an interest in his work would ask him for the consumables he made, which he offered at a price. Over time he started becoming a name associated with Dredgens since they would use his concoctions to commune with Darkness or overexert their Light. At this point he'd also began understanding the green wisps and learning to control them

Drifter asked him to join in on Gambit when it started, and he refused at first. Eventually he lost a bet and was forced to play a game, and he realized he loved it. He remained a consistent player and made a slight name for himself amongst frequent Gambit players.

When strand was revealed to the cast of the game he had finally stopped hiding the fact that he'd already learned about it and managed a basic level of control over it up to that point.

Cyberware

When Axi was revived he was already equipped with a strange type of cyberware replacing his arms, lungs, heart, eyes, and parts of his spine. Despite having cybernetic eyes his vision is QUITE BAD, which was odd, until he managed to find some information at Braytech about an "experimental aquatic proto-exo" meant to be exos designed to fully inhabit water. Sure enough, underwater he's able to breathe (though not without a little discomfort) and see perfectly.

He doesn't know why he's not a finished prototype and was left primarily organic, but it doesn't bother him either way.

Personality & Relationships

At his core Axi is the type of person who just wants to live a peaceful life. He has hobbies and interests, but he's not ambitious with his work. Unfortunately (as he sees it) he's had a bad track record of getting really attached to people. Some kids back in the Dark Ages, his old dog pack, his former Eliksni crew, Lucius (who belongs to @light-thedar-k), and Elijah (who belongs to @thetruenightzedge)

Axi doesn't have much empathy for humanity in general and only wants to keep himself and those in his circle cared for, so he's very willing to jeopardize others for the sake of his own needs and feels no guilt about it. He's emotionally stunted and has a harsh personality, he scolds a lot, he's bossy and strict. With strangers he's often cocky and always unintentionally (and maybe sometimes intentionally) carrying an air of "I'm better than you" with the way he holds himself and smiles condescendingly. When he feels like he's lost control of a situation he's quick to anger and over-dramatic frustration (and frankly just going fuckin feral). He loves games and gambling and bets, and he's a real sore loser lol. When people hurt the ones he cares about he tends to go overboard with the revenge.

Lucius he met in the Reef when he lived as a pirate, and her death was one of the first to affect him as much as it did, he saw her as a sister. Elijah he fought against a few times in Gambit, and they developed a very intense horny enemies to rivals to lovers dynamic.

Extra Trivia

He's gay and transgender, and transitioned before he was revived

His Ghost is named Anem

Since the dark ages he's always been able to have visions or gut feelings about the future, so in some degree he's like a psychic but he has low control over his ability unless he meditates consistently. He often has visions of the future while he's sleeping that feel very real, and also has dreams of parts of his life in the past, so oftentimes when he wakes up he has a hard time knowing whether he's in the present past or future, and gets really disoriented. He hates sleeping.

He doesn't like to cook

He adopted two golden age sentient AIs he found and named Ćiknawi and Hari and input into his jumpship and sparrow/skimmer respectively

He's really lazy

and you can have a little half assed drawing I did of him

More information about Iberis-3 under keep reading. I wrote a whole essay.

Short' History:

Iberis-3 is a young warlock, resurrected a few years before The Red War campaign. He was found somewhere in eastern Europe by his ghost, named much later Eva.

His 'young years' in the old Tower weren't positive. Iberis had problems with controlling his light to combat purposes, he wasn't good at the crucible and had personal problems understanding being a guardian, why him etc. There were also self-confidence issues. This annoyed his ghost so they argued a lot in Iberis early years. Eva was pissed off that he cannot be like others.

Iberis left the Tower after half a year. He didn't want to be a guardian/warlock. He didn't like his ghost. He was fed up with it all. After another argument, he parted ways with his ghost for several months. Eva stayed in the Tower with the other ghosts and the Speaker.

Iberis was homeless in the Last City for a while until he was hired by one of the civilians - Eddy. Not only that, Eddy allowed him to live with him and his family in his house for a while until Iberis became financially stable. Eddy did it because Ibeirs gave his missing dog back and saw that this exo had serious problems. For this reason, Iberis worked on the farm (not EZD farm, but in the Last City. People and guardians have to eat, k?). There started his fascination with plants and learning basics.

At this time he started getting dreams about Traveler which shows him how differently he can use his light, not-combat purposes. Iberis at this point began to understand that he could somehow control the growth of plants, but very poorly. Therefore, he began to learn the basics and requirements of plant cultivation.

Months passed. Iberis moved to a small apartment in a residential block but continued to work on a farm. He felt good in this place and made friends with other civilians. Iberis kept the fact that he was a warlock a secret because he didn't want anyone to know about it.

This time was important for him. He began to feel comfortable with who he is. I don’t mean the guard stuff but more his personality, what he likes etc. At The Farm, he met many friendly people. He didn’t feel like a total loser. I always thought that self-confidence is associated to accept who we are, well I wanted a small fragment of this in the story of Iberis. I cannot say Iberis-3 is always confident but his positive, calm thinking helps him with some problems.

Unlucky for him, his ghost again found him after this time. Ibeirs wasn't happy about it, he felt immediately as bad as in the Tower when he saw her again. He was 100% sure that she would try to make him come back which he didn't want to. His little life wasn't perfect but he feels much better than when he was the newbie guardian. To his surprise, however, Iberis's ghost didn't want to make him do it, but to talk to him. At this point, she also asked him not to call her Ghost but Eva.

Eva apologized to Ibeirs for her earlier behavior, constantly whining and scolding him for every little thing. She said she wants to stay with him no matter did he wants to be the guardian or not. Iberis reluctantly agreed to this. Luckily, he didn't regret it. Their relationship has changed dramatically to a more supportive one that finds a common understanding.

During the attack of the Red Legion, Eva convinced Iberis-3 to join other Guards to defend The Last City, but we all know how it ends. Iberis-3 saw the Hero of The Last City - Scilla-7 falling from the Red Legion’s battleship. She and her ghost didn’t survive that. They were dead.

After losing the light he fled the city and the story is not different than the original story from the game: Helped at The Farm, his light back, helped the vanguards, and finally beats Ghaul.

He hates when he’s called The Red War Hero because he thinks we would do nothing without the help of Zavala, Ikora, Cayde-6, Suraya, Eva and many other people. The Traveler beat Ghaul, NOT him. He just had more luck than skill. That he survived is a miracle, but you know - people don’t listen.

After The Red War, he was back to be Guardian. He still has problems at the Crucible, and still feels uncomfortable around Lord Shaxx but he's forgiving of himself - baby steps to be better. Meanwhile, Ikora helps him to better control his Voidwalker light which with her help Iberis-3 does very well, and makes quick progress in a short time. Nobody can be good at everything, right?

More of a story from a different time. It's too much, slr.

Personality:

Iberis-3 is a calm person who didn't like to show many emotions around other guardians, especially strangers-guardians. He still has trauma after his blueberry years. Iberis much easier gets in contact with civilians but still keeps his distance, and doesn't want to open for others easily.

But when he finally opens up after a long time or has a good reason, he's a nice and friendly person. He unexpectedly turns out to be a very warm person, full of understanding and not immediately judgmental. He is a passive observer. He is aware of what is going on around him, and associates with other guards/civilians but never makes contact when he doesn't have to. Usually his ghost Eva tells him what happens in the Tower cuz she's much more social than him.

Iberis is an introvert. Crowded and noisy places? Parties? Public events? No, thank you! If he doesn't have to be there, he 100% won't be there. He feels more comfortable in quiet and calm places where are not too many ppl.

Iberis is sarcastic and observant. He can also be brutally honest. He's not a fan of carefully choosing his words so as not to offend anyone.

However, in addition to these shortcomings, he also has a more witty, playful nature. He doesn't show it often unless he knows someone pretty well or if you are his ghost Eva.

Other Facts:

Iberis-3 name comes from the flowering plant Iberis sempervirens - Evergreen candytuft or Perennial candytuft, the flowers are white. He knows about this but doesn’t share this fact - candytuft doesn’t sound good for warlock.

On Earth, EDZ, somewhere around The Farm, Iberis has a greenhouse. He’s interested in flora, not only flowers but also fruits and vegetables. He doesn’t share this fact because he thinks that it wouldn’t be well received by other guards. (You, know many more dangerous, serious problems. Growing plants = wasting time).

Iberis-3 likes painting and drawing. He’s not good at this but makes him happy. Mostly he draws/paints plants ‘cuz he describes in this way unknown species from The Nessus or plants from The Earth about which he cannot find any information.

Iberis-3 has an apartment at The Last City. (I always thought guardians live in the tower as roommates/alone or something like that). He wanted more privacy and to leave work really far away when he has a bit of free time.

Iberis has a cat. Her name is Trouble. She lived in his greenhouse in EDZ but later he took her to the city.

———————————————

Okay, that’s all from me for now.
