"Uldren is delusional," Azra said. "He's slaughtered his own subjects. He's murdered people. Even if he's incapacitated, or harmless, he's a danger to Reef society just by the blood in his veins. If he's willing to try to kill Petra? To kill his people, the ones that he was supposedly dedicated to? He'll do anything. That's dangerous." The Prison of Elders hadn't been able to hold him. They didn't really have many other options.

"Even if he begs and pleads," Veera said hesitantly. "Even if he asks for forgiveness?"

"I don't expect you to shoot him," Azra said. "I don't even expect you to be okay with me shooting him. But he put us on this path. I'm finishing it."

Destiny enemies and enemy models that I really really liked and could've been used more:

Marauder Ultras:

They're fun to fight! They're fast, can use stealth, can use shock blades, and don't have to Boss StompTM. I would've loved to see these guys decked in white, cream, blue, and black if they were on Europa. You don't have to give em Stasis but a different boss than just Large and slow Captain is a nice change of pace.

House Salvation elites (Enforcers, Disciples, and Assisstants)

>Makes 3 custom enemy types that use Darkness powers for the first time, all with unique models and animations

>barely uses them

>they disappear for 2 years

They didn't come back til Seraph! SERAPH. Come on man. These fuckers should've been everywhere throughout BL. I also think their lack of appearance also contributed to the lack of urgency of the "our enemies have darkness now" threat. I mean, we fought like 8 or 9 named "Salvation Elites" but most were just standard Ultra Captains. If they were Elites, they could've just been these guys.

Side note: Out of the new factions of Lucent Hive, Shadow Legion, and House Salvation. Salvation didn't get an "invasion" season to go with their expansion. Robbed. Truly. They made a Military-Industrial Complex and barely set foot anywhere else besides Europa. I also think this was a factor that didnt create any kind of urgency during BL.

Berserkers

Need I say more? Look at this swagged out motherfucker. If House Salvation really subsumed multiple houses under its banner, Kells Scourge included, should've thrown a couple of these bozos out there. Alter the shield mechanic to be more easily disabled by a solo player. Could even make their armor jet black. Given they have stealth itd be a nice visual contrast when they reveal themselves. I didn't play Scourge of the Past too much, but I did enjoy these guys when I did.

(Can you tell I'm biased at this point?)

Psion Flayers

Easy miniboss material. They dont have to be Ultra sized, maybe just slightly bigger than standard Psions. Could even give them a supporting role on the battlefield. Empowering Cabal around them with their enhanced telekinetics, those enhancements varying by elemental type and tying back to our Light 3.0 abilities. (Sun Flayer/Solar=heal, Abyss Flayer/Void=overshields, Storm Flayer/Arc=movement speed). Of course, their armor would have to have more visual differences and distinct silouhettes as I imagine trying to pick out which one is which based on color alone could be difficult for some. Hell, truthfully, I'd be fine if they were just the fucking Psion Sisters from Season of Dawn copy and pasted everywhere. But a supportive role would add more variety to a fight.

Rocket Centurions

Bet you forgot about these dudes, huh? They pop up in the EAZ but, you know, we've been fighting the Cabal for this long, you think more would've strapped rockets to their backs by now. While their missiles are just Colossus slow missiles (iirc), they could just be normal missiles that explode and don't slow just to keep them different. While these could be neat minibosses, if you want an Ultra one at the end of a story mission or something, they could take the Elykris (The Machinist) route of firing missiles where they go straight up in the air and red dots target the ground around you and you have to keep moving. They could've popped back in with the Shadow Legion. I think they could rock black, gold, and purple

Anyway this is mostly about House Salvation and Psion Flayers and I remembered Rocket Centurions in the middle of making this post. If I remember anything, I'll reblog it. I was gonna say something about the other races but Hive don't have a lot of variants that can be turned into minibosses and the Vex got Wyverns (seriosuly. No notes. A perfect enemy type). Obviously it's like way too late to add these to previous story missions, but if we are gonna reuse enemy types, can we reuse some of the cooler ones? Please?

"Transl. from Eliksni" Flavor Text translated into Eliksni Conlang

Here are those flavor text lines I've been mentioning in every SotConlang post since the dawn of time! Finally! These were more of a "chip at it when there's downtime" project, since they're fairly short and simpler compared to than Null Composure. I'm very proud of them, as this is the culmination of several months of background work and my first completed translation project! *throws confetti*

side note: on Ishtar Collective, some items say "transl. from Eliksni" and others say "trans. from Eliksni". i definitely didn't only just find that out when I was close to being done w the original lines i found..... anyway idk what the reason for the difference is (probably diff ppl wrote the flavor texts) but now you all know if you want to go look these up yourselves. I made them all say "transl." for consistency here.

Translations are all below the cut, plus maybe some notes if I have the room/energy to write them!

New here and confused? This post is part of my ongoing project to create a language for the Eliksni! For more information check out my masterpost linked here.

That was a whole lot of stuff so I think I'll leave the notes out (theyre not anything super special anyway lol). Might reblog to add some rambles later if anyone is interested!

What your favorite Scorned Baron says about you!

FIKRUL - The Fanatic

You consider yourself a team player but your fireteam members have... Different ideas about that...

ELYKRIS - The Machinist

You really Really... Really miss the Wrath of the Machine raid. But hey, we have outbreak perfected now so it's not that big of a deal? .... Right?

HIRAKS - The Mindbender

You think Oryx is hot, which I mean. Who can blame you? He is. Bonafide monster fucker here boys.

ARASKES - The Trickster

Either you're a Big Lesbian or you think the trickster's name is the coolest. Both valid reasons.

REKSIS VAHN - The Hangman

This is the favorite baron of the hunter mains that immediately put on the scorned baron vest, prodigal mask, and shards of galanor after the cinematic with a dredgen in it. You know who you are.

KANIKS - The Mad Bomber

You think LOLXDWAFFLE humor is genuinely funny, albeit secretly. It's okay, cringe culture is dead, sing a song with your bff Kaniks, I won't stop you.

PIRRHA - The Rifleman

You think being good at sniping in PvP is a personality trait. Heads up, it's not. You're just as insufferable as Pirrha here.

YAVIKS - The Rider

SRL was the only PvP you were good at and you're pissed they haven't brought it to D2 yet.

ULDREN SOV - The Crow

Sorry pal. He's not a baron. I included him on this list for all you cowards out there that don't have a favorite baron.

Destiny-tober Day 12: Fallen

Here we have some test drawings for the Fallen Barons of the Forsaken storyline that I never finished. Not sure about all of them but still...

[leadingwarlock]

ok i have made this post like a million times but i have to restate that araskes, asher, cayde, devrim, drifter, efrideet, elykris, hiraks, nokris, oryx (canonly!!!), shaxx, the speaker, vance, and variks are all trans ....

[ars0nism]

my fear of making the scorn seem out of character vs the fact that we know nothing of what theyre like aside from the violent parts

[khashoggisship]

i remembered that Yaviks is the shortest of the Scorned Barons and now I had an idea

because everyone is taller than her, Araskes and maybe Kaniks and Reksis (don't ask me why it just seems like a thing Reksis would do) put things (ether canisters, tools, spare parts etc.) on really high shelves just to watch her get mad that she can't reach them, and also sometimes put HER on the high shelves and laugh as they watch her try to get down without splatting on the floor

this also leads to Elykris and Hiraks getting really sick and tired of having to stop what they're doing to either put Yaviks on the floor or get what she needs for her because every 5 minutes they either hear her screeching for someone to get her down or she comes waddling into their rooms yelling that her stuff is on the top shelf again
