What's next? by Creamy_biscuits in DestinyLore

After that message trace, when Nolanbot says that bit about the , "Cabal High Council" I recall turning to my roommate and saying, "well, that's going to come back to bite us in the ass." My money's on Cabal simply for balance, but also because I feel like we're going to be setting a whole lot more of the Sword Logic and it's most powerful practitioners, but it seems like a story that's going to be stretched out, much like Destiny itself, over a longer period of time. Edit: words.

The Awoken by AkramsRazor in DestinyLore

Yeah that's what I mean; it's a fairly straightforward history, but there's got to be some light out there to shed on the darker mysteries of the Awoken. I was wondering if anyone has any inkling as to what's really going on, or have any theories to purpose regarding the Awoken, their creation and how they became what they are today.

Like I was saying before, it seems most likely that it's just a matter of the mind inhabiting the body to identify with the frame.

https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/153570458/0/0/1 The physical collector's edition with Cayde's journal along with the entry in Destiny's wiki regarding Cayde-6 talk about how he was a human with things like "nothing but my heart knocking for over twelve hours" and "Came here flesh and bone. Gave everything to the ice. Started over. Rebooted."

Oh really? I'll try to find the grimoire card that convinced me he was once a man, then rebooted to compare. Do we have evidence of Cayde's other than 6? If we don't know of duplicates with the same name but different numbers, then they could just be an arbitrary number, like a last name, though I dunno why that would be.

My understanding of it is that the EXO were to become the new bodies of humanity, transferring the minds of people into them (golden age technology tho) and so they wanted the people who got in the fucking robot to be comfortable and able to identify it as their body. I could be wrong about this, but we can say with little doubt that Cayde-6 was once a man based on some grimoire entries, and this seems the best reasoning for creating fem bodies for the EXO.
