Your Character in the World of Destiny

I get what you're saying, but consider these two points:

1. You say you'd like to see a player's story, but consider how that would work. How would you choose to illustrate what a player has done to the other players they encounter? Would a block of text pop up summarizing their life story? How about a bullet list of missions completed or something? I am not sure how what you're getting at would work in an at-a-glance visual sense. The sort of thing you're talking about really only happens by word of mouth (which is fine, but it only works for friends-of-friends, or maybe a few particularly well-known players, YouTube celebrities and the like).

2. How a player sets up their character, what they carry and wear, is telling the player's story. From the sound of things so far, loot (or at least some of it) may be specific to certain missions, enemies, or events. The combination of what you've acquired, and which of those acquired items you choose to actively use, says things about where your character's been, what they've done, and how they (virtually, of course) live. Again, keep in mind the point is that someone you have JUST encountered could get an idea what sort of player you are simply by the look of your character.
