I'll have to think about this. I'm very excited to have an excuse to show my carefully selected looks off, but the two entries per class thing is difficult - I've got 3 distinct setups per class, one for each subclass, and I'm not sure I really have favorites among them. Choosing which ones to leave out... I don't know if I can.

I really wanted to do mini background write-ups for these characters but I am away from home on vacation - hopping on a friend's computer real fast to upload these images before the contest ends tomorrow :)

Fight with honor

Well behaved Hunters rarely make history

I can't stand the D2 trend of linebacker armor for Titans. Svelte Titan is best Titan. Is she all fancy pants? Nope. Her armor is simple. It's clean. It's no frills. It's armor, not a fashion statement. It's not meant to do the talking, that's what her flaming hammers are for.

That said, a few modest concessions have been made. A nice red flowing mark? It's important. Rocket boots? Dude. Rocket. Boots. The light is awesome and all but who doesn't want rocket boots? Also a somewhat vague reference to an early 21st century superhero film, because lets face it, she IS a superhero (with the rocket boots to match).

Tesni Jarmila

Little by little, Tesni has recovered from the Red War. Her short stint with the Dead Orbit faction was both sickening and enlightening. She found that, no, she did not... could not... in fact run away. But their ideas on organization and fleet building and staying mobile and gaining allies anywhere they could? Those stuck with the legendary Titan. And so, she turned her attention to the Reef. It had been silent for too long. And while yes, the Awoken were mysterious and standoffish in even the best of times, maybe if the City had been on better terms with their Awoken "allies" perhaps the Red War would not have happened to begin with.

Tesni is suited and armed for any combat scenario, but her load out (a large, two-handed Gatling gun, a long range Braytech sharpshooter's rifle, and... a broadsword...) is skewed notably towards up close range and melee support. On the battlefield, her fists and angular reactive armor are just as essential to her high kill counts as any weapon she carries in her hands.

Natela Tamaya Murk

In each of the months following Red War, Natela racked up a kill count... and death count... higher than her previous lifetimes totals in either category. Her recklessness quickly saw other Guardians keep their distance. 'Another one too far gone...' they would say with sadness, sure that she would soon find the final death she so desperately seemed to be seeking. But she is still out there. Still alive... somehow. And now there is word of new dangers among the territories that were once controlled by the Awoken...

That she still flies the colors and symbols of the New Monarchy and Iron Lords? Those were simply the last things she had on.

Natela's fighting style is still a faster, more agile mirror of the one used by her Titan mentor. Now, more than ever, she strikes fast and nimble. The rifle on her back hasn't seen much action since she lost her sister to the Cabal attack, much to her Ghost's chagrin.

Tacy

Since she was discovered by her Ghost in the aftermath the Red War, Tacy has no personal story of loss or tragedy to tell, but she has heard far more than she can count from the Tower's Guardian and civilian populations alike. You hear a lot of things when working as part of the Tower's restoration crew.

Tacy's thick coat and overslung effects bend far more towards the practical than the outfits of most Warlocks. Where they mostly focus on the complexities of the Light, Tacy prefers to focus on the complexity of the next data relay or electrical junction, and her tough, tear resistant outfit is simply what she needs to complete her tasks while working in tight, cramped access tunnels and passageways.

In the rare times that she does deploy out beyond the walls of the City, Tacy keeps her armament equally practical. A hand cannon for close combat. An auto rifle for covering fire. And, of course, a cargo-grade gravity grapple for actually getting things done.
