Backstory (Destiny)

Well, before the Beta revealed how your Ghost resurrects you in Old Russia, I had this idea that my Exo hunter had been salvaged from a drop pod buried in rubble by some human survivalists scraping by. They were working on reactivating him when some Fallen took interest in their little enclave and attacked. With their dying breath one manages to activate him. His processors come on line, identify numerous alien contacts, recently deceased humans, and a shotgun.

No fallen would return to the drop ship. He would depart on a pike, headed for the only remaining rally point in his fragmented memory.

With the beta, I retconned it to a last stand at the walls of Old Russia's Cosmodrome. Building a wall of alien corpses to protect the few remaining humans trying to flee the end. His rampage only ended when the enemy deployed the city killers.
