Variks The Loyal - Tumblr Posts
Variks, The Loyal: Are you looking for the prison?
Me: No I’m looking for my heart because you seem to have stolen it
Variks: What
Me: You heard me
A good bug made a reappearance in my sketchbook yesterday :) So, I just had to add a little color too.
Fav characters?
(I’m assuming you want favorite Destiny characters. If this is not the case, just hit me with another ask.)
1. Osiris. It took me a long time to warm up to him, but once I did he jumped to the spot of my favorite Destiny character. I respect his ideas and how he wanted to know more about our enemies even though he became obsessed and got exiled for it. I also liked how in Season of the Dawn, it showed us more to him than that grumpy uncle and I really enjoyed how happy he was when he found out that there was a way to bring back Saint. Best grumpy uncle ever for me. I do wish they would have treated him better in his DLC especially after there was kind of a legend around him back in D1. Like dead*ss, Osiris is regarded as one of the most powerful guardians ever and we rarely got to see him.
2. Variks. He crept in and stole my heart right off the bat. When playing House of Wolves back in D1, I thought he sounded so cool and when I found out Dee Bradley Baker voiced him, I liked him even more. Also what made me like him even more was reading his lorebook in D2. This dude had to endure years of insults directed at him by Awoken, Humans, and guardians alike, yet he never seemed to hesitate to help. Hell, he tried to warn us about the Red Legion and was became upset that he wasn’t able to get the message through. Plus he is trying his best to unite the Eliksni again, despite seeing the majority of his people fall into madness. Now I don’t excuse what he did, but he was being influenced by the Fanatic the same way Uldren was. Overall, I think he is really cool and I am glad he’s coming back, hopefully, we don’t have to kill him though.
3. Zavala and Ikora. These two share the spot as I find both of them amazing characters and I wish Bungie would have used them more instead of relying on Cayde for everything. I admire how strong they have been through literally everything at this point and honestly, they both deserve all the love in the world. They are the strongest leaders I have seen from any game and they deserve so much respect. They also are great mom and dad type characters, because even though they fight, they still can come together to help and assist us and the people. We respect Ikora and Zavala in this house, and if you don’t that’s really not cool ngl.
4. Jolyon Till the Rachis. So he is not in-game, he has only ever appeared or been mentioned in lore, but still, he has become a big favorite of mine. So if you don’t know, he is the creator of the Lord of Wolves, one of his pastimes is taking enemy weapons and remaking them into something to be used by Awoken and guardians. He also has been through so much sh*t at this point yet still remains strong to lead the Crows in Uldren’s absence. He went to the Balck Garden for his best friend(or lover depending on how you see them) and came back with massive trauma from it, including scary *ss nightmares, but he never let that stop him from assisting the Awoken people. He had to watch said best friend(or lover) descend into madness. Then went Uldren went off the deep end, he had to go fetch him and realize that Uldren didn’t even remember him, or any of their time together. This man is so cool and I wish he would show up in-game and hopefully, he makes an appearance or something when Guardian Uldren shows up.
These are the main favs and hopefully, none of them end up dead.
Today in Destiny Inktober the prompt is favorite NPC. I chose Variks the Loyal.
He’s going to be so interesting to see in Beyond Light in a story context!
*Me on my way to bake Variks everything cause I ain’t baking for no one else this year*

variks when the kell of kells title was free
I imagine Variks being the greatest grandpa to the tiny fallen babies. Telling them great stories of old Eliksni heroes and their home world Riis.
