The Inheritance Cycle as Guardians
Ive been playing a lot of Destiny 2 and have also been rereading The Inheritance Cycle so this came into being. I'm fulfilling a niche, and that niche is just me. Sorry in advance I only did a few characters.
Eragon: rezed on earth, in a abandoned town somewhere in the country.  He is an old light practicing both warlock and titan aspects. He is the type that probably hung with Saladin and his Iron Wolves, for a time at least. Otherwise he kept to himself. Saphira, his ghost, uses the Knights Peace Shell. Refuses to rez him for a week when he titan smashed into the side of a cliff trying to kill a Kell. The aftershock is the only thing that saved him.
Murtagh: he is a new light, found on earth in a desert. He died about five times trying to outrun some fallen. He learned how to hide his tracks soon after that,, with his ghost help of course. He is a hunter and specializes using solar, he's a gunslinger through and through. His ghost, Thorn, uses the Crimson Shell. They get along well and Thorn enjoys bring sent on missions by zavala. Thorn and Targe gossip about their Guardians to each other.
Angela: 100% one of the first warlock risen. Uses all classes and switches to what she needs. Her ghost, Solembum, uses the Nine Lives Shell. She practices in Thanatonaut. She keeps to herself and usually hangs around the old Ishtar collectives to see what information she can pull from the golden age. Currently she only comes by the tower whenever Eva Lavante is holding an event or holiday. They get along very well.  Her ghost is often seen with her, but he can sometimes venture out on his own while she is busy looting old golden age tech on Venus.
Arya: An awoken, as well as a new light. Her ghost found her around old Cabal rigs in the EDZ and it seems like the place she died in suffered from a cabal attack. She specializes using Nightstalker, "The Way of The Trapper". Her ghost, Fírnen, uses the Bursting Wisdom Shell. They get along well, but Fírnen often corrects her fighting style and hates how she goes off alone without a fireteam deep in the Cosmodrome. Fírnen really hates the hive and does his best to Protect Arya when the wizards start to sing.
Oromis: A distributary born Awoken. His body was found deep in the jungle of vex overrun Venus. He is one of the Risen, and made his way out of hostile Venus with a trashy jumpship that crash landed somewhere around old Chicago. The crash had killed him, his ghost, Glaedr, who uses the Alchemical Dawn Shell revived him quickly enough only for Oromis to be overrun by a swarm of hive thralls. He is a solar warlock that uses Dawnblade Specifically "Well of Radiance". He also practices in the Thanatonaut and tries to figure out the way of the world through his death dreams. He at one point, climbed Felwinters peak much to his ghost annoyance. He keeps to himself, but his favorite place to be is the Ishtar academy on Venus. He often thinks about things back in the golden age, how they could of been and what made everything go so horribly wrong. He had an interest in Ahamkaras, and when Guardians had to kill them he stepped away from the city and the tower completely. He meet Osiris and at one point they had often shared information. When Osiris consumed himself with the vex, Oromis respected that and left the man to his devices. Glaedr and Sagira are the best of friends and Sagira often comes around to see how they are doing.

Some vocabulary for my Inheritance Cycle peeps who I doubt know what I'm talking about lol
Ghost: a little fancy robot who was created to find their specific guardian. (Kinda like how a dragon bonds with someone, except these people can't die permanently)
Rezed: the action your ghost does to revive your horrifically dead body. Not even being blown to atoms will stop your ghost from rezing you.
Titan: a type of Guardian class that specializes in heavy hitting. They use all fists and no brain. Ironically the best titans are military commanders.
Warlock: a type of guardian class that specializes in the mind. They believe everything is linked. They often are associated with bookworms.
Hunters: a type of Guardian class that specializes in close combat. They are silent, quick, and deadly. Hunters are loners and don't stick to groups. They are known to travel alone but are the best at knowing how to kick back and cause havoc.
Awoken: A type of human that was affected by some weird dark and light hababaloo that caused them to turn blue and live in a place nobody else but them can touch. So basically, space elves.
Distributary: the birthplace of the Awoken. Only they know where this place is, and nobody but them can visit it. (Ellesméra)
Void, solar, arc: types of Guardian subclasses that people choose from. They are abilities born from using their ghost and the light.
Kell: A big ol blue alien that has quite literally eaten way too much and is way too strong and overgrown. Headbuttting a Kell causes a guardian to break their neck, the biggest ones have four arms.
Vex: evil robots, nobody knows where they originally came from or how they were created.
Hive: evil... things. They were found on the moon originally and their only purpose is to end guardian life to feed the life essence that controls them, their worms.
Thanatonaut: When a guardian dies, sometimes they get visions. Maybe it's visions of the future or merely dreams of their past life, nobody knows. Warlocks often partake in this to try and get a better understanding of the world, so with the help of their ghost they kill themselves over and over until they get a vision. Usually this upsets the person's ghost but they are also usually compliant.
New/old light/risen: The name for a specific generation of Guardians. The Risen were the first among earth and often didn't pick any specific class to call themselves so it was a mix of abilities. Old lights are just old, but not as old as risen. They have picked a class and stuck to it. New lights are usually within their first few years of Guardian work.
Ishtar Collective: A database in the game, full of old human knowledge before the Guardians. It has all been lost or destroyed, nobody knows why but the ruins still exist in game.
Iron Wolves: A form of Risen who helped early settlers of humans stay safe and usually warded off other Risen who meant people harm.
Ahamkara: Special types of dragons who made their home on early Venus. They usually hung out with the Awoken, but these dragons make your desire a reality. The bigger you wish the bigger they grow. They are a massive "Monkey's paw. Hunted to extinction after the Awoken found out how bad it was to deal with them, Guardians usually keep their bones as trophies.
Felwinters peak: A place at the top of a very high mountain. Guardians climbed up it often. They died a lot on the way up and often frozen to death. Fun times really.
