Ghosts but they dress up as Ghosts to scare their Guardians
Even more Ghost Things
- Ghosts who tend to the gardens in the Last City, who’ve been there since they were first planted.
- A gaggle of Ghosts who all spend their time together, and don’t stop now that one has found their Guardian. (“Woah Guardian, why does the Traveler let you have 6 Ghosts?” “5 of them aren’t mine but I can’t get rid of them”)
- Ghosts trying to encourage their Guardians to form a fireteam together, or join one
- Ghosts who write novels (trashy, good, some based of their adventures with their Guardians)
- Ghosts who hum to themselves while hacking
- Ghosts who are hilariously out of touch with like, everything
- Ghosts who transmat back samples of plants or planetary materials for research in their down time.
- Ghosts doing their best to mimick human gestures (waving a piece of their shell in hello, floating and lightly touching a human’s cheeks like greeting kisses, bowing/bobbing up and down slightly in deference or thanks)
- Ghosts spending so much time in a place in the City, that people get used to seeing the Little Light there, and are sad to see it eventually go.
- Ghosts nestling into the clothes of their Guardian during down time. Hiding in a Hunter’s hood, tucked near the chest of a Warlock’s robes, resting on the pauldrons of a Titan.
- Ghosts who make extensive lists of “Why That’s A Bad Idea, Actually” and list them off to their Guardian while they’re in the middle of said bad idea.
- Ghosts who are quieter than their Guardian, painfully shy except to their partner.

- Ghosts who make the saddest noise if they’re hurt or stressed, their little shell drooping
- Clumsy Ghosts who never watch where they’re going, and bonk into things constantly
- Easily distracted Ghosts who forget where they were in a hack, or don’t transmat things to the right place
- Neat freak Ghosts who are always chiding their Guardian for any mess they make – including the mess of getting blown up
- Ghosts keeping tallies and averages of how often their Guardian dies, and from what (they send the data to Ikora and Zavala so they aren’t put on Strikes above their ability)
- Ghosts that are always embarrassed by their Guardians
- Ghosts taking/teaching classes on tactics – best time to rez, where to hold for a teammate to help, keeping an eye out for your Guardian’s flank, etc.

- Ghosts who’ve been with their Guardian for a very long time, and have learned exactly how to cheer them up
- Ghosts who’ve been with their Guardian for a very long time, who knows exactly how to cheer Ghost up too
More Ghost things:
- Ghosts who refuse to heal their Guardians when they’re mad (in non-critical situations)
- Ghosts who ship their Guardian and are *vocal* about it
- Ghosts who get passive-aggressive about who has a better Guardian (grandmas at a knitting circle style)

- Ghosts that bonk their shells against their Guardian in frustration or playfulness
- Ghosts who get sick of it when their Guardian is in love
- Ghosts that hate each other, but their Guardians are best friends or lovers
- Ghosts that are best friends, but their Guardians hate each other
- Ghosts without Guardians silently choosing a Lightless who they get along with, pretending they’re a pair for a while
- Ghosts who stick with their Lightless friend until the end, hoping – always hoping – that it might change
- Ghosts without Guardians that help look after the refugee children with/without parents, hoping to help in some way
- Ghosts that are just. Really bad at reading the room, much to the chagrin of their Guardian.
- Ghosts who don’t care what their Guardian thinks, because who’s been alive longer? That’s right. It’s Ghost.

- Ghosts trying to sing with their Guardian – who also can’t sing.
- Ghosts who adamantly want a pet
- Ghosts who insist they can’t have a pet, because it’s already hard trying to keep the Guardian alive (and they get multiple shots at it)
- Ghosts that get huffy when they’re upset, but not vocally. You just see their shells twisting and puffing in and out.
- Ghosts betting things between each other (Hey, I bet you this shell that my Guardian will get more kills than yours)
- Ghosts that tut at their Guardian over every little scratch and bruise out of worry
- Ghosts who always use some of their down time in the City to mourn those lost. Some of those that their Guardian never knew, because they lived and died before Ghost found their Guardian.
