Subject: The Five Factions

My name is Mark Mezzetta and I was a beta tester for Bungie's game Oni and Take Two's game Myth 3: The Wolf Age.

To pass time, how about we try to guess what we think the five factions represent. Let's see how many, if any, we come close to when the game comes out.

Seven Seraphs: Conglomerate of alien races in the same mold as the Pfhor/Covenant. This seems to be the most popular Bungie shirt in their office, seraphs are a Covenant vehicle, so Book It! ;)

FWC: The coalition of human soldiers a la Oni in Halo.

New Monarchy: The human rebellious group serving under a leader/king. Their main rivals are the FWC.

Dead Orbit: Ancient, advanced civilization similar in vain to the Jjaro/Forerunners. They have been lost and trapped on a moon like structure orbiting a planet. (i.e. W'rkcacnter were trapped on the sun of planet Lh'owon)

Osiris: A religious cult who are outcasts to society, possibly discovered ancient alien technology on their adventure. Either following an alien supreme (think prophets in Halo) as worshipers or leading the way to lowly alien slaves.

This could be fun for now...

My honor student can beat up your honor student.

Seven Seraphs: Conglomerate of alien races ala Covenant. Very advanced, but at a stalemate with current Human forces.

FWC: New Human Military Faction. More authoritarian version of the UNSC.

New Monarchy: ONI equivolent. Dark, looming presence that has significant sway in the FWC.

Dead Orbit: Ever seen Firefly? Very similar to Reavers, but with more retained humanity. Act as an antagonist similar to the Insurrectionists.

Osiris: Mysterious highly advanced alien race that was destroyed by the Seven Seraphs/Humans many years before the game takes place.

I am sad we know little, wonder if the deal has been changed. Anyway, I wonder if there will be aliens in this game. May cause problem in the game as its mmo and now new bodies need to be made. For me I feel lile it will be like a bit of eve with some other games combined.
I dunno they feel human. And seven seraph is a term for me to be a council of elders, or powerful leaders that are seven.
I will explain more later.

We may or may not be able to play an alien race in this game, but judging by Bungie's gaming style, it is likely we will see some type of alien(s) in the next game. My guess would be a mixture of different races...

Thanks for the response risay. Looking forward to hearing more from you later.

Yep interest is very low here. At least it is a common subject on the community forum.

It's just strange posting this topic, but others rather talk about why we didn't receive the other two shirts, lol.

He's right on top of us! I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using...

This thread would get more life in the community forum, and there have been some like it. Since there is no released Destiny universe yet, speculation happen in the community forum.

(at least, thats my guess as to why...could be just cause)

Seven Seraphs-

A group of warlords, or a council of seven(elders maybe), who banded together, and lead their nation through the conflict.
Democratic in a sense as others can take the spot. The seven are powerfull men in the group as they are called seraphs.

New Monarchy-

Some say its a totally new faction in the games universe but for me its the faction going through a change recently,
and has a new approach on the whole empire. A dictator has taken over from the last empire, overthrowing them and bringing
his or her dream to them. Really nice to his or her subjects.

FWC-

A military dictatorship. Authoratative regime, where everyone is given their jobs, and have quite a socialistic background.
Everyone has their job to do, and everyone gets their thing. Those who rebel, usually are put as outcast, yet those who
follow the rules, have a really great time. They live in a comfortable and good setting. Everyone is militarily trained.

Dead Orbit-
A faction that is kind of like the rebel. I do not know what to say, the name is so abstract.

Osiris-
A religious faction, that fights for their religion, and those who follow their religion are happy even if times are hard.
Not that advanced but their soldiers are strong believers of the creed. Powerfull soldiers, with high morals.
