Chapter 4: Of Exotics and Engrams - Time to Roll Your Gachas, Guardian!

"Char, time to spend our time on rng gacha. My worst nightmare if I get bad loot of course." I hope I don't get bad loot. I will kill more minotaurs for better loot.

[Hush, what we get is what we get alright.]

"You're not the one using the loot" DID SHE ROLL HER EYE AT ME. THE AUDACITY.

Wait did Shaxx say something about the audience? Probably nothing. (False alarm people)

[I'm opening the first engram.] Come on baby, give me something good with good rolls.

{Good news and bad news.] no no no no wait wait.

[I got some iron banner armor but the exotics don't want to open. Low light level…...]

"You mean to tell me I risked getting tossed around by a minotaur only for the exotics to be locked from my grasp?"

[....]

When she looks at me and I look at her that going suicide myself.

[the exotics don't fit any in my database]

"So, there is hope After All."

[Want me to try to open it again Chris?]

"No, let's try again later. Right now, I just want to find a nice bed to sleep in." I just wanted a cool space gun. (sad hunter noises)

[does mister I'm depressed because he can't get a shiny exotic strap for his belt or does he want to try on the armor? Unless he's a bitch.]

She did not just cuss me out.

"One thing straight. FUCK YOU"

[Did I hit a nerve? Heh] Did she just smirk at me?

(Destiny quest noise)

|Quest received

Your low light level doesn't let you open exotic engrams. Do something about it. Stop being depressed, you're a hunter not a hive thrall.

[HA the traveler took pity on you] I'm not amused with her audacity

"I should melt you down for scraps Char"

[JERK] "BITCH"

(Meanwhile in another universe.)

"Achoo, oh come on not my pie, are you smirking at me Sammy?!"

"Why would I be smirking at you?"

"Maybe if someone wasn't being a bitch about his pants itching him."

"Jerk"

"Bitch"

(time to go back to a guardian stupidity I mean intelligence)

"Let's not argue about this, we have some wabbits to hunt. Put the armor on me Char"

[Aye, let me add some colors to match the aesthetics]

(Iron banner armor)

(ROI LDR 5001)

[Why do you want to use a sniper rifle in close quarters?] "It's a sniper rifle, do you want me to not shoot it?"

[Fair point coming from the one who has hands. ]

Well, I'll be damned, these are cute rabbits.[Those rabbits seem too cute to be here.]

"I agree with you char" I wonder do I get revived with information on how to use guns?

(Yes, I know all guardians have to learn how to fight. We do a little of tomfoolery)

"Man, this thing is heavy, okay slow my breathing and aim, check for wind. No wind. Aiming."

|click|

|BAM|

"Damn I hit its lower stomach. Char, equip the katana on me." I see the rabbits don't understand that sound

[doing that now]

Since Solar Breathing Heart and Embers dash and slash was too much for me. Let's simply use a slash for my first form. Solar Style charring cross slash

"Char time to hide, unless I need a revive."

[I'm going to record this.]

"Like a sister I never wanted."

Inhale. Exhale. Repeat.

I saw the rabbit I shot and began sprinting at it. The other rabbit saw me and jumped at me. I tried to Slice Upwards. Managing to kill it.

Another two came at me. I dodge the first but the second one sliced my lower stomach.

"Shit fucker. That hurts like a bitch."

I watched as the first rabbit tried grabbing my head. Wrong move for him, I used my left arm to grab its neck and hit the second rabbit by throwing the first one.

I threw an exploding burning knife at them. |BOOM| Leaving me with two rabbits. The one I shot and another standing there. Both are currently watching me.

"Parry this ya fuck" Blade Barrage.

Just Like that I threw two knives at them and made a nice explosion.

|BOOM|

This crystal looks kinda neat. Reminds me of legendary shards.

"Patch me up Doc."

[Patching you up now.] That feels better.

[I do wonder if these rabbit's foot horns and fur will be useful] "Nice we got loot."

Am I being delusional but I see 10 pairs of red eyes. "There group of rabbits up ahead."

[Do you mean a ruffle or a colony?] "Excuse me?"

[you heard me. Now time for me to go] Wow she disappears when I have questions. Fair enough I would too.

I wonder what else can I make into a solar version. I just don't really know. What could be used as a projectile and use it as a weapon. Oh yeah, it's all coming together.

Igniting the solar light between my hands as I connected them. Slowly pulling them apart in an almost perfect line, Jumping and doing a 360 spin and launching the fiery staff of flames at the ruffle of rabbits.

[Looks like a transmission is coming through.] "Let me hear it."

| Cayde-6 | " Well, well, hotshot, turning that arc storm into a solar shindig? I'm intrigued. Since you've piqued my interest, how about a little souvenir? Here, take a copy of my Ace. Can't just hand out the real deal, can I? Just remember, my explosions are still the most dazzling in the vanguard. Keep it up, and we might have a pyrotechnic showdown. Spoiler alert: I always win, kid."

(Author: this should work better when a character wants to break the veil between universes.)

[I like it.]

"LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO MY FIRST EXOTIC"

Exotic Hand Cannon: Ace of Hearts

Weapon Flavor Text: I hear you're stirring up the skies with that solar spectacle of yours. Thought you might want something to match the fireworks. Enjoy, Guardian. - Cayde-6

Description:

The Ace of Hearts is a Solar Exotic Hand Cannon, a sibling to the infamous Ace of Spades wielded by Cayde-6. Crafted with precision and a touch of Cayde's irreverent charm, this hand cannon delivers devastating solar rounds with each pull of the trigger. The weapon is adorned with ornate engravings of hearts, a playful nod to the cosmic carnival Cayde envisions whenever you unleash its fiery projectiles.

Intrinsic Perk - Fiery Gambit:

Precision kills with Ace of Hearts create solar explosions, damaging nearby enemies. Stacks up to five times, increasing the explosive potential with each precision kill.

Perks:

- Fast-draw HCS: Agile hand cannon sight. Faster handling, slight stability boost.

- Sure-Shot HCS: Snapshot sight. Excellent handling. Superb target acquisition.

- Crossfire HCS: Sharp hand cannon sight. Improved range, reduced stability.

Magazine Perk:

-High-Caliber Rounds: Shots from this weapon knock the target back farther. Slightly increases range.

Trait Perk - Solar Surge:

Kills with this weapon generate small healing orbs. Precision kills generate larger orbs.

Catalyst (empty): Increases magazine size and enhances the explosion radius of Fiery Gambit.

Ornament: "Cosmic Carnival" - An ornament that transforms the Ace of Hearts with vibrant solar hues, turning it into a dazzling spectacle, just like Cayde's imagined lightshow.
