Blank Slate fun facts

I have posted 13 chapters of Blank Slate. In this post, I'll answer any questions you readers have about the story. I will also put a few fun facts below about what I've posted so far. Ask away. Fun Facts: 1. My idea for Keis' personality was to demonstrate how Exos' minds were negatively affected by the mind wipes. Banshee-44 was our only in-game example of this, and I used Keis to show that it could be a severe issue. 2. Salem's name was based off of the town in the United States called Salem. In the history of Salem, there was a "witch hunt." Historically, it is called "The Salem Witch Hunts." Salem is a Hunter. Because of this, his name sort of means "Witch Hunter." 3. Salem's nickname for Keis is KS. This is a nod to the first team I played the King's Fall Raid with. They only spoke Spanish (and the name Seth isn't a normal word for them), so they called me KS. They were a great group, and the first group I ever did a Raid with after getting a microphone. 4. Keis' appearance is based off of the appearance of my Warlock profile. Nothing special there. I chose the Hezen Lords armor set because of his small internal conflict of déjà vu with the Vex. It's sort of irony. I chose the God of War armor shader because it would have been too stereotypical to use the Chatterwhite shader, and God of War was decent. 5. Keis' vision/memory at the beginning of chapter 2 is a major point for me. I used the Vex as the enemy he was fighting in his past life, because Exos were created to better explore Vex confluxes. At the end of the Golden Age, the Vex began attacking, and Exos were used to combat them. But they were constantly losing, and all the battles took their toll. Keis had his mind wiped 51 times because of all the battles he had been in (causing a lot of trauma). His mind was ruined by the mind wipes on top of the flashes of traumatic memory. This is why Keis gets déjà vu around the Vex. In the memory, I only hinted at the Vex, by mentioning white in the sea. 6. I'm sorry for only having a small amount of characters at the moment. Don't worry, there will be more. 7. Keis was revived about 300 years before "present day" gameplay (VoG, Dark Below, House of Wolves, etc.). If you read my Timeline ( https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/225387318/0/0 ), you can see the timeline I improvised. That will tell you when I guessed Twilight Gap and other events happened. 8. I only had 3 reasons for making Chapter 6. 1) I didn't want to rush straight into the Twilight Gap chapters. 2) It established Keis' déjà vu around the Vex. 3) it shows how he got his Hezen Lord armor. 9. Chapter 13 is build up for chapter 15. 10. Chapter 14 is going to introduce a new character. It also introduces the Cabal. Other than that, it's random and not connected to any greater plot. 11. We don't know about any Titan Vanguards other than Zavala, which is why the Titan before Zavala is left as a mystery. The only known Warlock Vanguard before Ikora was Osiris, but that was a long time ago. That is why the Warlock Vanguard is a mystery. The only known Hunter Vanguard before Cayde was Andal Brask, who was the Vanguard right before Cayde. We don't know what he looked like. We don't know who the Shipwright was before Amanda. Or the Guardian Outfitter before Eva Levante. 12. Salem does internally argue with himself. The isolated scouting missions are starting to affect him... __________________________________________ Link to Blank Slate Chapter 14 https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/225706263/0/0 Blank Slate Table of Contents https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/225386550/0/0
