Physical Description: When people see Daiex, they have two initial reactions. One being 'wow, he's beautiful' and 'wow, he looks mean'. Daiex takes pride in his effeminate features. He has high, sharp cheekbones and a well-defined facial structure. His body, as is natural for Hunters, is lithe in build with hard, lean muscles. Many would be mistaken in thinking his hair is black in color. In certain lighting, one can see it is actually a rather dark shade of blue. His skin is a medium-light shade of gray and his eyes glow and brilliant azure. He has no body modifications of any kind as he feels it would only taint his superior looks.

Arrogant
Daiex is, without a doubt, arrogant as hell. There's literally nothing anyone can say or so to wound his ego or pride. In his mind, he is the best of the best and everyone else just scrambles to try and get on his level. People do not intimidate him at all. He's too wrapped up in himself to feel any lesser or fear of another.

Sass Master
Every other word out of his mouth is something snarky. It's almost as if he doesn't know how to hold a conversation without mouthing off in some manner. Usually, his older brother, Malakai, takes the brunt of the sass. The only ones he'll watch his words around are the Vanguards and other high ranking Guardians, such as Lord Shaxx, Lord Saladin, and The Speaker, and even then he's only semi-respectful. That's really only out of self-preservation that he's even that polite.

Dick
This is a no-brainer. Daiex is an asshole through-and-through. He's your stereotypical rich elite snob. Granted, he doesn't insult someone for being poor, he insults everyone for being 'not as good as him'. Even his family has to deal with his dickish nature. Though, eighty-three years of his attitude certainly made them immune to his general prickly personality.

Materialistic
He's all about the high life and wealth. He does nothing for free. It was a surprise that Daiex even served in the military at all, given his selfish personality. If anyone wants anything from him, they better be ready to pay him. It's easy to tell he's materialistic just by looking at him, as he usually only dresses in the finest of armors and is adorned with brilliant shaders and ornaments.

Vain
Daiex is, quite obviously, vain. He's a narcissist through-and-through. This comes as a surprise to exactly no one after they're around him for more than ten seconds. The Jaurian grates on just about everyone's nerves with the way he is full of himself, but that doesn't bother him at all. In fact, he seems to almost enjoy frustrating others because then they're thinking about him, even if it's negatively. In his mind, they should always be thinking about him.

Protective
This one is a bit surprising, given how self-absorbed Daiex is, but he's quite protective of his siblings. He likes to say it's because they share his blood, and if anyone is disrespecting them, then they're disrespecting him by extension. Nobody is allowed to talk smack or even look at his siblings the wrong way. That'd go for his friends, if he thought anyone was good enough to be counted as such.

Daiex, like most Guardians, cannot remember his life before his resurrection. He was risen near the Reef and remained there for the first few months of being a Guardian before he heard of The City. The intrigue surrounding the home base of the Guardians piqued his interest. He hitched a ride to The City and took in the sites. He was rather underwhelmed, quite honestly. Then again, nothing short of a metropolis with a beach-front view would wow the man.

He began training under the tutelage of Cayde-6 in the ways of the Hunter. He took to the Arcblade class like a fish to water. Through intense practice in the Crucible, Strikes, and running smaller missions during the Taken War, he managed to learn the skills of the Gunslinger and Nightstalker. Still, he preferred his blades and sneaking up on his prey rather than the more ostentatious classes.

One day, while on a strike, he was assigned to a fireteam with a senior awoken Titan by the name of Valentina Masaru and another awoken hunter recruit by the name of Malakai. The Titan all but adopted the two hunters as her pseudo-little brothers. Given that he couldn't remember his own last name, he took hers as his own, only solidifying the new family of his. They were tasked with tracking down and eliminating a high-level target in the Black Garden. He learned that Valentina had a penchant for charging every enemy and punching rather than using her gun while Malakai preferred to use his solar class.

Over the years and through the wars, he grew closer to them, snarking and running missions or just going through the Crucible. He became acquainted with Valentina's usual team, a human hunter named, ironically enough, Hunter, and an exo warlock by the name of Zehuti-10. The five, along with Hunter's pseudo-sister, a Titan named Dakota, have bonded and swore to aid the Vanguard and the City in whatever way possible (with only mild complaining and sass from Daiex).
