The Ship of Theseus is a real-life thought experiment on whether or not an object is the same object if all its components are replaced. The implications of this ongoing discussion have now been alluded to in-game by a character briefly mentioning The Ship of Theseus. In the ongoing sequel, “Destiny 2,” Bungie started to use the game’s plot and extra lore tabs to go more into the past lives of Guardians, opening the game’s narrative and fan discussions to new questions about identity. These new Guardians then forge new identities in their lives as Guardians. Upon their resurrection, these Guardians have no memory of who they were before their death, though they keep their base personality traits. The Traveler’s help is manifested as Guardians, people who have been revived by the Traveler and given powers to help combat enemy forces and keep humanity alive. In the distant future, humanity has collapsed and come close to extinction, fighting against extraterrestrial forces with the help of an entity known as the Traveler. When Bungie first released “Destiny” in 2014, the beloved company introduced fans to an expansive and lore-rich world.
