[b]NOTE: This is an entirely theoretical post, before some of you call it OP and demand I nerf it, just know I haven't even posted how much damage any of the abilities do due to this posts conceptual nature.[/b]
This is an idea for the creation of a Fallen themed class for our Guardians. The class is only selectable if you choose your Race as Eliksni (Fallen), while also being the only available class to Eliksni.
I was thinking the name of the new class would be either Risen, or Redeemed. (Whereas the enemy Eliksni's are still known as Fallen)
Their class items would be called Capes. They'd be stylistic similar to Hunter cloaks, but minus the hood. Due to Eliksni having four arms, their extra arms will be part of their hit box, unless they have the Docked perk (see below) equipped. To account for their larger hit box, they will have slightly more base health.

Can there be a Light infused Vex and Cabal class as well to round things out? Since these fallen subclasses are sort of like mirrors to the Hunter subclasses then the Vex could be inspired by Warlocks and Cabal by Titans. Maybe Osiris learns how to reprogram a group of Vex and replace the Darkness in them with consciousness and light, creating a new race/class of Reborn Vex. There could be a Solar subclass that was a mix of Sunsinger and Hobgoblin abilities, another that was a mix of Voidwalkers and Minotaurs, and then a Stormcaller/Harpy combo. And maybe a faction of Cabal goes AWOL and stops fighting for the Empire after the events of Taken King, the Rebel Cabal could start manifesting light powers in their own attempt to survive the Darkness without the aid of their army. The supers would go something like a Phalanx/Defender hybrid for Void, a Colossus/Sunbreaker combo for Solar, and a Psion/Striker for the arc.
