Should I make my Asura with small ears or large ears and is Chance Lykos a good Asura name?

Asuran naming conventions are as such:
Asura do not use last names
Male asura have their names end with consonants
Female asura have their end with vowels

They also tend to be at the most 7 letters long and have some sort of sci-fi like feel to them like “Voxx”, “Zojja”, “Doola”,“Parnna”, etc.

If you just went by Lykos it would follow the lore.

Gate of Madness (US)
Chocodile – Asuran Engineer
Chocodial – Asuran Thief

If it’s not too late, I’d add a strange double consonant to the name: Lykkos.

I can’t wait until ANet releases the game promoted in the manifesto.
Until that, I’ll play GW2.

From the wiki:
An asura’s name usually consists of a short, sharp first name with one or two syllables. Feminine asura names typically end in -i or -a vowel sounds, and the masculine in a consonant sound. Any asura whose name does not follow these rules may risk ridicule during childhood. Both male and female Asuras typically have two of the same letter in a row somewhere in their name. Asura do not have a last name, instead opting to use job titles, a krewe name, or honorifics to differentiate themselves. Those who choose to take a last name of a style similar to humans are rare and are considered eccentrics, though their surname is often ignored by other asura.

And about the ears.. choose whatever you think it looks good for you.

Sometimes it’s necessary listening to the silence, it could tell more..

Larger ears are more attractive on males, while females usually have short stubby ones
There’s a little ‘quest’ in GW1 dealing with this fact

I believe that the ears on male Asura also sagged more as they aged (compare older Asura like Vekk, Gadd and Mamp in GW1 with most unnamed Asura NPCs, whose ears stuck out at 90 degrees), but ANet may have retconned this in GW2, as it’s just about impossible to create those horizontal ears on an Asura, and even progeny can have floppy ears.

Ear sagging? They have a pill for that.

Ad majorem gloriam! Ad infinitum!
