It is not "Asurans" it is "Asura".
Yes “asuran” should only be used to refer to something created by the aura. Ex: “Asuran architecture is amazing!” Whereas multiple asura would still be “asura.” ie. “Those three asura might blow up half of the city with they way they experiment.”

Or belonging to, or … We call those words adjectives
Rather that sticky it make it a random dialogue in Rata Sum
All in all, be glad this is Tyria and not Middle-earth.
Wait, why should I be glad this is Tyria and not Middle Earth? I’m confused.

Because the “common populace” can’t seem to wrap their heads around the fact that it is many Maiar but one Maia (and Noldo, Sinda, …). And that is the easy part

lol thanks, admittedly I was drawing a blank when typing this… Thank all those years of public school english :/
So do I refer to myself as an Asura Elementalist or an Asuran Elemenetalist?
Ive seen NPC dialogue go both ways in a variety of things
For me both work i just can’t stand when people use asuran as a singular.
Ex. I made an asuran today! The animations for the asuran are awesome! (that hurt to type lol)
I’ll say i made an asuran ranger or asura ranger. Both work for me.

I’m not a linguist but I’d say the first – you are an Asura who is an Elementalist. In the second case you’d be an Elementalist who is trying to make an important distinction regarding his race.
All the kids in the Black Lion market say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh.
Walk like an Asuranian.
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”
The problem with language is that rules are always broken somewhere.

Don’t try to correct an Asura on the use of the name of their race. It’s too complicated for a bookah to understand.
I making an asuran right now.
