Guild Wars 2

It’s hard being an asura female. We struggle to maintain our ladylike side and most bookah think we are men. Skirts exist only on winter apparel.

But Moto – you are the poster child for confusion. Your name indicates you are female, but by the alchemy, it would take a full committee of asuran gender experts to ascertain the truth of your boy/ girl indeterminism!

Moto is a male based on his hair/facial structure. Additionally, he was probably made fun of during his youth as my Asura, Esplen, probably would have been.

Esplen is a female name when looking at it from a human standpoint, but from an Asura standpoint, it is more male than female.

I haven’t seen a male Asura with more than 1 syllable to his name, except Oggy.

He also has small ears, which must be why he has such a feminine name. We all know that real Asura men have big floppy ears, it’s a sign of sexual prowess.

Moto is male with a female name.

Intellectual prowess (But nothing is sexier than a brilliant mind!)

Have you ever thought that Moto likes it that way?

Mif.3471:

I believe the name is a reference to Shigeru Miyamoto, as he controls the box that enters you in to the retro 8-bit themed jumping puzzle.

Is that why his eyes are like that?

-dodges barrage of rotten produce-

Moto actually reminds me of something out of the old Dr. Seuss cartoons.

How have we forgotten Kudu so soon??

Male or female, that is one extremely creepy asura that will surely haunt my dreams from now on.

I`m sure its against peacekeeper sub-laws, like the offense of being too tall.

Moto is like the warcraft goblin of asura.

Hello Moto… well they did say they were working on expanding the character creation options… look HD Moto

i really wish his face was available to players :/ i love it

The screenshots of Moto made me frown…

Regardless of how he was undeniably made fun of during his childhood, his invention certainly delivers.
I wouldn’t mind working with him on a krewe.

I swear Moto kind of stole my idea

Moto, clearly you need to l2fem. Buy a copy of Asuran Cosmo, and cease this relentless offense.

/sarcasm.

But the question of the hour is: Who cares what bookah’s think about asuran women?

I am more offended they can’t tell Moto is male… he has an old man’s voice

Moto also likes to dress up like a princess.

Moto’s a nod to Miyamoto, so I’m not sure if this confusion about his gender is serous...

No matter what gender Moto has, he/she/it reminds me of a monchichi. Those have been very popular at least in my country during the 80ies and so I think his look fits this retro-style pretty well. (Could be wrong of course)

moto looks and sounds like a male. What makes you think he is female?

Gizmo.9178:

His hobbies.

^ That’s Princess Miya. (Her name was discovered after someone translated the titles on the books found in the stores in the SAB. Apparently, one of them reads “Princess Miya is not Moto”.)

Then again, it could just be propaganda put into the SAB by Moto to mislead his critics.

I think it was translated to say “Princess Miya is not Moto in a wig and dress” which just seems pretty specific and sounds more like a cover-up.

But I think you’re right, it’s probably propaganda to mislead us!

It is. Hence “Princess Miya” and “Moto” … Miyamoto… I know what you are all thinking: “By the ETERNAL ALCHEMY!”
