Far right, behind that weird-looking charr that people are calling Rox.

If that isn’t Braham, I’ll eat my own socks.
Which means that charr is probably Rox.

Its definitely Braham.

Not sure about it being Rox, though. If it is, pretty much every facial feature is off.

that looks like Braham but htat isn’t Rhox

That’s very clearly Rox just a different artist.

That was concept art for Rox most likely done before her in-game appearance was finalized. It makes sense that it looks different. Braham looked very different in his concept art as well.

But she has a finalized appearance now, so current art should reflect her in-game look accurately. Braham’s does, looking at the QJ art that looks just like Braham. But Rox’s (if that is indeed supposed to be Rox) is pretty different. Which is strange.

And the devourer short bow on her back isn’t a dead give away?

It is definitely Rox – you can see her unique devourer-like shortbow on her back. While the horns look slightly off, none of the old female charr horns are forward facing.

edit: ninja :L

Pretty sure it’s not Rox. Doesn’t have the normal neck a Charr has, and her face is all… human?

I can see some parts where it looks like Rox, but it more looks like a hybrid between Rox and a human.

You shouldn’t read(see?) too much meaning into the image. Half the loading screen art for the game’s maps look nothing like the actual area. The artstyle favoured by the artists doesn’t help when it comes to details either.

No more Trahearne. I’m still bitter about him stealing my thunder half-way through the game. “Who is this plant creature and why is my personal story all of a sudden about him?!”

Thank you!

Bro’ham is my favorite character after Tybalt!

That is the worst portrayal of Rox I’ve ever seen and it is an insult to her character. As noted by others, it looks like a human but midway through transforming into a werewolf, and the horns are totally different and she lost her ears somewhere.
It’s disgusting. Who approved that image to be in-game for a loading screen? It is just a horrible representation of Rox even with the “art style” justification for portraying her differently. Art style doesn’t mean she gets new horns, a new face and loses her ears; i.e. barely even charr.

They have been around in their home instances. You can visit them. They even have had a few bits of spoken dialog.

OMG people! It’s Rox!!! We even have a dev saying Rox is coming! Braham is there beside her and you can identify several features of Rox regardless of the shape of her head! Why is this even a discussion? It’s concept art, not a screen shot! It doesn’t have to look exactly like her.

We could have spent a couple weeks discussing why Rox was involved in Kryta. Instead we have circular discussions about the anatomy of concept art when anyone really paying attention could tell it was Rox.

Oh and Kasmeer and Marjory are lementing currently having no work.

This I did not know! Time to pay another visit to the Dead End tavern.

Any hopes to see Braham and Rox weapons in the gemstore available again for those who missed them? :-\

Braham’s going to be all like ‘hmm, looks like I started a fashion trend’ when he meets all the heavy armor characters…

On topic though, it will be nice to meet them both again, time to form a new hero group to go head-to-head with Kralkatorrik… roll on the Brox tag team! Oh well, maybe caught up a bit just there…

Rox I agree, Braham he was absent during the dragon bash but you can go visit him since the bazaar started (and you get to see a conversation that made me feel bad for him).

It wouldn’t make much sense for them to appear for Dragon Bash because Braham had to help rebuild Cragstead and Rox is jumping through all of Rytlock’s hoops to join his warband. They’ve been pretty busy unlike Destiny’s Edge. Logan and his boring deskwork.

I bet they’re there as honored guests for their work in F&F.

Tawa.3180:

Maybe Scarlet got them invites so that she can take out her major opponents in one event, them and us. They did thwart Scarlet’s Molten Alliance, afterall.

Or maybe Roxx = charr reprsentative

Braham = Norn representative

Tawa.3180:

That would make sense. I wonder if Eir will be there too. I really want to see Braham and Eir becoming closer to each other. Last time I spoke to Braham, he said Eir was trying to talk to him (she sent him a letter or something) but he didn’t want to talk to her. It seems that she is only good enough for him to use her name, but for nothing else. I mean, he is Braham Eirson, but he could have picked for himself his beloved father’s name instead and be Braham Borjesson, but noooo, he picked the dragon hunter that he barely knew, probably because of glory and stuff, and now he refuses to talk to her. Eir deserves better, IMO.

I’m also hoping for Rytlock to be there and to be in good terms with Eir despite the fact that she never told him she had a son. I mean, he thought Braham was lying and “underestimating his relationship with Eir”, so I don’t think he would be happy to know that the boy was telling the truth and Eir was the one hiding her personal life from him. Also, it would be a bonus if Rox was by Rytlock’s side, sporting her new surname. I really hope that he accepted her in the Stone warband already.

Maybe there’s some sort of system norns have when they choose between having their mother or father’s name for their surname? Though the most obvious answer on why he’s Eirsson instead of Borjesson because Anet wanted to make it very obvious he’s her son instead of letting us put on our tinfoil hats. Personally, would have preferred the other style of norn names and have him be named Braham Cragwolf or Wolfshield but he probably has to make a bigger name for himself and punch more Dredge Legion.

I’m on the side that’s glad Braham is staying away from Eir. It shows that he’s learned to count more on himself ( and us random heroes ) instead of running to Destiny’s Edge for help. It feels like Eir’s turnaround after he saved the neighboring settlement is in bad taste after she and Knut were all “Nope, we’re too busy over here.” A simple congratulations toast would have been better instead of asking to talk. Nothing good ever happens when your mom sends you a letter asking to just ‘talk.’ Especially when your mom never even mentioned you to her dragonslaying friends.

Those two again? I almost forgot them. Why are they coming?

Gandarel.5091:

I’m not sure if they’re high enough on the totem pole for that.

Nilkemia.8507:

And why is there no Asura, or Sylvari, either?

The asura and sylvari will probably show up later. I bet they both will be male since our current party has been opposite of Destiny’s Edge so far.

And then Zojja will have a nephew she forgot to mention until now, and the sylvari will probably have trained under Caithe or Trehearne.

And Tybalt will return from the dead and reveal that Rox is his secret neice.

And then Zhaitan’s floating head appears and shoots undead lasers at them.

that… is not a good representation of a Charr… like.. at all.

DarksunG.9537:

Its very pretty art on its own merit, though. But yeah, doesn’t look like a charr.

I like where this is going. Make it so.

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this, but can I please get a Frostbite Mini? I have gems in my account on hand for such a purchase. If not, I will find them somewhere

Alright! Charrs will be getting a new model redesign!! woohooo!
....I'm kidding sheesh >_>.

They’d need to add 2 more professions for them to have nothing in common with DE.

I love how Rox is the epitome of controversy in GW2 aesthetics. First it’s her eyes and now it’s her concept art. No wonder girls have self-image problems.

Can anyone remind me where Canach is?

I believe you are dead-on OP, that is indeed Braham, and that is indeed Rox.

Not sure if the rest understand what concept art is, but I hope they learn one day!

Shiren.9532:

Can anyone remind me where Canach is?

Rotting in an invisible jail next to Mai.

Probably using one of Evon’s total makeover kits… again.

I wonder if we will ever hear of him again. I was pretty disappointed that Kiel didn’t notice his radical change. I mean, she could have said something like “Canach? Is that really you? What the hell happened to you?”. Anything.
Since nothing about his radical change was mentioned in game, I’m assuming that ANet changed his appearance because evil people must be ugly, it seems, and then hoped that we wouldn’t notice.
Like if it wasn’t enough to change Tybalt’s mane along the storyline.
