An Asura approacheth
It was said that we never saw said asura before. It is a new character, so it can’t be Shodd :/
There are not many asura npcs that I like, and some of the ones that I do are already dead. I really hope that this new character is interesting, bold, funny and not as annoying as most of the asura npcs. I love Braham, Kas, Jory and Rox, and I have high hopes for this new asura that will be introduced.

RIP Tonn.
Also I hope it’s a cute female with new awesome armor.

the durmand’s main base is in lornar’s pass and their current leader is Gixx, but he is already established.. supposedly scarlet mingled with the inquest, and unlike the other alliances, i don’t think she can easily outsmart them.. asurans were driven to the surface by primordus, i wouldn’t be surprised if there was an asuran working along scarlet as a means to an end.. a somewhat malevolent eir stegalkin type, if you will.. but less maniacal than scarlet
I bet it is a male Asura. After all, in my opinion, I would like to see the group (Rox, Braham, Marjory, and Kasmeer) be balanced out in a gender way because right now, women rule. Not that it’s a bad thing.

Agreed. Having Braham as the only dude in the group seems like it’d be odd. I don’t know if Braham himself would mind, though
RIP Tonn.
Also I hope it’s a cute female with new awesome armor.
And I hope that said armor is eventually available for us. I know my asura wouldn’t mind
If it is male, I hope that he is funny and crazy for explosives, like Tonn. I really liked Tonn.

As group is building up to be representative of each race and most classes, and for all intent purposes a next generation edge of destiny. the races reps are of opposite gender, and likely no duplicate races in final team (one of humans will.. leave) so male asura added and male sylvari (canach is guess on another thread)
Wait, wait . . . there’s an asura taking part? Hold on, I need to adjust the sights on my longbow about three feet shorter. You know, to take care of imminent threats to our lovely new companion.
RIP Tonn.

Violent and deranged Asura that are obsessed with blowing things up are my favorite.
They should also give him a signature weapon that’s a gun bigger than himself.
And yes, need more Male characters. :P

I just said female so I might get a really neat new armor set that is feminine maybe, but yeah, it’s probably male and it’s a good idea for him to be male.

Males get a lot of feminine armor too though with all the flowing frilly skirts we get. :O
So that shouldn’t be the determining factor. XD

I came across a note somewhere saying that an Asura was going to be introduced in the upcoming “Origins of madness” event.
It has me praying for the return of an already introduced Asura from the Asuran personal story quests. His name is Shodd. What can be said about Shodd? Nothing too specific, no singular trait which raises him above the rest. Except perhaps that going along with his humblest suggestions almost turns your character into an overlord that out-inquests the inquest.
One of my 3 most favored characters in the game, Shodd personifies the sheer audacity of science. The unrelenting potential that can amount to, well, anything. Few aspects represent the prospect of science as well as second guessing can. Sure, bizzare contraptions can pull one out of the most dire of living story events, but staring down at that oh so innocent face of Shodd you are left wondering what you contemplate unleashing – because with Shodd by your side, you’ll fly higher then the flames left in your wake.
Few are the dreamed up characters who manage to portray a passive double edged sword.
Braham portrays quite well the confused desire to do good, or failing that, awesome. Marjory a cynical eye on those she stands besides as well as those she confronts. Kasmee is endearing in ways that are hard for me to pin down, aside from her admissions of how she garbs herself when heading into battle – and I’m sure someone can come up with a reason why Rox is awesome.
Should an Asura step forth? Well, if not Shodd, then I pray for one who steps boldly into the fore. Hardly discernable from the blinding bright energy cores erupting into life behind him as he excitedly cries out, with no reference point to moral or practical goals:
“FOR SCIENCE!”
It’s just a token Asura to make sure that the new LS Destiny’s edge has a full deck of races. Although right now there are two humans and no Sylvari, so that will have to be addressed. Maybe Kasmeer is a Sylvari spy in disguise, or she’ll be killed off and replaced by a heel-face-turn Scarlet, who knows?
Just curious- why do people seem to think that something will happen to Kasmeer?
meh- not a great fan of Asura’s in general but I would like it if Canach came back- I have always rather liked him

She scratched herself in the Tower and began acting a little . . . off.

They have said there are “plans” for Canach. And I’d like him back too.

ahh thanks I missed that particular update- was off doing other things- now of course I am sorry and I like Kasmeer as the kind of perfect dumb blonde caricature, which she is not- I take it as a mask she wears :p

It’s somewhat obvious she is not nearly a dumb blonde airhead. She has hidden depths, and some cunning to her. After all, she is a mesmer.
yea I hope that Canach returns and joins them. Our generation of Destiny’s Edge will be complete
I hope it’s a male asura. I can’t stand cute, and cuddly toddler things, in this game anymore. It’s so ridiculous. There’s also already enough females anyway, such as Marjory, Kasmeer, Scarlet, Rox.. The only redeeming character is Braham, and he might as well be a big dumb ogre. GW2 feels so immature right now, and it desperately needs more mature content, with less humor.

This is just my speculation, but the Asura will probably be male, however I think it is unlikely that he is an older, more mature and serious Asura. I think it’s more likely that he is similar in maturity to the other “new destiny’s edge” members,so potentially young adult, impulsive, maybe a little insane (he’s an Asura after all) and probably a medium armored class (my guess). I’m thinking an engineer or something like that.
As a younger Asura I think that they will focus on the humor, and not really a serious nature say.

“the Asuran character has never appeared before in the story and is a ‘very different sort of person.’”
here comes jar jar binks of guildwars, rest in pieces gw2
a violent asura obsessed with blowing up thing? dangerous nonetheleast and likely inquest…
Sounds like they will add goblin as a playable race this year (if the invention doesnt explode it doesnt work)
later on they will add a 6th member to the team it will be a bard and his name will be Rick Ashley or Justin Bieber he will go to the lair of primordius and start singing never gunna give you up effectively doing 100000000000000 sonic damage effectively killing primordius and terminating all life in the 100000000000 kilometer of Tyria as we know it.

Yes!

It better be a grumpy Asuran genius level inventor, every living story character to date is unlikable or an idiot. Also the Destiny’s Edge 2.0 is already packed with female power another male is needed to level the field slightly.
Judging by what the writing team has given us so far I am not optimistic. It will be likely a ditzy female asuran magic user and her comic relief golem companion.
Second guess:
Some labtube warrior progeny from Vekk’s DNA with Sawtooth and The FixerUpper as weapons of choice.
You are onto something, a descendant of Vekk is the type of character absolutely everyone would instantly fall in love with and become the favorite of Destiny’s Edge 2.0.
Unfortunately that would be too good for the living story, we are more likely to get a descendant of Oggy.

The new Asura is a female golemancer, who rides a golem, is also a ward of Zojja. This is interesting to me, but I’m very surprised that the new Asura is female. (I remember a while ago some people were complaining about the LS characters being primarily female which makes me wonder a bit… It did seem like a good place for a Vekk like character that people would love) instead we are getting a “scarlet obsessed” golemancer?
I don’t know. I know I’ll love her, I love all Asura, and as a female Asura main + 5 female Asura alt player, I’ll totally connect with her, but I would have loved to see a new Tonn, and not another Zojja.
And all who stood by and did nothing, who are they to criticize the sacrifices of others?
Our blood has bought their lives.
so what is a golemancer? an elementalist or an engineer? or asura equivelant of a car mechanic? Or a foreshadow of a new expansion class (golem pet handler, with flavour for each race)

Golemancers are those who specialize in making golems. There are a LOT of Asura golemancers and have been since they first were introduced in GW1. your analogy of the “asura equivalent of a car mechanic” is most accurate, though they would be a heavily trained and skilled “mechanic” with exceptional skills
It’s a female asura named Taimi. Something to do with Zojja and an obsession with Scarlet. You know, cause the Living Story was really lacking in female heroes.

Was my thoughts exactly.
New asura & her golem reminds me & girlfriend of Bioshock’s Little Sister & their Big Daddy
creepy new asuran, is creepy
Love the new Asura. Want more background on her though.
You can find her just north of Winterthaw waypoint. She’s actually a tiny asura model on top of a golem which was interesting. I laughed at her initial dialogue “it wasn’t me” when talking to her. I got the impression she is mischievous or a little reckless and gets scolded for it (her other dialogue is “Got candy” and “I’m behaving” and given her size I’m guessing she’s not an adult). I can’t be certain, but I don’t think they gave her a new armor model.
First impressions, I like her so far, she’s an entertaining asuran character.
Marjory was standing nearby (maybe the others are there too?) talking about Kasmeer needing me time. They are certainly teasing players with the possibility she will die now, I wouldn’t be surprised if that line was added in response to the speculation.
Also unusual was the NPC portrait for her seems to use art work and not her model’s face.

I too thought of the little sister – big daddy combo. The big bow on the hair and standing on the golem do it….I wonder what the golem is called. If its “mr bubbles” or somesuch, we know for sure.
KNEEL BEFORE SHOD!

Anet will not add a “goblin” race. WoW already has one, Anet will avoid it. Anet may however add a race similar to goblins, but it will not be called goblin. There is a reason why GW2 doesn’t have elves or dwarves or gnomes. Well, they kind of have dwarves, but not much.
if you didnt catch my joke i was just refering that an asura who likes to blow things up is practicaly a world of warcraft goblin :P
as for the new character….

What the hell anet! why can SHE actualy mount a golem and i cant! ive made my asura solely for the purpose of riding a golem let me ride my golem already as a new racial class like idk golemancer. Why not actualy add racial class to the game? Like

sadly the new asuran is actually the highlight of this patch
voice actor and dialogue was well done, neat golem.. i don’t really agree with the character style, but awhwell

I dont mean it as a ridable mech but to ride one piggyback style the same way that character does. The same way zojja does in the artwork.

Absolutetly love her dialogs in Lions Arch. Obviously, instance in LA is one of the best things this patch could provide. Lots of back story, with real dialogs!
