Guild Wars 2

2 years. 50+ posts. 20+ stories.

You will find no drama here, these are Charr. No love stories, no gossip, no crying, no political intrigue. Want to find out what a soldier is doing hiding in the Citadel? Go beat it out of him. Those are weaknesses, and there is no place for that in the Charr. Besides, the Primus Centurion won’t put up with it. Neither will I.

12th Blood Legion Battalion

The Primus Centurion:

Grew up in the fahrar never knowing his sire and little of his simba. Defended Dinky in a fight and became fast friends as cubs, fighting hard and playing hard. A few years before warband age nearly killed Dinky while firing an experimental gun he made from parts found around the war wagon prep deck, and was punished by Rytlock Brimstone himself, who saw it; the two have been trying to outdo each other with pranks ever since.

Engineer Grimpaw Grindgear:

Always punished for blowing holes in the fahrar wall just because he wanted to go out that way. Was transferred to the same fahrar as Grimcrotch and Dinky (when the ‘Terrible Two’ joined the Steelbane warband) because ‘if Primus Kurr can handle those two, he is the only chance we have against this cub.’ Used to gift dead rodents he killed to elders, unfortunately he used explosives so there wasn’t much meat, or anything, left.

Thief Rafka Firemane:

Smaller in stature like Legionnaire Dinky, was discovered by then Centurion Grimcrotch in his fahrar while on an educational visit by besting a larger male cub in a bare-paw fight; he never had a chance. Later was trained personally by the Centurion at a very young age with hatchets and axes.

Elemental Rathgaar Firemane:

Background is a bit of a mystery, but from what is known was kidnapped and raised by a flame legion shaman and taught the elemental ways. When old enough to know who he was, he killed his adopted flame legion sire and ran off to the Black Citadel. Was taken in by a gladium who taught him in the art of bare-paw and staff combat while continuing to hone his elemental skills.

Engineer Poppler Swizzlestix:

After winning a Snaff Prize for his Golem, became the first asura to win a second with his collaboration on the C.A.T. suit, a set of armor with a particle beam infused shield, with best friend Grimpaw Grindgear, a charr engineer**. Also co-created the particle beam hand cannon with his friend Grimpaw. Is the only creature in the history of Tyria to pull weapons on 19 charr soldiers all at once, and live.

Guardian ‘Lefty’ Ironpaw:

In and out of the fahrar, once killed a human and among his belongings found a cigar, which he took a liking to. Later was hired as a bouncer in Hero’s Canton canteen to keep him from drinking so much, but was fired for constantly breaking up fights by crushing jaws with one punch from his left paw, gaining him the nickname ‘Lefty’.

My own characters here, blended together with some of the personal story sidekicks such as Dinky and Clawspur, Elexus Shredskin, Fyon the Wraith, and of course Rytlock Brimstone along with Imperator Bangar Ruinbringer occasionally, make for some great drama-free action. The personality you hear and see around Black Citadel npc’s, silliness, absurdity, smart-aleckness, and just plain rump kicking tough Charr, is what you’ll find here.

And to back it up, many of the stories were inspired by some of the best heavy metal and rock ever made; you can also hear the very music that inspired those stories on the website and much more, so take a look around, it’s more than just a blog!
