Guild Wars 2

went through some HoT pictures and saw this…

i know its probably just the light
but he really looks like a black skinned man on that picture

It’s the straight red hair. Totally makes him look black. :P

…Wasn’t he always black? o.o

He looked pretty white (just with some tan, like his mom) anytime I saw him.

“Borje the Sun Chaser is Braham’s father and husband of Eir Stegalkin. He is described as having dark skin and was once a legendary hero. He arrived at Cragstead with Braham when his son was just a baby, and lived there the rest of his life until he passed away in roughly 1316 AE. On his deathbed, Borje forbade any message to Eir of his death, so that she would not stray from making her legend.”

do you mean black as in african descent, or its equivalent in Tyria? or do you mean dark skinned.

he as always been dark skinned, in comparison to marjorie and kasmeer. He may be of african tyria descent, but he may not. Just like the real world, there are many people of various cultures/regions who can be dark skinned.

dark europeans
dark indians
dark asians

i just never noticed how much of a dark skin he has until seeing this screenshot^^

Thanks for the info. I’d honestly never read about Braham’s father, so that’s pretty neat to know.

I guess he has always had a light brown skin. Kind of interesting. I hadn’t noticed that before.

His left arm looks really strange in that picture.

Artistic license. ^^

Indeed, he’s always been brown. Norn come in just as many colors as humans, which hints that they weren’t always contained to the Shiverpeaks. It seems they condensed there at one point, like how the tengu have squeezed into the Dominion of Winds.

Maybe he got a sun tan? How to say this… People with darker complexions can sometimes look like another race. For example, I have a cousin who is half white, with more of an olive complexion, and she gets very dark in the summer, almost looking African American. So Braham having a light skinned mother and dark skinned father, would probably look black after lots of time in the sun.

Maybe he is using a new Guardian specialization skill, Stand in Shadows and Look Darker From Less Light on You.

“His skin stood out starkly against his father’s darker tone. He’d been told he was a mix of light and dark, his mother having had snowy skin and his father with his brown bear coloring. "

Well, how would you look after all that time in the desert?

He looks white and gold to me.

Oh wait, that’s the girl in front. These visual illusions are very confusing.
