Guild Wars 2

I felt I had to do a thread like this in forever so here it is.

If you don’t know what a Canthan is… there are GW 1 and 2 wiki threads on them.

A Canthan has an Asian appearance, so only characters you made with that look are allowed here. (I miss the race threads)

A hint: Elementalists and Guardians have default faces set to Canthan ethnicity. So remember that on character creation.

Lets show anet how much we love Cantha!

I posted Yumiko in her latest armor skin, the carapace set.

Hikari is the second image. The adorable daughter of Yumi.

Tomoko, Yumi’s lovely yet stuck up sister is the third image.

My Necromancer, unrelated to them, Isamu Senda is the fourth image.

Why females only

Why females only

They are cute and sexy? Yet I haven’t seen many good males at all.
Go ahead post males too if you can make one. I was only successful with my male necro.

I have Yuun zu Durheim , a male necromancer . Descended from zhe Durheim kurzick family . They were poets, singers, worshiped grenth and other things that fit my appearance and story choices perfectly. I even told logan im from cantha when he asked me ..

..sry no ss as im not able to play atm

Funny you should ask! My cheerful just-plain-folks necromancer is of Canthan descent. Her family is fully Krytan assimilated with some nods to the past in the form of family heirlooms (a jade dragon staff) and a general store that among other things sells custom tea blends.

Here she is with her original hair, how it grew out, and as a bonus her parents (designed in character creator, never actually made).

Here are my guys.

My Canthan toon?

My Rit, Astral Projections. ^^

With a much better halo than the crappy one they made for this game, I might add.

Meanwhile, back in time…

While we are at the Topic of GW 1 canthans, my old rit, I Love To Bind You is in this image.

I still want to see GW 2 ones though as well.

How about some real canthan while we are at it

Old shot of my mesmer, last time the Zephyrites came around.

my canthan gang. got a pic with OP as well

forgot to show my ranger some love

Every day still.

Ah Cantha. How I do hope we can go back there eventually…
Anyone else find it odd how the Canthan District in Divinity’s Reach was supposedly removed because they didn’t want to possibly offend people… and yet, the Kodan, to me still has a very far eastern feel to them…

My gripes with the stupidity of political correctness aside…

Here are a couple of my characters from the Shinjo family, who migrated north from Cantha a /long/ while ago… like, back before Guild Wars 1. As such, neither of them have ever actually been to Cantha.

First is Naomi. A girl displaced over 250 years out of time. She’s actually the grand daughter of the Shinjo family Patriarch that moved his family from Cantha in the first place! How and why she returned to Tyria now, even she doesn’t know… The Mists are funny that way…

Second is Kyoshi. Much more ‘mundane’ then his long lost cousin, Kyoshi was born in Krytia, and he wields his ancestral two-handed sword as a guardian…

Here’s hoping for more unkempt-ish hairstyles in the future.

Wasn’t really going for a Canthan appearance, but it sure turned out that way.

Yukie Utsumi
Born and raised in Divinity’s Reach, she is a descendant of Canthan nobles that were stranded in Tyria by the rising of Orr. She is a natural leader, and is very protective of her family and friends. As a ranger, her main weapon is the longbow. She is also never without her reliable companions, Haruka (jungle stalker) and Mitsuko (forest spider).

No background stories, really, I just suck at writing.

My thief, Reyna

Sorry for the toaster graphics quality.

I have a back story but it doesnt fit canon GW lore so meh.

Here’s mine. Too bad fans went out of style as weapons.

Here’s my Canthan character, keeping the Assassin profession alive in Tyria.

I’m getting Akatsuki vibes.

This is Hayato. He’s a bard.

Here’s my mesmer; Chihaya Horikita

She and her parents fled Cantha when she was really young and ended up in DR. During her childhood she grew up in a strict environment which, despite her parent’s wishes, is what ultimately led to her becoming an acolyte of Lyssa, and an adventurer. As a Magister of the Durmond Priory, she often heads up archeological digs at various ruins throughout Tyria, with recent digs happening in the Silverwastes. She also likes to spend her quiet time reading books and/or napping (cuz she can!)

My duo of Luxon-descended Krytans of Canthan blood here:
I largely derive their look from faces of the Mongolian steppes.
Boerte Khenbish, and my engi, Temujiin Ganbaatar in outfits and actual gear.

And some gw1 flavour.. a Luxon and my beloved ritualist Shi Xun, he of the whimsical wry humour and attunement with spirits.

Not sure if this thread is still going, but this is Sayuri Ishimoto – direct descendant of Imperial nobles who managed to escape Canthan isolationism and make it past Risen-infested Orr to the Tarnished Coast (or so I would like to think!). Spent a lot of transmutation charges getting this style sorted. She certainly doesn’t mind being loud and proud about her heritage through what she wears.

Liking the posts so far!
