Guild Wars 2

In a world where charr wear Balthazar Regalia, anything can happen.

Then again, perhaps these publicly atypical charr are members of a rising counterculture movement, rejecting the strict and stodgy social norms of established charr society and embracing the less restrictive values and belief systems of the other Tyrian races; human values, in particular. The shock value of venerating the human gods and sporting the associated paraphernalia is, of course, no small part of the appeal, but it goes much deeper. Charr society has settled into predictable — and boring — patterns in the past 250 years, and young charr, being more and more exposed to outside cultures, are less and less inclined to play by the rules.

“Never trust anyone in a warband!”

I suspect, were motorcycles available, we’d see many young charr cruising the cattle paths of Ascalon, looking for adventure, and, of course, whatever might come their way. Meanwhile, in the population centers, especially those of other cultures, young charr may spark a ‘bloom’, if you will, in the florist trade. Divinity’s Reach, particularly the streets and alleys near the Queen’s Pavilion, seems most likely to become something of a haven to these young charr, joining together en masse to express their individuality.

‘By the time we got to Kryta
We were half a million strong.’

Meanwhile, back in the Black Citadel, charr leaders can only scratch behind their ears in puzzlement and wonder what these crazy kids will do next.

If you’ve been taking lore seriously up till this point then you must have been using some amazing mental gymnastics since they have been making bad lore/changing decent lore ever since guild wars 2 was conceived at anet.

@Tachenon: Outfits aren’t lore determining.

@Manimarco: Eh, since Living World was in production, I’d say.

Not lore determining? Pshaw. Next you’ll be telling me quaggan backpacks and alicorn short bows aren’t lore determining.

They never talk about the roving mobs of baby quaggan clubbers…

I love almost all of Guild Wars 2 lore, but of course, I have to be using mental gymnastics because how can someone even conceive of a differing opinion. I just that carrraaazy.

I have to admit, after I got to the “charr on motorbikes” bit, I didn’t really see anything else. Mostly because I couldn’t really see anything else.

Doesn’t one of them have a ‘no quaggans were harmed in making this backpack’ description?

’Course, that might be only ONE.

Coming this summer… Rytlock as Mad Max!

That what the Evon Gnashblade wants you to think! Secretly the Black Lion Trading Post pays armies of destitute citizens of Lions Arch to hunt down and club baby Quaggans to death so we can wear their husks at pack pieces! Oh the Quagganity!

Why not? It’s good money using the hides to make the backpieces and baby Quaggan tastes just like chicken. (Fried Quaggan strips with French fries. Yum!)

Me too. Now I want Rox to star as a charr dissatisfied with her warband in a film called "The Charr on a Motorcycle". I’m sure she can source a blonde wig from Kasmeer.

AKA ‘Furred Under Leather’. With a little sidecar for Frostbite.

Oh, Frostbite! In a sidecar! Too adorable! XD

Might be a bit off topic, but if they were to ever introduce mounts in this game, the Charr would totally get motorcycles.

I want one of those race cars the charr have near Black Citadel’s front entrance.
