Guild Wars 2

Based on the lore from GW1 and GW2, one can safely assume Human Mesmers ( Male and Female), are highly into fashion?

That’s the stereotype, and is probably safe when thinking of human mesmers as a whole. Like any stereotype, though, it wouldn’t hold true of every member and could possibly cause some offense if it is just assumed to pertain to an individual.

Like Aaron said, while it is probably true that the average mesmer cares more about beauty, fashion and the like than the average non-mesmer, this wouldn’t apply to all mesmers.

I’d think that being able to illusion your own fantastic, unrealistic outfits would be a huge draw to the potential members of the profession.

So, yes. For some at least. It’s probably also something to keep up appearances—most mesmers are nobles (Magic-type runs in bloodlines), combine that with the above fact, and presto! Fashionable Human mesmers.

That’s more or less how I constructed the backstory for my own human female mesmer. She’s the namesake of my GW1 main, also a mesmer; as she was created in the Nightfall campaign, my headcanon has her as the descendant of an Istani noble family that escaped to Kryta when Palawa Joko overran Elona, and ended up assuming its own position in the Krytan aristocracy. As such, she’s one of the flashier – and more daring – dressers of my characters.

I ran my Mesmer in rouge armor, so yeah, there is that (before someone asks. yes, there was an armor that was called rouge http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Mesmer_Elite_Rogue_armor )

Speaking of outrageous and unrealistic mesmer armors, does anyone remember the Elite Enchanter armor? The female version was definitely designed for the boudoir, not the battlefield. That being said, it was one of my favorite outfits for my GW1 mesmer…
