Guild Wars 2

Praise the sun!

I have a level 80 Charr thief who is my main. He’s at max size, which can make the camera go crazy in tight areas, but I’ve always believed that Charr should be big and imposing. I highly recommend playing through the game as one!

To Scarlet,

Can I help?

Sincerely,
Someone Tired of Jennah

I’m also on CD and love everything Charr. Drop me an invite sometime!

Interesting Iknakh. We all think different and I respect both u’r taste and opinion:) 

But I also want u to try and think in this way… What if we have a charr class that is not a heavy armour “war-machine”, lets say a ranger – a “close-to-nature-class” or a spellcaster  that wants a more mysterious look and yet slender an beautiful instead of the raw look many ppl acociate with charr. The slender and beautiful look can still be powerful/evil/mean looking though – for those who likes that.

I think there should be room for all these tasts when creating looks for the charr – both brutal warmachine-looking ones and more mysterious graceful looking ones

I certainly do appreciate your attempt at persuading me to see it your way, but I remain firm in my opinion. It is certainly true that you can achieve a desired “slender” and “beautiful” semblance while attempting to also look powerful, but to a Charr, beauty and grace take on different meanings. Grace can be achieved with a sleeker, more lithe and wiry framed individual. You can also determine grace by a Charr’s agility and how fluidly they move. Beauty to a Charr is too subjective to classify; however, as I have stated, I do not believe that this antler type is a step in that direction. Sure, they look “cool” or, as you put it, “mysterious and… slender”, but there are other ways to do it that still take on the fierce aspect of the Charr. 

It is also important to remember that all Charr are trained at the fahrar to become a part of the “war machine” of their legion. Even the most “close to nature” class, the ranger, is trained alongside their pet to be ferocious warriors and efficient killers.

So yeah, I am going to stand by my opinion that the idea and concept is interesting and simply not invoking the same  sensation that comes with other Charr horns. Why not try horns from members of the antelope/gazelle family? Some antelopes have very “feminine” looking horns that would still strike one as representing the heart of a Charr:

Fun fact: horns end in one point (unless tampered with) and are made of keratine (like your finger nails or a rhino horn). Also, both genders have horns. Antlers, of which you have depicted, are made of actual bone and end in multiple points. Antlers are only on males, with the exception of caribou.

So am I for these? Not entirely. The design is interesting, but they don’t scream “I am a CHARR!” at me.

Did you use a Fine Transmutation Stone or a regular one? You will need a blue (Fine) one in order to transmute skins on level 80 items.

I would outfit my characters with cool looking attire and buy them precursors (I would have plenty of gold to begin crafting legendaries, and that’s half the fun of making one). I would then start focusing more on the game itself and live the rest of my virtual lie without worry, riding off on my White Moa into the sunset.

I decided to test her facial beauty with legendary internet science. She scored higher than I imagined.

… So my first Charr, Griever Stormlion, has already been rated. But I just made a second. I got the name Griever from Final Fantasy 8 – he was a “secret” Summon Monster, a huge blue winged lion with horns, who is summoned by the final boss instead of being available for players to summon. It turns out, Final Fantasy 9 had a similar lion-like hidden summon. Eiko Carol’s ultimate summon is Madeen, a huge marshmallow colored winged cat monster who spent most of the game hiding out as Mog, a Moogle.

So the character is Madeen Cinderthorn. She was forbidden from learning to fight, but taught herself Elemental Magic by watching the Shamans in secret. When she was caught practicing, she deserted and fled Flame Legion territory, narrowly escaping death. The Ash Legion took her in, and she joined the Thorn Warband, taking Cinder as the other part of her name as a reminder to her former kin that she is every bit as formidable of an Elementalist as a formally trained Flame Shaman.

I’ve got a third, an Engineer (Griever was originally the Engineer but recently became a Guardian), but I’m still on the fence about his name. I’ll only post him if he makes it to 20+ without being rerolled.

Griever Stormlion: 7/10
Griever doesn’t exactly sound like what a Charr parent would name their child, but I suppose it could work if said Charr was a burden to his parents! Stormlion is an interesting concept and mixture, so I like it.

Madeen Cinderthorn: 9/10
Her back story is very interesting and her name fits perfectly with the usual types, so it rates highly with me.
______________________

I recently created a Charr elementalist named “Titus Firebrand”.

Titus is a Latin name meaning “fire” or “to burn”, which fits in perfectly with his element of choice: fire. Firebrand comes from the Brand warband that was stationed to patrol the Brand area. Once again, Fire comes into play here (perhaps a bit redundant).

I’m looking to start a charr-centered guild on Crystal Desert. Send me a message on the forums if you’re interested.

Rumm Alechugger – 7/10

I really like it. Rumm sounds like “rum” and I take it when it comes to drinking contests, no one beats your Charr!

Mine are Nero Silvertongue (Ash Legion) and Tyberius Bulletfire (Iron Legion).
