Does Anyone Else Think That Warband Member in Personal Story Are...
in Charr
Posted by: KablamoBoom.5938
Clawspur did a ton of damage for me, when paired with the other older thief you get in the Blood Legion story arc. Alternately, Maverick worked well with my thief as he would take all the NPC damage while I killed everything. Okay, it’s a little cheap just shoving your ‘bandmate in to tank everything but you’ll revive him in the end, right?
It is made on purpose, so they cannot be ever tracked, born rangers
The charr are just that kitten.
Regular rangers will cover their tracks, the Ash Legion don’t bother – they leave backwards tracks. BAMF.
Hah, nice one.
Let me counter with this one, overheard at a construction site in Lion’s Arch, a charr to a sylvari while both are hammering some planks, paraphrased.
“Friend of yours?”
My soul died a little the moment I understood…
So to recap, like most things it comes down to what gives people kittens, and charr just dont have any sex appeal at all.
Mmyes. The charr zones are empty and it all comes down to what gives people kittens.
ANet, I love you.
Not gonna lie, Reeva makes me feel ill half the time.
She’s so happy-go-lucky, and while it’s pointed out humorously again and again throughout the storyline, I was continually disappointed by how shallow of a character she felt to me. Just my two cents. I have yet to try Dinky and I am seriously contemplating rerolling my thief just for his story.
I’d just like to take a moment to say thank you ANet for making a game with so many possible characters. Not only does the game give you a ridiculous selection, they have different dialogues based on your legion, your heritage, and the missions you choose throughout the game. Incredible!
I jump on Charr’s cause they’re soft.
My thoughts exactly.
In fact, jumping on any other race is really not comparable.
Water mechanics in general are weird. Medium armored thief charr using Roll for Initiative underwater is like an Asuran elementalist using Ride the Lightning on land, it propels you a good 900-1200 at incredible speed, with only one push with both arms.
Therefore, either:
+ Charr, thieves, and any heavy armored characters are genetically similar to Michael Phelps or
+ All the water in Tyria is magic.
Take your pick.
Agreed Numot. And beside that, the warband has to come first…
It’s one reason charr are interesting, IMO, because this is a refreshing departure from ZOMG Twoo Wuv obsessions. :pWorth noting : a big part of why Rytlock Brimstone is so pissed about Logan is that he put Twoo Wuv At First Sight ‘romantic obligations’ (:coughtotallynotmesmerbrainwashingcough:) and orders above his warband and his duty. It also gives a rather interesting texture to the Honourless Gladium background and Rytlock’s reaction to taking the “Thicker Than Water” quest, whether you take Sesric and Vallus to have been lovers or bandmates.
I have a feeling that a Charr is free to get together with whomever he’s attracted to, so long as he can keep things drama-free.
That seems to be the most vital rule. Violate a direct order without exceptionally good reason, and you’re in for a world of hurt; scrapper duty and beatings at best, and death or even warband expulsion if it was serious. Keep loyal to your orders and your warband, and most Charr will allow quite a bit. That’s going to vary somewhat based on commanding officer — if you’re unlucky enough to be stuck with someone like Volante Tornpaw or Urvan Steelbane, they’ll probably try to twist personal matters as having got in the way of duty to fit their whims — but as a social norm it’s probably the typical response. If running Meatoberfest and getting drunk as a Norn while on duty isn’t a problem, bunking with someone whose horns match yours probably won’t matter much.
I’m also betting even gay Charr are encouraged to close their eyes and think of the legion on occassion, since gay Charr aren’t needed for additional hands in child raising (one of the current explanations for the evolutionary existence of gay animals and humans).
At least for gay males, unless female Charr have very short estrus cycles, it’s unlikely to be an issue in modern Kyrta. The numerical reasons for that are probably why the species was able to survive when it was throwing the majority of its males into suicidal charges, actually. As long as offspring need to be weaned — which can take a year — there are at least some evolutionary pressures to make sure there will be parts of the warband that are available for more general help.
Assuming, you know, macroevolution is even responsible for the Charr; at least a few races have been dramatically reformed by the Mists or other powerful beings.
This is probably the most intelligent response to the posts here and the OP you will find on this thread. I was shocked at the lack of consideration of the Honourable Gladium story arc- it’s part of the main early charr story, and what I’d consider one of the most notable examples of potential homosexual relationships of the charr.
Considering that the charr are similar to Greek or Roman cultures, as it has been pointed out, I would expect some amount of same-sex relationships. I find it interesting that people have said the opposite, that a war-oriented, progress driven society would discourage same-sex relationships when on the contrary, the Greeks in particular were encouraged to have said relationships. The idea was, in a war setting, you would fight harder if you were fighting for and alongside romantic partners.
I’m not saying homosexual relationships therefore ought to be seen all throughout the charr storyline and how dare ANet not give clear examples! No, and I should also point out that the Charr culture is for the most part sexually equal, the statues in front of the citadel tell a whole story about female charr being allowed in the military, so they differ from the Spartans in that respect as well.
It’s my guess that based on the culture and their military structure (these two in particular because they seem to be what people are posting on) there could and would easily be some level of homosexual relationships, particularly within warbands, but definitely kept on the down-low. After all, the charr really don’t stress relationships much, based on NPC dialogue.
As for the Vallus/Sesric story arc, I think it’s likely they were in some sort of relationship. That is just my opinion though, YMMV for this entire thread. Are we looking into it too much? Hell yes, but please check the OP, looking into it is the point of this thread.
Humans have shown the ability to run away when facing a Charr so i suppose you can count them as intelligent.
Sylvari, celery that wants to live life as a centaur more confused than intelligent.
Norn have been know to starve to death while desciding what to eat for breakfast.
Hitchhiker’s reference aside, this post made me choke on breakfast cereal.
