I have been. so eepy this week,,, i took this pic like a week ago with the specific intention of using it for this...

BUT! TIS HALLOWEEN!!!

And as my dedicated Mad King's Eve Enjoyer, Seremnis has decided she is done entertaining polite society and will now become a Creechur.

for the foreseeable holiday, she will be stalking the rooftops, traveling between shadows, sneaking sweet cookies and other treats into the baskets of kids and random other people she thinks are cool

(the wings are mesmer-enchanted to move like her ears... were, but she swears she definitely won't accidentally make them real and functional through enough time and returning-to-a-solid-form-from-shroud. again. mhm.) (...anyways my favorite fashion trick is that if you have funky boots like the rabbit stompers that change how your feet look and then find pants that hide most of the upper part you can get funky bug/bird feet. tis nice.)

Share your ocs Halloween costume!

It's another lovely halloween, and I know this community has some fantastic costume ideas! From characters/celebrities to classic sexy/spooky costumes, the creativity is through the roof!

Share and show off your lovely costumes here gw2 community, and perhaps you will earn a little treat :3 (in which a piece of candy/sweet will be chosen to give to any characters who ring the doorbell of this thread)

Technically, Enkkioh is both wayfinder and current commander, but for the sake of the prompt we'll say Enkkioh, the wayfinder, against Seremnis and Zori, the first two commanders...

.....Honestly the hardest part would be getting Zori to participate at all, she hates fighting unless it's necessary and she's honestly terrified of hurting the people she cares about- at best, it's a two-against-one enkkioh and seremnis slowly trying to get her into it, and even then she's absolutely going to be losing on purpose.

Enkkioh and Seremnis, however, once they're in more consistent contact (around and after icebrood saga) spar regularly, with Enkkioh genuinely enjoying having a sparring partner, and also decideing that dear alchemy Seremnis needs to learn how to actually dodge already, you did not need to take half of those hits- no she doesn't care that you can self resurrect, that's cheating. Come on, let's see how long you can go without taking a hit, you are fast, you can do this...

...in some sort of weird all-out brawl scenario, though... honestly, it's sorta batman rules. If enkkioh has enough prep time, she can take both of them; if not, she's kinda screwed.

GW2 COMMANDER PROMPT:

For anyone who is using separate characters for their 'Commander' and 'Wayfinder';

Which of the two would win in a fight?

[axe-trio-commanders]

Hm. This is an old post, going through my likes for tech tips (i have got to find a better way to organize things) but. speaking of women and hinges. Uh. Zori. Like- she is desperately holding into the hinges, like her life and the fate of tyria depends on it. 90% of the time. Yeah?

however.

In general, in the events of Path of Fire, zori is having a no-good, very bad time in which she is experiencing the full effects of a relic of balthazar (from way back in that one priory mission of the personal story. I decided that should have lasting side effects uwu) while balthazar himself is there, which mostly consists of an unquenchable rage and being constantly on fire, and being vaguely directed by balthazar's forces towards places of resistance.

Eventually, zori. well. visits the domain of the lost, as it were, the curse is lifted, kind of, she comes back to the mortal realm all new and shiny.

But then, y'know, she and seremnis kill balthazar, and all that magic has to go somewhere, and there's this convenient void left where the curse was.

It doesn't really show up noticeably, though, as the story progresses, until they reach istan.

And in istan, there's this fun little event where joko's awakened arrive at the astralarium, and attempt to take and burn the books that don't agree with joko's narrative

and. well. There's very few things that will get you murdered by a bright orange dragon-slaying war-hating warcat from the priory faster than historical revisionism

gw2 community prompt:

i am starved of unhinged women, so i am looking counting on you to scratch the itch until i get my hands on an unhinged woman of my own. give me unhinged women! commanders, non commanders, altho fem!commanders are a god tier (the commander is god tier period), norn, humans, sylvari, charr or asura - i just wanna see some cool women!!

[axe-trio-commanders]

love a character that's like. i survived (<- not a brag) (<- this is a curse that weighs on me every waking hour)

[axe-trio-commanders]

Well- going off what characters i actually have ages figured out for, at current JW year 1337 AE, Seremnis (as local only sylvari in the group) is 12 years out of the pod and therefore youngest, Lasca (ex-flame airship pirate charr) is 24, Lovi and Varza (as littermates) are both 26, Zori is 27, and Enkkioh is the oldest at 29.

Which. Is fun, for several reasons, because,

a) by this timeline, at the start of personal story (ie when zori loses nearly her entire warband), Zori is 14. There are only two years between this and Zhaitan's defeat. Zori is the first commander.

b) Enkkioh, despite being a smallish asura and Lovi being a pretty tall charr, still calls Lovi her 'little sister' due to the age difference, and also because they both think it's funny

c) I have decided that Janthir Wilds will be a Zori and Enkkioh expansion, as Zori will immediately want to Explore New Place, and Enkkioh is both the new commander and the wayfinder

d) Despite having had plenty of personal interaction with seremnis and destiny's edge, Enkkioh has, up to this point, only ever really interacted with Zori during EoD, where zori was either a) in recovery from serious injury, b) in strategic Commander/Politics mode, or c) doing all that heckin wild, absurdly magical flashy stuff near the end. They have never held a casual conversation. Therefore, Enkkioh's main impression so far is from being in the Pact, and hearing stories of bravery and justice and an unconquerable will fighting the elder dragons, a long and distinguished legacy to live up to and uphold.

e) Malice keeps calling Zori 'cub'.

f) Zori, original commander, co-founder of the Pact, slayer of dragons and gods, is only 1 year older than Enkkioh's little sister.

suddenly got curious: who are your in-universe youngest and oldest characters? if you want to adjust for sylvari ages, i don't mind either way!

[axe-trio-commanders]

oh oh oh yes good I get to tell this story again

So Zori is a ranger. She was also very over-emotional as a cub and got easily attached to any number of things (i say like that ever changed), including the ruins she grew up around, any other cub that would talk to her, and the local animals.

She's eventually basically adopted, pretty late (relatively) into cubhood, into a band of other charr that hadn't really been able to find a 'band- and they get along great, and Zori's so happy to not have to worry about this anymore, but they can't figure out a good warband name.

Zori, off the top of her head, comes up with the idea for the 'Sun' warband, and everyone loves it. Bright, distracting, powerful, hotter flames than even the flame legion (who they're going to beat up)! It's perfect!

.......and Zori simply never tells them that she got her warband named after the grouchy old mousing cat she'd been slowly befriending.

...As for my other charr... Olirus Quickshot was from the Quick warband- I don't think anything dramatic ever happened to the warband, Olirus just decided to go off to the vigil and the 'band agreed she got to keep the name, since they got along well. Quick shot specifically bc one of her (earlier) feats was being able to quickly and accurately fire with dual pistols.

...Now that she's lost a good amount of function in one arm and has resorted to long-range rifle fire as her main attack, she doesn't mention her surname much. Doesn't feel like she deserves it anymore.

Lovi and Varza, siblings of all time, have the surnames Leyspark and Snapspark, respectively. They aren't actually in the same warband- Varza's technically in the Spark warband in flame, even though he's rarely ever in contact with his own warband (by choice. he hates it there. vehemently. he does not like his warband.) And even though Lovi joined the iron legion briefly after leaving rata sum, she... didn't join a ley warband or a spark warband. She just... didn't actually know how legion surnames worked, and didn't respect them enough to try and learn- that, and one of her specializations is working with leyline magic and 'leylime', that funky holey rock you see around leylines in like. maguuma and such.

...Snapspark is also rather accurate for varza.

(...it does feel right, though. In memories long repressed, they both decided as small, small cubs that they'd run away and start their own warband, their own legion...)

Heres a fun question for legion Charr Oc havers! (Feel free to respond either in comments or Rbs!)

Why did your Charr choose the surname they have? What was the reason? Was it given to them by their warband instead?

Leo was part of the Echo Warband and was given the word "Watcher" due to always being seen observing the Ascalonian ghosts, and his tendency to patiently stratageize rather than rush ahead.

Hello, gw2blr!

As you might know, Janthir Wilds is dropping soon (20th of August to be precise), so I wanted to "steal" an idea for an event that ffxiv side of things did before the release of Dawntrail, (Count) Down to Dawntrail. I did not want to do it by expac, and we haven't had a Commander Week community event in forever, so here it is! Commander Week 2024 (24th of July - 31st of July), hosted by yours truly!

Who can participate? Anyone who's ever played gw2 in their life. Bonus points if you're all caught up on the story! What kind of content is allowed? Writing, art, screenshots, edits, any creative outlet you want! Even poems are allowed. It doesn't have to be new writing either, as long as it fits the prompts :) Is it a nsfw event? Please refrain from any spicy/nsfw stuff. This is a strictly non-spicy event. Will there be spoilers? Yeah! Please tag them accordingly if they're newer content (EoD and SotO primarily) but this isn't a spoiler free event by any means. Is shipping allowed? Full speed ahead, my good Commander. Full speed ahead, if that floats your skiff. Are Wayfinders included? As long as they're the same as your Commander, sure! This event assumes that Wayfinder = Commander, so if they are separate characters for you, please focus on the Commander.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to shoot me an ask, but these are general guidelines! Go forth and create, gw2blr, and let's celebrate the Commander for being the most Protagonist of All Time!

[axe-trio-commanders]

POLL TIME (PLEASE yap in the tags i want to see your blorbo lore)

[axe-trio-commanders]

sometimes i feel like gw2 feels a bit narratively lacking just as a personal opinion – but sometimes following a collection you will end up in front of a tangle of rusty pipes, one of which has an opening missing its grate and overgrown with leaves, and you will walk through the tunnel until it emerges into this vast utterly hidden green grotto with sunlight streaming in through cracks from above and facilitating the growth of these little strawberry patches. and a little charr kid is tending the strawberries and shes like Aw man you found my strawberries, you can have some, please just dont tell anyone else about this, its my secret place. this serves no other plot purpose but to be a moment you experience. and its little moments like this forever. 

[axe-trio-commanders]

i'm the world's no.1 advocate for throwing random additional traits onto sylvari. they don't have to be all humanoid through and through, they're plants made in that shape based on a human, and mind you, the pale tree's other dad was a centaur. put a tail on that thing. put some cat ears (my last message before passing away)

[axe-trio-commanders]

You know what. I hope that as time goes on every expansion has a fun little mastery track for the housing. And I want one of the mastery tracks to be musical instruments. I want a piano. perhaps an organ. Harpsichord. 8-octave array mbira. that one glass bowl instrument i'm forgetting the name of. cello. all the instruments impractical for carrying around..... (....also slightly unrelatedly, i still want accidentals. I cannot jazz in these conditions.) Like. Join someone's house instance, immediately greeted by the rest of the party playing in-game jazz. Or, alternatively, enter someone's house instance and immediately get unwillingly rickrolled. like, yeah, sure, i could use the mastery tracks that give me better in-game bonuses, but- consider- giving me an entire church organ to become the in-game phantom of the opera.

Pop-Up Beach Party [NA] GW2 RP Event

Aching for a vacation? Boring week looming on the horizon? Have I got the cure for you! Dr. Grotto of Lion's Arch Adventures is hosting an open beach party on Monday, April 15th from 2pm to 5pm EDT.

To join, find us in the RP Squad LFG Tab under "LAA Beach Party" or type the command "/sqjoin Eevee.9107" into your chat panel. We'll be just north of Bloodcoast Ward Waypoint [&BA4EAAA=]

Rules:

Chill vibes only! Please keep all squabbling to a minimum and leave rivalries at the door. You're in no way obligated to interact with other attendees, so it's no biggie if you have someone privately blocked - just don't rope everyone else into it!

you will receive up to three warnings for violating the above rule before being removed from the event. Particularly egregious conduct may result in a ban from all future LAA events.

This is an RP event, but you're not required to participate in RP if you'd rather just watch!

Come and go as you please - there's no obligation to stay until the event ends, nor to arrive at 2pm sharp. (That said, I do appreciate people who arrive on time if able - it's very nerve wracking when there's only 1-2 other people for the first 10 minutes!)
