#Also this is her current outfit as of EoD

[leyline-legionnaire]

Finally done with this! Did a big ol' doodle sheet of my scruffy Charr Commander~

[ohpollenpowder]

1] I am...one of the oldbies. I didn't get to play early, didn't join at launch. I joined in October 2012 just in time for the first Halloween event. So story wise, it was just Personal Story at that point.

2] The first race+profession was my old main, whom I still have and sometimes still play. It's Laviii, my Human Elementalist currently decked in Catalyst. I still need to finish dragging her through story, ngl. I left her in Drizzlewood, just starting that part of story.

3] I currently have 69 characters made, but I have 71 unlocked character slots. Everytime there was a pre-launch for an Expac that included a character slot, I purchased it. And so... /gestures

4] My favorite playable race is actually Asura. Despite my list being mostly plants. I love the story that Asura get, but I also love the customizability for Sylvari. I get to explore color theory there.

5] So this is going to be slightly off, because I've been playing all afternoon and finally closed the game when I'm answering these. Not going to reopen the game for this. So last count was when I was taking Siriol's birthday picture: 6,558 hours and 36 minutes. And then probably add on another...oh, ten hours between that picture and this evening.

6] No real life ones, really? Though I have met guild mates at Otakon one year (oh, so long ago) and am currently encouraging a coworker to join in on the fun!

7] Any legendary, tbh. You could say map complete but honestly I look at it as a way to just disconnect from things and mindlessly do. So I'm kinda enjoying the Adventure stuff they've given us. (Found that secret room above/below in Snowden.) But not digging that it's per character given...yeah, I've got 69 to go through.

8] I have all my books in Laviii's bags now, thanks to an Instagram post someone made with the idea. I've also got several characters running around with Jars of Bees or Harpy Pheromones. A dwarven thumb here or there... Colwyn has gifts from his old partner still in his bags. Some of them have flowers and I think there's a coffee pot and a sign in my bank that belong to Laviii.

9] lmao Given my brain? Hell no, not a specific time. Has it though? Absolutely. Probably every story they've given us has an instance of this.

10] I don't....know???? I try to be hella open in game. There really isn't a reason to be otherwise.

11] The current wardrobe system. Dyes were once character specific. I don't really think transmutation was around at the start? Maybe it was. But you needed three of those stones in order to change one piece of clothing. I think those were also character specific but I could be wrong.

12] OLD LION'S ARCH. *ahem* I really did like when we had the option to mix certain outfit pieces together and they had their own dye palettes. Mostly because there's shirts that they've paired with the shorts that I wouldn't and then there's the old flying pants and...yeah.

13] I can't say that I do, honestly.There are certainly ones that I like more than others but can I call them to mind? Nope. Again, my brain is a colander.

14] How are we defining Companion in this? Because if it's loosely, Laranthir. But if it's more "several chapters spent together" sort of Companion...we're gonna go with pre-EoD Canach and then it shifts to Rama.

15] They've all been really good at being hated... But I'd have to say a mixture between Kralkatorrik and Mordremoth.

16] The little animals that end up being ambient creatures. They're just...gone so easily. "Shit. Sorry little frog, meant to hit the Awakened beside you." "No! Not the frog! How dare you!"

17] There's a little house in LA that's got a nice little sitting area. Obviously anywhere you can see the PoF sky-boxes. And Cantha is its own wonder. Would it be cheesy of me to say the instances that have bits of old LA in it? Mostly because I miss the fountains.

18] Aside from being decent at WvW/PvP/Raids? Never mind the fact I've yet to really try the latter. I still can't seem to get the hang of the dive/climb that the griffon has??? And ingraining a rotation for attacks in my head. I just. Use things. As they recharge. Most of the time.

19] I don't think ten years ago I would've imagined that I'd have a Tumblr platform or an Instagram platform. Or that I'd occasionally stream things. I've enjoyed the creativity this game has given me in other outlets.

20] Give Ranger a rifle/pistol. Give us more turtle skins, Canthan skimmer and beetle skins. Give the Commander a break. Keep giving us content.
