#Howl Boldrage

[brightwingedbat]

Charr headcanons with my ocs

I have five main charr who are closely knit with the 10-30 personal story. Including the sire choices being canonical for them. All my other charr do not follow personal story at all, nor the sire choices.

But only Nastazya actually loses Urvan's warband in Blood. And none of the charr companion choices are lost then. Only unnamed charr from Urvan's band. The other four main charr do not lose their warbands in 1325 AE.

Instead, my main five charr all have one of the companions in their warband. (plus bonus addition of their legion + sire)

Nastazya Ragewelder - Dinky Bluntrage - Rage Warband (Blood - Argus Foolkiller) Marcus Furyclash - Maverick Greatfury - Fury Warband (Blood - Clement Forktail) Tantalus Locksmith - Euryale Spellsmith - Smith Warband (Iron - Clement Forktail) Chip Ironwelder - Reeva Gearwelder - Welder Warband (Iron - Vallus Smokemane) Cali Fellstalk - Clawspur Felldagger - Fell Warband (Ash - Vallus Smokemane)

Howl Boldrage was a part of Rage & Steel Warbands with Nastazya, as a legionnaire at first, before over half their band was lost in brand and they were absorbed into Urvan's Steel Warband. Personal story goes on, etc.

Thinking about young Nastazya and her Rage warband, what she was like, and how much of an absolute pain she must have been for her primus Tonold. Young Naz was definitely a bully, alongside her friend Clio. They were the mean girls, the tough ones. Those two probably got roared at by Tonold on many occasions aha. Poor Faust would have gotten the brunt of their antics, a slim lad for a Bloodie. Clio would often call him 'Lanky' which stuck even after they graduated. Whenever the two were being mean, he'd hide behind Graw, the big lad of the 'band. Tullia and Howl were the only ones who could get those two to back off. Tullia trying to mediate, saying they're making Dinky upset, and none of them want to upset Dinky. He's like the little brother of the 'band. Howl is the bold and bossy 'leader' of the warband. And if Naz and Clio act up too much he always threatens to go report them to Tonold. It usually works. Usually. Sometimes they get in a fight, because Nastazya was a brawly little devil of a kit. Inevitably causing enough of a ruckus for Tonold to need to step in, Naz getting cub time out, being pouty and growly.

[brightwingedbat]

I saw a blog about GW2 Commander's age when becoming the commander so I decided it's a loredump time for Nastazya Ragewelder. Nastazya was 30 years old when she became the Commander, having already had a lot of military experience and hardening her shell well before becoming one of the most renowned Commanders on Tyria. At first however, she wasn't so skilled. From fahrar up til she was 25, she was rash and reckless. Rushing in to prove herself to her mother and father, Raeve Goreblade and Argus Foolkiller. Mostly to the former, her mother was an Iron Legion centurion who she looked up to a lot. Originally, she grew up with six other cubs in fahrar, the Rage Warband. Two of which are Howl Boldrage and Dinky Bluntrage. The other four; Clio Wildrage, Faust Edgerage, Graw Ragehammer and Tullia Ragemelt. Tullia being Nastazya's mate at the time.

This however would not last, she was in the Iron Marches along with her warband and her mother preparing against the ogres. Nastazya complained about Raeve holding her back, she wanted to join. She was swiftly reprimanded and forced to reply in military respect, ultimately her warband was stuck with watching the camp. That is until Kralkatorrik soared over Ascalon, while Raeve and her group went after the ogres. Nastazya demanded Howl to let her go into the new Brand, and he allows it, along with the rest of the warband coming along voluntarily too. And this is where Nastazya's personality gets a major shift, she finds her mother already branded. Faust pushes her out of the way of bolt of branding magic and gets crystallised. She has to slay her mother, the rest of the warband get Faust out of the crystal, though it's too late and he soon turns branded. Graw quickly takes him out, kneeling for forgiveness soon after. And everything spirals down as they try to escape, Clio's drake turns and kills her. An army of branded hears the struggles and Graw stays to give the others time to escape. Tullia gets impaled by a sudden attacking branded siege devourer, and sends Nastazya into an anguished rage, destroying the monster's head near to dust. Tullia is the only one they manage to retrieve the body of. So the last three of Nastazya, Howl and Dinky return to the camp, another Iron Centurion there for info. It's hard on the three, especially Nastazya who has the guilt over her head for getting her warband into the brand in the first place. Down over half of their warband, Howl feels he can no longer lead. The three ends up being transferred into Urvan Steelbane's warband. Nastazya would change from Ragewelder to Steelrage during the next five years. It's during those years she wisens up, takes understanding strategy more seriously, she never wants to go through another warband loss again. She improves, toughens up more than ever. And then Urvan's 'strategies' manage to get another warband of hers killed, all but Dinky. It takes all of her power to not attack Urvan the moment he blames her for the deaths, but in the end, she kills him in the Bane and takes over the warband. Returning once more to Rage Warband and retaking her old name. And that begins the path towards becoming the Legendary Pact Commander.

A bittersweet ending note; in fahrar the other cubs helped her with her braided hairstyle. And to this day she always does her hair as they did, with each braid being the one her warband did back then.
