[commander-rory]

I thought I would doodle up the current gw2 characters I have (or at least made in game thus far). I have three commanders in their own universes doing their own shenanigans. I’ll put some descriptions of these dweebs under a read more :D

Commander Rory - Asura Holosmith/Scrapper: He is by far my most played character. Rory sort of stumbled into the Commander role more by accident because he has a habit to run towards danger with the idea that he can be helpful in resolving whatever happens. He’s soft for a commander and for being an Asura, but he is definitely a workaholic. He’s the least likely to condescend because he’s excited to teach, and will always try to be anyone’s friend. Rory firmly believes ideas can come from anywhere, especially from the most unexpected places, so he enthusiastically likes to learn from others and try his own spin on things. He’s the krewe leader of Znappii, Rixxitt, Vallixx, and Quizzik. He adores Aurene, and later the Charr cub (who I’m currently developing aha) he adopts in the Charr civil war shenanigans.

Znappii - Asura Ranger: She is very dignified and reserved, but can also come across very arrogant and standoff-ish. This results from being disregarded by most Asura since she had a preference for understanding the natural world more than the technology they were developing. Rory’s earnest interest in her version of the pursuit of knowledge is what lead her to joining this krewe. She ends up cleaning up the messes that can result of her krewe’s shenanigans, especially of Rixxitt. Znappi relies on her panther, Blink, and spider, Webster. 

Rixxitt - Asura Elementalist: He’s beauty, he’s... not grace. Rixxitt is likeable, but by no means tactful. He will definitely do dangerous things for the sake of science, and will be the most likely source of trouble. He comes across as the “loveable idiot”, not because he’s actually stupid... rather just very impractical. His catchphrase could very much be “What’s the worst that could happen?”. Rixxitt is head-over-heels for Znappii. He joined this krewe upon Rory’s request after working together on some projects in their earlier days of Asuran college. 

Vallixx - Asura Mesmer: Acts as the krewe’s muscle in a lot of circumstances, and will handle the “dirty business” if need be. There is some secret joy in sticking it to the inquest when he gets the chance. Vallixx likes to use his abilities of illusions to his advantage and relies on intimidation to get his way. He is soft for Rory, but struggles with the fact his krewe leader is very oblivious to this. There never seems to be a right time to tell him either as Rory is always off doing something be it helping someone get their cat out of a tree or saving Tyria from certain doom. He joined the krewe because he was interested in where this particular band of misfits might go under the leader’s very open perspective to the world. 

Quizzik - Asura Necromancer: He comes across very stern and surly, but is actually a gentle soul. Social graces are not his strong suit, so he makes better friends with corpses than the living. As a brilliant scientist and strong voice of reason, he helps keep the krewe and their experiments from getting too out of hand. Quizzik is convinced Rory only asked him to be a part of his krewe out of pity, due to the lack of invitations and struggles to form his own lab krewe. He has learned over time that Rory respects his insight, and knowledge on how life connects even through death and “undeath”.

Dis Solvidottir - Norn Engineer: A friend of Rory. She met him while he was on a mission for the priory. She very much enjoyed working with him on a variety of projects, and treats him like a little brother. To be fair she likes to act like a big sister to everyone because she always wanted to be a big sister. So far she only has an older brother. Dis is very interested in making golems, but more inspired by nature. She wants to shape golems after the spirits and the wildlife around her as her way to pay respect to these beasts of legend. While she enjoys a good hunt, she is interested in being among the first Norn to “hunt the beasts in knowledge” to find the answers to the big questions out there and make a legend for herself out of that. Dis is determined to be known for her might both in body and in mind. 

Commander Nerys - Sylvari Necromancer: This young Sylvari found herself born into this role of being the Commander, but has many questions as to why. Her wyld hunt never seems to end despite each foe she faces, but she knows of nothing else. She is committed to this role feeling like she’s too deep to leave at this point, and trying to find a way to claim it as her own rather than feeling like something she was thrusted into without choice. Nerys comes across to other as someone who grown a thick shell of withered bark etched with wisdom while somehow being utterly naïve and young deep inside. The wisdom comes from the battles she has faced, while the youth and naivety comes from the fact she is still learning so much from the world around her. There are many moments where she still comes across things she has only heard of from the dream.

Numeria Scrapshield - Charr Engineer: This young Charr relies more on her wits than her strength, and is a proud member of the Ash legion. She’s soft at heart which gets her into a lot of trouble, so she does her absolute best to put on a tough act. Numeria meets Nerys in Elona during the hunt for Balthazar, working as one of the contact agents for the Order of Whispers. She admires the Commander’s strength despite the lack of experience she has lived in the world. 

Sianiss - Sylvari Ranger: Sianiss is a bold sylvari who isn’t afraid to say what she is thinking. She is bold and won’t stand for excuses, and loves the thrill of adventure. She was one of Nerys earliest friends who followed her beyond the grove to fulfill this grand wyld hunt she has been given. Sianiss struggled to make sense of her dream, but knew Nerys would somehow lead her where she was meant to go. Eventually after the death of Mordremoth she found her place as one who finds those who have been corrupted by the dragon and lead them back to some semblance of normality after the dragon’s corruption. Sianiss helps to heal the dragon’s corruption of the jungle as well, while learning the skills of survival from the natives who dwell there already. 

Zephyr - Sylvari Mesmer: A quiet Sylvari who has great compassion for living things. Zephyr follows Nerys acting as her right hand man when all else fails, and hopes to learn through her adventures of saving the world how to reach those who have become corrupted to the nightmare court. Overtime he has broadened this perspective to be a diplomat to try and unite the many races of Tyria, and not just the Sylvari themselves. He finds more success with the more “unwelcomed races” such as Skritt, Dredge, Grawl, and Centaurs than he does those who hold more power. 

Commander Qimmog - Asura Thief: This character was made to fit the more traditional Commander we see in game. Tactical and tempered through lots of strife. He’s sharp and a bit disgruntled which makes him difficult to approach. He had spent a period of time “undercover” among the inquest in the attempts to sabotage and dismantle some of their work within. With time Qimmog realized how corrupt the Arcane Council had become and has a strong distaste for the tolerance the council has for the inquest and their unethical research practices. He then turned his efforts to become a member of the Order of Whispers in the hopes through them he could dismantle the corruption within the council, but ended up focusing his attention on the bigger issues that come along in the in-game cannon. He has taken to the feisty, but reckless Jamie and acts as a mentor to her. He offers a lot of tough love in the attempt to push her towards the potential he sees. 

Jamie Shield - Human Revenant: Jamie is a young human, who also has a particularly youthful appearance and often gets treated like a child. She is determined to make a name for herself, following in the footsteps of her deceased parents. When she learned of the efforts being made to defeat Zhaitan, she was determined to take part and prove herself a worthy fighter. Qimmog saved her from nearly getting herself killed in one of the many battles of Orr, and she has stuck close by ever since with the ambition to one day return the favor to the Commander. Despite being treated as a nuisance by Qimmog, they have developed a good relationship. Jamie still has a lot left to learn, but she is growing under the Commander’s guidance.

21st January 2020

Welcome to Tuesday, which was originally derived from Tiw's Day. Tiw was a Germanic deity whose full name was Tiwaz. And now I want to watch Tiswas.

Here's what has been trending in the last 24 hours on Google in the UK:

𝐉𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧 - This is an epic exercise in what is not news. Jennifer won an award yesterday. So did Brad Pitt. They crossed paths backstage and briefly held hands. Cue manic trending news story about nothing.

𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 - Yesterday. How are we all doing? Google has the day categorised as a "Holiday", but I don't think that is entirely accurate. Hopefully the random bits and bobs I posted here helped you make it through the quagmire of depression, and you have successfully reached Tiptop Tuesday, which is what I am renaming today. It won't catch on.

𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐦 - First in the championship league, West Bromwich Albnion F.C. were beated 1 - 0 by Stoke City yesterday. Blame it on the blues, lads.

𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 - More tennis. Today it's the men's singles and some of these matches are being played as I type. It's almost like real life this, isn't it?

𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐮𝐬 - Wuhan in China seems to be the starting place for the virus, which can be spread by humans, and has already claimed four lives and left hundreds ill. It looks as though everyone is doing their best to contain it, but an Australian man is currently being tested for the virus after returning from China with a respiratory illness.

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 - Beales department store has gone into administration after it failed to find a buyer or new investors for the business. I have been to Beales in Bournemouth. End of message.

𝐌𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 - The band have teased some new sounds; they recently reformed after seven years of solo projects, and are about to go on tour. Link to follow providing I can find one; I've no idea what the new stuff sounds like.

𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 - Three men were stabbed to death in Seven Kings in Ilford on Sunday. Two men have been arrested. No actual kings were involved.

𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐰𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎 - The Chiefs play the 49ers on Sunday 2nd Feb. Tickets are SUPER expensive, but the good news is that the mid-show entertainment is the only interesting bit (for me, anyway) and that will probably be available online the day after. So skip the running, throwing, tackling, kicking, 100% likelihood of injury in a sport that requires its players to practically wear armour and is also quite dull, and find the edited highlights on the interweb later.

𝐂𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐢 - Edinson Cavani, a Uruguayan footballer, is trending in the headline "Merson says: Edinson Cavani a no-brainer for Chelsea". Which you could mis-interpret to be quite insulting, if you were so inclined. I almost always am.

In Love Island news (you know you want to know...): Rumours that Mike is under investigation for something that took place when he was a member of the police force are being fiercely denied by his family. I don't know any of the details, but I like to think the LI team would have done their due diligence and that this is non-news that is the result of the media's desperate need to be racist shits. Connor needs to stop calling women "birds". Sianisse needs to re-spell her name if she wants people to pronounce it the way she wants them to pronounce it; either that or not get quite so stressed when people get it wrong. It's like me deciding to spell my name "Tease" and then wondering why no-one calls me Tessa.
