I did some similar fuckery with my asuran

He's the most pathetic damp creature in all of tyria. You can pick him up and toss him easily cuz the top knot acts as a convenient handle.

Just an asura ask game

1. Do they fit well into asuran society or are they more at home with other races? How do they feel about fellow asura? Is it because of their personality or something else? Is there any deal maker or breaker?

10. Is there anything they're terrible at and shouldn't be trusted with? Just how bad are they at it? Why? Has it resulted in any serious damage?

11. What was their education like? Did they go to Splorg's Metamystics Labs or somewhere else for their early education? Did anyone mentor them or take them for an apprenticeship/internship? Did they get admitted into one of the Colleges? If not, what path did they take and why?

12. If given the chance, would they take the position of professor in one of the Colleges? Or would they prefer to become someone's mentor? What would they teach? Would they be a good teacher?

13. What's their field of research of choice? Are they're pursuing it or is something else taking priority? If they don't have one or more, why not?

14. Do they consider themselves intelligent by asuran standards? Can they call themselves a genius? Is it an opinion shared by others or do they just have a big ego?

30. Free space for 3 pieces of trivia about your asura!

[cindermetalheadgw2]

Wizards: our job is to protect tyria from powerful threats

Commander: me too! a noble purpose

Wizards: which is why we want to practice keeping it safe so we know what to do when the time comes

Commander: exactly, training for these situations is important :)

Wizards: we create these magical simulations of places and events so we can be as prepared and realistic as possible. Wouldn't want anyone to ACTUALLY die or suffer right?

Commander: of course not, what a great idea!

Wizards: but, the fake people in the traumatic disaster simulator weren't acting realistic and preparing us well enough. So we just made them be real people! :D

Commander:

...

what.

I'm genuinely fascinated by asura dealing with life above ground like. In reading their lore on the GW1 wiki, until a point in... EotN? (I'd have to look again; I didn't play the first game and am only just recently dipping my toes in). Anyway until a point in the first game some people genuinely thought they were a myth.

So there's an implication there that until a couple hundred years ago tops? Asura never ventured to the surface much at all. Two, three hundred years isn't a terribly long time.

As a race they've got massive eyes compared to the size of their heads, and those big ears are probably great for hearing things in distant caves. But outside is very bright, and can be very loud. There's probably still plenty of asura who just cannot stand being out in the sun for too long, or in any of the bigger cities.

I'd wager there's some asura who just choose never to leave the city at all.

who would win in an argument phyroh or phlunk.Who casts the first punch

I was going to say that I'm not sure if phyroh could win this one BUT then I remembered we're talking about a creature with a brain that's shriveled to the size of a pea and probably cannot tell whether he's losing an argument. so.

phlunk would INSIST he's above such petty little arguments until phyroh "bigg diggs" himself has the gall to drop the equivalent of a your mom insult at phlunk and phlunk comes in with a nuke of a comeback,

"I'm sure the deceased of Rata Novus are abundantly pleased that you are the sole carrier of their legacy, and that you have made such stupendious strides in your life since breaking free of joko's reign. I applaud you, sir, you are truly nothing but the pinnacle of the asuran race."

I don't know why I'm assuming that phlunk knows phyroh's history but I think it's funny if he does without any explanation as to how. and you will have to tell me whether phyroh has the cognitive ability to recognize sarcasm. because if not I'm imagining him walking away from that with a giant grin on his face before he trips and falls into a ditch

The smartest most advanced race on Tyria still pull college pranks on each other and I love it.

Asura Appreciation Week

(aka i saw ratposting and wanted in)

DAY ONE: Talk about one of your asura OCs! @asura-appreciation-corner

Juggernaut Havokk, my scrapper/raid main/scrunkly lttle jerk

it all starts with him getting kicked out of college for his "unsuitable temperament" i.e. being a confrontational little bastard with unaddressed anger management issues. after a few years of doing menial grunt work and fending off inquest recruiters, he decides he's fed up with asuran society and takes off on his own.

a few years later, he finds himself in ascalon, where he accidentally gets caught up in a clash between a charr warband and some human separatists. inspired by the action and impressed with the charr's formidable ordnance, he decides to make his way to the black citadel and promptly offers himself up to the legions as an engineer.

unsurprisingly, his offer is scorned and he is turned away, but refusing to be overlooked yet again, he stubbornly settles down amongst the gladia and sets to work learning everything he can about weaponry and war machines. despite still living as an outcast, he thrives among the charr, finally passionate about his work, and even starts developing some custom projects of his own.

eventually, his effort earns him the notice of an iron legion tribune, who grants him special clearance to serve on the warfronts as a siege engineer. it's here that he first meets Amara, my main commander, during her early legion days. later on, he'll join her as a member of the pact and fight alongside her all the way from orr to the maguuma, after which he stays with the pact while she goes off to deal with dragon magic. they reunite again during the fall of kralkatorrik, and once more during the charr civil war.

as far as personality, he's generally cranky and abrasive, with a glare that could knock a minotaur flat. if you can get past his prickly shell, you'd find that he's quite witty, surprisingly talkative, and intensely loyal to those who earn it.
