Aurene & OCs Ask Game 💙

1. How does the Champion feel about Aurene? Do they consider her a daughter, a sister, a friend, a ward, a burden, just a dragon or something else?

2. What were the Champion's first thoughts and reaction when Aurene hatched? Did their opinion change over time?

3. Is there anything non-canon/unique about your Champion and Aurene? Powers, ways to communicate, transformations/brandings, etc

4. What are their thoughts on the prophecy surrounding Aurene? Do they feel like they had agency in it? Did they ever doubt it?

5. How did the Champion spend time with baby Aurene? Do they still spend time together once she's an adolescent/an Elder Dragon?

6. Did Aurene learn any quirk or habit from her Champion? Is her Champion aware of it? Did they try to correct her or was it intentional? Did they develop any habits during their time with her?

7. Other than her Champion and Caithe, is there anyone else bound to Aurene? What's special about their bond? What's their relationship with Aurene and the others like?

8. Are there others who are close to her? What's their relationship with her and her Champion? Does it impact canon?

9. Is there anyone Aurene dislikes? Why? Does she show it? Are they aware of it? What would have to happen for that to change?

10. How does your Champion feel about Aurene leaving? Do they believe they'll see her again?

("Champion" is meant as the one Aurene choses while she is still an egg, but they don't have to be the Commander and there can be more than one! List any co/alt/AU Champions in tags!)

Combat asks for Keres: 2, 13 and 22

Thank you for asking! I always enjoy rambling about Keres.

2. Do they like to fight? Is it something they only do when necessary, or are they always looking for a fight? Is fighting an important part of their life or something they actively try to avoid?

Because Keres is Very Much Blood Legion Charr at the start of the story, she loves to fight. She's very physical in all aspects of her life, even as a necromancer, and she very much starts out as a punch first, ask questions later sort. But! She learns. She goes out into the world and learns that sometimes words are better. And I think, toward where canon is now, she's just. Tired. She's been working hard to unlearn all the Blood Legion Charr stuff, too, so. Yeah.

13. Can they use magic? If yes, what kind? If not, is there a specific reason?

Yes! She's a necro reaper, so she uses death magic like it's second nature to her. She's very comfortable with it. I think she gets MORE comfortable after her own death.

22. What trait lines/specializations do they use? Is there any they can't use for lore reasons?

I haven't played her in a Bit so take this with a grain of salt because my memory is terrible, but I think I have her on minion reaper. I don't remember any other specifics lol. She was the first character I actually attempted to build out AND weave her lore into it, so she's been a minion master since the Fahrar, and spec'ced into reaper because it felt most natural.

Hello Guild Wars 2 community! A new poll has dropped! 🐦‍⬛

(At least, hopefully new, lol.) I'm curious, which blessing did your Commander get on their first/canon go through the Raven Sanctum in the story mission "The Invitation?" Choose and tell me in the tags why they made their specific decisions :)

Compiled explanations from the wiki below for ease of access:

The trial choices in order:

Save the wounded man or save the healers

Save the spell tome or save the historical record

Save the queen or save the prince

Blessings:

Blessing of Daybreak

"When the fear of beastly claws and a child's pain is made sharp by the knowledge of elders, we make no mistakes. But do we grow?"

Healers -> historical record -> prince

Grace of Dawn

"When wisdom is favored in all things—a healing hand, a text of old, a beloved queen—we lose the sharpened sword of the truly bold."

Healers -> historical record -> queen

Consecration of Morning

"We seek to destroy monsters with sharp claws and icy breath, but do we protect ourselves from the beasts shaped like us, who prey on the young and vulnerable, who seek to rule us?"

Healers -> spell tome -> prince

Invocation of Midday

"When we flee from the things we fear most - the teeth of beasts, the storm of a dragon, a change of power-we risk running backward."

Healers -> spell tome -> queen

Supplication of Midday

"We favor the skill of healers and the wisdom of elders over the uncertainty of the future. But the young take chances, and the young push us forward."

Wounded man -> spell tome -> prince

Consecration of Evening

"We long for the comfort of a healing touch, an ancestral word of wisdom, a leader we know and trust. But comfort is fleeting, and with it comes inertia."

Wounded man -> historical record -> queen

Grace of Dusk

"We sacrifice so much—safety from the claws of death, knowledge of the ages, a steadfast reign—to propel ourselves forward. But if we move too fast, do we risk the inability to stop?"

Wounded man -> spell tome -> prince

Blessing of Twilight

"We try so hard to do the right thing. We heal, we protect our people, we preserve stability. But we cannot control how the winds of fate may shift, and a tight grip can sometimes hurt more than it helps."

Wounded man -> spell tome -> queen

HUH?????? Pick your poison I guess???

[feathered-dino]

🖊 Silvi

Silvi Arrowhunter. wolfborn norn but when she was young she hung around the caves in Hoelbrak a little too much and eventually joined the sons of savnir.

When she was older and realized that she was not a boy she was banished from the sons.

she went out into the shiverpeaks to eventually learn how to use the dragons magic to her advantage and formed the Daughters of Jormag. a sons of savnir like group of norn and other races for those loyal to the ice dragon but don't fit into the sons strict criteria.

[wyldblunt]

okay really niche OC chat prompt today but. you know that common trope where a character is transported into an illusory world that shallowly fulfills all their wishes/removes all current conflicts ("oh my god, i'm back home in my warm bed, none of the horrible Plot Events actually happened, my dead loved one is alive and says 'what are you talking about, silly? are you feeling okay? i made breakfast! ^^'", etc), usually as a way to delay them from finding + defeating whoever is making the illusion or whatever

say your commander (or anyone) gets trapped in one of those. how long does it take them to figure out something's wrong (alternately if u have multiple ocs u wanna answer for, rank them from "immediately sniffs it out" to "would blissfully waste away there forever"). extra credit: what's everybody's insidious wish-fulfillment illusion world

For Kara: 3, 8, 17 and 30 👀

Kara-posting?! You do spoil me.

3) Ask them to describe their love interest.

Generally, Kara enjoys tall, well-built men and short, curvy women, ideally at the same time. Her philosophy is, "You seem fun, so let's do this."

I headcanon Norn as being a very hedonistic, sex-positive race, so any opportunity for boasting and amusement is enthusiastically taken.

As for her specific love interest?

“You are the bane of my existence, and the object of all my desires”

8) Do complex puzzles intrigue or frustrate them?

Both. Definitely both. Kara isn't exactly a Taimi-level genius, but she's pretty smart and does enjoy an opportunity to figure something out...

...for about 15 minutes. Then it's getting hit with her axe and that had better fix the problem.

17) Do they like children?

Kara is generally ambivalent about children until she returns from the Domain of the Lost. She'll help 'em out like she'd help anyone, but she's young and busy and not really thinking about it, for the most part. That said, she is a sucker for Charr cubs and young animals. Is it cute and fluffy and likely to bite her hand off? If so, she adores it.

However, one of the many ways death messes with her body is a complete lack of menstrual cycle. Whilst most of her functions return through the latter part of POF, or at least improve, nothing happens in that regard. It leads to her being fairly certain children are off the table for her whether she likes it or not, and it's the lack of choice stirs up some feelings.

Of course, she knows the Commander's lifestyle is not suited to raising children anyway, and for most of the story, it's not something she even considers.

However, when she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant during What Lies Beneath, she is happy. Fearful for the child, and fearful for her mate's reaction when she returns to Hoelbrak, but happy nonetheless.

Needless to say, her mate is happy too, and from then on she makes spending time at home as much of a priority as being the Commander. She might have diplomatic duties, but she's not about to leave Braham to raise their kids alone. It might be the Norn way, but it's not her way.

30) What would they do if they knew it would be forgiven?

Without a doubt, Kara would tell Crecia what Rytlock said about her that night he drank five bottles of Elonian wine and passed out sucking on his own tail.

She might even tell her the bit about the tail.

[scribesofcalamity]

4, 5, 9 for Ion

4.)What are their short term and long term goals?

Ion's short term goal is to catalog any new animal species he can find in Cantha. Long term goals, he wants to release source books focusing on the different species of each continent and area he has traveled too, talking about their behaviors, appearance, unique attributes, etc. He also wants to find a cozy little farm where he and Akula can eventually retire and raise jungle stalker cubs together.

5.)What do they think would fix the current biggest problem they're facing?

Funding and time to track and study animals. Ion is aware he is one asura,and despite his fantastic tracking and ranger skills, it's hard to be everywhere at once.

9.)What is the pivotal moment in their past that led to where they are/what they're like now?

Oh my god oh my god,Ion lore moment. Ion dropped out of College and leaves Rata Sum entirely after a fellow student (Akula,oh my) found the stalker cub he was hiding in his dorm and snarkily said he should have just killed the orphaned animal instead of trying to save it. When he offers to kill it with his Necromancer magic,Ion snaps and punches him in the face. He scoops up his cat and leaves,never looking back.

4.11.17 for Lukas and Yvette pretty please !!!

4. How was their awakening? Did something particular happen? What's their first memory?

Yvette and Lukas caused quite a commotion upon their awakening, being the first set of twins to bloom amongst the Secondborn, and the Firstborn were fascinated with them and how they looked so different despite hailing from the same pod. Yvette woke up a few minutes before their brother, Lukas, and after a quiet introduction they tried to get out of their pod and stand - to which they promptly collapsed.

There was not a single wound on their body, and yet they consistently struggled with dizzy spells and fatigue throughout the day. To this day, they vividly remember the looks they would receive from their older siblings, and the hushed whispers they would get from their fellow Secondborn. As young as they were, they were yet to understand what the others felt and saw, but they would quickly come to realize what it was - pity.

11. Have they ever changed their own appearance? Was it intentional or due to external factors? Did it affect their glow as well? How long did it take? Would they ever change back?

The twins used to be a more saturated brown, with the leaves on their face more reminiscent of early autumn hues and a lovely amber glow, but the warmth in their appearances would not survive their encounter with the Asura. After weeks spent being experimented on, their overall color became more dull and muted, with the leaves on their face faded close to black, and their glow now a deep indigo. Even as they recovered from their injuries after their rescue, their appearance would never go back to the way it used to.

Yvette's glow changes a second time, permanently, upon their death in the Maguuma. Through their hands and up their arms their glow becomes more pastel and tinged with hints of white, more resembling raw ley energy. The rest of their body is still that deep indigo, and at the elbows is where it gradients into this new color scheme.

17. If they were to turn into Mordrem, what would they look like? Would they manage to turn back? / When they turned into Mordrem, how did their appearance change? Did they manage to fully turn back?

If Yvette had been turned into Mordrem, I'm definitely imagining a Vinetooth/centaur situation. They would still have access to their magics and healing, and now have the lower half of a giant and incredibly deadly monster. It's sick as hell. (points at Falin Dungeonmeshi) Like That.

Lukas was technically turned Mordrem, although the change in appearance only affected his wolf form, and he never fell thrall to the dragon. If you took a Vinetooth and smashed it together with a nightmare wolf and threw in extra eyes and mouths you'd probably get something close to what Lukas can shapeshift into. While before he was turned, he was able to change his form at will, Mordremoth's corruption trapped him in this new body for close to a year, between the events of HoT and LWS3; and he was only able to return to his original self upon finding faith in Wolf, with the guidance of a friend (points at @dotmander's August).

12 on the prompts for Canach and Rytlock!

Haha, you know which characters I struggle with. Here you go:

Canach pressed his hands together, touched his index fingers to his lips, and took a deep breath in through his nose. “I’m sorry, what exactly about this do you consider stealthy?”

Rytlock pulled his flaming sword out of the Forged sentry’s corpse with a huff and a painfully loud screech of metal. “He’s dead and there’s no alarm. Looks like stealth to me.”

Canach waved a hand at the front entrance of the massive Forged encampment, which was strewn with dead Forged from wall to flaming wall. “This is not what getting through unnoticed looks like!”

“It does if there’s nobody alive to notice anymore. What do you think I am, Ash Legion?”

Subtlety. Subtlety! This absolute blockhead of a charr with thistle for brains had clearly never heard of it. He might make even Anise burst a blood vessel if she had to work with him. Ahhh… that was actually a lovely image. It soothed Canach enough for him to not start yelling.

“All I am saying is that it would behoove us to play this close to the vest,” he said. “I don’t know exactly what will happen if this entire camp notices us, but I don’t think either of us would like to find out.”

“Oh, I think I would,” Rytlock said, bouncing Sohothin up and down in one hand in a way that made Canach uneasy. Rytlock might not care about singing his perfectly-coiffed fur, but Canach was flammable, thank you very much. “But fine. For the sake of your fragile little twig bones, I’ll try and play it sneaky.”

“My fragile little twig bones and my extremely volatile explosives appreciate it,” Canach said wryly. He hefted his pack and began to make his way towards the nearest door that blocked off the rest of the encampment. If Rytlock wanted loud, he’d show him loud… but in the intelligent manner where they’d be far away from the ensuing commotion.
