#gw2 spellbreaker

[ohpollenpowder]

lmao I was dragging my feet on doing this. Spent hours on Wuthering Waves... Then spent hours in Guild Wars 2... I just...kinda dreaded going back into Photoshop. Hilariously, Cala's post is very purple. Just like her!

378 hours and 42 minutes for her twelfth birthday. I was tempted to finally change her armor up but couldn't find anything that I liked that screamed Cala. So she stays the same for a little while longer. The song choice though... I will say that I've always thought of Cala whenever this song plays.

[twilightdomain]

i dont draw detailed enough to make it not just look as if i cant google what knives look like. and also i havent fine tuned the timeline of her figuring out her technique specifically enough to know when they have it made, besides Definitely after omadd's machine and Maybe after talking to sunspears. BUT in my head the blade of wolfie's dagger is similar to

ID: the blade of a scalpel type seam ripper, which has one curved point and a sharp edge only on the short inner side of the curve. end ID

—with like a handguard

which is i think probably really shit for attacking a person's body with but fine for parrying and great for severing and tearing through magic the same way you'd use that 👆

[mistfallengw2]

Zehmik met his first in-game death in WvW. He managed to escape it once at bay by jumping in the water when the assault failed, but he valiantly fell a month later, caught by the enemy during the retreat from another failed assault at the garrison, as he tried to help the rear of the line o7 After that, he went with a small group to assault (the other) bay and kill the lord, but they had just gotten to him when defenses arrived. He still jumped into the water to escape.

Perfectly fits with the vague ideas I had for his first times in the Mist War, AND I guess at this point that he's a very good swimmer. I mean, he was a pirate for a while before that...

gw2 oc masterlist

something like the swtor one - a very brief, very non-exhaustive introduction to each

main crew:

pleurri - commander, priory, champion of aurene - mirage

asuran scholar turned priory researcher, after the colleges' back-stabbing and competition became less and less to her liking. frequently summons her own clones just to talk to, a socially anxious wreck that ended up in a position of leadership she was never meant for when mordremoth arose. with the care of aurene now her responsibility, she rose to the challenge and carried out the path of the champion.

taior voth - commander, vigil - firebrand

the dream always meant for him to be a leader, a protector, a healer, but fate had other plans. lost in the tangled depths after the destruction of the pact fleet, he took a back seat after a painful recovery. reunited after the destruction of the twin dragons, he and pleurri are more of one mind than ever - and they have each others' backs.

side characters:

kiyo kanai - whispers - daredevil & deadeye

criminal scum, street rat - they made many ill-advised choices before finally being caught. leveraging their skills, they negotiated a release to join the order of whispers, where they excelled - and were eventually admitted to the shining blade. with cantha reconnected, they're seeking out particular new interests in the region, including some personal questions as to their ancestry.

saga stormslayer - reaper

a shepherd in the shiverpeaks, away from civilization raising goats and dolyaks, saga led a quiet life until a svanir attack ended her life... and she reawoke, some days later, with new powers and the distant memory of someone in the mists sending her back. she and marad set out from their destroyed homestead to find the person who'd saved her, and try to figure out how she returned.

marad warweaver - specter

an ash legion elementalist, her magic began to wane, growing too unreliable to count upon. frustrated, she left, resigning her position and risking being branded a gladium, and went north where she met saga and the two formed a deep bond. with the help of the raven shaman, she was able to learn a new type of magic, but it wasn't enough when the svanir arrived. despite burying her, saga arose and brought with her more questions than answers, and a new focus for the two.

syvva vlok - renegade & herald

the mists were always an interest of hers, one that made her greatly successful - and always kept her pushing for more. when an experiment led to her falling into the mists, she had to quickly learn to survive with the aid of a long-dead charr warband. manipulating the mists came easily to her, and more than once she sent back wayward spirits, not knowing she was returning them to tyria. her eventual escape landed her in the crystal desert, but in her time away much has changed - and she's in for a rude awakening.

marsus ruincatcher - spellbreaker

blood legion aren't typically known for their intellect, but marsus was perhaps an exception. tired of the battlefield, he joined the priory and devoured the knowledge there, becoming both a stalwart protector and a keen mind in the fight against the dragons. when his wounds from mordremoth's attack never fully healed, he took on the role of caretaker instead - looking out for other wounded pact soldiers, and living a more peaceful existence.

[tbd]

julian frei - elementalist

a healer by trade, the vigil soldier was left to try and keep as many alive as he could when the pact fleet fell. struggling with the effort and the memories, he spends most of his time drowning his mind or following after marsus. aimless, he finds a hint of purpose when an unfamiliar sylvari shows up on their doorstep.

calastris - scrapper & mechanist

she awoke on the run, halfway out of the depths of the maguuma jungle, the echo of a dangerous voice in her mind. straight across tyria, she built tools and weapons from scraps, trying to place as much distance between herself and the remnants of the voice, until she ran into marsus and julian deep in ascalon. clothing and feeding the sapling, they found the odd sylvari doesn't speak and avoids eye contact - but with her contraptions, determination to learn, and an unexpected cheerfulness, she manages to communicate regardless.

ahnwyl - untamed

what do you do when your dream is about someone else? left aimless after fulfilling his purpose, and bitter that his entire existence is meant for someone who doesn't want him, he trails after dragon's watch, causing as many problems as he clears.

dexion theta - holosmith

an inquest experiment in cloning turned sideways when he escaped, one of many copies set himself loose upon the world. injured in the escape but smart enough to take care of himself, dexion took to freedom with enthusiasm - and a particular love of setting things on fire.

[tbd]

fable frostsong - bladesworn

[tbd]

nameless victor - willbender

[tbd]

withering nettle - vindicator

[tbd]

citra emberclaw - weaver

[tbd]

hadrais - soulbeast

[tbd]

tlishi - berserker

[whitefangz]

inspired by @spartalabouche i wanted to make a little masterpost of my gw2 characters

jynx ghoststep / she/her / thief (daredevil)

jynx is a middle-aged ash legionnaire and reluctant pact commander. her warband has shrunk in recent years but they are still close nonetheless. jynx has a lot of regrets and struggles under the weight of them and also her incomprehensible amount of responsibilities. she is kind of shockingly average once you get past all of her achievements and would really like a break, for once in her life

laika blindwraith / she/they / revenant (renegade)

estranged daughter of the pact commander, laika is a rather impulsive and hotheaded blood legionnaire (aspiring centurion). she is in a warband with her littermate brother and several other younger charr and resents her mother deeply for many reasons including not contacting her until adulthood and being bothered to raise TWO dragons but not her own children. she needs therapy so bad but resorts to talking to kalla scorchrazor in her head and being angry

harrow heartrender / she/her/whatever / necromancer

harrow is a retired ash legion centurion and current hermit who moved to cantha the second it was feasible for her to do so. she is jynx's mother and laika and kyrr's grandmother but she wishes they would all stop trying to contact her. she wants to sit in a cave and fish for the rest of her life and die surrounded by flesh minions

kyrr wraithsight / he/him / guardian

more teddy bear than fighter, kyrr was dragged into his sister's warband at a young age and has spent his entire life making sure she doesn't get herself killed. he has a healthier relationship with their mother and hopes that one day all of them will get along normally

ryker hailsplitter / she/they / warrior and freak

ryker is a member of the iron legion's hail warband and spends most of her days peacefully tinkering with machines. that is, until her legionnaire decided they would follow bangar ruinbringer into war. ryker ends up being forced to become frost legion but survives the entire ordeal

tsaraya / she/her / ranger

this was actually my first ever gw2 character but i just haven't done a ton with her. she is a gladium. i might make her olmakhan in some capacity, i don't know yet! i like her design though :)

bonus cringe one under the cut

corrin / she/they / warrior (spellbreaker)

they are putting me down next week cuz i put my little guy into this universe too. anyway i don't have anything super concrete i think she would be born in kryta but her parents would be like ambassadors to elona or something and as a result would spend a lot of time traveling abroad. no dragon powers or anything. just some guy

[tricos-here]

I think you always have such cool gw2 characters, is there any you wanted to talk about?

och thank you 🧘 uhm... I suppose I haven't really talked about nikita and aki a whole lot, nikita being his younger sister

they were elonian nobles whose family was cut down by joko because they were sunspear sympathizers, nikita and aki managed to survive the attack thanks to the help of some guards though they were separated, supposedly for their own safety. aki ended up being raised in a farm in kourma while nikita was raised in a temple of balthazar, where she became a priestess for him

aki would at some point join the order of shadows where he'd quickly raise through the ranks and become a redeemer and during s4 would form a special task force in which they'd utilize the newly discovered skyscales

nikita for her part would've joined the zhaishen order where she met and became friends with zafirah. during the events of path of fire, she'd question balthazar's actions and even renounce him, but she still followed zafirah and even helped her carry out his will, however reluctant

aki and nikita reunited just before pof after years of being raised apart and though their familial bond held still, they didn't really see eye to eye, mostly due to the disdain of nikita towards the order of shadows and their cowardly conduct of keeping the status quo instead of helping people

uhm other lil tidbits, aki's skyscale is named abha, and nikita had a tigris griffon named na'ilah as well as a tiger named raafe. aki is a deadeye thief and nikita is a spellbreaker warrior

I only have crusty outdated screenshots of them because I'm on my phone but one day.... I'll draw them properly

[commanderhorncleaver]

have 1, 3, 5, and 7 from the gw2 ask game for whoever you most feel like answering them for! :) @kerra-and-company

Your character is now the leader of their species, whatever that looks like for them (Arcane Councilmember, Imperator, Royalty, etc). How do they govern and what sorts of changes would they make if any?

Imperator Horncleaver :). I've talked about it a good bit, but Gaius' intentions for Iron largely involve trying to temper the war machine and expose charr to other possibilities. He'd like to make the barriers between legions more malleable, make it so charr are more exposed to the other races, things like that. I think his relationship to the other Imperators (Crecia and Efram in particular) could help with this, and then his former position as Pact Commander as well.

3. What person impacted them the most?

Oddly enough, likely Trahearne--giving Gaius the opportunity and exposure to learn how bad the charr mentality is is what makes him fundamentally different from any other soldier, because without that, he buys into the propaganda machine just as much as anyone else.

5. What would they look like as the side character in someone else's story?

I like to toy around with these aus where he's not commander somewhat often--my favorite right now is Scratch!AU where his daughter with Efram in the normal story is instead the commander, and he is in turn her son with Rytlock (about the same age as Ryland). The big situation with these aus is that like, Gaius as an Iron Legion soldier is very unlikely to change if he stays in the Legion, so there are a lot of ways to go about shifting him around, for example, him being unable to reenlist and staying gladium when he's in his early 20s.

7. Do they have any skills or abilities that their class wouldn't normally have/just go about their class differently in some kind of way?

Gaius' being a spellbreaker who is a mage whose magic allows him to copy or leech off of others' magic is pretty fun in that there's a lot of fun ways to play with it. I imagine his core weaponskills are largely the same dual knife/ knife-sword as they are in game, except when he interrupts a mage, he steals their magic, making them unable to use their profession mechanics while replacing his own with theirs (ie replacing his counters with a virtuoso's bladesongs). It'd last similarly to Firebrand's tome page usages.

[ohpollenpowder]

I can't remember if I'd ever sat in these before next to the crafting stations.

[mollish-art]

Thought I’d post some screenshots of my Guild Wars 2 mains!

First is my Commander, Cypra Oakheart - an Ash hunter who picked up some tricks from the Flame Legion, and later refined her soulbeast skills with the Olmakhan! She’s also the first character I ever created in GW2 when I started playing 8 years ago :)

Next is Arakari Goldrender, a truly massive Blood Legion spellbreaker and gladium. Her warband defected during the Charr civil war to Bangar’s side, but Arakari remained loyal to the Commander, changing her armor dyes from gold and red to gold and teal in support of Aurene.

Here’s a couple bonus screens: the Commander having tea with Rama, his majestic hat, and best-character-ever Gorrik

And Arakari doing what she does best: waiting in line at the DMV and intimidating bureaucrats!

I also have a BUNCH of other max level Charr characters that I still play frequently - I might post about them later :)

back from the dead with 2 commanders excited for end of dragons!!!

[ draw your otp meme by @snuffysbox ]

[mollish-art]

My main Commander, Cypra Oakheart (the very first gw2 character I ever made 10 years ago), is ~38 in the present story (at the time of posting this, 1336AE), so that would make her around 27 at the start of the personal story. She spent her early life growing up with the Flame Legion, but due to their misogynistic practices she became a deserter (inspired by Kalla Scorchrazor), and joined the Ash Legion as a spy. From there the events of the personal story and expansions play out as usual, but when Cypra meets the Olmakhan tribe, she bonds with them over their shared past with the Flame Legion. She stays with them for a while and incorporates some sandshifting techniques into her soulbeast fighting style, which she's been using ever since (hence the Olmakhan horns). During the events of the Icebrood Saga she began to bond with Efram Greetsglory over their shared goal of reforming the Flame Legion towards a better future. As a result, she began to re-integrate some Flame-Legion inspired armor pieces and weaponry back into her wardrobe, although her fighting style remains mostly inspired by the Olmakhan techniques.

My oldest alt is definitely Akhthis Raysight - an Iron Legion gladium who became a revenant. I'm not sure how old charr can become, but if they have the same lifespan as a human, I'd say he's about the same age Almorra Soulkeeper was when she died at the end of the Icebrood Saga (my estimate is ~60 years old).

Despite his status as a gladium, he's incredibly well-respected and was a highly sought-out mentor by soldiers in the Black Citadel (regardless of their Legion affiliation). He is usually quite quiet and reserved, but cares deeply about honor and trust. In my mind, he actually acted as Cypra's mentor when she first came to seek refuge at the Black Citadel, and he recommended her to Tribune Torga Desertgrave.

My youngest alt is definitely Arakari Goldrender - a gargantuan beast of a Blood Legion spellbreaker. She's only about 25 in the present day - still just a cub at the start of Cypra's personal story. She is incredibly sweet to those who know her, but to strangers can come across as being one of the the most intimidating soldiers this side of the Brand. Despite her youth, she is a skilled weapons master who never shies away from the front lines. Arakari is incredibly loyal to her Legion, but looks up most of all to the Commander, and is eager to prove herself.

Long story short, after musing about some things, I'm curious about the age of people's Commanders, so poll time it is!

Sorry for excluding sylvari, but they're by default in the younger range (the oldest at that point would barely reach their 20s) and they'd skew the results ;; Feel free to add an (non-sylvari!) OC that is the closest thing to a Pact Commander you have (co-commanders, successors, mentees, that weird dude following them around everywhere, etc), as long as they're active in the Pact during the personal story!

Aurelia is only 36 years old by the start of the game (48yo in current story), but I feel like she's still one of the oldest Commanders I've seen around. And by all means, lemme see your not-young Commanders! Let's have them get together and complain about their backs hurting or something! 👀

ART of GUILD WARS 2 Professions - 3x3 Official Art The Warrior / Berserker / Spellbreaker /

Warriors are masters of weaponry who rely on speed, strength, toughness, and heavy armor to survive in battle. Adrenaline fuels their offensive power—the longer warriors stay in a fight, the more dangerous they become.

Channeling their adrenaline to enter a berserk mode. While enraged, they gain access to new primal burst, which offer new ways to gain adrenaline, that flying into a frenzy is never far away.

The broken weapons of the Sunspears have become daggers in the hands of their descendants, which they use to strike at the very fabric of magic and strip it from their foes. They meditate to see past their enemies' defenses, and they use their adrenaline to counter attacks.
