Lore Accurate Charr Name #1

Sans Undertale

[mistfallengw2]

Small pet peeve of mine that shouldn't bother me as much as it does: charr players with adverbs in their warband name.

Lore accurate charr name

[imagine-hetalia-countries]

as gw2 but it's their mains

America

Norn because their emotes make him laugh. Their cry is so dramatic. Also, he thinks it's so funny that the men are built like a brick shithouse. he tried to main Warrior but he tried Ranger and it was over from there. he's terrifying when he runs his soulbeast build. WVW king, commands once a week and knows what he's doing. Leads raids and strikes too. Has platinum rank in PVP, he's working on getting legendary. His main uses the "Demigod of the Arena" title

England

Arthur has at least one or two characters of each race but he's low-key obsessed with sylvari. He has like 30. His main is a mesmer, he swaps what elite he's running based on what he's doing. He's casual in wvw and raids, and sometimes does pvp but always turns off chat when he does. He is not good at fighting other players.

France

Francis has two mains based on what he's doing. His PvE main is a norn mesmer. He saw the light armor on norn women and he was weak. He had to. She's mostly virtuoso but he will switch to chrono if he needs to portal people around. His raid and strike main is a charr thief, he will switch elite based on what boss they're facing. But he mostly leaves it on the daredevil "all power all the time" build. Francis will help with fashion wars, he and Kiku are the kings. He never touches WvW or PvP, raids and strikes are as far as he'll go as far as that sort of content because of the skins. He'll pay Alfred to play on his account if he wants a WvW or PvP skin.

Canada

He made a sylvari based on a maple tree as like his third or fourth character. She's a revenant because he thought it was an interesting idea, he just wanted to try it out. he did not mean for her to become his main, but he loves her. He swaps around his elite and his channeled legends based on what he needs and who he's with. He'd be one of the top revenant players if he did competitive play. He knows how to do raids because he helps Alfred lead them.

Russia

Charr mechanist. No, he will not swap elites. He has tried the others as they came out, he didn't really like them as much. Plus he loves giving his mech silly names in Russian. Once its name literally translated to "squish squish". He is constantly playing with fashion, he really likes a lot of pieces of the charr tail clipping through coats drives him insane. He likes being lore accurate to colors, so all his characters' dyes are very natural except for one pop of color. You'll know if he plays a character a lot if they wear one of the scarf skins dyed like his. He doesn't really do raids but he's in a server against Alfred in WvW. When they're both commanding their respective servers, it's all-out war.

China

Yao exclusively plays Asura. No, not even for achievements. Not even for story. He plays Asura. His main is a Soulbeast spec ranger. He has a few legendaries that Kiku helped him make. Never touches PvP or WvW but will do raids if there's a cosmetic he wants. Only does raids with Alfred's raid team.

Germany

Ludwig went basic for his main, it's a human revenant. He's tried to learn to swap legends as well as Matthew does, but he just can't pick up on it, so he mostly runs a condi build using Mallyx and Shiro. He learned to play using a basic build from Matthew, he got kind of babysat at the start of his play since he started after everyone else. It was pretty funny, you'd see Ludwig standing there reading what he's supposed to do with like five rank 300 players standing around him messing around. He's learning to do raids with Alfred and fractals, he hasn't gotten to WvW yet but he'll love it once he does. He's taking it slow.

N. Italy

Bless Feli's heart, he's so casual. Only plays in PvE, kinda has a terrible build, but he has fun so that's what matters. He's tried playing everything but he has the most fun with his sylvari elementalist. He loosely based him on a white lily, it's not exact and he realized it later, so he's not to fussed if people don't see it. He loves doing fashion wars and all his characters are brightly colored. He knows the best places for pictures though, if you need fancy shots of your characters, Feliciano will show you the best.

S. Italy

On the other hand, Lovi will do everything even if he's not good at it. He has a really annoying hit-and-run build for WvW. He mains a sylvari thief. Loosely based on tomato, and he begrudgingly agreed with Feli to make their mains twins in their own story. He is really good at his builds after a bit of practice, but getting him to pay attention during raids is like pulling teeth. Unless its a boss he really wants something from.

Japan

He considers his cherry blossom sylvari necro his main. But only because she's got the most ascended and legendary armor so she's the one he can do the most content on. He helps others make legendaries and knows what achievements give ascendeds. He is one of the regulars in Alfred's raid team. His fashion wars is on point, he has a different outfit for every build so you can tell what he's running by looking at him. Mans even has the permanent hairstyle kit so he changes her hair pretty often too.

Prussia

Gilbert tries everything. Every combo. His favorite that he kinda defaults to at this point is his fem norn warrior. He loves the heavy armor on her. He loves bladesworn. It's not even a thing of wanting to look at boobs or butt, he just straight up loves how the armor looks. He's always fiddling with it whenever a new skin comes out, Francis usually helps him a bit. He's a casual PvPer but a very serious raider and WvWer. He's always joining Alfred for raids if he has nothing else going on. He's been babysitting Ludwig through level 80 content.

Austria

Roderich doesn't play often so he doesn't have many skins unlocked. He hasn't even hit level 80. He kept deleting and remaking his character until he found a combo he liked, which ended up being Asura Mesmer. He's mad that mesmers don't have warhorn as an elite weapon option. The only skins he has a complete collection of are the orchestral weapons. He randomly appears online, does a little bit of content, then disappears. If someone whispers him, he won't even talk to them. He's been mistaken for a bot because of this.

okay tags wont be enough so heres a post about my naming method.

short version: lore friendly, keysmash, fantasynamegenerators.com, other languages, they just come to me

long version:

generally firstnames often just come to me. i do try to make sure theyre lore accurate though

fantasynamegenerators.com is my best friend for general inspiration but i never really just take a name from there without changing it at least a bit. i use it mostly for asura and charr name inspiration

for sylvari i just put together random letters until it sounds good- sometimes they get a last name that they gave themselves/earned (such as Rian Starbloom, a name he took as he lives among humans and wanted to adapt to their firstname-lastname naming scheme)

my sylvari also often get names that i then shorten (Daeonna is usually Dae, Merrydan is Mer, and i dont even remember Rye's full name)

asura usually are also just letters smashed together, and they usually get titles (Arachnologist Kiko, Pirate Captain Iz, Iira The Cruel)

When it comes to last names, i really like using the typical fantasy word-word last name. sometimes i just decide that the characters family simply has a super sick last name (Dean Skygleam- thats just what his family is called idc) and sometimes these surnames are titles/names they gave themselves (Astrid Gunbjornsdottir becoming Astrid Gloryforge, Ambrosius Wolf becoming Ambrose Wolfsbane, Nakayama Junko becoming Junko Haloglow)

sometimes my characters keep their "normal" surname (Nadira Hinnawi, Léa Grey, Liang Haoyu, Luna Montenero, Kang Eunji, Liv Sylvasdottir)

when i started playing and was 12 years old i did not care about lore accurate names and just went for whatever felt cool in the moment. im starting to do that again because being 20 is the same as being 12.

i wanna start a bullshit series in this blog that's just called "Lore Accurate Charr Names"...

i remember seeing a post a long time ago about sappho kissgirls being lore accurate and i've been thinking about technically-lore-accurate names ever since
