Silver warband: Iron legion who creatively named themselves after a colour of metal.

Cadira Silverflux - Flux because he's a mesmer and a bit of a trickster who enjoys playing tricks with his clones. Also a joke on electrical flux, which is the measure of strength of an electric field through a space, even though the field doesn't actually flow.

Cadfael Silverfrost - Minor necromancy often felt cold/chilling. Her bandmates also sometimes joke that she can seem cold/aloof to others when really she's just focusing on something.

Rylix Silverflame - Partially to match with his twin's Silverfrost, partially because he is prone to anger issues, partially because he likes working with machines as an engineer.

Antares Silverstrike - Has the highest strength in the warband by far. (In-game, he's Antares Jomuer, Jomuer being the name of a fictional red star, like the star Antares)

Nasius Silverline - Pun on the phrase 'silver lining' as she's generally an optimist.

Vachel Quicksilver - He's very fast and a daredevil (in personality. He's actually a very quick deadeye). Also for the pun, though I wouldn't describe him as particularly mercurial.

Mira Silvertail - Ranger! And also because her tail is naturally gray compared to the rest of her.

Star warband: Star students in their fahrar, later becoming an elite strike team of their own. Upon realising they all had 5 letter first names they also went with 5 letter surnames.

Kaden Starsight: Warband's scout with keen vision, and later, fitting as she becomes a revenant.

Zaera Starskred: Used to be something basic like Starblade (though it's still pretty cool) but changed it after a norn taught her how to do an ambush using an avalanche. Also because some of her actions kickstart, a lot of things happening differently to canon in her timeline.

Ryker Starflare - Very shiny tank who draws attention to himself and uses guardian and light magic to keep it that way.

Tersi Starskite - Daredevil who avoids and deflects lots of things. Has a disconcertingly easy time avoiding attention despite not using magic at all.

Acyra Starshawl - Known for a specific piece of clothing that contains a working invisibility charm about half the time. Also because her attention to detail/coordination tends to blanket a large swath of ground.

Sky warband: Iron legion warband based around developing/piloting aircraft.

Tailon Skyshift - Emergency teleportation/safety specialist.

Rinclex Skyblast - you know, someone with that surname should probably not be the legionnaire but here we are. Usually good at fixing the consequences of things going wrong. Also named for his stunning personality.

Grave Warband: They just thought it sounded neat.

Nuvia Snowgrave - Ironically, was originally part of the Snow warband, and bounced from warband to warband until some charr with a sense of humour decided to reassign her to the Grave warband.

Cenoxi Shallowgrave - He's a necromancer with a hell of a lot of death magic in him and has come back to life, so.

Other charr:

Vertis Forgefever - Forge warband, a warband working at the Black Citadel's smelter. Used to be in a different warband before Flame Legion Reasons and he left them.

Kolya Twiceforged - Was added to her friends's Forged warband after her old warband all died. Previously Tinkertwice, of the Tinker warband, due to being a meticulous engineer and also a mesmer.

Versira Nightrise - Night warband, she wanted to pun on 'sunrise' and did not entirely succeed. Also bc she gravitates to high places. Her legionnaire however will 100% say that she's named that for her ability to annoy people.

Finally, Denara Stormdelver (Storm warband), and Avry Triplestrike (Ash legion, not sure which warband) who I haven't given name lore to yet.

ok lore question for people with charr characters because ir eally want to know: what is their surname, what warband are they apart of, and what meaning does the surname have?

Rylix Silverflame naming his mech Mica Silverward after his bandmates, Cadira and Mira, is a prime example of con-cat-and-nation.

[fractal-quadrilioquy]

So I was thinking about Mira and Nasius, as I am wont to do (and who I can actually make now I have the character slots! (sorry vachel you don't get real boy priveleges yet)) and realised that Mira, Nasius, Antares, Vachel, and Cadira, all have a sort of rhythm or dance-like movements that're part of their attacks (untamed hammer bonks, holosmith sick flips, axe/gunblade spinny spins, daredevil sick flips, mirage sick flips--)

And then you have the twins whose fighting style consists of 'deploy a bunch of little things to rally around and shoot people until they stop moving.'

It is eminently clear that these cats named themselves after a colour and not a metal that has any substantial use in warfare.
