Mr Tryphon answerrrr, 78, 52 and 53?

78: how emotionally stable is your character

“Look when you are a pirate captain- or well, a GOOD pirate captain you need to be emotionally stable. I work both the seas and the mists and both have their problems to solve. You need a good mind to move with the currents that doesnt destroy your people, you need to be a battle strategist and play your cards right to make sure you have as little desths as possible. You need to do a lot more accounting too…the sharing of money and making sure my pirates have a pool of money set for them if they become injured and cant work anymore. you cant be unhinged when your vying for a vote among the crew and being a stable force is a good thing in your ship” he then smiles, mischievousness in his eyes

“although some asura and a certain Evon Gnashblade would probably consider me violently unstable from my what my wanted posters say”

52: what is your characters worst flaw

“When I was a pirate my worst flaw was my softness. You may be able to tell but most pirates around work with kidnapping, ransom, and killing of innocents and i refuse to do that. Sure it can be admirable to the people who stand behind me but to some its a missed opportunity. But ive experience and I do not want to sell anyone to slavery or experimentation. And the other pirates know ill make their deaths slow for their actions if they come across me.”

He lays back and sips his wine and then sighs as he feels his bad back “but now that im landlocked its probably my slippery fingers and stubbornness to not be some puppet for the legions while im mated with a Primus. Cant be a pirate without being antiestablisment! I still fucking fought in that war though… not for what was left of. My mates blood legion’s sake but because i wanted to make sure my two boys were safe. I hate wars. ”

(What he doesnt say is that its because of this kindness he lost his whole crew from a fatal betrayal)

53: what is your characters great strength

Tryphon gives a smile and raises his cup. He then downs the whole thing in one gulp

“The same thing that could be seen as a flaw in the pirate world. My kindness and generosity. I have an allyship with the sylvari, i had loyal sailors in my heyday. I took care of my crew and we had fun doing it. We parties and id donate to the people suffering the most” he purrs and bows his head, flashing his golden capped fangs when he stands up to get another glass.

Quintilius The Heart (or Heartripper)

Born: 1298

Height: 6'3"

Coming from a long line of Ash legion Torturers since Kala’s days, his narcissistic dame was ashamed she had a cub with a gladium, hiding the pregnancy and leaving quint to a fahrar only a week after his birth. He would eventually be picked up by her again when he was only 8 and would train as she had in the field that the bloodline has worked in for decades.

Cursed to go beserk when smelling blood by his mother as she died, beliving he would turn into a flame legioner like his spy father, he lost his position in the ash legion but would be picked up by the blood legion as a soldier. He rose to the ranks quick, becoming a centurion due to his skillful tactics and the fact he made sure as many, preferably all, soldiers came back from missions. He was also known for sleeping around. A lot.

If it hadnt been for a mission he was given due to the fact he was one of the more…charismatic and lesser threatening charr he most likely would have retired as a primus or commit suicide but destiny and greater forces had something else in mind. He was assigned to be a bodygaurd and tour guide for a kodan who said he was a Voice that came to the citadel in hope for help.  The two of them instantly hitting it off, quint being knowledgeable and open while Stray Cry would give affection he would never seen.  Smodur would even give the voice a small warband, quints warband. This charr who slept around, drank, and even in his youth did drugs, only wanted to be loved unconditionally and he had found it with Stray Cry and his Claw of Koda Stoic Mountain.

By the present day in Guild Wars 2, Quintilius fully lives with the kodan, having retired from the legions after a traumatic event with his father and the battle to death. Quint won and had no reason left to be tied to the legions, being an outcast since he was a cub. Being Nonbinary and having fun with the bears using potions, quint has 4 cubs, each snowy white, looking like kodan, but with two sets of ears and eventually growing horns. he hopes his hands will never be forced to teach them his bloodlines work.  Regardless, while it took awhile for the kodan to fully accept him and years of learning traditions and religious text, Quint is happily accepted into the sanctuary, which was thankfully lax beforehand anyway. He is called The Heart- mostly because without him the Claw and Voice would have continued to have issues reconnecting and has been a valuable member of the community.

Tryphon Mistsail

Born: 1289

Height: 10’

His mother, a blood legion soldier, dissented from the legions to become a pirate after falling in love with a human. Pregnant, she ended up having a son who would grow up on the pirate ship, taking her warband name as his last name.  Untill he was a older child he loved it, he had a friend, a mute human girl, who with her parents helped make a sign language for, and had a few other friends who were also born among these ships. His life became a lot more unfortunate when he was 8 untill he was 15 when things turned around. he decided to be the captain of his own ship, telling this to his mother and the current captain.  He would be scoffed at but given a small boat as long as they kept as business partners. An asura, curious about how everything would go down, ended up joining the three man ship consisting of a gigantic charr and his mute human friend. Being a gaurdian at this time and his co-captain being a necromancer, proficient with minions, they fumbled their way onto a ship carrying second born sylvari. Now tryphon has rules… They dont steal from the obvious poor, they leave civilians, and absolutely, no matter what, they do not traffick living beings. And the very fact that these asura were doing just that made him rage. He would storm the ship unexpecting such a attack from such a small group of people and he would be the one to come out alive. He still has many sylvari friends and has ties with the bank at the grove because of this.

Now days, a revenant, he goes between stealing from those participating in the mist wars, stealing from the rich and wealthy in elona, selling remade goods at cheap prices to the poor, and making Evon furious with the missing cargo.

How long will his reign as a mighty pirate last though…? when will he let his gaurd down and lose his ship and crew?

(*He has two plot versions.. one he meets Velak of @follow-the-velak after his ship is ambushed and hes the only one left alive and the other he continues pirating untill the day he dies)

Uriah Cloudpaw

Born: 1304

height: 6’

An Albino Charr with no magic… The last thing his father, a mesmer flame legion shaman wanted. His father was a ash legion soldier born in grothmar who, with his partner in crime, killed his own warband to gain power and fame within the flame legion. Issue is he kept having girls and wanted to continue his bloodline and prove he was able to be part of what he tried so hard to be. The mother of this child would be banished, working as a cleaner and a secret midwife when she could.  She would eventually lose her arms for helping mothers hide and send away themselves and their children. Meanwhile uriahs father, still with no luck, would appoint Uriah to train under a builder in the flame citadel. He was taught how to weld and make flame effigies but Uriah and his peers, born into gaherons ruling and harsher attacks from the other legions started to whisper of rebellion. They wanted equality like the rest of the legions…and when the legions and humans cease fired they wanted to join back up- repent for their past travesties and unite again so they could stop being killed just for who they were born under.

Helping head the rebellion, uriah and his friends did just that days after gaheron was killed but not enough people backed them up and their rebellion was squashed…uriah being the only one left alive due to his father, though badly scarred and having three of his horns broken, as a reminder of his place. His mother would beg him to leave because if the flame legion didnt lynch him for what he did, the rest of the charr will kill them till every last one of them was dead anyway

Uriah, with his mothers help, would run away and join the pact. He was shy, feeling out of place with his dialect and only knowing how to speak tyrian but not write it he would quietly find his place as a welder due to the fact he was unafraid of heights and was quite good at his job. On his days off he would make his mother replacement arms- ones that would work better for her that he would send away with letters whenever his Fathers best friend came by the check on him.  he even practiced his effigy making- trying to make them into suits similar to the asuran golems. For his father.. he had a sniper rifle being made, testing out bullets to make sure that once shot you lose your ability to use magic, even just temporarily.

Now in guild wars 2 he is in a poly relationship with the pact commander and his sylvari partner. He still welds and helps build things on the side and upon the news of his fathers best friends death he knew it was time to end his fathers life, knowing that he was one of the few shaman trying to keep the rank and order of gaherons ways. He would even be approached by crecias intelligence subordinates, his name being known for trying to do what she would succeed in the future. He would even help out in the end happy to see that some shamans had come to their senses and wished to see their daughters be treated equally too and to not be killed.  Now, feeling betrayed thinking   Bangar was talking about One Charr to help unite the legions again with the flame legions but instead using it to make more renegades he feels personally ashamed and angry, joining the his commander boyfriend in his fight for once.

Bao I want to hear more about Tryphon!!!! What's his vibe when you're playing through the story with him? How does such a scoundrel mesh w/ the commander role?

he sadly isnt my commander but honestly he has a robin hood complex and the ability to command people that would make him a good contender in a way. The second he makes his mind about someone he will either be a amazing friend who will fiercely protect you and heal you or he will end your life mercilessly if he doesn't like you. You break one of his personal morals you would feel the biggest of his wrath- he made an example to his crew when one of his own had tried to do human trafficking for a lot of money and his punishment was to be drawn and quartered and displayed.

He actually has quite a few connections with the sylvari, including crewmates, because he would help them when the asuras really wanted to use them in experiments. He calls himself co-captain since he founded it with a human necromancer who he grew up and was best friends with. He knows sign language because of it.

the story i do have for him is one with @follow-the-velak​ where one night while ransacking the mists (as a revenant he can use energy to teleport them between the two, his ship being made for both water and air thanks to a asura who followed him out of curiosity when he started his own ship.) and overnight while he was sleeping they were ambushed (unknown to him, he was betrayed by someone who had become a lover for him)

Velak would find him among dead bodies, the only one still breathing but badly injured and close to death. Despite tryphon begging to die with his crew Velak saves his life. He would fall in love with the human and his charr lover Naresh, no longer being a pirate but... still a petty thief often stealing things in the black citadel if it caught his eye and he liked it enough. He likes his gold and his rubies so you better keep a close eye on your jewelry...

He even got arrested in lions arch where hes HIGHLY wanted because of the fact he loots black lion a lot and has been known to kill guards who think they could get it back. Due to his relationship with velak though he decided to do it the official way and use the large sum of money that he had in a Grove bank account to pay for his jail time and to keep him from being put behind bars unless caught again... (if velak wasnt there he would have just broken out)  

The whisper agent Aureum in Nareshes warband would eventually corner the charr and get him to agree to helping out the pact with refugees and the awakened in elona as he had gone through there plenty of times for ‘trade’ in their ports. He would help the best he could and even help give supplies to the pact while keeping on the downlow from joko.

in a sweet wedding ceremony like way he would change his last name ( “last name” and not warband name due to the fact he grew out of the legions and just took his mothers warband name “Mistsail”... )to mistblade, having rings for himself, naresh, and velak. 

though unknowingly it would link him to the Blade Warband officially as he had signed paper work he didnt read- thinking this was similar to how lions arch did wedding and mateship ceremonies (therefore a sworn in Blade Warband Member) and he would find himself having to participate in Civil war which makes his stomach turn because his blood legion mother had left the legions because of war. (like ryt and logan they found themselves together in a predicament pre-treaty and the two had fallen in love and ran away to be pirates together instead. She was a medic).

Though even if he feels dirty for it he is probably perfect for the civil war since he doesnt really have any connections to potential dominion charr. He doesnt potentially have cubs he taught in the fahrar on the other side like naresh, or brutal memories of a war against his own home like velak, a ebonhawk native. But with his mothers helmet on, he may run into someone who mistakes him for her. He just may meet her warband or even his sire who doesnt even know he had a son. But we will see i havent decided yet if that happens or not.
