Hi I’m Connor! I’ve been playing Guild Wars 2 since the 2020 pandemic with my husband and my sibling. I love talking about cool world lore, headcanons and going feral over my OCs. I’m currently in the process of teaching myself to draw, mostly so I can draw asura making out. I recently created a side blog for my side blog to put more adult stuff on, it’s @commander-coppercock Feel free to say hi!
Character/Timeline list:
Alpha timeline:
My oldest, longest running Commander storyline. Bertram “Bertie” Coppercogg (Scrapper, my character), a golemancer trying to move beyond the notorious legacy of his older brother, meets Syrryl Silverset, (Deadeye, my husband’s character), an Arcane Eye assassin with a device in his head that lets him view sheer probability. Over the course of the Dragon Cycle, raising Aurene together and accidentally getting their souls bonded in Omadd’s machine, the Commander and his Shadow end up in a decade’s long slow burn romance, finally realizing their mutual feelings in Icebrood Saga. Now post End of Dragons, Syrryl is (mostly) retired while Bertie is attempting to move beyond the title of Commander. This is made all the more difficult when Bertie is taken to the Wizard’s Tower, somewhat against his will, for over a year as well as the recent introduction of Cosmomancer Gwynn (Evoker, my husband’s character), a civil servant of the Arcane Council who has taken an interest in both Syrryl and Bertie. Currently going through Janthir Wilds and excitedly looking forward to Visions of Eternity.
Beta timeline:
Follows Wynoc Burntrazor (Renegade, my character), an unknowing Mordrem discovered by an Ash Legion warband in Iron Marches and raised as one of their own. Initially torn between his charr and sylvari heritages, Wynoc is pushed to fulfill the role of Pact Commander. However he soon hands the “honor” over to his eventual best friend, a middle aged, former Vigil solider named Warmaster Orrin (Guardian, my husband’s character). Orrin, known for his decades of experience on the battlefield as well as his questionable relationship with one Rytlock Brimstone, is more than happy to accept and Wynoc is much happier as his right hand man. Currently in Living World Season 3, though we have stuff scripted up to the end of Icebrood Saga.
Gamma timeline:
Story play through of me and my sibling’s characters. College drop out Bjazz (Holosmith, my sibling’s character) becomes the commander and explores Tyria with her older brother Archaeologist Biarr (Virtuoso/Chronomancer, my character), a leading member of the Durmand Priory and possible member of the Wizard’s Tower. They occasionally have run ins with Newtt Finknottle (Specter, my husband’s character), a bookkeeper for the Inquest. Currently in Path of Fire.
Delta timeline:
Originally started as a role swap AU for Alpha timeline and got out of hand. Fractalist Syrryl (Mesmer, my husband’s character) becomes the commander while Bastion Zhivv (Warrior, my character, Bertie under a different, more asura name) struggles to extricate himself from High Councilor Haia’s control. Currently around base game level 30.
Miscellaneous characters:
Wardd- a socially anxious Elementalist that ends up joining the Vigil during a gap year from the College of a Synergetics.
Alienist Chipp- a Willbender and former Pact member that left the organization due an injury sustained during the Mordremoth campaign. Currently living in Rata Sum working as a genius tracker, a bounty hunter that specializes in finding rogue geniuses.
Einarr Otterkin- a Norn ranger that I made to trying out ranger elite specs. Doesn’t have any story stuff yet but hopefully will be fleshed out at some point.
Slightly put out to realize that the character I have the hardest time drawing is my main commander. Oh well it’s an excuse to draw him a bunch of times as practice
Happy June and happy Pride, everyone! If there's any month where I actually make my announcement post on time, this is the one to do it - next Saturday (June 6th) will be the first Saturday of a new month, which means it's time for another art party hosted by my guild, [VS] Verdant Shield!
For those not familiar, art parties are a concept carried over from Final Fantasy XIV: in-game get-togethers for artists of all kinds to hang out, chat, and create together! For GW2 parties there’s more of an emphasis on hanging out and gathering references during the party itself, and then in the days/weeks following to work on your creations at your own pace and then post to the shared art party tag. We’ve used the same one (#VSArtParty) since the very beginning so you can go allll the way back and explore what people have made! The most important thing to keep in mind though is this: the ‘goal’ of an art party isn’t to be drawn, but to draw others, and share with the community!
Time and /squadjoin information is below the cut, but will also be posted again on the day of the party as squads go up!
Location Information:
I've decided to make the Lion's Arch Gate in Gendarran Fields the Official June/Pride Party Location™, since it's a spot that Tyria Pride marchers have passed through every year, and will pass through again later this month during the event! It's super easy to get to via either the literally-right-there Cornucopian Fields Waypoint, or by walking north out of Lion's Arch (Trader's Forum Waypoint would be closest)!
Time & Squad Details:
As always, there’ll be two parties - the first one on EU servers and the second on NA ones - with an hour break in between!
The EU server party will begin at 9pm Central European Summer Time (aka 3pm Eastern Daylight Time or 5 hours before in-game reset). I’ll be hosting this one on my EU alt account, so please either /whisper or /squadjoin Paranomalous Plexxi for a taxi invite if you don’t end up on the right map!
The NA server party will begin 1 hour after the EU party’s official end, at 7pm Eastern Daylight Time (aka 1am Central European Summer Time or 1 hour before in-game reset). I’ll be on my main account for this one, so please /whisper or /squadjoin Kirslyn for a taxi invite if you don’t see my customary white cat tag hanging around on your map!
Closing Words:
You of course aren't obligated to change up your outfit for the festivities, but feel free to do so (or bring any of those Pride-themed cryptids I've seen lurking out there) if you feel like it! At the end of the day these events are for all of you guys, and I really do enjoy hosting them even if I've been on the quiet side lately! Have fun out there, and I'll see you soon! ♥
It's me, arenanet. Tumblr user Countryhorror. I come before you today humbled, and humiliated, to ask you for one thing. I need you to make humans the one unplayable race in gw3 it would be so fucking funny.
Anon or not, send in anything you'd like elaborated on, anything you're interested in, anything that's been left vague, or anything that strikes your fancy. For multimuses, be sure to specify the muse!
Couple of weeks ago I had a chaotic dream as always, and somehow Vloxx was there.
Captured, with his hand tied, and yet he was able to follow his plans as always. Got fully smitten.
