First off, my original characters do not always follow canon. I have Firstborn, Fractalborn
Character List!
This is a work in progress. Eventually I'll have this filled out with all my characters and their art, but for now its just gonna be some basic info and hotlinks.
Sylvari
Salvian Ris - 'Ol faithful whose seen some shit. former nightmare mesmer turned six-time Elder Dragon slayer. Just wants a break so he can drink tea and garden at his homestead with his husband, but Tyria keeps happening. he/him gay
Amaranthus Ris - Salvian's husband, a sylvari from a fractal created by the astral ward, where the pale tree was raised by Mad King Thorn. gender = berserker boi smashes local demon
Omphelia "Le'praetor" Ris - Salvian's twin sister who was born with a chip on her shoulder. Can be found bashing in the skulls of White Mantle racists or obliterating souls in the Mists Wars. Aro ace diva who will cut a bitch. Recovering bloodstone addict
Daphne Sol - My youngest character, a chipper and happy-go-lucky druidess who awakened the dawn after the world summit. Her Wyld Hunt is to heal the pale tree. Is frequently in the company of Caer, and maybe a little bit in love with him. When she's not in the Grove, she's taking a hike along the Tarnished Coast or frolicking in the meadows of Janthir.
Sardonix Rex - Awakened during the cycle of dusk. those present at his awakening recall his pod being withered and smokey, almost ghastly. having no dream, he called himself sardonix rex. he fell to the Nightmare easily, as he had the voice of Firstborn Caderyn in his ear tempting him to shadow. during the events of HoT, he attended the battle against Mordremoth as the bodyguard of Duchess Chrysanthea, finding Mordremoth's yoke even more onerous than the Pale Tree's. When the dragon fell, he distanced himself from the Nightmare, instead choosing a path of Soundlessness to work with spirits on his own terms.
Firstborn Thanatos - my new scourge necro. has complicated feelings about being the first awakened sylvari, and those feelings typically manifest as "grumpy" and "better than you"
Llewellyn- Ard-Sylvari ranger who lost ten years of his life in a rabid hunting pack in the Mists. Now that he's back in Tyria, he just wants to play with Janthiri bees
Charr
(pictures coming soon!)
Cassius Marrowslake - Absolutely feral charr gladium whose warband was killed by the invading Awakened during lws4. Since then, he has retreated to the wilderness and begun bonding with the souls of animals, naming them after his dead warbandmates.
Imperator Fulminora Thunderhead - After her Fractalborn Olmakhan were blown off course and stranded on Janthir Syntri, Fulminora gathered the survivors and formed the Thunder warband, pleading with Decima and the other Titans for forgiveness for their insolence.
Atticus Fluxbreaker - If hack-em slice-em was a charr, it would be Atticus. Charging into battle with his greataxe, he can break a horde of enemies faster than Decima can sneer 'squash-em!'
Verania Scorchbringer - A Flame Legion shaman who is dissatisfied with how the Legion treats women. She transitioned to female as an act of defiance and to prove that women should be able to hold positions in the shaman caste.
Olywn - My silly Olmacat boy who really likes making sand castles
Having a minor meltdown about the announcement of Guild war three. WHO KNEW THAT THIS WOULD BE AN ANXIETY TRIGGER FOR ME??? I assure as fuck didn’t think it would be! I have calmed down a bit but goddamn. Considering that arena net is pretty good as game companies go, and have proven in the past that they haven’t abandoned previous works with Guild wars one, I’m not freaking out as much as I think I would be otherwise, but… I’ve been playing Gw2 since 2012 and it’s something I’ve always returned to as a comfort game, and this is hitting me kinda hard. Just needed to scream for a little bit because the reaction I’ve seen has been positive! And I feel like a weird weirdo for freaking out as badly as I am XD

I'm genuinely so happy to see these Skyscale models resurfacing.
I love to see these moth models as canon and- to the extent that we see so far anyways- it looks like they naturally fit in to the terrain they are put in.
I know folks can gripe and complain about reused assets; but, I'm of the opinion that when it's done right and that it looks like they've belonged there the whole time that it works. So glad to see these beautiful Skyscale models out in the world again. Can't wait to fly around and explore the beauty of this map fully on release.
Maybe someday I'll get to see the Deep Sea Jackal / Warclaw skins be used for an Underwater Expac.
Elder Dragon vlast concept. he is meant to look a bit like a dragon that exploded and died, and like the exalted caretakers that raised him. him and aurene would be gold and silver siblings
bit of a lazy (as in mostly using her usual clothes) faerie costume for lull to bouncing-projectile her way through the labyrinth this year. glasses glamoured over or running around blindly? you decide.
also another little fairground-vibes halloween fort for my haunted bell:
From a past commission batch where I recorded the process, but hadn't yet had a chance to export them into videos. Recently had a good excuse to do so - starting with this first one!
Process video - start to finish, 1-min timelapse (720p) below:
With my "Fear Not This Night / Out of the Dream" midi-like medley cover for the backing track (though it cuts short here before segueing into the "Out of the Dream" portion).
Swap between looks on the fly with this upcoming feature.
We finally get info on the Fashion Templates coming to the game next week! (Feb 3rd)
Cliffnotes;
New Wardrobe Tab in the Hero Menu, under Equipment but above Builds. Contains Wardrobe & Tools options
New wardrobe allows you to edit skins & dyes in the same place, just click the dye channel or skin to switch between options.
We get Two (2) free Fashion Templates. They are per character.
Additional Templates are 600 gems, but! Account Wide! So you'll go up to 3 per character, etc. (Max 9)
Saving new skins into templates will cost Transmutation Charges per item changed.
However- if that slot has a legendary item equipped, then as previously, it'll be free to save.
Saved Templates are applied completely for free, no charges involved.
Option to apply chosen comestics to any item character equips automatically, aka you don't need to keep reapplying the template if you're levelling or changing out weapons for stats, for example!
Quick Acess Menu on the skillbar to change on the fly (or with hotkeys) just like armour and build templates
Sharable like builds via generated codes you can hang on to for later.
Tool appearances can also be changed for free!
They're planning on updating this new wardrobe tab with Mounts, Gliders, and Homestead Doors in the future.
