How about, rank characters from dexterity to strength as in what they use for combat maybe note a specific trait of dexterity/strength for some characters

I ain't gonna do all characters cuz that's dfhjgjh a lot of 'em to get down to but I'll throw in some that I think deserve a shoutout in that sense but dfjghjh that's gonna be a long one anyway

To no one's surprise, Arengar is extremely physically strong, and being Blood Legion born and raised, yeah he prefers to approach fights with brute force of muscle and magic rather than in any dexterous or stealthy way, and being a heavy-armored, 8 feet tall charr makes trying to be agile or sneaky hard to begin with, him preferring to block hits with aegis and other guardian spells or just straight-up take 'em as opposed to dodging them. All that to say, not that he can't fight with strategy and intelligence put into it, but he certainly prefers just a plain, head-on approach 90% of the time, as for a charr of his particular skillset the alternatives are usually a waste of time

Kaia is yet another meat wall of a charr. She's extremely strong and durable, as expected of a warrior, and is even more hard-headed and straightforward than Arengar is. Being a warrior, she can't really protect her friends with any sorta spells, instead using her own body as a shield, able to take the punishment and give it back to the enemy twice as hard. Additionally, she's a spellbreaker, with her approach to it involving literally throwing whatever magic her enemies tossed at her right back in their face, so a lot of the time getting hit is her battle tactic. Get hit, shrug it off, toss it back and pummel your opponent with a hammer until it's done.

Alistair on the other hand really isn't physically strong nor durable. He's an agile, quick mesmer, who can't really take hits but if he plays his cards right, he doesn't in the first place. Confusing his enemies, teleporting around constantly, staying away from the opponent and cloaking himself with mesmer magic is core of his fighting style, with the way he fights it's almost a dance: graceful, fast and quite deadly.

Now Arren's a perfect combination of the two. He's very short, but stocky, quick and unexpectedly strong. His hits pack a punch but also being a thief he's extremely hard to catch and pin down, which he uses to his advantage.

Now Aela is on the other side where she's surprisingly agile. She's a heavy-armored soldier, and yet she's extremely lean and fast, dashing and teleporting around, delivering quick, deadly strikes, cutting down the enemy before they can even strike back. Her and Arren actually share a very similar fighting style, being trained together in Ash Legion, but both adapted it to suit better their professions, thief and guardian respectively.

Lani's just another massive, bulky brick wall that swings around a hammer that's twice as big as some humans. Not much to say here, he's not known for being good at strategy or... Some would say thinking in general, but he sure can handle himself in a fight, be it an all-out war effort or just another bar brawl.

Zemzus is interesting, because he's your typical run of the mill scholar with athleticism of a wet noodle, but he's also an extremely powerful reaper necromancer. While he's not powerful physically per say, he more than makes up for it with his magic, which allows him to just rely on sheer brute force of it.

GW2 Photo Challenge 2: Favorite Playable Race

I wonder which one it is, we may never know...

Alright, but I really love charr. Everything from design to lore is so good, I love those demon cats. I have 13 character slots now, and 12 out of them are charr, with 13-th being close to getting filled with a cat as well. I just have a really hard time getting attached to non-charr characters, and thus my character roster gets more and more cats all the time.

GW2 Photo Challenge 3: Fashion Wars

I'm a charr player, so fashion wars can get... Complicated. Still, it gets even more satisfying when you find piece of armor that fits just right

I like to think that all of my charr are rather plain and grounded in their fashion wars, npc energy so to say and that's the idea, so have Aela who got her armor changed again recently.

[evilpol]

Gave Aela a bit of an armor update. Love this grumpy centurion, even if I don't play her much

I'm not a biggest fan of ranger, but at least the skill animations are neat

[evilpol]

Aela? Aela, you're alright?

Female charr expression with /kneel is. Uh

[evilpol]

I don't think I posted this here, so, well, Aela's a ranger now

Mostly because I wanted a druid for raids and she was the one I saw first. But hey, soulbeast is fun, and medium armor suits her!

Out of all my current characters, only 3 of them have actual voice headcanons: Fenrar, Arren and Arengar. Fenrar's voice is Mirage from Apex Legends, Arren's - Fenris from Dragon Age, and Arengar's - Loghain from Dragon Age as well. I'd love to edit video with their voice claims one day, but I suck at editing too much to do so ;-;

Aela gave everything for Arren and Sharp warband. Even her horn, which she lost protecting wounded Arren after a mission gone wrong. She set aside her own ambitions in favor of Arren becoming Sharp's legionnaire and then a new Ash centurion, as she saw him as more charismatic and better leader than her. No wonder she was angry after learning of Arren's work on Order of Whispers, and that he'll be giving up his ranks and place in Legions in favor of them, of idealistic idea of defeating elder dragons. And she could've accepted that with time, if Arren later on didn't run off from Pact as well. Left them just as he left Sharp.

Thank you for asking! And sorry for it taking so long, I didn't noticed at first ;-;

A saga. Neither Aela nor Elmarenn agree with this disaster of an outfit, but nobody listens
