Aereus is a charr engineer who hates sealife [a crab grabbed and bent her rifle once] and has a love of all things that go BOOM with dramatic effect!

Questions for you!! Do any of your OCs have unique / special weapons that they always use, and if so what’s the backstory behind them? Also, is there any OC you’re especially proud of / happy with? ( — @astralarias )

yes! quite a few of them do, sometimes it's tied in to plot [Tai] other times it's tied into it being gifted or taken as a 'trophy' i'll go through the simplier ones first; Slei uses the warden's weapons [sylvari cultural tier 3] specifically a longbow and greatsword, though you'll rarely see me use them in combat since his in game self is specced to use a shortbow and axe/torch, which aren't pecific to him at all! he also can be seen with pact weapons sometimes and he has a bow gifted to him by De [bright inquisitors longbow] that he has mostly as a 'for show' weapon that he hasn't fired much Teo's weapons are all stolen or reclaimed/repurposed! in game he has the untamed hammer, but in my head it's literally just a chunk of metal that he's grown branches and vines over and turned into a weapon. that's the only weapon that he always has De's weapons are all gifts from clients, his favorite being a ritualists staff! he also has the endless ocean sword and dagger Aereus has a zodiac rifle that she LOVES but unfortunately a particularly grumpy crab grabbed the barrel and bent it during an excursion into Orr, now she hates shellfish lol Tai under the cut because it's a DOOZY

Tai's weapon/s have plot! he starts out with a simple staff, much like the common skins you see in tyria, a crystal on a stick basically! but when exploring Orr after Zhaitan's death, he comes across a dragon bone staff, it was incomplete, lacking the source of the glow in the eyes, but he thought it interesting enough to add to his growing collection of curios. during further excursions into Orr, the staff starts to rattle and shake in his hands as it it sensed something nearby. On further exploration, it found the body of a fallen dragon champion, reacting to something within it. Tai isn't shy about getting elbow deep in a corpse, and lost his sense of smell around the same time he was lich-ified, so eventually he unearths a rough gem stone that seems to be practically magnetized to the staff, it immediately wants to sit in one of the skull's eye sockets. intrigued, Tai lets it, and alter researches into the staff and it's possibly origins. he can't find anything remotely similar, and instead starts to research the presense of stones of power being formed inside immensely powerful creatures. finding nothing quite as remarkable with tyria's usual threats [besides some promising subjects from shatterer and the claw of jormag] he eventually shelves the project and intends to come back to it later. when he does, it's during the seige on Mordremoth's domain, and tai finds a second stone in the corpse of Adryn, fitting that they were the stavemaster! again, the gem magnetizes with the staff, and Tai goes on to work out what this means for him. years of research later, leads him to find that the two stones are related to the dragons that the champions came from. one stone for death, the other for mind. this results in tai having a staff that can, effectively, control weakminded undead [awakened are uneffected, unchained risen, however, are] and also the ability to steal the soul from a living or undead subject at the point of death. the souls held inside the staff can never outweight Tai's own power or the staff starts to get a will of it's own and turns on him! this ended up being his undoing when he went on a bit of selfish rampage in cantha, resulting in him abandoning his staff to the ocean and instead leaning towards the approach of a harbinger with a pistol to take out his intended target. later, my ex mortician character, Rui, comes across the staff during a fishing trip with his husband, rescognising it as Tai's old staff. Rui then makes it a personal mission to release and 'rehome' all of the spirits still trapped in the staff
