Obsessed with that armor !
You'll probably find that weird, and you'd probably wouldn't be wrong but... For the GW/GW2 players who watched The Legend of Korra, did you noticed how the three main Beifong are similar to the main factions we had in GW Factions?
Take Lin, she's strict yet sensible while acting stoic, full heavy armor in grey and gold/beige tones just like the Kurzicks. We don't know a lot about her in canon but I feel like she'd be at some point interested by arts and maybe history. The tall petrified cathedrals looking like huge buildings from another time evoking her dear city.
On the opposite side, Suyin looks less classic, from her time to the desert to her whole messes, she reminds more the Luxons, the old enemies of the Kurzicks. Even her clothing style is more fluid and light than the armor and huge coat or suit. The metal in Zaofu is like the jade sea, it can be either hard, either fluid.
And on the center you have the one who at first was outside of this, leaving them alone and not caring, while one day ruining their whole lives and never apologizing for this. The empire, Toph.
The fact both comes from different fathers ( we know that both sides aren't from Cantha, confirmed by the Wiki "In 786 BE, the Six Human Gods first appeared in Cantha, bringing humanity with them.[6] The Luxon and Kurzick tribes did not emerge from the Canthan people and arrived separately at a later time, in unclear circumstances,[13] as did the human tribes of the northern continents of Elona and Tyria." ) - oh the irony of that "in unclear circumstances" knowing the whole unknown fathers drama- having in common their mother/the land they live now. And this mother/this land being the one who will destroy them at some point.
I'm sure there's not any relation between the game and the serie but the similarities were surprising.
My Kurzick beta elementalist. I did the best I could with current hairstyles and faces, I hope we get new options with the next expansion.
(PS: ANet, please add Kurzick makeup as a helm piece)
