Big Introduction Post!

Alright, me, my sibling and my boyfriend have made it to Claw Island on our joint play through. So time to introduce our characters!

Archaeologist Biarr (mine, pronouns: he/him, Chronomancer Mesmer)

Biarr showed a strong interest in history from a young age, always preferring to uncover old knowledge rather than discover new information. This was at odds with his mesmer magic, until he developed a mirror based backwards scrying technique that enabled him to discover ancient sites with an incredible amount of accuracy. This lead to him graduating with honors from the College of Statics. However, instead of pursuing fieldwork the way he wanted, Biarr was pressured by his politically minded father into becoming an aide for Councilor Ludo, an old mentor of Biarr’s. Stifled and bored, Biarr jumped at the chance to inspect and report on a Statics archaeological excavation in Bloodtide Coast. There he was shown a newly uncovered ancient Orrian mirror and attempted to use it to perform his backward scrying technique. The spell backfired, showing Biarr a horrific vision of the future where Zhaitan had corrupted all of Tyria before the mirror shattered causing the loss of Biarr’s eye. Returning to Rata Sum to recover, Biarr became involved in the events of the base game and ultimately broke ties with the Arcane Council and his father over the treatment of Professor Gorr and his research. Joining the Durmond Priory, Biarr rose quickly through the ranks and, surprising himself, become quite close with his partner Seiran. Loosing her at Claw Island was incredibly difficult for him.

Bjazz (my sibling’s character, pronouns: she/her, Engineer)

Biarr’s younger sister and a talented but highly distractible Engineer. She was very close to her father growing up and a bit of a poppa’s girl. This lasted up until she entered the College of Dynamics and began to struggle academically. Despite the myriad of tutors her father provided, Bjazz ended up flunking out. Her father, enraged and concerned that such a thing might endanger his current political campaign for a seat on the Arcane Council, disowned her. Bjazz drifted from krewe to krewe until ultimately catching the eye of Zojja during the fifth annual Snaff Prize competition. After some exciting adventures including the rescue of Professor Gorr and his research, Bjazz ended up joining the Order of Whispers as she didn’t feel strong enough or smart enough for the Vigil or the Priory. Despite perhaps not making the best field agent, any worries she might have had about that decision were immediately discounted upon meeting Tybalt Leftpaw. The two bonded incredibly quickly and work together incredibly well. The charr soon became a second, and much better, father to her. His loss at Claw Island was devastating to Bjazz.

Mortt the Bulwark (my boyfriends, pronouns: he/him, Spellbreaker Warrior)

A Synergetics dropout and former member of the Order of Whispers, Mortt left the organization after one too many arguments with Preceptor Halvora Snapdagger over what does and does not count as “excessive force”. Mortt himself claims he left because “you don’t get paid for saving the world”. Whatever the actual reason, he traveled to Rata Sum and set up shop using his skills in risk assessment and asset protection to cater to wealthy types in need of some muscle with a side helping of brains. When hired by Biarr and Bjazz’s dad, he fully expected to get saddled with a couple of annoying rich kids and was surprised to find that (mostly) wasn’t the case. Despite some tension, Mortt and his charges ended up bonding and the three stood together to protect Professor Gorr from the Arcane Councilor. It was only after Biarr and Bjazz left to join their respective orders that Mortt discovered that their father had been in on the plot to hide Gorr’s discoveries and hadn’t been to concerned that his children had stood in the way. Disgusted, Mortt quit and traveled to Lion’s Arch to find a new job. There he was hired by sylvari Firstborn Trahearne, who was on his way to Orr. However, the scholar insisted that they first stop at Claw Island, where Mortt ran into not one but two familiar faces.
