I was thinking, if the characters of Assassin's Creed were Olympians athletes, which sport they would play?
Like as examples Arno would do fencing, Shao Jun probably artistic gymnastics, Jacob maybe Boxing, Altaïr maybe modern pentathlon, but I really want to hear your thought in this (including Desmond).
So for this one, we’ll focus on the main characters in AC games and maybe some will have duplicate sports, we’ll see XD
Altaïr – Modern Pentathlon (I would have made a joke and say Marathon Swimming but Pentathlon actually works so much better for him XD)
Ezio – Shooting or Equestrian Dressage or Equestrian Jumping
Ratonhnhaké:ton - Archery
Haytham – Golf (he’s a rich boy in a modern day au, dude knows how to play golf)
Desmond - Triathlon (the power of three is strong on Desmond XD)
Aveline – Rhythmic Gymnastics or Tennis
Edward - Diving or Surfing or Sailing
Adéwalé - Diving or Rowing or Sailing
Shay - Canoe Sprint or Canoe Slalom or Sailing (honestly, he, Edward and Adéwalé can switch among themselves with Rowing, Sailimng and the Canoe sports, I tried to focus on the ‘boat’ aspect)
Evie – Tennis (Evie looked like someone who would learn how to play tennis)
Shao Jun – Artistic Gymastics
Nikolai – Shooting (it would be funny to see someone as serious as Nikolai be in Table Tennis or Breaking XD)
Arbaaz – Football or Athletics
Layla – Beach Volleyball (definitely flirting with the teams she’s up against, all in good fun though)
Bayek – one of the team sports and he’s the captain
Kassandra - Wrestling – Greco-Roman or Weightlifing
Eivor - Canoe Sprint or Rowing
Basim - Sport Climbing or Cycling BMX Freestyle (I’m imagining Mirage Basim so something a bit too reckless for Valhalla Basim)
