What your OCs or favorite characters would be doing on a beach? In case they absolutely can't go on a beach, what other summer activity do they enjoy?
Bonus level - once answered, pass this ask to 3 other people's inboxes!
Oh, what a nice ask!
As for Vlassk (becasue I have to talk about him when it's about the beach lol) he'd be swimming and enjoying the water or chilling in the sun. Maybe build a sandcastle with his twins and look for seashells and other shiny trinkets on the shore or treat them to some ice cream.
If he couldn't go to a beach for some reason, he'd probably chose to lounge in a pool with friends and family or just read like the big nerd he is.
Rerki (Ritari) would be sleeping in the shade while Errube and Dillyn (Dillion) start a water gun fight. And if those three couldn't go to the beach, they'd do the same at the local public swimming pool until Errube eventually would get the police called on them and they'd have to flee and later on enjoy some iced drinks at a bar while Errube laughs about it, Dillyn (Dillion) scolds her and frowns and Rerki (Ritari) just rolls her eyes.
for @commander-rerki / @acechse because i promised to draw her awesome gw2 OC, Rerki (was supposed to upload last year december but my internet was shitty at home)
Ok so I just stumbled over this post from @asura-appreciation-corner and hell yes! I wanna talk about my sharkrats so let's go!
Day One: Talk about one of your asura OCs! Who are they? What's their deal?
I decided to talk about Rerki, because she's my oldest asura OC and the one I started my journey with in GW2.
More about her under the cut because this is going to be somewhat long-ish:
So, Rerki is a necromancer (reaper by now) and the incarnation of my GW chars (Kairi Yiuan, also necro bc of course gotta be real here) and the very first thing that I decided about her was, that she has this midnest of "I'm a nice person, I help people. Because when they're dead they don't have problems anymore. So, killing them is helping them, therefore I'm nice."
She's not your typical hero; minding her own business and preffering to spend her time alone in her lab experimenting on poisons and minions and studying ancient necromancy stuff instead of going out of her way to help everyone she meets on the road.
She finds most (everyone, really) annoying and stupid and would rather not interact with other people if it can be avoided. Sadly enough, she got involved with the elder dragons and now has a dragon daughter so ... yeah, she's bound to meet people now, to her great dismay and disgust.
Rerki is often harsh and straight to the point, never sugar coating anything and always taking the most efficent route to get her goals done, no matter the cost.
The only instance that would have her change her approach would be when people are involved that she cares for (not that she would ever admit that). Behind closed doors, she can be very caring and gentle - in her own, uniquely blunt and insensible way. That includes Dillyn and Errube (her only remaining family members) and her Krewe (a group of misfits and unfortunate souls she "collected" over the years in her time with the Vigil & fighting Zaithan). And, of course Aurene.
But beyond that, she sees most people as beneath her and not worth the effort to talk to if she doesn't need them for something.
She became the Commander besides Dillyn and Errube, wich each of them representing one of the Orders of Tyria; but after Zaithan was slayn she retreated to her lab and continued her research (I never played Living World 1 with her so she never personally met the Dragon's WAtch gang). Until Mordremoth rose and she was needed once more.
After Mordremoth's defeat, she was done with Elder Dragon's however and gladly let Dillyn take over the mantle of the Commander. She's still part of Dragon's Watch and ready to jump in and help but is way more passive now; while Errube acts alongside the Order of Whispers in the shadows.
Rerki also has a phobia against white rabbits thanks to a stupid accident 250 years ago when she was a human exploring the North and stumbled across a secluded cave. No, she will not elaborate and if you ever mention that again you'll die. Slow and painfully.
That's all I can think of now, although theres more to this nasty angry lil sharkrat but I'm out of time and ideas right now so, yeah - thanks for reading!
Does your OC have a krewe? What do they specialize in? How do they get along? @asura-appreciation-corner
This'll get another cut because, uh ... a bit long, again my friends!
Rerki has a krewe, although not in the traditinal sense. It's a funkly little party of ufortunate souls and misfits she met and adopted over the years as Commander and the year after Zaithan's defeat.
They're a special group among the Vigil and get called when things get serious and needs professional handling. Rerki & her Rescue Squad will see that it gets done.
The "krewe" includes Rerki (of course) as the leader with Thjorn Herstekin (a former Son of Svanir Norn), Vigrum the Unfaithful (a Charr gladia) and Maggeline "Maggie" Blackwater (a thief from Divinity's Reach) as her Inner Circle.
Then, theres the two other Asura: Zhekk, a self-proclaimed pyrologist and fire enthusiast prone to talking loud and much while he stands at the backline and throws fireballs (and bombs) from a safe distance at everyone that dare's to cross their path or question his genius.
The second Asura is Makko, a sellsword who originally worked as a Peacemaker in Rata Sum until he got fired after accepting a bribe from a rather insistent and hot-headed inmate and letting him slip away. He was hired by the Lion Guard after but didn't make it long there either until setting out to find adventures and fortune for himself in the big, wide world of Tyria.
He was quite suprised when he later joined Rerki and saw the very reason for his early retirement from the Peacemakers among her krewe. In the months afterwards, Zhekk found himself looking over his shoulder twice before going anywhere, fearing a vengeful blade (or at least a well placed punch) finding it's way to his unguarded back - or worse, face.
Aimilien & Eimilien are two Sylvari pod-twins and were part of a wandering circus for a very, very long time; honing skills of trickery and illusion and persuasion; which they quickly learned can come in handy at the battlefield as well.
Nobody exept Rerki and Maggie can tell them apart, with both of them looking like an exacpt copy of the other. When Rerki gets asked hos she does it, she just stares at you like youre an complete idiot and scoffs at you, while Maggie will smile knowingly and tell you "Oh, but it's so very obvious. Don't you see it?"
It has been a mystery to this day how those two are able to tell them apart, much to Eimi's & Aimi's delight.
Then, there's Oldafyn the Silent; a mute Owl Shaman hailing from the far Shiverpeaks to fullfill her Spirit's calling in aiding Rerki in her fights against the Elder Dragon's.
She prefers the company of her trusted pet companions (a Snow Owl hatched from Owl's Abattoir and a Raven) over most people. She's a skilled trapper and tracker and her calm demeanor got her the honorable duty to step in whenever Zhekk and Makko get into another of their screaming arguments to calm them down - or force them apart and into each other's rooms if they fail to see reason.
And that's it! That's the gang! They're all very diffrent and have their moments of head-butting but in the end get along rather well and over the years developed a sense of family between each and every one of them.
