#Aela Sharpblade

[the-blazing-light]

How about, rank characters from dexterity to strength as in what they use for combat maybe note a specific trait of dexterity/strength for some characters

I ain't gonna do all characters cuz that's dfhjgjh a lot of 'em to get down to but I'll throw in some that I think deserve a shoutout in that sense but dfjghjh that's gonna be a long one anyway

To no one's surprise, Arengar is extremely physically strong, and being Blood Legion born and raised, yeah he prefers to approach fights with brute force of muscle and magic rather than in any dexterous or stealthy way, and being a heavy-armored, 8 feet tall charr makes trying to be agile or sneaky hard to begin with, him preferring to block hits with aegis and other guardian spells or just straight-up take 'em as opposed to dodging them. All that to say, not that he can't fight with strategy and intelligence put into it, but he certainly prefers just a plain, head-on approach 90% of the time, as for a charr of his particular skillset the alternatives are usually a waste of time

Kaia is yet another meat wall of a charr. She's extremely strong and durable, as expected of a warrior, and is even more hard-headed and straightforward than Arengar is. Being a warrior, she can't really protect her friends with any sorta spells, instead using her own body as a shield, able to take the punishment and give it back to the enemy twice as hard. Additionally, she's a spellbreaker, with her approach to it involving literally throwing whatever magic her enemies tossed at her right back in their face, so a lot of the time getting hit is her battle tactic. Get hit, shrug it off, toss it back and pummel your opponent with a hammer until it's done.

Alistair on the other hand really isn't physically strong nor durable. He's an agile, quick mesmer, who can't really take hits but if he plays his cards right, he doesn't in the first place. Confusing his enemies, teleporting around constantly, staying away from the opponent and cloaking himself with mesmer magic is core of his fighting style, with the way he fights it's almost a dance: graceful, fast and quite deadly.

Now Arren's a perfect combination of the two. He's very short, but stocky, quick and unexpectedly strong. His hits pack a punch but also being a thief he's extremely hard to catch and pin down, which he uses to his advantage.

Now Aela is on the other side where she's surprisingly agile. She's a heavy-armored soldier, and yet she's extremely lean and fast, dashing and teleporting around, delivering quick, deadly strikes, cutting down the enemy before they can even strike back. Her and Arren actually share a very similar fighting style, being trained together in Ash Legion, but both adapted it to suit better their professions, thief and guardian respectively.

Lani's just another massive, bulky brick wall that swings around a hammer that's twice as big as some humans. Not much to say here, he's not known for being good at strategy or... Some would say thinking in general, but he sure can handle himself in a fight, be it an all-out war effort or just another bar brawl.

Zemzus is interesting, because he's your typical run of the mill scholar with athleticism of a wet noodle, but he's also an extremely powerful reaper necromancer. While he's not powerful physically per say, he more than makes up for it with his magic, which allows him to just rely on sheer brute force of it.

A little gif of Aela I made for a project of mine but decided not to use in it

#charr willbender animations are so good #I never noticed they slide a little after landing in this anim it's such a cool detail #though I think the ‟bring 'em to justice‟ line is seared in my head forever #gw2 #guild wars 2 #charr #c: Aela Sharpblade

[evilpol]

for the guild wars ask game, 2 for all of your ocs and 21 for the oc you like the most :)

jfgdsjhh thank you for asking I have, a lot of characters, about 25 in game right now so for the 1st one I'll just focus on the ones who have somewhat of a more defined elite spec, important for their character A lot of cats incoming, beware 2. What's their class/elite spec? Weapon of choice? Did they purposely train for it or did it just sort of happen?

Arengar Hopebringer, my main character and Commander is technically a dragonhunter in canon, even though I mostly play him as a firebrand because I just enjoy it more. The dragonhunter is... Pretty obvious as to why, he's the commander, the dragon-killer, that just felt appropriate. Also adds a bit of more of an identity crisis to him once turns out killing dragons is no longer the solution and instead he's gotta work with one.

Arren Sharpclaw is my former, quote on quote 'retired' Commander and a daredevil. He's an expert in hand-to-hand melee combat and makes up what he lacks in magical prowess or size in agility and physical strength, Ash Legion training involves much more than just sneaking around and he shows that.

Alistair Shredsteel is a mirage and currently a pact diplomat, alongside being Arren's best and one of the oldest friends. He's an incredibly talented mesmer, focusing on deception and treats the battlefield like a game a lot of the time, he can't take a hit a lot of the time but sure can avoid it via clones and constant teleportation.

Aela Sharpblade is Arren's former bandmate and currently an Ash Legion centurion. She's a willbender, taking down enemies before the threat can fester with, fast, brutal movements and unwavering determination. Willbender guardian seemed perfect for a dedicated Ash soldier.

Avitus Thunderjaw is an Iron tribune and a Bladesworn. Given Iron legion ingenuity combined with his warrior training, it's not a far stretch for him to use a gunsaber. He's not as much of, a patient warrior waiting for the right moment to strike like bladesworn is in game, but more like... He's a strong, heavy-armored charr with a giant gunblade. Things go boom around him. Guy's been over the moon to get out of his office when Drizzlewood happened and go into the thick of action again.

Teo Sawtooth is Thunderjaw's son. He's inherited his father's... Let's call it passion for violence and exploding things, so combine an Iron Legion engineer prodigy with some warrior training from his dad and an adrenaline-seeking personality and you get... A holosmith with extremely explosive fighting style that likely causes damage to everyone around, friend or foe. There's a reason he's mostly detained to commanding his own airship nowadays. He's always ready to provide his steady supply of explosives whenever Commander's squad needs something blown up though.

Tavlas Sandflare is a young but gifted Flame Legion scourge, who despite his age already climbed quite high up in the ranks of his legion. Does he have an ulterior motive? A thirst for ambition and willingness to do anything to make Flame Legion better in his eyes? Who knows he absolutely does, but one thing is certain: necromancer magic fueled by flame legion fire magic yields some horrifying results. Burning people alive from inside out, creating waves of necrotic flames and using his enemies' own life force to fuel his spells, it's all up his sleeve and nothing is "too dangerous" in his eyes to use in a fight.

Leon Brightglory is another Flame Legion charr and a Firebrand. An older shaman, he's been a part of Gaheron's inner circle for a long time before joining in with Efram. Leon's an interesting case since he's never had much of an ability in his own magic, however learning spells, creating them and studying ancient tomes was his specialty. One of the people responsible for Gaheron's spell to ascend to "godhood", helping Smodur create the searing bomb in Drizzlewood, Leon's done a lot of things he's justified as "for the greater good", yet always managed to stay afloat when waves came crashing down due to being just a sidekick a lot of the time. Most of his magic is fueled by ancient tomes he's been learning all of his life, hence the firebrand specialization. Also because it has fire. A lot of fire. Flame Legion after all.

Tayro's... An interesting case. An Inquest Operative and a Tempest, he uses purified and liquified ley-line magic to overcharge his elementalist abilities and use tempest's overloads. For which he literally has to inject ley-line liquid into his body. Is this a good idea? Likely not. Is he a little off the rails mentally as a result? Absolutely. However he has still not gotten full-on ley-line crazy and no one exactly knows why or how.

Vekell Ivarson is one of the characters I've only gotten to making recently. He's a Son of Svanir Reaper, and an opposite of Tavlas in some ways, instead using Jormag's ice magic to combine with his necromancer abilities and fuel his spells. There isn't too much to it since I haven't gotten to doing anything properly with him yet but. Ice necro that is reaper seems very fitting for him.

21. What song or songs do you associate with them?

I'll just pick Arengar for that one since he's my main but djshfghjg I love associating songs with my characters and creating playlists for them so Saint Mesa - Lion Shayfer James - Battle Cry

Skillet - Finish Line Grandson - Blood//Water That one's a little bit different because I mostly associate it with Bangar and his relationship with Arengar, rather than just Arengar himself. Bangar is Arengar's grandsire (with Arengar's dame being Bangar's cub) and Imperator of his legion, along with being a reason Arengar chose the name Hopebringer for himself, making Bangar manipulate Arengar throughout Icebrood Saga quite efficiently and leaving Arengar with a lot of doubts and anger. "The price of your greed is your son and your daughter What you gonna do when there's blood in the water?"

GW2 Photo Challenge 2: Favorite Playable Race

I wonder which one it is, we may never know...

Alright, but I really love charr. Everything from design to lore is so good, I love those demon cats. I have 13 character slots now, and 12 out of them are charr, with 13-th being close to getting filled with a cat as well. I just have a really hard time getting attached to non-charr characters, and thus my character roster gets more and more cats all the time.

GW2 Photo Challenge 3: Fashion Wars

I'm a charr player, so fashion wars can get... Complicated. Still, it gets even more satisfying when you find piece of armor that fits just right

I like to think that all of my charr are rather plain and grounded in their fashion wars, npc energy so to say and that's the idea, so have Aela who got her armor changed again recently.

Gave Aela a bit of an armor update. Love this grumpy centurion, even if I don't play her much

I'm not a biggest fan of ranger, but at least the skill animations are neat

Aela? Aela, you're alright?

Female charr expression with /kneel is. Uh

#karol's stuff #aela sharpblade

[evilpol]

I don't think I posted this here, so, well, Aela's a ranger now

Mostly because I wanted a druid for raids and she was the one I saw first. But hey, soulbeast is fun, and medium armor suits her!

🖊🖊

Out of all my current characters, only 3 of them have actual voice headcanons: Fenrar, Arren and Arengar. Fenrar's voice is Mirage from Apex Legends, Arren's - Fenris from Dragon Age, and Arengar's - Loghain from Dragon Age as well. I'd love to edit video with their voice claims one day, but I suck at editing too much to do so ;-;

Aela gave everything for Arren and Sharp warband. Even her horn, which she lost protecting wounded Arren after a mission gone wrong. She set aside her own ambitions in favor of Arren becoming Sharp's legionnaire and then a new Ash centurion, as she saw him as more charismatic and better leader than her. No wonder she was angry after learning of Arren's work on Order of Whispers, and that he'll be giving up his ranks and place in Legions in favor of them, of idealistic idea of defeating elder dragons. And she could've accepted that with time, if Arren later on didn't run off from Pact as well. Left them just as he left Sharp.

Thank you for asking! And sorry for it taking so long, I didn't noticed at first ;-;

A saga. Neither Aela nor Elmarenn agree with this disaster of an outfit, but nobody listens

With @astralarias @sylvari-bouquet @likemesomesalads @ascalonianpicnic and @resonatingfern

(I'm pretty sure I might've forgotten someone or pinged a wrong person so poke me if I did)

#overall it was very fun #thanks for letting me to tag along :d #elmarenn #aela sharpblade

"Centurion Sharpblade, huh? I bet you like the sound of it."

"Hmm, at last you're right, Arren. It suits me very well, isn't it?"

A new charr? A new charr. Shouldn't even be a surprise by now.

Well, this is centurion Aela Sharpblade, spellbreaker and member of Sharp warband, who was in command since Arren left for Pact. She has a massive ego and is probably a bit too direct and hot-tempered for Ash Legion, but is a reliable leader, she didn't became centurion for nothing after all.

So Bound by Blood really inspired me, and since almost all of my charr are either gladium or away from their warband, I wanted myself a loyal soldier of the Legions. And also to somehow bring Arren's former warband in story, so that was a perfect opportunity... But now I need at least two more slots for other members of Sharp warband ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I also just wanted a charr with this color palette, only to realize that I already used it with my elementalist. Ah well.

Yes, I did bought Flashpoint lws episode only for houndskin mantle. And I have absolutely no regrets

Now I just need strength not to use it on every character... Or is it too late?

So, Inktober. More like sketchtober for me, but hey, why not.

Gonna try to do this with charrtober prompt list, if I won't end up too lazy as always

Anyway, the first one's ash, so here's Aela. Still figuring out her design and how to actually draw female charr, but I like her. Also, that badge on her mantle supposed to be a stylized hawk, which is a symbol of Sharp warband, but... Something went wrong D:
