Let's make a GW2 character: COMPLETE

Starting at the beginning of January, I wanted to see if we as a community could walk through the character creation steps all the way to a complete character. And you guys did it! I want to genuinely thank all of you who played along and contributed to the voting in each poll. This would not have happened without you guys, and the amount of people participating made it so much fun to watch as the poll creator.

Oops All Foofoo (honorable mention to Fortuna Oddchoice and Meowning Glory for making it to the final poll), the charr necromancer you brought to life! This is not my oc, it is the community's. Anyone can claim this chonker, do what you will with them!

Below the cut you'll find the full cc appearance for this charr, along with every choice you made after. Do what you like, and have fun with it!

A necromancer closest companion is death. In acknowledgement of this, I mark my face with the symbol of a Ghostly Wraith

Trouble may follow me, but I use my Charm to overcome it.

I am proud to be Ash Legion

I would die for my warband, especially Dinky and Reeva, my sparring partner.

They tell me the soldier that sired me is a Sorcerous Shaman

Oops All Foofoo! I love her. This was such a fun event.

What are the dynamics/relationships between Alga, Thistle and Howl? Your drawings of them give... intriguingly mixed signals 😳

LMAO okay so

status quo the three of them are a team and an item, unbothered by (internal) drama, in their lane, flourishing, moisturised, etc. —the mixed signals are that their introductory adventure was just terrible.

verdant brink, a day or two after the fleet went down, alga stumbles into howl and thistle (already partners from orr) holed up in the shrouded ruins.

alga: saw their ship sabotaged by her crew and just escaped a mordrem assault that scattered the meagre little encampment of survivors that had patched them up.

thistle: focusing very hard on keeping a dragon out of her head.

howl: just got done shooting at her own people to flee the pact with thistle. absolutely at her limit.

alga convinces howl they're not going to try anything (please don't shoot me or send me to be eaten by mordem thanks), but it's tense.

then the group is attacked and thistle's dragged off, leaving alga (zero optimism) and howl (zero patience) to track her down.

when they find her, the blighting's already started. howl demands alga do something to fix her and alga goes "what the hell are you talking about i'm not a healer and barely a mesmer" to a response of, roughly, "if she doesn't make it back none of us do"

in desperation they manage to level up and perform some very ill-advised magical brain surgery, knocking thistle out and cutting her free of the brambles. the vines grafted onto her back are a remnant of that.

for the rest of the campaign howl lays off the death threats and alga's kind of invested at this point so they stick together.

after mordremoth is defeated thistle gets a chance to recover with a clear head and finally "meets" alga properly, and it turns out they get along really well!

the two hang out a lot during the mop-up in dragon's stand until alga grimly accepts that "hey, your scary girlfriend is going to fucking murder me if i don't back off", and tries to put in for a transfer once the chaos dies down.

now part of the reason the three work so well together is that they're each some flavour of quiet, stoic, and intuitive— but in this case alga and howl have intuited themselves directly in opposite directions and while alga's sure they're one wrong move from a beating, howl's already recategorised them as Basically Warband, ride or die etc.

so when thistle is sad about alga taking off, howl shows up like "wow i didn't take you for a flake and a coward wtf" and they finally have a proper conversation that clears up the rest of the misunderstandings.

and now they're chill. or would be if various life-destroying plots didn't keep getting in the way.

Here's a thing I made recently - the Regal Moth Skyscale from Guild Wars 2!

This art doll has a metal wire as a skeleton, to which I added stuffing and fabric to bulk up the shape. I then added faux fur and made the details out of polymer clay, which I then painted with acrylic paints. The tail is made by a series of clay "cups" strung together with elastics, which makes it poseable. The wings have a wire skeleton which makes them poseable as well, and the wing membranes were made of fabric painted with fabric paint! The skyscale is about 27 cm long and has a wingspan of about 58 cm.

I spent way too many hours making this and one of the wings broke off as I was taking the final pictures. lol.
