i know, i am in fact already a member of this fancy guild, but i thought i might give you a little look at the characters you'll have to deal with when i'm on
could've posted it in the lore/fanfic forum, but i just swamped that one with a hell load of stuff, so here we go:
Arawn, the Bladebreaker (game name: Arawn Bladebreaker)
Profession: Elementalist/Warrior
Place of Birth: A small village near Lion's Arch, Kryta
Description: Arawn is a calm and quite easy-going young Krytan. He joined the White Mantle believing in a better future for him and his ill mother. He's an honest and open-minded individual who's still believing in the goodness of the human race, though he's often been proven wrong about this point already. Arawn is quite tall, with tanned skin and golden hair. He learned the ways of Earth Magic from his mother and was trained as a tactician in the White Mantle organization. Arawn never met his father, and yet he doesn't know anything about his two half-brothers...
Otoroshi, Lord of the Wicked (game name: Lord Otoroshi)
Profession: Necromancer/Ranger
Place of Birth: Unknown, somewhere in the area north of Ascalon
Description: Otoroshi, or The Lord of the Wicked as he calls himself, is the perfect example of a necromancer twisted and corrupted by the dark power flowing through him. Everywhere he goes he brings misery to the people, it's always been like that, even when he was still a baby. He was found by an Ascalonian scout north of the Wall, deep within Charr territory. No parents could be found for him, so the scout just kept him as his own child. But not for long, because soon after that the scout, his wife and his three daughters were found dead in their home, with terribly twisted expressions on their cold faces, and no sign of the dark-skinned white-haired boy could be found. Otoroshi was never trained as a necromancer, he somehow always had the abilities of invoking dark curses since his birth. At the moment, he's simply enjoying terrorizing Ascalonian refugees in the foothills of the Shiverpeak Mountains with his hellish animal companion Kayano, having no idea about his two lost brethren...
Shinsai, the Quick (game name: Shinsai The Quick)
Profession: Ranger/Warrior
Place of Birth: Rin, Ascalon
Description: Shinsai is the son of a young Canthan woman who came to Ascalon in hopes of being able to escape from her wrathful husband. As the other two brothers, he has never met his real father. He was raised by the Canthan woman, constantly on the move and seeking refuge in the big cities of Ascalon. Eventually when he was a teenager, Shinsai took the fate of his family into his own hands and put a bloody end to the chase, crushing the skull of his step-father with his own hands. He left his mother soon thereafter, joining the ranks of the famous army of Ascalon, just to be kicked out again because of some similarily bloody events during his training. Shinsai decided to train himself from that point on, becoming a talented but reckless mercenary for anyone who pays well. Soon his life would change drastically when he learns about his two half-brothers...
Cambion Fuun (game name: Cambion Fuun)
Profession: Dervish/Mesmer
Place of Birth: Kamadan, Jewel of Istan
Description: Not much is known about this young sunspear recruit yet (which means: i haven't made any effort to try to include him in the background stories of the other characters yet. soon to be done )
Mel wrote:
Ah what the heck, I'll join the fun
Melandhrian Vorin (Priestess of Grenth)
Profession: Necromancer
Birthplace: Unknown, previously thought to be Kaineng
Description: (Geez, I hate to give it all away) Mel was raised in Kaineng by the man she believed to be her father and his house-servant. In reality, she is half-Elonian, half-Canthan. Her 'father' found her on his doorstep one stormy (of course) night, and took her in rather than abandoning her to a Canthan Orphanage. She was trained by the Shing Jea Monastery. She still believes her Father's tale of her mother dying early in her childhood, and the house-servant has reinforced this. Master Togo's replacement at the Shing Jea Monastery has recently found out that Mel is more than anyone thought she might be....
She is generally found questing with her best friend Garlon, or her new friend Night.

Devlin Moonshade
Profession: Paragon
Birthplace: Istan, Elona
Description: Having had a rather wild youth, Devlin calmed down and straightened up after meeting Kormir by chance. She worships the ground Kormir walks on, and believes in her more than she even believes in the Five Gods. Kormir is the only person that she'll trust blindly, though. Recent events have left her in an interesting situation, she is currently being held prisoner in Kourna by the man that murdered Garlon's mother.
Sidhe Wyrd
Profession: Ritualist
Birthplace: Shing Jea Island
Description: The child of a monk and a necromancer, Sidhe was named for an Orrian friend of the family who perished when Orr fell to the Vizier. She took the craft surname 'Wyrd' after much linguistic research in the Canthan Archives. Her parents are still alive and teaching at the Shing Jea monastery. Trained by Master Togo, she specializes in Channeling magics rather than Restoration.
Hestia Chernobyl
Profession: Elementalist
Birthplace: Kryta
Description: Named for a goddess of the home and hearth and a nuclear disaster, Hestia will most probably eventually become a water mage. I haven't done any real work on her backstory, but right now she's nuking the heck out of charr in old Ascalon.
Sufi Nekhbet
Profession: Dervish
Birthplace: Istan, Elona
Description: Nekhbet currently teaches dervish students in a monastery. She has some mesmer tendencies, and has prophetic dreams. Not much else is known about her, because I haven't worked any harder on her back story with everything else going on.

Zoe Kirian

Corabelle Trysma
Profession: Ranger
Birthplace: Ashford Abbey, Ascalon
Description: Cora was supposed to be a mesmer, like her mother. She found her small frame was better suited for running through the forest, wielding a bow, and taming the beasts of nature. She's timid and somewhat mousy...and can be found traipsing Tyria with a very boisterous elementalist named Felicity.
Ryann Xalior
Profession: Necromancer
Birthplace: Rin, Ascalon

Giselle Starria
Profession: Paragon
Birthplace: Kodash, Vabbi
Description: Born of noble birthright, no one expected Giselle to up and join the Sunspear army...not with rumblings of demonic activity lurking about Elona. Giselle is everything you would think an upper class noble would be... snobbish, vain, and naive about how the world works. Through her assignments as a Sunspear, Giselle learns that there is more to a person than their pedigree...and the courage and honor one possesses is far more valuable.
Kiara Zairyn
Profession: Dervish
Birthplace: Kodlonu Hamlet, Istan
Description: Shy, quiet Kiara dreams of one day joining the somewhat obscurely known guild known as the Order of Whispers. She takes her position as a holy warrior for the gods very seriously and wants nothing more than to do her part to rid Elona of the demonic threat that is an affront to her gods.

Zenaida Alcyon
Profession: Ranger
Birthplace: Near Nolani Academy
Eldest of the Alcyon sisters, her family consisted of wealthy merchants and well travelled salespeople. It is rumored that the name Alcyon is actually a long-ago introduction from the Luxon lands. Zenaida was the gaurdian and warden of her remaining family post searing and still takes care of her siblings when they squabble.
Pica Alcyon
Profession: Mesmer
Birthplace: Near Nolani Academy
Youngest of the Alcyon sisters, Pica continues to be a dependant and spoiled brat, often imposing on her elder sister for money, gear and creature comforts. With a big mouth and a fiery temper, Pica often enrages people much more powerful than herself, which has resulted in her hair being turned silver by a much more powerful mesmer in a duel.
Darya Alcyon
Profession: Warrior
Birthplace: Near Nolani Academy
Darya wandered off soon after searing to find her way in the world, working out a method to slip into Shing Jea Academy and get the training that she found lacking in Ascalon. Darya is a very thoughtful person, often causing others to believe she is a dumb wammo. This is far from the truth.
Huon Tahl
Profession: Elementalist
Birthplace: Near Tanglewood
Educated foremost as an Aeromancer and a fighter for his guild's honor, Huon has a sentimental and romantic heart despite his tendency to make things go Zap! His character is expounded upon in my fan fictions. He is first cousin to Goska and the husband of Dale.
Goska Shadoweaver
Profession: Assassin
Birthplace: Near Tangleroot (same guild as Huon)
Goska's real name is Goseldt Ka or simply Gos. I don't actually know why I didn't give him his real story name, but at the time I was in a fey mood and Goska is a pretty insulting name given to him in his story. Shadoweaver is just a good old assassin moniker. Anyhow, there's a few hundred pages about Gos, but you should know I am incredibly fond of playing this character and he is VERY SPOILED.
Tulome Brauer
Profession: Mesmer
Birthplace: Brauer Academy
Bastard son of a conniving woman and Kurzick nobility, Tulome is a somewhat clueless fellow. Rather handsome, occasionally rash and always ready for a fight (or run away depending how the odds work out). Bad luck follows Tully like a grey cloud, as bourne out by his rather nasty death by ele boss at level 2 survivor. He also has considerable mileage in my fanfics and he's unlucky there as well!
Riles Flayflint
Profession: Necromancer
Birthplace: Droknar's Forge
Son of a butcher, Riles had much hands on work with corpses before taking up his axe and focus and taking his version of vampiric toucher on the road. Riles can generally be found anywhere there are living things with blood inside of them. He's happiest when swinging his axe and stealing life, basically psychotic, foul and violent (typical adventurer). In publich he tries to present himself as sophisticated, but there's just something creepy about him.
Caleb Rainbowmonk
Profession: Monk
Birthplace: Kamadan
Caleb was born to a family of fishmongers that have long been known in the sprawling market of the big Elonian City. He was born blind and his parents thought he would not amount to much in life until the day a Sunspear came to his home. He experienced a revelation of holy power and from that day forward he seeked out temples, but no one could cure his eyes. One day he was travelling and came across a shrine to Melandru. He knelt down and as a passing prayer requested her aid in findind a way to see. Lo and behold that very day, he befriended a flamingo of unusual size, and through their bond he has been able to see through Rosie's eyes eversince. Perhaps Tyria's only seeing-eye flamingo!
Dale Winterhouse
Profession: Ranger
Birthplace: Ascalon, North of the Wall
Dale is my first fan fiction hero. I decided to create her after seeing a face in the Elonian character creation screen that I really liked. Dale is my "oh what the heck" character that I run when I feel like it.
Heh, I may as well jump in too, no? But I shan't be following the patterns the fine folk before me established. I'm much too erratic and rambling for that.
Some of my characters have backstories, some are just names slapped on a pretty avatar, and some began as names slapped on a pretty avatar and evolved into having a backstory.

Armand Leblanc
Birthplace: Somewhere between Over There and That Other Place, in the late summer.
Armand was the second character I created in Guild Wars, the first being an ele that never made it out of Presearing before I got bored and deleted her. I had no idea what I was doing as a mesmer, other than I thought he looked nice. <_<;;; His name was drawn from a pool of NPCs I had created for an RPG that had part of its setting in the French Bordeaux wine country. Initially, nothing special. o/ But I began playing mesmer hardcore, and by the time I beat Prophecies for the first time two months later, I had a fairly solid backstory for him.
His backstory was forged out of a free ticket to "O," the Cirque Du Soleil production at the Bellagio Hotel here in Vegas and books by a journalist named Robert Young Pelton. I'd been reading forum RPGs and fan fiction that often presented mesmers as stereotypical limp-wristed shallow fops or noble snobs, and I wanted something that was completely counter to that.
The net result was a character who may as well be David Copperfield after having been subjected to three weeks of Navy SEAL training. Tough, clever and resourceful and very very determined, but also totally socially retarded. He can be about as sensitive as a brick through a plate glass window when it comes to dealing with other people. In short, just like me. :p When Yggy asked for guest characters for her second Pendaran fanfic, I happily volunteered Armand for it.
I really can't go into too much detail about Armand's backstory, as I don't know if or when Yggy plans to use any of it in her fics, nor how much of it. But, suffice to say, Yggy's got it down perfectly. I <3 her muchly.
Elias Higharrow
Birthplace: Wizard's Folly
Nevermind, I think Elias wants to tell you his story himself.
"So like, I wanted to be a mesmer and stuff, y'know? And like I thought like ya know that I could do stuff like them, but like I went to the theatre and there was this pretty lady there. Oh, maaaan, she was so mean! She laughed at me! she told me I wasn't good looking enough! And y'know, that's just rude."
"Necromancers ... uh, like, no way, dude. I don't do dead things. And, monks, y'know ... relax already. I mean, like, I went to Ashford Abbey and the first thing I saw was like this little cute monk yelling 'Repent!'" at me. Like, what? What'd I do? Then I got this hot, and I mean HOT, elementalist chick telling me I wasn't good enough for them either. Like, y'know, I thought like elements and being a ranger and all might work together, but nooo. Dude. This sucks."
I have more stuff on other characters, but I think I'll post it later.
Whisper wrote
Night Whisper, Acolyte of Grenth
Profession: Necromancer
Birthplace: Southern Shiverpeaks
Description: 'Night grew up alone and orphaned in the cold wastelands around Droknars Forge. Marked from birth as one f Grenths chosen, she has wandered through all three continents, seeking out those with more to teach her. Her latest adventures have introduced her to fellow Necromancer Melhandrian, with whom she can often be found questing.
Killing Whisper
Profession: Assassin
Birthplace: Senji's Corner
Description: The young assassin's ruthless streak and determination complete the job at hand earnt her the nickname 'death on the wind'. Currently roving through the wastes of Vabbi, she is young, hotheaded and merciless to those who oppose her.
Whispering Illusion
Profession: Mesmer
Birthplace: Tsumei Village
Description: Artistic and impetuous, the young Mesmer specialises in domination, not iluusion, as her name suggests. She is currently exploring Tyria in search of money and adventure
Healing Whisper
Profession: Monk
Birthplace: Serentity Temple
Description: A veteran of the searing, Healing Whisper has been forced t sell her services as a PuG in order to make ends meet. On her travels, she has found herself marooned in the Crystal Desert, pitted against unseen forces in order to reach a higher plane.

Profession: Warrior
Birthplace: Ascalon City, Ascalon
Description: Originally a part of the Vanguard. Left shortly after joining to mother her daughter, Risa and play the role of housewife. Once the Searing hit, this all changed and Zoe was forced to pick up her sword and find her way from the ashes.
Corabelle Trysma
Profession: Ranger
Birthplace: Ashford Abbey, Ascalon
Description: Cora was supposed to be a mesmer, like her mother. She found her small frame was better suited for running through the forest, wielding a bow, and taming the beasts of nature. She's timid and somewhat mousy...and can be found traipsing Tyria with a very boisterous elementalist named Felicity.
Ryann Xalior
Profession: Necromancer
Birthplace: Rin, Ascalon
Description: Ryann was orphaned at a very young age and has no recollection of her birth family. She was raised by an old necromancer hermit where she learned her trade. She has recently discovered she has a half-brother named John, and is beginning her search for family.
Lexie Farren
Profession: Ritualist
Birthplace: Cavalon, Cantha
Description: Lexie is the daughter of Captain Lexis of the Serpent Clan to the Luxons. She was sent to the Shing Jea Academy to be taught by the best. Her mother hopes for Lexie to escape the life of piracy otherwise destined for her on the Jade Sea.
Giselle Starria
Profession: Paragon
Birthplace: Kodash, Vabbi
Description: Born of noble birthright, no one expected Giselle to up and join the Sunspear army...not with rumblings of demonic activity lurking about Elona. Giselle is everything you would think an upper class noble would be... snobbish, vain, and naive about how the world works. Through her assignments as a Sunspear, Giselle learns that there is more to a person than their pedigree...and the courage and honor one possesses is far more valuable.
Kiara Zairyn
Profession: Dervish
Birthplace: Kodlonu Hamlet, Istan
Description: Shy, quiet Kiara dreams of one day joining the somewhat obscurely known guild known as the Order of Whispers. She takes her position as a holy warrior for the gods very seriously and wants nothing more than to do her part to rid Elona of the demonic threat that is an affront to her gods.
Mariska Hartlan
Profession: Elementalist
Birthplace: Mihanu Township, Vabbi
Description: Mariska trained with the best elementalists in Vabbi to serve Prince Mehtu the Wise as one of his guard. Her fiery temper and quick lip soon caused Mariska to be out of a job. Talhkora, the Prince's daughter convinces Mariska to go to Istan with her, she's convinced General Kahyet is up to something.
Raelyn Morgani
Profession: Monk
Birthplace: Chabek Village, Istan
Description: Born with Dwayna's compassion, Raelyn spent her early years training with Kamadan's priestesses learning the healing arts. Although her teachers praise her, she is not confident in her abilities. With the threat of war with Kourna looming, Raelyn decides her help is needed...whether she's as good as others think she is or not.
Lauryn Rivica
Profession: Mesmer
Birthplace: Lion's Arch, Kryta
Description: Lauryn was born into the White Mantle guild. She spent her young life studying to be a Mantle sycophant. When she discovered the murderous base that her beliefs were founded on...she ran. Now homeless and faithless, Lauryn found her way into Ascalon and to the Serenity Temple where she learned about the Five Gods and received Lyssa's blessing. Then the Searing hit....
Rianna Kaeden
Profession: Assassin
Birthplace: Somewhere on Shing Jea Island, Cantha
Description: Found on the doorstep to the monastery as a baby, no parents ever stepped forward to claim her, no note was ever left. As the Headmasters were debating her fate, something pulled at the heart of the usually cold assassin trainer. Headmaster Lee agreed to take her in her home and teach her the way of the daggers.

Zenaida Alcyon
Profession: Ranger
Birthplace: Near Nolani Academy
Eldest of the Alcyon sisters, her family consisted of wealthy merchants and well travelled salespeople. It is rumored that the name Alcyon is actually a long-ago introduction from the Luxon lands. Zenaida was the gaurdian and warden of her remaining family post searing and still takes care of her siblings when they squabble.
Pica Alcyon
Profession: Mesmer
Birthplace: Near Nolani Academy
Youngest of the Alcyon sisters, Pica continues to be a dependant and spoiled brat, often imposing on her elder sister for money, gear and creature comforts. With a big mouth and a fiery temper, Pica often enrages people much more powerful than herself, which has resulted in her hair being turned silver by a much more powerful mesmer in a duel.
Darya Alcyon
Profession: Warrior
Birthplace: Near Nolani Academy
Darya wandered off soon after searing to find her way in the world, working out a method to slip into Shing Jea Academy and get the training that she found lacking in Ascalon. Darya is a very thoughtful person, often causing others to believe she is a dumb wammo. This is far from the truth.
Huon Tahl
Profession: Elementalist
Birthplace: Near Tanglewood
Educated foremost as an Aeromancer and a fighter for his guild's honor, Huon has a sentimental and romantic heart despite his tendency to make things go Zap! His character is expounded upon in my fan fictions. He is first cousin to Goska and the husband of Dale.
Goska Shadoweaver
Profession: Assassin
Birthplace: Near Tangleroot (same guild as Huon)
Goska's real name is Goseldt Ka or simply Gos. I don't actually know why I didn't give him his real story name, but at the time I was in a fey mood and Goska is a pretty insulting name given to him in his story. Shadoweaver is just a good old assassin moniker. Anyhow, there's a few hundred pages about Gos, but you should know I am incredibly fond of playing this character and he is VERY SPOILED.
Tulome Brauer
Profession: Mesmer
Birthplace: Brauer Academy
Bastard son of a conniving woman and Kurzick nobility, Tulome is a somewhat clueless fellow. Rather handsome, occasionally rash and always ready for a fight (or run away depending how the odds work out). Bad luck follows Tully like a grey cloud, as bourne out by his rather nasty death by ele boss at level 2 survivor. He also has considerable mileage in my fanfics and he's unlucky there as well!
Riles Flayflint
Profession: Necromancer
Birthplace: Droknar's Forge
Son of a butcher, Riles had much hands on work with corpses before taking up his axe and focus and taking his version of vampiric toucher on the road. Riles can generally be found anywhere there are living things with blood inside of them. He's happiest when swinging his axe and stealing life, basically psychotic, foul and violent (typical adventurer). In publich he tries to present himself as sophisticated, but there's just something creepy about him.
Caleb Rainbowmonk
Profession: Monk
Birthplace: Kamadan
Caleb was born to a family of fishmongers that have long been known in the sprawling market of the big Elonian City. He was born blind and his parents thought he would not amount to much in life until the day a Sunspear came to his home. He experienced a revelation of holy power and from that day forward he seeked out temples, but no one could cure his eyes. One day he was travelling and came across a shrine to Melandru. He knelt down and as a passing prayer requested her aid in findind a way to see. Lo and behold that very day, he befriended a flamingo of unusual size, and through their bond he has been able to see through Rosie's eyes eversince. Perhaps Tyria's only seeing-eye flamingo!
Dale Winterhouse
Profession: Ranger
Birthplace: Ascalon, North of the Wall
Dale is my first fan fiction hero. I decided to create her after seeing a face in the Elonian character creation screen that I really liked. Dale is my "oh what the heck" character that I run when I feel like it.
Heh, I may as well jump in too, no? But I shan't be following the patterns the fine folk before me established. I'm much too erratic and rambling for that.
Some of my characters have backstories, some are just names slapped on a pretty avatar, and some began as names slapped on a pretty avatar and evolved into having a backstory.

Armand Leblanc
Birthplace: Somewhere between Over There and That Other Place, in the late summer.
Armand was the second character I created in Guild Wars, the first being an ele that never made it out of Presearing before I got bored and deleted her. I had no idea what I was doing as a mesmer, other than I thought he looked nice. <_<;;; His name was drawn from a pool of NPCs I had created for an RPG that had part of its setting in the French Bordeaux wine country. Initially, nothing special. o/ But I began playing mesmer hardcore, and by the time I beat Prophecies for the first time two months later, I had a fairly solid backstory for him.
His backstory was forged out of a free ticket to "O," the Cirque Du Soleil production at the Bellagio Hotel here in Vegas and books by a journalist named Robert Young Pelton. I'd been reading forum RPGs and fan fiction that often presented mesmers as stereotypical limp-wristed shallow fops or noble snobs, and I wanted something that was completely counter to that.
The net result was a character who may as well be David Copperfield after having been subjected to three weeks of Navy SEAL training. Tough, clever and resourceful and very very determined, but also totally socially retarded. He can be about as sensitive as a brick through a plate glass window when it comes to dealing with other people. In short, just like me. :p When Yggy asked for guest characters for her second Pendaran fanfic, I happily volunteered Armand for it.
I really can't go into too much detail about Armand's backstory, as I don't know if or when Yggy plans to use any of it in her fics, nor how much of it. But, suffice to say, Yggy's got it down perfectly. I <3 her muchly.
Elias Higharrow
Birthplace: Wizard's Folly
Nevermind, I think Elias wants to tell you his story himself.
"So like, I wanted to be a mesmer and stuff, y'know? And like I thought like ya know that I could do stuff like them, but like I went to the theatre and there was this pretty lady there. Oh, maaaan, she was so mean! She laughed at me! she told me I wasn't good looking enough! And y'know, that's just rude."
"Necromancers ... uh, like, no way, dude. I don't do dead things. And, monks, y'know ... relax already. I mean, like, I went to Ashford Abbey and the first thing I saw was like this little cute monk yelling 'Repent!'" at me. Like, what? What'd I do? Then I got this hot, and I mean HOT, elementalist chick telling me I wasn't good enough for them either. Like, y'know, I thought like elements and being a ranger and all might work together, but nooo. Dude. This sucks."
I have more stuff on other characters, but I think I'll post it later.
