Gw2cw: Day 1 - Tumblr Posts

gw2 commander week

day 1: race

gareth sorel (he/himself)

gareth is a human. i've seen discussion of people's first character being the one that ends up being their commander. that wasn't the case for me! gareth is one of the earliest characters i made. but he's the first character i made with being a commander in mind. when i first got into guild wars 2 i made a human character because i thought the humans of tyria would be the general everyman. (like many other fantasy settings.) so i thought humans would one to learn the game and lore. oh boy i was wrong! tyrian humans have a very rich lore! the first game focuses on them. so there's a whole legacy to humans in this world! so i ended up crash coursing myself on human lore while first plotting out gareth. it was a wild ride! to this day i'm team human, and i have quite a few of them on my roster.

the wyldcaller (he/himself; it/itself)

the wyldcaller is a sylvari. between my two (current!) commanders, the wyldcaller is the one that i made the most recently. as it turns out: the sylvari are great for learning the gw2 lore on! i love sylvari they very quickly became my favorite. so it only felt right to make a sylvari commander. after all: sylvari make up most of my roster.
