outofmymind
outofmymindokay, I think this is becoming my gw2 chara overview post. sevil, don't ask difficult questions, really.. or do because it is an opportunity to find something interesting out. okay, so here goes the short description of all mine in relation to the asked question. I will put in the links to the longer introductions as soon as they are out.
hm.. which character surprised me the most? I like them all. I have a few rough drafts for more charas but I need to go over them again and find some nice pix. so you can get to know them better too.
they usually are born in certain mindsets or moods and I always feel that when we are running around together. I am aware of it, not always happy but what can you do. we are who we are.
In that regard I absolutely love my Zuki, she is always and forever questioning the world and looking at it with big surprised eyes. she was born in a happy moment, wanting to explore and have fun. she usually does. I think when I log on with her and she smiles her happy smile and jumps around it gets to me, all the time. sometimes I am surprised how quickly she can make me smile too so she is quite up there on the list.
if I keep going roughly by age.. a short recap here to Rún, my eldest. she is a lot like me most days so I usually am not surprised by her actions or reactions. I am happy though if every now and then she tries something new or let's someone in. being closed off and keeping things close to your chest isn't always healthy. she keeps trying but I believe some things are just not in our nature.
Seren as my second oldest is very tentative and shy, she is a bit scared and weary of the world but since she has her pets with her she dares step forward and go see the world.
Nomi is mostly doing his own thing and he let's people talk about what they want (you know what they want ^^) he brushes it off often enough and he tries not to show if he is affected or not. though lately he enjoys that light bit of flirting. he can't keep it from happening so why not join in.
Caoymha.. she is .. different. as a Sylvari she has so refined manners and always tries to be a good girl. sometimes it hinders her in doing what would be wiser or helping her out more, she is a little lonely. compared to many other of my characters I don't think she has a close friend. no one runs with her.. she is definitely the elegant lady though.
Hoshi, now she is easy. she always was easy to play and to dress and she is just a simple Norn. she goes out, she looks up to the stars, howls with the wolves and kills something evil. easy-peasy. she has a bit of a loner in her but not an unhappy one. she and Skuddles will run and find something to do.
Now Aymi is another story; she's the youngest of the Asura trio and she always felt that. again a need to proof something (recurring theme here it seems). Ephy made so many friends and ran around all the time and practically with everyone, she grew up fast and was in a different world. that was okay. she is the oldest, they mold the form. but then she felt left by Tiri too, after some running together he ran away. and now he is grown too. but Aymi always knew she would build something cool and she is on her way there now. she can stand on her own feet and be super-strong. she hasn't got a codename for nothin'. ^^
Wow, Tíarnán, a thief rerolled. I love the way he moves and does things (male Sylvari in general). but after we ran around a while I noticed he is kinda empty inside. that might scare you (and me too a little), but he is. he plays the brave tree-soldier for the good of the land but I honestly don't think he cares that much. if someone he likes asks him for something, he will try and help because those people are the only things he cares about sometimes. and that can be dangerous (well, mostly for the ones who try to hurt him or the ones he likes) but imagine the wrath that can fill him when there is nothing else. [side note: I knew for a while my pretty only plays a role with his cutie backpack and shy demeanor to hide that side of him, so no, not surprised.]
Tyryr, growly kitten, was only supposed to find out more about kitties for me. but he simply is an adoringly strange, furry goofball. maybe it was because Leikasz was with him, maybe he was born on a goof day, I cannot be sure yet. but he is so sweet and funny, so open in his reactions and things he says. plus, he growls so beautifully. how can I not totally surprisingly fall for him?
so I guess that's the answer. I seem most surprised by the "so cute and enjoyable and endearingly, adorably strange and funny" ones as Rún once put it. maybe it is because often that seems so foreign to me or because I love it because it is so opposite of what I or many of my characters often are. I will have to think on that more.
edit: Happy Birthday Rún and Seren. Your first year on Tyria was adventurous and dangerous and fun. To many more!

It's interesting seeing you talk about the characters I don't know that well, like Seren, Caoymha or Tíarnán. I do remember Caoymha and Leikasz having fun with the water buckets in that garden somewhere in Ascalon, where you have to water the flowers, weed out the bad plants and dispel grubs for the heart? Same day they tried to dance in concert with Gwan, but Leikasz just couldn't manage. So maybe they're not friends yet, but I know Leikasz definitely would like to run with her again. Elegant Sylvari to elegant Sylvari, so to speak^^
Tíarnán is interesting. I can't remember who of my charas know him already, I think it might've been Brúmmel that day when all of us did the story where he became a minotaur, and maybe Kylee or Ephy once or twice for a short time? All I know is that all of them kept their distance for some reason. It might be interesting to see Fitz' reaction to him.
For all that I have played Seren a little back in the days when I hadn't an account of my own, and for all it persuaded me to go with ranger first, none of my characters really know her.
Have I told you that Ephy absolutely loves it when Hoshi calls her "Ephs"? The easy acceptance makes her feel like she belongs.
I didn't know Aymi felt so abandoned. I could see that it took her hard when Ephy left to explore on her own, but I don't think anyone or anything could've stopped Ephy in that situation. She thinks her little sis is totally badass, though, and she loves the helmet and the nickname. Ephy never had a close relationship with her family or krewe, or anyone, for that matter, but if she's gonna choose anyone, she's gonna choose Aymi. Even though they are very different in some things and far too similar in others (having to proof something, stubbornness etc.). Also, Merry really like floppy ears^^
Now Nomi's development is interesting. Leikasz is pretty much convinced Nomi and Lumbo are transitioning from the awkward "yes, maybe there actually is a relationship" phase into the even more awkward "figuring out how this relationship works" phase, including how to behave in front of other people. She likes them well enough, doesn't know them that well, really, but she gets frustrated with the awkward stepping around each other sometimes.
Interestingly enough, none of my charas know Zuki that well. They got told all the stories, of course, but few have actually met her and even fewer ran with her and Aro. I know she was very kind to Leikasz when she was very young, helping her weapons training and figuring out how life as an elementalist works. And Merry is gonna be her Zofe, of course, when Aro is Weltherrscher and she's his queen. But that's about it, I think.
And Rún, well, she kinda broke Fitz' heart, but that's mostly his fault and he knows it.
