Cerioth.7062 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 If GW2 had more than 5 races, for example hylek, skritt, kodan, tengu, quaggan and so on, what would your characters be named? Let's pretend that your name would be available even if it is taken already. Would you have lore-friendly names, witty names or silly names? Tell us your examples!

Tell us your examples!Well, given that I called a SWTOR character "Be-bop'alula" (victim of me creating a character while there was a song brain-worming in my head, poor thing), I don't think there's much chance of the names being lore-friendly.Lest you doubt me, here's a screen-shot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I've often joked that I'm not making any more permanent characters until tengu are added, because then I can call him Seahawk and he'll be my 12th man. (Which is what the team call their fans.)(No I don't live in Seattle, and I'm not an American football fan, but I do have friends who are big fans so apparently I have to like them too, and the mildly amusing joke no one else would get is appealing to me.)

Sylvari.2953 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 If we had more than 5 races I would still play Sylvari only, all of my characters are Sylvari. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rauderi.8706 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Gah, I still want at least proper Outfits for alternate-race options. (But with the head issue in old cutscenes, it'd be weirrrrd.) But, I've been craving characters specifically from names/concepts, and though we won't see new races, I hold out for it. :)Kodan: Bygone SummerTengu Necro: [something Japanese Canthan] Blackstanza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokubas.4265 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I think I had a Tengu name planned at one point, but I don't recall what it was (they were at least going to be a Guardian, but I've since made one). If something as difficult to handle as Centaur were ever made playable, I'd probably reuse a name from one of my personal (non-Guild Wars, that is) centaur characters. Other than that, I don't really have any plans, but I'd be happy to have an official reason to make them. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Like my current characters, most of them would be more or less lore-ish, probably eventually with some silly ones as key farmers got promoted to the permanent roster.I suppose 'Reepicheep' would be taken as soon as the skritt hit the fan.
