After a good month of chipping away at this piece, it's ready ^v^ A lot of love and care went into this piece, and I am very proud of both the process it went through, and the end result! It was so meditative to work on this, and I feel how much I improved. :)

Process shots to come!

lmao

Canach is a guy who had no initial purpose but went through such trauma that it warped him into cruel intentions he ultimately regretted, and now he’s a man who has an edge to his personality but he clearly intrinsically wants to do good and is so fast to step up and help whenever he’s anywhere remotely near trouble! He has healed up at every stage possible, even when stripped and tortured he joins the fight rather than stepping back for healing to let you handle things yourself. He cares so deeply and he genuinely wants to help! Sure he’ll joke and verbally jab at you but he pulls through whenever he can.

Trahearne is a guy who from day one was told what his job is, but he isn’t truly compelled by a sense of right or wrong do much as just completing the checklist his Hunt gave him. He lived alone for years in a hostile environment and the only people he could connect (that we saw) with were his sister Caithe, a couple sylvari girlfriends who were isolated from other sylvari, and a bounty hunter from a reputably ruthless race. He isn’t a morally good man he’s morally grey and neutrally motivated at best, and has saved the world essentially through “it’ll help what my checklist has on it” more than wanting to save millions of lives. Hell, when the pact forms he doesn’t even want to run it alone and has periods of radio silence between world events that have to concern him.

I wanted to add @commanders-sole-braincell​‘s tags as well as agreeing that they would have been very interesting foils

Just to add on, here are some old things (including season 1) Canach said so we don’t forget the origin of this grudge:

Canach living around this sort of firstborn worship and seeing firstborns run pretty much every little thing in the grove? Of course they’re stuck up and seeking praise constantly. But then he meets Trahearne, for a brief time but a very very important one nonetheless. And this isn’t the man the other sylvari made him out to be.

And the point at which Trahearne gains that respect from Canach is the same point at which he requests that you kill him, and then that’s it. But gods if there could’ve been more! If HoT hadn’t had so many issues and been such a rush job, and they hadn’t intended to wrap up the sylvari plot so roughly. I want the ups and downs of Canach and Trahearne interacting and how their personalities and principles clash despite their undoubtably immense respect for each other in being here.
