Ah! Time for the stone commander!

Leaves crunched softly under foot as Sig crept through the forest, bow drawn as she followed the tracks of a deer. It wasn’t hard work, she’d managed to sink an arrow into it’s shoulder earlier and so in it’s frenzy to escape it had left a clear path of broken branches and blood spatters across the dirt. The shot must have been better than she thought though, there were various scratches to the tree bark around and the blood spatters were bigger than she had expected.

For a few minutes she continued to track the path, thinking nothing of it, enjoying the silence of the forest. Something seemed to click in her mind though as she came to an abrupt stop. Silence. The forest here was silent. But…that wasn’t right. Hadn’t she just been using the cover of life to mask the sound of her steps?

The hair on the back of her neck began to rise, something wasn’t right here. More cautious now, she began to quickly follow the trail. She could hear a stream nearby, but her trained ears also picked up the irregular sounds of something splashing in the water. 

Sig stepped out of the tree line, quickly flashing her eyes across the stream before her. To her surprise, the deer WAS there, but she still felt uneasy and kept a careful eye around her as she approached it. The animal was dying now, fallen over in the stream and too weak to stand. Along with her arrow, there were some deep gashes across it’s shoulder and back. “Hm.” The biggest animal that lived in these forests was probably a bear, and Sig’s ranger knowledge told her this was certainly not a bear attack.

A twig snapping behind her had Sig spinning around in time to see a ruddy furred charr pouncing at her, claws outstretched. She rolled forward quickly, spinning around and kicking at the charr’s back as it landed. Up close, she could see the charr was almost more injured than the deer, with a large open zigzagging wound running behind her shoulder. It was fresh enough that it still oozed and her fur shone sticky red with blood. Where usually Sig would probably just abscond, her curiosity was piqued.

1. When did you start playing?

August of last year, actually, during the Festival of the Four Winds! 

2. What was your first characters race/class (profession)?

My first character was actually an Asura Ranger, and that character is who developed into Pukh! Original name was ‘Milaya Pukh’ based around another character of mine but Pukh has officially claimed the name and now both Ranger and Guardian Pukh have matching names, Magister Pukh (one just has an accent.)

3. How many characters do you have?

If we’re counting both Pukh versions as one, and NOT counting NPC look-alikes (I have a few, they’re fun ^^;) then 5 at the moment! There’s a sixth planned too! I have three NPC lookalikes atm (a Trahearne, a Canach, and a Sieran) plus a key run slot as well.

4. What's your favourite race?

Uhh you wouldn’t guess it from what I main but Sylvari, honestly. I really enjoy the blank slate they give in terms of backstory and culture vs the other races. Asura is a very close runner up though.

5. What's your least favourite race?

Hmmm probably Charr? Simply on the merit that I actually really struggle to wrap my head around their lore. I really love all the races though, so it’s really just ‘least favorite’ and not ‘disliked,’ I swear!

28. Do you play with sound on or off?

On but I keep everything pretty low because I usually listen to music or twitch in the background! 

31. Do you have a favourite dye?

Bloodstone Dark Coral and Crush are my two favorites!

38. Best memory in guild wars?

Gosh, I’ve had so many good ones. I love all the events I do with my guild, the people are truly some of the best I’ve met ♥ One of my favorites was doing LW stories and one guy died next to a tree... so I helped out and harvested the tree before rezzing. 

3. How many characters do you have?

in game i have 4 - one of which is just a mock-up of my main - but i have many character concepts that aren’t exactly made yet (mostly bc im broke and cant afford character slots)

4. What’s your favourite race?

this might come as a shocker to some but its sylvari

39. Do you stick to one character mostly or are you an altoholic?

Sorry I took sooo long on this one, I’ve had the idea for a while but just haven’t had the energy to write recently ^^ Trying to change that, hope you enjoy this.

warnings for abuse below the cut, Aildyn entered into their first actual relationship and it isn’t a good one.

Aildyn laughs, clear and bright. "Stop being so damn attractive, Braham! Who are you even trying to show off to, the fight coordinator?" They elbow him in his hip as he rejoins them on the walkway, flexing at them with a mischievous grin. 

"What, you got a problem with me showing off? Jealous that I'm better at this than you are?"

"Please, you can't even get past Subject 7."
