So, I think it is time to have a contest. This is a mix of simply fun/build interest/prepare for GW2.

To put it simply, this is not an in game contest.

Basically, what I am thinking is everyone should include a basic bio for a proposed GW2 character.

What YOU need to do:
Just provide some sort of bio for a character in the world of GW2. Don't worry about it being totally accurate yet. This is just for fun. We know enough about the world of GW2 now that you should be able to mesh things pretty well. You can be Human/Charr/Norn/Asuran/Sylvari, you can be a proud soldier, a thief trying to survive, a mage looking to unlock the eternal alchemy, a loner looking to find revenge on the dragons, whatever you want. Just enjoy it.

A short story or something a bit more creative would be fun to read for everyone, but I will take anything. Story, Character Sheet, you decide. Obviously the more in depth and interesting you make it, the better your chances.

What you WIN!
I had thought about making it a mini or some such, but that seems far too small scale for this sort of thing. So instead, I will offer help in getting you a few HoM related items. This is a bit more robust as you can ask for a variety of things. Help with missions, some help getting weapons, minis, etc.

A few caveats, though. I can't help with Vabbian Armor or Obsidian Armor, at least not fully. If you want a few ecto,shards,etc. that I can do. But I can't help you get the full thing, sadly. I'm not that filthy rich. :) This sort of leads into a few other minor things. When I say a few HoM items, I can't afford a full ten minipets to get you another full point. But I can get you a nice handful that you don't have currently. You guys will just have to be a bit kind to me and give me some reasonable goals.

ALSO
I'll be asking a few impartial judges to decide who they like the best, so don't feel I'll choose those I simply like the best.

And just as a final thing, let's say unless there are four people who post something, minimum, I don't really want to go through with this. Not that I am not interested, but I want it to be a real contest. Not a give away to the one person who put 2 minutes into it.

Pretty cool idea, admittedly I haven't really put much thought into who/what I'll play in GW2 yet. It'd be cool to start up a guild and already know who some of the main characters in it were.

Figured I should post to show interest so that others might as well. I'll try to come up with something later.

I hate to reply with little more than "seconded," but it's better than not replying at all.

Think I'll put something together even if there aren't enough people for a contest, in fact. My creative wheels need some greasing. So to speak.

I'll probably be the only one participating, but at some point I do still intend to write something up for this. Just haven't found the free time to think about it yet.

Since GW2 will allow each character one and only one profession, with no option to switch professions after creation, I may actually play an alt or three in this game like I did long long ago in EQ. I'd love to play an Asura Necromancer just because the concept makes me giggle maniacally... I think a tiny Asura's huge ego could be a perfect fit for a Necro. :P Wanna play a Thief too, and of course an Elementalist again as I've always been drawn to caster types. Not sure which races yet. Ranger? Possible. Warrior? No. Guardian? Mayyyybe.

Bumping because Engineer. Think I'd enjoy playing one of them, too...
