They are **CONSIDERABLY** close to Orr. Plus, since some dragons were corrupted by Vizier Khilerbron, who is **CORRUPTED** .
So yeah, they had no interaction with elder dragon corruption.

You can get it with black lion statuettes.

Ok! Thanks, I'll probably go charr engineer. Especially since I got Fixer Upper from Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock. Thanks for commenting!

How then would we put the screenshot on igmur?

How do you post pictures?

What would make the coolest(or most lore friendly) engineer?

Lol. Good job on making an Eir look-a-like! Where's Garm though?

Wow. I am stunned. I remember seeing your character from the screen-shot thread I saw. The picture looks so realistic!
Kudos!
Charr forever! =3

Ty you much!

Also like how in the grove when you visit Caithe's house she is not branded, even if you have completed LWS 4 and the instance where Aurene brands Caithe.

Excuse me, I personally love that look and would like to know what skins are those so... what skins are those? Anyone who can identify them please comment. from headgear to the boots please.

What skins are those???

Oh.

How then would you take videos?

Ahh.

There is no god but Jesus and his Father, God.

Can someone please show pictures of male charr warriors. I have recently made one. This will choose whether I boost him or not. Also, please tell me what skins they are.-(Probably implied.)

Like...(Quote on quote) "I've made life! Of a sort."

Well, there is a revenant in the heart of the mists you spar with. It is a Sylvari.

>
> The artist drew leaves for the appearance of a beard and not hair, and several sylvari display facial-hair like features so this is not a stretch. Their entire facial and body features are made of leaves layered on top of each other like an un-bloomed cabbage, nothing suggests that this isn't a possibility for a Sylvari to grow beard-like features with broader types of leaves like the artist here depicted. A Dandelion leaf beard would be pretty neat, I think. As mentioned I feel like it is reminiscent of medieval art of the Green Man, a popular motif with leafy greens standing in for a wild beard.

> Second...
> **OBJECTION!**
> Zojja may be bald but Asura are _not_ naturally bald. Zojja has eyelashes, so it's likely she shaves her head-- having one's entire egghead on full display and unobscured by hair is probably considered attractive, who knows. Flimsy lore excuseplanations aside, Zojja's almost certainly only bald because the existing hairstyles clashed with the helmet they designed for her, and that's all. If the cultural armor was designed before she was, however, then it was simply a matter of choosing to have the character be bald because the helm just _does that_ and they didn't bother altering her model to have hair with it when it will take the hair off Player characters.
>
> Helmet baldness means nothing, for by that logic all humans are bald, norn are naturally clean-shaven, and charr horns are all fakes, because they come off with with a good majority of headgear (see the [Top Hat](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Top_Hat) for a prime example of completely unnecessary baldness on a human female!)
> Only the Swaggering Hat doesn't take your hair off, because they included a hairstyle for each race as part of the hat itself. Most helms that aren't headband style like bunny ears will em-balden your character. Anet's inability to mitigate hair vs full helm clipping issues is not a valid source for lore.
>
> The [concept art](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/3/3e/Gixx_concept_art.jpg), and even going back to Eye of the North where they were introduced, shows that Asura have always had hair, and [yes even facial hair.](https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Mamp)
> Some of the reeeally old second pass concepts had them mostly bald, but since they clearly have noses now and aren't goblin troglodytes I hardly think that counts as valid representation of what we see in the game today and what was established in GW1. Them not having beards in spite of Steward Gixx (first image) and [Professor Bronk](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Biography_Bronk.png) showing clearly they could in concept art that is shown to us both at creation and as a loading screen, is a result of just being lazy and not caring enough to be consistent.
>
> Also, even if they were bald (which they are not) and those were wigs, with the ability to simulate close shaved hair they would definitely be able to wear stick-on facial hair that looks real.
>
> (This is all probably too much for a reply as you probably don't care, but I see the bald Asura comment a lot and feel compelled to weigh in)

Hmm... what if they just wear a wig?
