User:Aranel Selari

About Me I was born in 1984, and have lived all my life on the east coast of the United States. I've always been a bit of a brainy gamer geek and a bookworm. I am an Anglophile, and intend to soon live abroad. I started playing Guild Wars several months after it's release, after playing such games like The Matrix Online. For a while I and my partner were the only members of the guild, Dark Knights of the Dahaka [DKoD]. We enjoyed many hours of charging through Prophecies and struggling to not die in the process. We met many wonderful friends in pugs this way and by the time Factions was released, we joined a new guild, Ordo Templi Orientis [OTO] and made many friends there. By the time the first Canthan festival came upon us, we encountered a guild of individuals that had enabled many districts to get all the ingredients needed for the feast. It was a guild of well respected, wonderful individuals, in a place we knew would feel like home. Since joining Angel Sharks [As] within the [DVDF] Alliance in 2007, it was indeed my perma home. I own all the games, and have completed most of them on each character. At this point I have 18 characters, and am thinking about more. I was a proud officer of Angel Sharks, and have been proud to serve the [DVDF] community, and as such I am usually busy helping people any way I can. After breaking from [DVDF] in 2008, Angel Sharks faces a new beginning, and I am still proud of how much we as a guild have achieved. Currently, while I am acting leader of Angel Sharks, I am more that of a caretaker, and I hold small events every Tuesday afternoon on occassion. In 2009 Angel Sharks departed ways with the [BPS] gaming clan and joined our old friends [Celt] in a luxon alliance. Ultimately I am a PvE player, and occassionally participate in AB matches, with Mesmer or Ranger. I'd love to learn some of the harder stuff, though. My least favourite class is Warrior, while my favourite class is Necromancer. Keep in mind, I do not believe in storage characters. All my characters are packed with stuff, but they must be utilized, as I find having a character but not using them is simply a waste of money. I am indeed a packrat, but am extremely shrewd when it comes to purchasing things. I look for bargains, I buy cheap and sell when it's prudent, save all the time, and finally make sure nothing is wasted. In my spare time, i'm an avid reader, family history researcher, writer, and am commonly found on XBL.

She enjoys making frightened assassins tank when no leeroys are available. She has all Monk skills and elites unlocked. Often considered a perfectionist, she could ramble on at you how her hair is turning white from all the leeroys and.... Indra also utilizes a variety of special weapons. Her favourite is Kephet's Staff and Wenslauss Faith. Usuaully she carries her beloved shield and spear in more difficult zones. Indra will also one day publish her great thesis -- "An Idiot's Guide to Monking."

She later moved onto using a strange mix of Minion Mastery and Blood Magic. She remembers the days when Minions were endless and the pure superpower of everything. Unfortunately she could never be around anyone that had a MM in the party due to severe lag. Eventually little LJ grew up and began to understand how powerful a Necromancer could be. She is now an experienced MM yet loathes Minion Bombing and hopes that Anet will somehow make it easier. Her primary skillbar is usually Spiteful Spirit, but she also delves into Restoration Healing, and has even Bonded! When she is forced to Ursan she carries her Zodiac Sword and Geoffer's Bullwark. LJ (who is modeled after a relative), eventually got to be my primary character and beloved above all, having the most titles. I never get bored of playing a Necromancer, they truly are a great class to play. LJ has ALL class elites unlocked. Emma Devrai Place of Birth: Tyria Experience Points: 7 Million XP.

I hurta teh Raptorz Vaettir Fear Me No Kurzicks Will Stand in My Way Armor: Elite Kurzick Vanguard Armor Minipet: Prince Rurik Aiming for: More ectos! finishing the rest of the campaigns Other: Bea was created in a time when most assassins couldn't get into a party, and did stupid things when they did get into one. As such, she didn't get played with alot, especially after her failed survivor attempt. Now she's back out of retirement, and enjoys beating up enemies in UW. When she hasn't got her hands on zealous daggers, she finds her perfect Onyx Staff is great for beating up those Mindblades. She's also been seen hanging around Raptors...until Vaettir came calling..

However she has so far been the only character to complete War in Kryta, and makes successful trips to DoA. A Special Note: One day Isis was in a cranky mood in the depths of DoA. She didn't want to be a meanie to anyone because of her attitude so she decided to speak entirely in HUT's. Since then she became known as Ara the Hut, and exclaims 'HUT!' only when she's in DoA. This cheered all her friends, and the act of 'hutting' has been happening ever since. Sati Vishnu Place of Birth: Elona Experience Points: 954,856 XP Time Played: 156hrs. Deaths: 69.

Playing her makes me extremely annoyed, as I've never felt comfortable with a tank type character and the skills available. I wish I could get better and learn something new. She does have a large collection of swords and shields... too many. After some thought, I made an attempt to come to an understanding with Athena, and we made a deal, that we'd go and obtain Legendary Vanquisher if she'd behave herself. If she's really good she might just go out and get Legendary Survivor... maybe.
