She may look human but she is a creature of unknown origin. Just like the horns on her head indicate, she is a demon capable of consuming and destroying magic itself. She has gone so far as to even kill a legendary immortal phoenix to absorb its magic causing her to grow wings with blackened magic-less phoenix feathers. While she herself is unique the clones she uses when she has to fight are equally unique with their own personalities. Even though her nature is intended to be violent and destructive she has a kind and loyal heart which can be easily seen by others due to a halo effect caused by magic energy when she is in good spirits. in the end she only wants to be loved in the lonely world she is living in. Will she find the love she seeks?

Hey so this has been my main character for the past 3 years, this is her 'everyday' look with armor adorned with feathers of her wings. She's also the basis for the story I'm writing involving her and all of my alts. This story doesn't strictly follow gw2 cannon but it is based within the world. I hope to share more of my character looks here in the future. Also my writing skills are crap so don't mind them. Story: https://crimsonfatality.wordpress.com/tainted-phoenix/crimson-fatality/

 AnaChronism Fashion Guru | I see you were going for an evil and devilish look and that's nice I always like those. The horns and wings are of course fitting really well to your theme and story. I think it's a nice base to work with but sadly I am not a fan of that armour mix mostly because there is no real mixture between different pieces besides the shoulders. I get the idea that she consumed the power of a Phoenix and I also adore this whole set but for me it's just not really a creative way to use almost every piece to create an unique look. Maybe you could find another bottom piece or even some other gloves that would match your theme, I am pretty sure that you could have found something :o I sadly don't know which dyes you have used but it looks like you used only one red dye and Abyss maybe. Try to include some other colors, maybe something greyish oder golden it would at least fit to that phoenix- part of your look. I also don't really get the Halo in my oppinion it doesn't really fit. The screens though are looking good, they are diverse and nice. I think your character is a great one, the hair and that face are on point, I also like the story of hers and I like the overall direction you were going for but I would love to see a bit more creativity on her and some mixtures between more than just one armour- set ;) |

 morriganiontko Fashionista | I don't like mixing angelic holo with devil horn, it's two different stories. Also I'm agree with Ana, you should try mix different armor pieces to make your look more unique :) Red dye you have used is beautiful. Think you can go for some dark grey dye, since Reaper Greatsword isn't pure black, so greyish dye would work here. Your character is beautiful and reading story was pleasure ^^ |

 Enforcer84 Wanderer | I like it. Would probably use more colors but i've been known to 2 color it myself. |

 Elessar Taralom Fashionista | I would love if you could specify the dyes since they are quite beautiful but it´s impossible to tell what you used from the screens only I always appreciate it when people made up a story for their characters, so there is a plus for that The combination of the armourpieces though is really lacking, it´s basically just Phoenix armour and it would greatly improve your originality if you would mix a bit more |

 Crimson Fatality Wanderer | I was really going for a 'form fitting armor adorned in lots of feathers that look like they're from her wings' kinda thing which means the phoenix armor has the best matching feathers to the wings unlike on the feathered armor(not the mantle ofc) are short and stubby feathers. Also this is her everyday look which i wasn't going for unique, I think of it like how a lot of people usually just wear a plain old t-shirt and jeans everyday. I do ofc have many other sets I've collect in the 3 years on this character that do consist of items from 6 different sets and have 3-4 different colors. As for this set though I kinda wanted it a bit plain, maybe I'm the only one who likes it this way since I haven't seen a person in full phoenix in a while :P As for the dyes I uploaded these pics at 5am with no sleep so I didn't bother to do the dyes at that time I have now updated it. For the feathers, unless the lighting is really wonky when taking screenshots they're usually black. The reds are a mixture of I think 6 different ones which sadly the differences seem to get lost in the screenshots but I do see them in game at max settings. I did not want to use any gold or oranges to give the impression of 'fire' since the phoenix is dead(yea yea I know they can't die think of it like an anime where anything can happen) which is why the feathers are black. And going back to anime there are a few out there that have the whole demon and angel thing. I am quite fascinated at the thought of two opposing sides being contained in one vessel, kinda like good and bad conscience in people. Glad you like the face, I did recently spend about an hour remaking it trying to make it look very similar to her original face she had since she was created. I did always envision her with dark red lips which weren't available back then. As for the hair it's style changes often but is always red, I just need more accessory colors. Hopefully you'll like her other outfits once I get a chance to post them. Thanks for your input. :) |

Crimson Fatality Wanderer | Yea I get not a lot of people are a fan of the whole halo with devil horns thing but it does crop up in anime and like I told Ana I see it as like how people have a good and bad conscience within them just a little more extreme though. Also yea this is her plain old outfit and I do like the look of the full phoenix outfit which I explained why above. Also the red dye is a combination of several different ones which is pretty hard to notice especially in the screenies. The feathers on the phoenix set bounce between a grey similar to what's on the sword to pretty close to the black of the wings it just depends on lighting. I would dye parts of the armor to a grey to match the sword but I find the way the dye channels work between the top and bottom looks very off putting to me so I'm going to keep them just one color for now. Thanks for checking it out. |

Crimson Fatality Wanderer | Thanks, I find the 2 colors also looks a little more clean and simple. Her others sets do use more colors though :D |

Crimson Fatality Wanderer | I've updated the dyes and they're pretty simple, just reds and black. As for the armor yea I know it's plain but I find it looks perfect for her as as set (minus the giant shoulders and weird eye patch). I wasn't really going for a unique combination, just wanted something clean and simple that had feathers that matched the wings. She does have other sets too, this is just her everyday plain one. Thanks for checking it out. |

 Jeknar Fashion Collector | I'm curious: Is that you? (http://41.media.tumblr.com/a561a2ff321bd23578b985b412178fe5/tumblr_nxeybkqnEc1uos19co1_1280.jpg) |

AnaChronism Fashion Guru | It's good to hear why you were going for the armour and what your intentions were. If you think of it as an anime- thing it sure is possible to use Halo and Horns xD In general you represented the essence of your story and theme quite well and that is still a thing I like. I am personally still not a fan of the same armour pieces but I respect your choice and understand the essence of that look a bit more :) I know the issue of different red- dyes that are kinda the same looking on screens but not in game but now I know and thank you for the addition ^^ But now I am curious now about the other looks you made for her! Totally looking forward to see those :3 |

Crimson Fatality Wanderer | Yes that is her, I had that commissioned back before I changed her face to the current one. |

Jeknar Fashion Collector | Thought so... When I saw the screenshots I instantly associated it. Anyway, I like the look. It's true that there isn't a mix of the armor, but everything fit so nicely on theme that it would be a injustice rate it low just for that (and I personally love phoenix armor myself). |
