You've happened upon the journal of an Inquest researcher. You open it up, to find a slightly disturbing series of events...
~~
Season of the Scion 1326
5 - Captured a young sylvari, fresh out of Astorea. She seems rather malleable; a good test subject.
7 - Experiments begun. Some resistance shown at first; babbling about the Mother Tree.
19 - Resistance seems to have ceased. Tests begun in earnest. Seems to be shaping up well as a herbaceous, living weapon.
49 - Training going well. Have outfitted Subject S, as I have named her, in a suit of lightweight metal and leather armor. She appears to be proficient with daggers and firearms.
62 - Found Subject S fiddling with a tree branch. Unsure of branch's provenance, but S was clearly attempting to use it as a Canthan-style fighting staff.
90 - S has crafted a short bow out of one of my captive devourers. Smart little cabbage, she'd killed it herself.
~~
Season of the Colossus 1326
16 - S becoming increasingly skilled with blades. I don't have to push her to train at this point. Goal of living weapon achieved; now to keep her loyal, and prevent her from making her little inventions.
23 - S now once again self-aware... and hostile. I fear I may be in danger.
~~
The next day, she left, with her armor and arsenal of weapons, determined to end Inquest abuse of her kind... but not before slitting her captor's throat.
------------
So, I was burned out for a while. Now I'm back. And I got alt number 12 (!) to 80. This theme isn't something I'm used to working with (for once, I think I'm bending the lore a bit!), so it was a fun little challenge to get an armor mix together and find places for screens.

Notes:
- For once, I used cheap dyes. I may upgrade to Glacial Teal at some point. But not today.
- I couldn't afford to get more than one Dominator skin, so I simply got the staff - the main inspiration here - and made do for the rest. I was going to get the Dominator shortbow as well, then Rox's shortbow skin came back into the store, and I realized how similar the two weapons' color schemes are.
- Weapon I can't specify: Dominator Staff
- Thank you to Elessar and Hylek for their human inspirations for this look!

Realy love this look, great dye and armor combo. Don't know if it's intentional but your Sylvari reminds me of the Asari race from the mass effect world . Gold from me !

You're not the first one to say that. Wasn't intentional, but works out just fine, haha. Thanks so much!

Very cool look for the dominator staff! Brings back some memories ;D
I love how you used the legpiece, the thin yellowish lines fit those of the staff perfectly!
Great screenshots on top, Gold from me! :D

Your story is gold by itself. I like how her backstory is actually fitting with canon rather than some space alien mistwalker. This way I can see she's just been warped my Asuran magitech. I love the way the dominator staff matches her hair. Screens are awesome and it's interesting to hear where they were taken.

From all of your looks, this one might be the one I like most. The armor, the weapons and the look of your character fit perfectly together. I love how the colors come out in the first 11 screenshots. In the character select screen the dyes look a bit pale, but you already mentioned yourself, that you might upgrade to glacial teal in the future^^
Overall your character looks just awesome and your presentation is great.
Gold ofc :)
