I guess somebody had to do it.
My interpretation of Kratos from the new God of War game.
Tried to keep it as close to the source as possible, which is not completely identitcal due to Guildwars 2's armor and body tattoo possibilities.
Chose Norn for obvious reasons (Norns being the bulky, strong, big muscle types, with tattoos and beard/face options perfect for kratos).
Because there is no fitting tattoo option for Kratos's body, I chose to dye the barbaric coat (which covers the side where normally Kratos' tattoo would be) dark red.
Gauntlets are optional, even though he has a gauntlet on his left hand in the game. (Heritage gauntlets fit nicely, but I preferred without them).
As for his axe, there is no one that truly fits the one he is wielding in-game, so this is more personal preference, I chose Darksteel Axe.
Same with shield, any round shield will do, I chose Guardian of the Six in this case.
Overall, I tried to keep the dyes simple and attainable, same with the armor, so you can easily recreate the look.
As for Kratos himself, a tiny background:
Nicknamed 'Ghost of Sparta' was a Spartan hero that lost his wife and daughter, their ashes is what make his skin pale. His tattoo is shaped like his lost brother's birthmark.
He ascended to godhood and killed most of the Greek pantheon and a bunch of titans. He left greece to live as a mortal in Norse lands.
Will probably add some new screenshots later, also, feel free to give suggestions!
I think the Mask of the Wanderer would also be a good option for the face tattoo, definitely! Sadly I do not have it unlocked yet, so I had to make due with the norn racial tattoo.
