Who Am I?
Long time Guild Wars player, former Diablo II player, currently Guild Wars 2 addict. Basiner.
Guild Wars 2 has been a natural fit for me, moving right in from the original. In the switch to the new game, I was also asked to step into the Basin roles of Game Council member and PvP Coordinator. This means I head up the Basin's WvW Commanders -- I help enable them to lead the Basin into battle, though I find myself doing little leading currently. I'll also help round up a structured PvP group or two at some point, though we, as a guild, haven't done much in that venue yet.
This comes after a long spell as de facto GvG organizer for GW1, where I led approximately 8 distinct groups of players in tournaments, ladder play, and weekly team groups. The 8v8 format seemed to fit me well -- it was big enough to allow tactics and organization to carry the day, while small enough to not eliminate the need for individual skill. In GW2, I find sPvP to be too duel-oriented and WvW to be too zerg oriented. That said, I enjoy both PvP venues, and also like running organized PvE, especially in hard dungeons and bigger Guild Missions and meta-events.

Morello, namesake of several old Diablo toons, is a Dervish of Dazzling Deeds. My first Guild Wars character, I chose the profession because it promised the best looking armor and the coolest weapon. A big fan of the two-hand barbarian, a whirling dervish seemed the best fit... not the world's best tank, but she can put out some serious damage. She also serves the role of runner and farmer -- the real breadwinner of my GW family.
Photos of Morello show her in Elite Sunspear Leggings, Istani Top, and Sunspear Shoes/Gloves. She is saving up for GW:EN's armor selection...

Amelie Le Rouge
Canthan Warrior
| http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~ecoon/Play5.jpg | This is my main PvP slot, a warrior with quite a few Guild Battles under her belt. She and her PvP-only predecessor have led six different Team GvG events -- GvG Teams consisting of 8 players plus alternates, playing together as a team on the same build for about two months. These teams have done quite well, competing in both Guru and RAWR Cup tourneys. She tends to play meta-friendly GvG builds, including hammer, axe, and sword bars. The hammer is her favorite weapon, and she loves nothing better than thumping monks into the dirt.

Veronique Le Rouge
Canthan Necromancer
| http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~ecoon/Play5.jpg | Veronique started as a plan for a curse necro, but quickly found that all the cool curses were learned in other continents. So she changed her mind and became a vampire for most of her life -- there's nothing more fun than stealing monster life-blood. Now that she's older and wiser, she's taken advantage of the best energy management a few souls can buy, and has played the role of curse necro, ellie nuker, rit healer, 55 monk, and nearly any caster-role imaginable.
Photos of Veronique show her in her unique Kurzick/Tyrian combination armor.
