Abbadon simply and truly because abbadon has six eyes and kormir has no eyes. Just kidding I like him because he is a fallen god and causes a lot of turmoil and strife and without these two things life is BORING.

Abaddon for me because the entire NF story as you go through it paints him as the victim in all of this. He's a promethean figure, a god who broke the rules and was punished for it in wanting to grant mortals power the other gods never wanted us to have because they wanted us to be easier to control.

Abaddon is the single greatest hero of the GW world. Sure, as a god of secrets he sucks pretty badly, being unable to keep the things to himself, but as a god in general? Nobody's more worthy of respect as a god than him.

She doesnt get head over wheels with her power. Yes, she's an old god, but shes also earth and her sense of humility is worth being admired as much as her kindness and beauty.

Wish there would be a druid class in gw like in WoW... My main chara is a R/E with druid armor; its as close at it gets.
Completely true.

I'm a huge fan of nature, and i'm a fan of the greek goddess Demeter. Rangers are my favorite class due to the connection with nature and animals. I almost always play with a pet, just to have nature helping me out.
I always thought the Ele's would be cool, thinking they would 'control' nature. Yet it's more magical spells then having nature doing things for you.

Rangers for me, so i worship Melandru .

Abaddon. That bastage has been beating me down for a couple of hours now. When I beat him, I'd vote Grenth. Dervish FTW!

unless I'm mistaken, which I highly doupt, Grenth is not the God of Destruction, only God of Death and Ice. If anyone falls under the Destruction catagory, I would have to say Menzies.

Hear hear!! That end movie of the Charr/Vanguard line was the most FTW I've seen in this game. And yes it seems the Charr will have no gods and be very opposed to religion in general in GW2 (at least according to that Movement of the worlds, or what's it called). Can't wait to play as one of them.

Melandru's hot. I always take time to /kneel when I pass her. Especially if there's favor. Which there is 24/7 now thanks to that double whatever it was weekend. Mainly because she's the goddess for my main character, a ranger.

Have to say Grenth, because he looks awesome. Also, just the idea of sending one more idiot who didn't live their life right to the Underworld makes me feel so happy inside . I also wish the bloody Wammo's who dont bother to heal and run in without waiting would just go to the Mists too. No offense to the Wammo's who are actually good.

I would most definitely say Lyssa or Melandru.

Lyssa for her role in chaos, illusion and beauty {and who doesn't want to mess with someones head?}.

Melandru for her role in nature {having rabid squirrels swarm on your enemies would be rather awesome, wouldn't it?}.

It may have something to do with my first two characters being a Mesmer and Ranger, repsectively.

I bend the knee at every shrine, but when the sh*t hits the fan it's Melandru and Grenth that I call out to. Melandru, that her natural forces would protect me one more time. Grenth, that he would receive this offering of souls to his domain - my enemies or my own, someone's soul is headed his way.

You gotta love the NF Dwayna mural...

I primarily stand for Melandru and Grenth. I posted earlier but I want to elaborate.

Grenth: Not only is he the God of death, but he also is in charge of punishment and justice, two things I stand for both as a GW character and in real life. Not to mention he gives us the gift of the UW, and in turn the gift of ECTOS!

Melandru: My main character is a Ranger, but also, Melandru brings life and beauty, and the power to create. Also I find her mural very attractive, not from what normally attracts a male, but in general I find her beautiful.

ditto. I am a follower Grenth. Through me his deeds be done. The souls of my enemies are his to judge, but their flesh is mine to command.

I'd have to say Balthazar.

Sadly, he is worshipped by many noobs who have the mindset of "lololol god of war, fighting, fire is c00l I iz pyro."

I'm just an aggressive person, and Balthazar seems to suit me best.

I'd have to tag along with Lyssa.
Illusions and messing with people's minds, mostly.

Grenth and Arachnia

Grenth: God of Death, my main is a Necromancer and I have, for the longest time, been fascinated with death and undeath. In the GW universe, Spirits (not just what Ritualists summon) fascinate me.

Also, he is the counter of illusions and I like to see past the obvious. Look at more then just the tip of the iceberg if you will.

Arachnia: Dead God, I like her(guess) because she's mysterious and very little is known. And she's a spider god. Spiders fascinate me too.

Wasn't this only about the 6? And azrael, spiders scare me to death... How can you like them?

And if we're fielding minor gods, I play the bear spirit card, the god of elitism and cheapness.

While the title does state 6 gods, there are many gods in the universe of Guild Wars.

The Six True Gods - Dwayna, Balthazar, Grenth, Lyssa, Melandru, Kormir
The Three Fallen "Gods" - Dhuum, Menzies, Abaddon
The Unknown "Gods" - Great Dwarf, Arachnia (called unknown because we don't know if they are real gods).

None of those are really minor gods.

And the Norn Spirits are not a god, but a spirit deity. Which includes, Bear, Wolf, Raven, Wurm, Owl, Mountain, Snow, and others (don't recall, all known are listed in my Spirits and Undead thread).

Then the Asura religion isn't a god but a belief system, but would still count in this thread.

Then there are the false gods - Titans, Unseen Ones, and Great Destroyer.

Finally there are "possible" gods - the Ancient Dragons (as their origins are unknown, there are theories about them being gods who were overthrown but survived, like Dhuum)

In short, this thread is really asking "What GW religion/deity is yours." Aka, anything said above except the Ancient Dragons. Also note that the thread was made prior to the real "discovery" of Arachnia, and before we knew of the Ancient Dragons.

Would have been Abaddon, but he's unemployed now. Kormir for me, seeing as how she's the goddess of Wisdom now and I'm all about knowing stuff. Plus I'm all for running in after the hard work has been done and ganking the god mode....yeah..>.>...

Either that or the Great Dwarf..beer and mutton communions, right on!

So I still worship the bear spirit.

But wow I'm surprised only like 2 pol have said Balthazar! What has happened to my wammo brethren? Have they equipped 7 resses and a mending now?
But seriously, are people not saying balth cuz they're afraid of what I said in my first post?
