if you could be any profession in the Guild Wars universe, what would it be?
and when I say profession, I mean: what would you do for a living, or what would you simply do if you weren't busy saving the world?
personally I'd like to become a member of the Order of Whispers or on the off chance that doesn't work out, being an instructor in Shing Jea might be cool.
if you could be anything except an adventurer...

Kytan ambassador to the Asura, clearly the best choice.

I'd like to be balthazar, but i don't think being a god is really a feasible proffesion ;-) so instead, i'd be a guild lord and rack in all the cash from people filling their guild halls with npc's, muhahahahah!

The Little Gnome in the Zaishen chest that gives out firewaters and cremes and laughs at all the people giving him keys.

I would be Benton In the underworld so I can shield aatxes away from solo farmers :]
Konig Des Todes
I'd either be a Base Defender so I can wtfpwn any noobs who come near me (heck, i'd leave the base and just walk through the battleground wtfpwning everything) or I'd be Kormir and steal the godness in front of everyone and laugh in their face.
Gmr Leon
I'd be a librarian in the Halls of Chokhin, an Asuran golemancer or a human golemancer amongst the Asuran golemancers, an agent of the Order of Whispers, an archivist, a Mage Lord, or a, I can't recall the actual name, but an Asuran spellcrafter or human spellcrafter amongst the Asura.

Not until Menzies invades, good sir.

I initially read that as "not until the Mesmers invade".
Which is probably just as accurate...

Menzies the mad and Mesmers which are overpoweres and make me QQ.
yea that'll make the world very mad.
what if menzies had AoE VoR/empathy?

draxynnic
Well, VoR is AoE by nature, and Shadow Mesmers in the Realm of Torment do have it...
(Idly, mesmers overpowered? I'd be interested to see how you came by that conclusion - a lot of the player base still considers them useless unless they're carrying overpowered PvE skills.)

Probably something to do with the Asura. Science always interested me.
Konig Des Todes
Menzies the Mad, Lord of Destruction, Eater of Donuts.
That guy has too many titles compared to Abaddon and Dhuum.
Though, I think Shiro The Betrayer, The Corrupt, The Traiter has more titles than him.

Abaddon, Lord of Demons
Abaddon, Lord of Destruction
Abaddon the Corrupt
The Fallen God
(I don't know how many of those are true but they sound right)

It would actually be Abaddon, God of Secrets, The Fallen God. I don't think he's called "Lord" anywhere. He may be called the Corrupt though. But this is off topic.

Also, it would appear no one got the joke with the librarian choice.
Neo Atomisk
No, I got the joke. whats the NPC's name? Gemir Lenon or something?
But Abaddon does have plenty of informal names that I've heard thrown around, or atleast ones that sound right.

Honestly I would just like to live as a farmer in pre-searing Ascalon, that place is just beautiful, I have such fond memories of starting out there.
If post-searing Ascalon, I would be a merchant in Lion's Arch, which is another great city.

The joke, Leon, was too easy. I got it right away. Less than a second after reading the word.
A serious choice of mine would be either a librarian/researcher/historian etc. Or a "Mage Lord" if such actually exists as that's a player coined word.

I'd be a pre searing Ascalon Guard. Or something pre searing anyway
Neo Atomisk
why would u want to be in presearing? they were at war, the only thing that ended the Guild Wars was the Searing...
But retiring to a small cottage on a beach in Istan sounds good

Not quite. If you pay attention to the presearing quests, there are mentions of the Guild Wars having ended (although it was a recent thing), and of Adelburn being responsible for bringing Ascalon's guilds under control and bringing Ascalon's part in the Guild Wars to an end (as opposed to the previous king, who was too weak to control the guilds).
I think what actually happened is that the Guild Wars ended when the Charr started their invasion, which caused Adelburn to knock some proverbial heads together and at least get Ascalon out of the Guild Wars so they could concentrate on the bigger problem. During "presearing", the invasion is stalled at the Wall, but Ascalon has already lost its territory north of the wall, including Surmia, Drascir, Grendich and Nolani. After the Searing hit and the Charr swept through, the whole period of the invasion was referred to as the Searing, even though the actual Searing didn't happen until partway through.

Because pre searing rocks, and my guy would kick some serious ring piece and stop the searing from ever happening!
Then I'd have a paradise to live in.

Yea but you'd have to deal with Orr and kryta getting back into a war. :\
(and abbadon would probably find a way to send reinforcements to the charr)

Oh also I would remind the king that he does have elementalists at his disposal too and that he should start bloody using them. Then we'd take over the entire charr lands, excavate that dragon and send it to the realm of torment too, and ascalon would have a huge wall running all the way around it's kingdom so that it can live in peace without Kryta or Orr killing us dead.
How's that for a slice of fried gold?
Lishy
I'd be Balthazar. That way I can sit on my ass all day with worshipers and get weak humans to clean up my messes (Abbaddon and Menzies), then I can WTFROFL at the noobs trash-talking each other in pvp.

And you know how long that wall would take to make? You'd be dead before the length of the current wall was finished. o_O

Not only that, but you wouldn't know of the Dragons, and Ascalon did use elementalists, who failed horribly by getting caught before the Searing (The Flaming Scepter Mages).

Because yeah...

But seriously, I do have an explanation, though it's pretty off topic and I've already gone over it so I thought I'd spare you all the long read about time travel stones and saving Ascalon and such.

Id join the Canthan Military under the Ministry of Flame so i cna protect the streets of Kaineng , valleys, streams and Monastry of Shing Jea in the name of the Great Emperor. Because we all know cantha is the mightiest empire in guild wars and if
