Greetings my fellow adventurers! I am called Prism and I have journeyed far and wide across the continents of the world and now that I have seen so many things this gorgeous world has to offer, I'm wandering about seeking the opinion of anyone I encounter about who, during their own travels, deemed most worty of mention and admiration. Some of the replies truly stunned me as some even admired the qualities of people they have crossed swords with and even sent to the mists.

So I am here to ask you denizens of all Tyria and beyond who do YOU think is most worthy? Was it someone you fought a mission with? Was is someone you constantly fight alongside with? Maybe even someone you just bought your lockpicks from of just met during Halloween or Wintersday before they disappeared with the snow after the season passed. And lastly could it be you would like to mention some villain who, despite his or her worst intentions, you saw something in them that was carved in your memories?

Please tell me just one name as my stock of parchment is running a bit low.

To keep is simple, do deem most worthy:

Storyline NPC (like the valiant Prince Rurik of old?)
Heroes (like the might loudmouth Koss?)
Town NPCs (Merchant, Trader, Xunlai Agent?)
Villans (The deceiving Lich, corrupted Shiro, or maybe even someone less prominent?)
Special Event NPC (Avatars? Mad King Thorn?)

Due to my parchment running low, I can only take your first mention. I chose to do this so that no one's opinion is left unhead.

Also, to make this more exciting, please state what was it you saw in this individual.

I will keep you all informed of the information I receive, so come look back after a while!

Greetings,

Prism

EDIT: I apologize for not making a clear statement (It must have been that Canthan accent I got on my last trip). I am asking for your absolute favourite. While I am sure you whole-heartedly appreciate someone from each section I mentioned, I do not have enough parchment as the last shipment is way overdue) and I'm on my last roll.

Thank you and sorry for the lack of clarity,

Prism

Captain Rujiyo is one of the more popular Special Event NPC's. DE made a character with that name and logs in during the Dragon Festival and sits in the GH. Oh the PM's he gets sometimes. So awesome.

I'd vote for Mhenlo.

- He is in everywhere (Presearing, Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, EotN)
- He gets all the ladies (That "Welcome to Cantha" quest was like the most hilarious quest in the entire GW)

Storyline NPC: Mhenlo
He's an awesome henchmen, he's everywhere, he gets all the ladies, and he's just overall cool. Not only that, but his performance in factions' storyline was really cool. Also, he's a kurzick :3

Heroes: Livia
HOLY RED ENGINE F-ING GORED!!!
She's a necromancer hero AND she's hot!? She's the most awesome hero~


Town NPCs:
Xunlai Chest
Self explanatory. Oh, you can also talk to it.


Villains: Shiro
Wow, this guy is evil. With an excuse of being manipulated, he had raised an army of deformed people with proteus syndrome, and kills one of the main characters of Factions. Which other Guild Wars antagonist did anything like he did?
Not only that, but he actually looks and acts really baddass.


Special Event NPC:
Gwen. She's the official yandere of guild wars. Now if only she was shouting "Oyashiro-sama made me do it!!" as she was killing everyone. Life would be complete~

Storyline NPC - Probably Prince Rurik. It's the one name that really sticks out in my mind.

The op is a tad confusing, are we voting for each category or just #1 overall?

(Possible Spoilers)



Storyline: Undead Rurik; because he's a bit of a surprise the 1st playthrough

Hero: Vekk; because he's basically a mirror image of my own personality

Town NPC: Xunlai Agent; that gal is the hardest workin npc in the game

Villian & Special Event NPC: Kuunavang (for both): those that were there at the end of the factions fpe will surely remember Kuuna killing everyone in every district of Cavalon over and over with his mighty dragon awesomeness, and all the naked dance parties made that one-time event something to remember. When you get to fight him in the game he can be somewhat of a challenge; but not way overpowered as shiro and still fun to fight.

Me/E

Storyline NPC: Gadd
Damn, the way this dude treats Livia in Asuran arc is hilarious. He is absolutely kickass just like his son...

Heroes: Vekk and Olias
Vekks ugly teeth is enough to make destroyers rage with fury! He even uses my ER builds effectively.
Olias is the greatest MM the Guild Wars world will ever see, period.

Town NPCs: Don't give a shit about town NPCs.

Villans: Zoldark and Fendi
These two bosses are absolutely crazy in HM. The methods to kill them are absolutely unique, which is why they go down (in my book) as the most innovative bosses of all time.

Special Event NPC: Rift Warden
He successfully disappointed me 3 years in a row, and made me do 1000 runs total with no mini polar bear. I can't think of any other NPC who has had this much effect on me...

Sadly, Scoutmaster Arne has fallen from favour... but there was a time... when he handed out 150g, 2000XP and 400 Kurzick faction from his bottomless pockets every 90 seconds... he was the toast of Cantha.
