This ain't no illusion...!
I'm Amelia Bellefleur, and I'm a human Commander of the Vigil order.
I was born into nobility -- power, wealth and prestige were handed to me on a silver platter... It's not that I'm not grateful, but it's just not the life for me. I choose honor and glory! I choose to use my position to help those in need, and defend those who can't defend themselves! Despite my fortune, I still have had to work hard to get to where I'm at today -- and I'm still climbing! The age of the dragons may have begun, their armies may encroach on our lands, and hope may seem all but lost.... but I will rise against them, and shatter their delusions of victory!
...that said, there's no reason I can't still look fabulous while doing it, no...?!
As Commander of the Vigil I have to make sure I look the part! So I wanted to somehow look elegant and noble for my heritage, without compromising on appearance as a Commander of a heavily armoured force, all the while trying not to forget the "shattering mesmer" theme. I was inspired by Valkyrie / Amazonian warrior dress types and this was the end result. Hope you like it!
Just a couple of screens to show "weapons free"...
Here's the generic character login screens. Shows of the dyes better, and has a "back" and "side" view. (NOTE: I would have edited some of these into one screen, but I've never been good at that!)
Okay so the details!!!
Armour:
- Helm - Zephyrite (Wind);
- Shoulders - Feathered;
- Chest - Phoenix;
- Glove - Phoenix;
- Leggings - Phoenix;
- Shoes - Phoenix
- Dyes: Mix of Ancient Gold, and Mischief.
Okay I hope you enjoyed reading this, as much as I have entering this contest! To all you other contestants -- may the odds be ever in your favour! Goooodbye!

Wonderful character and story :) also thank you for being so kind to everybody here :D
-
Thank you so much! Sorry to read that you just didn't make the winning title of Most Unexpected but, hey! Second place isn't all that bad, right?! Congratulations on getting that far!
-
I love the feathers!!! Beautiful dye work aswell as the armor set!! <3
-
Thank you so much! Very kind! ^_^
-
Awesome job! The set goes really well with the Zephyrite helm.
-
Thank you!!! Yeah I needed to find a replacement for the one-eyed patch that originally came with the Phoenix Armour, and I'd been wearing the typical masquerade mesmer masks most of my toon's life so I wanted to change it up a bit ^_^ Glad you like the mashup.
-
Great looking set. Well done!
-
^_^ Thanks very much! Glad you like it!
-
i love your colour combination! It really works with your outfit :)
-
Thank you! You have no idea how long I spent trying to get the right dye to suit what look I was going for! Ha But I like how it turned out.
-
I really love your dye colour choices and of course the armour choice! ;)
-
Thank you!!! Hah! Hmmm...what could possibly be the reason to why you like the armour choice.... :P!?
-
Very nice color combination! The helmet and shoulders give the armor a unique touch. I usually don't like the wings but they fit quite well to the rest of your look!
-
Heh ^_^ Thanks for commenting on my entry! And thank you for your compliments! I thought the shattered wings worked well with the mesmer profession - no other character of mine would suit it, and I was dying to get rid of the zero appearance back brace on her anyway lol
-
Nice! I love Pheonix armor <3 The helmet is awesome and nice story!
-
Thank you so much ^_^!
-
She really is une belle Fleur :)
-
Thank you!
-
Awesome! You look like you are about to fly! Nice armor!
-
Ha if only! That would certainly change the battlefield! Thanks!
-
She is stunning!!
-
Thanks! Glad you think so! ^_^
-
my god, I love your choice of dye, it matches so well together with this set up!
-
Thanks so much! ^_^ Like I replied to someone else, it was like the *only* dye that I thought fitted my character well ha! Glad you love it!
-
best air styles of wind, feathered and phoenix. so appropriate that you also have the wings!
-
Thank you I'm glad you noticed the connection ahaha! Makes all the effort into the outfit worthwhile ^_^
-
stunning
-
Why thank you!
-
look really nice! love the matching gear and color
-
Thanks!
-
Awesome, I love the location you choose for the first pic. :)
-
Thank you! I was so pleased I came across it! I thought it perfectly summarised my character's nobility and the life she was born into of decadence and wealth.
-
I know your awesome ain't no illusion! Mischief looks especially nice next to the gold.
-
Awh thank you! And honestly out of all the dyes I had unlocked, it was pretty much the *only* dye that worked next to the gold haha I'm just glad it turned out the way it did.
-
Awesome!! I love that helmet with those wings!
-
Thank you ^_^ I do too! Heh
-
<3 Beautiful!
