Background
Takashi was my first GW character and is the one I play the most (as evidenced by his long list of titles below). He always has been and always will be a Fire Magic nuker. Unlike the majority of fire nukers, though, I never really liked using Meteor Shower or any other DoT AoE spells - I preferred instant AoE damage, like Flame Burst and Rodgort's Invocation. I tried out both Air Magic and Earth Magic, but at the time, neither one had enough skills that fit my style.

Because of this, the infamous "AoE nerf" didn't affect me much at all &mdash; in fact, it helped me in that I was now able to force enemies to scatter, pretty much at will &mdash; leaving me to wonder why everyone else was crying bloody murder that Arena.net had totally destroyed their characters.

In-Character: Takashi is married to Jink Bonestealer (my wife's main character), and together they are co-leaders of the Wind Riders. As a teenager, Takashi was traumatized by a horrible accident that killed his parents, after which he was taken in by a family friend who happened to be the headmaster of the school where Jink was studying necromancy. When they aren't battling the wannabe-superbeing-of-the-day, Jink takes care of the day-to-day business of the guild, while Takashi spends the majority of his time in the field collecting information and stuff.
