imnotyourmother, thats not much of a spoiler, as everyone who has heard of GW2 should know we can play as a Charr, Slyvari, Norn, Asura, or Human. GW2 should tell us more about the Charr from their perspective, just as EN gave more then Prophecies did.

They're similar to orcs because they have no honor and will use dirty tricks whenever it suits them, but they're like Klingons in that they love fighting and war. I know, the Klingon resemblance is hard to see because Klingons are all about honor, but if you can picture a Klingon that has no sense of honor, then I think that would be the Charr.

Really, I see the Charr as the anti-human. They're almost completely opposite of us. As such, I don't think anyone will ever try to play them to be the hero, but rather to be the anti-hero. Anyone familiar with comics should definitely know what I mean. Venom (from Spider-man) was portrayed as an anti-hero for a long time.

Basically, that sums up the role that I think the Charr players will fulfill in GW2 -- the anti-hero. They're not villains anymore, but they're not quite heroes yet either, they're anti-heroes. They do good when it suits them.

Picture a typical party that has one character of every race, and you'll likely see the human as the leader, the Asuran as the brainiac, the Norn as the warrior, the Sylvari as the voice of reason, and the Charr as the obnoxious jerk who no one wants around but no one can do without due to the skillset he brings to the table.

Here's another way to think of it. The Asurans balance out the Norn. The Sylvari balance out the Charr. And the humans are balanced already because we always manage to span the personality gamut.
Or, to think of it in terms that amuse me more:

Humans - Malcolm Reynolds
Asura - Wash
Norn - Zoe
Sylvari - Kaylee
Charr - Jayne

Reference to.... what? Maybe if others knew, we'd find it more amusing too.
