How does the story of your character end in GW1? I joined a group in the GW2 Guru Forums, specifically for those people who started in GW1 and this was a question asked of the members of the community, so it had me thinking.
Tashiro Kurosawa -- nobody knows where he went, he just disappeared one day as was his normal routine... and never came back. There are those who say they've heard him, deep in the south of Kryta, but such sightings are few and far between, and with each 'encounter' it seems less and less likely. The truth is, however, he never died.
Late in life, Tashiro felt the call to go south. Drawn by something he could not understand, he ventured deep into the jungles of Kryta, down past Vlox's Falls, until he reached Arbor Bay. There, he found a pale tree, one he had passed a number of times during his journeys, and the way the sun glittered against it brought him a feeling of tranquillity. As the years passed, he patrolled the region, keeping the krait at bay, and ensuring the sanctity of the region. His companion remained by his side for the first few years, but after almost a decade, it was time for Strider to move on, and his stalker left him, wandering off into the wilderness, leaving him alone with his thoughts.
Tashiro did not mind. He felt the call of the wilderness, the feeling of peace and the harmony he felt with nature soothed him. He would often meditate, slipping into a half-state between wakefulness and slumber, before once again doing his patrols. It was only after a few decades had passed that he realised that during one of his meditations he had left his body behind. Instead, his luminescent skin and altered form brought him understanding -- he had transformed, becoming a part of nature. He was like the druids who rested within the deep jungles and forests of Kryta.
This realization brought with it a deep sense of satisfaction, and when the first sylvari awoke, he watched them, fascinated by these new beings who had entered the world. Silently, he thanked Melandru for allowing him the opportunity to see them born.
