Legend of Zelda: The Templar Crusades OoC

[Mogtaki]

I'd say they were created by magic, kind of in the same manner as a lot of the creatures.

I guess the Deku could talk in a broken accent or something, probably how Deku Link spoke...then again, he had Tatl...so she did all the talking...

Triforce is always around, so is the Master Sword; however, they're off limits to OCs, I'd guess.

[MULTIMEDIAMAN]

Name: Sophos Ailred

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Age: 62

Race: Terminian

Skills: Sophos is a brilliant magician, a near master of the forces of time and space. He can stop time across an entire section of Clock Town for a good five seconds if he so pleases, although he'd probably pass out. Generally he keeps to meditation and causing the occasional shooting star to fly across the sky and land in the Great Sea, which always looks absolutely gorgeous. Other than his magical abilities, Sophos spends his time studying the lore of the Goddesses, and he has his suspicions about the great Father Thallus. He is also quite experienced at alchemy, and is able to make powerful healing potions.

Magic Abilites: Time and Space

Weapons: Sophos keeps both of the weapons seen in his picture, a large gnarled staff for bashing people and a small dagger for the intense swordfight.

Inventory: Sophos carries on his person his satchel, which contains his alchemy reagents, along with a mortar and pestle for combining these ingredients, and several bottles and flasks for his creations.
EDIT: As of February 2013, Sophos has received a tome which contains all of his knowledge regarding alchemy, even that which he had forgotten. He also lost his staff in combat, reducing him to walking on his own.

Bio: Sophos grew up in Clock Town, watching the transformations to a magic-shunning society, and for that reason he keeps his abilities secret to others. He often uses his powers in very small doses, slowing time for a bit so he can make an appointment, or speeding it up so he doesn't have to wait as long for his stew to boil, for example. He sees little problems with the mechanical way of life, however, and enjoys the simplicity of cooking on a stove, or listening to a radio broadcasting the news.

Sophos's parents are dead, obviously. (He's 62, what did you expect Caboose?! :P) The elderly man is primarily self-dependent, and worked as a librarian for quite a while to earn his simple life. He kept his nose out of other people's way, and has no enemies. Other than the Templars, that is. He protested their beliefs, trying again and again to rally people not to believe him if they weren't going to believe in the Goddesses who had for so long protected the land. In his eyes, he'd seen non-belief better than outright blasphemy and distaste.

Now, he is in Hyrule, taking a look at what has been happening, seeing it slowly fall apart. Sophos simply hopes to find some way to at least prove to one person that there is simply nothing proving that Father Thallus had anything to do with Hyrule's recovery, and that these things simply fluctuate, as they always have.

Would it be okay if I went the... *cough* evil way in terms of character motivations and the likes?

[SamTheGingerNinja]

Name: Delkia.

Gender: Male.

Apperance:
Like most Business Scrubs, Delkia's appearance consists of an almost spherical body, with long arms that thicken out towards the hands, and lanky legs. He is about the same size as your typical male Hylian, though some of that height is made up of his head plant. Like almost all of the major Deku races, he has a relatively long and wide snout rather than a mouth or nose, and like most Business Scrubs, has large, somewhat pincer or mitten like hands, sporting opposable thumbs but lacking four individual fingers. His body is made out of "Deku wood", which almost all of the greater Deku species are made of, a wood that is tough but extremely flexible, allowing movement.
Delkia is one of the lucky few Hyrulean Deku's who has a head flower alongside the usual, boring cluster of leaves. At the top of the ring of leaves on his head, large, blue petals curve upwards, which split up slightly at the end into many smaller orange and white fronds: the whole flower looks somewhat like a bomb flower when viewed.

Age: It's hard to tell exactly how old a Deku is, because, as very plant-liek beings, their growth is very different. However, in human years, Delkia is probably around 17, though this is rather well into adulthood for a Deku.

Race: Deku, Business Scrub.

Skills:
More of a lack of skill than a skill in itself, it is important to note that Delkia has a very weak grasp on standard Hylian. He has spent most of his life in the Lost Woods, speaking mainly with other Dekus and the occasional Kokiri or Skullkid in the language of the forests, and as he has the usual Deku snout as opposed to a mouth, lips and tongue, certain pronounciations can be difficuilt for him.
As a Business Scrub, Delkia has a head for business. Sort of. He enjoys bartering, buying and selling, but has a terrible habit of charging stupidly high amounts for rather common items of little worth.
Having lived in the Lost Woods and surrounding woodland areas for the majority of his life, Delkia is a skilled forest dweller: he recognises which plants are which, he can recognise tracks and scents, he can find food and water. If anyone was to enter uncharted woodland, then Delkia might not be a good guide, but definetely an extreme help.
Delkia isn't that good at true fighting: he has very little experience with melee or ranged weapons, and if he ever tried to take part in... say, a sword fight, he would quickly be defeated. However, he can hold out quite well in a fight be resorting to the classic Deku strategy of hiding in the ground and spitting at whatever comes to close.

Magic Racial Abilites:
Delkia has no magical ability to speak of, Great Deku Trees typically being the only Deku species with any sort of magic. He does, however, have several racial abilities unique to Deku's.

Deku Nuts
Delkia is able to grow large, tough Deku nuts inside his body, which can be propelled at high speeds and with lots of force out of his snout. Getting hit by a Deku nut is an experience almost identical to getting hit by a heavy rock, albeit Deku nuts spin in flight, and shatter upon impact, which can worsen wounds sustained from them.

Burrowing
Delkia is able to quickly burrow himself into the ground, so that only his head flower and leaves are showing. He accomplishes this through a rapid spinning movement, inwhich he uses his wide hands and feet like shovels, quickly vanishing into the ground in a swirl of dirt and dust. When underground like this, he is able to emerge slightly, so that is torso is showing aswell as his head flower and leaves. Delkia prefers to sleep or rest in this semi-underground state, as it lets him use his limbs almost like roots, taking in some nutrients and moisture from the earth.

Growths
Delkia is a Deku, and Dekus are pretty much plants, and plants grow. Aswell as the previously mentioned deku nuts that grow within his body, Delkia's outside sometimes sprouts a long stick or bump of wood. Delkia is usually quick to snap these off, to keep him from turning into an ugly deformed lump. He usually keeps these bits of wood that he snaps off, as Deku wood is well known for it's strength and how well it burns, so some are willing to buy it.


Weapons: The previously mentioned Deku nuts. Apart from these, Delkia's only other weapon is a small, blunt dagger, which he found in the woods one day.

Inventory:
A leather backpack, inwhich Delkia stores his dagger, bits of Deku wood, a pouch of rupees, and several jars, a few of which contain water or a thick, nutrient rich paste made up of plant mulch and loamy soil, incase of an emergency when Delkia is unable to find either of the two substances that plants need to thrive.

Bio:
Delkia originates from the Lost Woods and a tribe of Dekus who had hardly changed from the old ways, staying in the forest in secluded clearings and remaining secretive, rather than moving into villages with Kokiri and Skullkids like so many other groups of Dekus had.
He never knew his parent/s/who planted him, but that is hardly tragic or uncommon amongst Dekus. Someone put a seed in the earth, now it's you, simple as. Delkia first gained sentience in a sapling/sprout state, completely dependant on the soil from which he grew and rain water. When, from appearance, it became clear that Delkia would become a Business Scrub, other Dekus passing him by started giving him advice regarding life, the forest, and his overall role in society: as a Business Scrub, his job was to interact with outsiders and establish some sort of relation between them and the Dekus, and to guard specific spots (whereas the ordinary Deku Scrubs guarded the area in general, and the powerful Mad Scrubs guarded specific but important areas).

When Delkia had finally grown limbs sturdy enough to support himself, he managed to uproot himself from the area where he'd spent a good chunk of his life, and set off into the forest, exploring the areas that were considered the territory of the group of Lost Woods Dekus he was part of. Using the knowledge that had been given to him by other Dekus when he was still a sprout, Delkia looked after himself in the forest, learning more and more about the world around him and business. When his head flower bloomed, Delkia's life was made slightly easier: the beautiful flower made customers and outsiders more relaxed when Delkia talked businses with them, and the flower demanded some respect from his fellow Dekus (not loads of respect, but the occasional squeal of approval or invite to a nicely decorated grotto was better than nothing).

During this period of his life, Delkia learnt a few things about the other people in the lands: nothing extremely indepth, but he became aware of the not to distant villages of Kokiri, Skullkids and other Dekus. He was given snippets of information regarding various Goblin cultures from passing Bulblins and Bokoblins. And, he became aware of the Hylians themselves and their towns and cities: again, nothing indepth, but Delkia was relatively awed by descriptions of great stone buildings and temples and all sorts (by the sounds of things, there weren't enough trees and soft soil, but it still sounded nice). Eventually, there were only so many descriptions of the various outside world and cultures that Delkia could here, before he began to edge away from his home, towards the edge of the Lost Woods and the outside world. Preparing himself for the journeys ahead, Delkia finally set out into the world, to seek fame and fortune as... well, something.

However, once he found himself in Hyrule, there were a few things that gave Delkia a relatively nasty shock. For one thing, a large group seemed to be getting more and more powerful in Hyrule, and replacing the traditional religion of the Golden Women that Delkia had heard so much about with a new religion. For another, said group seemed extremely hostile towards any religion other than their own: including Kokiri and Deku worship of certain Great Deku Trees. And, lastly, Delkia had underestimated how hard it would be to succesfully conduct business in a country where the majority of races could not understand the language of the various forest creatures, and where his own knowledge of the common language pretty much consisted of assorted words along the lines of "sticks" and "wood".

And so, Delkia blunders around Hyrule, selling what he can, including his knowledge of the forest to those who know to ask a Deku, and trying not to let it slip to the mysterious "Templars" that he honestly had no idea who they were worshipping, and why it seemed so appealing to many.

[Bored]

yo Mediaman is it ok if my character kind of knew yours. Not really personally or anything but knew of him? Wanted to get the ok before we starts so you didn't feel as if I was springing it on you.

[MULTIMEDIAMAN]

Surely Bored. It could lead to interesting conversation and such.

[gunner1116]

Name: Luthar Grimith

Gender: Male

Appearance: 5'8" with short black hair and blue eyes with streaks of green. He wears a simple brown homespun tunic and greyish blue pants. He has on brown boots and a rough brown traveling cloak with the hood usually pulled down low covering most of his face.

Age: 20

Race: Hylian

Skills: Luthar is a scholar. He always prefers to use logic and patience to solve his problems rather than steel. He has crossed blades with a foe more than once and can hold his own in a swordfight. Nevertheless, he isn't as skilled as most competant fighters. He has an almost photographic memory that he gained through rigorous schooling. He is a very quick thinker, but always likes to think about his decisions longer than most people making him a rather poor leader. His patience has allowed him to solve problems that would stump most others, but he has trouble making decisions when they need to be made quick.

Magic Abilities: Earth: Luthar has always been drawn to nature and the wonder that surrounds it. He isn't highly skilled in Earth magic, but he can feel the connection between himself and the world that surrounds him. If he is having trouble solving a problem he will often find a quiet place to sit alone with nature and think.

Weapons: Luthar carries two weapons: a simple longsword that his father gave to him after teaching him that logic couldn't solve everything and a short dagger because it is always necessary to have a backup.

Inventory: Luther carries a small travelling pouch attached to his belt. Inside are rations and basic supplies such as flint and a map.

Bio: Luthar Grimith was brought up by a poor family in Hyrule. They saved up money for Luthar to get an education. He studied rigorously and his parents encouraged him to do his best. Having studied for all of the teenage years of his life he decided that it was time for a change. Currently he is preparing to leave Hyrule.

[Gado]

Alright. At the rate people are jumping onto this, it'll be full before I've made my character! So..

- Reserved while I fully develop my character -

[Feldrain]

Howdy. I am loving this whole "Shadow mutations" idea you got here. Mind if make a rather antagonistic character. By that, I mean a guy who is working against the goals of Link, Zelda, etc.
