On the subject of the city guard...
Helix, whilst there's no rule against making NPCs (that's A-Okay, folks!), there're certain rules that need to be kept in mind.

Firstly, if you're going to make an NPC that's bestest buds with another NPC (a la Gilford and Sir Orca), or establish a relationship like that with anybody, you need to run it by the other person, first. [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/1250179]I think Baklava has already explained this, hasn't she?[/url] You can't establish a history between two people without the one party knowing about it, that's going to make for some very confusing conversations. 

Secondly, Captain of the Town Guard is a pretty important and influential position, perhaps so important that it might one day matter to the plot. If you're going to establish a high ranking NPC, it's [i]very[/i] important you come to either me or Baklava first so we can okay it. 
Whilst we encourage immersing yourselves with NPCs if you'd like, you can't just go and make your NPC Captain of the Guard, you know? That's a very presumptuous move. 

Also, just a lore-minder: Queen Laruto does not live in the Water Temple, nor did Princess Ruto or King Zora before her. The Water Temple is, well, a temple, not a palace. 
The Zora monarchs still live with their colony as they did in OoT. 

Loving everyone's characters so far, though! Man you guys post quick.
