@Nevis So if I go thr Sheikah route, it's safe to say I'll be armed to the teeth, and be a master of stealth, espionage and assasination?

Yep. The Sheikah are a very ninja-like clan here, mostly producing assassins, bodyguards, lorekeepers, illusionists and mages. They also have an affinity for certain types of magic-they, along with the Twili (who were originally a divisive branch of the Sheikah before their banishment in this setting's lore) , have an intrinsic link to the element of Shadow.

@Nevis Nice. So as a Sheikah what exactly would I get/know/be capable of in your lore?

Because right now I have master of stealth, assassinations, throwing needles, daggers, wires (see SSBM), Deku Nuts, hand to hand combat... any powers/spells/abilities?

Only if they were trained as such. Magic is much more common, although casters are still uncommon.

Also, I added some races information to the original post.

Question - After reading the race description of Gorons, is it assumed that they are slow witted or less intelligent than some of the other races? It's not really in any official lore and because their industrialization is beyond the other races some say they may even be more inteligent. Just wondering what the concensus is here though.

Gorons are not stupid, no, although there is a social stigma of them being not as refined or 'intellectual' as some of the other races. It has more to do with their manner, specialized minds and such. Stereotypes are held really strongly by most people in this setting, though.

@Nevis Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I'm interested in joining this roleplay. I was thinking of making a Kokiri character that can use magic. Would that be okay?

Oh, missed this somehow. I'll take a look at this when I'm back from work.

My plan is to create a Rito scout-esque character. What is your ruling for their wings? Should it be traditional as in the wings are part of the Rito's arms? or are you okay with the wings being attached to their backs like a separate pair of appendages?

Part of the arms.

And I have, Dawnscroll, and will consider it if the number seems to become an issue.

So, I introduced the idea of magically powered airships- great, slow, lumbering things using wind magic to either move propellers or even just massive balloons of air, similar to these concepts:
If thats a hard no, then I can go ahead and scratch them out with no big fuss.

While airships are doable... not to anywhere near of the caliber depicted in those images. The traverse between the Light and Twilight Realms is often done partly via an airship now, for example; however, they are more like blimps or hot air balloons and have extremely limited range, stability and use as even with the advancements in magic, they barely work. As an example, Hyrule castle city has less than ten and the main decks are never more than about ten by twenty feet save the trans-realm one.

Also, please each case of Hylian to Hyrulian; this spelling alteration is very deliberate and a plot point later on. Hylian and Hyrulian are not interchangeable here.

Otherwise... amazing. Welcome back~<3

I just wanted to let you know that I'm still interested. But I do have a question as well. Essentially, what I want to know is whether or not song magic is a thing in this world, particularly along the lines of Syria's song or Epona's song. I just thought that it would fit the kokiri rather well, but didn't want to be presumptuous.

Sound-based magic is the second most common type of magic (following only after enchanted objects) in this setting. While they are rarely on the same caliber as in the games (unless you know the exact form and are a master musician) , that is very much plausible.

It is really good. The gang name is really bland and moblins are generally 6-7 feet tall-however, it is otherwise well-done.

Sic 'em, boy!

That or note that he is a giant among them; eight feet puts him at darknut size. And good point.
