~Setting~

The roleplay will take place primarily in Labrynna for a good long while at the start, but there certainly exists potential to move into Holodrum as time goes on. For the sake of us having enough content to work with, we will take artistic license and assume that the settlements that are featured in Oracle of Ages are only the most major ones, and that there are other towns scattered across the map. For one, you can't walk from one end of the country to the other in ten minutes; the in-game map can be used as a reference to where things are in relation to each other, but I'll work out the actual scale of things at my own discretion. To give you a sense of where this all fits into the geography of the great Zelda universe, let's say Labrynna and Holodrum are two neighboring continents separated by the Sea of Time, a lesser ocean. The journey from one continent to the other is about two weeks by boat so the trip isn't impossible to make but it's certainly not trivial. Both continents are far to the south of Hyrule proper, and to cross the Great Ocean to Hyrule takes several months and is a notoriously treacherous journey for all but the largest of ships and the most daring crews. The people of Labrynna and Holodrum (in story, we'll call this part of the world "The Land of Ages and Seasons", or just TLAS if you're lazy like me) know of Hyrule and vice versa, but aren't really concerned with them all that much and contact is scarce. Since Zelda and Impa traveled over very few have made the trip otherwise.

~Backstory~



~Main Premise~



~Important Locations and Extra Lore~
If you want to me to elaborate on something that appeared in game that I haven't covered below, please ask and I'll do my best to fill you in. If you want to create a new settlement or location in Labrynna (say, for your character's backstory or something), feel free to run it by me, there's no reason why we all can't do a little worldbuilding. I'll update this list as I get more time to fill out more locations.





~Characters and Application Format~

Our group will come together after a small crisis in Rauru and come to a natural decision on which side we support as things move forward and we become more caught up in such matters. The title may be misleading; this Nayru could very well be the true Oracle of Ages and her prophecy could be true. I'm leaving it open ended because it's more interesting that way. Keeping the group small will hopefully give everyone plenty of time to struggle with these issues along with the regular classic Zelda adventuring and dungeoneering that's standard with this sort of thing. Expect political intrigue, twists and turns, and a lot of appropriated lore from other Zelda games to spice things up. I'll link ZeldaWiki when I can if you're not super big on the backstory just to help out, but Zelda's pretty much down the middle as far as fantasy goes so don't let the underused setting throw you off.

As far as the types of characters that will be allowed, I don't want anyone from Hyrule proper to be part of the player cast; you should all be local. As such, races that are only associated with particular regions outside of the Land of Ages and Seasons won't be allowed; this includes Sheikah and Gerudo, so you needn't ask about them. Just for starters, you have humans (not Hylians, they're different!), Zoras, Gorons, Deku Scrubs, Tokay, and Subrosians. If you want to be a unique snowflake and go for an enemy race, I'm not necessarily opposed to it, but it should be humanoid enough to reasonably work in an adventuring party; for instance, it would be hard for me to justify why two dudes and a zora would choose to hang out with a rotating pillar of flame that shoots lightning and fireballs or a ravenous wolf or some crazy ass shit like that. If there's something you want to include that isn't on any of my lists, I might allow it. Just ask and I'll try to work with you the best I can.

I only want like four people, so that the group stays small and the posting rotation doesn't get out of hand. I will not accept based on a first come first served basis, and I will instead just choose the best four applications I receive within a certain period of time. Please see below for the information on the application process.


Here's a blank version of the CS with nice tags and formatting for your easy copy/paste needs.



~Rules~


Please let me know if you're interested in making a character, or if you have any questions. You can find our interest check here to see what we discussed there.

Oh yeah, I drew Sigurd unmasked. I think he looks a bit too young for 26, so I'm going to lower his age.

@Tip Tappers
Just gonna go ahead and say, if we can't get another person or two for this, I wouldn't mind playing two characters if we really needed them to get started.

I'm sure it won't come to that, but I appreciate the offer and I'll keep it in mind. The OOC's only been up for a day now anyway. I guess I should probably go ahead and make a character though, I'll work on that. First I want to get all the locations finished up though, working on that right now.

Aha, hopefully not. I just haven't seen much traffic in here asides from Me, Sho, and Savo (Dunno if he's gonna have the time or not)

Just thought I'd go ahead and make the offer, though, I do like being prepared.

Well I asked someone to take a look at this. They like Zelda, but they haven't played the Oracle games... Yet. I believe they're giving them a shot now.

I just finished adding the last of the locations to the first post. If there are any that I missed or some details you would like me to expand on, let me know and I'll gladly elaborate as needed.

Continuing work on my own character. Probably gonna play a Subrosian rogue-type who uses a boomerang, or maybe magic seeds and a slingshot. Haven't decided yet. Maybe both? Who knows.

I have added my mostly finished character sheet to the appropriate tab. I'll finish up the backstory tomorrow.

I gave him a defensive passive ring to start off with because he's not super stacked in the combat department. If you guys would rather him not have that, I will gladly remove it from the sheet.

Late response, but aye, it has been. Seems I'm encounter old pals all about again; Haru in Dangle Rompers...

Regardless, I need to read the sheet, because I was going to make a rogue-like illusion sniper of sorts (bows and stuff yo). Might either make him a Moblin or Human... Stalfos would probably be stretching it for me, but why not reference certain games that have a skeleton join your party?

But first, priority has to be on this Pokemon RP; need to have Yuu catch a Geodude... I may of hated them, but now they have sort of grown on me.

Anyways, gonna steal some inspiration!

Edit: Scratch the Ranger Archetype for now, that role has been truly taken xP

Might lean towards another idea I had with fisticuffs, combined with having said gauntlets be grappling hooks too... but I wonder if that's a bit too much... hum...

You could do something with the Digging Gloves if you want to pursue a martial arts character like that. That way he can use the clawed gauntlets for fighting and scaling walls as needed. Make sure to throw in a Grip Ring too for extra wall climbing goodness. You also get to like dig burrows and shit like that too bro, might be cool. You never know! I'm flexible, just let me know if that's not really what you're thinking and I'll see what I can do.

Not quite what I was thinking of, but I was thinking more of gauntlet comparable to... lets see, who was that boss from spirit tracks... Ah, right Byrne and his clawed hand! I was thinking of having him use something similar to that in a hook-shot sort of way, except have two gauntlets of sorts. Catch would be he wouldn't be able to effectively use rings, barring him from magic, and instead forcing him to rely on his own techniques, possibly copying a few others... hum... maybe his "magic"/ability could be to copy what someone does if it is in the range of possibilities?

Eh, I'll expand on and alter this tomorrow I guess; still need to finish up the rest of that post before I can even work on a character for this xD

Still, digging claws, in my opinion don't match his forte, at least for now since it deviated from the main concept in my head. I'll think about using it if I can't go with the original idea I had.

I don't know about that copying ability, it seems hard to regulate and not all that feasible. It would have to be magic based, as I don't think there's any way it could be a physical maneuver. Since your character is going to be melee-based he's not supposed to start out as a particularly skilled mage anyway. Maybe it's something he could work towards but I don't see how it's going to play out. That's just me though.

As for the clawed gauntlets, why not just use Clawshots? They already have a gauntlet shape and a claw tool, but also the grappling feature you want. I'll let you start with one.

Fist combat is already a thing in the games too, you can equip the Fist Ring and it turns your A and B into punches if they're empty. Of course in game it has no practical use other than to make the game more challenging. But this is because that's bare fists.

I'd save the Clawshot idea for maybe an upgrade though. For a start, maybe gauntlets that can equip seeds as ammunition?

Fire punch? Pop in an ember seed. Stunning punches? Scent seeds. Gale seeds for making that corkscrew extra spinny.

And pegasus seeds? ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORAORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA.

Later on you can equip it with little upgrades, or attachments, like a clawshot attachment, or a cannon attachment to launch seeds at enemies.
