[OOC] Hyrule's Civil War (Zelda RP)

[Product]

@vietmyke
Phanna is approved! I hadn't planned for Kokiri to be in the story, but the more I think about it the more I like it. I do have a condition. I'm going to have it be a rule that Kokiri age when they're outside of the Kokiri Forest. It can be at a slower rate than a typical Hylian/Human, and Phanna (And by extension any future Kokiri) don't know this. My rational is that in Ocarina of Time they were told they'd die if they left the forest.

I may be getting ahead of myself but Phanna could also be a good agent once Princess Zelda is safely at the Sanctuary/Orphanage. If you would be interested in that.

This has an Ocarina of Time vibe. Room for one more?

@AtomicNut

Always room for one more! And good eye. I was going for an OOT theme mixed in with a little ALttP, TP and BotW. Maybe some Wind Waker too? Screw it, I'm just putting every Zelda game in a giant pot and stirring!

Can I make two characters?!

@Noxxis

I'd like to avoid multiple characters for now. There was more people interested than I anticipated, and I'm starting to think I'll have to split the team up into two or three groups to keep everyone engaged. I also have a lot of history with people making multiple characters, getting wrapped up in the RP and just disappearing for weeks with no warning or quitting (I'm not calling anyone out here! You're all new people to me.) After the RP starts and we get a solid footing we can come back to the subject.

[Product]

Another note, I'm not trying to make this fit into any Zelda timeline, so we'll have plenty of freedom. I'll be reusing a lot of characters from canon, so I'm cool with how vietmyke incorporated Malon/Talon into their backstory. Everyone is free to use canon characters in the story as they see fit, and I'll chime in if they're using a character I'd like to use for a later plot.

Trash Wizard

Durahans Bilko

Personal Dossier

---

Name

Durahans Bilko. More commonly "Bilko", "Trash Wizard", and "screams like a little girl"

Species

Hylian

Gender

Boi

Appearance

Bilko likes to surround himself in an aura of mysticism. To say he fails horribly, is to put it kindly. His "magnificent Wizard" clothes are just cheap recolored commoner's garbs, one size too big and full of hastily scribbled symbols who are only half successful in showing the arcane nature of his owner. He is a scrawny boy, for all intents and purposes, and quite fidgetty at that. His star amulet is practically the only thing that evokes the right solemn aura a wizard should have, but it is underneath his clothes and is rarely seen. ​

Personality

Bilko is a extremely pessimistic individual, and often whines about his condition and ailments. He also zigzags between nervous wreck and apathetic shell an inordinate amount of times, depending whether he feels threatened or not. A scrounging rat, he lacks any shame or compunction to do what is needed to do to survive. This usually involves eating garbage.

​
Background

​​ Bilko was born far from the bustling Castle Town, in a rather calm town called Kakariko. With a big creepy-ass cemetery and a past darker than tar. Oh, and his father was the groundskeeper. So instead of having his father telling little Bilko spooky stories by night, he had him watch from the window as he put back some feisty corpses and Poes where they did belong with his trusty shovel and sometimes an extra oomph like blessed items or so. Even Bilko understood how insane was that kind of stunt and when he was old enough, set to travel world with the first merchant he met.

The Ghost Merchant was fairly amused to have an underling for a time, and even more amused when he discovered that the nervous wreck of his apprentice had actually a rare talent for a villager. Magic potential. So he sent Durahans Bilko to capture all kinds of otherworldly monstrosities, then chuck them into bottles for sale. Bilko was positively flabbergasted the first time he saw someone drinking a freakin' Poe out of all things like if it was cheap ale. Despite the constant danger and maddening work conditions, Bilko did manage to get a good magical training out of the ordeal.

And then he completely ruined it by practicing a powerful spell near the ghost bottle storage. The resulting shockwave depleted months of ghost catching, and the irate Ghost Merchant cast Bilko away in Castle Town. Now without a proper job, and people rarely believing he was a wizard, he tries to scrounge up a living by searching around trash...

Talents

Trash Wizard: The only and one. While he looks like your average street rat, how many street rats can conjure fiery death upon enemies, blow up walls, banish spirits and create magical barriers?But he can never get rid of the smell fully. Also, power level might vary when compared to actual mighty wizards.

Cowardly Lion: Bilko might be a nervous wreck, and he appears to crumple even under very minor teeths. However, all bets are off when large threats are inbound. Even cornered rats show mighty ferocity, and Bilko is like them. The mightiest of foes might be attacked relentlessly and ruthlessly.

This remembers me... : Under the wing of his wandering master, Bilko has seen and witnessed much of Hyrule's lights and shadows. He even boasts an honorary Gerudo card. (It involved an incident with a crate full of cuckoos, spiced meat food, misfiring Ice arrows and a Gossip stone, as far a he tells).

Weaknesses

I come here to rain on your parade: Bilko has the uncanny ability to sink the mood of any given situation to the deepest levels of the Water Temple by just opening his mouth. This has made him quite a bit of a millstone to keep around in conversations. His hobbies are rather creepy, as some sort of ungodly combination.

Distracted by cute or creepy things:No need to explain this one, amirite?

Phobia to cuckoos: Fear the fowl army.

Attributes:

Attack:0

Magical Attack:4

Speed:2

Defense:1

Intelligence:4

I hadn't planned for Kokiri to be in the story, but the more I think about it the more I like it. I do have a condition. I'm going to have it be a rule that Kokiri age when they're outside of the Kokiri Forest. It can be at a slower rate than a typical Hylian/Human, and Phanna (And by extension any future Kokiri) don't know this. My rationale* is that in Ocarina of Time they were told they'd die if they left the forest.

@Product

Yeah, that’s how me and my friends wrote our Legend of Zelda roleplay a few years ago as well. Mido was for the lack of better words, not thrilled with the prospect once he learned about it. Oh and the Deku Tree lying to him, even though he wasn’t lying completely but rather he was just being vague. Which would you pick, a life where you eventually die outside of the forest or a life in the forest with eternal youth? Haha.

My favorite line from that character in that RP was whenever the group hit a fork in the road/forest/mountains he would scream at the top of his lungs: "RIGHT IS ALWAYS RIGHT." It was a fun time. Zelda RPs take me back.

Uh, should i find a new picture then?

@AtomicNut

No? Why would you think that?

@Product

Oh. I always thought it was a tall tale told by Mido/deku tree like a PSA, because link was actually a hylian, not a kokiri apparently. That or in the literal sense that outside the sanctuary they aren't protected by the deku tree, thus they can be killed. But hey, you're the captain.

And agent how so?

@Raddum
After adding Dekkunda's attributes to the chart I noticed he has 12 points total. Which stat would you like to trim from?

@Product

My mistake.

I'll take the point off his defense, since he's meant to be fragile anyways. Apologies!

EDIT: Did the thing.

[AtomicNut]

Trash Wizard now 50% more garbage with rubbish stats.

[Todd Howard]

@AtomicNut

I see Bilko digging through Dekkunda's leaves while he's rooted thinking he's a bush with potential food and Dekkunda just pops out of the ground, scaring the crap out of both of them.

[Product]

@AtomicNut
Bilko looks like a fine addition to the team! I will say that the Kakariko Village won't be the same as it was in OOT. I'll be using it's ALttP incarnation, which was more of a quiet village. Kakariko Village as it was presented in OOT will be the Sheikah Hidden Village, but it's residency will be limited to Sheikah. The Sanctuary/Orphanage that we'll be stopping at early in the narrative is on the outskirts of Kakariko and will have a graveyard, so his backstory can stay mostly the same.

With all the said, Bilko is approved after you decide on on his attributes. Well gee you guys work fast!

@vietmyke

An undercover protector. I'll confess that I haven't thought how it would work all the way through. If you'd like, we can bounce some PM's around.

@Raddum
No harm done and Thank you! Re-reapproved lol

[mickilennial]

I'm not sure what Sibela will think of this motley crew, tbh. Outside of Bilko, who she'll she a lot of her brothers (and perhaps herself) in due to the street rat thing. Maybe sister complex will take over.

Every party needs a pooper that's why we invited you~
