Age of Darkness || A Legend of Zelda RP (Interest Check)

[Dark Cloud]

It is said that in a time of great turmoil that a hero would step forward to fight back the darkness with the sword of evils bane in hand and restore the light to all of Hylia's children across the land in order to bring peace to the nations...Yet the darkness fell upon the land but no hero appeared to fight it with holy blade in hand and all of Hylia's dear children fell to despair for no hero had come to save them and it was that despair in the hearts of others whom inspired some to fight for the Light in protection of their once peaceful lands yet others saw this as reason to take advantage of those weaker than themselves in favor of the Dark power that whispered sweet temptations of power and glory to those who would do it's bidding...

It has been one year since the Gerudo King Ganondorf usurped the throne of Hyrule's royal family. You and everyone else have hoped and prayed that the fabled hero would step forward yet to the disappointment of many their hopes were replaced with anger and despair. Despite losing hope some felt compeled to action in hopes of saving themselves and others from the tyranny of Ganondorf, but some decided to bend a knee to the usurper and serve him as a slave to the dark powers he wields...

The characters will be either aligned with the forces of Light representing those who would seek to drive out the darkness or join the Dark power that offers itself to those who would seek to accept this new world and prevent others from changing it.

Geography of Hyrule

[CitrusArms]

Oh baby, a Zelda RP? I remember getting a taste for that back when twilight princess came out. I always thought it was strange that the important hero fought alone. I suppose that wasn't necessarily always the case, but that's sure how it felt. I'm interested.

[Dark Cloud]

@CitrusArms I echo you on that, do you have any questions?

[CitrusArms]

Seems pretty plain to me. I suppose we have a Ganon fight at the end, yeh? As is the way of Zelda. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Now, what kind of character will I want to play...?

[Dark Cloud]

@CitrusArms Well actually the story takes place during the seven years that Link spent sealed in the Spirit Realm and the people of Hyrule have no hope of savior. So your characters are people who either feel the need to take a stand or submit to evil and serve the darkness.

[Dark Cloud]

So instead of being a character who would normally be a hero or a villain, the characters are people who were just average citizens who either want to take up arms to defend their way of life or fight for their own selfish needs.

[CitrusArms]

Ooooh~, I see. OoT setting, then? It'll be nice to have a general idea of what the map looks like. That's not always something that gets laid out so clearly.

[Dark Cloud]

@CitrusArms I will do that as it will be important for each race as well as maybe add some other races. It will be a sort of RPG-like game whereas I'll reward actions with benefits depending on weather it makes sense or not. Much like some games here on the guild where the GM rewards players abilities/skills for certain actions as well as penalty for injury or failure which is largely something I need to consider.

EDIT: Probably not though because it would complicate things and be too much of a headache to deal with.

[CitrusArms]

I can't really remember how magic do. Link usually gets granted magic from a great fairy, but I seem to remember other weezaarrds.

Ahem. Wizards.

[WolfredWolf]

Sniff sniff
I smell something that catches my interest...

[Dark Cloud]

@CitrusArms Well I'll allow it as long as it makes sense but doesn't make you suuuuper strong.

[Dark Cloud]

@WolfredWolf Nice thank you, do you want to know about anything specific?

[Dark Cloud]

For both your sake:
- Races -
Hylian, Kokiri, Gerudo, Zora, Goron, and Deku Scrub.

[CitrusArms]

I dunno if I even wanna play a wizard. I'll have to see what I come up with. Hmm.... Hmmm~...

[WolfredWolf]

Story/plot wise, nothing I'm immediately thinking of...

Character wise, I'm thinking of playing a character I had in a Zelda game somewhere else, but the game died pretty fast, so I didn't have the chance to really play him much....

In a nutshell: Majora's Mask. He makes masks and they grant him different forms.

He's an artist who travels around, putting a lot of time, dedication, and research into his masks. He can't just throw one together and slap it on. He immerses himself in the culture or the life of his subject (depending on if it's a race or animal) and gathers materials carefully. (In dark Majora's Mask fashion, they often involve real body parts- typically, he prefers to adorn skulls, but for animals, he may tan a hide.)

Would that be an acceptable ability? The way the ~magic~ of it works, they only work for him.

[Dark Cloud]

@WolfredWolf I want to say yes but the idea I'm going for is that you all come from humble beginnings and not born into a hero. Maybe it could work like that for your character, or maybe the character could just be someone who came across a cursed mask that transformed them?

[Dark Cloud]

@WolfredWolf I'd just say if you would use the character you would own a mask but no have the ability to make them right away. It would take time to perfect such a skill.

[CitrusArms]

Or he could have interaction with the happy mask salesman.

[Dark Cloud]

@CitrusArms Yes that too.

[Potemking]

- Races -

Deku Scrub.

@Dark Cloud

Most Zelda RP's I've seen never allow me to play these little guys. Probably my favorite Zelda race, right above Gorons.

Don't got much of a character in mind yet, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on this.
