For shame!!!

If any of y'all know any peeps who might like Zelda, don't hesitate to throw a link their way. We're hoping to get a few more applicants before we make any major decisions.

[Bad Wolf]

I can try, but the people I can think of either have very little free time and/or their writing skills aren't high casual level.

[PURRfect93]

cs sheet (in progress)

Name: Guru

Race: Goron

Age: 21

Gender: male


Also keeps a bandolier of fist-sized bombs, and his loincloth is a free flowing black version. He also carries a small satchel around with ingredients and casings to make more bombs.

Clothing/Armor: As most Gorons are known to, Guru wears a loincloth. However this is were similarities end. Guru has plates of strong [insert appropriate metal type] held on with reinforced leather straps, serving as his (Heavy)armor. His gantlets and boots are crafted so that they have large plate like surfaces to maximize contact when fighting.

Weapons: Guru carries five (5) fist-sized bombs on a bandolier, otherwise he uses his fists and any object that isn't bolted down, including other enemies to an extent. also keeps a spare bomb or two in his satchel/

Skills: <Skill (Tier)> – <Justification for skill.>
<Unarmed (expert)> - Guru was, and still is, always angry due to his short temper. Although an oddity for his race, He uses this to his advantage as a fighter, and is well known amongst the Goron boxing and sumo league. He is also well known among the lesser know "basher league", a group of armored Goron that practice their skills with "bull challenges". these are tests of not only strength, but durability. [see *challenge* at bottom for more information.]
<Block (major)> - *see unarmed*
<Heavy armor (major)> - *see unarmed*
<Projectiles (major)> - when Guru isn't getting into fights, he's out in the mountains mining for ores to supply Termina's smiths. While doing this he tends to lift boulders and toss them into various piles, giving him a good deal of accuracy with how often he tosses said stone.
<Alchemy (major)> - like most Gorons, Guru is adept at the making of explosives, and given some time can even make a Powder Keg. Though it is rare and far between needing to be made.
<smithing (minor)> - Guru occasionally uses spare ore to make bomb casings, and sometimes patch his armor bands.

Inventory:
5 hand-bombs
2 bombs
5 hand-bomb casings
4 half-casings for regular bombs
8 bottles of bomb-powder (1 bottle = 1 hand-bomb or half a bomb)

Backstory: Guru was an unusual goron from the start. He angered easily and was quick to do so, and liked talking to outsiders more then most. Growing up in the mountains Guru learned everything that a normal goron would: the best ways to roll, the making of bombs, how to tend to bomb flowers, and eventually how to make the fabled powder keg. Eventually Guru took up work by going into the deep mountains to mine for ores and supplies them to Zubora in exchange for armor improvements or rupees if needed. Although tension between Zubora and the gorons is stronger then usual lately, Guru still goes and chats with him from time to time to keep up with current events. In his free time, which there was a lot of, Guru would practice unarmed combat in his armor because he knew someday he would need the skills. Gurus idol, Darmani, was proof enough of that. They also come in handy during the wrestling tournaments that are held every year in clock town, which Guru himself hosts. Although normally outside of clocktown when hosting the event, Guru has had to host further then usual due to the large amount of carnival goers this year. Much news has flown across Termina, and many people are intrigued.

explanation of the basher league:
Guru started the "basher league" with a few of his friends who also practiced in heavy armor. Originally a small club of friends that started when he was about 17, it has grown into a sizable underground wrestling club. They have monthly "bull challenges", where goron compete to show their durability and skill with a modified version of sumo wrestling. a pair of competitors would roll towards each other and break into a sprint at the last moment, trying to knock the other over by slamming into them. it has become a popular sport for the few that know of it,

Wallet: 20 Rupees (a hidden pocket within his satchel's lining)

I've been a bad, bad Captain.

PURR, can you expand on the "literally bolted into his body" part...?

[PURRfect93]

err, well when i was looking for a decent image for what i wanted i kinda came across one from twilight princess ^//^"
but the plates of metal are kind of fused to his body via the large bolts that are part of the metal in the image. however i can change this if necessary to reduce confusion :O

[Baklava]

I understand that they're fused to his body, I'm just not understanding the "why" portion of it. Like... why not just wear the armor? Bolting armor into your skin/flesh isn't exactly a common practice, you know? So is there some sort of reason behind it?

What we're trying to say is that bolting your armour to your body would, for lack of a better phrase, hurt like a bitch.
It'd also make you really un-dexterous and permanently weigh you down.
In a nutshell it'd just be really inconvenient: We understand what you're describing, we just can't put our fingers on why anybody would do that to themselves.

[Captain Jenno]

Wait, are you talking about this guy?

Yes, that picture is linked in the CS, even though for some reason the hotlink does not work.
