[OOC] The Legend of Zelda: Decedents of the Hero (OPEN)

Well, that's two GM approvals. Shall I move him over to the character sheet tab?

Yes

[Cyrania]

Well, looks like one or two of my RPs are dying off. Mind if I join now?

@Cyrania

Not at all.

[Sigil]

If all of these characters wind up being active, there are enough for two separate RPs to run simultaneously. Maybe three. At least we've got our bases covered if we have to split up into teams and tackle different objectives at the same time.

So, who's on Team Sneaky? (working title, sounded more LoZ that "Team Tactical Stab Things Quietly In The Middle Of The Night")

I'm gonna say that telekinetic powers isn't a good idea, it should be an item from the games not telekinetic powers, it's too vague... also your appearance is too vague, try looking for a picture. Also diviant art is a great place to look for pics of characters

@Cyrania

Sorry man, Cucco is right. Also, I dont know if I like the idea of him being a 'Prince' weither or not I accept that depends on your backstory, if it is really good, I will accept it. I really would also prefer if you picked another name for his real name, too. Sheik is a cannon character.

There is merit to your idea... I will give it some thought.

You should have seen all the people who showed up for the interst check. More than half disappeared though..

Unfortunately that's simply how things operate around here.

Oh you should see this other RP website I used to be on. It was even worse when it came to getting RPs started. The GMs would either force everyone to make these stupidly long and detailed character sheets, I mean they wanted three paragraphs for personality, five for history, six likes and dislikes, it was bad. Or they would make the characters themselves and let other people pick the one they liked most. Then after people spent sometimes a couple hours making their characters and got accepted, it was usually the GM who left and stopped the RP from getting started.

And now you all know why I left it.

[Cyrania]

Alright, I was just thinking that no princes have been shown in-game while there are plenty of princesses named Zelda. Sheik was just an idea of a boy name that was passed down. And the psychic thing was that it seemed the only tangible thing a Zelda could pass down to her heirs. If you have any suggestions for an item, I would be most grateful.

@AirBender

I honestly don't see the point of Personality and History for a majority of the RPs I'm in. It's just an extraneous section that doesn't give any information that's immediately useful to the DM or other players as a majority of the time both of those sections end up getting changed mid-roleplay to suit the player's whims. Its kind of like Alignment in DnD where you're required to put it on there but unless people enforce it and/or make it a major plot point you can really just ignore it.

@Izaka Sazaka

I know right? I'd much rather build my character through the RP. Characters have lives of their own and practically write themselves as stories go on. Trying to force out an entire personality beforehand is just so boring and pointless.

@Cyrania

Hey, about the item thing. What about going for good ol' light magic? It's something believable for Zelda to pass down. And magic is okay as long as you don't make it overpowered.

[ColonelCaboose]

Here's attempt #2, decided to start from scratch again and go a different route, took a bit of a risk with this one so I won't be upset if it gets declined.

Sir Oryx

Name: Sir Oryx the Cursed Knight

Age: 1027
Sex: Male

Race: Stalfos

Handiness: Left

Appearance: Standing at 5'11, Sir Oryx is completely incased in his cursed armor which is decorated with that of skulls. Only those with keen eyes might see through his armor for what he actually is.

Hider

Inheritance: Sword of Valor - A sword passed through his family for generations, imbued with the spirit of Justice and Bravery that allows him to retain his mind and control over his cursed body.

Personality: Sir Oryx despite his horrific appearance and unsavory demeanor is still as noble and humble at heart as when he was still alive, living true to the fact it matters what's on the inside not on the outside. He is kind hearted and still holds onto his duties to serve and protect the people of his land and even those in need of help.

Recent history: Sir Oryx was not always as grotesque and offensive to the eyes as he is in his current state. Oryx served as a Hylian Knight to the Royal Family in his past days among the living. As a Hylian Knight he embodied the spirit to place others before himself and that there was no greater honor that to sacrifice one's self for another. He was the ideal Knight of the time, compared to many of his fellow comrades who more likened themselves to knight in name only, and not so much in practice. Oryx aspired to one day be a Royal Guard, only for the most worthy and humble of knights and he was on the right path to becoming one perhaps in a few more years of service. Disaster struck as an evil darkness descended upon the Kingdom and it was lost. With the Kingdom gone and the Royal Family gone Oryx went into self exile at his failure to protect his land from evil.

However a hero of light arose from the darkness and defeated the great evil, saving the land and restoring peace. Oryx returned from his exile to serve as a Hylian Knight and hopefully redeem himself. As time went on though evil once again slowly seeped into the land now from outside, but from within its borders and the source being the Legendary Hero of Time. Corrupted by unlimited power, Oryx devised a plan among fellow brave knights to stop their land from falling into darkness once more, but their plan was uncovered and they were punished harshly for their crimes. They were forced to serve as his knights for all eternity. Stripped of life, they were turned into Stalfos Knights to guard his castle.

During a great battle waged by heroes of past, present, and future, he stood guard in the Tombs of Hyrule's past ruler to future increase their pain by standing in the presence of some of Hyrule's greatest rulers and to know that they failed them. When the Hero of Time was thrown into the future, they remained there, still stuck in eternal servitude to him as was per the chase of the curse. Standing there, completely aware of their surroundings, yet unable to control their own decomposed bodies they remained for 1,000 years. However while the other knights became made and their minds ultimately coming to reflect their bodies Sir Oyrx's remained true. He focused hard on what his duties were as Hylian Knight, even if he didn't resemble one no more. His family's sword that his hands still clung to began to create a magical barrier around him after absorbing the magical aura of the past rulers of Hyrule. His sword unbeknownst to him which had been past down through his family of 10 generations of Hylians Knights had been infused with goodness and the essence of what makes a true knight.

As he felt his master's return into the land of Hyrule, the magical barrier created by his sword solidified and broke him of his chains, he was free to control himself once more, but still cursed to be among the living until the creator of his curse was vanquished. Sir Oryx left the tomb and set out to defy his master once again, hopefully this time for good.

Recently Demoko had been awoken by the major tear caused by his master the Goddess of Time. Fixing the massive tear on the one side, Demoko was unable to fix the tear on the other side, corruption and darkness lined the edges and to no avail would not disseminate, not until its source was exterminated, with no other choice Demoko traveled through the waves of Space and Time to where the darkness origins were coming through and entered into the realm of existence.

Personal Goal: To protect his homeland, free himself and his fellow comrades and to finally be laid to rest.

Three strengths (Not just combat)
1. Very skilled Swordsman.
2. Can speak to the more friendlier dead.
3. Noble of heart, always tries to see the good in people despite people always seeing the bad in him.

Three weaknesses (Not just combat)
1. Despite his good intentions at heart, his new form has made him incredibly weak against light magic.
2. As a Stalfos Oryx tends to cause panic and be seen as a monster, not as the person he once was.
3. Without his sword he mind will crumble, and the darkness the lurks within will be unleashed and he will fall prey to being a servant of darkness.

Greatest Love: Nature

Hates the most: Bullies, those who hurt others

Misc: Dogs really like him... for his bones...

*Thinking intesifies*

It doesn't have to be something Zelda would pass down, it could be something else entirly...like...uhh...._{fishing rod?XD}. Anyways, light magic works, illusions and blasts of light and such. If you can think of an item that might be better though.

Not bad, only thing is the last paragraph in history. It doesnt quite fit well with the story and a few other reasons. He would have no connection to the goddess of time and the part about the tear is to close to altering the story.

Remove the last paragraph of the history and I will aprove. Just expect some bone-headed skull jokes from me. YOHOHOHOHO!

[Crimson Raven]

This is unusual, but I would be willing to bet some of you have more expiriance GMing then me, so I may often ask your opinions.

With as many people as we have, should I allow two characters per person or will that be too much?

[Zarkun]

Unless there's more interest or you think it's absolutely necessary, I would hazard on too many right now. Perhaps after some time has passed?
