Apocalyptic Zelda RP : Whispers in the Night -- 2 OPEN SPOTS LEFT

@Holy Grail I know you have back ups ready to go, but I just want to make one thing clear-- That doesn't really secure anything. I'll be totally honest, I'm not a big fan of the "Throw as Many Ideas at the Wall as Possible and Hope One Sticks" approach to trying to muscle one's way into an RP with limited spots. I would have much preferred if you came to me with a single, well thought out idea instead of several concepts.

@jasonwolf Looks good so far. Just a few things I would ask (though I know you said it's not quite finished)

-- Make sure you mention his impeccable slowness in his Super Fighting Robot ability.

-- Could you center the youtube videos and convert them to video form using the v= code?

-- I was picturing a giant legless robot with a knight-looking head and torso, similar to the ones in Skyward Sword, but you mentioned he's carrying his excess Peahat oil on his thighs? Can you clarify what sort of form he has a little more?

@jasonwolf Honestly, I got no beef with sparse histories. Tends to allow for more flexibility. With Noi being in a more or less secluded area, I can't imagine him having bared witness to all that much aside from way back when all the other bots were alive and working on stuff.

@Furia Huh, that's weird. It's definitely Baklava#8096, so I dunno what's goin on there. I hardly ever use my Skype anymore, but my username is fmalchemist49.

So far I've got a spot reserved for @jasonwolf, unless he gets back to me saying he's changed his mind.

The second spot I have yet to give away. Based on the characters that are being suggested, I'm deciding which I think would work best with what I've already got.

@Holy Grail Eh, I'll get back to you on the Minish character in a sec. Gotta research some lore and talk with my co-GM since he's played it and I haven't.

@Holy Grail Could you possibly narrow it down to the one idea you like most and we'll go from there?

@POOHEAD189 Uh, all three of those things, I guess? I thought the premise was pretty straightforward. You're a person/monster/whatever you are and you've been called to the Festival of Time by some voice in your head. I don't have any parameters for how enthusiastic about that your character has to be-- just that they get there. Then everyone is asked to meet in the graveyard where a fairy explains their mission, should they choose to accept it.

@Furia That sounds like it would fit quite well actually. While we do already have a Gerudo, Veitaru isn't really a "true" Gerudo in a sense. I wouldn't say all the Gerudo are happy about Ganondorf's potential return. It would make sense for Nabooru to have had some effect on her fellow Gerudo and I think some division on the topic would've been very likely. I'm assuming you already saw the blurb about the Gerudo:

Aveil is the leader of the Gerudo. Although many years have passed since Ganondorf’s defeat, tensions between the rest of Hyrule and the Gerudo tribe persist. They are still seen as thieves to many. The Gerudo continue to be very reclusive and do not take well to outsiders-- especially trespassers. The women themselves are usually never seen outside their fortress except to find short-term boyfriends, however, there has been talk of some abandoning their traditions and seeking better lives outside the fortress.

At something like the Festival of Time, I think seeing a Gerudo or two wandering around wouldn't be totally out of the question. If you're wanting her to have a Nabooru-like role, I could make that happen. Maybe even collab some interactions between your character and Aveil for future plot-related stuff. I would ask, however, that you double check with me before making any hard assumptions about the Gerudo and Gerudo Fortress (anything that could potentially meddle with the plot). Our resident Shiekah has had to do the same-- especially since the group is now entering the Shadow Temple. I'm almost always on Skype and Discord as well, so I'm available for quick question-answering.

@Holy Grail Well, I mostly asked if you'd looked at the roster because we already have a a few of the types of characters you're wanting to be. As I said, I'm looking for more diversity in my group-- race diversity, yes, but perhaps I should have been a little more specific.

The Darknut and Stalfos concepts kind of intersect with the Poe and Skullkid bit. Not in that they typically follow Ganondorf, but in that they are known for typically being enemies-- not heroes of Hyrule. Would rather not have anymore monsters. I can be persuaded, but it better be a really really damn good concept.

The female Twili question seemed like an odd one to ask since we already have a male Twili. So the answer would be yes in that I would allow it, but it's not what I'm looking for. Like... at all. I already have one remarkable Twili that technically shouldn't be there-- having two would be ludicrous.

Should jasonwolf ultimately decide to go through with joining with Nio, that would also give me two time-defying characters. Nio is obviously just a really old character, but still time-defying in a sense. The theory for getting your Rito to Hyrule seems pretty far fetched as well-- though, to be honest, I think just about any theory would be far fetched. It would take a lot of world twisting in order to make happen.

Most importantly, however, I really really really don't want to throw a character into the mix who can tell everyone "Hey! I'm from the future! Guess what? Saving Hyrule is useless because over half of the population is drowned in a huge flood after Ganondorf is revived!"

I'm a little concerned that this thought never occurred to you, actually. It's kind of an extremely pivotal part of my whole story. Any race or person from Wind Waker would really trample all over everything. Sure, you could say your character never learned about ancient well-known legends of the past, but I don't really want to go there. I've already got some pretty outlandish races, so I'm more looking for some races that don't require super special and specific events to make happen. I've already got quite a few of those. The male Twili being the most prime example.

I feel like there are so many diverse and cool races of Hyrule, I don't see why we have to shoot for the ones that will be the hardest to incorporate. Nor ones that are similar to what I've already got.

@Holy Grail I'm afraid I'm gonna have to the answer your questions with some questions for now:

1. Did you look at the character roster first like I asked? That will answer some of your questions-- as well as the rules section of the OOC.

2. Are you sure you've got enough time to dedicate to an advanced RP? I think I heard you say you were dealing with some time constraints in Wisheater, right?

3. This RP requires a lot of free thinking. Are you down with that? How do you think a Rito would find their way into the current timeline? (That is, what did you have in mind?)

@jasonwolf I would kind of prefer if you stayed away from the grayish/black tones. I like for the colors to make your character's text pop, and gray tends to have the opposite effect.

Feel free to work on a character sheet. PM it to me for review when finished and we should be gucci from there.

@jasonwolf I figured their aggression would make it rather easy for Noi. In Ocarina of Time, they tend to come to you, not the other way around.
