Legend of Zelda AU: Children of Hyrule [Need Din!]

Interested if there if still room for me.

Log Horizon: North Wen Alliance

MamaFang sighed as she listened to the two mercanaries speak, it was just like back when this was just a game, she wondered if people could speak without being called out like this was still modern warfare xbox. "Now now, children I am sure you both are veeery dangerous people, and lets get this out of the way as well while we are at it. Yes, you fucked eachother's mothers, you both have a 'third leg', and are the scariest people in the room. Now that that is over, the adults are talking sweeties." Now that MamaFang made her position very clear, punctuated by a barely muffled laugh from TinyFang behind her, and a hand that suddenly moved to snatch Parks up by the collar and casually senf the tiny boy flying away from MamaFang, she continued. "I understand how some people would find this world more appealing than the previous, but you fail to realize that with the combinations of the guilds here, there is literally no reason to be hiring you two. Sure it would make things go slightly faster, but like our resident table goblin said, I am quite sure we can find people who are more capable for the same prices. Now if you wish to stop brining up being paid for literally nothing, I myself would happily provide a reward for any guildless folks who help out.

MamaFang sighed again, rubbing her forehead. "That being said, if I hear another word from anybody about anything even vaugely resembling payment before the details for the issues at hand are yet to even be confirmed, I am banning everyone not in my guild from my hall after curb stomping anybody with their mouth open. IF there is going to be payment, I would imagine it would be in the form of a reward, AFTER the job is completed in some form. If the choice is left up to me I would pay you only what I found you to be worth to us, and not a peice more... Or am I the only person in this room who actually has experience playing this game as anything other than a dammed roleplaynig forum? I refuse to pay anybody anything if they plan on leaving the job half finished, or sitting in the background doing nothing. There is a reason quests pay when they are completed, as do jobs in the real world, you do not get paid for doing nothing!"

MF had gone from speaking to yelling in the span of a minute or two, a combination of factors spanning this previous month finally catching up to her as she spoke. Silencing the hall with her stature and bellowing voice, a few of the older kids looked at eachother and worked on getting the others ready and out of the hall, TinyFang now moving to an empty seat next to her mother, who was now red faced and seething, her peircing glare daring anybody to speak out of turn. "Now I thank you all for enjoying the meal, but over the last month a few things seem to have been forgotten by you people. This is a game. You are not some holy church. You are not some magical king. You are not a mercanary, you are all just a bunch of losers who logged into Elder Tale at the wrong time. Just because this WAS a game does not mean that hurting others is ok. PvP was one thing when we could not feel what was happening. If we are to ignore playerkillers unless it profits us, why step in for kidnapping, human traffiking, or worse? I mean, it is a 'Game' after all right? Nobody ACTUALLY gets hurt, right? No, this is no more a game than real life was, not anymore."

"Well all in all I agree with the girl who is looking for a one way ticket to the respawn temple. Seriously what are your parents teaching you? And you Parks, I am really not sure how much HP your little king shtick gives you but I am 100% sure I could more than likely half hit you if I were to backhand you right now, out of my chair." MamaFang sighed as she walked out of the kitchens and into the room. Unlike normal, MF was not currently wearing her armor, instead she wore a set of simple black trousers and a thin cotton shirt that hugged her shape.

"We need to make the roads safe, it's no good if we can't move without being ambushed by some unknown amount of monsters and player killers. It just makes no sense to me, all in all we need to stop bickering and actually try to solve some of these problems instead of immediately treating this world as real and taking advantage of it. Do none of you want to go back home?" MamaFang sighed as she slid into her chair, no longer caring if anybody else was sitting in it.

TinyFang stood behind her, watching the table with a steely gaze, she had followed her mother in and kept silent the whole time, this was a time for adults to speak... adults and kids barely out of their teens it seemed. Her mother was right, they needed to at least thin the amount of monsters on the road before doing much else, even the player killers could wait until the roads were cleared out.

Today was a mess, not only was she having to cook for a larger number but several guild heads had chosen her hall out of all places to set up shop for whatever horrid excuse they were surely ready to lie to her with. All in all most of her time spent in the game since the whole expansion business was spent watching over her guild. " Mama, I think we got the... the err. " The small dwarven girl went pale, her cheeks going pink as she failed to pronounce the dish. " Honey, it's Pitepalt, and if it's ready go send it out with some of the older kids and MissGrump. " The girl nodded in response, her voice echoing in the back rooms and gently out into the main hall as within a surprisingly short amount of time a group of 5 came out carrying plates and dishes, readying the table with practiced ease as a Dwarven woman with thin grey hair tied back into a bun shuffled along carrying a pot.

" Pitepalt, for those of you uneducated little monsters around here, it's a swedish dish originally. Down to it's basics it's a breakfast dumpling whose dough is made of potato and is stuffed with such things as pork, and in Mama's case cheese as well. It served with butter or jam, as well as milk. "

The old woman commanded an air of respect in the same way your grandmother would always be obeyed at the dinner table. As the nearby chairs filled, other more american dishes quickly came out for those who wished something else. Pancakes, oatmeal, fruits, MamaFang was expecting company and nothing would be too much. It also served as a way to show off her guild hall, as it was slightly larger than normal, allowing for the massive central hall to function as a giant dining room.

Upon beginning the serving of the Pitepalt the old woman raised her head, allowing a single eye to glare violently at Parks. "Child I really don't know who you think you are sitting in Mama's chair. If SHE won't whup you I will." With that she grunted, not waiting for a response as the room slowly began filling itself, the main table being left for the guests and MamaFang as the side tables easily filled themselves. The room echoed with laughter and talk already, and was host to a range of levels now, most who belonged to The Fang Family being under level 40, with the higher levels and ages scattered across the room keeping an eye on everything and helping prepare and deliver the food. Yes The Fang Family was surely as it's name implied.

Quote

“Laugh, even when you feel too sick or too worn out or tired.
Smile, even when you're trying not to cry and the tears are blurring your vision.
Sing, even when people stare at you and tell you your voice is crappy.
Trust, even when your heart begs you not to.
Twirl, even when your mind makes no sense of what you see.
Frolick, even when you are made fun of.
Kiss, even when others are watching.
Sleep, even when you're afraid of what the dreams might bring.
Run, even when it feels like you can't run any more.
And, always, remember, even when the memories pinch your heart. Because the pain of all your experience is what makes you the person you are now. And without your experience---you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your head up high the next day. So don't live life in fear. Because you are stronger now, after all the crap has happened, than you ever were back before it started.”

-Name-
Ikelos 'Ike' Eve

-Age-
120

-Gender-
Male

-Personality-
Why fight when you can laugh? Why work when you can sleep? Ike is not the picture of "Vampiric Royalty" not by far, but he is in fact a pureblood of house Eve. In his youth he was an obedient little boy, doing everything he was told and learning all he would. In time though, came his current mindset. The more he learned about the world, the more he really did hate it. The world was fully of greedy, hate filled people be they vampire or human. Everyone worked for their own goals, no matter their outward appearance. Despite pessimistic and overall "Fuck it" attitude for life, he is a very friendly young man who loves to see people around him having fun and forgetting for once in their lives ( or their undeath ) forgetting the troubles of the world. He is slow to get moving, and extremely difficult to anger, but once he is moving he is a terror to behold.

-Bio-
Though he grew up in a household that seemed hellbent on staying neutral in most any decision until the very end, this did not mean that Ike was not subject to people who would try to push their ideals onto him. Like all who grow up in the Houses, Ike was given a very formal education that included being trained in weaponry and combat. Though he disliked fighting, he was found to be extremely effective at hand to hand combat due to him being naturally quicker than most vampires he found himself fighting. Due to this, he was gifted a pair of Silver and Steel Brass Knuckles that he keeps on himself whenever possible.

Unexpectedly, many find him to be a good example of a Young Eve, always trying to keep neutral, constantly diffusing situations and often being the final say in many situations. He already has begun to enjoy his time at the Academy, albeit mostly because he has somebody to talk to who is not a servant of some kind or contantly looking down on him because of his youth.

-Sexual Orientation-
Pansexual

-Likes-
Baking
Animals
Sleeping
Reading (Fiction/Romance Novels)

-Dislikes-
Birds
Loud noises
Crowds
Being the center of attention

-Habits-
Dozing off
(Sleep has become a near art form for Ike, and he tends to easily find himself capable of sleep when he is feeling overwhelmed, almost like a self defense mechanism.)

Joke the pain away
(outwardly calm and smiling, calmly telling the world to go fuck itself. Ike actually worries quite a bit, he often pushes away his worries and tries to forget them with a good laugh.)

MamaFang

Username: MamaFang
Real Name: Dorothy Hare
Gender: Female ( In and out of game )
Age: 39
Race: Wolf Fang
Class: Guardian ( Fortress Build )
Subclass: Chef
Level: 92
Appearance: 6ft7 and very clearly well built, her tail is most often hidden beneath her armor but her ears are the same color as her hair, making them sometimes difficult to detect in the waving mass of pale blonde. Her armor is not quite as high level or powerful as it could be, but is nevertheless extremely sturdy and well maintained by her husband, whose character is/was a blacksmith. Visually, when one gets a look at MamaFang, they typically think back to the Crusaders of old, albeit with a tinge of fantasy added in with the addition of the massive great-shield.

Background: A stay at home mother, Dorothy had always been a NEET. In her youth she stayed inside and happily watched as the world of technology grew around her. While many people her age were getting jobs or thinking about relationships, Dorothy was hidden inside with her childhood friend and soon to be husband Jacob. At 19 the pair moved in together, with Jacob providing most of the income while Dorothy did her best as she tried to fulfill her dream of becoming an internet personality. At age 21, Dorothy found she was pregnant. The birth of the little girl was the highest point of Dorothy's life, and it was only now that she realized what people meant when they had been telling her about their children. When her little girl was 5, Dorothy happily watched her grow up, albeit a bit disappointing that she did not show any real interest in the world of gaming until the release of Elder Tale, and even then only played sporadically. Nevertheless Dorothy was happy, and determined to find that spark hidden within her daughter and bring it to life.

In Game History: Pure Chaos, while she had logged on with her daughter, it took her a week before she finally found her. The rest of this month was spent doing what MamaFang did best, rounding up the terrified and confused newer players and helping them cope and learn with the world around them. MamaFang adjusted frighteningly quickly, her instincts as a mother kicking in as she realized she needed to keep calm and collected if she and her little girl were going to get through this at all.

Guild/Position: (Guildmaster) The Fang Family, before the game became all too realistic, The Fang Family was a guild dedicated to helping newer players learn about the world around them and how it worked before being tricked into a guild, or simply making an ill informed decision. Though technically one of the larger guilds on the server, with nearly 90% of it's population fluctuating and being players below 30, it is by no means a powerful guild, influential? Yes, many larger guilds either left them alone or even allied with them, as a new recruit from The Fang Family meant they would spent less time and resources training and teaching. There was also the fact that The Fang Family heavily influenced the newer players, and if any one guild seemed to be overly hostile The Fang Family could redirect the flow of newer players away from them and into better suited guilds.

Personality: Loud, protective, nagging, If ever a party needed a mother MamaFang was always it. She fussed about her teammates, always making sure she could keep them safe in any respect she could. Her build reflects this, using armor and skills that allow her to become the focus of a fight and keep her allies safe. She is a calm and collected individual during combat, always keeping an eye on those around her, be they enemy or ally.

Skills:
Shield Swing:Wielding a Shield, rush into an enemy and deal a heavy blow to an opponent. This skill consumes slightly more MP, but has a wider range of effect; if correctly positioned, the user can hit multiple enemies. The damage output of this skill depends on the Shield's Defense stat.

Taunting Blow:Increase Hate towards yourself while attacking by using large gestures. A basic skill of Guardians who play the True Shield role.

Anchor Howl:Establish yourself as a threat to the enemy by raising a loud cry, a powerful Guardian provocation skill that instantaneously raises your own Hate. Since you are taking the brunt of the enemy's attacks, you gain a DEF boost for a short while, a reason why Guardians are good on the front lines. While defense is increased, the Guardian's armor glows.

Castle of Stone:Become the pinnacle of defense, an immobile fortress of stone that can take all damage for a short duration. It is one of the strongest defense skills, exclusive to Guardians. When this skill is in effect, the user's body looks like it is made of marble.

Covering:Before enemies can get too close, stand in their way to defend another member of your team and take the damage for them, another signature skill of the Guardian class. Because you have to be in position before activating the skill, the party's formation is important.

Cool Defense:Be a calm and reassuring defense in any situation. Reduce any damage taken by a certain percent during the duration of this skill. The effect increases with the amount of damage taken, but also uses up MP, so most people use it in a short duration of time when under heavy attack.

Fortress Stance:Turn into a weaponless, defense-oriented, steadfast fortress. You cannot be pushed back by or wince at an opponent's attack, and your defense increases. Useful in long, drawn-out battles against multiple opponents. A blue aura manifests at your feet when this skill is in use.

Steady Bulwark:Ready your shield in a defensive pose to reduce damage. A dome-shaped light encases your allies within a certain range, applying the damage reduction effect to them as well. The higher the Defense of your shield, the greater the effect of this skill.

Resilience:Showing the durability of a Guardian's strong body, recover HP during battle as if you were resting. HP is gradually recovered, but not at the rate of a Druid's heal-over-time spells. It is useful for continuing long battles, though.

Armor Crash:Using a heavy weapon such as an Axe or Hammer, deal a heavy blow on an opponent's armor and lower their ATK and DEF.

Equipment:

Crusader's Skin Set

The Crusader's Skin set consists of 4 pieces to gain the full effect, with an optional 5th piece ( Weapon )

1 Item - Base hp pool is increased by 25%

2 Items - Crowd control effects such as slows, silences and stuns only last half as long on you.

3 Items - Healing skills used on you also restore an additional .5% of your total mana pool. Healing effects that take place over time can only proc this effect 4 times per skill.

4 Items - Your total defense rating is increased by 25% and every 60 seconds, any healing skill used on you removes 2 seconds from any skills currently on cooldown.

__________
Crusader's Vengance: The Fifth and optional piece of the " Crusader's Skin " set, " Crusader's vengeance is a 3 sphere flail. Basic attacks made by " Crusader's Vengance " ignore 10% of the target's total defense rating, and grants access to the weapon skill " Readied Flail. "

Readied Flail: You move your flail in a circular motion, speeding up as time goes on and slowing your movement speed by 15% up to 20% as the skill is 'Charged' once charged, the flail strike ignores 15% of a target's defense value and causes a 5 second 30% slow. Targets wearing medium or light armor are bled for 20 points every second for 3 seconds for each sphere that strikes them. Targets wearing heavy armor will instead be stunned for 2 seconds for each sphere that successfully makes contact, preventing the use of abilities.

Fun Facts:

Tinyfang

Username: TinyFang
Real Name: Samantha Hare
Gender: Female ( In and out of game )
Age: 18
Race: Wolf Fang
Class: Cleric ( Armored Cleric )
Subclass: War Priest
Level: 48
Appearance: 5ft9 with long blonde hair often pulled back into a ponytail, TinyFang is like, as the name implies, a much smaller version of her mother. Her tail and ears match her hair color, and are more often on display than her mother. Her armor and weapons are simple, but well made. A thick chain-mail shirt over a thicker cloth gambeson, a solid iron shield and a single headed iron flail.

Background: Born into a family of gamers, Samantha never really saw the appeal. She was more interested in running track or writing. Though, when Elder Tale came out, and she watched her mother play it, she slowly gained an interest in the fantastic world of gaming. New to the scene, she played rarely, and often with the help of her mother. Even at level 48 she still has yet to properly get used to gaming, and often forgets to check her own hp bar, use skills, ect. Nevertheless she is slowly learning, and when by her mother's side she is surprisingly effective.

In Game History: Pure unadulterated terror. The game was fun, but if anybody had told her this would happen, she would simultaneously laugh and avoid the game completely. She had no idea how some people were taking things so well, just a week apart from her mother nearly gave her a heart attack. Eventually though, she learned to ignore her fear and confusion and went to work helping her mother with the players somehow newer than her, some being somehow even younger.

Guild/Position: The Fang Family / Member

Personality: Confusion, Loyalty, a giant heart. TinyFang always does her best to help, though she often ignores her own safety to do so. If putting herself in harm's way means helping somebody else, then she will happily do so. She enjoys sweets

Skills:
Cure: A close range skill that removes debuffs and heals for a tiny amount. The amount of debuffs removed depends on the level of the caster compared to that of the one who had applied the debuffs.

Healing light: A short ranged healing skill with a short cool-down that heals a single target for a fixed amount depending on user level. Even at higher levels this skill is outclassed by other healing skills, but it's short cool-down makes it a favorite of TinyFang, who often forgets cool-downs exist anyways.

Shield Bash: A skill taken from the Guardian class using the War Priest subclass, the user moves forwards and slams their shield into a target, providing a very short stun that might do very little in the way of crowd control, but can effectively interrupt casting or distract a single target.

Steady Bulwark: A skill taken from the Guardian Class using the War Priest subclass, The user readies their shield in a defensive posture to reduce damage and encases allies within a certain range to the sides and behind in a dome shaped light, reducing damage done to them as well. This skill uses a steady amount of MP for the entire duration of it's use, instead of using a flat number, making up for it's short cooldown.

Healing Presence: A passive skill, Allies within a short range of the cleric gain a small HP regen buff. Though not enough to completely replace another real healing skill, this is a rather effective skill no matter the level as most of it's scaling comes from the individuals who gain the buff depending on their total HP. So no matter your level, Healing presence's buff effectively restores 1% of the total HP pool every three seconds, making it a powerful tool in long winded fights as it uses nearly no mana, only stunting base mana regeneration. Allies under the effect of this skill gain a small light blue plus sign on their chests.

Equipment:

Log Horizon: An American Elder Tale

Interested, seen a fair bit of the anime but I agree with @Denny we need a bit of a plot. While Slice of Life sort of stuff is great, an actual goal would help keep things together.

Efi Will Not Be Happy About This -

Basic idea here, Off Tank

-Name-
Joseph Hare

-Age-
36

-Birthplace-
Harlingen Texas, United States.

-BN Tag-
HarmlessNooblet

-Role-
Off Tank ( DPS to a lesser degree )

-Main-
D-VA / Brigitte / Junkrat

-Personality-
Bad jokes, good laughs and close friends, That is Joe. Though he is a fair bit older than many Overwatch League players he stills quite easily keeps up with them, though his age is often focus for jokes and ridicule he ignores anything he can't laugh at. If there were anybody that could be considered the group's " Dad " it could be Joseph. He keeps a close eye on his friends and is always ready to help, be it in-game or in real life.

Ingame he goes from a a rarely serious, joking man, to a very quiet and observant ally. His role as Off-tank often brought him to either D-VA or Brigitte, as both has he capability to support their team and tank, as well as peel for the support when needed. He would not consider himself team leader, far from it. He would rather keep close and help out those leading the charge.

-Background-
Born in Harlingen TX, Joseph grew up playing mostly RTS and Roleplaying games. He was used to keeping an eye on multiple things at once and easily enjoyed the Fallout and Elder Scrolls games as well as the Command and Conquer games. His switch from RTS and RPG over to FPS games started with his niece Samantha. Samantha was a huge lover of FPS games, CoD, Halo, Counter Strike, they were all favorites of hers. Overwatch was a new frontier for her due to the differences between a normal FPS and Overwatch, but she quickly adjusted, and on her Uncle Joseph's 34th bithday, she bought him the game.

The game had been out for little almost half a year at that point, and Joseph was very late to the hype train. He had heard of the game but never went out of his way to try it. Needless to say he was not the player he is now, and he needed a fair amount of help from his niece who had already gotten used to the game.

Joseph was a fast learner, quickly adapting to the game's play-style and settling into his own set of favorite characters. It was surprising for him though, when he was recruited into a professional team following soon after his self-introduction to TWITCH streaming.
