Oh so like, we can put it in character section right?
Currently, this RP is being run in Casual, however I am extending this to Advanced, in order to find more interested players.
The OOC is Here. Everything is there and present to begin making your characters should you be interested.





Premise

In the founding of Hyrule, the Valorbrands were the first Knights, the basis for the Hylian Knights today, many generations later. After some time the group was disbanded when the Hylian Knights were properly established, and since then they have become history. Today in the wake of horrific and grotesque killings and massacres in fringe villages, the "Valorbrands" have been formed once again to investigate these mysterious and violent events.

The group would be formed and led by the knight Afira, a pious lady of noble birth who seeks atonement, and had been allowed to do so by leading the Valorbrands, and she would be given the authority to recruit anyone she required. A recruitment push for it has been put around the Holy See of Hyrule, and the lands beyond, seeking any who wished to join their number, with the only requirement being that they wish to protect Hyrule.

Mechanics and System


Well, at the very least I will probably do that right now. I didn't think it necessary before but yeah at this rate this won't have enough players, which is anywhere between 3-6.

I'll drop this OOC into the interest and see how it goes.
That's quite alright, I'm kinda waiting on to see if other people join. Sadly it seems most from interest did not end up coming over, so now I'm at an impasse.
Well, if you wanna know more about the Hylanders, they're a predominantly warrior society with hunter gatherers. They have a culture wielding large weapons due to the size of wildlife in the region they call home. They did not always use such large weapons, before, they used spears too being a hunter society, but a madman at the time began using large blades and hammers, and with how quickly they took down prey, they caught on. Though the advent of this was well before Hyrule's time.

Today, they accept Hylians who wish to learn their ways, and out of respect, Hyrule does not interfere in the area, with there being an ambassador from the region to represent them. Their traditions that might be of interest to you is their hunting festivals, feats of strength, and a warrior's pilgrimage to Snowcap Peaks, where they must bring back a yeti's pelt. The pilgrimage though is so dangerous it's not actively practiced anymore, but anyone who feels they are strong enough may attempt it. I will go on to say that's a pretty difficult feat, but as a Hylander, it may be of interest to you when the RP goes to Snowcap.

I'll probably have a discord up in the weekend, my free time had been preoccupied with FF16.
Admittedly I may have to nerf the requirements for a lot of the Unorthodox haha. I'll go do that soon-ish. I actually want people to get the fighting styles they want sooner than I planned at the beginning, since I want to implement a custom style system for people to make their own unique magic and fighting style late in the RP.

If you want to encounter a specific style later though, we discuss that. Usually to setup an encounter, regardless of whether or not we've naturally encountered the opportunity to learn it. Also at set points, teachers for styles and opportunities do just become automatically available, such as when we go to Zora's Domain, the opportunities for the region's various styles and magic open up.

If you fought without a style, you wouldn't be super fucked, but you would be losing out on priority or just general free buffs. These stances are basically what makes melee fighters so dangerous, because not having a stance or style available automatically puts you at a disadvantage. For instance in the Hylian Knight Style, they have the Knight Strider stance, which gives priority to attacking. That means your attack will land first in any given interaction unless your Agility is actually shockingly low compared to the other guy.

It's really little things like that, plus you can change your stance once per post, so if you have access to multiple styles, you can change up your game plan depending on the situation.
Al-Marabar, Sand King Arena

@Letter Bee

The combined attack effort would be successful. The few shots fired by Ken would at first be repelled, before the last shot slipped through the cracks. The Geo Pistol's golden shots would draw a straight line right for the electro user's mask, briefly chipping it as it exposed one of the assailant's eyes. The sudden shock would cause him to double back and stop, avoiding the clash and attacks before taking a hand to it, trying to cover up the now exposed eye. For a brief moment, one could see a burning purple eye peeking out, having a rather unnatural quality to it.

"Uurgghh...", the attacker vocalized for the first time. As much of a victory as they had obtained by doing some sort of damage to him, it felt short lived as a massive electro orb gathered around them. It began to rip and fray at their cloak, albeit only very slightly, and is perhaps the reason for their tattered appearance.

Axom took a stance, readying himself for what might come next, and yet... They just stopped, just as soon as they seemed as if they were beginning to show their true power. They looked up, towards the tower that made up the capital city's control tower. Axom for a moment looked in slight confusion, before his eyes widened as he realized what was happening.

At that very moment, an explosion occurred somewhere within the tower, and a single figure came flying out of the smoke and debris. The cape that followed them fanning out into wings as they took flight. A small, golden speck in their hands could be visible, even from down there. At the very same time, the city stopped moving across the sandy sea, and a lot of facilities within it were shut down.

"You were a diversion!", he yelled in what appeared to be in immense distaste, grabbing his bow and aiming it at the flying figure, only to be intercepted by the electro attacker, preventing him from attacking at this opportune moment. As soon as he turned back, they were also gone, teleporting away from the arena in bursts. They were not uncontested however, as the Geo Archon fired arrows in pursuit, but such a fast fighter was hard to strike, particularly due to their teleportation. And after but a few moments, they were gone, disappearing beyond the arena.

"Damnit! Capture those Spines. And you! Take a cruiser see if you can tail that flying asshole!" he barked to some of his pirate crew. Most ran off to do as he said, to take care of the Aldugan Spines that were at this moment, beginning to run away, seeing as the earlier incident was their signal to escape. A few others though ran in a different direction towards the hangar bays, likely to use a vehicle to try and tail the flying one that ran.

"And as for you two down there...", he walked forward, looking down upon the two who helped him out.

"We shall talk soon. Just stay put...", he was a little ticked it seems though... It made it hard if he had gratitude or contempt for them at the moment, but for the time being it may be best for them to sit tight.

@Renose@Rezod92

Kazue's path of carnage was truly a sight to behold, some bystanders who were still stuck in the stands witnessing it were in awe, and some even saying they wanted to see her in the arena too. The Spines themselves though were on the other end of that, most running in fear, and those who were unlucky screaming in terror. However, the rampage would be stopped rather quickly, as a Shaitan man landed on Kazue's back, and pushed her into the floor. Before the young and unusual elf could do much more, he placed his hand upon her head, and told her to calm herself. The powers of suggestion by the Shaitan varied in strength, though this one had horns. Kazue would find herself calming down almost immediately. His goal seemed to be to restrain her it seemed.

"You, lizard man, you are not one of those Spines too correct? Please, for the time being, calm yourself, while me and my men get this under control", the garb he wore was white, accompanied by a gold and brown design with a logo that looked a lot like the flags that flew around the Sand King's building. One could make an educated guess that he was a part of the Sand King's crew. His skin was a vehemently dark brown, which contrasted very well with his gold eyes. His horns were rather small, but visible and would poke out from his white cloth headband, the straps of which would hang off the side. He had golden markings around his eyes, and as he spoke, small fangs could be visible. As far as Shaitan go, he was perhaps the one closest to what people thought Shaitan were. Devilish looking people with horns. Yet his tone and manner was both mild and polite, very much unlike the stories.

"As for this one, I would restrain her, until this situation has passed. Some of my men will be watching you both", he produced some rope and tied them tightly around, keeping Kazue's strange weapons constrained, and then seated her by a pillar. In a couple moments a few more in garbs similar to his would show up, and he'd give them the expected commands to just keep an eye on these two until further notice.
I'll have to mention that the combat styles is still getting entries, there's a lot of possible styles out there.

I do recommend you pick up one at least, you gain everything in the style as long as you're using the stances, plus the stances give you benefits. Learning new styles isn't difficult, the opportunities are just at set points. Any technique you list in your sheet is also able to be used regardless of stance.

Oh yes, the Zora Fencing style is also used by Hylians. It's actually just the realm's preferred spear style.

By the by, down the line and decently deep in the RP people may start creating their own unique style or magic school, so for now take what you can.
I may need to make some stipulations in the sheet such as you'll be joining the Valorbrands as someone with little to their name or fame.

@Jerkchicken I'd like you to refer to Combat Styles. Your backstory may need a little more, but it's premise works just fine. You'll want to pick up a combat style.

Way this RP works is you automatically know every technique in a combat style you've learned, however if you list them in your Techniques section, you can use them regardless of the fighting style you're currently using.

I may open up a discord soon to help people with their sheets more easily.

@DClassified As cool as that could be, unfortunately there's no room for that. There's currently a living Gerudo King NPC in the RP, though very old. And this RP still follows the one Gerudo male thing.
Rito have been known to also use their talons to fight, so it's plausible, just rare because they normally use spears and bows. Considering it is talons it would be a kicking style. Eastern Pugilist actually got you covered haha. Also yes, that style is usually referred to as tiger claw or tiger style.

If you wanna match the tone he'd have to be a wanderer of some sort.

The spear user of course naturally fits right in.
