Hyrulean Civil War RP [Sign-Ups]

[Pen]

A couple of years ago a fierce civil war broke out in Hyrule. The reason behind the war is unknown to the common citizens of the land, but most people just assume that the authorities have good reasons. The kingdom is divided and war is being waged between all the different people; the Hylians of Castle Town, the Sheikah of Kakariko Village, the Zoras of Zora's Domain, the Gorons of Goron City, and the Gerudo of Gerudo Town. The forest seems to be the only place the war hasn't reached.

[DekuNut]

Name: William "Will" Brann
Age: 27
Race: Hylian
Gender: Male

When he does so, his innate energy-based powers are increased, but he gains animalistic instincts, which can be dangerous in the heat of battle, for both his opponents and his teammates. Plus, every time he does so, he feels like he loses a little more control of his soul. It's not much now, but if he continues to do it a lot he may someday lose himself completely. As such, he hates using it except under the direst circumstances. Outside that, as previously mentioned, he is a mage that wields lightning and other, similar, forms of energy.
Appearance:

Personality: Charismatic, positive, and energetic. His thoughts often move faster than most people, and his mouth follows suit, so he can be hard to follow sometimes.

When he was 22, he began to apprentice with his grandfather, who was doing experiments on creatures of pure elemental magic. After some time of this, they decided to try to absorb the power of these mindless magical beings.

Not long after, he joined the war effort as a spec ops soldier for the royal family.

Gender: Male
Weapon or Power: Shadow Magic, Greatsword
Appearance:
Personality: Focused, a bit of a softie

[Ryuken]

Name: Riddel
Age: 22
Race: Hylian/Rito
Gender: Male

Weapon or Power: Arrowsword, Boomershield, and some command over the Wind.
Arrowsword- has the aesthetics of an arrow, the size and dual-edge of a sword (90cm), and the weightlessness of a spear being thrown through the air. The special material inside prevents the weapon from being too unwieldly and gives it the same durability as a sword. Riddel wears two of them on his back, and he carries a "quiver" that can hold up to four at a time.
Boomershield- not only protects Riddel, but allows him to excercise his Wind ability. The weapon can be thrown horizontally at enemies to bash or daze them, and its trajectory can be manipulated either after traveling a long distance or after it bounces off an object. It travels at a constant speed and must be caught or wedged between two objects to stop it. Therefore, Riddel cannot halt the shield midair or simply suspend it midair.

Appearance- Think a variant of the Wind Waker Rito. 6'1" (1.85m), Black spiky hair with bangs, Green eyes, Light-tanned skin, and Broad-shouldered. His eyes are piercing like a Rito's, and his ears, mouth, and nose are that of a Hylian. Generally wears oversized, long-sleeved clothes to cover his wings, and oversized boots to cover his talons.
Personality: Reflective, perceptive, and sharp when it comes to logic/observations/reasoning. Good-natured, but bad at small talk and expressing emotion.
Backstory: Riddel has no recollection of his parents or of a normal life, only the rigorous training as a Hylian soldier in the civil war. Due to his unorthodox looks, Riddel never made many friends. His spare time consisted of observing people, places, and things, and reading books. An accidental death of a fellow soldier caused him to be discharged from the army, leaving him without a place to call home. He now wanders the land, trying to solve the mysteries surrounding the civil war as well as the mysteries surrounding his own childhood.

Let's discuss this character of yours in private. There's a couple of things I'll need explained.

Looks alright to me. Although I'm cautious about him being half Rito. This RP takes place before OoT, so there shouldn't be any Ritos around yet. However, if you do have an explanation to that, feel free to enlighten me. Here in the thread or through a PM, you decide.

Backstory: Oron worked a lot in Kakariko village as an apprentice of a blacksmith. After his apprenticeship, he traveled the world in order to learn more about his craft. He returned back to his hometown only to be greeted by the following events.

The application looks good, but I have a few questions about the backstory. So, I take it your character was a blacksmith apprentice in Kakariko before the Civil War broke out, right? And then he traveled abroad for a while, and when he returned to Hyrule the war had started. Is that all correct?

The way I've set up this RP is that the Hylians live in Castle Town and the Sheikah live in Kakariko Village. So with your character being a Hylian, I'd assume he is from Castle Town. However, before the war started I reckon he could have been working in Kakariko anyway. What I'd like to know is how recently he came back home to Hyrule and what he's been doing since then. ^^

 

[Yoyo015]

Oron is returning to Kakariko in my first post, so he hasn’t been doing anything. I’m assuming the state of Kakariko village will force him back into Castle Town.
