It has been just over six months since Link, the Hero of Sky, finished off the Demon King Demise, freeing the land below the clouds. Now, after discussion with those brave souls who had descended to the surface, the government of Skyloft has seen fit to begin resettling the long-forgotten Surface. But much of what lies below has been forgotten, and it's up to the daring adventurers who chose to give up their life in the Sky for one on the solid earth to discover what their ancestors left behind, and finish the work Link had started.

Rules:
  • No god-modding
  • No canon characters
  • What Deku says goes. End of story.

Name: Kora
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Race: Skyloftian
Loftwing Name: Raventail
Preferred Weapon: Fire Magic, Lance, Battleaxe
Specialized Skills: Arcane Knowledge, Herbalism, Sketching, Singing.
Personality: a quiet soul. tends to get lost in thought to an extensive degree. Easy going unless provoked, then you better Run
Backstory: Kora is the Oldest daughter in a line that mythologically traces it's family tree to The Goddess Din. whether this is true or not is up for debate, but regardless, Kora was trained in Fire Magic by her mother, or at least started to before her mother passed away from a broken heart. you see Kora's Father was a travelling man, or at least that is what Kora was told, and one day Kora's Mom just gave up hope and died. Kora grew to resent her father that day, and if she ever meets him, she will have words with him. Anyways, Kora was recruited into the Knights academy along with her Black Loftwing. while Kora's interests do lean towards the Medical side of things, she will not hesitate to light a monster up

Name: Celliera Blu
Age: 30
Gender: Female
Race: Hylian
Appearance:
unknown.png

Loftwing Name: Pele
Preferred Weapon: Lance
Specialized Skills: Master of physical fitness, bodybuilding and anatomy.
Personality: Celliera is hard-headed and strict. It's either her way or the highway, especially when she's in charge, though even when she isn't she's willing to knock some sense into her superior officers. She takes pride in bringing out the best in herself and others. While she can be rough with people, she usually does it with that goal in mind, though it can be hard to see sometimes. She also doesn't have much in the way of personal boundaries, being willing to get very close to check how far along her students had come. Due to her constant vying for self-improvement, she doesn't really have much in the way of hobbies or friends, and that lack of separation between work, home and improvement is starting to take its toll on her.

Backstory: Celliera is the latest Blu in a long line of Skylofitan guards. She's made a name for herself outside her name, however, by her training methods. Outside the regular training done by other guards, Celliera took time to research anatomy and Skyloftian physiology, and paired that knowledge with training to get the best results. She started out training herself, and when her methods began to be noticed by her fellow guards, she began tutoring them as well. Upon her graduation from the academy, she quickly became an instructor there herself, pushing the next generation of Knights to be the best that they could be. She was known as one of the stricter instructors at the academy, and as such she doesn't hold a lot of love from the other knights; that said, she holds their respect, which she deems to be far more important.
More recently, Celliera has begun to feel uneasy. While she was bringing out the best in others, she had slowed down on bringing out the best in herself, leading to a hollow feeling regarding her teaching position. Matters were only complicated by the advent of her 30th birthday, which reminded her how long it had really been since she'd graduated from the academy. When talks began of colonizing the surface, Celliera was one of its biggest proponents, and eventually left her post at the academy to head the colonization expedition.

A forgotten forest
Name: Cañatillo
Age: 16
Gender: male
Race: Kikwi
Appearance: Small and round as all Kikwi, I have a black back and cream belly. Fluffy feathers cover me from my tiny feet to the top of my head, where six stiff stalks grow in a small cluster. A large bulb, nearly the same size as me, grows from my back. It’s typically closed, but when something scares or startles me, it opens into a small greenish-grey shrub that lets me hide.
Preferred Weapon: sticks and stones
Specialized Skills: As a forest dweller, I have intimate knowledge of various plants and herblore, which I attempt to use to help my friends. My tiny size also makes it easier for me to sneak around, and I enjoy a good game of hide-n-seek, whether it’s for fun with my friends or for serious with monsters. I’ve also got a pretty good aim with my little sling.
Personality: I prefer to hide if I’m nervous or scared. I am very curious about everything around me, and while I might try not to pester people with questions, I do stick my beak into everything. Sometimes I even play this up, as these Skyloftians find me especially cute, and it’s fun to earn a few laughs and giggles.
Backstory: When the Skyloftians were travelling through Faron in their quest for a new place to call home, I decided to follow. It took me a bit to work up the courage to actually approach the group, but they accepted me among them pretty easily. I’ve made a few friends, and learned that I actually enjoy travelling. It’s certainly more interesting than just playing with my fellow Kikwi in Faron Woods. I’ve also proven myself useful to them, given my vast knowledge of flora, of which these Sky people are ignorant.

Name: Penthos Asimi
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Race: Hylian
Appearance: Around average height and has a well trained body without being overly muscular. He has long golden hair that he puts up into a top-knot, a small goatee and golden eyes to boot. In his left ear he's got a silver earring.
Screenshot 2020-05-12 at 04.58.16.png
Loftwing Name: Chara
Preferred Weapon: Dual dao swords
Specialized Skills: Wood craft and forging
Personality: Cocky and seemingly very full of himself, Penthos isn't afraid of telling people exactly what he thinks of them. He's also very driven to achieve his goals and doesn't seem to care what others think of him.
Backstory: Penthos's mother went missing suspiciously when Penthos was just a child. He had fond memories of her but no one knew where she had gone. Shortly after her disappearance Penthos started attending the knight academy and was amongst the top students. Celliera became his biggest rival at the academy throughout their time training there. Due to not playing well with others Penthos became quite disliked by the other trainees, but he didn't seem to mind one bit. He kept on insulting many of his classmates while doing very well in training. At the graduation ceremony his father was the only person cheering Penthos on, since he had rubbed pretty much everyone the wrong way over the past years. However, the graduation ceremony would be the last time the residents of Skyloft saw Penthos in many years. The following morning he was gone, just like his mother had disappeared several years prior. And his father was found dead in their home. Many believed Penthos had killed his old man but nobody knew anything for sure about the strange circumstances surrounding the riddles of the Asimi family. Penthos settled down on a small remote island where he managed to build a small home and live for about a decade in isolation. When he found out about the surface he became eager to visit it, so after having made the necessary preparations he flew down there on his loftwing, Chara.

Where do you make those portraits @DekuNut ? I saw that on Bulba too.
A website called Rinmaru Games. Pen, Storm and I use them for most of our character portratis.
Look forward to seeing what you make with it. And feel free to look around for other character creators on there too if you find one that better suits your needs.

Picrew is another website that I've actually started liking more for character portraits lately, but I used Rinmaru this time because I couldn't find an avatar creator on Picrew that had everything I needed for my character. But it does have plenty of great looking ones to choose between! ^^

Very much a dude.
You know, I haven't done roleplaying on here yet, so let's give this a try.

Name: Arne.

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Race: Hylian

Appearance: 6'1" tall, with a fighter's body, that is, a lean, but toned build. His hair is long and golden, reaching down to his hips, but for the sake of practicality, he ties it up in a braid. He wears plain clothes with muted colors, with a riveted mail hauberk (full shirt, FYI), with a dark, forest green cloak covering it. He has a full beard, and no piercings, with one bright blue eye.

During a previous encounter, he received a cut on his left eye. The wound was serious, but miraculously, he can still see out of it, just he no longer has any pigment in that eye.

Loftwing Name: Scout. Scout is a beautiful bird with blue and green plumage with a white underbelly and golden eyes, signifying him as male.

Preferred Weapons: Winged spear, a simple oak shield, with a sword as a backup. When nothing else works, he always has a dagger on him.

Specialized Skills: Spear and sword-fighting, and, if this is allowed, some magic to augment the power of his strikes, kinda like a Paladin's smite from D&D.

Personality: If I can sum it up in a few words, blunt and pragmatic. Underneath that gruffness is a heart of gold. He learned through his experiences in life that to survive, to help people, there is some work that no one wants to do in order to benefit those he loves.

However, as a carryover from his youth, he's always had a sense of wanderlust and curiosity.

Backstory: As a child, he was a carefree, loving youth with a deep curiosity, wanderlust, and reading, but his parents, being from the Knight Academy themselves, were ambushed at night by unknown enemies, killing his parents, and one of the assailants attacked him with strange magic that sliced his eye, and nearly destroying it.

Due to his quick wit and bravery, he was able to fend himself off from the assailants, but the damage was done. He was forever scarred literally and figuratively from this experience at the tender age of 7.

He was orphaned, and taken in by the Knight Commander, who took pity on him. It was the Knight Commander who instilled in him honesty, integrity, hard work, a strong sense of justice, and personally trained him to be the best fighter he could.

At the Knight Academy, he excelled the most in the use of weapons, Loftwing riding, and reading. His experience at the Academy was not an easy ride, due to the scar and lack of pigmentation in his left eye, people would give him suspicious looks, and many were jealous of the Knight Commander being a surrogate father to him, making Arne somewhat of an outcast.

Despite his experiences, due to the Knight Commander's tutelage, he has a strong sense of justice, and has since made peace with his harrowing experience, but still vows to bring the assailants to justice, if they haven't been already.

Upon his graduation, he received Scout as his Loftwing, a bird with beautiful blue and green plumage, and the two share a deep bond. He trusts Scout with his life, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw his surrogate father, the Knight Commander beaming with pride.

After his graduation, as he served his duties as a knight, he still was looking for the assailants, and happened upon them on a remote island, and personally brought them to justice. No one knows what he did, but such assaults on families never happened again, and the group was never heard from again.

As he grew older, he eventually married a beautiful, but fiery redhead named Astrid, and had two beautiful children.

When he and his family learned of the Surface, they made the necessary preparations to move down to the surface to make a new life, and finally satiate his wanderlust and curiosity.
