Bio: Lydia was born to the daughter of the mayor of Ordon, her father a rancher. She had a brother who was three years older than him. Her childhood was spent ranching goats and learning about The Hero of Twilight, who enthralled her. From a young age, she showed to be a natural leader, often leading the other children around town on adventures and imaginary quests. She started to learn to shoot a bow and arrow when she was 6. Her father taught her the finer points and she took off, proving to be a natural. Her father was called to Hylian-Gerudo war, feeling it was his duty to Hyrule to join. Against the wishes of her mother, he marched off to war. At first he returned every 4 months, but as the war raged on, he was absent longer. Towards the end of the war, he was gone 9 months at a time. He returned for good when Lydia was 9. But Lydia, even at that young age, could tell he was a changed man. As the years went by, her brother began training to join the army. She would spar with him in the fields with the goats and while she never beat him, she got quite good herself.

Her brother left for the army when she was 13 and she soon learned after, he earned a place in the Queen's Personal guard. It was around this time her grandfather began to teach her about running the town. She was a quick learner and he knew she would end up mayor one day. When Lydia was 14, her father came home one night and told her and her mother that her brother had been killed protecting the Queen. She cried herself to sleep that night. She began training with weapons harder after that, becoming better each day. The Forest Guardian, Ordon was killed when she was 18, something her father was extremely opposed to. 2 years later her mother became fatally ill. Her father rode to Hyrule to beg the Queen to use a magical item to heal his wife. She refused. Lydia's mother died a week later. Some months later Lydia's grandfather stepped down as mayor and she was elected. Around this time, her Father told her that he was going on a trip and he didn't know when he'd be back. He left and she never saw him again. She ran Ordon well and made her grandfather proud. When she heard that Queen Zelda was calling for warriors, she knew the Queen might know where her father went, as they personally knew each other. She left her grandfather back in charge as she rode towards Hyrule Castle.

Secrets: Not yet, my dears....

Name: Kyros-Ganon
Age: 18
Species: Gerudo
Appearance:
Weapons and Equipment: Twin Butcher Knives with curved blades. The handles are wooden, able to attach together to make a boomerang.
Boomerang (See above)
Deku Nuts (Smoke Bombs)
Keaton Mask
Vihuela of Rest
Skills: -Skilled Dual-Wielder: Kyros is savvy and attuned to his go-to primary weapon choice. Although his two-sword style in unconventional and mostly self-made, Kyros can compensate for a lack of a shield with the ability for sword play from both hands at once.
-Competent Ranger: Kyros can hurl his boomerang with reliability in winds, in motion and even against moving targets.
-Expert Espionage: Growing up alone in the Desert force Kyros to be good at taking what he needed as it would never be given or gifted to him. In addition, he became good and concealing his identity, tracking, gathering information or rumours. He has a knack for setting and spotting traps.
-Skilled Vihuelist : Kyros is pretty savvy around a guitar, especially vihuelas. He will probably never play specifically for other people, but it's clear that he could make a decent living as a travelling bard in another lifetime.
-Parkour: Kyros nimbleness comes from his seemingly erratic movements and ability to bend and move his body on unusual pivots and in unusual manners.
Flaws:
-Self Centred: Kyros has never been given a good enough reason to commit to anyone but himself and because of that, he will put self-preservation before anything else.
-Distrusting: Kyros is quick to presume that everyone else in the world is out to get him and has a tendency to predict negative actions from other people by inciting his own first.
-Incomplete Fighting Style: While unorthodox, Kyros's fighting style is limited by it's lack of development, which traditional fighting styles use to wean out weaknesses and flaws.
-Short Tempered: Kyros refuses to let things go. It doesn't take much to incite a reaction from Kyros and he makes an effort to give more than he gets. To him, it makes him look weak if he doesn't react and stand his ground at all times.

Bio: Kyros's story began the day that an assassination attempt was made on the Queen of Hyrule. One of the Gerudo assassins, gravely injured, escaped capture as the scheme had clearly been counteracted. She made it out into the fields of Hyrule where in her seemingly dying moments she came across a mysterious travelling salesman. The salesman, having no apparent reaction to her wellbeing, offered to sell her anything she might desire. The woman, believing the man to be mocking her as she was about die, replied with the word "satisfaction, by my own hand, or the blood of my kinswomen, even if it kills me". The woman awoke, in a hideout at an uninhabited part of the Hyrule fields. The hideout was barren, but the assassin noticed that her wounds had been tended to, but she always had a baby bump and almost instantly went into labour. Being alone and confused, the assassin gave birth in great pain and distress. When she gave her final push and birthed her child, she took a glance at the baby and caught the freight of her life when she realised it was a boy.

As she lay in terror, blood and tears, the owner of the hideout entered abruptly, hearing the squeals of the newborn. He had no idea who the woman was, but happened to appear in time to hear her whisper "Kyros-Ganon" delusionally while drifting out of consciousness and dying. The owner of the hideout, a bandit and thief took the boy and disposed of the assassin's body, looking to make use of him. Not realising the importance of a boy in gerudo lineage, the bandit raised the boy, giving him the name Kyros, chalking the "ganon" suffix to the woman's insanity. The bandit raised the boy to be an outcast, limiting the likes of affection and love for loyalty and obedience. His ways were harsh and unrelenting, using punishments and abuse to keep Kyros in line. Kyros learned to hate the closest thing he had to a father figure and when he was twelve, Lay in bed whispering to himself begging to any god or other being that would listen to him for this to end. A man appeared to Kyros and the youngster couldn't tell if he was dreaming or not. The man explained that he was a salesman and said he could offer Kyros anything he wanted. Kyros wanted to know who he was. The salesman then sat down and informed Kryos of a story regarding meeting a wounded Gerudo female on th day an attempt was made by the gerudo on the Queen's life up to the birth of a child stolen by a bandit. The salesman went into impossible depth, such as explaining that her last words were Kyros-Ganon and the lineage of Gerudo men within the tribe. The way the mysterious salesman told the story suggested that woman was taken advantage of by the bandit leading to her pregnancy and eventually killed her when he took the child.

Kyros recognised that the man was speaking of him as the baby and realised that he was the Gerudo boy in question. Feeling confusing and uncharted emotions, Kryos became mad and rampant and murdered the bandit he believed to be his father. Kyros disappeared into the desert searching for truth, closure or a sense of belonging, but only found rejection, stigma and hatred even from what should have been the remnants of his own people. Hearing about the call for warriors, Kyros is enticed by the opportunity for diplomatic immunity and the opportunity to be a royal citizen of her majesty's high council, caring little for the task at hand, Kyros enrolls in Zelda's request as a mercenary looking for his rewards.

Name: Victor

Age: 49

Species: Hylian

Appearance:
Victor stands at five feet, nine inches. His face matches his age, with wrinkles and creases adorning his face. An ample white beard adorns his face. White, unkempt hair razes atop his head. Within his small eyes, there can be seen a dark brown hue. His eyebrows are thick and add a sharpness to his facial features, culminating into a serious, straightforward, if a little wizened expression.

Weapons and Equipment:
-Crossbow: A crossbow of simple construction. It is worn from its use on the battlefield, but still fires as true as the day it left the armory and into Victor’s hands.
-Knives: A set of 5 knives that Victor carries on his person. They each vary in design and construction, as they are also souvenirs of Victor’s travels.
-Doctor’s Bag: A bag containing basic tools necessary for speedy medical intervention.
-Leather Armor: A light set of sturdy armor that provides ample protection for those on the move.

Skills:
-Medical Knowledge: Years of training and study have given Victor the know-how to properly treat disease and maintain health. Combined with a lifestyle of travel, Victor is quite the field medic.
-Small Arms Proficiency: Though his training included many types of arms, Victor preferred to stay unencumbered to maintain speed and concentration on the battlefield, both as a combatant and medic. As a result, he has expertise in weapons no larger than a shortsword.
-Crossbow Marksman: Victor’s skills often meant that he was relegated to the rear of any formation. As a result, he honed his skills to operate optimally in his position and now possesses familiarity with crossbows.
-Perceptive: Being perceptive has been a critical skill for Victor, whether it be locating the source of a major hemorrhage in a soldier or spotting said soldier in the midst of battle. His senses have been trained in order to ensure not only his survival but those of the group as well.

Flaws:
-Aged: Experienced as Victor may be, his age is beginning to show. Victor is not as strong as he used to be, much less than that of many of Hyrule’s warriors.
-Aloof: If there’s one thing that Victor needs to work on, it’s his bedside manner. Victor is not the best conversationalist and does not often put the effort in closing the distance between him and the people around him.
-Love of Money: Being a part of a merchant caravan has instilled Victor with an inflated sense of the value of rupees. He is motivated by pay and looks to eke out the most rewards for his services.

Bio:
Victor was just a young kid when Hyrule was saved, but the daring exploits of the Hero of Twilight forever left a mark on Victor’s mind as he grew through childhood. Born and raised in Castle Town, Victor was constantly exposed to tales of adventure and people of diverse background. It was during this early period where Victor’s ambitions led him to be a fighter just like the Hero of Twilight. At the age of 21, he enlisted to become participate in the Hylian-Gerudo War. When Victor returned home, he was disillusioned, the stories of valor in battle replaced with the real experiences of war. Victor lamented the losses suffered and the actions taken by both sides of the war.

Wanting no further part in the Hylian army, but possessing few other skills than his battlefield experience, Victor became part of a travelling mercenary guild contracted to protect merchant shipments for the ever expanding Malo Mart. Victor also refused to just repeat his experience as a mere soldier on the battlefield; he began to study medicine, hoping that the knowledge would enrich him, maybe to help him take one further step to becoming the hero he dreamed of.

Victor would go on to travel across Hyrule and distant lands as soldier, studying physician, and mercenary for the coming decades. Over this period, Victor saved numerous people, from merchants to villager to travelers; but each casualty suffered took its toll on him. He began to tire of dreaming of heroes and glory, finding that rupees, green or silver, were becoming the only things worthwhile to come out of his travels. The disappearance of the Hero of Twilight could only cement the dissipation of romantic ambition.

Now that Queen Zelda is summoning heroes from all over, and rumors of a danger that threatens all of Hyrule looms over, Victor’s mercenary guild assigns him from the caravans of merchants back into the Hylian army. This time, Victor has more experience, more knowledge, more skills, and yet, mixed ambitions. He’s ready to seal his contract, but somehow he feels there’s something more, something familiar that’s driving him back into the battlefield.

Name: Seeker
Age: 19
Species: Shiekah
Appearance:
He stands roughly 5 feet 10 inches, and weighs around 160 pounds, most of it muscle. The eye symbol of the Shiekah tribe is sewn into the back of his shirt, as he proudly advertises his identity despite the penchant of his people to be secretive.

Weapons and Equipment: A pair of light steel vambraces attached to his gloves, and greaves with a similar design attached to a pair of shin-high leather boots. These mostly serve as protection; in terms of weaponry, Seeker uses his own body and a variety of martial arts skills.

Skills:
+Shadow Sage Fist - An ancient martial arts style dating back to a much earlier age, when the tribe of shadows still protected the royal family. Though some of it has been lost over the years, Seeker has made it his goal to continue developing it. His personal style is highly offensive in nature--likely because of his personality--as opposed to the more stealth based arts the Shiekah are known for. He prefers "bladed hand" and "open palm" style strikes, while his kicks focus on being fast and precise.

+Stealth and Mobility - Despite his preference, Seeker is still very capable of moving silently, swiftly, and with agility. Things like jumping from rooftops or climbing walls are familiar to him, and with his athletic ability he can do it at a speed and height most wouldn't be comfortable with. Most of the time, however, he prefers the direct approach.

+Truth Sense - Though it's certainly not 100% accurate, and sometimes may not even trigger, Seeker has a certain "sense" for things. He may react as if he has felt a rumbling in the earth when secrets are about, or if he squints just right a magical illusion might waver for a moment. He might even feel the "killing intent" of an enemy moments before they strike. However, this isn't a well practiced or developed skill, and in order for the predictions to do any good he has to be capable of reacting to them with his own natural speed and reflexes.

+Show Off - Seeker's excellent, paradoxically enough, at making a big show of himself. Whether it's a conversation to jump right into, a challenge to be overcome, or a lady to woo, he won't hesitate at all. Whether or not he's successful is up in the air, but you can bet he'll make a scene to remember.

Flaws:
-Complete Idiot - When it comes to fighting, or even some forms of social interaction, Seeker can do okay. Technology? Books? Math? Common Sense? To hell with that.

-Womanizer - Honestly that makes him sound a little worse than he is, but the fact of the matter is that Seeker will hit on practically any woman he comes across relentlessly and doesn't often take a hint. Even if he were able to land a date, he's still not very faithful and his eye wanders so much it's like he looks in two different directions at once.

-Blood Knight - Loves a good fight, too much to be healthy. It's less about hurting people and more about overcoming challenges and testing his skills. That's actually worse in a way because he will actively seek out and continuously pester his would-be opponents, even after they've already fought once. Yet if he doesn't deem someone as "strong," it's almost worse because he becomes a really condescending prick.

-Overconfident/Impulsive - It has to be said that he definitely has some skill, but nonetheless he'll brashly and boldly take risks without bothering to think about whether or not he can actually walk the talk.

Bio: Seeker keeps his past under wraps for the most part, but from what can be gathered it seems he's one of the few remaining Shiekah and was born in a hidden village (not the one near Kakariko). He grew up and was trained there, and this partially accounts for how ignorant he is of the outside world, as he only recently left. But already he's begun making a name for himself, scouring bars and other slummy hangouts for a good fight, and doing a little bit of mercenary work as well. He's always trying to score with one lady or another, and at first glance this just seems like the behavior of a chauvinistic pig. But the truth is, the Shiekah are truly dying out. Even when one includes those of mixed blood in the clan, Seeker is one of the last--possibly THE last--males of his tribe. This is the mission he was given by those left in his village: Continue the bloodline of the tribe, and restore them to their former glory. Revive their culture, by seeking the ancient artifacts of shadows and truth, and bring glory once more to the name of the Shiekah.

So he travels, and he fights, and he flirts. True to his name, he seeks, but this is one Shiekah who refuses to fade quietly into the darkness. When he heard that the Queen sought the help of would-be Heroes, he saw it as a perfect opportunity. If he could become a bodyguard for the Royal Family, just like his ancestors, perhaps it would be the next step he needed on the road to glory.

Maybe then the girls would pay attention to him.
