Legend of Zelda iCheck

@Zeroth The official Hyrule Historia has the Sacred Realm and Golden Land/Dark World as one and the same, so I see no reason why that wouldn't apply here. Since the Moblins had a very limited role in Ocarina of Time's story (seriously, they were reduced to a glorified one-off enemy in the Future Kokiri Forest) I plan to have them hail from the Dark World, Ganondorf managing to summon an army of them when he briefly entered the Sacred Realm at the start of the Seven Year War. As for the transformation aspect, well, I don't recall Link ever transforming while in the Sacred Realm. However, I'm willing to bet that was probably thanks to some kind of protection he was given by the Sages or the Triforce, especially since the Sacred Realm/Golden Land hadn't been fully corrupted yet.

@Ace of flames01 That's... not really possible. Reincarnation suggests that it's been years since the Hero's defeat, but it's only been one year. The Sages were just recently defeated, and some of them aren't even dead yet. So I'm gonna have to say no on the reincarnation. As for your second question, Hylians are certainly around still, I simply hadn't gotten around to working on them yet like the others.

@Jester Acharis I actually do intend to put a cap on the Shiekah race, since like you said, they tend to get overdone in these RP's. As my info for them said, only a small handful of them are around, and they pretty much all exclusively stick with their own kind in a tight-knit guerilla team that rarely cooperates with other groups. They help resistance forces, but they do it from the shadows, preferring not to intermingle when they can help it. Gerudo on the other hand make up a surprising majority of the free people along with Hylians. Recall that unlike the Zora and Gorons, they actually did successfully defend themselves from Ganondorf's forces, plus the town/outpost of Oasis is in their desert.

@Jester Acharis@jumpadraw@Bai Suzhen

Here's what I've got so far:

Game/Map - The main Zelda game we'll be drawing from is Ocarina of Time, including Map layout. However, I will be altering it slightly to be upscaled, having more of a population of people living in it than what the game shows. Ganondorf's initial takeover of Hyrule has come to be called the Seven Year War. His latest campaign began one year after he defeated Link, Zelda, and the Sages. After the Massacre, Kakariko Village is little more than a ghost town now, literally. There are reports of vengeful spirits haunting the grounds of the Massacre and the Graveyard just beyond it, attacking anyone foolish enough to enter the town, no matter which side of the conflict they are on.

Races

Kokiri - They are still alive, more or less, but enslaved. Saria was one of the Sages unlucky enough to be captured by Ganondorf. Through her he has assumed control over the forest region, forcing the Kokiri to cut down sections of the Lost Woods to provide his war machine with lumber.

Gorons - A large of number of them were devoured by Volvagia before the Hero defeated him. What was left of them tried to help defend Kakariko Village from Ganondorf's attack, but they were soundly crushed. Rather than kill them, Ganondorf enslaved them, sending them back into the depths of Death Mountain to mine it for stone and ores. As for Darunia, he was slain by Ganondorf personally at the Kakariko Massacre. Those few Gorons who managed to escape from the Massacre are in hiding, living as refugees in the desert outpost called Oasis.

Zora - Long before the events of the Seven Year War, the Zora tribe was torn apart by a civil war. The events of the war are unclear, but it ended with the tribe dividing into two separate factions, the River Tribe and Lake Tribe. The Lake Tribe sent the River Tribe in exile, effectively forcing them out of Hyrule with the authority of their alliance with the King. However, one year after the Hero's defeat, the River Tribe suddenly returned. They discovered the state of ruin Ganondorf left the Lake Tribe in and returned to take advantage of it. Zora Hall is now ruled by the River Zora, who have allied themselves with Ganondorf. As for the Lake Tribe, King Zora was captured and executed by the River Tribe, while Ganondorf captured and imprisoned Princess Ruto within the Water Temple. The rest of the surviving Lake Tribe mostly live in hiding, many of them in Oasis.

Deku - Of the various tribes, the Deku are the most unaffected by the wars. A clever people, the Deku Scrubs knew better than to openly oppose Ganondorf, especially after the Seven Year War. Instead they've effectively began profiting off of the war, selling wares to any side of the war who possess the Rupees to pay them. Not all Deku are so greedy or corrupt, though, pockets of Deku still loyal to Hyrule can be found running hidden shops and underground businesses that oppose Ganondorf, a few them can be found in Oasis.

Sheikah - The Sheikah were always a mysterious lot, but the one thing that never changed nor faltered was their loyalty to Hyrule's ruling family. What few of them that still remained in Kakariko Village were crushed and slain during the Massacre, Impa along with them. However, that did not spell the end for the shadow warriors, as a small few of them happened to be away on covert missions at the time of the Massacre. They still operate to this day, sowing whatever confusion and chaos they can among Ganondorf's ranks from the shadows. They regularly report to resistance forces operating out of Oasis.

Gerudo - Of all the tribes, one wouldn't think the Gerudo would oppose Ganondorf as strongly as they do, and yet here they are. No one's sure when exactly the bandits turned against their king, but most speculate it happened at some point during the Seven Year War, as that was when Nabooru rose up to become their leader and ultimately joined the Hero's quest to overthrow Ganondorf. After the Hero's defeat, Ganondorf sent his forces to wipe out the Gerudo as punishment for their treachery. The crafty bandits held strong, however, and managed to survive the onslaught. Nabooru, however, was not so fortunate. She confronted Ganondorf directly, and such was the first Sage to fall before him. Instead of killing her, Ganondorf placed her under his dark spell, transforming her once again into the mighty Iron Knuckle and set her forth to serve as one of his generals. The rest of the Gerudo were not so cruel as to leave the remainder of Hyrule to its fate, and instead offered a place to remain hidden from Ganondorf's wrath. Together with the other survivors, a hidden outpost was built far out in the Gerudo Desert, and it was appropriately named Oasis, as a way of labeling it as the safe haven it was meant to be.

Legend of Zelda iCheck

The actual title is still pending, and I don't think I have all the details ironed out yet, but here is a rundown of the game I'd like to attempt to run:

The plot will focus heavily on the Hero Defeated Timeline, namely the aftermath of Ganondorf's victory. Unlike the official timeline, however, there will be yet another divergence. The Sages were unable to assemble in time to seal Ganon away, and were defeated one after another by Evil King's army. Those who did not perish, were instead captured and forced to serve Ganon as enslaved generals. Ganon wasn't completely victorious, however, as the Triforces of Courage and Wisdom somehow forced themselves from his grasp, shattering in the process. Unable to enter the Sacred Realm, and the other two Triforces seemingly lost forever, Ganon could only focus on his conquest of Hyrule. But were the Triforces of Courage and Wisdom truly lost? Or were they, perhaps, simply waiting for some brave or worthy souls to claim them and become Hyrule's last hope?

So that's how it is. Princess Zelda and Link failed to defeat Ganon and were slain, the Sages either killed or enslaved, and the two other Triforces broken and scattered across what is left of Hyrule. This is where you come in. Perhaps you are a survivor of the Kakariko Massacre? A former guard for the King and Princess? Or perhaps just a wandering mercenary or traveler trying to find their place in the world? Whatever lot in life you've been handed, it changes drastically when you, by chance, happen upon a mysterious golden shard, a fragment of some relic you've never seen before. Unknown to you, what you hold in your hand is in fact one of the many scattered pieces of the Triforce of Courage and Triforce of Wisdom. Will you discover the secrets it holds? Reassemble the lost Triforces and restore hope for Hyrule? Or will Ganondorf's reign go unchallenged for years to come?

TMNT: the Awakening [iCheck]

That might be the case for this RP, but I can tell you that the one I made didn't center around the turtles at all. In fact two of them were dead, one was MIA, and the last one had turned into the villain and was meant to be the main antagonist for whatever OC's came into play. Pretty much the exact opposite of what KL is doing with this one.

TMNT: the Awakening [iCheck]

Yeah, I think I've told you about the one I tried to do a while back. It got about as far as this one, sadly. No love for the Turtles, I suppose.

So... no Casey? <_<

Domino Effect - Superhero RP

Name: Ishmael
Nickname/Alias: Leviathan, at least that's what the nice people call him. Everyone else usually defaults to Monster or Freak or some variant thereof.
Age: He honestly doesn't know. No one ever told him when he was born or even when his birthday is. His best guess is that he may still be in his twenties, though even that is a rough estimate at best.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Lawful/Chaotic Bias? C
Good/Evil Bias? G
Mutant/Human Bias? N

Appearance: What most see when they see Ishmael is a young man who keeps himself wrapped up in a trench coat, hat-and-scarf combination or some kind of hood, doing everything he can to stay covered up even in warm weather. Underneath all that is what most would describe as a some kind of a humanoid sea monster. With skin covered in scales of blue and green, fin-like extensions in place of what would normally be hair, sizable gills at the base of his neck and along the sides of where his ribs are, and membrane webbing between and his fingers and toes, Ishmael looks like he walked off the set of the Creature From the Black Lagoon. When he speaks his voice contains a gravelly, monstrous tone that he cannot hide or change, though he has at times managed to pass it off as the voice of a chain-smoker while on the phone. Even his eyes are inhuman, instead being dark and beady and obviously designed more for seeing underwater. If that weren't enough, he can grow to the size of a body-builder, his torso becoming much more puffed out and his arms and legs much more beefy. If he weren't a monster before, he certainly is at that point.

Personality: Ishmael is practically the embodiment of the strong, silent type. He hates talking, and when he does he keeps it short and to the point. If he is provoked into a more prominent speaking role, it's likely because someone angered him enough into making him explode into telling them off, with the unfortunate side effect of becoming much more frightening than he ever intends to. Because showing his feelings tends to make him look like more of a scary monster, Ishmael has adopted the practice of keeping those feelings bottled up, letting them out only when he knows he's alone or the people he's with know him better than to be frightened, though mostly it's the former scenario.

At times Ishmael comes across like he just hates everyone in general, though that could just be the nature of his mutation doing that. People who meet him, but don't get to know him, often swear up and down that just because Ishmael himself feels miserable that that means everyone else has to be miserable along with him. They are wrong, of course, as anyone who spends a significant amount of time around him will quickly realize. Unfortunately, his frightening appearance does him no favors when it comes to making friends, which essentially means that, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, Ishmael is just a bitter monster full of hate and contempt for those around him. No matter how far from the truth that sentiment actually is.

Back story: Unsure of when he was born, or even of his parentage, Ishmael was essentially the property of a circus for as long as he could remember. The Ocean Terror, or so the signs claimed he was. He was basically a sideshow freak. Though unlike all the others in the circus, who at least still looked human and could go out and interact with them normally, Ishmael was of course too scary to ever be let out of his confinement. Either he was in a cage of some kind, or kept in an aquarium tank. Either way, he was never allowed to go out, or even to speak to people. Behind the scenes, the ringmaster was quite the cruel man who demanded that his rules be followed or that there would be hell to pay. He liked targeting Ishmael with his abuse in particular, perhaps because he simply hated mutants, no one was ever really sure. But he barely fed Ishmael, believing that the hungrier he was, the more frightening he could be toward the audiences and costumers. After all, a ravenous monster was far easier to sell than a kind one. If he wasn't treating Ishmael with malnourishment, the ringmaster was subjecting Ishmael to other tortures, mainly to see just what kind of punishment the monster could and couldn't take, so that he could be advertised as "indestructible" and be able to prove it with performances.

This went on for quite a few years, mostly until Ishmael's late teens. On one particular day, Ishmael finally snapped. He was sick of his treatment and sick of the ringmaster getting away with all his abuses. With his anger, his body grew larger until he was able to break out of his chains and cage. He lashed out against the ringmaster, killing him. Still coming to terms with what he'd done, Ishmael ran. He ran away from the circus, simply fighting off everyone who tried to capture or restrain him. Thankfully, they were setup on a pier that day and Ishmael escaped to the sea. He's tried to keep himself hidden since then, only going out into public while hiding his appearance under heavy costume and usually running away again as soon anyone discovers him. Since he was never given a name, and the only bit of culture he was exposed to at the circus was listening to one of the clowns read Moby-Dick, he gave himself the name Ishmael. Of course, the media often referred to him as Leviathan, choosing to compare him to sea monsters from mythology. He's tried helping people, doing the whole hero thing, but it almost always blows up in his face somehow, so nowadays he just sticks to keeping to himself.

Ability: Ishmael is probably one of the few mutants in the world who actually physically mutated. He is essentially an amphibious humanoid fish person. Not only can he breathe in the water, but he can also withstand the immense pressure of swimming down to the ocean floor. He's tough, even outside the water, where his scaly skin is tough enough to be like armor, and Ishmael himself is strong enough to tear open a car and rip out the engine parts. The tips of his fingers and toes can rip and tear as if they were claws, and he appears to have some degree of a healing factor, as what few injuries that can be inflicted upon him are often healed right up within hours. His last ability, often tied directly to his anger and rage, is when he grows in size, essentially "hulking out" and temporarily becoming even stronger and tougher than he was previously. This can be a curse as much as a blessing, though, since hulking out like this often involves going into a blind rage that he can't always control. Being amphibious, Ishmael can't stay out of water for more than a couple of days at most before needing to submerge himself again to re-hydrate. Speaking of which, Ishmael can also be weakened by dehydration, especially when subjected to extreme heat. Extreme cold can also slow him down, this is all likely due to his amphibian nature.

Equipment: None

I get the Moby-Dick correction, but I'm not sure how the Good/Evil Bias counts as a mistake?

<Snipped quote by Double>

The star shard is well, a bit random. It teleports people when it wants to wherever it wants. Disney castle has plenty of Gummy Ships Max might "borrow" that would be more reliable, and less high-risk if he got caught with it. I dont require you to use the gummy ships, I just would rather leave the star shard decision to anybody who plays Mickey, if anybody wants to.

@Ryuzaki

Huh, you'd think a missing Gummi Ship would be lot more noticeable than a pocket-sized gem thing. But okay, I will of course defer to your say on the matter.
