I'd be cool with that if this was not contested from some bits in the CS:

"As a castle guard, he had little else to do but stand about being bored and angry. Occassionally, he was called in to investigate crimes and settle disputes,"

@Gowi

Let me reiterate, I have not yet accepted the character. I'm waiting for Sombrero to finish the second character before I pass any judgement.

The Legend of Zelda: Fragments of Hope

another one says he wants a mask "For his kid" but stands there for days on end wearing it just because?

@Sombrero

Oh, you mean the guy who is now one of the leaders of the Resistance and is on a revenge quest to avenge his now-dead son? That guy?

The Legend of Zelda: Fragments of Hope

I feel the need to point out that I haven't actually accepted Daurin yet. I'm kind of waiting for the second character before I make that call.

And @Zeroth is absolutely correct, there is a significant difference between Guards and Knights. They both do soldiering, but the difference between them would be like the difference between Cops and SWAT, or Sailors and Navy Seals. One is clearly considered the more elite of the two forces, and probably better trained and paid more handsomely.

And @Gowi, it's entirely possible for Castle Guards and City Guards to be two entirely different divisions. Castle Guards are obviously more trustworthy, hence why they're allowed in and around the Castle, while City Guards stick to patrolling the streets and catching criminals. The difference between them could be as significant as the difference between the Police and Secret Service.

And finally, yes, there is a noticeable trend for having Courage Fragments, but honestly, I was fully expecting that to be case, Courageous heroes tend to be more memorable than Wise ones. Not that I actually agree with that notion, but I can see how others might come to that conclusion when making characters. Oh and yes, I have a rather dastardly plan for what I will do with Fragments that the PC's don't possess. Won't spoil it, obviously, but I will say you guys are in for a tough campaign. In fact, let me just warn you now, I don't plan to pull my punches in terms of controlling the villains, they will be smart, they will be planning, and if you take a wrong step you could very easily end up in a bad place, or even with a dead character.

One more thing, I've found a Co-GM. He hasn't popped into the OOC yet but he's working on a character.

@Double

Gotta a few background ideas, but need to know, do you think of Gannondorf as the type to take prisoners, or more the kill shortly after interrogation type. Trying to decide between hiding in plain sight, escaped prisoner, or recently returning after being shipwrecked.

Apologies for badgering you with questions.

@The Fox Without

Depends on the threat level, really. That, and how useful they might be to him in the future. He killed Impa and Darunia because of their prior reputations for being skilled warriors and capable fighters (their loyalty to Hyrule couldn't be broken either). He turned Nabooru back into the Iron Knuckle because he figured having a big iron tank for a general would be useful, that and her history for being under his control made it feasible enough to go through with. He kept Saria and Ruto alive, because, honestly, they aren't fighters in the slightest. They have Sage powers, sure, but the game shows that both of them are pretty useless in a fight, so Ganondorf didn't see any reason to kill them straight away.

The Legend of Zelda: Fragments of Hope

Wait, so, it's never explained in the games as far as I'm aware: Is Termina part of Hyrule? Or is it just adjacent to Hyrule? Does it even exist? Or is it a product of Skull Kid or Link's imagination?

Basically, where are most of the Dekus concentrated? Cuz I have no idea where the Deku Monarchy would be located.

@Kafka Komedy

Termina is, as far as I can tell, a parallel dimension of sorts. That's the only way in-universe I can think of to explain why many NPC's and characters from OoT have dopplegangers in Majora's Mask. Plus, Majora's Mask falls under the Child Link Timeline, which is not at all the timeline we're following for this game.

As for the Dekus... I assume they come mostly from Kokiri Forest, perhaps they have some kind of hidden palace somewhere in the Lost Woods.

I mean making a Sheikah is pretty straightforward, just make a ninja.

@Gowi

True, though they aren't limited to just being like Ninja though. The Sheikah I plan to portray will not be strangers to planting explosives and sniping with crossbows, essentially adapting their way of fighting to suit the situation like most guerilla forces realistically do.
