God's Shattering [Concluded]

Well, everyone can go home, we've made Awesomoman64's day. Mission accomplished.

God's Shattering [Concluded]

Considering what you guys have to go through, I'm almost glad Monkey is irrelevant to the plot. The only scene I can think of that I miss not being a part of would be..

Legend Relic: *Turn into a person* You need to bring me to plot important spot right now!

Monkey: Wish granted. *Grab Legend Relic, full strength form, launch Legend Relic at plot.*

"Er... Are you sure this is alright, I mean I'm older.."

"Nonsense, you are light as a light feather that other feathers carry! And you said time was of the essence, no?"

Veitaru and Jaege came bounding into the graveyard with a bouncy levity that completely defied the dreary and disheartening place. Well, Jaege came bounding, Veitaru clung to his back in a rather frightened/embarrassed piggy-back ride.

"Ah, see you were right, and there are lots of people in the graveyard! Living ones, and dead ones who are still making a good show of living. It is good to finally have proof that you are not going crazy without Dad around, yes?" Jaege raises a hand and turns to look at Veitaru, but...

"Hup.." She had slithered her way off his back and onto the ground, taking cover behind a post.

"Ah, kids these days, always with the pretending to be sneaky Sheikah. Still, I suppose I played the hide and seeks too. So! I should introduce myself, I am Jaege of the Lange family! Pleasure to meet you all." Jaege introduces himself to the group, completely ignoring the atmosphere, and presenting a hand for the shaking, if any so wished to oblige.

"Come on, introduce yourself to the nice people and ghosts, Vei." Jaege turns his head to yell in the general assumed direction of Vei.

"Veitaru. Pleasure." She peeks from around the corner of the post, sticking a tongue out and pulling wide the eyelids on one eye.

Vei is obviously not a Hylian, possessing the round ears, prominent nose, brown skin, amber eyes, and red hair of a Gerudo. Said hair is kept in a high positioned ponytail, barely reaching past her shoulders. She has bangs swept to each side of her face in front, not all of her hair gathered into said ponytail. However, her clothes can make her pass for a Hylain, given the fact that few would be low enough to see her face when she raises the hood of her black cloak, given that she is some 4'1". Underneath the cloak, she is wearing tight dark blue clothes, a wrapped bodysuit. Silent, nonrestrictive. When she wishes to pass unnoticed, she wears the cloak, when she wishes to pass unsensed, she takes it off.

Stealth Theme

.::ℙ𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪::.

In five words: Vengeance, Honorable, Sarcastic, Klepto, Daredevil.

Vengeance: "Eye for an eye? I'm taking the whole head!" Veitaru was a troublesome child, in more ways than just stealing. She's one to nurse a grudge and bring about "justice".

Honorable: "You try being mean with that dissappointed grandpa face looking at you." Veitaru would LOVE to go around stealing everything, just to prove she can. But her Dad would catch her, and Jaege would be SO dissapointed. In other words, they've rubbed off on her, and their expectations of her to be a good person have impacted her.

Sarcastic: "Gee, never heard that one before." Veitaru can and will sass off to anyone, even goddess sent messenger fairies.

Kelpto: "Missing this?" Veitaru takes after her blood well, and the thrill of the hunt and skill elates her spirit.

Daredevil: "I'll jump from a building, dodge through heavy machinery, and steal from a stalfos. But don't make me wait in the dark alone." Veitaru's primary weakness as a sneaky thief is her headstrong, energetic, flashy attitude for getting things done in a risky manner. A perfect theft is BORING. Waiting and patience she is not great at. And her fearlessness has a notable absence in the realm of the dark.

.::𝔹𝕒𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕠𝕣𝕪::.

Vei is an orphaned Gerudo Child, who was born in Hyrule proper. Her mother was prevented from returning to Gerudo Fortress when a particularly harsh winter set in. Being too pregnant to attempt a dangerous crossing, the mother gave birth in Hyrule. Her died before taking the girl to Gerudo Fortress, and thus the girl grew up in Kakariko, receiving only a name and her bloodline from her mother. Upon being old enough to toddle, she lived up to that bloodline and had the habit of stealing everything. At first, her attempts were cute, but as she got older she actually started getting good enough at it that, combined with the fact no like Gerudo, she nearly got kicked out of the orphanage several times while still rather young.

She frequently ran away, supporting herself as a petty thief, though never for long. One time, Vei had the good/bad fortune of trying to steal from, Ilam, one of the remaining Sheikah. That wasn't going to work. However, the child made a good enough shot at it that the Sheikah, being more politically minded than most, thought about the potential of raising the Gerudo child to be an infiltrator against her kin. And the fact that his own wife had been from the same orphanage so many years prior made him sympathetic. Ilam, being far more skilled than the child, was likely the only one properly capable of raising the child, and did a fairly good job of it, the child now having morals (With the help of Jaege and Momma as well). She'll still steal everything just to see if she can, but she'll give it back afterwards, because she wouldn't want to disappoint the man she now considers her Father. However, when the darkness crept into the land, Ilam was one of the first to attempt to stop it. No more was heard of him. Vei was left in the care of Mom and Jaege.

However, when the whispers grew in the night, and told her to come to the graveyard, she came, to find Ilam.

• Throwing (FS) (5)
  
  • "Catch." Vei practiced throwing stones as a child, and her caretaker gave her training in Deku Nuts and similar objects. If it's a small, thrown object, she's probably pretty accurate with it. This is not lobbing a bomb or boomerang though, too big.
• Cloak and Dagger (FS) (4)

.::𝔸𝕡𝕡𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕖::.

Jaege is 7'4" and built like a great white topped mountain. He is a wild haired man whose white mane shows his age, even if the rest of his physique does not. While he often wears a plain straw hat and white tunic to block the sun, he is definitely not afraid to take off his shirt. His face, though one might not notice it under the beard, wears the proud scars of many smiles and in very strong laugh lines.

.::𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕞𝕖 𝕊𝕠𝕟𝕘::.

Main Theme

.::ℙ𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪::.

In seven words: Gregarious, Fearless, Forgiving, Responsible, Loves a Challenge

Gregarious: "Put away that frown." Jaege is an outgoing man who loves to smile and loves to laugh, and wishes these things for all around him.

Fearless: "Haha, good one!" Jaege is not one to be intimidated, or daunted by any challenge.

Forgiving: "Admitting you are wrong is hard, so never make it harder! He is a man who forgives and asks for forgiveness easily. He is not one to let the sins of the father hang upon the child.

Responsible: "No reason to fear failure, only fear you let it be last thing you do." Jaege may not sweat the small details, but when the stakes are raised, he'll not budge.

Loves a Challenge: "Any labor can be made a game, if you set your heart to it." Always one to give it his best, Jaege is always down for a physical challenge. He not always so good at games of wit, but he will give it his best shot.

.::𝔹𝕒𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕠𝕣𝕪::.

Jaege was born the first son of a woodworker, by a few minutes. While both sons were taught the trade by Papa Lange, Jaege had his mind more focused on other matters, more interested in hauling the wood to the shop than the shopping itself. Physical, rambunctious, and larger than even his own large family, Jaege was quickly king of the hill in any contest of strength and wrestling, even over kids a few years older than him. And he was a jerk about it sometimes, but over time, learned the error of his ways.

His brother taking up the family trade, Jaege put his muscles to work, doing pretty much any hard labor around Kakariko but mining, being too large to fit in the mine, though he often worked with moving the rocks once they were out of the mine. Jaege was ultimately an unambitious man completely happy to work hard, make friends, and help others.

His younger sister got him involved in the orphanage in Kakariko, where playing with the children and helping out with the tasks there became his family. Jaege never sought out romance, and it never came for him, so he was never married. To the children, he was Uncle Jaege, and as time and the generations turned, he became Great Uncle Jaege, or Gruncle Jaege, friend to many.

Recently, one of those friends, Ilam, a Shiekah who had married one of the girls who grew up in the orphanage, entrusted him with looking after Veitaru, their adopted Gerudo child. Jaege is not one to turn down such a request from a friend. However, Ilam has not returned, and Veitaru has told Jaege of strange dreams she has been having. The request to venture to the graveyard does not seem too much trouble, and so Jaege has accompanied her to keep her out of any trouble she might turn up.

.::𝕊𝕜𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕤/𝕋𝕒𝕝𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕤::.

• Big, Strong, Tough (PS) (9)
  
  • "I am the strongest in Hylia! Save for Papa Lange, of course." Jaege is a HUGE man, with ample strength and muscle mass. Powerful and enduring, Jaege's claim might be quite reasonable if not for the existence of Gorons and Monsters.
• Wrestling (FS) (8)
  
  • "Those who need iron boots to wrestle Gorons not trying hard enough!" Whether it is the children at the orphanage, or the Gorons from the mountain, Jaege does not refuse a challenge. Jaege has great strength, but that is not all he has, he has a keen sense for balance, and knocking others off theirs. Hard knocks and butting heads do not distract him from keeping an eye on whose weight is where.
• Pure Soul (MS) (8)
  
  • "The heart is the strongest muscle!" Jaege is not a man who can be frightened. He is not a man you can tempt with money or power. If your spell can be broken by will, courage, and resistance to temptation, it will find no purchase on Jaege.
• Lifting (PS) (7)
  
  • "Brother, I most certainly do Lift!" Having spent a lifetime hauling, lifting, and doing various hard labor, Jaege knows how to wear a load for carrying, to spot where to shove to shift a boulder, and general good mechanical practical sense. The young ones always wear themselves out, relying on their youth and strength, but Jaege is a wise man who uses the age of wisdom along with strength that hasn't left him yet to achieve anything!
• Throwing (PS) (7)
  
  • "If you can still see what you threw, you did not throw it hard enough!" Jaege likes the old sport of "get a giant log, and heave it as far as you can, or a boulder, or generally anything heavy." And he's quite good at it. He's also pretty good with a skipped rock, having shown many a child how. However, this is more of a practical type throwing than a fighting type throwing, as he throws for orientation and distance, not accuracy and leading a target.
• Camping (SS) (5)
  
  • "Camp in a bad tent, wake up in bad shape." Long ago, Jaege was drafted into the forces of the Hylian Army with another land petty border squabble. He never did remember much of the fighty bits of training, because those lessons never got reinforced with actually fighting, but the other skills, like keeping your tent dry, lighting a fire, and other logistical trials of the common soldier were definitely practiced. Jaege still camps from time to time with the kids.
• Woodworking (PS) (4)
  
  • "A little patience and some scraps to wrap them together, and even the most battered sticks will hold." Though he never decided to take up the same profession as his brother Brunhold, Jaege helped out many times, and they've collaborated together. Though his brother is definitely the expert compared to Jaege, Jaege certainly isn't helpless at the task.

.::𝔾𝕠𝕒𝕝𝕤::.

Jaege wishes to make well on his promise to keep Veitaru safe, and find his good friend he made the promise to safe and sound. Jaege would not mind saving the world while he's at it, many of his favorite people live there!
