Hmm, I wonder if we didn't scare everyone off with our banter in this thread... I know I get a little intimidate when I see that a recruitment already has more than a page or two of posts... Maybe update the title? Anyway, going to work on my character sheets for a bit.

I might copy and organize the information into a new recruitment thread just to avoid another flood of chatter like that.  I don't mind discussion by any means, but you might have a point Peanuts.

I think just adding a "Still Recruiting", or "Looking for More" to the title of this one should be fine :)

Still, let's at least try to keep idle banter to a minimum going forward.

I'd considered joining this, but my posting speed is exceptionally slow right now, and I'd only really want to play FemGanon.

Metraxa

So, uh, dumb question. How long has it been since the plot of BotW/Queen Ganon returned and getting off/resurrected again? I think I missed it in the OP, or at the very least I can't find any mention of it

Vergil1989

Two hundred years since BOTW.  After that, she was born the first time about forty two years ago, lived for twenty one years, died, and was reborn yet again, to our time now.  Twenty one years old Ganondorva is.  Hope that helps.  :D

Metraxa

Right, so I've got a work in progress. Most of the stuff is done though, aside from related NPCs, a flaw/ability, and the O/O stuff which I always have trouble with anyways. I'll probably finish it up when I've had a chance to think on the rest, but I wanted to show what I've been going with so far, for anyone else planning stuff

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide
[Floatright][/float]

Player Name: Metraxa

Character Name: Aroll Vexltran

Age: 34

Species: Hylian

Sexual Orientation & Status: Straight/Non-Virgin/Single

Job: Aristocrat/Noble

Personality: Aroll could be seen as a generally friendly person, a cordial and respectful exterior which hides a calculating mind beneath it. While holding a preference to not get his hands dirty, he nonetheless looks out for his own best interests as a priority. To those who hold his respect he is a loyal follower, even if he may still have ambitions of advancement to gain a position he believes that he deserves. To those who do not, well, he has no problem with arranging for humiliation or a dagger, whatever he needs to do to get what he wants Holds an interest in Pre-Calamity history and artifacts, both out of a personal curiosity and professional interest.

Also enjoys horse riding, painting, and watching sunsets.

Appearance:

Further Pictures

History: The son of a nobleman whose family had taken up as position at the Hylian court following the resumption of monarchical authority, Aroll was born into a period of what could be lightly described as turmoil. The conspiracy that had raged within the Hylian Kingdom, the assassinations, the political repression, the murders, it had built up an air of fear as the Kingdom tried to find stability and some sense of certainty. It had been some time since Calamity Ganon had been defeated for good, yet it seemed like everything that had been built might slip away again.

That was the era he grew up in, and it shaped him. His father passed on when he was a teen, the result of an unfortunate attack in the countryside. Nonetheless Aroll stepped forward to fill his shoes, integrating himself at court and earning favors, building loyalty for his family and estate. While hardly the richest noble, he was able to parlay into some significant wealth, especially as the Regency ended and the new Zelda stepped up to the throne.

The stories, the memories of what had happened stuck with him though, providing a cautionary tale as well as a tempting possibility. If someone like the great Zelda, or even the Hero Link could be brought down, not just by random monsters but by their own people, then who was to say that they were committed to the throne of Hyrule by right? Even if there was opposition to someone else sitting on the throne, there was plenty of room behind it. And with the right ambition, well....

So he began to scheme and plan, building ties and connections that could be valuable. And all the while, he waited for the right opportunity to use them. When it came he would be ready, and then they'd see just what shape destiny took.

Alignment: Neutral Lawful, or something

Abilities:

  • Espionage - More in the vein of courtly intrigue, Aroll is skilled in the finer points of espionage. Knowing who to talk to, the words to pass along to gain information or let slip disinformation, finding the right people to bribe to accomplish a task that needs done such as smuggling, intimidation, or even murder, that sort of thing
  • Diplomacy and Etiquette - About what it sounds like. When treating with a royal court, one must know all the proper ways to carry oneself, to address other nobles and royals in the proper way that does not cause a scandal, and to earn favor with the people who have the real influence. Years of having to act in this manner, in addition to training, have allowed Aroll to reach a point where he's pretty good at this.
  • Swordplay - While hardly an expert to the level of, say, Link or the Royal Guard, Aroll nonetheless has some experience in the usage of a blade to defend himself, or in more formal combat situations. It can come in handy, and one cannot be too careful even as peace returns to the realm.
  • Archeology - Part hobby, part opportunism, Aroll has built up a decent knowledge of od technology through the recovery and acquisition of Sheikah relics, as well as analysis of ancient ruins and such. While dubiously valuable at the moment, one never knows when this sort of thing could come in handy. It also satisfies his personal interests
  • Ability 5 - Explanation

Flaws:

  • Hubris - With the potential to run into a 'big pond small fish' type situation, and not exactly playing along with the flow of Destiny or what have you, it can be much too easy for Aroll to signs checks he can't cash, or get in over his head deeper than he expects
  • Secluded - In spite of his noble upbringing, Aroll is not as experienced when it comes to worldly matters. He may have an intellectual knowledge but he has little experience dealing with people from beyond Hyrule. This affects the opinions that he makes of them, as well as his interactions with them. It also makes him less effective at cutting deals to further his agenda abroad

Character Relationships:
Associated NPC's:

  • Nazal Ertina - One of Aroll's contacts who specializes in the procurement of artifacts from across Hylia and other countries.
    Thiri Azarc - Aroll's personal secretary, who keeps his schedule, writes notes, arranges meetings on the downlow, that sort of thing.
    Lita Valarai - An old family friend who had served in the court before Aroll did, he has been something of a mentor to Aroll in helping him get established in the court since taking his position.
    Norri Bonteri - The captain of the guards who work for Aroll, handling his security and on occasion his dirty work if he needs to resort to more forceful measures in courtly intrigue.

Character Ons: Light bondage,

Character Offs: Guro and excessive violence, vore,

Player O/Os: Link

Dark Plot Participation: Yes

He looks pretty good already Met, good job all told. :D  I already have the idea he gets it into his head to try and outmaneuver Ganondorva only to end up screwed and trapped under her boot as a result.  She does, after all, have two very capable witches on her side.  One never knows if they're being spied on through magical means lol.  That aside, take your time since everyone here is being a bit slow, but that's alright.  :D  I'd rather they take their time anyway and be certain than not.

Link: *glares at Aroll and make sure he knows her preference for keeping the master sword nice and razor sharp* ;)

He seems like quite the interesting one. Hopefully he proves smart enough to not give Link cause to liberate his hands or head from his person in his quest to climb the political ladder...not that Link exactly cares for who sits on the throne as long as Hyrule's people are treated well. >:)

Warrior of balance ftw! xD

Hey there I might be interested, I'm kinda picturing a female Zora character in my head.

One with an eyepatch perhaps? :p

Hmm, we'd just need a Rito then to finish representing the main four (Non-Hylian) races of BotW

I'll be working on this much more tomorrow as time and my muse permits, but I wanted you guys to both, get a good look at the general history as told by Ganondorva herself, as well as to know that THIS is still going to happen, one way or the other.  :P  I plan to redo the beginning post to reflect this, (or simply delete this one once I get a new one properly set up instead of half assing things as I have thus far), but either way, this is still happening.

ON THAT NOTE however, if any of you have ideas for anything, feel free to leave something either here in detail, if you please, or in my PM box.  See ya!

I'd love to try a Zelda RP!

Peanuts mentioned y'all not having a Rito....I kinda like a bird girl concept but dunno if I want a beaked char (kinda limits what she can do with her mouth...)...would a crossbreed Rito/Hylian or /Kokiri be OK?

Or, some sort of kokiri or farm girl or royal handmaid kinda like Saria or Malon from the games

ff

Tentative avatar for a Hylian or Kokiri character

Zelda franchise but I don't think it's meant to be Zelda herself, what with the darker hair color

Been a fair while since I was on a forum RP, and am wondering on my current skills. May I ask, if this is still being done, what the general post size preferences are going to be? I adore world building, but haven't had the most chances to practice recently.
