IC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME: Link
CANON: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
SIGN: Strength
FACTION: Solvunn (Tertiary)

CHARACTER INFORMATION: Link is an amnesiac elf (Hylian) who woke up in his underoos in a shrine one day to the sound of a mysterious voice telling him that he is the Chosen Hero destined to save the world. He is every "hero" trope you can think of: courageous, kind, selfless, utterly dedicated to the cause. This iteration of Link is also a teenager learning how to have fun again after a 100 year nap! I.e., he is a reckless idiot who will eat almost anything, join any contest, and climb any height, all while trying not to think about the part where all his friends are dead and it's more or less his fault for flopping the Chosen Hero thing and dying first during the apocalypse. He's semi-feral in the literal sense, in that he has spent most of his new lifetime fighting for survival in the woods, but despite his weird hobo-ness he is a good kid.
CR YOU WANT:
- friends who can relate to the Chosen Hero thing
- friends who can't relate at all!
- other reckless and/or feral idiots to get up to no good with
- fellow swordspeople and soldiers/warriors to instantaneously earn his respect
- scholars and other frail folk to protect without being asked
- literal monsters to make him question what he knows about monsters
- people who are secretly monsters inside, to make him question what he knows about people
- royalty. he has a soft spot for royalty, and he'll be missing his Princess's ghostly disembodied voice in his head terribly
- he's also cool with people who aren't human-looking, UNLESS YOU ARE A MONSTER /brandishes sword
- shipping if you're into that, i'm trash

Also: Link travels often between the settlements of Solvunn, escorting travelers. You could handwave meeting him this way! Additionally I have an open catch-all log HERE, which includes a very open prompt into the Horizon, if you're recently arrived and still need to get your character there. :3 (Anyone is welcome to tag into it late, because time isn't real)

CR YOU DON'T WANT: I'm not interested in outright corruption arcs for him, so much as accidentally Doing the Wrong Thing and suffering the consequences. 👀 I'm also terrible at keeping up with smalltalk threads, so please lmk if you'd like to handwave basic introductions.
PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
I AM VERY into the idea of making Link actually examine the nature of morality, because his story is very black-and-white in terms of Good vs. Evil, and his destiny in Hyrule has been written down for him for a very long time. He's never had to question who he trusts. I'd love to see him befriend people who turn out to be not as "good" as he'd assumed they were (he's a dummy who's going to assume the people he meets are good unless they obviously are Not), and/or who end up on opposite sides of conflict.
