Destiny
A Legend of Zelda RPG
Created by Nabooru23 with help from kalad1, boss and dungeon ideas by Krystalline Kabutops
Sorry for the delay everyone!
After the Hero of Time defeated the Evil King Ganondorf, the three Golden Goddesses of Hyrule – Din, Goddess of Power, Nayru, Goddess of Wisdom, and Farore, Goddess of Courage – wanted to be sure that Hyrule would be safe from any future attack. So, they ripped open a hole in the universe and sent the power of the eight Ruling Elements – Light, Forest, Fire, Water, Spirit, Shadow, Wind, and Earth – to various points in the history of our world, to lie dormant until such a time when heroes were needed. The power was given to eight newborn babies, in the form of birthmarks shaped like the symbol for each element. Through the generations, the power would pass down the line (maternally so it wouldn't run rampant), untapped and unknown to those who carried it on.
And Hyrule did remain at peace for many years. The landscape changed somewhat, but for the most part stayed the same. New races emerged as others dwindled in number. Monsters continued to roam the land but not nearly in the numbers they did during the Evil King's reign. The many races of Hyrule lived in relative tranquility wit few quarrels. Time past, kings rose and fell, and the Legend of Link was passed on through the generations. Justice was kept and peace was all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You, on the other hand, are starved for excitement. Your world is that of an average adolescent who can't stand the boundaries of everyday life. You may be a young peasant longing for the adventures of knighthood, or maybe you're a modern-day teenager who would give anything to get our of your boring life of school and limitations. Whatever or whoever you are, you want something more.
Now you get your chance. It seems when the Goddesses tore open the portal between worlds, a small part of Ganon's spirit escaped through from the Sacred Realm and also manifested itself in a small child. This child became ruinous, vile, and destructive due to the spirit residing within him. He became Ganondorf, in a sense, biding his time until he could return to Hyrule. And, in the midst of this blind peace, his time has come.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your time, it seems, has come as well. You're having a crummy day, unusual or not, and when you go to sleep at night you do not wake up in the same place. Where you are now is totally different, a fact that may or may not be a good thing.

My Characters:
Heroine of Water
~Name: Andrea DeSanne, also called Arnen (because I felt like it, ok?!)
~Age: 17
~Gender: Female
~Time Period: France, late 18th century
~Looks 1: She is tall and kind of pretty, with an athletic build and naturally semi-tanned skin. She has raven-black hair that falls to just below her shoulders and is kind of wavy at the bangs. A lock or two fall in her face. She wears a black frock coat with blue and silver trim, a white lace shirt, black knee-length breeches, white silk stockings, and black suede boots. Her hair is tied back by a blue ribbon, and her birthmark is on the back of her left hand.
~Looks 2: She still has the same basic body shape. Her skin is now gleaming turquoise-white scales, with the tips of her fins fading to blue and then black. Said fins are long and slender – in fact, her entire body is more streamlined. Her hands and feet are webbed. Her eyes are now dark blue with white pupils. She wears a tight black sleeveless top and shorts, leaving her midriff bare. Her birthmark is now on her left arm fin.
~Personality: She's a strong, willful young woman, passionate about everything she enjoys and adamant with her hate. She won't take any nonsense about being weak, and despises the prospect of being a boring housewife. She has an incredible sense of adventure as well as of humor.
~Element: Water
~Weapon: A streamlined halberd with several holes to allow waterflow so it can be carried while swimming.
~Shield: A sleek silver shield fit to her right forearm, with a slit for her fin and aquadynamic (I'm making up a word, sue me) plates on either side.
~Instrument: A flute made of fish bone.
~Items: Her pack is a waterproof fish-scale pouch with a rope strap slung across her shoulder. It contains some rope, a small knife (dull; for cutting said rope), several bottles of water, some food, some parchment, a fish skull filled with ink, and a seagull-feather quill pen.
~Spells:
-Spout: Shoots a powerful stream of water from the palm, fingertip, or forehead.
-Impale: Forms a spike of ice from a surface (floor, ceiling, wall, etc.)
~Ability: She can jump high and pull off acrobatic stunts.
~Rage: She turns blue with the tips of her fins fading to green and then white, her eyes go totally white, and all the water in the area is gathered to her. She gets much more powerful.
~Familiar: Glace, a female White Wolfos.
~Strengths: Pretty fast runner, very intelligent, nimble hands.
~Weaknesses: Can't lift heavy objects, sensitive to temperatures, not good at talking with people she doesn't know very well.
~History: She fled from her home upon being engaged to a man twice her age, for his money. She disguised herself as a boy in hopes of escaping the search party her parents sent out.
~Relations: Friends with Cye (eventually XP); although initially a bit freaked out by him, cares for Frosty and loves him like a pet she could never have before.
~Other: *sends other to its watery grave* She's left-handed. Meh.
Evil Dead Guy
~Name: Seyelin
~Age: Over 200, but looks 16.
~Gender: Male
~Race: Terminian
~Alignment: Evil Rogue (for now...)
~Looks: Medium height and weight with deathly pale skin and a somewhat gaunt face. His shoulder-length hair is a gleaming silver-white, his eyes a cold, icy blue. He does not give off the normal appearance of breathing and so looks like a statue when he sits still for periods of time. He wears a plain black wool shirt, a long overcoat of brown leather, grey pants, and Dodongo-hide boots and gauntlets (brown). He also wears a long black scarf to conceal the deathly visage of his face.
~Personality: Seyelin is a spiteful, hate-filled being, in contempt with those around him who are truly living. He rarely shows signs of emotion and is often lost in thought. He utterly lacks fear, but for the light of day which harms him, and deep water which he died in. Even then it is not normal fear, more a feeling of repulsion. He resents authority but will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even if it means slitting a few throats along the way. He literally has ice water in his veins.
~Weapon(s): Double-helixed sword with one black blade and one white blade called Soulcutter, a mythril chain that sprouts spikes and can change length, gauntlets have spiked knuckles.
~Armor: A pair of Dodongo-hide (brown) spiked gauntlets, and wears a chestplate of cold steel under his jacket (over his shirt).
~Attacks:
-Flight: Not really an attack, but felt it should go here.
-Freeze: He can freeze things by touch.
-Crucify: Chains up enemy's arms and legs in a cross shape, then runs them through.
~Strengths: His body gives off no heat, very shallow wounds won't bleed and heal a bit faster than normal, cunning and fast.
~Weaknesses: Sunlight weakens him and hurts him even indirectly, has a fear of deep water.
~History: Over two centuries ago, Seyelin lived in the village on Snowhead Mountain in Termina. One night he snuck out in secret to visit an ill Goron friend of his. However, winter was nearing an early end, and the ice around the Twin Isles was wearing thin. Hoping to get to his ailing friend sooner, Seyelin cut across, taking his chances on the thin ice. But, as soon as he set foot on it, it cracked and gave beneath him, and he fell in. The top of Snowhead Peak was the last sight he beheld with living eyes.
His spirit, unable to leave, unaccepting of his fate, lingered in the corpse for more than two hundred years. Then, around the time Ganondorf sought his return to Hyrule, Seyelin began to feel actual cold in his limbs. He could move his fingers. Eventually, he opened his eyes to his icy prison, and found he could cause the ice to crack by the mere will to do so. Slowly, he made his way to the surface, into the cold night air. He made his way to the village. Time had passed. His friends and family had long passed away. Paralyzed by shock and grief, he began hearing a voice, telling him to forget; that if he forgot about it, it would all be better. So he shoved the memories to the back of his mind, and it didn't hurt as much. The voice had helped him. And now it was telling him to cross into Hyrule, that if he did he could be restored to his own time. So he set out...
~Relations: CLOSED.
~Other: And alas, the other shall be submitted to by fate as well... *freezes other*
Also, I will occasionally post in a 3rd-person omniscient form, like below.
In the land of Hyrule, a familiar evil has begun to resurface. The Goddesses had been prepared for such a travesty, but nothing of this magnitude. Darkness is now beginning to spread across the land, mostly unknown by the public, at least for the moment.
The wakening cry calls down through the ages of Earth, our world, stirring the dormant power that lies within eight humans of special destiny...
......Are they ready?
~`~`Andrea DeSanne, aka "Arnen" – Paris 1778`~`~
I winced as the sharp sting of the switch lashed across the back of my left hand, bruising the birthmark that was there. I glared wrathfully at the parchment before me, not daring to shift my gaze to my instructor lest my torture be multiplied. I grudgingly transferred the quill to my right hand, which was always stiffer and more awkward to write with. The corset strapped about my waist squeezed even tighter as I heaved a deep sigh.
"Why can I not write with my left hand?" I asked darkly.
"Because," the instructor said sternly, "the left hand is the Devil's hand."
"Then the Devil's way is easier."
"Ah, all the more reason to resist it. God is trying you so you may overcome."
I sighed. I knew full well that the man did not really believe in God or the Devil, so I set those ridiculous notions aside. I attempted shakily to write my name yet again, and my hand was lashed again, this time for untidiness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After my torturous lessons were through, I wandered to the stables to meet my only friend, the stable boy Henri. It was he who was my sole consol, the only person I could relate to in the strict world in which I lived.
"My parents say I am lucky, being a girl, to learn even to write my own name and a few prayers." I was wringing my hands together; the birthmark was so bruised it seemed to pulsate blue. While he turned his head and faced the other way, I removed the restricting corset and tossed it onto a stinking heap of horse manure.
"Well, in any case," Henri said, " I took the money you gave me and bought what you asked for. Although I wonder, why would you want boy's clothes?" I could almost see the befuddled look on his face and I smiled.
"I'm leaving here, for good," I explained. "I'm going to disguise myself as a young man and... Well, we'll just see what happens." I heard Henri sigh. I understood his concern; I was always so quixotic, coming up with such harebrained schemes. I'd heard it all before. "It'll work, I'm sure it will. Don't worry on my account." I commenced to strip off the rest of my hot, uncomfortable clothes, and wrapped my chest in some strips of linen that I had brought from the house. "Look, there's no way in Hell I'm going to let myself be married off to some old baron for his money. Now give me those clothes." Henri covered his eyes with his hand and turned, blushing, to hand me the black frock coat, lace shirt, breeches, boots and stockings I had told him to buy for my masquerade. "Thank you for aiding me with this."
I put on the clothes, making sure my breasts didn't stick out too much. I went to a dirtied mirror that was propped up against a stall and gazed at my reflection. I looked the part of a smallish young man as I tied my hair back with a blue silk ribbon. The horse in its stall, one of my favorite white mares, whinnied as if in approval as I crossed my arms and steadied my jaw, trying to look a bit more masculine.
"Now you can look," I called over my shoulder to Henri. I saw him walk over reflected in the mirror, and he stood by my side. He blushed. I could see him looking at my legs through the white silk stockings. I laughed inwardly.
"With your intellect you will surely make something great of yourself," he said shyly.
"And wherever I end up, I will come back for you and get you out of this horrid place." I wandered over to my mare, already saddled, opened her stall door, and swung up onto her back. I walked her out of her stall, starting to get a bit sad. Henri grinned encouragingly, but I could see sadness behind his eyes as well. "Au revoir," I said softly as I lightly kicked my mare into a trot, then a gallop out of the stable.
And finally, I was free! I galloped my horse over to the Pont Neuf and stopped in the middle of it, off to the side out of the way of most traffic. I looked out over the Seine, and even if the river wasn't clean, even if the air smelled of the dead and of the unclean, I was still finally free.
As I sat there taking in Paris really for the first time, though I had lived there all my life, I suddenly heard something come up behind me. I heard something connect with my horse's flank, and with a jolt I felt her buck, and as I was pitched over the bridge, I felt as though everything about me had slowed down. I was going down towards the river, and I was likely going to be killed from the impact, or drown, or hit a rock or something. I had just begun to experience true life and now it was being taken from me. I tensed for the splash, I prepared to hit the water and feel my bones break from the impact, but I didn't. From behind tightly-closed eyelids it seemed there was a blue light all around me, and as I realized I was not going to hit the water, that maybe this whole day had been a dream and I was going to wake up, the blue faded to a deep gold. I faintly felt my left hand itching in the most peculiar way as the gold faded to black, and I felt the air around me, and I kept thinking It was a dream, I have failed, and now I am safe in my bed.
OOC: I'll post for Seyelin later. Ok, everyone, have fun!
