Almost anyone who has seen a Hylian Shield wonders at the fourth, separate triangle below the Triforce. Is it merely a fluke? Simple adornment, perhaps? Nobody can be sure...

The truth is, that the three Goddesses – Din, of wind and power, Nayru, of water and wisdom, and Farore, of nature and courage – had a brother: Yvynn (is pronounced EE-vin), God of darkness and chaos. The Triforce, commonly depicted as three triangles forming a larger one, with an upside-down gap in the middle, was once a whole triangle, with each section taking on the hue of its maker’s power (red for Din on top, blue for Nayru on the bottom-left, green for Farore on the bottom-right, black for Yvynn at the center). However, the tale of the universe’s creation was twisted through Hylian legend...

Once the siblings had departed, Yvynn, seeing the divine peace created by his sisters, aspired to desecrate the world with shadows. Nayru, discovering this, warned her sisters of their brother’s plot. Together, the Goddesses sealed away their brother in the underworld, disuniting Yvynn’s section of the Triforce. The Triforce of Chaos shattered as it descended onto Hyrule, its twelve shards scattering across the land.

~‘’~‘’~‘’~‘’~‘’~

It is currently mid-June, in the reign of Their Majesties King Zechial III and Queen Lanaden. One of the king’s advisors has stumbled upon an ancient scroll containing the legend in full, from the sibling’s descension to the scattering of the shards of the Triforce of Chaos. Scrawled across the bottom of the scroll are words in ancient Hylian. When translated by a linguist, it reads:

“Seeketh thee the Chaos Shards, and all thine desires shall be fulfilled.”

The king, intrigued, has posted a flier in every inn, pub, and restaurant in Hyli, Kakariko, and Kildon, proclaiming the following:

Warriors wanted!

All who be stout of heart and pure of mind are summoned to the palace within the week. Your quest shall be discussed on Thursday the next.

His Royal Highness, King Zechial Hyrule III

At the same time, a large, black bird has been seen carrying letters off to certain people...

A few things before the form... This takes place 1000 years after OoT. The bird is how the Darks receive word of the Shards of Chaos. The Lights and Rogues find out from the flier. The Shards have power similar to the Triforce, where, when they are all found, the heart of the one who touches the whole piece is reflected upon the world (i.e., if an evil dude touches it, they will rule the world or have it destroyed or whatever, or if a good guy touches it, then there will be world peace and blah, blah, blah). The good guys must try and find it before the bad guys, and the bad guys try to get it for their own designs. You can find a shard anywhere, but PM me first with a short mini-dungeon to go through before you find the shard. Nine are available for finding wherever, but three are not. One will be at the very top of Death Mountain, and has been found already by my character, Zander. Another is at the bottom of Lake Lana, a lake found in the middle of the Kokiri Forest, named for Queen Lanaden. The third of these is found in the center of a whirlpool of sand, at the edge of the Haunted Wasteland.

There are new towns, too. The town of Hyli was built upon the ruins of the old Castle Town shortly after Ganondorf was sealed away in the Sacred Realm. Kildon was built a few decades later just north of Lon Lon Ranch, and is mostly a town of merchants.

~Name: Aleksander (prefers to be called Zander)
~Age: Unknown, but is in early 30's.
~Gender: M
~Race: Hylian
~Alignment: Dark
~Looks: Quite tall and thin, and wears all black. Black shirt under a black tunic, black pants, black Dodongo-skin boots, and a black cape. He also wears leather gauntlets that go halfway up his forearms and leave the backs of his hands bare. He has spiky red-blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, and a scar cuts down his right cheek. He wears a silver hoop earring in his left ear.
~Personality: Cold and heartless, and very good at getting what he wants. He often remains aloof, and can fake almost anything. He prefers to have minions do his work rather than get his hands dirty.
~Wish: To throw all of Hyrule into chaos, then rule it.
~Powers/Abilities: Very good at sleight-of-hand, and can be very persuasive. He can fly for some ways, but not very long distances. He can also see in the dark.
~Magic: Is a master at illusions and spectral (concealing, like with fog and stuff) magic. He also has dark magic, to some extent.
–Spells:
Conceal: He can magically veil himself/others from view. This can be dispelled via the Lens of Truth.
Guise: Can change the appearance of himself or others, voice included. Again, it can be dispelled with the Lens of Truth.
Fog: Creates a smokescreen of thick, black smoke.
Shadow: Can make a room or small area completely dark for some time.
Yami Ray: Fires a black-and-purple beam about the diameter of a quarter.
Darkness Nova: Creates a huge orb of dark energy, which is hurled at the opponent.
~Weapons: A broadsword with a dusk-black blade called Twilight, daggers in hilts at his waist and ankles, and a pair of Mithril chains kept in his pockets that grow spikes at his command.
~Armor: His gauntlets are enchanted to be harder than dragon scales, and he carries around a small obsidian pendant that wards off Light magic. If the pendant is even slightly cracked, or if it is stolen, the effect is negated.
~Allies: None. He's evil. Muhahaha!
~Rivals: Pretty much everybody who's not evil. Especially King Zechial. *grr*
~History: Zander was the advisor that discovered the legend of the Chaos Shards. Shortly afterwards, however, he was wrongly tried of bedding the Queen, and sentenced to death. While in the small, musty chamber, awaiting the executioner, he began to read a chant that gave to him stunning powers of illusion. The spell complete, he switched identities with the guard outside his door, escaping while the poor fool was the one to receive punishment. Zander now aspires to obtain the Chaos Shard and wreak revenge upon his former friend who had accused him of something he had not done.

He has sent out a bird to carry letters to all the Darks, summoning them to his citadel atop Death Mountain, where he found the first Chaos Shard.
~Other: Yo. Sup.

~Name: Serle
~Age: 368 (!!) (looks like a little kid)
~Gender: M
~Race: Deku
~Alignment: Rogue
~Looks: Identity is hidden by a long (to him, anyway o.O) dark green cloak. He resembles Deku Link, only the leaves that serve him as hair are red-brown, and his eyes glow bright green. Underneath the cloak, he wears naught but a loincloth XD
~Personality: Illusive, and it takes a lot to gain his trust. He is fast-talking, and uses it to his advantage. He's a big gambler, but often has trouble getting into the casinos because of his young appearance.
~Wish: To be un-cursed, and finally die after all those years... Yeah, pretty selfish, ain't he? XD
~Powers/Abilities: Well, obviously, he's immortal, if you haven't guessed (immortal as in he doesn't age; he CAN be killed!). He has the power to act really cute and get whatever he wants o.O

~Weapons: A pair of curved katanas with silver blades and stone hilts, a blowgun and poison darts, and a deck of cards that burst into flames when thrown. He also carries a pair of six-sided dice.
~Armor: He does that thing Deku Link does, where he crouches down and a wooden shield covers him.
~Allies: Is good friends with Heilaei (calls him Hei cuz his full name is too much of a mouthful)
~Rivals: Not really...
~History: He was once just an average Kokiri boy living in the forest that was his home, until one day he got lost in the Lost Woods. He stumbled upon to Boko Tree, archenemy of the Deku Tree. The ancient tree, outraged that a child of the forest had found his hollow, cursed Serle, making him live forever as a Deku boy.

Serle, devastated, left the forest. Unable to find anyone who would befriend a Deku for over three centuries, Serle had almost given up, until he met Hei on one of his travels.
~Other: Ooh...

~Name: Gonadon (or just Gona)
~Age: 9
~Gender: M
~Race: Gerudo
~Alignment: Light
~Looks: Short, even for a little kid, with messy red hair and very tanned skin. His eyes are a startling orange-red, and he has an orange gem planted into his forehead. He wears a plain, tattered tan tunic, white baggy pants, and sandals.
~Personality: Very shy, and prefers to let other people do the talking. He is a very brave kid, but not to the point of being reckless.
~Wish: To repent for his ancestor's sins, and bring peace and glory to Hyrule.
~Powers/Abilities: He is an expert thief and pickpocket, and can fly short distances.

~Armor: A small silver-and-gold shield emblazoned with teh Gerudo star-and-moon symbol.
~Allies: Lukaro
~Rivals: No...
~History: He is the only living descendant of Ganondorf. He was raised in the desert by his mother, until, when he was eight, she died in a sandstorm. Having learned of his family's history by his dying mother, he set out to correct the wrongs of the past. On the way, he ran into Lukaro, and they decided to join forces.
~Other: La...

Here's the starters for both alignments.

Light/Rogue Starter:

A lone man, clothed in the robe of the king's advisors [Zander], looked through the shelves and shelves of books that lined the library walls. His hand rested upon a scroll, tucked idly between a pair of leather-bound books. Curious, he gently pulled out the ancient script, and at first glance it seemed completely unreadable. Squinting, he recognized the strange runes as Ancient Hylian. He took the scroll to a linguist, who deciphered it.

It told of a time before time, when the Goddesses were creating Hyrule. It told of a brother to Din, Nayru, and Farore: Yvynn, God of Chaos. It told of the Triforce of Chaos, how it shattered into a dozen Shards that were strewn across Hyrule. There was something scribbled across the bottom, something that was not part of the original manuscript. It read,

“Seeketh thee the Chaos Shards, and all thine desires shall be fulfilled.”

The advisor was intrigued. He took the scroll to the king, who ordered fliers put out, requesting adventurers who could find the Shards of Chaos.

Warriors wanted!

All who be stout of heart and pure of mind are summoned to the palace within the week. Your quest shall be discussed on Thursday the next.

His Royal Highness, King Zechial Hyrule III

Dark Starter:

A lone figure, garbed in black [Zander again XD] stood atop a peak of Death Mountain. In his hand he held something gold, something that seemed to glitter with darkness. Cold, blue eyes were cast over the land below.

“So it begins...” came a barely-audible whisper as the figure watched people from various races heading towards Hyli. A lone crow squawked nearby before landing on his shoulder. The figure whispered something to the bird before holding up a small stack of letters. He gave the crow orders to send one each to people called Gel, Dark Sol, Segiro, Ojiri Kahri, and Flare and Glacier. The letter read:

“To Whom It May Concern:

Go to the tavern at Hyli. The rewards will be great. The rest will be explained there. Show up, or you will die. I know where to find you.”

I’ll post for my cards later.
