Player:
protect_vesterName: Ganondorf [As in The Wind Waker, he is also called simply Ganon for short.]
Game: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time; Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker
Age: At least hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years; he didn't care enough or have the means to keep track, but he is over 50 mentally.
Gender: male
Race: Gerudo
Family: He has had many female children, but all of his descendants were killed in the Great Flood. D:
Sexuality: straight
Appearance: He is an extremely tall older man with red hair and beard and dark greenish skin. He wears dark-colored robes and carries two swords with him at all times. He looks as he did in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
Skills: He is proficient in swordplay, home decorating, cooking, world domination, chess, strategy, dancing, manipulation, magic and the art of making tea, but is not terribly good at ruling kingdoms; he's a little too heavy-handed with freezing Zoras and setting dragons on Gorons. He tries, but he loses his temper too easily to be a good king, even to his own Gerudos.
History: He was born in the Gerudo Desert before the events of Ocarina of Time as the automatic king, being the only male in the whole place. He was raised by the Twinrova sisters and taught sorcery by them. Quickly becoming unsatisfied with his arid homeland, he fell in love with the fields of Hyrule to the east. This love turned to a consuming hatred for the goddesses who had given such a better land to the Hylians.
Using all his considerable deceit, he moved to Castle Hyrule and gained favor with the King of Hyrule. He learned of the Golden Power of Hyrule, the Triforce, and was again struck by how the goddesses had favored that land over his own. He became obsessed with the Triforce, an obsession that would stay with him for the rest of his life, one that will never be satisfied.
He took advantage of the child Hero of Time and the Princess Zelda (after his brilliant ideas of poisoning the Deku Tree, etc., didn't work) to gain entrance to the Sacred Realm, bent on using the Triforce to rectify this inequality and help his people. At this point, however, it was much less about his people, who were disapproving of how fixated he was on Hyrule, and and more about satiating his desire for control over others.
Unfortunately, when he touched the Triforce, it split into three pieces, the only one staying with him the Triforce of Power, the one he considered the most powerful. This piece of the Triforce influenced him negatively, mentally unbalancing him, but also making him immortal as long as he carried it.
Seven years later, the Hero of Time defeated him, trapping him in the Sacred Realm. A great deal of time passed before he managed to escape again, into the time of Daphnes Nohansen III, King of Hyrule. Ganondorf used the powers of the Triforce to take over the land again, and again ruled Hyrule without kindness. Daphnes Hyrule, seeing that a Hero was not forthcoming, had the sages pray for the destruction of Hyrule rather than let Ganondorf continue to rule.
The goddesses answered the sages' prayers and heartlessly poured down a flood upon Hyrule, killing all of the people who had not been living at the tops of the mountains, including all of Ganondorf's descendants. The only reason he survived was through the Triforce of Power.
Ganondorf searched for hundreds of years for a way to restore Hyrule, but could not find the Hero or the Princess. Finally, he did find them in the events of Wind Waker and reunited the Triforce in order to make his wish. Before he could wish for the return of his rule over the original Hyrule, Daphnes Hyrule touched the Triforce and wished for the oceans to reclaim it and for Ganondorf to remain under the sea.
Completely outraged by this, Ganondorf attacked the children to reclaim something of a victory over the situation. However, the Hero defeated him a second time, lodging the Master Sword in Ganondorf's forehead and turning him into stone. The oceans covered Hyrule and Ganondorf; the two children were saved to live the rest of their lives on the Great Sea.
Instead of dispersing after Daphnes' wish, however, the Triforce of Power returned to Ganondorf, who was still alive even though bound by the Master Sword in stone. He spent the next few hundred years as a statue under the ocean, going completely batty surrounded by marine animals and forced into thinking about his life.
Which is why, when he was suddenly transported to this empty version of his childhood home, he was of a mind more to enjoy his luck at first and not worry about world domination for the time being. Of course, he always has plans up his sleeves and may change his mind at any moment.
Other: He enjoys batik, arabesque, and dark colors in his home decorating. His favorite relations were always female children (his daughters, nieces, etc), and he dislikes males on general principle. He enjoys romance novels more than any other kind of book and tea in the evenings. He is of the mindset "ends justify the means" and is an unrepentant
moral nihilist. He is not a particular fan of deity, especially the ones willing to mass-murder his family just to spite him. He absolutely hates large bodies of water, but does everything he can not to show that he is made claustrophobic by it.
