Character name: Link, Hero of Winds Series: Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - Video Game Timeline: Post Bellum's defeat, but prior to waking up on the Ghost Ship. Essentially, what Link will remember is the world fading to white, and upon opening his eyes to say goodbye to Ciela, finding himself in Vertiline. NOT AS PLANNED. Background: My pre-written history for Wind Waker can be found here, and the events of Phantom Hourglass can be found here. Personality: Link is often considered the classic “silent hero”, as he literally says nothing throughout the games even though the other character speak freely, except a small amount of questions and yes or no response options offered to the player (often depicted through nodding or shaking his head). Thus, one of the many ways of perceiving his character is that while Link isn’t mute (he speaks once in Wind Waker: a "come on!" response to call certain people/objects), he could simply prefer not

Link 2/ Idk manunamvirtusDecember 31 2010, 00:39:35 UTC
While Link still has a lot of the naïvety of a little kid, he is not nearly as innocent as he should be due to everything he's had to do during his journey: he's confronted horrible monsters and killed those monsters, he's been nearly killed himself, and he's had to deal with a great amount of abandonment. He was forced to leave his grandmother all alone and fend for himself, which means he had to learn how to be completely independent in not only every day life, but also in the dangerous situations his quest required from him. It is not a far stretch to say that Link probably became home sick often, and alongside that, he also had to deal with the guilt of allowing his sister to be kidnapped instead of being able to protect her as he believes he should. Because of this, it is likely that Link suffers from nightmares, whether about monsters, Ganondorf, Bellum or even just missing his family and friends

Link 3/This is just gonna keep goingunamvirtusDecember 31 2010, 00:40:40 UTC
Link is also DAMN crafty at seeing the good side of people, and once he spots some goodness in a person he will latch onto it like an adorable leech and never let go. He's amazingly gifted at bringing it out of a person too, and with the sheer patience of a goddamn saint he often befriends the kind of people who treat him a bit poorly just because he knows that ~deep inside, they're a nice person~ (ie, Tetra and Linebeck). Why he doesn't have more kind friends too is probably just Link's undeterrably shitty luck in everything life has to offer. That aside, when Link forms a close attachment to someone, he will drag himself through the dirt to hold onto them, fighting tooth and nail if he has to. He is unbelievably devoted to the people he cares about and will never, EVER abandon or betray them if it is in any way possible not to. However, by doing that Link also makes himself extremely subjectable to being hurt by loved ones. Abuse or mistreatment is something he would and will readily take as a price to keep someone, and he can

Link 4/And goingunamvirtusDecember 31 2010, 00:48:17 UTC
Skills/Abilities: COMBAT /ETC. SKILLS Link is surprisingly good at kicking people's asses for his age, and he has his own personal arsenal of special offensive and defensive attacks: his most notable ones are his quick dodging skills and extreme agility (jumping over people's heads), as well as the classic parry attack. He has excellent depth perception and aims remarkably well, which is handy not only for sword-fighting, but also with his long range weapons. Because of his physical disadvantages, Link doesn't use much of his own physical force when he is fighting, and if he is disarmed he is likely to be at a huge disadvantage if he can't find something else to use to fight his attacker off (I've removed his power bracelets which would have made him considerably stronger; with everything this kind has, it's really not fair for him to keep all of it). Regardless, this is balanced out fairly well by remarkable fluidity in his fighting style, as well as Link's impressive flexibility. On top of that, Link has some amazing balance when

5/Okay done.unamvirtusDecember 31 2010, 00:51:08 UTC
Spoken/Written languages: He speaks Hylian, which can be assumed "Common", but he probably has an unfamiliar accent when he speaks it. However, written Hylian uses a completely different alphabet and those who don't know Hylian won't be able to read it unless it's over the communicators. Items: He'll also have: -A freaking lobster sheild -Grappling hook -Empty potion bottles -A shitload of useless rupees -The empty Phantom Hourglass -His clothes and stuff And nothing else unless I forget something important and have to tack it on later. Link usually carries a lot of other things with him, but for the sake of not letting him get into the relam of god modding, you can assume that if I didn't mention it, he doesn't have it with him unless the above happens. Third person sample: A third person sample can be found here. First person sample: it's really big here. I don't think i've ever been some place this big before, i don't even know where to start exploring. It's not as warm as where I'm from though.,.. I wonder why? Does the land

Condensed History unamvirtusJanuary 1 2011, 07:32:12 UTC
Link is a little elf kiddo who grew up on a tropical island with his little sister Aryll and his grandmother. On his twelfth birthday, Shit Got Real and Aryll was kidnapped by a giant bird monster thanks to the pirate captain Tetra. Thus, Link left his island and started an adventure on the Great Sea to save his sister, which eventually evolved into a huge quest to SAVE THE WORLD. After his first attempt to save Aryll failed, Link was introduced to Ganondorf, an evil Gerudo man with the Triforce of Power who was aiming to conquer Hyrule, the ancient land lost under the sea when the Goddesses attempted to stop him from Gaining the entire Triforce ; The Triforces of Power, Courage, and Wisdom. With the help of a mysterious boat, it was up to Link to stop him! Oh no

Third Person SampleunamvirtusJanuary 1 2011, 07:38:18 UTC
(Sample recycled from a previous application for rivelata! Please notify me if this isn't okay.)
Link awoke first to the smell of the sea. It was something he had familiarized himself with a long time ago, of course, after a life set on it, and after that; after months of traveling and waking up to the salty scent every morning-- and the familiarity of it comforted him, allowing him a minute to lay there drowsily, unaware of anything but his own sleepy haze and the drift of waves. It lasted for another ten seconds before his ears were assaulted with a loud bang and someone-- someones? running past him, causing the boy to cry out and jump upwards in a panic, blinking around in a bewildered tiredness before dragging himself to a seated position, listening to the now muffled voices nearby as he tried to gather his senses.
The first thing was really what he assumed to be groggy confusion-- he'd never been a heavy sleeper and Tetra knew that, so why did she have to wake him up like that? Maybe it was really late and he'd slept in? Or he'd
