Twilight Strikes Back
(A Zelda-based Role-play)

History: Decades had passed in relative peace. People tended to their own business, going into the small villages for trade and word from messengers. People were content, more than happy to focus on the harvest and pretend the warriors that guarded each land weren’t really there. (More on warriors later) Looking on the outside everyone seemed perfectly happy, except for the Twilight Realm dwellers. With their Twilight King gone without a trace they were left to fend for themselves, left to their own devices. Soon the Twilight Dwellers began attacking the barrier between their realm and the villagers’ realm, and with time they prevailed. Twilight Realm dwellers began wrecking havoc on the villagers, and with the only people trained being the warriors, they were outnumbered. The warriors fell, but not before combining all the Triforce shards, and therefore banishing the Twilight Realm dwellers to their own dimension. The three Triforce pieces shattered once the act was done, however, and through the goddesses will they found new souls. The souls were unknowing to the power, courage, and wisdom that they were embodying however, and they never would unless the time arose when warriors would once again be needed. If the time would arise, however, the marking of the Triforce would appear on the warriors dominant hand. The power would travel through with ancestry, safe from evil for as long as the balance between good and evil remained intact, but this would not last forever. Centuries later a stirring in power began…

Conditions Presently: During the time the RP starts the villagers/militia have already begun having encounters with Twilight Dwellers, but at the time very few recognized the Twilight Dwellers from the legends for lack of pictures to go by. The larger villages tend to receive more visits from the Twilight Dwellers, however on the full moon all villages receive a mass of at least ten Twilight Dwellers, prepared for them or not. At the start of the RP the Warriors will not have reached their full power, and may only just be noticing sudden understanding of subjects. Technology has not expanded beyond what is seen in Twilight Princess and much of the structures that may be seen later in the OP have remained the same.

Militia: Often there will be patrols set up through the night ranging anywhere from 16 to 65 years of age. Normally the shifts start at sunset and until the break of dawn going in two hour shifts. Villagers that are in the physical shape to handle this task have joined the Militia that fends off the attacks from the Twilight Dwellers. Once the attacks started to become a common event many of the villagers decided to become a part of the Militia, even if only by taking a two hour shift every now and then. *As of now there is not a set limit on the Militia members.*

Warriors: The warriors before consisted only of males due to the older times, but with the current change in times either gender could be a warrior and not realize it. The warriors, once their power was awakened, would find they understood what the previous warrior had understood, but they would not suddenly become masters at weaponry. It was not beyond normal for village people to learn some sort of weapon, as the legends were still held firmly in memory and many saw the precaution as necessary.
*Currently there are nine warrior spots available, but if there are more people who wish to participate than expected then I may make more spots available. Otherwise, whoever reserves spots first gets that position*

Messengers: Messengers are people that deliver messages either verbally or through letters. Commonly messengers are not in the Militia. Messengers are as seen on Zelda: Wind Waker from Dragon Roost Islands, with the occasional villager delivering from horse-back.*It’d be preferred to have only about three Messengers unless there are a lot of people who make a template for this. *

Twilight Dwellers: Twilight Dwellers live in the Twilight Realm and are commonly in the form of a beast. There are also spirits. The Twilight Dwellers can get through the barrier every quarter of the moon’s phase, and the powerful Twilight Dwellers can get through the barrier for as long as it is night in the villagers’ realm–though only once every week without compensating their strength. In the RP the Twilight Dwellers will live in the Twilight Dimension–unless escaped of course–and will carry on in a more substantial form.
*There is not a limit on Twilight Dwellers in the RP but if there are not many that join it would be appreciated if someone who took up a Twilight Dweller character also took up a Militia, Messenger, or Warrior position if available. *

Triforce Shards: There are nine shards, three from power, three from courage, and three from wisdom (may change as said above). Each of these nine are being embodied by someone who could be a warrior if the time arises. *If there are any questions just ask. At the moment I can’t think of anything else to add*

Villages: Here are the villages from Majora’s Mask.


Rules:
1) No Godmodding or Power playing
2) Romance/Violence/language to a PG-13 level
3) Please only create as many characters as you can control in the RP.
4) If you can, please post once a week so the RP continues to move.
5) Only have one ‘Warrior’ Character. Otherwise, same as 3rd rule.

Template:
Name: (Please be reasonable. Not something 40 characters long)
Age: (13-65 if anything but a warrior. Warriors should be at least 15+)
Gender: (Self Explanatory)
Position: (Warrior, Militia, Messenger, Twilight Dweller)
Appearance: (A picture will work or a paragraph, or both. If a twilight Dweller please give us an idea as to what your character‘s insubstantial form looks like as well.)
Personality: (What’s your character like? At least a small paragraph)
Weapon: (If your character has a weapon, what is it? No more than three)
Triforce: (If you’re a warrior, what Triforce do you have; courage, power, wisdom.)
Location: (What village are you in? Or if you‘re in the Twilight Realm)
Biography: (What’s your characters life been like? If they‘re in the Militia do they have a Night Guard? Family? Ect. )
Other: (Anything else?)

Copy-Paste Template:

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Position:
Appearance:
Personality:
Weapon:
Triforce:
Location:
Biography:
Other:

*I understand that since the forum only has so many members this won't have any more than four actual characters, hopefully at the least, but all the same, I'd like to have at least two warriors and two militias. Twilight Dwellers are NPC along with Messengers (due to lack of members as of now)

Accepted Characters:

Reserved Positions:
Warriors:
2/9
Militia:
1

((Let's just see if this'll pick up good this time around ;D ))

NOTE: I'm confused are u going off of Twilight Princess, or Majora's Mask, or both?
SOME COOL STUFF ABOUT THE RP:
Posted Image
I was bored so I went ahead and thought of a really cool idea, to identify the Tri-Force emblems

Posted ImageRed-Power
Posted ImageGreen-Courage
Posted ImageBlue-Wisdom


As all you know, Power-Ganandorf, Courage-Link, Wisdom-Zelda/Shiek(her alter ego)
When all three pieces are meshed together it forms the Tri-force(the golden emblem{it's made of three and called tri for a reason})
Also the mark on their hand glows when warriors approach each other, however only your Mark lights up(zelda history)
Posted ImagePosted Image
But it would be really cool if every person in the rp put one of the Tri-force pics(Red, Blue, or Green respectively) in their temp for the Tri-force spot(if they are a warrior)
also you should keep the number of allowed warriors in sets of 3(and in each set u should only allow one of each type)
just my opinions tho.....

I'll definitely be joining. ;D

EDIT:

Name: Trip
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Position: Warrior
Appearance: Quite thin, Trip has dirty-blonde hair and blue eyes. Standing at 6'4", he's nearly always seen with a pair of sweat pants and long-sleeves on, except during formal occasions like during a death or a party. His face is hewn with lines and scars every which away, signaling a long battle history despite his rather young age. Trip wears a necklace that his mother gave him around his neck all of the time; it's made of lethusala shells she picked up around the beach earlier in Trip's life.
Personality: This nineteen-year old is rather easy-going and independent, resorting to ask for help in only the direst of circumstances. Don't let his rugged looks fool you, though--he's quite polite, especially when it comes to watching children or talking to the elderly. Trip loves to joke around with his friends, too; he's really more of a comedian than a warrior.
Weapon: Mind; Bare Hands; Shuriken (fighting at long distance)
Triforce: Posted Image
(Wisdom)
Location: Clock Town
Biography: Born into a poor family, Trip's not what you'd call unique or special when it comes to physical things. However, his intellectual capabilities have surprised all, even as a toddler. His mother was so amazed that he could already perform mental math calculations at the age of three that she showcased him to all of the villagers in the surrounding area. Trip was proud, even then, and he eventually gained much respect from his peers. However, disaster struck soon after all of these events transpired.

It was the Twilight Dwellers that caused all of the trouble. At the beginning of every full moon, they would appear outside the Snow Village. At the time, no one knew about these creatures yet, but a militia was put together to stop them from appearing anyway. Trip's father and mother were among those few, the few that would guard the village from those nightmare-ish beasts. However, they couldn't handle the task. One night, as they were patrolling the perimeter of the village, a Twilight Dweller caught them unawares. In the chaos that followed, Trip's parents were killed.
Other: None.

@.......
Yeah, it's more or less going to be a combination of the two games, as it takes place in the world of Majora's Mask, but the Twilight Dwellers relate to Twilight Princess.

And... Theta, your temp's accepted
And one more thing, I'll have my temp up in a few minutes

EDIT:
Name: Jade Hayes
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Position: Warrior
Appearance:Jade wears tough blue jeans that are suited for hiking. She also wears a white shirt beneath a black vest. She wears knee-high boots that are black as well. Arcelia has sea-colored eyes and long, dark brownish-blondish hair. She stands at about five feet five inches and is athletically built. At all times she can be seen wearing a macramé necklace that has a small, wooden carved pendant. Arcelia is deeply tanned due to being out in the sun a lot.

Personality: There are two sides of Jade: the side in whcih she'll be patient, analytical, and watchful of what she says, and the site that she'll go off on someone, and will more than happily fight them. It's rare that her second side will be shown, but when someone claims that they are better purely because she is a woman, she will prove them wrong one way or another. Often others will see Jade as cold due to how analyticals she will be, and because when there's a chance someone under her command may get killed, she pulls back regardless of how many of another village will be harmed. However, she will go in herself. Some, if not most of Clock Town, say she does this out of guilt.

Weapon: Bow And Arrows, a dagger, and hand-to-hand-combat

Trifoce: CouragePosted Image

Location: Clock Town

Biography:When Jade was nine years old her mother died of disease. A few days before she died, however, she gave Jade the pendant that she wears all the time. Before the Twilight Dwellers started coming to the town she would, when she was about thirteen, take hikes out to the South of Clock Town and practice archery. Her father did not approve of her preference of weaponry over ‘socializing’ but due to his own handicaps he could not force her to do otherwise.

When the Twilight Dwellers began showing Jade joined the militia that was starting up slowly at first. Eventually, as numbers grew and many people of the town became a part of the militia, it was possible for there to be 6 shifts a night, five people per shift. Jade preferred the position of patrolling the town over setting post at one of the directional gates, and so once a night she would take the mid-night shift since she was accustomed to staying up much of the night and sleeping when she could throughout the day. Jade does not have any siblings and her only living family is her father who, as said, is handicapped due to a hunting injury to his shoulder. He no longer has any feeling from his right shoulder to his fingertips.

Once, on Jade's first mission she allowed the mission to interfere with her concern for her comrades. Her squad was killed in front of her. The last survivor sacrifcing himself, and in the process, killing the last Twilight Dweller. Since then Jade has been keeping a strong hold on her guilt, and though she doesn't admit it to others, the very reason she goes out on missions is because she does blame herself, and she swore long ago (she was seventeen on her first mission) that she would kill every Twilight Dweller if it killed her in the process.

Other: N/A

~~~~
I should be posting another temp up soon, as to increase the numbers slightly.

Edit # 2

Name: Braiden
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Position: Militia
Location: Snow Village
Appearance: Braiden wears a thick cloak that is solid whit-suited for blending in with his surrounds. He wars ‘Hakama’ pants and leather boots that are meant to keep out the cold. Braiden is about average height, wiry built, and very pale. His faded gray eyes only make it easier for him to blend in, but what makes it difficult is his midnight black hair that he lets grow out. When he’s trying to remain unseen he will pull his hood over his head.

Personality: Braiden, despite his unseen movement skills, will happily talk with someone and can almost seem uncomfortable in silence whether that is the case or not. When it comes to fighting he doesn’t know when to stop pushing himself, and even when injured he will try to force himself into the fight. Braiden is adventurous. He is also very protective of his family even though, when thinking straight, he knows they are perfectly capable of handling themselves.

Weapon: Wakizashi (a short sword) and a dagger that normally remains in its sheath.

Biography: Braiden has lived his entire life in the Snow Village, and he has had no wish to leave for long periods of time after he visited warmer climates for short periods of time. From the time he was seven he has been the head of the house, having to provide for his family as best he could. When he had only just turned seven years old his father left, seemingly without a trace. Braiden’s mother, doing the best she can to provide for her family of five, failed to manage on her own, and so Braiden, who is the oldest, took on much. Whenever he gets a chance he goes out to hunt small prey, but when the Twilight Dwellers moved in his younger brother and sisters who are twelve, nineteen, and twenty-two, had to take over.

Together with the other villagers who have joined the Militia Braiden, who was a late-comer, tries his hardest to defend the village in times of need but cannot stand to stay away from his family for long before he becomes reckless in his fighting, picturing his ‘defenseless’ mother.

Biography: Aya....had a tragic event around the rising of the Twilight Creatures....losing her memory in the process. She along with Leaf have conceived the idea that when the twilight goes away her memories will return.

This may seem scary, however the energy that it takes turns this ball from white to blue and it also gains information from the ancestors of the youngster. So that guidance may be given to the youngster........fairies also have access to the fairy network(a mental network for fairies to communicate from far distances.....it also helps fairies double check information before giving it to their kokiri). The most peculiar thing about this Fairy however is that his pigment is red instead of the normal clear-blue, this is do to the triforce that it obtained during the Joining of Souls Coronation.
Other: Spirit/Fairy of Power

^Okay, once you're done with your template you may post. (Please hurry though, we can only stall so long until the main event can take place.)

Btw, Zach, it's up to you on your character's response, but my character may be asking your character on a mission that she needs two others in. You'll see in my post in a couple of minutes though.

Hey Key, you gonna get your temp done? I talked to Creativecreature, and his temp is gonna be done sometime tomorrow, and rather than create an NPC for the third person my character needs (Jade is gonna ask Trip, which Theta can deny or accept, for the mission, and since your character is off on a ship it'll make it easier for you to drop in randomly)
