A LEGEND OF ZELDA ROLEPLAY
Welcome to ZRP! We are an non-canon RP site with an original tale taking place within the
lore of the Zelda Franchise. While the events of this site are entirely non-canon, we take advantage of the canons of other
games to explain its story fully. As such, we are located within the CANON TIMELINE. Do you like what you see? If so, feel free
to register and join our story! If you have any questions, you can join our discord, located in our important links!
11/12/21 GUESS WHO'S BACK! Thats right, and we are cooking up a good ol reset for everyone. Please be patient as things will be a little empty as we archive. Pop into discord if you have questions.
3.) Your magic needs to be a spell, not an innate ability. All magic can't be preformed freely 100% of the time. Not unless you are a goddess. Meaning after time the player will feel fatigue and the like. TBH you might be better off making an item he can wear to allow his to do this rather than a spell (THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION, YOU ARE FREE TO DISREGARD), but the same parameters must be met. Specify damage, and please even describe how he uses these lightning bolts to fight.
4.) Make sure to go back through your app for errors. You said he no longer worships majora, but she is still mentioned in some places. I.E Appearance.
5.) I understand you feel like you need to use game canon references, but please also take the effort to understand that just because it exists in the game does not mean it exists on site. That is because we try to BALANCE between canon and original concepts so EVERYONE can enjoy the setting without prioritizing one thing over another. I will look past the normal lightning weakness that zora have, however you must meet the requirements I relayed above.
Hello there! I'm Nova and I am here to grade your redux! However it is not pleasant to tell you that I suggest a complete do-over, and for a few reasons; but the large one is that you completely disregarded what Debisis told you, --or you only read at least half of what he wrote.
You expanded on his personality, and it was sufficient until the second paragraph where you just left in his outwards appearance; THERE IS A SECTION FOR APPEARANCE. A personality is how they act, much more than how they present themselves. Maybe try expanding on his motivations/fears/dislikes/ etc. How would he react upon coming in contact with some of these? Does his bullheaded determination mean that he would do anything to achieve his goals?
His Age. Just because he is from Termina, does not mean he is 230 years old. Time passes differently there compared to Hyrule, but a year there is still only a year. He would still only be 30 years old despite how much time has passed in Hyrule.
The Appearance is a bit sub par, and the previous paragraph specified that currently resides in personality would find a better home in this section. There is more to appearance than just clothing and aesthetic features, and the second paragraph in your personality brushes up on this. The way they talk, walk and hold themselves in and OUT OF BATTLE is just as important than their physical weight and height ( which you did not clarify ).
Magic is too vague. There is alot more you can put into this description. Such as going over how many he can fire before feeling some kind of fatigue. I really doubt that he is a master spell craft with only possessing one spell, so keep that in mind, and you still didn't specify how big the energy bolts are LIKE DEBISIS SAID.
And Finally, History. Oh boy! I have to reiterate and say, I really doubt that you read the entirety of what Debisis had to say. That, or you disregarded it entirely. Its nice that you gave us some more information but on the other hand, this history for your character goes against too many rules.
The first one is metagamming. Debisis told you that in CANON PLOT, Termina as a whole does not know about Hyrule. Except for the few CANON PC's such as Alexander ( which is not the village elder ), the mayor ( which is not the village elder ) and some fairies ( which is not the village elder ). So once more, there is no possible way, that your character would be from Termina, and end up in Hyrule by the end of your history. Its not happening. If you want to be from Termina, then you are going to be IN Termina until you RP in character a way to Hyrule, which may or may not be soon. My suggestion, be from Hyrule. There is nothing special going on in Termina anyways.
→ A ↓ → A ↓ . What. In. The. Hell. Oh so now your character is the main protag eh? And it was necessary to use the game controls? I'm going to put a big fat NOPE on this. This is disregarding site CANON plot that was written by staff.
After looking over the remainder of your history... I can not say much else than, STOP TRYING TO REWRITE THE PLOT WE HAVE WROTE! You can either follow it, or you will not be approved.
Using the song of time
Meeting and kissing The Goddess of Time (which is canonically Hylia)
Becoming Immortal
All of this gets a BIG NOPE! This site has a Link, if you want to play the main squeeze cheese protag in this fashion I suggest going to play OOT. This is an RP forum hun, where people write stories based on the events in this setting, not to rewrite canon plot however you wish. Honestly the entirety of staff does not know how to address your desire to play this type of a character, but at the time, this gary stu is getting a DENIED tag. I suggest starting over, coming up with an original plot that does not require manipulating our site canon plot to your whim, and taking the advice given by not only myself, but Debisis as well. Please try again, with a bit more earnest effort and make sure to read over the plot given by staff.
Following the events in Hyrule, the H.o.H give themselves some much needed recuperation. The successful rescue of Link brings new possibilities for the Heroes. Yet the power of Eleazar, and now the once imprisoned, Majora, create fresh obstacles to overcome as well. Hopelessness looms over the camp as the fearless leaders rest broken, and in pieces, --Zelda Hyrule lays lost in unconsciousness, and Link is only a mere fragment of his original self.
In suit of recent affair's, King Perseus, along with Prince Artemis, call for a gathering. Kingdoms and Leaders who hold loyal ties to the Heroes of Hyrule, are summoned to Labrynna for a council. The topic? The end of the world as they know it, as Majora most likely has intentions to corrupt the land to her preference and pleasure.
All while the Heroes leave the Lost Forest they call home, the influence of the freed Goddess extends further, strings now intertwined around the Sea Zora. Unbeknownst to Prince Gaelio, home is no longer safe for him as he faces the council of seven; those who would already cast aside the thought of being ruled by a Hylian. Denounced, he, and the small force of those who still serve him, make their way inland to the capital of Labrynna, to make light the transgressions of the Sea Zora.
Yet the worst has yet to come.
As world leaders gather in the palace, darkness crawls from Hyrule, crossing the threshold into Symmetry City. Eleazar has his sights set on the large metropolis, and word is spreading of his intended capture of the current ruling monarch.
With the rebelling Sea Zora, and their enemy marching on his doorstep; How is the King of Labrynna supposed to fight on two fronts?

Fair skies, a warm gentle breeze, and the scent of changing seasons greet each townsfolk as they slowly carry on their day. Different types, all varying between the artisans and the military, make up the majority of the crowd in the bustling municipal, --and some obviously labeled outsiders.
Symmetry City.
The glistening city, overseen by a Duke, had been prosperous for nearly four decades of time. A point of travel for most adventurers that seek out treasure and wealth, or those that simply wanted to partake in the delicacies offered within its confines. Though today it would attract a new kind of attention, from a once outside source.
Who is it that has come to the city now?

Two Weeks. It had been merely two weeks since the Heroes had successfully freed Link from his imprisonment. In the eyes of some, it was over in an instance, --however to some, it felt like an eternity. Zelda still slept in her chambers, causing worry to spread from person to person as the thought of her waking up grew smaller and smaller. They could not wait any longer, and with the absence of his sister, Prince Artemis got to work. Letters, many letters. Each entrusted into the hands of their fastest riders, or whatever men they could spare; It was a summons, to the offered palace in Labrynna.
Every sovereign faithful to the succession of Zelda, now gathered under the expansive and decorated foyer. At the head of the large table would be King Perseus, and around him are those he holds with high regards. At this time, it is simply the wait for everyone to be accounted for, though some have already taken a seat available.

You are approved, but after reading your application, red flags are being tossed left and right. Let me just break this down --
PERSONALITY: This is the primary source of my concern, considering the remainder of the app is lackluster. To be blunt, your character is full of contradictions. If that outcome is on purpose than by all means ignore this, however I doubt that was the intent due to the way it was written. To give some examples of what I mean;
Your opening sentence portrays that he is mysterious, puzzling, and by definition difficult to understand; yet the following description is opposite by comparison. The traits of his personality, i.e. friendly, confident, and fun, are all normal for a young man to possess and there is nothing strange about them.
You claim Ventus is easily able to make friends, calm and CONFIDENT, yet in the 3rd paragraph you say he is rather introverted? The definition of introvert is shy and reserved; Polar opposites. I understand that you only wished to imply that his behaviour in regards to his past could be seen as "introverted", but I personally wouldn't use that word. I'm also personally concerned that this is reflective of the missing history in your application. Correct, a history is not required, however on the other hand a history is important to not only the character but the roleplayer. A history defines a character's personality, motivations, fears, etc. The importance of these variables make or break characters, and without them, the will to write said character will diminish.
The last paragraph of your personality makes little to no sense overall. Likely due to minor grammatical errors, you might want to go over your application one more time to fix any mistakes. Anyways, to explain, in your words exactly; "although he often teases others and is flirtatious he himself is susceptible to it." I have a feeling you meant that he is NOT susceptible to it, otherwise it wouldn't make sense to structure your sentence like that.
Looking past those contradictions, I am a bit apprehensive about the lack of example in your likes, dislikes, fears and motivations. They give little to no insight as to how your character will interact with others, or aim to achieve anything. This may not be important for some characters, but for the 'Hand of the King', it is quite the ordeal. What goals does Ventus have, and how would he achieve them? Is it beneficial to himself alone, or for the kingdom he serves? So many questions.
I read your application and I can't help but picture Gin from season 1 of bleach....
Some other worry's I have about your application, while minor, they still spring some questions in my mind.
Lets hope the length of his greatsword, isn't bigger than his body! Jokes aside, I was disappointed in the lack of effort in his appearance. We don't have a minimum in regards to 'appearance' but I would have liked to see maybe some description on how he would carry himself aesthetically since there was no mention of that in his personality.
You have Master in Arcana but no magic? Also i'm going to assume that since you have no points in the other fields (not even novice) that he can barely preform them or recall any information on the subject. I expect to see this reflected in your posts.
The RP sample was okay. If this is what we have to look forward to in your posts, -- I will make a suggestion; proper paragraphing saves lives. TDLR: You have alot of run on sentences.
This concludes my review! Due to the obvious absence of effort in some parts of your application, You are rewarded with no extra trait points. After some time, ( which I suggest you spend getting to know your character some more ) please submit a upgraded application. I would love to see Ventus Calum blossom into something more than this. If you have questions you know where to ask; as for what's next: Keep an eye out for upcoming events, and/or create your plotter if you so wish. Otherwise there are many people on site that itch for threads.
Don't worry bout not knowing botw yet, we are only partially canon, and deviate from the original timeline. Be sure to read up our plot to help get yourself accommodated to our story.
The eerie natural phenomena; a recorded event that only transpires once every six centuries. The alignment of the world and stars foretelling the prophetic rise of the Bloodmoon, a magical and mysterious occurrence that rarely happens, bringing with it an aura of demise. Records of the Bloodmoon have been noted since the first appearance, but with time, information merely fades into legend, making the mystical night a surprise to all those that live through it.
The Bloodmoon rises once again, the pulsating red glow of the orb radiating magical properties, corruption seething from the enigma. During this rare conundrum, the monsters of the Isle react to the atmosphere with a crazed and frenzied response; attacking villages, or even traveling caravans in each of the separate realms.
Warning - it is rumored that during the Bloodmoon, a lumbering beast awakens, its insatiable hunger driving it to hunt for mortal flesh. Be wary young hero, for if you find yourself in harms way, you may not make it out alive.
Greetings members of ZRP! Staff here to present a new and fun event for you all. Unlike the previous plot event, this one is not staff driven and instead depends on your own desire to write. This is a theme event for the month of October, playing with the spoopy theme of Halloween! So to celebrate the holiday, I present the 'Rise of the Bloodmoon'!
During the month of October, any threads finished, be they dungeon or social, will receive double the amount in rewards. Shards, EXP, Rupees, etc. So be sure to plot with your fellow members to reap the benefits!
Also, a once in a lifetime limited event!
THE HUNT FOR LYNEL
The blood moon has brought out the terrifying presence of a Lynel. A beast who stalks the night in search of food to sate it's thirst for battle, and hunger of man. A centaur like creature with the head of a lion, and the body of a horse. These fearsome monsters have lived since ancient times. They possess intense intelligence, resilience, and strength, making them among the most dangerous monsters in all the land. This is compounded by the fact that they have a natural resistance to all elements. You would be wise to challenge a Lynel only if you're very well prepared. Thus the Knight Commander of Holodrum has put out a bounty on this beast, promising treasure to all who would attempt to take it down.
- For those that want to take on the bounty for the Lynel, simply start a thread with any number of members in the Holodrum area. The battle is determined by players, but the rewards are given by staff upon its completion. Keep in mind that this is a very hard mini boss, and will not be thwarted so easily. Staff reserve the right to interrupt any threads. Good luck!
