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.
"You look at your life as though your role is more important than those who define the very will of this world," Eleazar stated plainly. "While we hold influence over the world around us, we cannot mistake ourselves as the sole viscount over the land. The Gods are real, and they are mighty and wrathful. Ignore them long enough, and they will surely show no mercy."
He took a deep breath, a lump forming in his chest that he tried to supress. It was annoying, and almost itchy, causing his throat to clam up as he spoke of it. Majora's strange aura surrounding her goals seemed to cloud him with such excitement, it was almost inhumane.
"I've accepted myself as a chess piece in her master plan, as do many acolytes who follow in their creator's footsteps. We are nothing compared to their beauty, and I've surrendered those temptations to think otherwise."
His triumphs were mighty and impressive, but he tried not to boast on those motives alone. While his cause started only as a mere test to see if he could pull it off, the enlightenment that followed was no revelation his tried to ignore.
"So your troops will remain neutral so long as mine do not interfere is what I presume?"
"Perhaps you are right. It is her decision I suppose," Eleazar shrugged. He didn't really care who made the decision, but it was imparitive whoever decided had agreed. He was willing to show mercy, but not without something in return.
He listened to what Asthar had then spoken of Zelda, to which he closed his eyes and took another sip from his wine. Once his words were finished, he sighed, shaking his head lightly. "Love is such a fickele thing, isn't it? It distracts you from your duties. Makes you do stupid thing--defy the very nature of the world around you. There's no use for it, at least, not when you're at war."
He thought of the bonds he may have to share in the future. Eventually, he would need to marry and be loyal to one. To pick his bride would be his most difficult choice yet, and it would change his pace for whichever alliance he creates.
There was always the possibility of unifiying his cause with Zelda's. But with Link's return... well, that surely put a hole in that plan, now didn't it? There were others he had in mind though.
The King asked another question, this time one more personal. Eleazar's amber eyes looked up into the crimson eyed monarch carefully.
"You ask why I desire the power of the gods..." he mused carefully. He paused, thinking about this for a moment, a smile creeping on his face as he thought of the grandeur that was his future.
"Because it is my God's will. From a young age, I heard the voices of a god. The one who has yet to abandon us with a useless human form, Majora. If you were there on that fateful night in the castle, you have seen the power she offers. It is her will that I become a pawn in her destiny, for I will have a place in her paradise."
Eleazar took a moment to listen to what Asthar had to say - his observations on how each of the leaders would react during a time of war and invasion. Of course, there was little to mention of Eleazar's own plans for Labrynna now that their king has openly defied him.
He gave a quiet snicker to the king's comment on he and Zelda being opposites. Perhaps it was true; While Zelda relies on the hopes and morale of her people, Eleazar would take matters into his own hand. He started with nothing and built the foundations of his successes with it. Perhaps she could learn a thing or two from him!
Ah, but those matters aside, the two of them acted for very different reasons, but both are blanketed with their cause being for "the people." Was it truly for them? Sure, Eleazar rewarded those who complied and offered his services to him, but in the end it was much more than just the success for security - it was to see if he could even do it in the first place. To show his family that cast him aside he could build something for himself without them.
"Zelda claims to oppose me for the good of her people; to rebalance the world to its proper ways of peace. But no matter how many times she gave the same corny speech to her followers... I could see past her deceit and felt a truly selfish reason in her eyes," Eleazar noted before tipping a glass of wine to his lips.
"Her only true goal was to save her precious lover so that she could pass the torch back to him. Being everyone's hero is such a heavy burden - much too heavy for that of a princess who already carries the weight of the goddess. With so many eyes looking to her for direction, she felt herself fall apart before them and became a recluse for four years. Some hero! No, she just couldn't wait to push the burdens back to her precious Elinkar," he chuckled. "So we shall see the direction the 'Heroes of Hyrule' take from here. Will Zelda disappear again? Will Link crumble under the weight of their sovereigns' expectations?"
It was the one reason he chose to keep them alive. He wanted to give them the chance to fight for what they claimed they wanted. But with a silence falling over them for a moment, he analyzed Asthar's words about Aryllia carefully.
It was interesting to see the man keep composure over the danger of what Eleazar could assume was either a beloved or a close partner. And while he knew when it was appropriate to play games and mess with his prisoners, he also had the capability to show mercy.
"Very well then," he closed his eyes. "The Sacred Realm can wait then. I'll release her under your care on the conidition that she returns to the castle when summoned to decipher some scripts left by the previous sages. No harm will come to her and she will be free to go once they are translated completely."
Carefully, Eleazar took note of the reactions that plastered upon the King's face. He stood still, unmoved by those who became uneasy; but Asthar never seemed to falter in his collection, which Eleazar could appreciate from a political standpoint.
Showing a sign of worry would be weakness, and this King seemed not weakened by the thoughts of someone he cares for in his grasp. He took a moment to speak, but his words were fluid with confidence, and Eleazar wondered how much truth supported them.
Still, it would make sense for him to simply hold "alliance" for friendship, and despite their bonds, he kept his word on staying neutral, but the words that followed were what concerned Eleazar most.
He was at the castle during the attack; disguised and kept safe in whatever secret he was behind, but he began to think more clearly; should he have some kind of relationship with the Light Sage, he must have been the Sheikah whom Aryllia was so quick to try and pull away from the battle.
"So what was it that you observed then? I must admit that wasn't my finest moment. With so much happening, it was hard to stay... completely civil. But with the goddess at my side, and the... banished queen in her unconscious state," he chose his words carefully since they were still 'friends'. "I believe the Heroes are at a standstill for now. I stand by what I said before. I will allow the hero to complete his trials and come forth when he believes he is ready... but will he ever be?"he rose a brow.
Surely, he didn't know. And if he did, he would worry about it later. It would give him time to expand his troops and win allies. He already had several plans on how to proceed. But then the King began to speak of the girl, and Eleazar narrowed his eyes.
"That girl, whether she wants to identify herself as his sister and the sage or not, was my only key to the Sacred Realm; however my intel suggests that the gates have been sealed permanently until the hero reforges the Blade of Evil's Bane," he nodded. "She is a capable scout and bounty hunter, and was useful for my special ops. However, as of late, she has been less complacent and secretive. She was then sent to be dealt with by me, and I had urgent plans for her... until my castle was breached."
Taking a seat once more, he allowed his fingers to expand over the ends of the arm rests, his back against the support of the chair. "I have not given orders on what to do next with her as of yet, since she is now useless to my plans. Is she important to you or no?"

I am the monster in your head
And I thought you'd learn by now
It seems you haven't yet
I am the venom in your skin
"I call myself what I am, your grace. You see, I do not go by the formalities of being referred to as a 'king'. I am simply... a symbol. A banished prince can be a symbol." Eleazar nodded, his fingers lightly pressing against the flesh of his cheek as he leaned back in his chair.
He took note of Asthar's mention of staying neutral through the war, and he raised a brow for a moment in wonder, "Is it not true that you and the King of Labrynna, Perseus are quite close? Though I have not witnessed for myself, it has been reported that the two of you are actually very good friends."
He didn't quite care. It didn't mean that he wasn't neutral, and despite bonds simply being for truce, he kept his word on keeping his troops out of the territory. He would understand then that Perseus was a fool for attempting to front a siege on the Capitol. "Of course, I do understand that you have written on multiple occasions with your denial of entering the battles yourself, so you must understand why it was necessary to defend what I rightfully earned when his troops came knocking on my door."
His hands rubbed together for a moment, thinking hard on what Asthar had mentioned on his distaste for Hyrule. "Is that so?"
For a moment, Eleazar rose from the chair and scanned the room's decor tentatively. Circling around the seat, he then paced back and forth, looking from banner to banner that hung from the tent. "What exactly is it that you find distasteful of Hyrule? I myself, also find things to be quite... abhorrent as well."
He froze in place, his back facing the King for a moment before his eyes fixed upon the gems that hung from a tapestry, his fingers lightly tracing the fabric. "Hyrule needs to be reworked in its entirety. The distribution of wealth within the city has grown stale. I intend to change that. You see, I consider myself to be a fair ruler. In exchange for their loyalty, I provide protection and basic necessities."
"Of course, those necessities... shelter, food, water... they are not free. They will have to work for what they want, and I will gladly supply... however some may consider me to be merciless, but I simply have three rules."
He turned from the banner before flickering his focus to the other decorations that scattered. "I do not tolerate the harassment of women. Anyone caught forcing themselves upon a female will be immediately executed. I do not tolerate stealing - it cheats the system on what you earned from your work, but lastly..."
He slowly turned to face the king, his amber eyes settling its gaze upon his crimson. "I do not tolerate lying. It breaks a trust that had been established."
He paused once more, his mouth opening slightly as he thought about what to say next as carefully as possible. "You see... I'm not quite understanding what your idea of neutrality is. I find it quite humorous that you claim to have absolutely no involvement in this war when your men were directly involved in stealing something very precious from me."
Confusion suddenly dampened the air as a simper crawled upon the false ruler's face. "I had just gotten my hands on the very key to opening the Sacred Realm - a young girl whom held the title of sage, and it was her duty alone to protect the Doors of Time, and she also happened to be the last known relative of the long lost Hero!" His voice became snarled in frustration, however he continued to keep his calm demeanor. "I was on my way here to meet with you when my men and I suddenly came across a very strange girl - yI mean, she was hylian and a very long way from home, and then thought to myself 'How strange! The girl looks identical to that of the hylian my ace had plucked for me!'"
"And then it suddenly hit me as I began looking through her things that she was carrying the very emblem of the Holodran royal family... and I then took note of her immediate distress when I mentioned my audience with you! So I will ask you again, one more time."
His eyes burned with a careful glower, taking note of the soldiers that stood to the sides of their presence, but he remained still and without reach to his weapon, showing that he would not attempt attack.
"Just what exactly are your relations to Hyrule? Remember, my lord, I do not like liars. And should you withhold the truth, or attempt to bend it, consequence will follow on a beautiful young woman who is now back in my possession."

This wasn't really something that Eleazar did, however he made the exception due to Holodrum's neutrality in the war. With Labrynna becoming hostile and Hyrule scattered military wise, there was reason enough for why he would never meet personally with these people. Holodrum, on the other hand, had the potential of seeking benefits to both sides if they were to talk with complete amnesty.
And while negotiating peacefully wasn't something that Eleazar really did, he was willing tgo test it out to see the end result. He was not a man of his word, and he realized that the King may have armies prepared in the event that Eleazar were to ambush, but for once, he had kept to his honesty. He arrived on horse, with only two guards flanked to his side for precaution.
Should they die though, his newfound power would prove to be useful, if Asthar had intended to try and get an easy kill.
As the three came into view overhead, he made note of the several guards that had arrived with the King. It appeared that he too, was willing to risk the dangers of the two of them meeting. Their first step into trust began.
They came to a halt ten meters from the small Holodran troop, before Eleazar had dismounted his horse and began to stride into the small encampment. There, the King sat upon a chair within a baldachin glittered with jewels and fancy decor. He was quite illustrious for his disposable wealth, but Eleazar found no interest in the idea of wealth and material things.
He stopped for a moment at the entrance, locking eyes with the hybrid King, before nodding in silence and letting his hands rise up and to the sides - the two guards beside him slowly removed his robe, revealing a more appropriate travel attire, before he then stepped in, taking a seat at the chair across from Asthar.
"So what, may I ask... implores a powerful King to seek an audience with a banished prince? You've stayed neutral through all of the battles thus far despite your apparent alliance to both Hyrule and Labrynna. May I ask why?"

APPROVED
BY THE GODDESSES AND ALL THEIR CREATIONS
ASHUR HAS BEEN ACCEPTED!
Everything looks good! You have been accepted and may begin your journey in the RP. Please remember to post in the FACE CLAIM thread, or else it may not get recorded.

PENDING...
PLEASE REVISE WHAT I AM ABOUT TO GO OVER~
ASHUR IS ALMOST THERE!
Hello, Hellson! I'll be checking your app today. Before we can send you off, there are just a couple things I need from you to revise your character.
ASHUR'S AGE IN ACCORDANCE TO RACE: I think we've spoken about this in the past when we were coming up with ideas for your character; If you plan to be half human and half Sheikah, you will need to bring down your age significantly. Half Sheikahs have the perks that allow them to see in the dark and through equal/lower ranked illusions, however they age like normal human beings. If you want her to be over... let's be generous and say 130 years old, she would have to be a pure Sheikah. They would also age like normal humans as well, showing signs of wrinkles and what not after around 50 years old.
PLEASE LIST AT LEAST 3 MOTIVATIONS: Maybe it's hard to read because it's all in one paragraph, but it seemed like it was all one big motivation that was explained in depth. I'd like to see two more separate motivations - and you don't even have to go into super big detail about them! Just a sentence will do, even.
PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS EXCERPT FROM YOUR HISTORY:
Ganondorf eventually arrived, less two of his guard, and announced that they had both found the Triforce, but also claimed part of its power, showing the proof on his wrist. Possibly a retcon for your history purpose, but ultimately uncanon to our story. If you take a look at our TIMELINE you will see the that Ganondorf did not ever get his hands on the Triforce. Link was sent away and found himself in Termina with the Ocarina of Time in his possession - meaning that there is no possible way for the entrance to be opened or broken into. Because of this, Ganondorf burned the city to the ground and did everything in his power to try to get the Triforce, but ultimately failed, and was banished to the Twilight Realm upon his capture and failure of execution.
PLEASE EXPAND ON YOUR APPEARANCE: Currently, we have a rule for a 300 word minimum on appearance. As it stands, yours is only at 91.
WHOA BUDDY, TAKE A LOOK AT THAT MAGIC ONE MORE TIME: FIRST SPELL: By pricking her finger and dragging her blood along the blunt back edge of her katana, wisps of shadowy tendrils wrap around the blade and imbue it with mystical power. This gives her the ability to use her blood she coats the blade in as a sharpening magic, to a degree that could cut through a fortified steel beam.
I'm gonna have to say no to this one. For a common rank spell, that is way too dangerous - that means she can cut clean through most weapons! And we aren't trying to break people's weapons. You can either revise this to have it do something to a lesser degree without damaging an opponent's equipment, or you may have to come up with something else.
SECOND SPELL: A drop of blood on her blade allows her to learn anything of the origin of that blood, with an alternate function used to search out where the current location of the source of that blood is.
This just seems a bit overpowered for a common spell, in my opinion. What about her blade allows her to know so much about a person based on their drop of blood? Especially for a common spell, it may be a bit much to know EXACTLY where they are, who they are, and so on. My advice would be to nerf this quite a bit. Remember! You can always upgrade it so that it can do this later on! I have no issues with that if that's the case. But for now as a common spell... perhaps she can tell what the race they are; how pure the blood is (are they a royal?), and of course, if you have already had contact/knowledge about this blood before, you would have automatic memory of whom it belongs to.
PLEASE DO NOT PUT 50 TRAITS IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN GRANTED THEM BY STAFF. Every character is to start out with 38 traits indefinitely, and you are gifted anywhere from 4-12 extra traits BY STAFF depending on your app quality. I was planning on giving you 12 despite this, but for future reference, do not assume it will be granted.
Once you've checked over these things, go ahead and let me know and I will recheck everything!
Eleazar Velyris was born to the King and Queen of the Sea Zoras in Labrynna, being the only child of many attempts to survive, and was considered to be the heir of promise. Many worshiped and praised him for his survival, seeing him, bringing him to a pedestal that could only be described as divine. The Zora people believed him to be a God among the Zora people because of his survival. [break][break] Because of the praise he received as a young child, Eleazar was consumed by megalomaniac delusions of grandeur, even though he was absurdly unskilled at ruling, making far more problems than he solved (though he was literally unable to see this and unapologetic for doing so). He was convinced that he deserved praise and utter devotion from everyone around him because of his purported royal blood. Added to what was an unstable personality to begin with, The King and Queen utterly spoiled and indulged Eleazar his entire life, resulting in him possessing a massive sense of entitlement, along with having no impulse and self-control due to getting whatever he wanted whenever he wanted it, which knew no rational bounds. His mother also outright told him that the world could be exactly as he wanted it to be, and this fueled his narcissism to an extreme. [break][break] From a young age, the prince had began to show bouts of anger and an unsettling amusement by the torment of others, often becoming violent with servants and those who did not give him what he wanted or otherwise wronged him, and many talked of their worry once he were to take the throne. The King and Queen had decided, after making careful planning that it would be best to send their only son off, since there seemed to be no remedy to his sadistic behavior. [break][break] Only a small child still, his parents had sent him off in royal carriage, stating that he would be attending a boarding school to receive a thorough education in political affairs and ruling. This was, however, proven to be deceitful when he was brought upon an orphanage in Hyrule. Angered by his parents betrayal, he vowed to crush them if he were to ever see them again, for abandoning him like trash on the curb. [break][break] While he learned very quickly that he wasn't going to get handed everything he desired whenever he pleased, he became more cunning, often manipulating and threatening the other children into submission. Because children did not get adopted very often, he had lived here for most of his life. When news had finally spread to the east that the King and Queen had adopted a new son to take the throne, he was baffled that they would allow a Hylian to take the title of prince over their own flesh and blood. [break][break] Through the anger and manipulation, there was one person who seemed to be able to see a softer sign that he barely knew he even had himself. It was a young girl named Samara his age, whom he had grown rather close to. She had been the only person in his life who he felt he needed not to manipulate, since she often came around on her own accord and showed his kinder side. He often talked of his great plans for the future, that he would one day come and claim his rightful throne, and she indulged in his fantasies. She, however, had gotten very sick when the two were only teenagers, and passed away. [break][break] The death of Samara had shaken Eleazar in a way, which he had not thought possible, however the one thing he had learned in his time of being close with her was that through trust and charm, he was able to persuade others to get what he want much easier than by force. He used this to his advantage has he began to gain the trust of others, talking of building a life for them that would have them worshiped and glorified, long forgetting their suffering and poor conditions of living in an overcrowded orphanage. [break][break] Because of his royal heritage, many came to believe the words he spoke and followed him blindly, saying that he would be a fair king to people all over, and that those who showed true valor in his stead would be rightfully awarded. Once word had been received that a hero had been chosen by the princess of Hyrule, he had often talked of creating his own force, known as the Rogue Order. A group of vigilante fighters who wanted to make a name for themselves. He generally avoided the affairs of the Royal Kingdom, not wanting to get involved just yet, often taking part in mercenary business and the black market. [break][break] He did, however, see a chance to finally turn the tidings of war, during the final hours of the War of the Gods. When the Hero had been struck down by the God of Fortune, he saw this as an opportunity to rise. The Triforce had been shattered, and a piece of the Triforce of Power seemed to appear before him, marking it a signal to finally build his forces. Since morale in the kingdom had already been considerably low with the suffering their people endured, he was able to persuade many that the newly appointed Queen was not fit for rule. Stating that he was a royal from Labrynna, he shined a beacon of hope to many civilians, stating his plans for retribution for her failures, and a salvation for a dying kingdom. [break][break] It had sounded quite promising to many, and so the Rogue Order had grown significantly in secret. Keeping their name low, but affiliating with many within the kingdom walls, they waited until they felt it would be most beneficial to properly strike on the castle. And on that day, hundreds of men pierced the castle walls and took a strike on the royal army. Many died, while others fled. But Eleazar himself, along with his five appointed generals had captured each member of the Royal Family, as well as their royal council. [break][break] Setting them on the floor execution style, with their heads bowed and hands behind their back, Eleazar talked of the punishment they deserved due to their failure to protect their people. That he was sent as the wrath of Hylians to allow them to die and let the kingdom be reborn in its ashes. He then, however, gave them the ultimatum. To surrender the kingdom to him, or to be executed on sight. Thinking of her family, Eleazar assumes Zelda had chosen to surrender to protect them. He then let them escape unscathed, only to then send his generals to seek them out and terminate them. Because they had escaped with haste, they were not found, and so the generals had stated that they were dead, to avoid punishment for their failure. [break][break] Eleazar then commanded that he be the new "King" of the Hyrule, sending a message to Holodrum and Labrynna, for that if they try and act against him, he will surely destroy them with his growing legions.
+ Gills and Fins: Zora are able to breathe underwater without the help of blue dye or a breathing apparatus. [break][break] + Swim Champions: All Zora swim at ease underwater. They are fast, able to fit in narrow spaces, and can outmatch any other race in the water at ease. [break][break] - Weak to Electricity: Zora are not very strong against electricity - especially since it spreads like wildfire in water. It can be fatal if exposed to enough, and they will take much more damage than other races. [break][break] BLIGHT SHIELD: A shield surrounds Eleazar, appearing like a crystal field, which will block attacks of equal or lower rank of the spell UNLESS IT IS LIGHT MAGIC. It cannot be pierced by any weapons, unless it possesses light magic, or is the Master Sword. [break][break] SABLE: A sword which he lovingly named Sable, it is made with rare ore only found in on Mount Cuccoo. [break][break] WOODEN MASK: A mask given by Majora to harness his true power.
