"Three years. Three fucking years. That's how long it has been since the hero in green failed in his quest, and Arkanel was triumphant. Three fucking years since the Hylians last heard from their princess, and the other races were conquered as well. Three fucking years of tyranny. And what really pisses me off is that it hasn't also been three fuming years of resistance."

These are the words your characters heard as they met with the masked man who had asked them all to meet him at a secret place two years ago. What's most infuriating about Arkanel is that he only uses the monsters Hyrule has faced before as cannon fodder, or as elite troops, as is the case with Darknuts. Most of his forces comprise of the horrible products of his sick experiments on Hylians, Gorons, and Zoras(think Uruks, Olog-hai, that sort of thing), terrible, and ruined forms of life.

Here's the stuff you have to include on your character sheet, besides all the usual stuff.

Class: pretty self-explanatory. Here's a list of classes.

Strongarm- Up close fighter, with light-to-heavy armor and, often, two-handed weapons. This is the class which LoZ enemies like Darknuts would be in. The only class with no stealth skills.

Eagle Eye- A primarily ranged fighter using a bow, crossbow, or sometimes a sling as their primary weapon, with light armor and a dagger of some sort for backup.

Ranger- Striking a balance between Eagle Eye and Strongarm, Rangers usually use war swords(AKA bastard swords) and shortbows, in conjunction with light-to-medium armor.

Rouge- stealth is their game, diversion's their name. No armor, but highly skilled sneaks. They use daggers and throwing knives, mostly, and often carry items such as garrotes, bolas, and smoke pellets. Near useless in a direct fight, but can hold out long enough to escape and hide.

Talent: this is the one thing that your character is really good at, which isn't restrained by class. Choose wisely.

Why they're doing this: why does your character believe that the group can succeed where the Bearer of Courage failed?

Armor types

Light: think gambeson, leather, or loosely knit ring mail.

Medium: think regular ring mail, Japanese tatami armor or do-maru, or scale mail. The absolute pinnacle of medium armor is Japanese Edo period armor.

Heavy: think tightly knit ring mail, metal lamellar with three or more layers, European plate armor, or Japanese o-yoroi.

Here's a LoZ name generator: [1]

Name: Dasson

Race: Hylian

Gender: male

Age: he's never given it up...

Class: Ranger

Talent: Swordplay, meaning he's as skilled at close range as a Strongarm.

Background: you all suspect he's a former member of the Hylian Royal Guard, but he's never confirmed it.

Weapon(s): War sword (not blunt!) and a longbow he made himself.



Armor(if applicable): this  will show you all the nuances of his armor, and  this  will show its capabilities and educate you on its practicality. This kind of Samurai armor is the strongest in the medium class.
