Current Characters at Luceti: N/A
Character
Name: Link (Hero of Winds).
Fandom: Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
Gender: Male. Amazing!
Age: Twelve, but very easily mistakable for younger.
Time Period: After Ganondorf's defeat. Instead of coming to floating in the ocean, he'll be in Luceti. Surprise!
Wing Color: A light green to match his shirt. Isn't that cute.
History: I have a history already written out for him! You can find it in its entirety 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 to speak, and this is the perception I have chosen. Instead, he almost always uses other forms of communication; expressions, gestures and body language, sounds (he can shout, scream, cry, gasp, etc) , among other things. This is not to say that he isn’t a boy with a lot of words-- he is by all means thoughtful and expressive, but his method of doing said expressing may not be verbal, and he still comes across as a fairly outgoing kid with a lot to show those he befriends.
One of Link’s main attributes is of course, his bravery: he is not frightened easily and confronts danger with a headstrong attitude far beyond his years, which of course makes sense because TRIFORCE OF COURAGE, and who wants to play a game where the main character is a wimp, seriously (unless you're playing Amnesia, in which case it's hilarious)? Even when Link is scared, it is never something that overpowers him in the end, and Link actively tries and succeeds in ridding himself of any cowardice obstructing him from his goals. He is an extremely strong-willed and thorough person, which leads people to believe he can be quite stubborn, and this is definitely true when the occasion calls for it (which is usually). He is not at all someone who gives up easily, and he always does absolutely everything he can to help people and accomplish his missions-- however, he is often called very reckless by Tetra because of his tendency to rush into the fire without thinking about the possible consequences for himself. Subsequently, Link is considered a very selfless person; willing to give up his own happiness or wellbeing for the sake of those he cares about.
Link is generally well-liked over all, as he is polite and humble in attitude, and he seems genuinely willing to aid people with little tasks here and there. He is a curious boy by nature and quite sweet, something that often attracts people to his presence, as well as the deep level of understanding he seems to develop as he learns more about a person. Thusly, Link can be very empathetic and doesn't have much difficulty comprehending the emotions and internal struggles of other people-- but this can also be a weakness, because Link can easily fall for a sob story as long as it is logical (or as logical as logic is in a Nintendo game) and strikes a sympathetic cord with him. It should also be noted that Link is very "sheltered" in comparison to pretty much... every other kid his age. He's never met another preteen boy in his life (besides Komali, but seeing as how he's not human and his culture is completely different it doesn't really count for much); Link knows very little about social interaction with them, so he treats basically everyone he meets exactly the same way. Also, the fact that he's lived on an island with the same 11 people up until twelve years old means he's probably never heard of basic shit like stranger danger: he never had to learn it, seeing as how everyone knows each other and there are no unfamiliar faces. As it is, it's just a widely held flaw of his universe for everyone to be way too trusting to begin with.
While Link still has a lot of the naïveté 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 terrifying monsters and killed those monsters, he's been nearly killed himself multiple times, and he's had to deal with a great amount of abandonment, self-inflicted and not. 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.
As a whole, Link is a very kind and very friendly child who is always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needs help, or a shoulder for someone to cry on. He is associated with the goddess Farore (because of his Triforce, obviously), though it is possible another reason he is identified with her is because of his gentle demeanor, similar to the nature she controls. It is definitely true that Link is also incredibly mature for his age when he is in a serious or dangerous situation, above all. However, he is still a kid, and has the occasional tendency to be a little childish: his gestures, noises and mannerisms are often indicators of just how young he really is.
And as experienced as Link is in life, it only goes so far for him considering his environment previous to this game, as previously stated. He's gained a lot of it from his travels on the Great Sea, but it still isn't a whole lot -- Windfall, the most populated island in the game, only had at the most 50 inhabitants. As you could probably tell, Link still has an EXTREMELY miniscule knowledge pertaining to large islands and not to mention actual land-land, and how big its numbers usually are. A village of 1000 would literally be unfathomably MASSIVE to him, so he'll likely be overwhelmed for a while once he sees how many people there are to interact with. Another example would be the fact that round-eared humans are very rare where Link comes from, the most dominant "human" race being the Hylians whom are known for their pointed ears (they also appear to be, for the most part, a little smaller in comparison). Therefore, Link really isn't used to being stared at for any reason besides his clothing, though he is used to being The Smaller One by this point as it appears he's fairly small even by Hylian standards. Either way, he definitely won't be used to any 6 footed giants coming his way.
Link is also ridiculously optimistic. He's very crafty at seeing the good side of people, and once he spots some goodness in someone he will latch onto it like a leech and never let go. He's amazingly gifted at bringing the best out 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 easily go to the extreme before he ever realizes that he's only hurting himself. Link makes himself very vulnerable to the people he loves, but that in itself is a representation of just how much trust he puts in them; he is deeply connected to that kind of thing, and trust is one of the most important things to him in any kind of relationship.
Strengths:
Physical: Link has some incredible physical advantages, though it might not seem like it at first glance. Two of his most notable ones are his quick dodging skills and extreme agility; he can jump straight over people's heads, it's pretty intense. His depth perception and aim are uncanny (which makes him a great archer), as well as his endurance, meaning it takes an awful lot to KO this kiddo, which people rarely expect, and on top of this he's got some remarkable fluidity in his fighting style, which is quite handy for close-range weapons like his sword. Finally, Link's also pretty flexible and can easily squeeze himself through small spaces, so he's got a good size advantage there -- what's more is he's even amazingly adept at balance; he can tightrope-walk like a goddamn pro, often with makeshift ropes like the one of his grappling hook. He even performs maneuvers at the same time, so really, Link is a lot more like a circus boy than a warrior when it comes down to it.
As for magical powers, Link has a few! He's got the wind waker, which lets him perform wind magic and some other strange things (god-mod abilities like changes day to night and vice versa will be nullified). He's also capable of combining elements with his bow and arrow to create fire/ice/light arrows, and he's able to glide on the wind with his deku leaf. Other than this, he's got his one magical sword attack; the hurricane spin, which momentarily turns him and his sword into a whirlwind of magically charged energy. All of this stuff will be havled in Luceti, of course.
Mental: Link is a pretty smart kid, overall, and he has a talent for solving puzzles, which makes him pretty clever. So basically, Link is more intelligent than the average twelve-year-old, and he comes off as far more mature most of the time, being as quiet and observant as he is. He's also pretty good at making maps and star-charts, as well as navigating with a compass, so he's got some sharpened sailing skills.
Emotional: Link has a great reserve of emotional strength. He's determined, stubborn and passionate about staying strong for the sake of others, which makes him steel-willed in the face of adversity. He will always fight until the end for what he cares about, and his incredible courage allows him to plow through obstacles most people couldn't even imagine facing themselves. Link's greatest strength definitely lies within his heart and how much he loves others.
Weaknesses:
Physical: Obviously, despite all of Link's physical advantages, he's also got one major flaw: his size. He's a very, very tiny child (not even 4 feet in height; he's a little bit above the height of the average doorknob), and without his weapons it's easy to overpower Link if you're able to grab a hold of him. Link uses very little physical force when he fights, so if he has no choice but to use it he'll get tired relatively quickly. On the note of his magic, he needs time to recover after using signficant amounts, so he's not a magical powerhouse or anything.
Mental: Link has his own dumb moments, and while he's not ditzy, his curiosity can get him into tight spots pretty often. Additionally, because Link is not very experienced with the world outside of his ocean with its little islands, there's a lot he doesn't know that most preteens do, so in that regard he's at a lower level than most of them. His education also consists of whatever his Grandma felt fit to teach him, so he's not gonna be whipping out any trigonometry or calculus, that's for sure.
Emotional: While Link's greatest strength is his love, it's also, predictably, his biggest weakness. Hurting the people he cares about is the easiest way to hurt him, and when something happens to them it just breaks his little heart. Additionally, while Link's love is what enables him to be so strong in the face of adversity, it's also what puts him in that position to begin with, and could someday prove to be his downfall.

First Person:
(Written!)
Hello. I am not sure if I'm using this book right but someone told me I am supposed to write in it. They said people would talk to me then. I don't know why I'm here but I think it must be that someone found me? Thank you for rescuing me, but I need to know where my friend is. Her name is Tetra! She has a bun on her head that looks like a swirl and she usually has a very serious look on her face (she says it's because pirate captains have to look serious). Also she might be yelling if she doesn't know where she is yet since it makes her look scarier.
If you see her please tell her Link is looking for her! Thank you very much!
Here is a picture of her:
Third Person:
This wasn't such a terrible setback, Link supposed. Yes, he'd woken up in a forest, confused and still pretty beaten up and missing all of his weapons, and he was clearly nowhere close to the Tower of the Gods -- and Tetra was missing now, and... he also happened to have sprouted wings on his back. But this wasn't so bad, not really, and he was doing a remarkable job of not panicking so far. Even with his slight weight he wasn't able to actually fly on them, but Link was kind of in a little much pain for that right now anyway. He didn't have a clue what they were actually supposed to mean, unless he was turning into some malformed Rito, and if that's what was happening to him then he could panic. But not now. Now he had to find Tetra, and make sure she was okay.
The first thing Link needed to do was figure out how to get out of here -- the forest, that was, not the place itself. Looking around, Link was alarmed to find that couldn't actually see it thinning in any direction; he'd been in forests before, certainly he had, but none of them had been terribly large either, and this... was definitely pretty big. He didn't have much of a choice besides setting off in in some way though, and he could hear the faint sound of civilization to the right of him if he listened carefully enough. Slightly unsettled by the lack of weight on his back (he'd gotten so used to carrying a sword and shield, it didn't feel right to him to be without it), Link pulled himself back to his feet and started off in a slightly aching walk in the direction of the sounds, the little book he'd found with him tucked under his arm and his heart racing a little harder than he would have liked.
