Hero of Time

Basic Information

Name: Link

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Grade: Never had a proper education

Looks:

He is about average height with shoulder length blonde hair that is almost always hidden by a elongated hat that droops off the back of his head. he also has extra long ears that closely resemble that of the steroetypical elf-like look with a small circle earring found on his right ear towards the bottom.. He has a lean but serious looking face with dark blue eyes. He also wears a long sword and shield on his back whenever he is out, fighting or not. His main attir is a green tunic and shorts with a white undershirt. He has however also been known to wear blue and red tunics but this is only for fashion and the tunics have no special abilities. Finally he is sometime found with a bow strapped to his back but is used less often than his sword. He is also known to travel around with a fairy like creature that seems to live in his hat most the time. It goes by the name of Navi and communicates telepathically. It is in fact condensed spiritual pressure of several lost souls that have condensed into a small being with one dominant consciousness. Although it cannot fight it can help him in battle but this greatly drain Navi's energy and so is used very rarely.

Rank: Special Human, part of the Kokiri Clan

Personality: He is generally very quiet and has been know to speak very little with exceptions for his name and one word answer to nearly any question is asked. However even though he is very quiet he is willing to jump into nearly any situatuion without thinking to protect the innocent. He has a very strong sense of justice and of rigth and wrong and does not fight or kill anything that he does not consider truly evil. He is also fiercly loyal and is very protective of his friends. Although he does not seem that emotional he can get quite fierce during battle and can be quite naive as he is shocked and surprised easily. He also seems very close to Navi, a fairy he accquired at a young age when some shinigami appeared in the world of the living and a stray spirit fairy had followed them. They seem vey close and talk often telepathically, along with helping each other in battles and fights. It is very talkativ if it wants to be and has a sarcastic side that is often shown. Navi is extremely intelligent and can guess or remember almost any ability after she has seen it only once.

Sexuality: Straight, but not looking

Relationship Status: Single

Human Special Ability Information

Name: Din's Fire

Description: Link strikes with his right palm the ground whuke channeling his power. WHen his palm strikes the floor a flame shaped dome explodes outwards from around Link. It is more like a wave so once the flame has passed there isnt really any fire inside, other than an extreme heat. The flames area a lot more concentrated the closer they are to Link and the further away they go the weaker they become. Also as the flames spread the ability becomes more easy to disrupt and stop completely. While casting Link is not completely vulnerable but is open to attack and acts slower than usual. This lasts really only 1 post as it spreads out over an area quite quickly and Link is free to do what he wants once it is set off. It has a cooldown of around 3 posts.

Name: Nayru's Love

Description: Link casts an opaque dome like shield around himself that is stronger at the start but slowly begins to disperse. At the beginning it is about powerful enough to deflect one or two strikes from a lieutenants released shikai. It is also attatched to Link so he can move freely, although his speed and reactions are slowed slightly but increase at the same rate as the shield disperses. To activate it he hits the floor with his left palm. This lasts around 4 posts, cooldown of 6 and can be used as many times as he wants in a fight.

Name: Navi

Description; This calls upon a small fairy that when active gives him greater insight into his opponents abilites. This only takes effect however when the opponent is using the technique or has already used it/Link has already seen the move. This allows him to act more quickly to the move or find a way to counter it. However if he does not have the strength or powers to block/dodge/counter it only really helps him guess when the move is coming. It can do this or it can either (only this effect or the previous one) greatly improve his accuracy and speed, allowing him to strike at weaks spots more quickly and efficiently. This only really comes into effect however should he be using his bow. He can only use Navi to understand and learn about his enemies abilites twice a fight and lasts only 3 posts, cooldown 5, and goes the same for his bow and finding weaknesses.

Name: Fire/Frost Arrow

Description: This causes his next arrow to be spiritually enhanced by Link's power and will cause a different effect depending on which arrow he uses. Also, although th arrows and their abilitie are relatively weak due to the size of the attacks, they still drain large energy and can only be used a few times each in battle. Both the arrow's abilities are instant to cast.

Fire Arrow - This in fact causes the arrow to travel faster along with leaving a blazing trail behind it. However the trail doe not burn but can be used more like a flare, giving off a red smoke, even once it hits its target. When it does hit its target though it explodes on impact, a small explosion, and much like the Din's fire effect, and can set most things in a close vicinity alight. This only really lasts one post but whatever it sets fire too lasts until it burns out, or is put out and acts pretty much like normal fire, just a bit hotter. Its cooldown is around 2 posts.

Frost Arrow - This causes no trail and also moves slower than the fire arrow. This can however be used in 2 ways. Once it hits its target, it freezes anything in a close vicinity, generally resulting in a frozen limb or freezing a sword/zanpakuto or shield should it get blocked before it hits its target. If a zanpakuto is frozen however it can be removed quite easily with enough reiatsu or just releasing into shikai. In shikai it would be less susceptible to being frozen. It can also be used defensively though, but this causes a larger drain on energy and take longer to recharge. This is used by setting a timer on the power in the arrow where before it reaches its target, it explodes with ice in a dome like shape, causing a temporary shield. This can however only be used for protecting an ally and can sometimes freeze part of the ally in the process. The limb stays frozen for around 2 posts unless the ice is removed somehow, and the frost arrow has a cooldown of around 4 posts. The ice shield however can last up to 5 posts, with a coolodown for 5 posts (this means he cannot use an ice shield for 5 posts, but he can continue to fire frost arrows as an offensive weapon.)

Techniques Infomation

Equipment: Bow - A longbow with a set of arrows that due to Link's strength and power are quicker and stronger than most arrows but only once they are fired. While being in the quiver or about to be fired they act much like normal arrows and can be broken easily.

Master Sword - An enhanced sword that is lighter, stronger and more powerful than any ordinary sword. It is in fact strong enough to take a direct hit from a Captains level bankai without shattering (however it would not last long agaisnt a bankai.) It is also enhanced to allow the user to be able to channel their power into the sword to create special effects or to make it slightly stronger or quicker.

Hylian Shield - A shield with intricate designs but strong enough to also take a direct hit from a bankai but would last longer than the sword would. It is large enough to protect a good portion of the body and can be enhanced by the users own power to be able to withstand spiritual attacks and to even deflect attacks from oppenents much weaker than the uer or the current amount of power being channeled into the shield.

Name: Enhanced Rolling

Description: Thanks to years of training and being in the presence of large amounts of reiatsu Link has managed to dramactially increase his speed for short periods of time while rolling in a certain direction. This rollling technique allows him to quickly travel and even quickly dodge incoming attacks. The problem with this technique thought is he cannot attack midway and there are only et distances that he can travel. He can however use his momentum to create an enhanced blow at the end of the roll, using it like a charge attack. The speed of the roll is said to be equilivant to an average 3rd/lieutenant seat officer shinigami.

Name: Expert Swordmanship

Description: Due to years of training Link has gained amazing sword fighting skills giving him an array of counters, blocks, strike and finishing moves that he can use in a deadly combo. He can easily change his style of fighting to accomadate his enemies and can fight on par with master swordsman with ease. However although he can ield a sword quickly, effectively and more powerful than most his actual speed is not as great as high level lieutenants and captains, along with powerful arrancars.

Name: Shield Master

Description: After years of training from a very young age Link has managed to effectively use a shield top block many attacks. He has also discovered a way of channeling his power into his shield and then using it help block agaisnt even spiritual attacks, however this is much more draining than blocking normally. He has also become adept at using both a shield and a sword at the same time meaning he can easily block and then directly counter an attack with relative ease and in one continuous flow of movement.

Name: Energy Sword Strike

Description: During this technique Link holds his sword out behind him while charging it with his own power. This is represented by an aura swirling around the blade. The longer he holds it in the more powerful it become, changing slowly from blue to a red colour when fully charged. He can unleash it much like a Getsuga Tenshou but on a much smaller scale and only close range or he can spin around sending a wide arc of energy in front of him or even in a whole circle around him knocking most enemies away from him. To fully charge takes around 1-3 posts depending on the current state of Link (eg takes 3 posts when he is injured or tired.) and has a cooldown of 3-4 posts. However, should anything touch the blade before he intentionally releases the strike it will either explode from the blade or prematurely release the strike.

History and RP Sample

History: Link was born into an extremely nomadic clan called the Kokiri, of spiritually adept humans who had decided to break themselves off from modern society. The clan would generally wander from country to country only setting up camp for a few weeks at a time before moving on again. They generally stayed within the areas of the world which were leat populated, and had been doing since the beginning, many years ago. After a while they had discovered ways of channeling their spiritual powers, and even discovered ways to create weaponry that would allow them to use this power even more greatly. The greatest of these swords and shields were the Hylian Crests and the Master Swords, which were handed only to the champions of their clan. Eventually however their numbers died as shinigami began sheperding the majority of the spiritual humans while the nomadic clan remained unkown and alone.

When Link was born he was born at the same time a new era began for this special clan of humans. For it was the time in that a group of banished shinigami had found them, and the 2 merged groups. The shinigami had left of their own accord in a way as they did not agree entirely with the Soul Society. The leader of the group was a man known as Hanji and became a revered sensei among the Kokiri clan. Although he could help them learn new powers from the shinigami, he helped them further focus their powers and abilities that they had already gained. Because Link was born when these shinigami had arrived, he had the longest time to train with them, and because of his abnormally high spiritual prowess, he quickly learned new and better abilites then many of his predesescors. However, not only did he train and grow with these shinigami, once they had arrived, a lost spirit fairy by the name of Navi had followed them out of the Dangai. When it arrived, Link was still very young, but the 2 bonded almost imeidately and become inseprable, which due to her abilites and memories became a very useful thing throughout Link's life. Navi also decided to take up residence within Link's hair, and then later his hat. They seemed very happy together, back when Link was younger, and in a happier time. However this peace and happiness would only be short lived.

After Link's 14th birthday, the day when he could officially become a Champion of the Kokiri, a large group of hollows had attacked and killed many of the shinigami along with many of the survivng members, including his parents, while injuring his sister. Although they mnaged to beat back the hollows, they had still taken drastic losses, including their sensei Hanji. Although as a child Link was generally quiet and kept to himself, after he had seen his parents die, and nearly his sister too, he became a lot quieter, almost silent expcept when he was fighting when his rage would take over slightly. From that day as well, he had bonded with his new weapons, and although he hadnt officially been given them, ever, he decided to take upon himself the Master Sword of Courage and the Hylian Shield of Loyalty, 2 of the most powerful artifacts that the clan had ever created.

After 1 year, although it had been believed that all the hollows that had attacked that fateful day were killed, it seems they had been incorrect, or at least, the leader had survived somehow. One night they attacked once again, albeit in smaller numbers, but they were much more powerful and looked much more human. However Link and the shinigami managed to defeat the majority of them, even if they did suffer several losses, they had to protect the clan. However this time, Link managed to hunt down and capture the hollows leader. He was a tall hollow, with what looked like only a fragment of his mask left, like a jewel on the top of his forehead. He called himself Gannondorf, and something about Lord Aizen, but Link was filled ith rage and anger at his parents murder, and afer a climatic battle defeated, and killed, the hollow. When he returned to the camp, many had died from wounds, but even so they had to move on, lest even more hollows were attracted by the blood and the battle that had began to settle in the air.

4 years after the hollows had decimated the shinigami and the Kokiri clan, Link, his sister and a small band of the clan, mainly elders, along with 2 shinigami were left. The 2 shinigami had decided to try and return to the Soul Society, as there was nothing left for them in the world of the living, and due to the small numbers of the Kokiri clan, they decided it was about time they rejoined modern society. However Link believed that somehow he had to try and avenge his parents, his sensei, and all the other clan members. He wanted to contiue fighting hollows, he wanted to help protect the innocent, and he wanted to help the Soul Society. And so he and the only people he had ever known began to part ways. He began to travel, and due to his solitude he become more and more quiet, but he also become more and more loyal and protective, and because ofthe long periods of time he was by himself, he reflected on himself, and the rage and anger left him, filling him with a sense of justice, and protection. And after 3 years, although he had tried so hard, fought and protected for so long, the shinigami still eluded him, and he had never found, the Soul Society.

RP Sample: The wind began to rustle the leavse withing the forest. It was night and the lights of the nearby mountain village. Link was sitting on a tree, watching and waiting for it to happen. Although he was young, his mind was sharp and he had planned this out thuroughly. He lay there in the branch, when suddenly a glowing character appeared. She began to wander away from where she had appeared, and walked towards the village, sorrow on her face, as she began to cry and tremble. She was a spirit, and she had died a few days ago in a car crash. Link watched as she fell to her knees, confused and not understanding what was going on.

Thats when a dark shape appeared, black shadows curling around some monstorous form. It appeared behind the girl, silently, causing a looming shadow to grow over the girl. However she was too distraught to notice, or even realie what was going on. The monster began to lift a clawed hand towards the girl. By now Link was sitting upright and had his sword drawn and his shield on his arm. He crouched down and watched silently. As the arm began to get closer to the girl he couldnt wait any longer, and so he launched himself from the tree, letting out a roar of defiance at the beast as he swung his sword down through the monsters arm.

A he landed he went into a roll and lifted his shield over the girl as the monster reared and roared in pain at the loss of his arm. Link stood his ground and was not afraid of the monster, this soul devouring monster they had called a 'hollow'. He glanced bakc at the girl who was now even more distraught and even more afraid as she backed away from him. Link smiled slightly as he turned back to the hollow and held his sword out behind him. As he did this, it began to glow as a blue aura began to swirl around its blade. Once it had turned crimson the monster charged at Link in anger and rage. Once the hollow had reached Link however, he simply swung his blade down with a huge force and a crimson wave blasted forwards, slicing the hollow in 2 before it began to disperse and fade away.

He turned back to the girl who was stunned, she had even stopped crying. He was glad. It was enough, it was enough to know that he had helped someone survive, soul or living. he didnt need a thank you or reward. He was a silent protector, a forgotten guardian, an unkown hero. But it was enough, to know, he was helping, he was helping those who needed it, those who had lost something dear to them, those, who were like himself. He turned, and put away his sword and his shield and walked away. A shinigami would arrive soon, and he couldt help the soul, but there were others out there, that needed his help. And as he left, his companion, Navi, flew out of his hat and hovered by his side, producing a comforting hum as he walked, communicating with each other telepathically, only to themselves.
