My D&D Characters


Akano

So, recently I told you all that my brother, KK, has come to stay with me this summer and that we've started a Dungeons and Dragons campaign in the land of Hyrule, set some 50 years or so after the events of Majora's Mask. We recently just dealt with some undead necromancy in the Kakariko graveyard and are waiting for orders from the King of Hyrule on where our party will travel for our next mission. KK has also gotten me into the wonderful webcomic The Order of the Stick, which lampshades and parodies the Dungeons & Dragons universe and gameplay. I have since made my player characters in the style of OotS's comic design and wish to share them with you, my lovely reader.

 

Atlov

Atlov is a Hylian wizard who specializes in the Storm Domain (bonus points to those who figure out where his name comes from). He aspires to use his wizard talents as a servant of the Royal Family of Hyrule.

Stats

Lawful Good, Level 2 Wizard, 12 HP, AC 12

Str: 10

Dex: 14

Con: 15

Int: 16

Wis: 14

Cha: 13

 

I'm planning to take a level in Cleric with Atlov after I get my level 2 Wizard spells, since it will give him a nice diversity and allow him to heal himself in battle. He currently worships Nayru, but I think that will change, a) because the Hyrule campaign thingy we're basing our game on doesn't give Nayru many good Cleric domains, and b) because while Nayru is the goddess of wisdom, it may make more sense to worship Hylia (since he wants to serve the Royal Family) or not have a preferred deity (since he may feel that they're all equally important).

 

Ralu

Ralu is a Zora bard from Zora's Domain. He enjoys traversing Hyrule and gathering new stories to tell through the soothing tones of his fish bone guitar. The diplomat of the group, since his Charisma is out the wazoo.

Stats

Chaotic Good, Level 2 Bard, 15 HP, AC 13

Str: 11

Dex: 11

Con: 16

Int: 15

Wis: 9

Cha: 16

 

Zoras get a penalty to strength, and I rolled a bad Wisdom score, but fortunately he doesn't need it too badly. Ralu worships Farore, since he's Chaotic rather than Lawful (otherwise I would have had him worship Nayru). I haven't developed his character too much yet, so we'll see where I take him during our journey.

Nope, it's set in Hyrule at a time 50 years after the events of Majora's Mask. It'd be akin to saying, "this takes place in Europe 50 years after the American Civil War." The Civil War tells you when the relative time is, but in this case has nothing to do with location. The reason we specified that it takes place after the events of Majora's Mask is to establish that we are in the Child timeline of the Ocarina of Time three-way split. So, that makes our adventure between Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, closer to the events of Ocarina of Time.

 

And, I don't think I've gotten that far yet.

... Then why not just say 50 years after the events of OoT in Young Link's time? Or it could be "after Navi left Link."

 

I mean, Termina is in a different universe entirely, not only that but time was played with there severely over the course of the game.

 

While Termina was looping through three days, I have... doubts that time would have flown the same way in Hyrule.

 

Granted it probably only took, like two weeks for a child to save an entire world from destruction (which is a lot better than his previous record of seven years).

 

On that note, time has been messed with in both universes, but at different intervals, so really it's not clear how much one day in Termina is relative to Hyrule Standard Time. It's like in Digimon where they went back to the real world for one day and then when they returned to the digital world, years had passed.

 

No... this doesn't sound logical at all, good sir. =P

I dunno, that all just seems needlessly complicated.

 

Also, since the goddesses of Hyrule are the ones responsible for the time looping that Link invokes (Nayru specifically, or so it seems), then the time looping probably didn't cause the two realms to be out of sync.

 

Also, there are no Digimon in the Zelda universe, so that argument's out.

It is not invalid.

 

You assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.

 

On a TOTALLY UNRELATED NOTE, I love Doctor Who. =P
