The King of Thieves was captured in a failed attempt to kill the Hylian King and usurp the throne. As punishment, he was ordered to be executed by the Ancient Sage spirits, but as this order was carried out, through some divine jest, the evil Gerudo was gifted with the Goddesses’ power and revived.
Breaking free of his restraints, the dark lord drew the weapon of his demise from his chest, his vile laugh filling the air as he prepared to kill his executioners. However, this short moment of reprieve was the King’s downfall, as the Sages managed to open a portal to another world behind him. The void the portal created began to pull at him, slowly drawing him towards its depths, proving beyond even the Goddesses’ power to prevent.
The last act of the King of Evil before he disappeared from time was to launch the Sage’s Sword into the portal’s originator, piercing the very center of the Mirror of Twilight, but this proved to be worthless, as the damage was merely superficial, and the blade was quickly pulled into the void with its new owner…
The world has since lived in peace, battles and wars are small and short, fights becoming a mere training exercise of caution. People remain alert, prepared, but relaxed and comfortable.
Unfortunately, as with all things... peace cannot last forever…

RACES, « Thread Started on Dec 20, 2008, 11:14pm »
These are the races we are allowing at Requiem of Twilight, spanning across quite a few Zelda titles. We have altered a few of them slightly to expand their playability, but please note that almost everything about these creatures is still the same as in the games, even if not included in the descriptions below.
Also, all Racial Abilities, mentioned or not, are automatically counted when you make a Character of that Species, so don't worry about including them in your Character Sheet~
For more information on Races, feel free to check the various Zelda Wikis: CLICK-CLICK-CLICK
There's benefits to being some of the "Rarer" Races on the board too, check here~
One last note, please keep in mind, the "Fantasy Reference" is just to inform members of what Fantasy races the Zelda ones are similar to, whether it be cultures or simply resembling them appearance-wise.

Please note, you can have any adaptation of the above Monsters from any Zelda game, save Boss and Mid-Boss versions, which must be specified in the CS, and that all abilities, strengths, and weaknesses of the chosen Monster and your preferred adaptation of it are automatically applied to your Character. Lastly, even though they are all considered Monsters, they can indeed be Good, Neutral, or Evil, it is your choice what path they take.
Poe
When a Character has been killed and the Member wishes to do so, the dead Character may become a Poe. Poes are spiritual beings and thus, while maintaining their living appearance, cannot be physically touched. They are unable to use their weapons or items, but can still use their Magical Abilities, however, this is also their downfall as they are able to be harmed by Magic. Unfortunately, Characters are unable to take part in any Special Threads (Plot-related or Side Quests) while they are Poes *unless* they have 50 Posts. If the killed Character has a post count of 50, or gets to 50 as a Poe, they can be resurrected, but if they are killed while still a Poe, it is a permanent death unless they have 100 Posts.
1. Ethereal and Flight: This ability is 100% natural, and thus doesn’t have any Cooldowns or requirements to use it. 2: Invisibility: Poes can become invisible to hide themselves better. This can be maintained for up to 3 Posts, with a 2 Post Cooldown for each Post.
Fantasy Reference: Ghosts.
Half-Breeds
Concerning Race Mixing in this RP:
Allowed Hybrids: Hylian, Human, Minish, Fairy, and Gerudo.
While all Races are allowed to date and be intimate with one another, only the Allowed Hybrid Races would be able to have children together.
Please note, those who decide to make Hybrid Characters must pick ONE of the two Races to be the Dominant Gene.
To clarify further, when people make a Hybrid, they pick one of the two races to be Dominate and they get all their Magic capabilities from that side; meaning of they are Human/Fairy, they either get the Human's 5 Magic Slots or the Fairy’s Racial Abilities, they do NOT get both half’s racial abilities together.
However, Physical Appearance can have bits of both Races, that isn‘t a problem in the least. One can have a Minish/Fairy with mammal parts and fairy wings, people can mix appearance traits of the two Races, its just that you can only pick one species' Racial Abilities.
Unfortunately for Gerudo Hybrids, while their Fathers may be another race, and actually technically have to be, the Mother's Gerudo's Genes completely overwrite the other Races‘, thus making all Gerudo 100%, no trace physically or magically of being a Hybrid at all no matter what the other Race is.
As for those who want to have Hylian Hybrids, they shall be treated almost identical to 100% Hylians when it comes to making them; including the Special Character Number Restriction and Hylian/Humans have the normal 50 Post Requirement, while other Hylian Hybrids have a higher 75 Requirement, but unlike other Hybrids, these people get both of the two Race' Racial Capabilities, as well as both of their Physical Traits. However, it should be noted that their magic won't be as strong as a Pure Hylian and that Hylian/Human Hybrids will only get 6 Magic Slots.
Winter has settled upon the lands and snow has been falling for awhile, will you choose to bask in this winter wonderland or stay inside all nice and warm? This is often the time for building snowmen and for children to play in the snow~
