A place for me to put characters and plot information for my upcoming project.
Starting with the main character.
Name: Niflo
Alias: None
Alignment: Neutral Good
Affiliation: Hyrule, Sheikah Clan
Personality: Noble, stoic in the face of danger, and fiercely intelligent, Niflo is considered an outstanding Sheikah by most. He is steadfast in his duty to Hyrule and the royal family, obeying orders without question. He is rather talkative, and enjoys conversation and stories.
Unlike most Sheikah his age, he has relatively low interest in personal glory, and prefers to keep his work seperate from his personal life, and is consistantly bashful and evasive when his feats are commented on off the battlefield.
Despite being an overall positive person, he is particularly ruthless, caring little for fair play in battle. He tends to leave most of his opponents alive for formal execution, but he will kill to defend himself, or to halt a threat permenantly.
He tends to view citizens of Hyrule as his charges, and spends quite a bit of time performing odd jobs at their request, giving the Sheikah Clan a good public face.
Appearance: A Sheikah, Niflo possesses the trademark red irises. His ears are short, but pointed at the top corner. He stands 5'9", and has swarthy skin.
Underneath his right eye, he sports a white tattoo of three triangles in a tight row, with a semi-circle above them just beneath the eyelid.
His hair is dark grey, and kept tightly braided back. A long, slender braid comes down in front of his left ear.
His casual clothing consists of a dark blue tunic and pants, a brown cloth hat with a pair of copper metal pins resembling nubby horns, a cloak, and leather boots. He also wears arm warmers in which he stores his hidden weaponry, his sword on his belt.
Weapons: His personal weapon of choice is a shortsword with a curved, double sided blade with a small sphere of rosegold in the guard. He also carries multiple iron needles, a long and durable chain, and Deku Nuts in his sleeves to strike from a short distance away.
In addition to his personal weapons, Niflo has limited reign over the Sheikah's arsenal of weapons. He's known to use the Giant's Knife, a massive, single sided greatsword with a curved blade and white markings etched into the side, kept in a brown sheath.
Armor: Though he typically wears simple cloth clothing, he will sometimes don leather armor when he knows heavy combat is on the horizon. His armor is contoured to his body, and comes with a simple pair of cloth leggings.
Notable Possessions: Niflo doesn't have many things in his small house; most of his possessions are weapons. However, he does have an odd purple coin that he keeps with him at all times. He does not allow anyone to hold it or borrow it unless he's certain he'll die, and trusts the person enough to take it back to the Sheikah Tribe in his stead. Even mentioning it in public will cause him to end the conversation and leave.
Skills: Niflo is a talented physical combatant, and a valued warrior even among the powerful, mysterious Sheikah Clan. He often defaults to barehanded combat, utilizing his impressive strength to bull down and beat enemies into submission. His shortsword is more often than not employed as a shield to block enemy weapons so he can beat them down.
He is a talented swordsman, but he will sometimes use trickery, misdirection, or ranged combat. His chain has a small but heavy weighted end, which can strike with painful force. He has keen aim with his throwing needles, and will sometimes use Deku Nuts to blind, stun, or incapacitate foes, allowing him an opening to kill.
Like any Sheikah, he is versed in stealth and some forms of magic, and he can perform spells by drawing quick hand seals in the air. While he's outclassed by dedicated warlocks, he can create barriers, and sometimes uses water magic against enemies to gain breathing room.
He is a decent tactician, and as a Sheikah, he has authority to make decisions on the battlefield that can override soldier's standing orders in the absence of other leadership. However, possessing no formal rank in Hyrule's military, he cannot take over when a ranking officer disagrees with his ideas.
He's a competent chef, chauffeur, and butler, and is well adjusted to serving and speaking with Hyrule citizens, be them royalty or working class citizens.
In terms of base physical characteristics, he's said to have the strength of two men, and speed to match. His reflexes, intuition, and senses are sharp as a hot blade.
Motivations: To defend Hyrule and live his life to the fullest.
Notable Accomplishments: Enduring the rigors of combat training were an accomplishment in and of themselves, but he has been commended for his particular valor, briefly stalling a Phantom of Ganondorf. Though his barrier held, his arm was broken by the shade.
He's fought and prevailed alongside Hylian military forces, and even fought Odolwa, a powerful and insane warrior, to a standstill.
Niflo's most important distinction among his people is a closely kept secret; he carries the Shadow Medallion, given to him by the chief of his clan, Impa. It is unknown if he is the Sage of Shadow, or if Impa is simply trusting him with the artifact for safe keeping, but either way, the responsibility weighs heavily on him, and confirms that of all her available Sheikah, Impa places a great deal of trust in Niflo particularly, passing over stronger candidates like Agahnim, her formal champion.
