[ Player Name ] : Endless [ Personal DW ] : anendlesssong [ Age ] : 21 [ Timezone ] : PST [ Other Characters ] : Dhaos (fistfullofmagic) | Tales of Phantasia
[ Character's Name ] : Ganondorf [ Character's Age ] : likely literally older than dirt (at least 300, though probably older) [ Series ] : Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker [ Canon Point ] : Post final battle, after he’s been stabbed in the head and turned to stone
[ Personality ] : Long, long ago, there lived a man known as the King of Thieves. He made his home in the desert, along with his people, the Gerudo. Life in their desert home was harsh; the days were blisteringly hot and the wind brought great sandstorms. The nights were hardly better, offering a deep cold that seeped into the homes. This troubled the King, for nearby Hyrule was covered with lush greenery, the wind neither hot nor cold, the people able to live peacefully. Why should this be so? Why should every day need to be a struggle for survival? Why should his people be forced to steal when much of Hyrule lived in comparative luxury?
His concern for his people blended with a resentment for those who knew not what they had… and a desire for power.
After staging a coup against the royal family of Hyrule, he gained the land he sought, and through cunning, even the Power of the goddesses. …And for seven long years, the King ruled as a tyrant consumed by the power and the hatred of a being long forgotten reborn into him. Many of his own people did not wish to follow him, so dark was his reign. One day, a hero rose to fight the King of Evil, and banished him from the world of light after a great battle.
…Time passed. The King, thought sealed for eternity, rose again. His armies of dark creatures brought the people to despair once again, though there was no hero to save them this time. In their last desperate hour, a few people were sent to the highest peaks. In a last effort, the goddesses flooded the kingdom, sealing it and the dark king under a vast sea.
Ages passed, and both Hyrule and the king both were all but forgotten. Long did this allow the one once known as the King of Thieves to think on his actions. He reflected, and saw that he had gained nothing from destruction, from terrorizing others. He felt the sorrow and loneliness that was brought on by having lost his people to the sands of time. A part of him still wished to rule, but it was tempered by the knowledge that death gains nothing. It was thus that when he broke free and rose to the surface once again, he sought not to destroy the world above, but rather to free the world below from the vast ocean. Perhaps then the people would be grateful, would willingly accept his rule. And so he sought out she who bore the Wisdom of the goddesses. Not knowing her location however, he sent a great bird out with the instructions to retrieve any girls with ears that ended in points. This worked two-fold, for he knew as well that this was sure to lure out he who bore the Courage of the goddesses.
Alas, when he had finally managed to gather the other two and once again unite Courage, Wisdom, and his own Power, the single wish granted to the one to touch the united force was stolen by the last King of Hyrule, who chose to forever bury the kingdom at the bottom of the sea. In a last fit of madness driven by fury and despair, he challenged the barer of Courage to face him in a final confrontation. …His last action upon losing the duel is to give an ironic sort of grin, even as he turns to stone.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] : The only things that can actually kill him are the Master Sword and Light Arrows, though other things can injure him. Of course, he just shrugs off most damage due to the fact that he’s quite decidedly a Lightning Bruiser, and has the added bonus of being pretty smart too. He’s got major issues with pride and rage, though he’s got a better handle on them than he did when he was younger. In addition to his physical powers, he’s quite a powerful sorcerer.
[ Other Important Facts ] : Ganondorf is a whopping seven and a half feet tall and built like a linebacker who gained a bit of...extra padding as he grew older. He’s also rather skilled at playing the pipe organ.
While the rest of the application is good, we would like to see a revised personality section. Your current personality section reads more like a history than a personality; it tells us what shaped him into the person he is today, but not much about what kind of person he is.
If you'll respond to this comment with your revisions, we'll look them over ASAP. You have until 7/6. Thank you!
By the time he arrives in Vatheon, Ganondorf will have lost much of his drive, what with everything he’s worked for having been snatched away from him at the last second, getting stabbed in the face, and turning to stone. He’s a brilliant fellow, fantastic at planning and strategy, and rather good at adjusting his plans on the fly to get what he wants in the end (save for in the face of certain spanners in the works). He is not as given to bouts of fury as he was when he was younger, though his temper is far from gone. When he does get angry enough, he tends to limit that anger to the one who incited his fury in the first place as he’s found taking it out on others really doesn’t help. Interestingly, he does have a code of honor that he’s adhered to throughout the ages, short as it is: females are not to be killed, and unarmed combatants are to be given a chance to rearm themselves. At this first moment though? He’s mostly a tired, lonely old man who has lost his taste for death.
For the most part he finds his minions hopelessly dumb and cares little for their safety. What should he care for monsters that fail miserably to keep an unarmed child from sneaking into his fortress? For most of them he expects so little of them anymore that he hardly becomes more than annoyed at their failures. For minions he does expect more of, especially those he created himself, he gets quite irate when they fail, though yelling would do little good in those cases as death is generally the condition for failure. Otherwise, he pays little attention to what they might do when not fulfilling whatever task he has assigned them.
...Also, I noticed that I neglected to put in that while he can turn into his alternate beast form, that power will be stripped from him in Vatheon.
