A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.
In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.
[CANON] Ganondorf | Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time | No Reserve
Far in Ganondorf's future, he tells a story. It goes like this: "My country lay within a vast desert. When the sun rose into the sky, a burning wind punished my lands, searing the world. And when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale pierced our homes. No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing... Death. But the winds that blew across the green fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and ruin. I coveted that wind, I suppose."
Hyrule is a land ruled by the Hylians. The Gorons and Zora pledge their allegiance to the Hylian king, as did the Sheikah, at least before their extinction. There is a river that runs through Hyrule--the very river that rushes below the canyon before Gerudo Valley. The Zora are tasked with purifying its waters as it reaches Lake Hylia and flows onward through Hyrule Field and towards the high walls of Hyrule Castle. Their jurisdiction, however, begins AFTER the water passes Gerudo Valley. The Gerudo of Hyrule are the only race denied access to the magically purified waters of Lake Hylia. The Gerudo, in their barren desert, freeze at night and swelter in the heat in the day, they suffer for want of clean water, they starve for want of pastures or arable land. And Ganondorf, the warrior, the sorcerer, the god-King, will change their fate.
And thus the game.
Abilities: Ganondorf is a mighty sorcerer, capable of great feats of magic even before he acquires the Triforce. (Note that he does not have the Triforce when I app him.) He can create destructive blasts of dark magic as well as lay powerful curses, plaguing the Greak Deku Tree and infesting Dodongo's Cavern, Lord Jabu-Jabu, and The Great Deku Tree with monsters. In keeping with his heritage, however, he is also a fierce opponent in physical combat, preferring to fight (as all Gerudo do) with curved swords rather than straight blades (the Hylian norm.) At 7'6", he is astonishingly strong and possesses immense stamina from years of harsh desert living, but he is also swift and very agile--he has no trouble keeping up with smaller combatants, despite his great size.
In addition to all this, Ganondorf is proven to be both intelligent and cunning. The Gorons are a massive, all-male race of rock-eating beings; rather than face them directly or wage a long war against them, he resurrects a monstrous dragon that once preyed upon them and feeds them to it one by one, simultaneously neutralising their threat and using their sacrifice as a means to cow the other races into submission. And when the Zora refuse to submit, he freezes over the Kingdom of the Zora, trapping the (and their king) under ice, where they can do him and his rule no harm. He's also skilled in deceit, pledging false allegiance to the King of Hyrule in order to infiltrate the Castle.
There are incidental skills too: he is depicted as capable of playing the organ, for example. And being Gerudo, Ganondorf can ride well and is presumably knowledgeable about the training and care of horses. That said, he also requires a horse that can actually carry him. Sadly, his terrifyingly huge steed will not be accompanying him to Ruby City.
First Person: Look at this test drive!
Third Person: The moon rose high over the desert. With it came the cold, deadly winds of night, the equally lethal opposite of the scorching heat of day. To the best of their ability, the Gerudo built with both in mind; thick clay walls helped insulate their winding structures at night and cooled the interior by a degree or so during the day. The wide windows, however, were a double-edged sword: they had no panes, allowing the wind to pass through--invaluable during the day, but at night, it exposed the Gerudo to the frigid drop in temperature that came with the sun's absence. It was easier to protect against the loss of body heat than it was to cool a heated body down, but all the blankets in the world could not protect the old, the sick, or the young from these deadly winds.
Hyrule, just across the divide, could not have been more different. Instead of hard baked earth, dry rock and shifting sands, the lush fields grew greenery in abundance, much of it untilled and fallow, inhabited only by Peahats and the nightly hordes of brittle Stalchildren. Their water, blessed by the Zora, ran quietly by the fields instead of in a deadly rush far below.
He coveted it, yes.
But he also hated it. A bitter tide of rage lapped at him, his desire to claim those prosperous lands for his people matched only by his desire to see its people suffer for their happiness. Their ignorance. Their fortune.
But with patience, it would be his. The people of Hyrule would see their King fall. They would know his power. They would bow before him, fear him, respect him. He'd heard it said that Hylians had pointed ears so as to better hear the voices of the gods.
If so, it seemed those gods had no interest in warning their favoured people of his coming.
Or perhaps they just weren't listening.
