Some very important additions, I had no idea that conversation with Pharos existed but I actually adore it and think they really should've had Pharos interact with more of the main cast actually, he's such a little guy™
I need more people to write Aigis and Ryoji as friends, post-game or in some canon divergence au. They are made to be opposing forces, to clash for the fate of the world, but the purpose designated for them by their creators is not the purpose they chose to follow. They become friends in both because and in spite of what they are, because who would better understand their struggles? Neither is truly human, but they are both people. People who doubt their own humanity. They validate each other's struggles in a way no one else could, before affirming that yes, you are a person, you worked so very hard to be a person and I recognize that struggle and say that it is ok if you don't understand all the nuances of humanity right away, I won't judge you, because I am the exact same way.
Yes, Aigis initially saw Ryoji as dangerous, and he was, but I want them to grow past that. I want them to be able to look back at their first clash and think about how much they've grown since then. I want them to tell each other that the fact that they feel remorse for the lives lost is a clear sign of their newfound empathy for others, and that yes it's difficult, grappling with those feelings, but they should face them head on for the sake of those lost lives. I want them to come to see the other as one of their closest friends, the one they can turn to whenever they need.
Aigis and Ryoji should be friends, because they chose to be more than the enemies they were when they first met.
I will give a detailed explanation as to why Tidespring, the cat in my profile picture, could absolutely kill a man.
For one, Tidespring is the leader of the defense sector in the RP I'm drawing him from, meaning he is not only one of if not the best in combat within the selection of characters of this RP, he also has access to many others who could potentially kill a man as well. Not that he wouldn't do it himself.
Next, within my profile picture Tidespring is on his way to go pick up your daughter, because he has what the youth might call 'rizz' which deals extra emotional damage when he out-charismas you in every way possible.
He is also wearing human-sized shades in a human-sized car, meaning he is a human-sized cat. Tell me, in what universe is someone living against a human-sized cat that knows how to do a backflip. Did I mention he knows how to do a backflip?
Lastly, Tidespring has also already killed a man. Well, not man, their name was Wrenwisp and though it's not canon he absolutely did it.
reblog this if your icon could kill a man

Ok Wild's also given me some trouble because I could not for the life of me find a way to make her original. Like, BOTW/TOTK Link is already very original compared to other links, so changing their design feels kinda unnecessary. I tried to put em in a different outfit, but then I realized the botw/totk outfits are stupidly complex!! I just ended up hoping the metal arm is enough to make Beyond the Mirror wild stand out.

Hylian
The slayer of Calamity Ganon and the Demon Dragon, Wild's taken down his fair share of giant, malicious monsters. He's a bit of a free spirit, wanting to know absolutely everything about the land he first woke up in. As Zelda would say, Wild's got the spirit of a scientist, and they're more than happy to join in a quest that'll let them explore a completely new land.
I don't get it and am politely asking for explanation pwease
i am once again putting this opinion out there
This looks amazing!! I love all of them
I wanted the Minish to look a bit more mouse like and to have some more interesting variations for different habitats! I'll do some designs to show off hair/clothes/ect at a later point but these are just ideas for body types.
Ughhhh Wolf was such a pain in the ass to draw man, I think half of it is the pose I picked. Seriously, there were like 4 different sketches and I kept not liking the design. This one is ok, and I might stick with it, but I dunno. His outfit isn't very practical for fighting. Then again, neither are a lot of the others, but I think this one feels the least practical, considering it's a literally a tank top.

Hylian/Wolf, depending on form
A humble rancher thrown into a complex world of light and shadow, now bearing the marks of the beast he became in his adventure. The mirror of twilight still stands, and while the relations between the world of light and the world of shadow are tense, Wolf will do whatever it takes to keep this tenuous peace. He's going to protect his pack, no matter what.
Note! Wolf's design & personality are the most liable to change, I make no promises about this version of Wolf being the one in the comic
It's not plagiarism if I give blanket permission to everyone to write this if they want to! I would write it myself but I have... 16 WIPs including several longfics and I refuse to start another wip until I get a couple of em finished.
Ryoji Mochizuki palace where it's not Tartarus but actually a Cathedral.
Everywhere you look, it's dedicated to the Great Seal. Stained glass windows made in their image line the walls, statues carved into a familiar teenager hung by chains. Their story is depicted like a religious text, with Ryoji himself as the devil. There to trick the seal into pursuing the full moon shadows, to lie his way into being the seal's friend, to tempt the Great Seal away from delivering salvation to the world. It does not matter that Ryoji was missing his memories, that he was doing whatever he could to help his dearest friend, he was always a monster. One that was unworthy of the Seal's forgiveness, of their mercy.
Ryoji's shadow can always be found crying in front of a depiction of the Great Seal. He begs for someone to please take their revenge, to punish him for what he's done, it's all his fault, he killed the Great Seal, they would still be alive if not for him. He cannot let you take his treasure, he cannot let you take away his guilt. When you fight Ryoji, he appears as a grotesque replica of the Nyx Avatar. There is no more elegance, no more ethereal beauty to be found in Nyx's Appraiser, he is simply a monster.
Ryoji's treasure is the protagonist's evoker. A representation of how they fought to save the world, and how they accepted death to do so. Ryoji could not accept that death, so he clung to it. He clung to their memory instead of facing them himself, because he felt too much guilt.
Name: Ryoji Mochizuki
Location: Gekkoukan High School's rooftop
Distortion: Cathedral of Grief
drew him as skrunkleplush. i got the plush in the mail today it’s my favorite thing ever.
I've been doing a lot of sketching of this specific character, trying to get a design I like. Idk if I'm quite happy yet, but have some more Link
