Ok, I'm definatley have many of you as NPC's. But I'ld like to incorporate some personality into your characters. I want you all to come up with like 5 text lines taht reflect somethings in your personality. Maybe a helpful saying, maybe a rant about your character, maybe helpful info to the game. If you want to give helpful info and obviously don't know what to hint at haveing no idea the game world and stuff. I will place in the character's hint for you. You just tell how you go about hinting. *throws sheet of paper with clue at Link in anger* for example. or *tells secret about a treasure that he hid*(feel free to use these)
Some of you have no choice but to be in my game so if you don't come up with lines, I will. lol, but can't say I didn't give ya the chance to choose what ya said. If you get more than 5 or less it's okay, just about 5 so people can talk to you on multiple occassions/seasons. And rodak being the oldest might exist in both past and present lol! Or maybe you'll be a cow?
So example BILLY:
1) If tried to lie to you thinking what I was saying was lie, but the thing I told you turned out being true, did I actually lie?
2)I heard there's a treasure in (place) if you use a (weapon,bomb,shoveletc.), but I've never gotten out there to check it out. Wait...your not gunna take it before I get there are you?
3)What's up with your silly clothes?
4)When I was little I use to play with (name) at (place).
5)I'm having ember seed soup for lunch. It's the spiceist thing out there! ~~~~
Knowledge of the zelda world helps, also some of you can request or will be given titles like. Doan possibly the mayor, or if you want to be a shop keeper, traveling bum, kid in forrest, etc...

I would love to be a mayor. My idea would be to make me mayor of some town that Link visits, and I would give very obvious information about the town or surrounding areas, or hints that the player should already know. In doing so, I will be a bit annoyed with him. Something like: "Visitors here never take the time to read the rules, and they just go around doing whatever they want. If this doesn't stop soon, I'm going to have to ban newcomers from this town altogether." "That question has been answered before. Go search in the library and don't bother me again unless you have something new to ask me." "Some things I cannot help you with. Experimentation is often the key to true knowledge and understanding." "Good question. Here's a general idea of what you need to do... [add text that is slightly vague but points the player in the right direction]" "I would be out adventuring myself if I was not so busy with my learning, my job, and my lady at home." I hope you're catching my theme here (in case you're not, I'm creating a sort of Domain parallel). Feel free to modify what I've said as long as you keep the spirit the same. If you want me to do anything special, perhaps I could give the player the opportunity to change his costume color (= Domain name color). If the player has progressed far enough and has a good reputation with people of the village, maybe I could give him his own house (= Domain game forum). I think you could have some fun with this motif.

You are going to have a farm like Lon Lon right? I would love to be the owner of the farm, but I would be more of the spooky farm owner.
"They tell a tale that in the grave yard, if you play a song at old Captain Spartcheyes tomb stone, you may get to his treasure."
"If you want some milk, go ahead and play one of my cows a song."
"They say chickens can get dangerous and gang up on ya, if you bother them too much, proud animals they are."
"The fastest way to the next town is down that road, but I wouldn't go down that way, many haven't survived down that road."
Cant think of another because I need to finish getting ready for work. This sounds like fun though!

hmmmm...i gotta be the clown model, only blue and red instead of whatever the default color is, and i'd like to be a traveling "troubadour" or something.
as for lines...um, give me one that hints at a treasure (being that i travel and thusly hear gossip), and let's see what else...
"i'm really Harley the Clown in disguise...but i figured you'd want to use Smurf's name so everyone would know who i'm representing."
"you know what i've always wondered? what would happen if i went into Burger King and said...'have it my way? okay, how bout if you make it like the picture?'"
"you know how ever since they found out about the 'bomb in the shoe' thing you've had to get your shoes checked before getting on a plane? well what would happen if a terrorist hid a bomb up their rectum...and got caught...?"
"gas prices...you know what i'm talking about? you see, i've come up with a way to actually use that one tenth of a penny you save on each gallon. put it in a special bank account, and let it gain interest. after seventeen years you'll have about five dollars in there, and then you can buy another gallon of gas!"
... ;D...like doan said, feel free to change a word here or there, but "keep the spirit the same".

Doan's are good. Smurf, this is a zelda game, stuff should be a little more related. There exists no pennies, those would be rupees, and there is no gas. Try to think of stuff along the lines of zelda, they can be your own sayings, own style, etc.. but they must have some bearer to the zelda world. Otherwise my game's characters are just gunna look like fillers that make no sense and were added for the hell of it.
(everybody)Ask your self questions of the zelda world as to what would happen if, or how does that work, or isn't that strange that, etc...??
ex: "How come ember seeds don't burn a hole through your bag?" ex: "Where do find room to store all those bombs with you?" ex: I wonder what would happen if you shot an arrow through fire? ex: Where do octorok's get all those rocks they shoot?
or make a solution
ex: "Did you know that if you shoot an arrow through fire, it will start on fire?!" ex: "Did you know that your satchel is fire proof so ember seeds don't burn a hole through it"
you may also communicate lines from other people in the game!
"They mayor is sooo cool! He gave me my own house(board)!!!" "That stupid clown stole my underwear!"
Or you don't necessarily have to be a character at all, possibly just referenced throughout the game by other people, or an object or enemy in the game.
ex: "I heard THE FINAL RUIN is humoungously tall!!" TFR is a giant lol

I know nothing of these Zelda games of which you speak.
So I can't make any "appropriate" suggestions.
Make me a cow.
Or a fish.
Or a Cow - Fish.
Or a Fish - Cow.
Or a cow that smells like fish.
Or a fish that smells like cheese.
Ahhh, the power of cheese...
Support The Dairy Industry!
Peace.

Support The Dairy Industry! how bout steak? anyway... "i've always wondered why they call them like-likes when nobody, like, likes them. wouldn't hate-hates be a better choice?" "have you ever thought about the logic behind the gerudo reproduction system? i mean, if only one male is born every hundred years, how do they repopulate their species?" "hmmm...i wonder if you can milk Rodak for free by playing your ocarina in front of him?" and i guess we can replace the Harley the Clown line... "how do you manage to ride a horse with bombs in your pockets? isn't that dangerous?" assuming of course you're including gerudos, the horse, and like-likes. -the smurf

"hmmm...i wonder if you can milk Rodak for free by playing your ocarina in front of him?" Just so long as nobody tries to milk the clown I guess that's not too Adult for these boards... Another possibility, since cows are not easily made, is simply someone named Rodak who is totally confused. Sort of like my initial reaction to the ZTF Demo. It took my dyslexic mind far too long to figure out the basics of that menu. Or maybe he can not notice that the Like-Like is a monster and just think of it as sentient psychedelia, like I did. Or a cow. Or a fish...
