Name: Linkle (Born as Link)
Species: Hylian
Age: 22 years old
Gender: Male (Crossdresser)
Physical Appearance:
He stands at around 5'1". Besides that, he looks like above.
Background: Linkle was born as Link in a remote small village, being named after both the hero of distant past and the current Champion of Hyrule. His parents were Cucco shepherds and often made their son aid them on the farm. Being named after a famous Hero didn't help Link much, as many of the other children in the village bullied him for his small stature and physical weakness. Instead of playing outside, he instead devoted his time to learning and reading, under the tutelage of the reknowned wizard Cycleon. The technology he'd bring to the village left Link in awe, inspiring him to some day acquire the technology himself. Cycleon also recommended Link to Hyrule Town's university.
When he left his village to get educated at Hyrule Town's university, Link devised an ingenious plan to avoid getting bullied. He would dress himself as a girl and go by the name of Linkle. And so, he lived in Hyrule Town as a student of the university. However, it turned out that the tuition was too much for him. So, Linkle resorted to some...unorthodox means to gain money. In the seedy taverns of Hyrule Town, the student would offer himself to Gerudo women during the night in exchange for rupees. Despite his feminine appearance or perhaps because of it, he soon became popular among the Gerudo who visited Hyrule Town.
Despite this night life, Linkle was actually a good student, performing well in the alchemical and magical arts. He also started to grow interested in the technology being developed, especially when it came to weaponry. In a way, the student became a bit of a polymath, even if his late-night escapades make him sleep in class frequently. Still, the university has grown weary of Linkle's sleeping issues and eccentricities, even threatening to expel him if he doesn't change his behavior. This has grown to be more of an issue when his true gender was revealed, with Cycleon being the sole reason that he wasn't immediately expelled.
So now, Linkle is at a crossroads of his life, where all the work he had done for his future is at stake. Will he be able to balance getting his tuition paid with his academic work? Will he find more to his life than booze, sex, and books? Will he be able to get the firearm that he desires all so much?
Relevance: I don't really know. He's just going to be dragged along by the events happening around him.
Skill Set:
Knowledge: Linkle is exceptionally literate by the standards of Hyrule, being a university student. He knows about the land's history. Additionally, Linkle has a fascination with the technology being developed in Hyrule Town, even if he really isn't specialized in actually creating said technology.
Crossbow: Linkle is a decent shot with his crossbow. Though he wanted to get a firearm, the laws of Hyrule Town combined with the expenses made getting a gun impossible for him. Linkle's crossbow is light-weight and easy to reload, though it lacks in firepower unless the bolts have bombs or magic attached to them. However, Linkle is too physically weak to operate larger crossbows, and he has no skill in using bows.
Alchemy: Linkle's specialization is in his alchemical skills. He can create potions from a variety of ingredients, the effects of which he has memorized. His skills even extend to cooking food and brewing alcoholic drinks, the latter of which he is addicted to. He also can poison his crossbow bolts.
Magic: Linkle has basic magical skills, being able to cast weak spells. He is particularly good at enchanting equipment such as his crossbow and bolts. The spells themselves vary quite a bit, ranging from basic fireballs to casting a light to help with reading at night.
Cucco Herding: Linkle knows how to rear Cuccos and to herd them due to his parents teaching him how to. He could theoretically rile them up to attack others.
Drawbacks: Linkle is a physically weak individual, which limits him on how much he can carry. He also has very sensitive skin, both from pain as well as from the sun. Linkle also is frail. This is also compounded by his cowardice.
(I hope this is good enough as an application. I can try to expand his backstory if you feel like there are any holes in it.)
