Introduction
It is 300 years after the events of Twilight Princess, and 500 years after the events of The Ocarina of Time.
Hyrule Castle was bustling with activity, hosting countless creatures of all races for a hastily organized festival. When the citizens asked what the occasion was, they were given flimsy and overly simplified answers – to celebrate the nation’s prosperity, to honor its warriors, to show goodwill toward other nations – as if no one was quite sure why it was organized in the first place. Some thought it was odd that anyone would choose to hold a festival when there were a number of strange issues troubling Hyrule at the moment – many had to fight off monsters on their way to the castle, an issue no one had warned them about in their invitations. Still, there were a number of invitations sent to notoriously powerful warriors and leaders. In any case, the guests seemed to be enjoying themselves, engaging in competitions of strength in the courtyard and partaking of the feast that had been prepared in the great hall. Everyone was assured that they were simply there to celebrate, and they seemed to be doing just that.

Zora Branches
Unique to this roleplay is the presence of two dissimilar branches of the Zora race. Please take note that these two branches, though not at war with one another hold a certain racial distaste for one another due to a long standing feud.
Purebred Branch: Appearances follow that of the OoT/MM breed, retaining mostly fishy features and skin mostly of a blue with various accents of greens and yellows. Natural markings are always unique to whatever Zora that sports them. A very rare and valued variation of color is when a Purebred Zora is born with a brown pigmentation of the skin. This parallels the albinos found in Hylian genetics.
Note: Rarely Purebreds choose to wear clothing within their borders, and even outside they will not unless requested of them nicely.

Hybrid Branch: Appearance follows the TP!Zora somewhat, the majority of their populace descended from a joining between a Purebred Zora and the Western hailing Gerudo women, a few Hylian genes in the pool as well.
Because of the allowance of crossbreeding by this offshoot of Zora culture the somewhat foreign genetics lend strange colorings and inconsistent traits. Depending on the mix a 1st Gen Hybrid can appear mostly Zora or mostly whatever the other parents might be, though all Hybrids are born with the ability to breathe on land and underwater, and all adept swimmers from birth.
By the second generation of Hybrid genetics is purely dependent on whom the 1st Gen breeds with. If another Zora!dominated Hybrid is chosen the 3rd Gen offspring will appear mostly Zora and generally retain only the unique coloring that was brought into the union of their grandparent's genetics.
If a Hybrid chooses an outsider!dominated Hybrid then the outsider genetics will create a Gerudo/Hylian appearance with some Zora accents (such as scales, dwarf!ruffled fins on wrists and or ankles, and very rarely webbed fingers or toes).
Note: Due to unpredictable genetic traits most 1st gen Hybrids wear certain articles of clothing depending on which side of their genetic union their reproductive organs took from.

Sheikah Branches
Direct Branch: With the extended life span and youthfulness from holding her Sage position Impa returned to Kakariko Village and worked to bring back her race through not only teaching those who wished to join her but by over the years taking many husbands and having several children by them. The children's descendants form the Direct Branch of the Sheikah, the indication of their relation being purely through coloring, most only carrying the silver haired trait or the red eyed trait, it is beyond rare to find both in modern times.
Learners Branch: The learners branch are descendants of those who were taught under Impa during the revival period. The majority retain the Hylian coloring that their ancestors had but due to intermingling of genetics with the Direct Branch its not usual for the Learners hair colors to be a duller or lighter version or for their eyes to have flecks of red to them.
Note: There is no prowess difference between the Sheikah branches, only physical coloring.
Also most all Sheikah who are of age are employed by the Royal Family as shadow-guards and information gatherers.
Impa has been dead a minimum of 200 years by the time the roleplay starts, so none of the living Sheikah would have had contact with her.
