Characters

[Jack]

Can anyone remember characters from HA1? I need some NPCs' names so I can have them reappear in HA2.

[Master Goron]

Do you mean the characters or NPC's?

Basically, do you want people like Bagu, or people like Shiva?

[Jack]

Like Bagu, Huron the Rito, etc.

[Master Goron]

Ah, OK. Ummm... let me think:

I don't remember names, but there was the guy that owned the arena, his wife, and the general in the courtyard.

I do remember Anju though...  ;D

[Darth Wyndisis]

Colonel Hellinious, mid aged Zoran bar tender, Ruto mayor, Goron Merchant, Moblin Chieftain... I will think of more later.

Edit: Lord Bennington Hylos III was the hunter/arena owner's name.

There weren't too many more NPC's, right?... at least, besides the ones we created as time went on ^^. Plenty of those.

There's always Horsehead. There were plenty of random REF soldiers around in the crossings and things... and that one woman with the poison daggers who stabbed Bagu. Plus the nameless priests of Din, Farore, and Nayru, but that doesn't help any, hehe.

Oh, and if it's not necessarily names but just characters that you need, a lot of the shopkeepers (like the ones Wyndisis mentioned) were memorable. Particularly the fat fairy of the Skull and Crossbones, for one. North Castle Quartermaster (who we actually had a pic of in the old days XD). Assorted quest items shopkeeper. Etc? Can't think of any more...

[Jack]

Next point is who is planning to reuse their characters in HA2? I am probably going to use Rugger and Rhunim among others in NPC/backstory references. I would like to have a lot of inside "jokes" linking HA2 to HA1.

Oh, and I'll be keeping certain special locations built by players in HA2. For example: Wyndisis' Lighthouse, the Dent Family Farm, the Windmill on the road to Ruto Town, and some other places if I can think of them.

[Master Goron]

That sounds like it could be interesting.

I know I'm not, so you can do something with Shiva if you want.

For a building you might keep, Jack's Clock and Cucco inn from Bagu's forest was a pretty popular place of gathering. I can't really think of any other important places we created.

[weienw]

I can't really think of any other important places we created.

True, the Rising Pheonix (a.k. by other names which I don't remember) was kind of... obliterated. I'm guessing that all the player-owned houses would be done away with, since they weren't all that popular as time went on?

You're free to stick the rambling croissant man somewhere, if applicable. Probably (one of?) the only NPC's that I created that really 'posted' more than once. :D

Oh, another that popped into my head was the "Swimming Pool." It wasn't too long lived though... and I wasn't really following the talk in that thread, either. But it seemed pretty active for a good while. Just another possibility for death-mountain-related oasises.

[Darth Wyndisis]

I want to reuse Wyndisis, but he will be sort of an NPC controlled by me.  He is getting to an important point in his story, so I can't lose him.  If it is alright, I would like to have an account for my new character and another for Wyndisis.  

[Marin]

My new guy will have been trained(A little) by Marin, then Marin is killed beforre this game.

Next point is who is planning to reuse their characters in HA2?

After giving it a little thought, I'm 90% sure that I won't be using young-boy-cleric-Korind for Hyrule 2. Then uncertainty in it is mostly that the final subclasses talents haven't been finalized yet, and who knows? Maybe the healer position will be too tempting (I've always had a soft spot [more like a huge love] for support characters), or maybe it'll just feel like we need someone to be dedicated to healing, and no one's picking the cleric way. In that case I might reuse Korind--why make a whole new character who'll do the same job? He/she'd turn out similar to Korind in the end, anyway (unless maybe she was a 68 year old or summat, that might be different). There's a slight chance a somewhat older Korind would emerge with a different class altogether, but I'm not that much in favor of the "Yuna Effect" (thanks to whoever made that up...), in which Yuna appears with zero skills whatsoever in FFX-2 (the sequel to FFX), if you guys know what I mean.

Chances are that I'll have Korind appear in a flashback or two at most--some of you might remember what Korind's whole history consisted of (helping/healing random people). The new character just might be one of those random people ^^. Maybe he (she?)  gave Korind a pointer or two back in the day. We'll see. But in all probability, Korind is open for public use--he's pretty flexible, a roamer of sorts. So I doubt there'd be any clashes with history or anything.

Do you have an account list of all the HA1 players to help you know who else you can use for HA2 (Striker, Ronin, Vaneru, probably anyone who got to or almost to level 3 would be memorable to some degree)? And then there are plenty of 'famous' player-created NPC's... Kloak and Daggur for example, who might be expected to be found around the Clock and Cucco, possibly (that is, if Red would be okay with it). :D

[Red_Fury]

Oh, yeah. My girls. They were great characters. (If I do say so myself.) I wouldn't mind if they make an appearence. If Jack doesn't use them chances are that I will have them appear at some point.

I plan on doing similar with my character. He will be a guide of sorts for my new character. Teaching him the way of... well you can guess the rest. ;)

Sweet... so are we entertaining the idea of another top-qual roguish type courtesy of Red Fury? ^_^ Maybe something along the lines of when Red was 'evaluating' JackHP... can hardly wait.

Mind explaining in detail what the Clock and Cucco was/where it was found/and who these girls are?
