you;
name; Rhyme

contact information; PM. 

other characters; Rhyme


basics;
name; Shadow Link

age; Unknown. He looks to be about 17. 

occupation; Making life hell for Link, terrorizing anyone and everyone he can find 

race; Hylian


in depth;
appearance; 
Shadow Link holds a direct contrast to his other half, Link. Where Link radiates with light, Shadow Link radiates with darkness. His hair is a dark silver-grey, while his eyes radiate a more sinister crimson gleam. Instead of having warm-toned tan skin, his is a drastic white from a deprivation of sunlight. The pointed ears of a Hylian are easily spotted on him. His tunic and long cap are a deep black, while his leggings are grey and his boots and  gauntlets are a simple brown. The shield he carries is a deep blue, with a black border and accents- the Hylian Crest is crimson, while the Triforce above it is a metallic gold. His sword is an exact replica of the Master Sword, but it radiates the energy of the darker side of Link- the hilt is a dark navy instead of a bright purple, while the blade is as clear and crisp as always. The sheath he carries on his back is a dark shade of a rich teal, accented with an equally muddled shade of gold.

personality; Honestly, Link's doppelgänger is nothing like his other. They share in common their cunning, quick wits, strength in heart and body, appearance. But that's where their similarities end. Shadow Link is just that- a shadow. A being of darkness, craving the opportunity to destroy. Bloodshed delights him. Destruction, pain, misery... they all make him feel whole. Everything that Link builds up, he breaks down- everything that he builds up, Link breaks down. It's a neverending cycle of good versus evil. It's not his fault, really. He's the darkness expelled from Link's heart, with absolutely no light penetrating that blackness in his chest. He just wants to destroy and tear down every wall that people put up to protect themselves. Shadow Link wants them to feel vulnerable and weak. He wants them to lose it all and break. 

history; One word to describe Shadow Link? Malevolent. 

His whole past was composed of confusion, anger, mixed feelings. Things didn't make sense. Hell, things hadn't ever made sense, really. Shadows weren't supposed to break away from their masters. They were bound to them, doomed to follow their every movement for a lifetime. Watch over them, every day, every hour, every minute. But Link's shadow... he was a different case. 

He had a mind of his own. 

He could think on his own instead of simply following Link, tracing his every move, simply an outline that shifted and swerved depending on the position of the light. No- that wasn't the case. He was able to break away, to be his own being. Sure, he was identical in looks to Link, though the details were reversed. His attacks mirrored his döppelgangar's, so a fight between the two of them would take quite a time to finish. They were equals. Even if one was just... just a copy. 

He gained energy and slowly began to become stronger. He could break away from Link and fight, with a copy of the Master Sword and Hylian Shield. His strength and drive to fight equalled that of Link's. And the first time he truly broke away, no longer bound to his master... well, he wasn't quite independent. He still appeared as a shadow. His features were cloaked in an absolute midnight, save his glowing red eyes. The shield and sword were pitch black, but they held the same strength. The copy, the shadow, had risen. And his soul wouldn't be sound until he was free. 

Fights continued. He broke away from Link, fought him, was forced to take his place as a follower once more. Most displeasing. On occasion, Shadow Link would sneak away. He would break free, with no indication of his sudden disappearance. And, saving the world and all, Link never really noticed. His darker half, expelled from his heart when the Master Sword was pulled from its sheath for the first time, never melted back with its original. He continued to fight back, grow stronger as Link did, memorize the fighting patterns that brought so much success to the hero. The hero he envied for being his own person. The hero who made the darkness in his chest swell and stir as it became larger and larger. 

Finally, finally, he broke away. He was free. Completely free from his light-lover of a twin. Shadow Link's features had finally become crisp, clear, completely his own. His face and body were exact replicas of Link's, but the features differed. His paler skin, silver hair, red eyes that gleamed with malice... The two were quite the opposite, despite essentially being the same person. Link attempted to spread the light, heal the lands, help others. His shadow attempted to spread his darkness, ruin those lands once more... and leave those "others" completely destitute of what they'd had before. He wanted to destroy. 

finishing up;
