Hello there! If you are reading this informative pamphlet, then you are already one step closer to becoming a formal student of Somerset Academy (or better known as the Hyrulean Royal Knights Academy). In this academy, we both train and educate the youth, so some may become knights for the Royal Militia, or others may pursue wonderful careers. There are of course some rules that many have to follow and must be followed. They are the following:

Hyrulean Royal Knights Academy: Rules and Regulations

Uniforms /must/ be worn during school hours. Regular clothes may be worn only after classes are over.

Magic is only permitted in Magic Arts and The Magical War Club. Use of magic outside of class or the club may only be permitted during emergencies or life-threatening situations.

PDA is not allowed. You may be romantic (for that is something that we as educators cannot control properly and we all know what it feels like to be in love), but please students. Keep it both in your rooms and in your pants.

Classes start from 9am until 4pm. Attendance is very important. If you are absent (due to illness or family matters), please either have a doctor's note or a family member's letter describing why you were absent. Note: hangovers do not count as illnesses.

Alcohol and drugs are not permitted on campus. Regardless of age, the prominent number of students on campus are between 15-18. Thus, you will be expelled if found with either substance.

Small pets are allowed (ex: birds, lizards, non-dangerous snakes, rabbits, mini chuchus, etc.) However, students will oversee their pets always and must pay a 20 rupee fine per month (how else do people expect the academy to make money?)

As both a military academy and a school, we must both prohibit and allow weapons on campus. Actual swords and other items (such as enchanted rods, guardian swords, etc.) are prohibited in school hours and are only allowed in R.A.P (no, you do not rap about saving the world or protecting the royal family. The joke has gotten quite stale.) For seniors, weapons may be carried so long as you have special permission.

All students will be living within the dorms of the academy. No cars will be allowed, as we will need you all to be relying on your feet; and on the rare occasion a horse.

For those that are of poorer status and wonder about possible monetary problems, be pleased to know that Somerset does not discriminate on anything, and that the Academy provides jobs for the students on the weekends if they so choose.

As for classes and clubs, the Academy has many options to choose from. However, for those that are choosing for a career path, some are more required than others. The following is what classes they may take, and clubs or sports they can participate in:

Academy Specific Classes:

R.A.P. (Royal Arms Practice): I, II, III, IV

This is what the majority of students will be taking, teaching them how to wield weapons correctly, going through combat situations, teaching them about strategy, among other things. Only those that are undergoing for the Militia will take this class.

Monster Anatomy: I, II, III, IV

This class will teach the vital points of monsters, where they mate, and how they track people. This class can be taken by anyone, but it's recommended for those in the militia to take it.

Magic Arts*: I, II, III, IV

As the name implies, this class will teach students how to wield magic, identify magical weapons, as well as make potions.

Hyrule Mythos: I, II, III, IV

The study of the myths Hyrule has, helping students get a better understanding of the culture they're apart of and teaching them a multitude of things that maybe helpful while on the field.

Wilderness Survival: I, II, III, IV

As the name implies, teaching the students how to survive out in the wilderness in the case of them getting lost from a unit. Teaches what is edible, how to make weapons out of wood, among other things.

Guardian Studies: I, II, III, IV

This class enables students to operate a guardian stalker, a weapon of mass destruction that no longer has an AI (after records stated that Calamity Ganon was able to possess them.)

Regular Classes:

Chorus

*: Students may apply to take Magic Arts, but if they don't have the magical capabilities (that is identified on the first day of class) then they will not be able to take the class

**: Sheikah are recommended to take this club so that way they can be on top of their origins and battle forms

Please note that if there are clubs that you believe should be in our school but aren't, don't worry! Go ahead and talk to administration and ask to form a new club.

Before you apply to the Academy, there is one last thing you must do. That is put in a submission of all your information, describing who you are and other important details. Below is a simple format that we as the academy (or I as the Author) will love to see:

Finally, before this rather lengthy brochure is done, I would also like to say that what you read in the rules is true; there is indeed a uniform. For those that wonder what the uniform will look like, a student has drawn one for those that which to see it. It can be viewed either on the following links, or can be simply viewed on the first day of school:

art/Somerset-HRNA-Uniform-714292550

art/Sleeves-and-Back-of-Uniform-714293373 (Hopefully I can do this without getting in trouble fore something. Am I supposed to put spaces throughout the url?)

For the new student, we know that this must be a large amount of information you'll be taking in. Trust me when I, the Principal, was quite scared when I first arrived. However, as one of the staff and a previous student, I will be happy to tell you that you will have fun while you're here, even if you're not here for the military aspects of the academy. Have a good day, and hopefully I'll meet you all on your first day!

Sincerely-

Lucas Nohansen Hyrule

Okay, so this is it! XD Hoo boy this is going to be a big undertaking with me. So, there is some other information that has to be known that can't be explained on the pamphlet, because of how the universe works. Here is the extra information you need to know:

Magic comes from 3 basic types, identified as colors: red, blue and green

Red magic is the most destructive, but hardest to control. The main elements that this magic can most specialize in are Fire and Earth. Unlike the other magical types, red magic can be used to control other elements (as seen in many villainous figures in history, such as Ganondorf and Aghanim) However, the main problem with red magic is that it's extremely violent and prone to attack at will. Red magic users have a hard time trying to wield red magic at first, due to its odd behavior.

Blue is the most defensive, and is (out of the three) the hardest to use simply from the magical energy consumption it uses on the body. If used correctly, it can surpass red magic, but is best used as support (it can be used to relay messages between people from long distances, among other things). Its main elements are water and ice.

Green magic is separated into two types, wild and gentle.

Depending on how more 'wild' the user gets (snaps, kills, etc.), the more destructive its magic gets. The downside to this is that the user can no longer heal like most green magic users should be able to, and the more graceful approach people will need when trying to control wild green magic and its blasts.

Gentle green magic is best used when the user hasn't taken a life yet, allowing one to control both 'wild' and 'gentle' green magic spells. When having gentle green magic, the user is able to heal others, sometimes even reconstructing broken bones. Its main elements are wind and lightning.

Human can't wield magic due to them not being shaped by the goddesses.

Some races have unique magic types, such as the Gerudo. This may be due to a different ancestor than Hylians.

Magic types can be mixed, such as Blue with green or blue with red. However, green and red can never be mixed together; for their purest natures are always the opposite (Red magic takes form and pleasure in violence and absolute power, while green magic is usually docile. It has been said in legends that there was once a man who had both magic cores within his soul, but that is mere speculation). Also, mages that have a mixed magic core will never be quite as strong as their pure core counterparts

As for races, this story will include the following:

Hylians: the elvish people that we're all familiar with, the predominant species across Hyrule. Hold a special notation that they are above humans, who cannot wield magic. Due to this inability to wield magic, a majority of Hylians believe that humans were created to serve them, even though humans originally came from a land known as Termina.

Sheikah: The shadow folk, their population was on the brink to extinction until they miraculously multiplied, where they predominantly live in Kakariko Town. The Yiga, Sheikah who hate the royal family to this day and hold a 10,000 year old grudge, live in the ruins of the old Kakariko Village, long destroyed due to time's cruelty. They made many of Hyrule's energy based weapons, such as the guardian sword or ancient bow, and are the main force behind guardians and their development. They usually pair up with humans to discuss architectural matters, for they build things together, and helped forge the kingdom as to how it is at present time.

Gerudo: The desert amazons, with one king to rule them all. Although most of them live in Gerudo Town, some travel to live in Hyrule and to start a family. Children raised in Hyrule have a natural longing for the desert, and will make pilgrimages every now and then to their ancestral home. They wield orange magic, something that is unique to them. Orange Magic is similar to Red magic in the fact that it can wield earth, although sand in this case. They also have the ability to control lightning, although this ability is usually exclusive to those in the higher stages of the Gerudo caste.

Gorons: the kind rock people that are surprisingly intelligent, which is overlooked when taking in their aloof attitudes. They are natural miners, smiths, and builders, and any blade built by a Goron will last much longer than those built by other species. They predominantly have red magic, however only the chieftain can make use of it in proper ways. A unique ability to the chieftains is the ability to make nigh indestructible shields, ad their offspring can inherent this ability as well. (Note, Gorons appear to be a male race. However, they still manage to make children. The mysteries seem to expand beyond my control)

Zora: The aquatic species that is naturally pompous and arrogant. They rarely have time for humility, and don't like it when they have to swallow down their pride. They predominantly have blue magic, but can't summon ice. Zora princesses can heal wounds, at a rate that can astound any good green magic user.

Rito: The bird tribes that no one knows why they exist in this timeline are proud warriors, and are excellent at archery. Green magic is something they have predominantly, however they rarely use it. Good Rito can use magic to make gales under their wings, and send them upwards at an alarming rate. The Rito rarely like outsiders and will only allow officials from any species to enter their city.

Kokiri and the Korok: Records state that there are people within a forest who stay as children forever and never grow up, but get cursed and turn into wood creatures (from hell… or so the author has heard) when leaving the comfort of their forest. The Kokiri can only use Green magic, but in exchange for that they can heal any mortal wound faster than a cheetah. Thy rarely see outsiders, but are known to be mischievous and playful. Due to their immortality, they are far wiser than they appear or act, so one must treat them with respect... (Or else they will get dragged down into collecting 900 pieces of poop.)

Humans: Originating from the now drowned land of Termina, humans lost the ability to use magic over 5,000 years ago when arriving to Hyrule, and endeavored to gain some form of respect from their 'superiors'. So any technology that is created that was not originally by the design of the Sheikah was made by humans, for their struggle to survive and to forge onward allows them to become more talented at building things then most others. Usually the humans will collaborate with a Sheikah professor to design a new phone or automobile, to try and reduce pollution.

Some more stuff that should be mentioned: This story takes place around 10,000 years after breath of the wild, and technology (our smartphones, the internet, cars, and etcetera) was created around 1,000 years before the plot. Humans primarily get around in cars, because teleportation is usually the preferred passage of travel now these days and is usually only available for the Hylians and other species, who are the upper class (with humans being considered the lowest.) Sheikah Slates are used like pokedexes (for those that are familiar with pokemon) and how they are used in the game, and is only given to those in the military.

As for geography and time, the map will be of BOTW, with certain parts of it changed. Any destroyed village you see within BOTW (ex: Mabe Village ruins, etc.) will most certainly be towns or cities. Any previous locations from Zelda will be here as well, such as Ordon Village (now known as Ordona Town). I'll most likely try and draw a rough map, but cartography was never my strong suit. As for time standards, this story will have our months and years, but some holiday differences will be there. Halloween still exists, but Easter and any other predominant religious holiday won't exist either (Although they will have some sort of counterpart for them). Holidays such as New Year's will still exist, and Hylians will use our calendars and time system (although each month will have different names, and military time will be used instead of the standard time us civilians are used to.) Again, I'll have to continue planning that out, so forgive me if I take a while in advance. Also, some of you may notice a familiarity with the way magic is handled in this… a virtual cookie for any that read a certain fanfic XD. (and don't worry, that specific author (MangoKat) gave me permission ;D)

Other than that, have fun. Don't go bananas and make five million OCs, minimum is one per user (unless you're unsure if your OC you made was good, or you want some related to them go with them to the academy. Then two will be your max.) As for why Gorons, Rito, Zora, and Kokiri aren't in the school, it's just that they all have their own hierarchies, and their own militia. Course, the Kokiri really don't have a militia, seeing as how the forest itself is their guardian…

Oh! And here is an OC Template sheet filled out, so that way you guys can have an example:

Nickname: Lucy
Other titles: Half-breed, peasant, darling
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Species: Hylian/Human Hybrid
Sexuality: Straight

Zodiac Sign: Libra
Place of Birth: Ordona Town
Past residences: Ordona Town, Mabe City, Hateno Town
Current residence: Hyrule Proper, Somerset Academy
Past Occupations: An assistant at his parents deli

Childhood: Lucian's childhood was fairly good. His mother and his father love him very much, and he returns that sentiment to them as well. However, he is and his mother would often get verbally and physically assaulted, due to the racism that Hylians have towards humans, which still persists to this day. This has made him withdrawn and afraid to speak his mind. However, other than that his childhood was good. One time his Uncle Sherman decided to take him hunting (even though the child absolutely wanted nothing to do with it), and they almost died due to a Stalfos creeping around the forest they were in. His uncle almost got killed during the attack, leading Lucian to get hemophobia.
Other events before academy: He won a national baking competition. He also won an national strategy game, that got him the invite to the academy.

Physical appearance:

Weight: 158
Height: 5ft 11in
Body type: Lithe
Eye color: Strawberry Blonde
Hair color: Grey
Skin Complexion: Fair
Scars: None
Piercings: None
Other defining features: Has a small agate stone around his neck, a gift from his grandmother

Or to save time

Overall appearance: Lucian has strawberry blonde hair now kept in a military style haircut with stormy grey eyes. Lucian gained his fair complexion and lithe build from hours of preparing for the academy each day. His personal clothing usually consists of a simple black t shirt with a pair of blue shorts and some grey sneakers. For the academy, he wears the schools uniform. It consists of a school jacket, embroidered with gold in the front, back, sleeves and collar. On the front is the Triforce near a breast pocket, with each Triforce color coded for what goddess it represents. The sleeves have the medallions of the six sages on both sides, three on one and the other three on the other. The back of the jacket holds the Loftwing design the standard Hylian Shields have, however he has the sign of Din where the Triforce would be (representing his status as a first year). On the side of his arm is a blue armband, representing his status as a blue magic user. Black formal pants are provided by the academy, along with black combat boots. The uniform also has fingerless gloves (he chose that design rather than the full gloves, for he always felt restricted whenever his whole entire hand was covered by something), with gold embroidering where the hand went inside, and silver were each finger went out of. One of the gloves (the right one) has a Triforce on it, representing that he is right-handed.

Combat Abilities:

Magic type: Blue

Fighting Style: Medium Range (comfortable taking both close combat and long range combat, but not being a master at either

Weapon(s): Halberd, Rapier

For the following, rate your character from a rank of one being the worst to ten being the best:

Strength: 7/10

Defense: 7/10

Speed: 8/10

Stealth: 6/10

Magic Control: 2/10

Magic Power: 6/10

Intelligence: 8/10

Personality:

Likes: Baked Items, food, lakes, reading
Dislikes: obnoxious people, racist Hylians, the upper class
Strengths: Quick to think, loyal, hardworking
Weaknesses: Shy, bit of a coward, trust issues
Phobia(s): Acrophobia, Hemophobia
Favorite food and drink: Cheesy pumpkin stew and rose tea
Least favorite food and drink: spicy risotto and soda (if not flat)
Quirks/Habits: Tends to overthink peoples intentions, has habit of becoming restless when agitated (shaking foot, needing something to work on, etc.)
Overall personality: Lucian is all around a nice, honest and hardworking individual despite the standards that his society has placed upon him and his family. Due to these standards, he has born a slight hatred towards the Hylians, who are automatically awarded a higher chance of getting a proper living then humans do. Due to constant bullying from people who mocked him for who he is, he became shyer and gained trust issues. The sight of blood spilling from a wound sets him to immediately retching (when he saw his uncle almost die from a Stalfos that tried to kill them), and heights simply scare him silly.

Relationships:

Parents: Maria Waters (a human, formally Maria Rosa) and Norman Waters (Hylian)
Siblings: None
Other Blood Relatives: Uncle Sherman (brother on Maria's side)- poor guy almost got cut to bits by a Stalfos when he tried taking his nephew on a hunting trip.

Grannie Alexandra (mother on Norman's side)- a kind old lady who refuses to back down to anybody, even death. Gave Lucian his necklace for good luck.

Adopted Relatives (if any): None
Significant Other (if any): None
Other Love interest(s): Zelda- a simple one-sided crush that even he knows will never come to pass, and doesn't mind.
Best Friend(s): Xavier Ramos- a young human boy who has been his friend since elementary school. The last time that Lucian saw him was two weeks before he was to go to the academy, and his best friend appeared to be angry at him for leaving him
Friend(s): Besides Xavier, none. Due to his heritage, both humans and Hylians alike generally avoided him, or would make fun of him
Enemy (ies): Zachariah Lorule- an obnoxious and spoiled Hylian that even those of his class despised. He was the bully for both Lucian and Xavier, simply because he could get away with it and no one could stop him. He got his just deserts when Xavier and Lucian pranked him with the classic Cucco trick: antagonize a Cucco multiple times, then let someone else snap its patience. Then watch as chicken Armageddon rains down on the victim.
Arch Enemy: None

Miscellaneous (Optional):
Would they die for another?: He would die for his family, and maybe whoever is his charge
What do they smell like?: Usually smells like chocolate cookies
Least favorite enemy to fight: Stalfos

Theme Song: The Outset Island theme from TLOZ: Wind Waker (Note that you can use any song from any any game, series, and in real life. Use something that fits your character nicely!)
Items of choice: Has none
Other(s): His original name, like many of my other OCs start out with simply because I'm bad at naming them, was Geri Stew

A majority of this was adopted from a user by the name of 'Skye Wolf of Dusk' from DeviantArt.

If any of you have a problem with this, go ahead and tell me right away what I need to fix! (Ex: Too much detail, try and make one yourself, etc.)

P.S.: Thanks to some certain reviewers, the OC template and the instructions for looking at the outfits are on my profile.
P.S.S.: Forgot to mention, you guys can go ahead and either PM me your OCs or you can just put them down as a review. PMing me will let us discuss about your OC in more detail, but be forewarned that I might not get to you immediately (life sucks and is soul sucking)
