Name: Yrmes
Race: Korok
Gender: Male
Age: 131
Physical Appearance: Like most of his race, Yrmes' physical build is rather limited. Standing at a height of "2'6, he is generally above average in terms of other Koroks. His short, stubby limbs greatly hinder his speed when travelling on foot, and reaching to high places is not exactly his forte. He has found that he can not wield a sword with arms as small as his, and instead takes to dropping Deku Nuts on enemies from above. His wood-like texture is coarse and rough, with one single wood knot at the center of his left palm. His leaf mask is a gray and tattered Sassafras leaf, in which one eye hole, on the left side, and a mouth hole are cut. His small nose pokes through the leaf in the middle. On his back is his trusty Deku Leaf; around his waist a belt with many pockets. He has painted a black Triforce on his chest, to symbolize his Heroicness.
Personality: Yrmes is unlike any other Korok in his thinking. Ever since Farore appeared to him in a dream when he was but a tender sprout and informed Yrmes that he was the Hero of Time, reincarnated once more to fight the Evil King, the young Korok truly believed that he was Link, and aspired to fulfill his destiny. Rather than wasting his precious time with the minutiae of Korok life, Yrmes took to training his body and mind for battle that would surely come to him, the so-called Hero of Time. When he finally got his hands on a sword, he realized that his arms were far too stubby to wield it. Angered, he secretly blamed and hated his father for conceiving such an unable son. Yrmes despises tradition, loathes music, and detests his heritage. Ever since the day Forest Haven was destroyed, Yrmes has thought of himself as free from the clutches of the suppressing Korok family. However, as a result of nearly fifty years of nomadic life, Yrmes has lightened up, and, although slightly arrogant due to his supposed title as Link the Hero, is for the most part loyal and kind.
History:
Journal of Makar [Day the Eighty-one Thousand, Seven Hundred and Sixty First]
~ My son has grown into a fine young sapling. With Hollo's intellectual guidance, Yrmes has progressed through his studies with relative ease. He makes me so very proud. Today, I gave to him my old Dekufalla, my old Deku Leaf. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he was happy. He eats like a Boko Baba, my son. But the other Koroks and the Great Tree and I do not mind. He must grow strong if he is to carry out the duties of a Korok. I hardly care that his leaf mask has turned gray, which has never happened to any Korok before. ~
Journal of Makar [Day the Eighty-one Thousand, Seven Hundred and Sixty Second]
~ Tomorrow is the first day of concert. I presented to my son my old violin. He was overjoyed; I can tell you with certainty. He has not yet played it. I believe he is too busy with Hollo, studying kitentes, potions. When he was out today, I entered his room. I left shortly after, and felt sick with myself for invading my son's privacy. I could not find the Deku Leaf I gave to him. ~
Journal of Makar [Day the Eighty-one Thousand, Seven Hundred and Sixty Third]
~ I am very sad. Yrmes, my son, has told me that he plans to leave the Forest Haven for good. He wishes to travel the Great Sea. No Korok has ever done this before. I fear that his gray leaf mask may be the cause. He also asked me for a surash. A sword. I found the Deku Leaf I gave to him, stuffed into a knot hole in a tree, forgotten. I should be happy; it is the first day of concert. I am very sad. ~
Journal of Makar […]
~ This is my father's journal that I write in. My father is dead. He died yesterday, along with the other Koroks and the Great Deku Tree himself, when the dark beasts burned down Forest Haven. When I returned from my hideout after practicing with my sword, all I saw was a swirling ball of fire where the Forest Haven used to be. I flew closer with my Deku Leaf and watched the fire for a while. Then I threw my father's violin into the hungry flames and departed. This was obviously a sign from the three Goddesses above that I must assume my rightful place as the Hero of Time, and leave this Godforsaken island to fight the Dark King. ~
"Hope": Yrmes believes strongly in his tikotako, his Godgiven Dogma. In his dream, he claims, Farore appeared in the form of a Deku Baba and told him that he was the Hero of Time, reincarnated from his past life as a Hylian. His genuine belief that he is the Hero of Time drives him to take on the evil that now curses the world.
Other: He's not REALLY the Hero of Time. He just thinks he is.
