    Name: Darun "Bull" D'zor

    Age: 32

    Gender: Male

    Race: Goron

    Place of Origin: Goron Slums

    PWC: 4/1/2

    Treasures:
    `Eruption
    Borderline-canon, Technique - Offense
    [Explosive], [Fire], [WeaponBase]

    P4: 40 rupees

    Locking their feet in place on the ground, and taking their weapon above their head, the user begins focusing and concentrating it with their own inner strength. The instrument begins to glow brighter and brighter orange and red. At any point, they may unleash this power by smashing the weapon into the ground at their feet, unleashing an explosive burst of flames from the impact point and around their body. Thrusting it immediately after charging will do little more than cause a small flare, but waiting a full ten seconds will unleash a force roughly equivalent to a potent Powder Keg.

    `Fire Breath
    Canonical, Technique/Spell - Offense
    [Fire]

    P4: 40 rupees

    After taking a deep breath, the user exhales not mere air, but searing flames, which can travel out several feet and last as long as the user can blow.

    `Flame Choke
    Borderline-canon, Technique - Offense
    [Fire], [Fist]

    P4: 20 rupees

    With their hand secured around a feasible grab-able part of the foe's body, particularly the neck or face, the user's hands suddenly clenches and a flare of dark flames bursts from their hand, searing and burning the foe viciously while simultaneously blowing them back from the force of the attack.

    Height: 6' 8"

    Weight: 400 lbs.

    Equipment:

    Hammer Gauntlets:
    It took several years for Darun to create these, due to the trial and error of the design process, and the shortage of iron.
    The final product is a pair of crude iron gauntlets, fingerless, and made to fit Darun's hands. On the sides are slabs of hard iron, forming a large, flat hammer face when the fists are clenched together. Obviously, the strength of the hammer is based on how powerful the user is.

    Appearance: Besides the usual Goron attire, Darun wears a large, crudely crafted leather belt, held up with an iron buckle. He also dons a pair of hammer gauntlets, his own invention. He covers his head with a large hat that he found along the road from Castle-Town to Lon Lon Ranch.(The Hylian equivalant to a cowboy hat.) His right leg is held in a sturdy iron brace, and slightly twisted due to a past experience.

    Residence: Darun hopes to make a home in the town of Impa when it's constructed. If it doesn't work out, he still has a home in the Goron Slums that he can return to.

    Backstory: Darun has never spoken a word of his past to anyone, but there are still a few Gorons in Hyrule who remember his story.

    When Darun was a young Goron, he grew up like any of the other goron children. The only diffrence he had to the others was his stony "hair", which had grown into two large, abnormal spikes on the top of his head, very much like horns. The other Goron children laughed at Darun's comical hair, giving him the nickname "Bull" as a constant reminder. It's easy to believe that this hurt Darun pretty hard, emotionally.
    Darun's father was an iron-smith in the Goron city, and speciallized in decorative ironworks. As he grew, Darun took up his father's trade, and by working in the forge, he made up for his appearance by becoming stronger than the other young Goron. He was far from being the strongest, but he earned a little respect none the less.

    Darun enjoyed the life he led, and soon didn't care what others thought of him. He worked the trade with his father, and soon they were near equals. Over all, life was plesant.

    However, when young Darun was barely into his teen years, Gannon's forces attacked the great Goron city. Darun, along with many other Goron warriors, made their way to the base of Death Mountain, meeting Ganon's forces head on. Darun, however, was not a natural fighter, and almost fell to his first enemy, a large Darknut in black armor. As the Darknut's blade came down, it met with Darun's spiked hair, and the wepon bounced off. Using the distraction to his advantage, Darun reared his head back, and rammed himself into the Darknut's gut. The "Horns" picked the Darknut off the ground, and sent it flying forward, where a fellow Goron's blade stabbed through the monster's back. After this battle, Gorons still called him "Bull", but now as a sign of respect.

    Darun fought against Gannon's forces for three years, helping to make sure his people's city remained safe. The worst possible scenario occured, and Gannon himself made his way to the stone gates of the Goron city. Darun, along with a few other brave(or foolish) Goron, led a charge down the mountain, determined to risk their lives protecting their city from even the Dark King himself. Darun himself took out a minor portion of Gannon's surrounding army, and probably would have continued, had not the Dark King find annoyance in the Goron's insolance, and scooped Darun into his hand. The young Goron saw his life flash before his eyes, if only as long as Gannon's hands begin to sear into Darun's skin. This powerful heat not only left a permenant black handprint on his head, but it broke his horns clear off the base of his head. His only chance of defending himself gone, the Dark King tossed Darun aside, and the Goron landed against a rock. A loud snap reverberated across the mountain as his right leg snapped in two at the bone. He screamed in agony, untill a small grouo of remaining Goron helped Darun to escape the city. That moment would be burned into his memory for the rest of his life.

    Darun's father made a large, adjustable metal brace for his son's leg, so that it would stay together as it healed. The brace itself was held up by Darun's first forge creation, namely a large iron buckle holding together a crude Dodongo leather belt. With this in place, Darun left his home of Death Mountain for good.

    Darun found his way to the large Castle-Town of Northern Hyrule, finding a small home in the slums. This was his home for several years, and his base of Operations for the family business and his side job as a construction worker. Living in the Slums was hard, but he survived it anyhow.

    It was just recently that The King of Hyrule announced the construction of the city of Impa, and Darun hopes to find work in Impa, and make a better life for himself than what he has now. Besides, if he can help bring down the defeat of the Dark King in some small way, he could finally feel content with the pains that he had recived from Gannon. But would be be accepted?

    Meeting Ganon isn't gunna fly with Bitoko, so you will want to change that. You can still be in that final push... but nobody in the RP is really allowed to interact with HC Canon characters (at least for now).

    Somebody else will have to look over the treasures as I don't have a good grasp on pricing. Other than that, Darun looks ok.

    Yeah, I wasn't expecting that to go over well. But atleast I tried, eh?

    Honestly, my idea there was that Darun never actually did anything to Gannon but annoy him.

    Alright, so before this can pass, there are two things:

    -I spoke with Bitoko, and he says that Darun's chances of survival, when meeting Gannon, is too slim, and that he should not have survived. You will have to edit that portion out, and edit Darun's appearance accordingly. However, it would be perfectly okay, in my opinion, if Darun met a high ranking official in Ganon's army, and had an encounter to much the same effect.

    -Darun's encounter with a Darknut also has a few problems. Being stronger than Gorons, and using massive swords, it is highly unlikely that Darun's "horns" would be unable to block the sword without breaking. A possible solution might be: changing the Darknut to a lesser minion, maybe a Moblin or something; having Darun's "horns" be armored so that they would not break.

    This can pass once these two things have been changed accordingly.
