ooc;; So in probably the strangest turn of events I can be putting into words, Yakuza: Like a Dragon hit me with a buttload of inspiration for the LoZ verse like holy hell, giving me all the right ideas for what differences LoZ Pit’s gonna have from his canon self and helping me put the ideas into words.
I’ll probably touch this up another time but here’s a brief rundown if any of my LoZ followers wanna humor me, feel free to hmu if you wanna have fun w/ this:
‘Pit’ is but one of the angelic servants that served the goddess Hylia in the era of the Goddess. For all intents and purposes, there’s nothing truly special about him compared to others - barring that his Goddess offered a little more power to him than the other angels. The reason for such favoritism in power being that despite being one of the weakest angels, existing from an unexpected - but incomplete - excess of divine power during the Goddess’ existence, he wound up being one of the most resilient and determined servants she had, and simply wouldn’t take being overlooked... his dedication was something respected, and to that end he did pull himself up as one of the most devout and prominent of her servants.
Like all of her angels, however, focus was hardly on him - rather more focused on the protection and safety of the mortals that lived on the surface. Doubly so when she would come across her human champion... while no feelings of animosity were ever held to the humans and indeed, Pit wholeheartedly agreed with her want to protect them and see them safe, all the same it did mean that the angels were hardly any sort of focus - which lead to his continued existence after the goddess reincarnated away from her divine realm being something quite soundly overlooked when the loose ends should otherwise have been handled - with him being the strongest remnant of her direct power at the time, while much of the divinity of it all was either dispersed or suppressed within the reincarnations she would go on to become... the remnants of her most devoted servant would go into a state of limbo for millennia on. Not conscious, thankfully, and in fact he would have no memories of ever doing so in the first place... but all the same, his being remained.
Over the millennia the divine bloodline grew, the time the divine magic that gave him existence would eventually level out, and release itself in the form of the divine being that should not exist eventually being pulled to the next reincarnation, allowing him an unexpected revival... rising in a time, era, existence no angel was meant to live. With no memory of doing anything more than taking a mere nap - he is understandably quite lost, with nothing but the princess he meets to welcome him, and he finds she is no more aware of the situation than he is, telling him only that the goddess he is looking for is a legend and wondering about the wings that adorn his back. It is on him at this point, to deal with this new era, to grow accustomed to it... and to stay at this maiden’s side, due to this inexplicable pull he feels toward her to keep her safe.
A few significant points for his portrayal here:
Pit here can come back in any of the eras, all up to your preference. Believe me, I’m not gonna be super picky about details like how long he should be out of commission. If you’re a Zel muse and you’re in an era, there you go, that’s when Pit arrives.
He is still quite awkward here. Naturally polite and rather unused to interaction more than necessary with anyone other than his goddess, so it’ll take him some time to adjust to speaking with others.
He’s a fish out of water hard here. He doesn’t know anything about Hyrulean civilization, he doesn’t know about the legends, or what the culture is like now, anything of the sort... there’s a lot he isn’t going to understand until he learns it.
Though he was not a super strong flier, initially being a weaker angel himself, he could fly once. Continuing to exist only as a remnant of that old power will certainly nerf him in some ways.
How much power any Zelda can use with him (considering, you know - Hylia’s power still resides within her in some capacity) depends entirely on how much she has tapped into Hylia’s power within her. Never at full capacity as he perhaps once could have - but how she can offer flight, or even telepathically alter him in any way would depend on that aforementioned factor completely. Unless determined otherwise, a mental link for communication will likely form, but that’s the only proper constant.
He’s not nearly as powerful here as he is back home. He’s less a weapon and more of a relic, a remnant. Without the awesome power of a powerful goddess fully standing behind him, he can keep up with some of the stronger human warriors once he’s back in shape, but god-killing is considerably more difficult. He is exceedingly tough and hits like a tank, but he’s entirely fallible to surface dwellers here.
His loyalty still lies with his goddess, and until/unless he learns that the goddess as he knows her is well and truly not something he can ever return to, seeing her again is going to be very much on his mind. Not to say he does not care about his Hylian friend(s) he grows close to, and in fact he grows more grounded with them the longer he remains with them, but he does yearn for the home he knows most back.
You know he’s shippable here. Just something worth pointing out.
