[developer's note: this is for an AU that's centered around Cent. he's got a lot of his own content courtesy of my co-conspirator and friend]

oldest thing i have on hand is the first thing i ever posted to tumblr

this is my horrible bastard son cent. he's the best. here is his (old, but usable) ref if you're curious what he looks like without the stylization

"Oh, Vio, like Violet!" Wind exclaimed. The other parts of Four gave him a look. "It's short for Violent, actually," Vio answered nonchalantly.

[i have since gotten over these worries and have decided to make it everyone's problem.]

[yeah this was a while ago when we got Frog Update. following this was an old version of how chain 2 met the main chain, which will be included under the cut at the end.]

it would also be fun to have the reveal happen as a result of rhythm sort of. snapping. hylia, he knows stopping the shadows is important and protecting people from the monsters they bring is part of the job and he knows damn well that he's not the only one missing home and the people there but part of him feels like his situation is worse than some of the others. he's not the only one separated from someone he loves, but he'd bet a hundred rupees he's the only one who might lose his chance at still having that love afterwards at least in the eyes of the law and their peers because as much as he cares for reti, he cannot continue the royal bloodline. sheila will always be the one the zora will think of standing by reti's side. even if he proves how much he cares and the people know the hylian is more than just a personal guard, that's all he may ever be in title. unable to show the full extent of his feelings in public, because it would be scandalous to be flirting with the king due to already having a queen and because of a disparity in rank. the longer he's away from home, the less time he has to prove himself to the zora people, and more importantly to the current zora king. and part of rhythm is terrified of it. even in sheila were to accept him as well, without the approval of the king, he would still be nothing more than a personal guard trying to court the throne. a personal guard that went back on his vow to protect the royal family of hyrule to serve the sea. a personal guard functionally unable to leave or find love because of the prince's gift, always able to be dragged back into the depths. he hates the thought.

[cw below the cut: canon-typical violence. wild meets chain 2 after they teleport to him during Sunset pt. 10. this is no longer exactly how things happen I think, I'm still sort of working it out...]

[developer's notes: AUs are wild. this is a different one from last time.]

honestly the choices in clothing would make you thing Twilight was more of a hunter and Rus was more of a farmer but personality-wise and weapon-wise, it's the other way around. Twilight has a sword and a wooden shield, and only hunts game when necessary (killing for food and not thinking about taking anything as a trophy). He can speak to animals as a wolf and is friendly to them despite his appearance, so he's listened to their stories and carries them with him. Rus has a crossbow(which I still have no clue how it works) and a shield of horn and bone, and is more likely to hunt for fun. He takes home the kills for food, yes, but he's more likely to also take something as a prize for his victory. he does it less often since Twilight came back, but there's still deer-horn handles on knives and furs that line warmer clothes. he can't speak with the animals, and is less talkative and social than his older twin. there's a reason why Twilight's animal form is a blue-eyed wolf while Rus's animal form is more like a White Wolfos (potentially also with blue eyes, haven't decided). The wolf hunts when necessary while the wolfos will hunt for fun. Peter Pancho III may be the scariest member of the team by accident, but Rus is no slouch in the fear inciting department.
