MEET ENGINEER, LINK FROM SPIRIT TRACKS~After months and months of lazing around, I finally got to move my a** off and added Spirit Tracks in my version of Linked Universe AU lolUnfortunately, the story that I made for him focused more on Wind. In fact, Engineer’s inclusion is a very last minute thing. So, I didn’t delve into his character too deep. You can read it here, btw: Ao3 | Fanfic.net(Also, designing his clothes makes me realize Beat’s outfit is kinda…bare. Somehow. Maybe I’ll redesign him one day. You know, give his tunic at least a split on each sides of it, like the usual Links clothes in Linked Universe. Cadence’s outfit in her original game looked like that too, so I’m not veering too far from ‘canon’ `3`)Anyway, Engineer characteristics are:* Stoic. Snarky. Lazy. * Very low in stamina. In my story, wielding a Lokomo Sword sapped his energy bit by bit, even when he doesn’t use it. That’s why he sleep most of the time #ForeverTired* Fighting style. He’s mostly trying to dodge and redirect the enemies’ attacks back at them (using their momentum). It conserved his energy, more so than blocking or swinging his weapon using his own strength * He’s Wind’s successor. But he’s older than him. I mean…the guy have a job, so he’s definitely a young man, at least * He’s lazy yet a workaholic. He rather have a triweekly shift than having to embark on another journey (why workaholic? Well, the first thing we saw when we booted up the game was Link sleeping through the tale Nico had told but looks especially enthusiastic when Zelda appointed him as a Royal Engineer)* Because of his low stamina, the other Links let him ride on Epona’s back almost the entire time of their adventure. (”See? You guys don’t need me here. Tell Hylia that I’m just a baggage“, “Don’t try to guilt-tripped us. You just want to ride your train around”, “Tch. Busted”, “Besides, can’t really stop the portal from force-teleporting you into our circle”, “Ugh, I want to retire, dammit”)* (Yeah. I’m using the ‘force teleportation’ theme in most of my LU fics. Fight me)* Ironically, Engineer do love Monday. Don’t judge him by his sour face, alright? He was born with it (lol)* Unless the map is updated using a technology only existed in his own world, he cannot use the built-in map when in the other Links’ eras*This is a secret. But the reason why he agreed to help Zelda saved the world is because HIS JOB IS IN DANGER HERE, OKAY? NO WORLD, NO MORE TRAIN TO RIDE. And that’s a no no >:(* Kidding. It’s not a secret. Zelda definitely knew.* Last but not least, why the heck did I give him a red scarf? There’s no scarf in his uniform, oi. But I already wrote it in my fic and I’m too lazy to fix it, so there. Red scarf for Engineer :’D Cadence of Hyrule fanarts: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4And here’s another Spirit Track fanart: 1BONUS:CoH!Zelda is HARMONY and ST!Zelda is MANAGER(’Let me speak to your manager’ ‘I am the manager’. Yeah. I chose that name specifically for this joke, hah! And cuz Manager is the one who’s responsible for ensuring the key projects and engineering duties are fulfilled. She is Link’s boss, after all)Harmony: “Beat is so irresponsible sometimes. I remembered that one time, he was too busy dancing along the Music Monster’s music and forgot to save the civilian.”Manager: “Oh definitely. Did you know what happened when we first met the other Heroes? Engineer used too much of his energy so I have to lug his body back to the Train Station. Made a bad first impression with the Links and all, I hope he won’t inconvenience them too much.” -- source link
