It's been a year and I fianlly got around to working on and finishing my Xie Lian poster (at least I'm calling it a poster)
I redrew it uuuuh 3 times before changing around and reworking complete parts of it and it still doens't have a background that I enjoy but hey maybe y'all will like it <3
He's a lil note sheet on the appearances here i guess, with my semi-chaotic notes.
Also, although I drew them together, i'm going to post the the matching Hua Cheng one seperately then maybe tac the other onto it if that makes sense. We'll see

just imagining being Lou Wilson and playing A Crown of Candy, a brutal game of D&D where Brennan is very specifically and pointedly trying to assassinate your character, and then going to an entirely different show to play ExU Calamity, a brutal game of D&D where Brennan is STILL trying to kill your character

hey so what happened to the hero of the breach link?? because i am like, 99% certain that our Wolf Boy Link is different from the poor kid who had to kill Great-GrandGan
first of all, 'Great-GrandGan' is now how I'm going to refer to him in my brain forever so thank you -
secondly, you're correct! They're different characters! A couple notes on our assorted Previous Links (tm) and their statuses so far in the story below!
--
admittedly a good chunk of the backstory for the Hero of the Breach is coming up in the next chapter of the fic, which has. well, it's a work in progress. However, some stuff that has been speckled around the fic and the snippets I've posted around here and on Twitter -
The Hero of the Breach, were he alive, would be only a few years younger than Rova - he was a kid when she was getting into her teens.
While there isn't much clear about his earliest years, he was at one point taken in by Great-GrandGan (Phantom Ganon, Demise, however you wanna slice it) and his spouse amid the 'First' of the three detailed 'calamities' in the fic. At some point he received the Master Sword from the last Queen Zelda - and by the end of things, both Great-GrandGan and his spouse wound up dead.
However, the HotB stayed around with Rova as her adopted brother, and they were very close up until his death, sometime in his early teens.
Though of course, as per Legend of Zelda tradition - one 'Hero' being dead doesn't prevent them from having a rapport with another! For better or worse!
Wolf Link - the 'Hero of Fortune' is of Urbosa's generation, around the same age as her, Maz Koshia, Impa, and King Delphinus.
Again, not too much is known about his early years currently in the fic - but he was at least raised in part by the koroks and nature spirits of Hyrule, and the dragon Naydra has a familiarity with him. Wolf Link did not die as a teenager - rather, as a teen he wandered his way into life with Maz and his sister Keo in Kakariko. While he wasn't a servant to the Hyrule royal family like Maz and Keo, he ended up around them quite a bit by association, and eventually got his own hands on the Master Sword.
(It wasn't a fun time for anybody, really, but when is it?)
Anyway - as it always does, the Master Sword comes with consequences or otherwise a good dose of fuckery, and at some point along the way Wolf Link began to encounter the Hero of the Breach.
Sometimes bombastically, other times like in a nightmare - and eventually, after he met his own end, perhaps as some kind of companion.
While the extent of his collaboration with Wolf Link, his purpose or truest form as a specter, isn't quite clear for now, what we know for certain - we certainly haven't yet seen the last of the Hero of the Breach.

In Avalir's ceremonies, given its complementary name, The City of Crowns, it's common to wear a headpiece as a symbol of your station and they go as such:
Septarion
A Kokoshnik-style crown in pure gold bearing seven gemstones. In high elvish is enscripted the very cliche "Knowledge is Power".
Eldamir, being "head of state", bears an extra stone, a big ass diamond.
Apprentices, Ring of Gold
Diadem or Circlet, usually simple in style, of fewer karats than those above, bearing a central gem that represents their Septarion mentor.
Octothurge
A two-centimeters-thick silver circlet, the base for the emblems of each of the schools of wizardry placed in the center of a eight-petal flower.
Ring of Silver
A thin circlet in parallel filigrees with discreet leaves ornamenting it.
Along with that, a symbol of her family, Patia wears a delicate crystals and pearls snood.
Magisterium
A chain of gold with a curtain of thinner chains over the eyes like a mask (justice is blind shtick).
Court of Owls
Laurel-like circlet of gold feathers.
The head of court wears a crown in the shape of an owl spreading out its wings
Court of Working
Simple straight laurel wreath of palladium metal.
Laerryn, as Architect Arcane, wears an elaborate laurel diadem of Mithral metal with flowers, minuscule pearls and a down-facing point, reminiscent of elven crowns.
First Knight
Usually worn over a light chainmail hood, it's of simpler metal and inscribed with the vows the Knight swears when nominated.
Loquatius
None of his titles actually bears a crown, but having earned the respect and love of those in the upper echelons, Quay earned himself a crown as the city's Herald and Scribe
Thranduil-style crown (yes, he went full-on fey prince) coming to points on his cheekbones, the backpiece resembles flames. Also made of Mithral to match Laerryn's.
