Description
🏹Tesserion🏹
Yoo and this lad! Some of you may remember that I had a Rito OC, Rye, which I posted about on here quite some time ago. But I really felt like I lost the connection with that dude and wanted to give him a fresh coat of paint and not rush his design, give him a proper story and all that. So here is the new and improved version!
BIO:Name: Tesserion [shortened to Tess]
His name was actually inspired by “Tessarion, a dragon from ‘A song of ice and fire” I just really like that name and that’s all I could think of when I named him so lmao
Age:19 / Race:Rito / Gender:Male / Sexuality:Uncertain / Birthplace:Rito Village
Current Residence: Constantly travelling, Tess doesn’t really settle down anywhere for too long, he camps out in heavily wooded areas with lots of wildlife, high up places like hilltops and cliffs, and sometimes even in the entrances shrines when it’s heavy rain. Tess, despite being a Rito, doesn’t much like the cold climates, which is why he decided to leave Rito village in the first place and just live off the land.
Occupation :Tess is a Hunter by trade. He has been learning since he was very young to use the bow and help his father hunt and feed him and his family, and he has gotten quite skilled at it.
APPEARANCE
Physical appearance:His appearance is based on the Peregrine Falcon. He has vibrant blue eyes, a fairly small beak and two feathers on top of his head that seem to stick up no matter what he does to keep them down. The feathers on his neck and chest are quite dense and fluffy. He has big fluffy brows as well.
Height:5'8, not the tallest, but he uses it to his advantage when in combat. He makes up for his height in speed and mobility.
Clothing:Unlike most Rito, Tess doesn’t really wear many accessories on his head, his locks have some small beads in them but that’s usually all he has on his head. He also doesn’t wear the wing-like shoulder pads like others in the tribe. He prefers more light clothes, simple leather armor pieces and mostly just cloth. He has several belts and satchels to hold his belongings and weapons as he travels. He also wears a few golden anklets, a gift from his mother, she said it would bring him luck on the hunt. Tess also wears a set of red ribbons around his ankles, which he let’s loose when he flies to flutter in the wind. There’s a short red cape with a hood, wrapped around his neck.
Equipment:He carries his own unique bow, which he made from the antlers of an elk. It’s decorated with a chain of monster teeth. He also carries his Quiver, Arrows made uniquely from his own feathers and some sharpened shard of bones for tips. Deadly and accurate. He has a hunter’s horn on him as well, a tool given to him by his father after he proved himself a promising hunter.
PERSONALITY
Positivesptimistic Playful Kind Always willing to lend a helping wing
Negatives:His playfulness sometimes leads to reckless actions Can get pretty cocky if challenged Stubborn
Alignment:Chaotic Neutral
LIKES:
☆The sounds of rain ☆Mutton ☆The Dragons, “Gorgeous beasts, no?” ☆The scent of the forest ☆The Zora, he would love to swim but, it’s not very good for his feathers, and he can’t really swim either tbh. He admires their culture very much however. ☆Monster hunting, “nothing quite like slaying the vessels of evil to start off your day well eh?”
DISLIKES:
☆Extreme cold ☆Wolves, “You kill a stag you’ve been after all day and by the time ye land it’s just *poof* gone after those lot are done with it. Thieving bunch.” ☆Bokoblins. “Now, one is no trouble. A group ain’t a big deal either, but when there’s one or more of them silver ones… Oh sweet Hylia they get annoying. ☆Guardians, "Freaky bucket faced spider monsters” as he calls 'em.
Hobbies: Lynel Hunting. The tally on his Quiver is specifically for his Lynel kills. He likes to brag about his victories sometimes. He says Lynel bones are the best to make arrows from, they’re remarkably stronger than any other monster’s bones. He just enjoys the thrill of the hunt. Whenever he returns to Rito village to visit his family, he tells the rito children stories of the biggest ones he had to face and show off his spoils from fighting them.
FAVOURITE:
Food: Creamy Meat Soup, Salt-Grilled Gourmet Meat, Honeyed Fruits and Honey Candy.
Colour:Teal
Season: Spring. “That’s when all the prey awakens! Oh and the land becomes filled with colours and all sorts of jolly noise”
RELATIONSHIPS:
Family: Besides his parents, he has a sister. They still live back at the village however he doesn’t see them often. But he loves them very much regardless and looks forward to visiting home.
Others: He’s quite good buddies with Kass and Harth. Him and Kass often see each other while travelling around Hyrule, they often settle down in the same spots and share their travels and stories with each other. Tessarion always loves to hear whatever new song Kass is working on. Harth and him had been friends ever since he can remember. He respects Harths’ hard work and skill when it comes to making bows, and Tess himself has learned most of what he now knows from him. He’s also quite well known at stables, often coming to supply them with fresh meat and wild goods, in turn, him and Beedle are quite familiar.
OTHER:
Injuries: Mostly minor scars from just everyday life. He did however break his left leg once during his first few months of living in the wild, tough times, but he recovered. He wears leather braces on his ankles now to reduce the chances of that happening again.
Fears:Ganon mostly. He doesn’t find many things very scary, but seeing what impact Ganon has left on this world gives him the chills. He’s also lowkey terrified of Hinoxs’ simply because their giant lingering eyes freak him out.
TESS IN GAME:Tessarion can be encountered in a wide variety of locations.
Some common locations include:
☆Sitting atop Ya Naga Shrine, in the middle of Lake Hylia. He can be seen there waiting for Farosh to emerge from the lake. “There! The Jade Spirit Farosh… If only I could fly by its side… see where it goes. Haha… if only there wasn’t a risk of certain death am I right?”
☆The stable next to Kaya Wan Shrine. Sitting outside by the fire.
☆Lurelin Village “Me? Oh no I’m not here to swim or anything, I couldn’t if I tried. I just enjoy the tropical quisine, I hear crab tastes especially… fishy? in these parts… not sure if thats a good thing… Guess ye gotta trust the locals.”
☆Circling the Colosseum, flying and occasionally hiding outside. Lynel Hunting. “How do I approach this… there is so many of them In there…”
He also appears in many highly forested areas, by campfires. Sometimes can be seen flying high in the sky in random spots and beside Kass in some of his spawn points.
TESSARIONS QUEST:
After meeting Tess, the player will have a chance to get a dialogue option asking Tess about the tally on his Quiver. Choosing this will cause Tess to pause, excited, he will dramatically begin explaining his career as a Lynel hunter, enthusiastically talking about the beasts he had taken down showing off the monster teeth decorating his bow. He proudly talks about the 12 monstrous Lynels he had taken down, before the player can cut him off.
Upon being stopped he will apologise briefly for going off on a tangent, before turning away and making a sneaky remark. “Hmmpf! I’d like to see someone beat that record” he chuckles to himself. Choosing “what if somebody were to beat ya?” Will prompt him to continue, pausing for a moment in thought. “HAH! I’d eat my own feathers!…wait? You- you mean you?… Oh well… you know what? Let’s make a deal! You, if you can beat my record… I Uhhhhh… I’ll give ya my trusty Bow as a token of my respect as a fellow sportsman of the hunt. How’s that?”
Should you accept, you will get a quest to beat his record of 12 Lynels. “Haha! I can’t wait, but hurry, I add to that tally often, ya might wanna hurry before it becomes impossible to beat me… heheh” Should you do so however, the next time you see him, he will gift you with his bow, along with a sum of 500 rupees. “…haha y'know I bet with myself ya couldn’t beat me…but uhh… I lost so, I guess the 500 rupees is well deserved! here, all yours”
Now the player will have the option to present Tess with monster parts. These include any sort of tooth, horn or hoof. Tess will then share his secret of the hunt with you. “You see, I don’t use any ordinary arrow, nooo…I have my own!” He pulls an arrow from his quiver, “these, are special, ya see, I make them with monster parts and my secret ingredient, which I get from our amphibian friends… these arrows will stop your target dead in their tracks hehe, no pun intended… with these monster parts, I can make ye a batch of 20.”
After this, you can always return to him and give him monster parts and frogs or lizards in exchange for arrows. The max he can provide at a time is 30. “Now, I can only give ya 30 at a time, I make these with my own feathers ye see, these lot don’t grow on trees y'know, use them wisely!”
WEAPON STATS
TESSARION’S BOW:

The bow comes with the 'Quick Shot’ ability and when fired will have a 40% of firing 2 arrows, while only using up one.
