Detailed (Okay, Maybe Not) Bios of the Mysterious Terminian War Machines

This page is for the Hunter Characters. Hunters are a group of elite soldiers, more like war machines, created by the ancient people of Termina. Hunters were used in the internecine warfare of Termina; however, they soon began to develope their own motives and eventually rebelled against their masters. The Hunters broke into two large faction, one led by an impossibly powerful Hunter called the Destroyer, the other faction led by the equally powerful Hunter, the Chaos Bringer. These two rival factions decimated the Ancients in their warfare until the Destroyer and Chaos bringer were eventually trapped in masks by the last of the Ancients. The Hunters were lost for millenia, until the Madame discovered the remains of Hunters in the barren wasteland which is Termina and resurrected them. Here is a brief timeline of Termina.

Majora, the Chaos Bringer:

The Chaos Bringer, otherwise known as Majora, is well known for terrorizing the land of Termina, where the very first Hero of Time had had one of his first adventures. Yet little is known about Majora's past.

Majora was a Hunter, built by one of the five groups of Ancients that lived in Termina. Sticking to 'his' design, Majora was an excellent assassin and killed many. He soon rose in power and rank after he proved himself the most efficient and deadly of the Hunters. That is, the most powerful besides the Destroyer.

Inevitably, the two formed a rivalry, and broke the Hunters into two factions. As time progressed, the Ancients began to lose control of their destructive creations and the Destroyer and Chaos Bringer both took control of their respective legions. The Destroyer, created by the most advanced state of the Ancients, formed an artificial Moon as a base of operations. Majora was not able to attack his rival.

After years of strife, the Talminian Ancients finally devised a plan to destroy the Hunters once and for all. One plan was Empath and Vision, created by the state known as Ikana; but the Ancient civillization of Ikana was destroyed in a rare collaboration of the two supreme Hunters' forces who knew of the plan.

The second plan involved the Giants, modifieds Hunter, Preservers, which were created to protect the land. The Four Giants, created by the remanents of the Ancient states, were used to destract the Chaos Bringer and the Destroyer while the last Ancients used this diversion to execute their final attonement for their sins. Using the last of their power, the Ancients trapped the two destructive beings souls' in masks, keeping them dormant until they reawakened later.

Centuries later, Majora was stolen from the Happy Mask Salesman by a lone Skull Kid with two Fairy friends, Tattle and Tael. When the Skull Kid put on the Mask, Majora was reawakened. He took control over the imp, and called down the Moon in which Fierce Diety lay to challenge him in a final duel. The Hero of Time managed to stop the world from destruction, and stopped the evil Hunter.

After the events surrounding the first Hero of Time's quest in Termina, it seemed peace had finally come to this land. All the Hunters were either eradicated or also put into Masks. Majora's power had been destroyed and the Mask's Spirit had been released, and Soul returned to its Temple; the mask was acquired by the Happy Mask Salesman. It is not known what happened to the Fierce Diety (The Destroyer) although many say that its Soul and Spirit still exist in this realm. An undeterminable amount of time later, the land of Termina faced an apocolyptic event in which the whole realm was turned into a barren wasteland with no life. The Madame Moda seems to know what happened and thinks it is related to the Unbalance in Hyrule now.


Fierce Diety, the Destroyer:

Fierce Diety was also present in the Termina incident with the first Hero of Time. However, Fierce Diety seemed to be more of an aid to the Young Hero. Fierce Diety had been turned into a Mask, like all Hunters, and had stayed in the artificial Moon that he had created. Majora called down the moon as a Challenge to Fierce Diety, making the Moon a ticking timebomb to the apocolypse. This, however, brought people to believe that the Moon was a manifestation of Majora's power, rather than Fierce Diety's. When the Hero of Time doned the Mask, Fierce Diety was awakened, and aided him in his final battle with Majora.

After the battle with Majora, Fierce Diety had mysteriously disappeared, making any trace about its wherabouts unknown.


Af Bri, the Elegy of Mystics:

Madame Moda was told that her most recent attempt to resurrect more Hunters had failed. Ironically, after she had discarded the Specimens in the acidic bays of Hyrule Bay that Oriares and Af Bri awoke. Not much is known about the two new Hunters, except that they are followers of Majora, and appearently still feel the need to kill Fierce Diety. Af Bri actually has shown signs mental inbalance. A prime example would be when she slapped Oriares upon her rescue and told him her name was Elegy. Though Af Bri may have a petite and frail form, she can still stand up for her own. From what we know, Af Bri is in control of storm-like conditions - at least lightning. Af Bri also seems to be in tune with Magical Fields.

Interestingly, Oriares commented that Af Bri was in the third stage of Hunter Developement. Her exoskeleton seems to now be seperate-looking from her skin.

Af Bri's exuberance can quickly turn into violence, yet she seems to see nothing wrong in detrouction. This makes her a very dangerous figure.


Oriares, Dominar of Cold:

Madame Moda was told that her most recent attempt to resurrect more Hunters had failed. Ironically, after she had discarded the Specimens in the acidic bays of Hyrule Bay, Oriares and Af Bri awoke. Not much is known about the two new Hunters, except that they are followers of Majora, and appearently still feel the need to kill Fierce Diety.

Oriares has the ability to freeze things. More specifically, he has the ability to suck the heat from things. Unlike most ice-based attackers, Oriares can in turn use this absorbed heat and send it back as volotile energy, making his arsenal hot and cold.

Oriaires mentioned Af Bri was in the third Stage of Hunter developement. In Hunter Developement there are three known stages. The first stage is where the only basic differences between hunters is coloring. The second stage is where they develope gender, and their appearances and abilities become more distinct. Not much is known about the third stage, as Af Bri is the only Hunter two reach that form. It is reasonable to assume their powers grow even more powerful. One drawback is that Hunters become increasingly 'Strong Willed' which can lead to mental instability.
