FINALLY I'm posting my totk oc! (probably long overdue lmao)
Meet Sere!
An oc that's been a long time in the making. He's a member of an 'original race' I came up for in TOTK, called the 'Forest Dwellers'. They're similar to the Sheikah, in that they're a tribe of Hylians, and are built off the idea of the Forest Dweller gear. I kinda wanted to answer 'who' those weapons would've been made for. The Forest Dwellers are currently extinct in present Hyrule, but were very prevalent during the Imprisoning War era. I can't explain it all here, but feel free to ask questions about them! I might make a post in the future. Okay, to make things clear, I 100% made Sere to ship him with Link. He's very much an oc x canon character. However, he does have a lot of his own lore and backstory. In the canon timeline of TOTK, Sere does not meet Link until the events of the Upheaval. Before that, he's been hiding in the forests of Hyrule. After helping Link to defeat Ganondorf, he agrees to let Link reside in his home for now (let's say that he doesn't co-live with Zelda and never buys the house from Hudson Construction). Overtime, their relationship blossoms.
I won't explain everything here. If you have any questions about him, fire away! For now, lemme drop my concept art and some SerLink art. Thanks for reading :3 Concept art
