Chapter 1 - Character BIO - Link Hero of Time

Name: Link 

Age: 17

Affiliation: None (Independent; later allied with the Demon Slayer Corps)

Origin: A remote forest village bordering a forbidden, ancient woodland

Weapon: The Master Sword — The Blade of Evil's Bane

Breathing Style: None (Link's combat ability is innate and seemingly divine)

Rank: Unranked — deemed an anomaly by the Corps; feared by Muzan

Personality:

Link is silent—perhaps by choice, perhaps by nature. Words feel unnecessary to him. He communicates through gestures, expressions, and his blade. He is calm, courageous, and relentlessly driven by a force he doesn't fully understand, yet completely trusts. Though solitary, he radiates an unshakable kindness and protective instinct, especially toward the innocent.

Despite his silence, there's something ancient in his eyes—like he's walked these paths before.

Abilities:

Innate Swordmastery: Despite no training or formal guidance, Link wields a blade with flawless precision. His movements are natural, as though guided by instinct—or memory passed down from lifetimes ago.

Superhuman Physique: Link possesses strength, reflexes, and endurance that far exceed human norms. His body reacts faster than even most Hashira, capable of perceiving demon attacks in mid-movement and countering effortlessly.

Spiritual Force: Link's presence unsettles demons. Without saying a word, his aura commands respect—and fear. Some demons flee rather than face him. Even powerful Upper Moons sense something "wrong" about him… something dangerous.

Fated Connection: Link is drawn toward sacred places, relics, and ruins—especially the ancient grove where the Master Sword awaited him. Though he doesn't know why, he knows he was meant to wield it.

The Master Sword — The Blade of Evil's Bane

Forged by divine forces in a forgotten age, the Master Sword is the most powerful mythical blade in existence. It is not a Nichirin sword, nor is it forged by man. It is destiny given form—a holy weapon created for one purpose: to destroy evil at its source.

When Link retrieved it from the forest altar, the sword ignited with divine blue light, banishing every demon within miles. Its power was not sealed. It had merely been waiting—for him.

Master Sword Abilities:

Absolute Demon Bane: The Master Sword ignores demon regeneration entirely. Wounds inflicted by it do not heal. Even Muzan's near-limitless recovery fails against its strikes.

True Death: Unlike Nichirin swords, the Master Sword doesn't need to decapitate to kill. A single clean strike through the heart or head is enough to completely erase a demon's existence—even an Upper Moon.

Purification Field: The blade emits a passive aura that weakens nearby demons. Weaker ones are unable to move; stronger ones experience pain and sluggishness in its presence.

Demon Sensing: The sword pulses or glows in the presence of demonic energy, acting as both weapon and warning.

Holy Light Slash: Link can unleash arcs of radiant energy that burn through multiple enemies at once. This ability comes at great cost to his stamina but is devastatingly effective.
