Link

Link is a Regauricle boy with autism spectrum disorder, however he is in denial about his condition. After watching the movie Rainman (1988), Link decided that he does not have autism because he is not like the autistic character Raymond "Rainman" Babbitt. Link's most notable physical feature is his ears, which are considered short for his race. Unfortunately his stunted ears give rise to teasing from his peers who call him names such as "earlet", "shrimp ears", "weakest Link", and "deaf boy". Despite being called "deaf boy", Link can hear perfectly well, although he does have a peculiar speech impediment that is often mistaken for a deaf accent. A lifetime of social exclusion and teasing have caused Link to develop a bitter demeanor and he has no friends except for his disability support worker, Navi. Link thinks Navi is just a babysitter because he does not believe he is disabled. Navi constantly chides Link to listen because Link does not focus very well on what others say to him (which is another reason for the "deaf boy" taunt).

Link's parents are resentful of his condition and neglectful of Link as a result. They pay little attention to him (as long as he is not causing trouble) and leave most of the rearing to Navi so they can focus on their non-disabled daughter Keira. Both Link’s parents and Keira tend to act as if Keira is an only child, failing to mention Link to acquaintances and excluding him from family outings. Link’s mother regained a modicum of acceptance for her son after requisitioning the services of local naturopath and “crystal guru” Mipha. Mipha believes that Link is an “indigo child” and that his autistic behaviours are manifestations of supernatural abilities. Link’s mother much prefers to hear that Link is special and gifted with magical auras to being told that Link is “disabled” or “special needs”.

According to Regaurical culture, Link is "touched by Dark Eco", and like many "Eco touched" Regauricals, he is prone to explosive outbursts (meltdowns) which are viewed as a dark alter ego - Link's name for his alter ego is "Shadow Link". Even when not in a Shadow Link meltdown, Link enjoys breaking things as a hobby. He also enjoys hunting (and killing) animals, archery, setting fires, and climbing things. He always carries a Swiss army knife and fantasizes about slicing off the fingers of anyone who tries to touch him. Link has a photographic memory and encyclopedic knowledge of animal taxonomy, and will often call others "stupid idiots" for not knowing species. He also refuses to use taxonomically incorrect common names for animals and invents his own substitute common names. For example, he calls horseshoe crabs "scuttle spoons" because horseshoe crabs are not crabs; put simply, horseshoe crabs are of the order Xiphosura, whereas crabs are of the order Decapoda. He also likes to hunt and kill small animals, often followed by eating them raw. Link has a lot of idiosyncratic speech that extends beyond his made up names for animals, and he will often use made up words and expressions without explaining what he means. One of Link's more sordid recreations is placing fairy figurines, which he likes to imagine are shrunken women, into jars and filling them with cum.



Another of Link's favorite past times is peeping on a neighborhood girl called Zelda, while she gets dressed, from a tree outside her bedroom window. Link has an intense, and unhealthy, romantic interest in Zelda who has rejected Link's advances on multiple occasions, as she does not reciprocate his feelings and already has a boyfriend called Ganon. Link considers Ganon to be his arch enemy, and thinks him an unfit suitor for Zelda for not treating her properly. Ganon does not treat Zelda poorly; Link misinterprets Ganon's playful gestures towards Zelda as abusive behavior, because Link has difficulty discriminating between flirtatious banter and malicious teasing.

Notable Events

 * Sonic and his gang attempted to bully Link by holding him down and making him lick a battery. Unbeknownst to Sonic, electrostimulation is one of Link's fetishes, hence Link became aroused. Sonic was so uncomfortable with Link's arousal that he ceased the bullying operation immediately, proclaiming "This shit is gay, let's get outta here boys!".
 * Keira once drove Link out into the middle of nowhere and left him there in an attempt to get rid of him, but Link was able to find his back because of his photographic memory.
 * Link was able to name all of the crystals on Mipha's shelf, which caused Mipha to exclaim "I knew you were an indigo child! Your deep affinity for the crystals is undeniable proof!"

Interesting Facts
