Physical Description
Sheik appears to be a young man in his late teens. He seems to have vaguely European features if he were compared to regions of our world. While the man is not lacking in muscles, it is of the lean sort and pretty much impossible to see in his average outfit. His chest is pretty much a rock and he has the lean build of a track runner. He doesn't have a highly developed chest, but you could tell he is more than a bit in shape if he were to take of his shirt. He has almost nothing in the way of body fat. He has a slightly pale complexion and his ears are pointed like all humans in his homeworld.
The man keeps his hair cut short out of a desire to not maintain it. It is dark blond and unkempt, seeming stringy much of the time. Its a bit longer in the back than a short short style, and the longer strands do reach the base of his neck. There is enough hair that if you were to grab him by his head, you could cause some pretty significant pain. He has sky blue eyes that are far more mature than than his physical body indicates. They seem somewhat distant and hollow, and they never carry any mirth or laughter. In fact, overall they're pretty much emotionless, but his thin eyebrowsa re able to indicate anger or frustration. Its clear he takes no nonsense.
Sheik is never seen in any outfit other than his standard, but it relates more to the rarity that he is seen than an unwillingness to change his clothes. The bottom most layer of his outfit is rather similar to a female swimsuit. It is a sleeveless body tight fabric mostly concealed under his pants and shirt. You can see the upper parts of it due to the construct of his vest piece. It also comes up quite a bit, allowing a "ninja mask" effect. Exactly how it stays attached is a bit of a mystery, but it seems to do a fair enough job at it.
Over that is a black vest of sorts made out of a tough fabric. It has only the slightests of sleeves, but is enough to fully conceal his base shirt. The inside edges are dark grey. The bottom is tattered and looks like it might be loose if Sheik didn't have what looked like cloth bandages wrapped around his waist, a few rather large pieces coming up a bit more. The bandages are also responsible for keeping the vest closed at the bottom. Around the neck is a tall tarnished bronze buckle able to support two belts. The thin crimson belts are actually part of the same piece due to the buckle and firmly around Sheik's neck like a complex choker. It keeps the collar piece close to the skin, although it can't prevent a bit of loose fabric between the two parts. The back of the vest has a large triforce symbol just large enough to rest between without overlapping the boundaries of his shoulder blades. At the top point of the triangle and an even distance from either side is an inverted crimson red triangle. Three triangles of the same sort come down from the bottom center of the triforce and are evenly spaced.
Sheik has fairly plain but quite sturdy pans of the same cloth at his vest. They are tight, but loose enough to allow full freedom of movement. At his knees are two large crimson red knee pads. They hug his body rather well due to the copius amoungs of bandages he has wrapped around the top and bottom. They are two seperate areas of bandages and do not prevent his knee from bending in the least. His shoes are crimson red, plain, and soft-soled. They would do little extra damage with a kick, but they allow him to sneak around. They appear to be body tight, but its hard tot ell because he also wraps cloth bandages around the top of them in several layers. Like all the other bandages on his body, it can be hard to tell where they are tied.
The man has more cloth bandages wrapped around his shoulder. They serve a similar function beyond appearances to everywhere else, functioning as a sort of minor armor. His elbows have pads like the ones on his knees, and they are attached in a similar manner. The bandages wrapping around them are a bit different in that they are connected to the bandages at his shoulders. He has on skin tight crimson red gloves that are lacking fingers. The tops are concealed in the same fashion as the tops of his boots, and the bandages are a further continuation of teh ones on his shoulders and elbow pads. How the don't slip every which way is a bit of a mystery.
For accessories, Sheik has a sort of diadem and pierced ears. Both are made of heavily tarnished gold. The earrings, of which he has one in each ear, are small hoops. His diadem is is made of thin strips of metal that come down in a slight arch to a molded shape at his forehead. There is a point to it at the center bottom and a point above it by just a bit. More strips of metal create four holes. It in fact looks like the triforce of myth and legend, only inverted.
Weapons
Sheik keeps various weapons concealed on his person. They are all very small, and even the blades would not be enough to qualify as daggers. He has some throwing stars. All of his weapons are very plain and rather nondescript. There is a point of them to not standing out. Sheik is capable of using most weapons, both ancient and modern, but he tends to carry very few on him.
Abilities/Powers
His main power is a magic a result of hundreds of years of training and refining. He is able to use the magic of illusion and shadow native to the tribe once known as the Sheikah. It is a dynamic power and has no direct skill list to speak of. With it he is able to cloud the mind of his opponents. This is not an failsafe power, though. If the person has a weaker will than him (rare) they can throw it off. Those trained to see past illusions and magical manipulation are able to throw it off as well, and his powers have no abilities on people who can use artifacts with those abilities. He is able to control and mislead the minds of weak people and one of the reasons he has never been seen by those he don't wish to is because he is able to use his powers to cloud and muddle their memories. A common side effect of him using his powers is that his victims have a nagging ache of a headache.
Sheik's apparent immortality may qualify as a power, although he would call it a curse if you could get him to speak of it. It should be note that the immortality takes the form of his body not aging. He does have accelerated healing and whatnot, but if someone were to actually kill him he could not recover.
Skills
Sheik lives up to the position of shadow ninja, which is basically what the tribe he now belongs to qualifies as. In many cases, he doesn't need his powers to hide in the shadows and go unnoticed. He is an expert on things such as incapacitating his foes. He knows all the right places to hit a person to injure or kill them. He is an assassin of the shadows as much as he is a spy and observer. He knows of pressure points on the "human" races of Hyrule, although his skills on the less human races have rusted a bit over time. He can swim as well as any human can and has near supernatural dexterity and agility.
Personality
Sheik is a very cold man. Death doesn't seem to effect him in the least, and his expression would not change if he were forced to disembowel an army. He seems to care little for life and would have no qualms about massacering an entire village. The last crowned prince of Hyrule has a very cruel definition of the greater good. He feels that if the greater good dictates, not only should families be ripped apart and thrown to the wind, but it should be a requirement.
Aside from his seemingly brutal nature, he is very distant. He is a independant agent of the Sil Agency (see History) and he very much acts it. He only tells people what he feels they need to know, and his opinion of the Greater Good directly dictates that. Over the centuries he has withdrawn from humans and hardly seems human himself half the time. He seems to not have much in the way of emotions, but in truth he has a fairly short temper. It can just be hard to tell as he is notorious for stuffing things deep into the depths of his soul. He doesn't form emotional attachments beyond the one he retains from his childhood. For one, people die on him. For two, they could get killed on him. Worst, he might have to kill one of them himself.
He's pretty no nonsense about things, but rather than arguing he'll just retreat. He has been known to observe a person to their death if he suspected them. That's what he is, more than anything. A silent observer, pulling the strings of history as his group does when it is needed.
History
Sheik was born to the last queen and king to rule over Hyrule. While Hyrule went through many incarnations in its many hundreds (perhaps more) years of history, it eventually had to come to an end. Not an end as seen when the world flooded, but a true end. Not sealed, but gone. His mother was the last in the line of Princess Zeldas. His father was her consort, a nobleman by the name of Link allowed to marry the Princess due to his status and heroics against the ever present threat of the Evil King Ganondorf. He had a nursemaid by the name of Impa, as standard of the royal family, although by the time his life changed forever she was over one hundred. She had come into the servitude of the Queen in her later years and had used her magic to live beyond the normal expected lifespan.
In any case, Sheik had been having desperate nightmares for some time. As a result of them, both of his parents had stepped up castle security. Zelda herself had not sensed anything, but she was willing to assume her powers has simply transferred to her heir. While the legends never spoke of a Prince with the power of Destiny, she refused to let the past blind her to the possibility. However, the force in which the one known as Ganon returned was too much even for the king and queen to bear. They might have sealed it again if it weren't for several things that went terribly wrong in quick succession.
When the castle had fallen under attack, Impa had gotten seperated from Sheik. His faerie guardian and friend, Bry, who had come to him one day to the surprise of both his parents, was his only company. Only eight, the boy somehow managed to get through the castle and to the closed door of the throne room. Ganon, as he was at the moment in one of the incarnations of that form, sensed the boy on the other side of the door and used his power to teleport him in. Bry was unable to do anything; She repelled by the overwhelming dark forces. Once the prince was within the throne room, the dark power almost consumed him. He pushed past the oppression and Ganon even tried to be physical with his suppression of the prince, using him as both hostage and torture for the most recent incarnations of his destined opponents.
It was then that the Master Sword directly interfered. The Queen had never heard of such a thing occurring, although it was possible it had never been recorded in the legends. When she and Link asked it within the pocket space it had created, the Sword even spoke. Victory for the Hero and Princess had always been assured. However, this one time, it wasn't. It informed them that the only option left was to kill the King of Darkness, a feat which had never been accomplished. It would need the very essence of both of them and it would cost them their lives. The decision was agreed upon by the couple for one reason. Their son. The burst of power that was released due to the consent was enough to blow off half of Hyrule Castle. In fact, it should have killed pretty much everyone inside. Reports would later circulate the kingdom that three golden lights had shot out from the explosion.
Sheik, Impa, and Bry were deposited in Hyrule Field. To Impa's surprise, the forces took physical forms and were revealed to be no less than the three golden goddesses themselves. Din was absolutely pissed about the situation, but seemed rather relieved. Farore seemed proud of things but had cases of lamenting herself. Nayru was the one that took the role of explaining to Impa and Bry what had happened. She informed the two that Sheik was just exhausted from the evil power, but would be fine. Impa needed to take shelter with her people, things were going to change. The goddesses returned to energy after that, and left.
Impa fled to one of the hiding places of the Sheikah with Sheik after that. The guardians of the royal family since time forgot made a decision to let the people of Hyrule consider the entire royal family to have died in the explosion. Sheik hated this, but he was kept from the outside world until he agreed to cooperate. He did try to escape a few times, but the Sheikah's information network prevented him from ever getting far. As he grew, Hyrule began to collapse in front of his eyes. He was in his early twenties (and Impa dead of old age) when the true impact of what had occurred finally hit. He had stopped aging, and the best anyone could figure was that the way he had been "touched" by the goddesses had granted him a sort of immortality. Hyrule was allowed to remain fallen and effort was put into muddling the truth of events behind myth and legend.
History marched on from then, and the suspicion about Sheik's immortality was confirmed as the centuries marched on. The Sheikah eventually renamed themselves the Sil Agency. Even then, it was considered the stuff of conspiracy theories the way the Knight Templars of our world are treated. They kept an eye on every aspect of the world, guiding history a little when they felt necessary. Their main goal was to watch for the reincarnations of the Hero, Princess, and King. The King never showed up, but there were the occasional incarnation of Hero and Princess. They never managed to meet, and fate seemed content to remain a myth. That was true until about seventeen years ago.
The Sil Agency lost track of the Hero after he left the countryside as a child. The eyes had been close on him as he'd seemed to have a natural connection to the woods and the faeries. The Princess was discovered after reports of a young girl's odd powers circulated. They never lost track of her, and eventually one of their highest ranking members was sent to guard, watch, and train the girl. She would be known to Zelda as Impa. Sheik, however, found himself more focused on the possible reincarnation of the King, a boy by the name of Akhar. He wanted to kill the boy as a preventative measure, but it was one of the rare cases where the Sil Agency (Impa, in particular) refused to let him. His focus on Akhar allowed him to keep a focus on the Hero's most recent incarnation as well, as the one named Link seemed to have it out for Akhar.
Sheik eventually came to the point of watching the likely incarnations of all three figures of myth. He was tracking Akhar, his decision finally made to kill the teenager, when he was almost caught by the confirmed most recent incarnation of the Princess. He was forced to use his magic on her, to which she had a resistance from years of dealing with Impa. What he hadn't expected is for some sort of cosmic backlash to hit as a result and for them to both vanish into the illusionary mist he had created. While the specifics of Dimension Island would pull him and the Princess apart, they would both be arriving on Dimension Island...
Other
This is not Sheik from Ocarina of Time in any way, shape, or form! His mother named him as such after legends, but it was more a way to honor Impa than a direct reference to the one from Hyrule's legends. Also, this Sheik is 100% male, you can take that Word of God to the bank. No gender confusion!
Sheik has a guardian faerie named Bry. Think of her similar to Navi, although she is far older than Navi as she was in Ocarina of Time and have a very different personality. Consider it a result of outliving most faeries (the specifics of which will be in her application). Bry will be apped tomorrow due to the original character limit.
