Name: Xenomorph
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Race: Hylian
Class: Traveller
Looks: Xenomorph is fairly tall, about 6ft, and is average weight and build. He is a typical Hylian with features such as pointy ears and nose. His eyes are a mix of blue and grey and his hair is scruffy as it is too thick to do anything with and it is a mix between red and brown.
Clothes: Xenomorph typically wears a black shirt with dark blue coloured trousers, both are worn for their lightness and their material strength. He also wears thick normal coloured boots and a black belt with pouches on, both designed for their strength.
Personality: Xenomorph is a fairly laid-back person, taking life as it goes, although he is slightly paranoid and will watch the surrounding area carefully. He is also optimistically pessimistic usually finding the best and worst sides of a situation simultaneously. Xenomorph is okay with fighting but gets annoyed when people attack weaker people and will usually attempt to leap in to help the weaker person.
Biography: Xenomorph was born in Kakariko Village and spent most of his early childhood fascinated by the Shadow Temple myths and Sheikah race in general. When Xenomorph was 10 his parents left to go to Hyrule Market to make some money leaving him in the care of the villagers, his parents then disappeared never to be seen again, Xenomorph is unsure whether their alive. He spent the next three years learning how to fight, the disappearance of his parents made him determined to learn so that he might find out what happened, he learnt skills from scrolls that he found in Impa's house so his fighting style has hints of Sheikah style but not much. At the age of 13 Xenomorph left Kakariko Village and went out to Hyrule Castle and bought a sword, it was only a cheap wooden sword but it would suffice. Since then Xenomorph has travelled Hyrule learning information on different races, although happy to be anywhere he prefers the Lost Woods and spend a lot of time there. It is also in this time that Xenomorph gained better weapons and equipment.
Item storage: All items are stored in the pouches on his belt which is enchanted to have a bigger storage space than it should, although the space is still limited.
Skills: No real special skills.
Weapon and items: A steel sword (custom made to have a longer blade), a wooden flute carved from an enchanted tree in the Lost Woods, bow and arrows, a hookshot, deku nuts and a dagger.
Starting Place: Lost Woods.

Hi there, and welcome to Zeldafront.
On the up side, I've never seen such a short application with such perfect spelling as yours. On the downside, as I hinted already: your app needs more length, especially on looks, personality and biography. Try to be as broad, descriptive and detailed as possible.
A few more points:
- Your name is unacceptable. Xenomorph is a geological term for a certain form of crystalisation and also the name of the alien race from the Alien franchise. Please think of a more suiting, realistic name.
- I think that your fighting skills should be listed under skills. And I see that you carry both a bow and a sword, but you never mention if your character can use them and how good he is with them.
- For the love of Nayru, no magic beltpouches
get a backpack.

Ah, I didn't see that bit about the belt.
Would Xenos be acceptable or should I stay away from ancient Greek words?

Name: Xenos
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Race: Hylian
Class: Traveller
Looks: Xenos is about 6ft and is average weight and build. Like all Hylians Xenos has pointy ears and a pointy nose. His eyes are a mix of blue and grey and seem to stare straight into people's mind (although they don't actually), his hair is inbetween red and brown, Xenos' hair is generally scruffy and it isn't short but couldn't be called long. His skin is quite pale as he spend most of his time in the shaded forest and even in the sunlight he doesn't seem to tan, this mixed with his dark coloured hair causes quite a strangeappearance. Although Xenos doesn't have many scars most of the few he does have a located on his back.
Clothes: Xenos usually wears what looks like a black tunic mixed with a shirt but without the bottom part of the tunic, his trousers are a dark grey colour that is almost black, both of these are for their praticallity and their material strength. His boots are a dark beige colour and altough
made of a thick material they are very light. He wears a small black belt with pouches on and a rucksack on his back. Xenos has a cloak that is green and brown that he uses to camoflage himself in forests.
Personality: Xenos is a fairly laid back person usually going where life takes him and dealing with problems it throws at him. He is a fairly paranoid person so he always is vigilant and takes a while to trust people who he doesn't know. Both of these personality traits suit his optimistically pessimistic outlook on life as he always finds the worst and best sides of life simultaniously. Although he prefers to be on his own Xenos wouldn't call himself a loner and he remains loyal to any friends. Although Xenos is a skilled fighter, he prefers to think his way out of situations and using the least violents methods. Due to spending a lot of his time in the forests and various other terrains he has learnt to use his surroundings to his advantage, whether it is for tracking or for security. Although always travelling Xenos prefers the Lost Woods and any area of forest.
Biography: Xenos was born in Kakariko Village and when he was only three his parents were taken by creatures from the well that invaded the Village and kidnapped many people, although a rescue team was sent down and many Villaers were rescued his parents were not, their condition is unknown to anybody but it is speculated that people taken down there were transformed into monsters. The fate of his parents strangly caused Xenos to become fascinated by the tales of the Shadow Temple, the well and the Sheikahs and he spent most of his childhood researching he Villages history.
Xenos was taken in by the owners of the Village's Inn and he taught himself using books from the local library, he felt distanced from the other children of his age so mostly stayed inside reading, it was here that he first learnt of the history of Kakariko Village. By the age of ten Xenos had read a
majority of the books in the library and it was at this point that the found a book on the races and creatures of Hyrule and decided that he would like to travel the world and explore but he knew that he would need to learn how to fight. He spent the last of the money left to him by his parents
on a basic sword, he stuck to a schedual where in the mornings he would go off to learn sword skills in a small area behind the windmill.
After a couple of years Xenos had learnt all of the fighting skills from the library books and decided to try and find any books on fighting in the house thatis rumoured to have belonged to a great Sheikah warrior, after sneaking in one night he searched through the book case and found some Sheikah training scrolls hidden in a secret compartment that were left there to allow Sheikahs to exist long after the last one has died out, from these scrolls he learnt the basic skills of Sheikah warriors.
By the time he had learnt how to fight to a level that he was happy with Xenos was fourteen years old, he returned the scrolls to where he found them and left Kakariko Village. Since then Xenos has travelled Hyrule learning information and new skills from the Gorons, Zoras and Kokiri, he also aquired new weapons from temples and dungeons and basic magic from Great Fairies.
Throughout the two years that he has been travelling Xenos has built a reputation for himself as a warrior known for his mixture of fighting techniques and use of some Sheikah abilities.
Item storage: Small items such as bottles, flute, fishing lures and deku nuts are kept in the belt pouches and the lense of truth is hooked onto the belt, meanwhile sleeping bag, cloak, fishing rod and bombs are kept inside of a customised rucksack. The rucksack has a sewn in scabbard and a sewn in quiver on the back and pockets for hookshot and dagger on one side, the other side contains a straps for a bow (with a piece of wood attached to them to protection the bow), the pockets and straps are for easy access to commonly used items.
Skills: Xenos is self-taught in the art of sword fighting and archery, these skills have then been developed in combat. Xenos can seem to dissapear through use of Deku Nuts and can become almost invisible by using the surrounding environment. Xenos can understand some of the ancient Hylian text but only the basics. Finally through the use of magic Xenos can cause arrow tips to combust into flame or freeze and can summon power into the tip of a sword while spinning in a circle.
Weapons and items: A custom made sword forged by Biggoron (similar to the Biggoron Sword but lighter and with a purple hilt and handle), a wooden flute carved from a thick branch of the Deku Tree, a bow and arrows, a longshot, a basic fishing rod (just a stick with string and a lure on), deku nuts, a dagger, bombs four bottles, the lense of truth and golden gauntlets (to make the Biggoron sword seem lighter).

When I get a successful application will I have to repost it under my new character name?
I'm okay with that name. You can edit the topic title by pressing edit on the original post.
Your app looks a lot better now
The only problem I have with it is that you want to start out with an inventory filled with a lot of the powerful end-game items from Zelda. Especially the gloves and the lense are powerful magic items and I'd rather have you not start out with them. Of course you can accumulate powerful items over the course of your adventures, but it's a lot more fun to write about coming into your power than starting out with it, as the game soon turns out to be rather pointless if you have nothing to work for.

It doesn't seem to let me change the topic name though.
I have removed the ice arrows (but have kept the fire arrows), golden gauntlets and the lense of truth, also I have mentioned that magic ability is limited to a small use.

That's the name change, nice spelling, added length, good set of skills - perhaps a bit broad but okay nonetheless - err... what else was there... Oh yeah, the belt pouches! All taken care of.
There's some weird breaks in your story every here and there, but nothing I'll hold against you.
It actually looks good to go for me. But I'll leave the verdict to someone else.

Edited the topic title for you. Maybe it's a moderator/admin thing, I don't know.
To be honest, your app turned out a lot better than I expected based on the first version. If you keep up with the effort I'm going to enjoy reading your posts Only your spacebar seems to malfunction sometimes 
Anyways, it's check 2, which means you're good to go.
