History On Li:
Many years ago, Groose, the tall, strong and handsome knight-to-be with the slickest pompadour in all of Skyloft, was on a mission.
He was guarding the Sacred Temple from any evil big or small that dared to challenge his might by disturbing it.
Inside the temple, Zelda the bodaciously beautiful babe with the body of a goddess, was sealed away in a crystal to... like, keep this big evil guy locked up or something.

One day while riding on his magestic winged beast of loftwing, disaster struck out of nowhere. This wicked gnarly blast struck the entire world with a force never seen before or since. Despite his most noble efforts, this blast knocked Groose and his loftwing out of the sky. But a fall like that didn't kill them or anything, it just trophified them.

So there Groose was; a studly statue of a trophy, lying in wait, still guarding the temple with his imobile life. The sight of him alone was enough to intimidate any one from snooping around. Like a handsome scarecrow or something.

Soon, Zelda's alarm clock finally went off, and she woke back up. And who should she find as soon as she curiously stepped out of the Temple? Not Link the hero the goddess first chose, but the shiny prize of a trophy that was Groose. As impressive as he was to behold in his trophified state, Zelda couldn't hesistate to put the Groose back in action.
And now since there are way worse things going on in the world than that one monster Zelda froze herself for all those years ago, Groose set out with Zelda at his side to become even better heroes to the world than old Link ever was.

Primary Attacks(3):
Groose Punch - aka Loftwing Punch. Groose works out and practices boxing as his regular training regimen. Groose combo punches with the strength and speed of a mighty loftwing. This attack uses Strength as its modifier. (Light Str Attack; Does 8% Damage)

Groose Dropkick - aka Loftwing Kick. This attack uses Strength as its modifier. (Medium Str Attack; Does 18% Damage)

Groose Tackle - aka "HOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" Groose summons his Loftwing to carry him and his target high into the sky. Then he jumps off of its back and tackles the target to the ground. If this attack misses, Groose suffers 14% recoil damage. This attack uses Strength as its modifier and has a 3 turn cool down. (Heavy Str Attack; Does 32% Damage)

Special Attacks(3):
Scattershot - "This isn't just any ordinary slingshot. This is a top of the line, fully upgraded sling shot! Perfect for pulling the most perfect pranks, and for hitting pesky red things that are too far away." The scatter shot fires 3 slingshot pellets per firing. This attack uses Dexterity as its modifier. (Light Dex Attack; Does 5% Damage)

Grooseward Sword - "I'm a proud student at the Knight Academy just like everyone else. Of course I know how to use a sword and shield! What? You thought I wasn't good at it? I mean uh, not that I Need to with guns like these!" This attack uses Strength as its modifier.(Medium Str Attack; Does 15% Damage)

Groose Bomb - "Awwwright! It's time for Groose to explode into action! With a Pocket sized Groosenator." Groose throws a bomb flower. The bomb flower explodes on impact of a target. If the throw is dodged on the first turn, the explosion still has a chance of hitting on the second turn and must be dodged again to avoid. This attack uses Dexterity as its modifier and has a 4 turn cool down. (Heavy Dex Attack; Does 25% Damage)

Final Smash:
The Groosenator - "Try not to drool on your shirt as you stare at this superweapon I've been working on! I call it...the Groosenator! Leaves you speechless, doesn't it? That's only natural. You wouldn't believe how much time I put into building this beauty. I don't care how beefy you are--you're bound to stumble for a few moments after taking one of my big bombs to the body!" Groose launches a giant bomb flower via catapult at the center of the arena, blowing up everything in range. Using the Groosenator is also a great alternative to flying. This attack uses Stat as its modifier.(Does 60% Damage)

Great New Special Moves:

Shield Bash - In a real battle, pulling off a defensive shield maneuver requires perfect timing. Believe me, you really don't want to miss. With expert timing, Groose can brace his shield against an oncoming projectile and reflect it back where it came. Since this attack uses his shield instead of his sword, it relies on his current Constitution modifier, if it fails to reflect, his shield takes damage.
He can also use his shield to bash his enemy in close quarters combat, dealing 10% damage with a 10% chance of inflicting Stun status. This technique comes with a 2 turn cooldown. (Medium Constitution Attack; Does 10% Damage.)

Big Bug Net - You got a Bug Net! Use it to catch bugs and other small things! Bug catching may be a fond pastime among the children of Skyloft, but Groose has found a net gain of uses for the necessary net. The Big Bug Net can be used to catch, and hold onto projectiles thrown at Groose to then be used for his own ends. The Big Bug Net can only hold one item at a time and requires a 3 turn cool down after being emptied to be used again. (Heavy Wisdom Technique)
A unique property owed to the alluring pattern engraved on the hoop and sewn in the net, the Big Bug Net is surprisingly affected as a distraction technique. Successful distraction by the Big Bug Net inflicts Stun and comes with a 4-turn cooldown. (Heavy Charisma technique)

Clawshot - You got the Clawshots! With this sacred gift, you will be able to explore areas that were previously unreachable! Wearing the Clawshots, Groose can shoot a claw on a chain an grab onto distant objects or surfaces and pull them toward him or him toward them respectively.
The Clawshots can be used as a distant grappling tool, boosting his grapple rolls by +1.
They can also be used as an effective evasive tool, boosting his dodge rolls by +2. This technique comes with a 3-turn cooldown. (Heavy Dexterity Technique)

Bottle - You got an empty bottle! Use it to store all kinds of things!
All this legendary adventuring can sure make a guy thirsty. Like any properly prepared knights, Groose takes a full bottle along with him on a mission. This bottle can be filled with a potion or other drink of his choice. He can share his bottles with allies too. In a combat situation, each serving costs a full battle action. 
A bottle can contain one of the following:

• Heart Potion: a red tea brewed from Heart Flowers than can restore 8 points of health per serving. 
• Stamina Potion: a green juice made from Stamina Fruit that increases Dexterity modifiers by 2. The special effect of this juice does not stack with multiple sips and only lasts for a single turn. 
• Revitalizing Potion: a special formula infused with the shells of various bugs that’s a handy adhesive for shield repair.
  Each serving can restore 6 points to the user’s shield.
• Guardian Potion: a sparkling elixir supercharged with the ability to temporarily reduce the damage taken by the drinker by half. The guarding properties of this potion only last for a single turn, and a second serving will not take affect until after a 4 turn cooldown.
• Mushroom Spores: a fungal powder collected by slicing mushrooms growing in the Faron Woods, Deep Woods, Skyview Temple, and on certain islands in the Sky. Throwing these in an opponents face inflicts Stunned status. The powder won't take effect again until a 2 turn cooldown has passed.

A bottle can fit three servings of drink, after which it becomes an Empty Bottle. An Empty Bottle can then be filled with other potions, spores, soup, or other liquids provided they can be found during the mission. The availability of substances to refill the bottle with occurs exclusively under permission from the mission's GM.

Bottle:

The downsides of this aren't clearly stated. Can you just not refill it unless the thread leader says you can? Because the mechanics don't say that, or otherwise imply you can't just say there's a potion there and refill it.

Heart Potion: Other healing moves with 3 turns of cooldown heal for 1d15+cha. To beat this, they have to crit. Why should a heal that doesn't take a risk by rolling and doesn't even use the healing stat be better than a proper heal 19 times out of 20? Shouldn't it be worse on average? The average roll of a d15 is 8.

Revitalizing Potion: Similar to the heart potion, but closer to being balanced.
