Character Name: Shantae

Kingdom: Sequin Land, in the Wayforward Kingdom

Visual Description:

Written Description: Her long, flowing, purple hair is always tied in a pony tail. She wears gold jewelry, to complement her red arabian attire, consisting of pantaloons, a red top, and black shoes. Not much difference from the picture.

Personality: Shantae is a kind and adventurous soul, who will always be there to protect innocent people and her friends. She does have a bit of a temper, and low self esteem as only half genie.

Game: The Shantae series

Current Story: After the events of Half Genie Hero, Shantae continued her duties of protecting Scuttle Town and the rest of Sequin Town. However, one day, a Tinkerbat, one of the followers of Risky Boots, actually came to her and gave her a letter saying that their leader, Risky Boots was missing. None of the Tinkerbats know where she went. While a disappearing archenemy (and kind of friend) disappearing seems like a good thing for Scuttle Town and the rest of Sequin Land, it was still concerning. Was Risky Boots planning something? Or was she just in trouble? If she had been planning something, surely she would have her Tinkerbats with her as well.

After receiving the letter, she also received a call for help from Platform City regarding the Mugen Viruses. Figuring it was best to nip this Mugen Virus in the bud before it reached Sequin Land, Shantae accepted the call and headed off to Platform City. While there, she hopes to find any clues about Risky Boots, and anything about her mother or father that she never knew.

Weapon(s): Her ponytail.

General Abilities

Slot One: Hair Whip (Tier 1)

Shantae's trademark move. She uses her hair as a whip and deals physical/magical damage to the enemy. It is believed that this move is possible because of Shantae's own magic, not tied to her Genie side. She can do this as many times as she wants without getting a bad case of whiplash. However right now, this attack isn't at its fastest or strongest yet. This can be improved upon.

Strengths

Half Genie: She is capable of using magic and has more stamina than the average human.

Guardian Genie: As guardian of Scuttle Town, she is very knowledgable about fighting techniques (thanks to Bolo's training), and about those who often come and attack the town. She also knows about what must be done to protect others.

Platform Navigator: Shantae has travelled to other areas besides Scuttle Town. As a result, she can jump to higher places with available 'platforms' and crawl into small spaces that she can fit through.

A Friend Indeed: Shantae is a loyal friend and will always come to someone's aid.

Weaknesses

Half Genie: As half genie, she isn't capable of using all magic, all of the time. She can use transformation and teleportation as her own magic, but she has had to buy certain items in order to cast other spells. Her transformation and teleportation spells require her to dance in order to cast those spells.

Bad Influence: Shantae considers herself a bad influence with her temper, and fashion sense.

Anxious chewing: Shantae has the tendency to chew small items when she gets nervous (like her friend, Sky's library card)

Samson hair: If her hair is cut to a shorter length, then she can't use her Hair Whip.

Character Name: Banjo & Kazooie

Title: Legend

Kingdom: Spiral Mountain, Isle O’ Hags, The forgotten kingdom of Rare (former Nintendo protectorate)

Visual Description:









Written Description: Banjo is a brown, blue-eyed, anthropomorphic honey bear with a round, protruded muzzle with a spherical nose at the end of it. Although not visibly toned or muscular, he is rather stout and stocky for one of average height, clocking in at 5’10”, 180 lbs. With the decisive omission upper-body clothing or footwear, his outfit is about as simple and consistent as they come: a pair of yellow shorts fastened with a black leather belt, a shark tooth necklace, and his compact blue backpack that he is understandably never seen without. Renting out the space within said backpack free of charge is his best friend, Kazooie, a green-eyed, red-crested breegull (hybrid avian breed of fictional species) with wing and tail feathers that fade into yellow tips at the ends. She stands at close to the same height as Banjo, but considerably lighter at 5’2, 45 lbs. Despite her relatively close stature, she can still fit comfortably and seamlessly inside Banjo’s backpack, where she resides most of the time.

Personality: Banjo is invariably amiable, generous, good-natured, well-mannered, and laid-back to a near fault. He holds no grudges and takes nothing personally (Gruntilda notwithstanding), and he will almost always politely address strangers with the use of honorifics. Never wishing to offend, he is constantly pulling damage control to put out Kazooie’s behavioral fires on account of her big mouth. His simpler speech and inability to produce effective witticisms often gives off the impression that he is slow or inept. The biggest flaw in his character would be his non-committal tendencies indicative of laziness, but he has also been known to compulsively lie in cases where it would spare someone a harsh truth.

Kazooie, the polar opposite to Banjo, is brazenly obnoxious, sarcastic, mouthy, cynical, confrontational, and unapologetic. There’s next to no one she’s ever met without somehow insulting them, which has lead to quite the number of predicaments for her and Banjo (who seems to be the sole exception from her verbal slights). Though outspokenly tactless and uncouth, she is not inherently selfish, mean-spirited, or amoral. She recognizes just as well as any when the need arises to combat evil and injustice, and she will eagerly revel in the opportunity to stamp it out.

Despite their contrary nature, Banjo and Kazooie are nigh inseparable; the very personification of “opposites attract.” The one thing they have in common above all else is their willingness to help out others in need… and a knack for being charming as hell while doing it.

Game: Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie

Current Story: After defeating the revived Gruntilda and foiling her schemes for the second time, life has been relatively uneventful for the iconic buddy duo… unless you factor in a certain infamous non-canon spin-off and the turbulent franchise history that lead up to it. Before the grand promise of Banjo-Threeie could be fulfilled, their studio kingdom was unexpectedly bought out and taken over by another governing body. As a result, they were subsequently debased in a stupid-ass car building game that audaciously mocked and insulted the very legacy it acted to live off of while alienating the fans it tried to attract neglected with the changing of the times. Thus, their kingdom tragically receded from its former glory, and has not since returned to it. Many of its most loyal followers have clamored for a “true” revival of the Golden Age of Rareware - from simpler favors as having Banjo & Kazooie in Smash, to greater undertakings as proper sequels to the likes of them and Conker. However, licensing issues political barriers and the departure of lead creative talent external migration have sadly kept any of that from ever coming to be… but that hasn’t stopped others from trying.

As rumors of a “spiritual successor” began to circulate, they eventually caught word of a would-be stand-in duo from the Playtonic Isles - a newfound territory of the Indie Federation - set to take up their mantle. Predictably, Kazooie responded with scoffs of bitter contempt at the idea that anyone could replace her and Banjo, whereas Banjo, knowing full well the size of the shoes they hoped to fill, simply wished the best of luck for the two with their endeavor… whoever they were. As it turned out, they would have their own new adventure to embark on following the invitation to the funeral of a fallen hero. Excited by the very prospect, eager to prove that they weren’t just a pair of has-beens and antiquated relics, and simply having nothing better to do, they would happily take this opportunity to come out of their forced retirement to get back into the world that so desperately wanted and needed them. The bear and bird were back!

Weapon(s)

Egg Firing - From a crouched position, Kazooie can fire egg projectiles forward from her mouth or backwards from… elsewhere. Blue Eggs come as standard ammunition, but other ammunition types can be unlocked.

Squad: Alpha

General Abilities

Beak Buster - While airborne, Banjo & Kazooie invert and tuck in place before vigorously diving downward, powerfully slamming beak-first into whatever is underneath them. Devastating as an attack, but potentially harmful if used recklessly from certain heights. Cannot be cancelled, but hitting an enemy on the way down will mitigate fall damage.

Strengths

Physical Aptitude - With surprising strength, durability, and stamina, not betrayed by their appearances, they are capable of shattering boulders and worn, stressed, cracked steel with physical force alone, surviving some falls, crashes, even small explosive fire, and maintaining their pace even with critical injury.

Adaptable Mobility - Not the fastest at any of it, but the two can get around by just about any means they can manage, be it running, climbing, jumping, swimming, and even flying. There’s virtually nowhere they can’t reach.

Potential - Individually and paired, they have a veritable combined plethora of useful abilities to be unlocked. On top of that, they are fairly flexible in regards to what can be worked into their ability pool, and somehow, though inexplicably, they have even been proven to be physiologically pliable enough through magical means to be safely morphed to and from other living forms both organic and inorganic as needed.

Teamwork - Even while apart, they have an almost symbiotic propensity for working together; often times without even having to be present in the same area. Together, they can solve just about any problem or overcome any obstacle.

Weaknesses

Though, they are not specifically vulnerable or weak to any particular damage types, they have no definite resistances or immunities either, so most, if not all, forms of attack can theoretically affect them without proper safeguards. Furthermore, the two are individually weaker and less capable when separated. Although, together they have a shared mind and capacity between them for getting things done, they both lack in the way of technical knowledge, skills, competencies, or proficiencies (besides playing the respective instruments for which they’re named), and while they are capable of managing in combat, they do not profoundly excel at it in any way. This effectively means that they do not suit or fulfill any ideal role or position, which makes improvisation a must for them.

Achievements

Not since Rare Replay.
