[OOC] The Mushroom Kingdom: Between Worlds

[Kafka Komedy]

My favorite thing about roleplaying is creating new characters. Something about it really appeals to me.

[Zardoric]

Oh, could everyone please post their favorite thing about roleplaying? I'm doin a survey

@tex

Character interactions and a good story.

[Lugia]

Already working on my app, and no, he won't eat other yoshis... mainly 'cause he only ever uses his tongue as a grappling hook.

As far as roleplaying goes... I'm usually the GM, so, I'd have to say getting to create a fictional world and see how others react to it, and how others change it.

@Lugia

Sorry I was joking, what I said was really funny to me for some reason

Alright man, looking forward to seeing your app :P

[tex]

Good to see everyone's active and participating!

Thanks for the feedback. I hope I can expect more in the future.

Oh, and since I've said nothing about it yet, the IC will start once we have our slots filled.

Also noting that I don't expect posts to be very long. Type what you're comfortable typing, even if it's only a paragraph or two. Longer isn't always better, and it isn't a contest by any means haha.

[Lugia]

Fair enough.

Blake

Name: Blake Shell
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Appearance: Other than the T-shirt and pants he wears, Blake looks like pretty much every blue yoshi out there. He stands at about 5' 7" tall, and always carries around a bag filled with items that can help him recover in battle... by which, I mean, the bag, itself, which looks like a basic, brown backpack, and looks somewhat worn... as for the healing items, well...

Personality: Blake was raised by koopas, and, as such, believes that he was, at one point, a koopa, himself. He believes that whenever a yoshi eats someone with their tongue, they, too become one of them, and as such does not exactly get along with his own kind. He actually used to have a metal bat to combat the yoshis, mainly by hitting their own eggs back at them, but, that was lost after he tried and failed to defeat Bowser in his own castle. He likes to call that fight a draw, but... he clearly would have lost if the castle didn't actually fall from their battle, knocking out both him, and Bowser, and even then, Bowser woke up a day before Blake did, so it really wasn't a draw, as he likes to think.

He can also be quite determined once he sets his mind on something, for example, that last Bowser fight. He literally ran through the entire castle, and had a swarm of enemies running after him by the time he reached Bowser, but didn't even think for a moment that such a thing might come back to bite him in the tail. Another example is what he's trying to do at this moment. He's trying to climb to the top of Bowser's castle from the outside... using his tongue as a rope. He already fell off of the castle enough times that his supply of healing items has dropped to just one basic bandage, and he looks more like a mummy than a yoshi at this point due to him using the rest of them from falling due to loose bricks that he accidentally pulls out with his tongue.

Blake was always the type to think of himself as a hero, and he would always help out whoever was in need, however, he was never as good as, say, Mario or even Luigi, so he would occasionally mess up and make things worse... not to mention the fact that he'd never help another yoshi, due to how he saw them. He actually made a sort of vow to never use his tongue against a living thing after he saw koopas disappearing from the village, and more yoshis appearing in Toad Town, which he assumed was because of them getting eaten, and changed. He did, however, eventually learn how to use magic, and, after losing his bat, how to fight with his fists, but he will never create a yoshi egg, or use his tongue against anything other than walls, or bricks. What he didn't know was the fact that the koopas who disappeared from the village were actually drafted into Bowser's army, and the yoshis in Toad Town were there because Mario had since given them a way to move between the island and Toad Town, and some of them just preferred to stay there.

Abilities:

Jumping Uppercut: The basic uppercut-looking attack that Blake had to learn to use after he lost his bat (called 'ol' reliable'). He can occasionally (but not always) even hit flying enemies with this attack... though, the enemy has to be close enough to the ground for him to reach them with a jump, anyways, so...

Fire Breath: Somehow, during the fight with Bowser, Blake found out that he can breathe fire, too. That being said, it didn't work too well against Bowser, himself, but it'll do a number on anyone not expecting it. The flame can't reach flying enemies, however, but can hit more than one enemy on the ground. Doing this also hurts his throat, so he'll only ever do it once per battle.

Lightning storm: Blake studied magic for a short while, and ended up learning this spell, though, he still has trouble controlling it... it can hit all enemies, but might also hit him, or his team. Fortunately, Blake, himself is actually immune to lightning-based attacks, so, as long as he's alone, there's no real issue with the spell.

First Aid: Blake usually has a supply of various first-aid items, and some training to go along with it... he just has to be out of battle, or the enemy has to be distracted for him to actually pull it off, and... at the moment, he's almost out of healing items.

Jump: Blake can jump pretty well, however, unlike Mario, he has yet to weaponize it, and, for some reason, sees no reason in doing so. His ability to jump, along with this next ability makes it easy for him to get around.

Grapple-Tongue: The ONLY thing he'll ever use his tongue for... climbing up things! He occasionally uses this after a jump to try to climb up tall buildings, or walls. He will NEVER use this in battle.

Weapons and Equipment:
No-stick Gloves: He doesn't like gloves, so he only wears these when he actually needs them. They're specially designed to not stick to anything, including a yoshi's tongue... as such, he only uses them when fighting other yoshis... which hasn't actually happened, yet.

First-aid Bag: A big old brown bag holding all of the basic first aid equipment, similarly to some bags in the Mushroom Kingdom, the bag never seems to weigh Blake down, no matter how many things he puts in there... of course, it can only hold about ten items at a time, so...

Fair enough.

@Lugia

Accepted!

You still need Tex's approval and then you're good to go.

[Zardoric]

I'm guessing that we are going to end up as something like a Paper Mario party? Or are we all going to try this as separate parties...

[Lugia]

Maybe, but that'll be kinda funny the first time Blake messes up his lightning storm spell. "What? You can actually feel that? Uh... whoops,"

[Filthy Mudblood]

Almost finished my CS, just a few finishing touches and it'll be up ^^

[Lugia]

Hey, @Jensoman, mind if I add a couple other skills to my character? I kinda forgot them when I posted the CS.

Jump: Blake can jump pretty well, however, unlike Mario, he has yet to weaponize it, and, for some reason, sees no reason in doing so. His ability to jump, along with this next ability makes it easy for him to get around.

Grapple-Tongue: The ONLY thing he'll ever use his tongue for... climbing up things! He occasionally uses this after a jump to try to climb up tall buildings, or walls. He will NEVER use this in battle.

@Lugia

Those are also accepted :P

I don't really see a reason for him to not use the grapple tongue ability in battle, unless Blake himself just dislikes doing that. I don't really see an issue if he would do that personally.

So he could totally do that if you wanted.

I'm pretty sure that, in terms of his tongue, you're allowed to get pretty creative to an extent.

[Lugia]

He actually took a vow to not use his tongue against living things at one point, so, yeah.

@Lugia

This shouldn't include Items or food, either... just a suggestion.

Rosalina

More Realistic Image

---

Age;
Unknown (time is altered in space)

Gender;
Female

Appearance;
Standing at 5'6", Rosalina is both tall and slender, a picture of grace. Her complexion is extremely pale, almost completely white, and, when looked at closely enough, a soft glow coming from beneath her skin can be seen. Her hair is a very light platinum blonde colour, cut in a choppy, disarrayed style that usually completely covers her right eye. Speaking of eyes, hers are a very light blue colour, almost exactly matching the colour of her dress, and described as being 'only matched by the colour of the galaxy clouds of the Mushroom World'. Her style is equally stunning, her usually opting for a sweeping ball gown lined with silver and dropping down at her shoulders.

Personality;
Rosalina is a generally wise, kind, and a mature character. She has an intimate knowledge of the universe and cares deeply for the Lumas, where she assumes the role of the total caregiver for them. Rosalina is a calm and reserved girl, always thinking before she acts and being the one to plan before springing into action.

Beneath her introverted nature is a sorrowful young woman that is, above all, just lonely. A part of Rose yearns for companionship, whether that is from a lover or merely a friend. She certainly has a good heart, and will always lend a hand when needed, but she does have a dark side to her. She feels all of the negative parts of being a human, such as sadness and indeed jealousy.

When it comes to socialising, Rosalina is particularly shy. She will speak when spoken to politely, revealing only reserved sweetness, but it takes someone that really knows her to recognise her true beauty. With men, she is a little bewildered, and has often been lectured by both Princess Peach and Daisy for her lack of expertise. If she was going to be completely honest, she would reveal the fact that she has always had a small crush on Mario, but has remained as good friends with him all the while.

---

_{- - - - (Power Matrix)}
Abilities;
Force Field Generation: Rosalina can create force fields. She can be protected by a force field that resembles a bubble. She can also surround her home, the Comet Observatory with a huge force field, transforming it into a starship as a form of transportation.

Levitation: Like the Lumas, Rosalina can also levitate herself in the air.

Telepathy: She has the ability to speak via telepathy, meaning that she can make her voice heard in another's mind. This ability of hers can reach up to five people, anything outside of these limits takes a big toll on her energy.

Teleportation: Rosalina will transport herself from Earth to Space in times of trouble. If holding onto her, one other being can also be teleported, but this greatly depends on the size of the being.

Weapons and Equipment;
Star Wand: The source of her power, gifted to her from the Lumas, it is always with her. Although it looks fragile, it is near impossible to break and ridiculously heavy to all those that carry it with harmful intentions.

[Lugia]

Well, right now he thinks he's never going to use it in battle, but I'm sure there will be situations where he can still use it without breaking his own personal vow.

[Holy Soldier]

@Filthy MudbloodShe better not hint to Mario about her crush or he won't leave her alone.

[Jensoman]

He actually took a vow to not use his tongue against living things at one point, so, yeah.

@Lugia

Oh, alright.

Wasn't sure if it was because of Blake's personal dislike or not. Just wanted to make sure you wouldn't end up limiting yourself for no reason.

[tex]

<Snipped quote by Lugia>

Accepted!

You still need Tex's approval and then you're good to go.

@Jensoman

You're approved, mr yoshi hitler, lel

[tex]

@Filthy Mudblood Accepted, and with that, we have a full cast.

@Zardoric currently the plan is to party up from the start, but there will be times where the main group is split up. You can split up on your own if you wish, and are free to do literally anything you'd like as long as you're not breaking rules, buy I will be guiding the characters in a particular direction through -chapters-

There may be a '7 plot ticket' scenario like with thr crystal stars and star spirits, but I've yet to decide on whether or not to completely rip paper mario's story structure.
