@Jerkchicken I like dumplings but ONLY dumplings? Not even any real meat, or fake meat like seitan? Where's the fruit or veggies? Wheat? Potatoes? VARIETY?! How can you only have one kind of thing?

The weirdest songs get lodged in my head. I haven't even listened to it in years and BAM suddenly Dominick the freaking Donkey is hee hawwing all across Italy in my brain.
Timothy "Tim" Gaudete ✨ ☾ Lunar Prince of Space ★ ✨
Main Theme (Until I find something that feels closer)
Battle Theme
Transformation Theme
Character Name: Timothy "Tim" Gaudete Title: Prince of Space Character Age: 15 Character Gender: Male Nationality: American (Italian-descent)
✨ ☾ Appearance ★ ✨
Colors and general appearance:
Tim's hair is naturally a darker shade of brown and hangs about his face. When he is a Puer, his hair lightens to a pinkish-red and some strands defy gravity to upward. His eyes, no matter which form, are a bright brown. The boy seems younger than he is thanks to being around 5' feet and weighing in around 100 pounds. His demeanor does not help.
His magical outfit calls to mind a dark blue knight's tunic with black trim, although the hem of the coat extends down to form triangular tips around his hips. The armor gauntlets, boots, and pauldrons are of a light material while the cape attached to the pauldrons is a deep dark shade of red. The barely visible pants are colored light cream.
Outside of school he favors short-sleeve shirts and khakis or t-shirts with images of outer space or astronauts and a pair of jeans.
✨ ☾ Personality ★ ✨
Tim's disposition would suit a Solar Prince. Bright, sunny, and enamored with games. While he is eager to help keep the city safe from the evil monsters as any hero should, where a Sun Prince focuses on the bagging the toughest Shadows, Tim tries to beat his "high score" (or rather the number of Shadows he's taken out each night). While many times the high score is the focus in this and other cases it is merely the icing on the cake.
At school he is the first to blurt out answers no matter if they are correct. Tim tries to make friends with everyone he meets and will happily chatter about about latest Wild West movie he saw. Curiously, when it comes to recess he slinks off to an out-of-the-way section of the playground to toss a basketball against the wall.
In battle Tim wants to get right up in the Shadows' faces with the other Princes and is thus rather disappointed that his magic and weapons force him to keep his distance to be effective. The fact that he could die doing this hasn't fully clicked yet. He's either ignoring the possibility or is blissfully ignorant of it. Considering how the Moon Princes had to explain things to him more than once, it is likely the first.
✨ ☾ Weapons and Magic ★ ✨
Magical Weapon: Lunar Gun
Base form: Weak moonlight-energy 'bullets'. Can be used all night long. Can transform into other types of guns. Tommy form: Similar 'bullets' as Base form but rapid-fire and requires recharge after each set of 100. Rifle form: Long-distance but needs careful aim. Rocket form: Potent, explosive blast, but limited use (only once or twice). Heavy to hold and due to Tim's slight build could be accidentally dismissed.
Magical Abilities: On the Rise Creates the illusion of the sun. If it is closer to sunset, this gives the visual effect of the sky rewinding. If it is closer to sunrise then fast-forward. If it is around the middle of the night, the moon gains a golden light and the sky seems to bleed dawn. This spell is easiest to cast during twilight for obvious reasons. This has the added effect of changing his Lunar Gun into a Solar Gun. The weapon is stronger but the base form now has a limit of 100 bullets and the other forms are halved in number. If any Lunar alt-forms were expended, they gain about 10% of their bullets back or in the case of the rocket launcher just one. When "On the Rise" ends, the number of leftover bullets carries over save for the base gun.
Cold of Space / Solar Flare Can summon (in progression in magic cost) ice shards/pebbles, large chunks of ice, ice-coated rocks, or icy boulders. If "On the Rise" is in use, this effect changes to embers, fireballs, fire 'rain', and even rivers of magma.
Strengths: Energetic, eager to help, speedy little thing. Weaknesses: A bit dumb and naive. Easily pushed around (as in physically).
✨ ☾ Biography ★ ✨
Living in a household of two older sisters and their mother made life interesting and more than a bit awkward at times. Their father had passed away when he was very young. The family ended up moving to Tanzaku City when the mother was given an offer from work for another branch. As a small child Tim was often babied and his oldest sister took malicious pleasure in tricking him into playing dress-up. This wouldn't had been so bad if the clothes weren't from the girls' costume box and their mother didn't take photos of the results.
Life for Tim was otherwise decent enough. Lacking a father figure he looks up to Spaghetti-Western and other 'cool' film heroes, trying to model his behavior on them and generally failing completely. But something about the leads seemed to resonate with him. It wasn't the occasional loner attitude, and it sure wasn't the fact that they sometimes had to shoot people, but it was the fact that they always saved the day.
@Leslie Hall Whoo! As for Golden Girls RPG... it wouldn't surprise me if it does exist already thanks to "Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden" and "Jesus Christ RPG".
I updated Tim's sheet. Appearance, personality, some backstory, and themes. I also changed the Witch's title and gave her themes as well for the heck of it.
Mr L's internal rage meter at the start of the day: [__________________] When Proudmoor was banging on the doors: [OOO_______________] When Goombella started gabbering: [OOOO______________] When Sans threw Tacos everywhere: [OOOOOOOOOOO_______] After Mr L tried to work out what Sans was using: [OO________________] Gutsman showing up: [OOOOO_____________] Goombella whipping out Mister Greenie: [OOOOOOOO__________] Goombella saying that last abomination: [OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO__]
*rubs hands together in preparation for fireworks*
Mr L - What will probably end up being the Ruined Streets of Home at this rate
Unlike Goombella, the thief just can't believe that Sans's speed is anything natural. No. The dumb bag of bones is probably using a boost. Can't be a Super Star or everyone would be dead. Wrong colors for Rainbow Star. No ice so not the skates. Dash Pepper? No, he'd look more like a Red Bones then. Slow Flower? Academics aren't the only ones with near-encyclopedic knowledge of useful items and the world at large. Adventurers and thieves alike should know these things if they are any good. "Then again who knows what kind of crazy crap is coming from everyone else's worlds..." In the end while mostly useless the thought exercise helped to calm Mr L from 'justified' outrage to merely annoyed.
The human gives the scholarly goomba a bit of a look as she scribbles in her handy dandy notebook (that he really has to go through sometime to see if there's anything useful to him in there). "Who cares about some dumb animals? If they can't tell the food's toxic, that's their problem. And if you're worried about Mr Naive Children's Cartoon Character, don't. Whatever shitty Power Up he's using will wear off and he'll be back to his usual annoying self."
Speaking of idiots, that giant robot stomped into their vicinity. He's not as bad as O'Chunks but stars above he's... Ztars and curses, what's with the huge chunk of lumber? "It was a good morning until everyone else woke up." Mr L grumbles. Between Pridemoor and Sans the morning has been pretty much ruined. Here's hoping noon is - ... okay yeah, if the morning is any sign things are just going to get worse. "First of all: why you got a laugh track going? This ain't a sitcom. Actually, I don't really care so don't answer that. More importantly it aint L'ster. Mr L. Mister. L. Not L'ster. Not Luigi. Mister L. Why's it so hard for any of you to keep my name straight?" The hypocrisy is not entirely missed by him.
I am eternal, I am fleeting. I am everywhere, yet I am nowhere. People count me up, people count me down when you need me there is not enough but when you don’t there is too much. What am I? Time.
I can bring tears to your eyes and a smile to your face. I form in an instant and last for a lifetime, but I can be forgotten. What am I? Memories.
@Pudding@Leslie Hall I'm just going to ditch the time power if that's alright. I've been spending the last three hours or more rewriting and figuring out the costs and limitations and I give up. While thematic in the whole "time and space" concept and having the limitations be within a few seconds to a few minutes due to how fast combat can be and how much wide of an area the magic has an effect on... I'm banging my head against a wall for an ability that feels too much like I'm trying to imp Homura while keeping the spell from being overpowered with how long it can last.
The spell was expanding from where Tim had been at the point of casting. If he leaves the bubble before the time's up, it pops taking with it all the magic put into its creation. It effectively would immobilize everything within the bubble but not prevent, say, attacks from entering it. However any outside force would just freeze at the edge before resuming its projected path and speed.
The way I saw it playing out was a silver-white pattern emitting motes of rainbow light spreading itself out during casting on the floor from his feet or (if Tim was airborne) out from his navel in the air. While it takes a brief amount of time to 'load' (though this takes a bit longer the further out it has to spread), it is enough for a being to realize an AoE or something was about to take place and either target Tim or try to get out of range.
