Koopa Tyranny: Mario Bros. RP (Interest Check/World Building)

Actual RP: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14246969730A51668600&page=1#1

Story

It's been 100 years since the day Bowser finally won. He stole Princess Peach and locked her away. He defeated the Mario Bros. and had them executed for all the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom to see before his Koopa Troops trampled it and laid it to ruin. And after that, other Kingdoms fell, many countries and islands fell down to the power of the King of Koopas until nothing stood left to fight his iron claw. Evil had truly won.

In his old age, before Bowser's death, he has made various clones of himself, dubbed as the Tyrant Troops. They were genetically engineered to be superior to Bowser in every possible way. They're bigger, stronger, smarter, faster, and more vicious then Bowser ever was in his prime. These Clones were what was used to concur other Kingdoms until nothing was left. Nothing but the Koopa Kingdom.

But all hope is not lost!

For a new era of heroes have risen to fight the Koopa Kingdom. Rising up from the slums of destroyed cities, from the mines of slave camps, and wherever else hope can be born from. These heroes have taken it upon themselves to break peace back to the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond!

Premise

As the intro above told you, it's been 100 years after Bowser not only concurred the Mushroom Kingdom, but the rest of the world. And you, the player, is going to fight back against the Koopa Kingdom. You'll have to fight your way through Bowser's evil clones, his descendants who've taken the real Bowser's place, his minions, and save the world.

Pretty easy, right?

The world itself is an infertile wasteland: plants rarely grow anywhere now and the lush power-ups that were once inhabiting the land have long since become gone. Luckily, people have begun to create artificial power-ups, so they're half-as good.

Any Race from the Mario Universe will be able to be used: Humans, Toads, Yoshis, ect. However, if you're going to use something like a Koopa or Goomba, then I hope you can explain why they'd oppose their leader.

Lastly, seeing as how 'massive' the Mario Universe should be, you can incorporate any other Nintendo games into the RP. For example, you can use a character that is a Zora from the Legend of Zelda or have your character have PSI Abilities like from Earthbound (Or Mother if you prefer), but just know that no world or land is safe, so there's nowhere they could be free from the Koopa's tyranny, and you also should try to explain how Mario and said game franchises could exist in the same universe.

This is a no Extra-Life run.

Artificial Power-Ups

Here's a list of Artificial Power-Ups, created in both the use of tools, for the use of the Koopa Troops, as well as the main go-to weapons for the rebels. They don't work the same as normal power-ups of old, so just touching them won't do a thing. If there are any other items you wanna add to this list, write down a suggestion.

Super Mushroom: The basic red mushroom. They can't make you grow, but they do make consumers stronger for a short period of time. It's uncommon for people to eat them in large quantities since the more you eat, the stronger you get-but it doesn't make the time limit longer. Most people think that they taste terrible.

Fire Flower: Small flowers that are a bright orange color. They grant people the power of pyrokinesis powers. Ironically, the only way to pull this off is to light the plant on fire and inhale the smoke from it first. Somewhat counter productive like that. Naturally, coming into contact with water neutralizes the effect.

I'm barely two minutes into that vid...oh jeebus...I guess I didn't know how far it went.

However, I don't think some of those should count, like Rayman or Tekken since those are just costumes. After all, I can have a figurine of Mario on my shelf, but that doesn't mean he's real.

Yes, I'm aware. The author mentioned that in a previous video, explaining how the web would work with different "degrees" of connection.

Keep in mind that those are only direct crossovers with the Mario world. From Metroid you get stuff like Starcraft, Dead or Alive and Kid Icarus. With Zelda you get Soul Calibur, from wich you can get Sgt. Frog, Star Wars, Xenosaga and God of War. Think about that for a moment.

I see, but I did say other Nintendo Games to try and keep some kind of limitation. So unless Nintendo buys Lucas Films from Disney, no Star Wars. It goes the same for Starcraft(owned by Blizzard), Xenosaga or Soul Calibur(owned by Namco...I think), and so on.

I think I'm interested. Might RP a Magikoopa. Or a Boo. Or a Shy Guy. Or one of the Portrait Ghosts from Luigi's Mansion.
Okay, choosing a character might get difficult.

Does Metal Gear count?

Technically, Metal Gear is a Konami game, so no. Sorry.

And now, I guess I should write up the character sheet.

• Name: Neville, the Bookish Father
• Age: 42+?
• Species: Human Ghost
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: [1]◊
• Personality: Having a typical father's mentality, Neville cares deeply for his wife and children and is willing to do most anything to ensure their safety. When not threatened he is rather calm and relaxed, spending almost all of his free time reading.
• Skills and Abilities: Telekinesis, Levitation, Intangibility, Weakness to light. (Possibly later summoning Minor Ghosts from his book)
• Personal Equipment: One damn good book.
• Character Bio: In life Neville married Lydia and fathered the twins Henry and Orville. After all of them died he also fathered Chauncey, the ghost baby. Some time later all of them would get captured by Professor E. Gadd and turned into portraits untill they were freed by King Boo and moved into the mansion from Luigi's Mansion. There they were once again captured by Luigi and again imprisoned in portraits. Now however that Bowser has taken over, E. Gadd's gallery had been destroyed, freeing the imprisoned ghosts. To prevent further harm from befalling his beloved family, Neville then decided to take care of Bowser himself.

Hm...while normally I'd have a problem with canon characters-it has been 100 Years-he's a Ghost, so he's dead. So Neville is accepted.

Name: Kalois

Age: 28

Species: Shy Guy

Gender: Male

Appearance: Shy Guy

Personality: Kalois has a love of violence and sees it as the best solution to most problems. He's more than a little eccentric and loves a dramatic entrance. He also loves pop music.

Skills and Abilities: A Badass Driver and a master of Car Fu with an Universal Driver's Licence. Sadly, he's very much a Glass Cannon and has little combat ability outside of a vehicle, typically being reduced to an Action Survivor. He also has top notch hot wiring and vehicle maintenance skills.

Personal Equipment: Has a red and white go-kart and tool kit.

Character Bio: Kalois was a racer in Mari... um... Bowser Kart and was easily one of the best. Secretly, he hated the Bowsers. His great great grandma told him stories of the original, benevolent King Bowser and his archenemy/go-karting buddy Mario. These stories made him realized how terrible the new kings are and now he wants to fight.

Name: Gay Andy (just a placeholder name, a gold star to whoever gets the reference though)

Age: mid-20's-ish maybe

Species: Bandit (red)

Gender: Male

Appearance: Bandit (red)

Personality: Gay Andy likes to speak his mind and is a bit of a deadpan snarker at times. He has a bit of the trickster in him and he can't help but be a bit of a show-off.

Skills and Abilities: He's an expert pick-pocket (sometimes he'll just straight up charge at you though). He's a slippery escape-artist and security breaker. He may even be good at hacking (is that a thing in this world? Did Bowser smash the technology?)

Personal Equipment: Various tools for breaking in and out.

Character Bio: Gay Andy was just like every other bandit out there, robbing suckers and committing other acts of villiany. One day, he took a long, hard look at himself and said, "Bowser's society encouraged this. I gotta do something." So now, he will do whatever he can to aid a rebellion against the Koopa regime.

Accepted

No, hacking is allowed and accepted.

Awesome, then he's also good at hacking.

Welp, my character is almost finished. The actual RP will start tomorrow. I can't really promise an exact time, but I hope I'll be able to start it at noon-my noon is eastern time zone time.

• Name: Oswald

• Age: 25

• Species: Human

• Gender: Male

• Appearance: Light blue hair and matching eyes, pale skin since he mostly avoided sunlight most of his life, and wears a dirty tattered and just as dirty work pants and boots.

• Personality: Silent and somewhat meek, Oswald has a bit of cowardice in him. Despite this, he can be very selfless and will help whoever he can however.

• Skills and Abilities: Is incredibly smart and is able to rework and reverse-engineer most any form of tech he can get his hands on. He's not much of a fighter without some kind of item or weapon with him.

• Personal Equipment: A steampunk(ish) arm cannon that he found, the only piece of equipment that he found on a dead body on the outskirts of Toad Town. He was able to remove it, rewire it, and turn it into a stand-alone attachment weapon to his arm.

• Character Bio: Oswald was a traveling scavenger who went from town to town, collecting whatever junk and gear he could find and hoarding it. When he came to toad town, he found a grave siting with the shattered remains of what looked like a power suit, only the canon was all that was left of it, attached to a skeleton that had a few lingering pieces of armor left. After taking the thing and turning it into the arm canon he has strapped to his right arm now, he decided to use it as his chance to bring down the Koopa Kingdom! ...He at least hopes he can do this.

Is my character's name good as-is? I can't really think of anything better.

Albeit weird, but it's okay.

Awesome

Uh...sorry. I'm gonna have to reschedule the actual RP. I have some school stuff I gotta take care of. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Do you know when it might be up?

Yeah that would be a great thing to know.

Uh...the latest you can expect from me is Monday of the upcoming week, earliest being Sunday.

And now the actual RP is up.
