In-character thread

One thousand years after the second Fall of the Mushroom Kingdom, its original heroes and stories have become mere legend. Life is peaceful and prosperous in the residential district of Toad Town. Today is 'Shroom 1, 1000 A.F., and the legends of old say that one of the Power Stars - magic objects with the ability to make your wishes come true - will land tonight on the roof of the grandest building in all the land: Princess Peach's castle.

True or not, Peach just loves to throw parties, and she's invited Mario and Luigi, the two most competent plumbers in the country. She might have even baked them a cake. But, of course, this is not their story.

No, it's your story. You are part of the Princess' specialized security detail. High-ranking military officers, if you will. The word on the street is that nefarious King Koopa, Bowser, believes in the legend of the falling Power Star, and may attempt to storm Peach's castle to steal it. Even if the legend is bogus, you've got to keep watch at the party. After all, the events tonight could be the start of your... Second Story.

Spoiler: What is this? (click to show/hide)

This is a tactical RPG based on the Super Mario video game series. The very first RPG I ever ran on this forum was known as Mushroom Kingdom Wars. It had a lot of good and bad elements, and I ran it into the ground due to a variety of reasons. I'm now returning to the Mario-inspired setting for a fun, lighthearted romp that pulls inspiration from both Nintendo game series and other tactical RPGs.

This setting is similar to the ones found in the Paper Mario series. Silly humor and talking monsters galore. I hope you enjoy it.

Spoiler: Character creation (click to show/hide)

To create a character for MKW: SS, follow the steps outlined below.

Step One: Fill out the Race and Statistics column by choosing a Race and copying its info into your sign-up sheet.
Step Two: Choose your Ability Paths. Ability Paths are one, two or three-word phrases that determine your character's combat abilities, level up options and general play style. They're detailed more under the Ability Paths spoiler.
Step Three: Determine your Growths by allocating 300 points among each of your stats. These determine the chance a statistic will increase when you level up. For example: if you put 80% for DEF, your DEF will have an 80% chance to increase every time you level up.

Code: (Character Sheet) [Select]

Name: Your character's name. This has little to no impact on the game.
Race: Your character's race. This determines their starting statistics and may grant them an Ability or Disadvantage.
Gender: Your character's gender. This has little to no impact on the game.
Appearance: Your character's appearance. Keep it brief - the only time I'd be drawing them is their map/talk sprites, and that's just their head/neck.
Bio: Your character's biography. Be creative. How'd they end up part of the Mushroom Kingdom Royal Guard?

Primary Ability Path: Write out a name and short description.
Secondary Ability Path: Write out a name and short description.
Tertiary Ability Path: Leave this blank unless otherwise stated.

Spoiler: Race (click to show/hide)

This is a list of the starting races that can sign up as part of Princess Peach's royal guard. If you choose an alternate species option then please note it in the Race section of your character sheet.

Human



Humans are a versatile race: jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Next to Toads, they're the most common residents of Toad Town. Humans do not gain any special abilities, but they do gain an additional 50 points to add to their Stat Growths due to being quick learners. Don't forget this when jotting down your abilities!

Starting stats:
HP: 18
SP: 8
POW: 6
DEF: 4
BRI: 4
SPI: 4
SPD: 5
STACHE: 6

Alternate species options:
Flame-attuned (Humans who have the power of flames in their soul. They're physically unstable due to the energy they constantly produce. They gain the Tertiary Ability Path "Flame-attuned," granting them a fireball ability that slowly grows in power at the cost of -5 HP and -2 DEF.
Heroic (Some Humans are just lucky. They've never had much of a need for training or hard work as helpful boons practically fall from the sky for them. They gain +5 STACHE at the cost of -80% in Growths.)

Toad



Toads are hardy, diligent works. They have the highest raw strength of any of the humanoid races but lack the innate knack for magic most have. Despite this, their suppressed magical potential presents itself in a different way: they regenerate HP equal to their Brilliance at the start of each turn.

Starting stats:
HP: 22
SP: 5
POW: 8
DEF: 6
BRI: 3
SPI: 2
SPD: 4
STACHE: 5

Alternate species options:
Cave Mushroom (A type of Toad born underground. Typically wears a black-and-blue outfit instead of a red-and-white one. Gains a natural +30% SP growth at the cost of -3 BRI. This type of Toad is totally inept with magic but has greater reserves for performing special attacks with its weapons.)
Dryite (A type of Toad born in the desert. Typically wears a long series of cloth straps instead of the traditional Mushroom-themed outfit. Having grown up in an area filled with large beasts, they're stealthier than normal, but the danger of magic is totally alien to them. +2 to starting SPD at the cost of -2 starting SPI.)

Goomba



Goombas are angry fungal creatures. It's not common for them to sign up as a Royal Guard member, but it can happen. They do not have any arms with which to wield weapons, instead often choosing to train in magic-based Ability Paths. For this reason, they are the most magically-attuned of the common races.

Starting stats:
HP: 14
SP: 10
POW: 4
DEF: 2
BRI: 10
SPI: 7
SPD: 5
STACHE: 3

Alternate species options:
Gloomba (A Gloomba born and raised in the Mushroom Kingdom's sewer systems. They have a natural blue or purplish hue. Their cave adaption ensures they're naturally tougher, but being raised outside of civilization makes them unfamiliar with common magic. They gain +3 DEF at the cost of -3 SPI.)
Paragoomba (A Goomba with wings. They naturally have +4 SPD and can easily cross harmful terrain. However, taking a hit from a non-magical attack grounds and dazes them for a turn, temporarily removing their flight/movement capability and cutting their DEF in half.)

Koopa Troopa



Koopas are a turtle-like creature with hard shells and and a long life span (but low life expectancy). They have the highest DEF of any of the humanoid races. They are also able to retreat into their shells to resist further damage.

Starting stats:
HP: 15
SP: 10
POW: 6
DEF: 8 (changed from 10 because that's way OP)
BRI: 6
SPI: 3
SPD: 4
STACHE: 3

Alternate species options:
Parakoopa (Parakoopas are Koopa Troopas with wings. hey naturally have +4 SPD and can easily cross harmful terrain. However, taking a hit from a non-magical attack grounds and dazes them for a turn, temporarily removing their flight/movement capability and cutting their DEF in half.)
Dry Bones (Dry Bones are durable, skeleton-like Koopas. They're suspectible to magic, though, with a -2 SPI penalty. When they reach 0 HP, they'll automatically revive at 1 HP the following turn. They may only do this once per battle.)

Shy Guy



Shy Guys are the most versatile of the humanoid races. They hide behind a cookie-cutter mask and dislike combat, taking a penalty of -50% Growth on creation. However, to make up for this, Shy Guy characters may take a Tertiary Ability Path of their choosing to compliment their Primary and Secondary Ability Paths.

Starting stats:
HP: 15
SP: 10
POW: 5
DEF: 5
BRI: 5
SPI: 5
SPD: 5
STACHE: 5

Boo



Boos are crafty floating spirits. They're physically frail but highly deceptive and have the highest natural STACHE of the common races. When they're adjacent to any non-ally combatant, their SPD is reduced to 1 as they phase out of the waking world, hoping no one will notice them. To compensate, Boos have all the flying ability of the Para-races with none of the drawbacks.

Starting stats:
HP: 12
SP: 10
POW: 3
DEF: 4
BRI: 6
SPI: 5
SPD: 6
STACHE: 9

Alternate species options:
Dark Boo (Dark Boos are Boos that have faded even further from the waking world. They take on a smoky purple hue. At the cost of -2 STACHE, they can move through enemies as well as allies unharmed.)

Yoshi



Yoshis are friendly, raptor-esque creatures with long tongues. They're the speediest of the common races. If they deal the finishing blow to a foe, they can create an egg out of the foe as a long-range throwing weapon with similar stats to the original foe.

Starting stats:
HP: 16
SP: 8
POW: 6
DEF: 5
BRI: 4
SPI: 5
SPD: 7
STACHE: 4

Fuzzy



Fuzzies are troublemaking creatures with a paranoid demeanor and a love of (chewing on) nature. They're covered in prickly black spines, and their fangs are perfect for sucking the sap out of trees (or the blood out of foes). While their starting stats are lower than most races, Fuzzies are a great long-term investment due to their racial Tertiary Ability Path: "Friendly Fighting." Over time, they accumulate traits that naturally boost the combat effectiveness of both their teammates and themselves.

Spoiler: Ability Paths (click to show/hide)

Ability Paths are the most important part of character creations as they determine the abilities you can gain on level up. To choose an ability path, just pick a name and a short description for it on character creation. For example, let's assume you want to be a light-themed mage. You choose "Solar Magic" as your Primary Ability Path. Your level up boons might be as follows:

Primary Ability Path: Solar Magic
Level 1: Blinding Flash
Level 2: Sunray/+5 SP
Level 3: +3 BRI, +3 SP/+3 SPI, +3 HP
Level 4: Solar Weapon
Level 5: Greater Sunray/Greater Blinding Flash
Etc.

See the "/" there? That mark indicates options. When you achieve that character level, you must choose between one of those level up boons but not both. This allows for slightly more customization of your character.

A Secondary Ability Path is slightly different. With a Secondary Ability Path, the rate of progression is slowed, and you gain its abilities at one half the usual rate. For example, let's assume Solar Magic was your Secondary Ability Path:

Secondary Ability Path: Solar Magic
Level 2: Blinding Flash
Level 4: Sunray/+5 SP
Level 6: +3 BRI, +3 SP/+3 SPI, +3 HP
Etc.

Normally, you cannot choose a Tertiary Ability Path except in special cases. A Tertiary Ability path grants level up boons at an incredibly slow pace. Its boons are only achieved every three character levels.

There is no limit on Ability Path choice. However, if you're looking for some ideas, the following paths are thematically appropriate:

-Stomp Specialist: You draw power from the force in your footsteps.
-Sword & Board: You're trained in fighting with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.
-Natural Savant: Also known as "Geomancy," you're naturally attuned to the world and can command the elements to do your bidding.
-Dashing Rogue: You're generally dexterous and can snatch goodies from your foes once in a while.

Spoiler: Common terms and explanations (click to show/hide)

There's a lot of shorthand in this game, so for people unaware, I'll be adding terms as we discover them. Ctrl+F if you're looking for a specific thing.

Knocked Out: Instead of simply keeling over like foes do, Players and important NPC allies "knocked out" upon reaching 0 HP. When a player is Knocked Out, they can no longer move or take actions and have until the end of the next Player Turn to receive some kind of healing. If they are not healed by then, they die. The total effect of healing on a Knocked Out character is halved.
Type: both Weapons and Spells have a Type determined by the type of damage they deal. There are six primary Types: Slash, Pierce, Crush, Elem, Pure, and Void. For more details on the Type Triangle, see the Type Triangle spoiler.
Adjacent: anything one tile north, west, east or south of you.
Diagonal: anything one tile northeast, northwest, southeast or southwest of you. While most of the game runs on an "adjacent tiles" system, some abilities call for diagonal spaces.
Inventory: The things you're carrying on your person. You can only effectively carry up to four items at any given time (this includes equipped weapons, armor and other things). There are a couple ways of increasing this.
RNG: Range, or how many tiles away a weapon/ability is effective. A range of 2 means you can ONLY hit units 2 tiles away, but 1-2 means either 1 or 2 tiles away.
Free actions: any action that does not use up your Movement or Action Phases. Two examples are Talking and Trading. Trading items is a special case as it requires you to be within RNG 1 of the person you trade with before or after your Movement Phase, but otherwise has no restrictions.
Stacking: some status effects "stack." As in, repeatedly being afflicted with the effect will increase its effectiveness. Even when a status effect does not stack, being struck with the same effect again may renew its duration (from 1/3 turns remaining to 3/3, for example).

Spoiler: Dungeons (click to show/hide)

A Dungeon is a special type of Mission with a far larger battle map. In a Dungeon, the normal rules of combat are extended. You don't see the whole map at once: instead, it's revealed as you move. The final boss of a chapter usually resides at the end of a Dungeon.

There are some special objects that very rarely appear outside dungeons.

Treasure: Generally marked by a big T, Treasure is picked up by landing on the tile containing it. You don't know what the Treasure is until you pick it up!
Treasure Chest: Treasure Chests contain Treasures. They use up an Action Phase to open and are often guarded by enemies.
Trap: Passing over a Trap activates it, springing some unwanted effect on the activating user. Tiles that contain Traps are never listed in the opening terrain spoiler. Most Traps disappear after one activation. Flying units are not immune to most traps.
Wanderer: A Wanderer is a special type of enemy that is nearly as powerful as or more powerful than the boss of the dungeon. Killing a Wanderer grants no EXP, so it is usually best to avoid them when possible.
Switch/lever: Switches and levers can be activated with your Action Phase. They can change things like the layout of the dungeon.

Spoiler: Type Triangle (click to show/hide)

When you execute an attack or cast a spell with a Type, that Type becomes your Current Type. Any time you're targeted by a Type of attack with an advantage against your Current Type, that attack receives a +30% chance to hit and a base +2 damage. On the other hand, if you're targeted by a Type of attack with a disadvantage against your Current Type, that attack incurs a -30% chance to hit and a base -2 damage.

There are two triangles as represented above: Weapon and Magic. An arrow pointing to a Type represents an advantage (for example, Slash has an advantage over Crush). Explanations for the Types can be found below.

Slash: Bladed weaponry, mostly swords. A few natural attacks deal Slash damage. The most balanced of the weapon types.
Pierce: Polearms and other weapons that strike straight. Bows are also Pierce weapons. Enemies with Retaliate usually retaliate with Pierce attacks (for example, Spiked Goombas). Pierce weapons usually deal less damage than others but have a high Crt and/or hit bonus.
Crush: Anything that slams into a foe. Most natural attacks deal Crush damage. These weapons are usually inaccurate but powerful.
Elem: Elemental magic that draws on nature for its power. Has the most direct-damage spells. NOTE: 'Elem' is not a type on its own but rather a heading for another subcategory of Types. See below.
Pure: Pure magic that draws on the user for its power. Has the highest SP cost but the widest array of effects.
Void: A rare type of magic that draws on dark, unseen forces for its power. Has the lowest SP cost and focuses on utility and debilitation rather than direct damage.

Elemental (or Elem) magic is always broken down into one of three subtypes. Each subtype has an advantage against Void and a weakness to Pure, but these specialized Types also have strengths and weaknesses of their own.

Ice: Ice magic is often used to disable or otherwise hinder voes. An Ice specialist will gain terrain-transformation spells earlier than any other type of mage. Advantage against Elec, disadvantage against Fire.
Elec: Elec magic is the black sheep of elemental magic. While this subtype has many basic damage spells, Elec magi eventually learn to do bizarre things like create wormholes, cause storms and blind foes. Advantage against Fire, disadvantage against Ice.
Fire: Fire magic is your traditional 'blow stuff up' school of magic. Adherents can eventually learn the most damaging spells in existence. A common alternate use of Fire magic is battlefield control by way of temporary flame walls. Advantage against Ice, disadvantage against Elec.

Finally, there's one special Type so rare that it's almost not worth mentioning: Star. Very little is known about the Star type except that its abilities cannot be learned through natural study or training.

Spoiler: Experience points and leveling up (click to show/hide)

Most actions in combat grant some degree of EXP. However, EXP is given to the party rather than on an individual basis. When the party's EXP reaches 100+, they level up, rolling for stat boosts and gaining Ability Path boons. A non-comprehensive list of actions that grant EXP are listed below.

Initiating combat: +2 EXP
Initiating combat when you are 5+ levels higher than your enemy: +1 EXP
Initiating combat and defeating an enemy clearly weaker than you: +3 EXP
Initiating combat and defeating an enemy roughly equal to your level: +5 EXP
Initiating combat and defeating an enemy clearly stronger than you: +10 EXP
Using a healing or buffing action on an ally: +5 EXP
Using a debuffing action on an enemy: +5 EXP
Using any action centered on yourself: +1 EXP
Executing an otherwise particularly impressive action or feat of roleplaying: +5 EXP

Spoiler: Magic Map (click to show/hide)

This spoiler will always contain the most updated version of the Magic Map for reference.

I'll be taking six sign-ups, but it's not first-come-first serve. Player choice will be geared toward quality applications that provide for a diverse initial party. Even if you miss getting a spot, make a sheet anyway. I'll call on you if you're needed and your application was appropriate, but you didn't get in.

The in-character thread will start once sign-ups are finalized. If you have any questions, just ask them here.

Sign ups are CLOSED and the game will now progress. Please use this thread for any OOC chatter.

[kj1225]

Name: Kyle Johnson
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Appearance: He's a brown haired man with a brown eye and a black and red eye from the magic rage monster thing.
Bio: Kyle is an odd one. He always was researching some way to use his magic without the typical yelling of spells and movements, then one day he figured it out. He found it was possible to create weapons that used the users magic to attack instead of the usual arrows/bullets/what have you. Unfortunately he also turned in to a monster that knew only rage and went on a small rampage resulting in him being locked up in a dungeon for a few months until he calmed down. But after that he sold the invention and new found abilities to the royal guard.

Primary Ability Path: Spell Slinger:  This class is based around using special weapons (Plot twist: They are pretty much just guns.) to fire bolts of magic
Secondary Ability Path: Magic Monster:  Over that long time in the dungeon he learned to control his monstrous side, control but not destroy.

So a shyguy can turn into a snifit with the third ability?

-Probably reserved.-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Tanky
Race: Shyguy(Snifit)
Gender: Male.
Appearance: Basically a blank snifit, no big difference between him and the others.
Bio: Tanky is Snifit that used to work with a squad of shy guy as the "artillery" of the group until they decided to follow their other paths, leaving him by himself. But of course he would look for his a new kind of life, a function that would fit with his style which happened to be just shoot things with his mouth cannon. For his surprise and luck, they had been recruiting soldiers to assist in some kind of important mission or at least sounded like that, and that was his moment to prove himself worth getting the job. After many days of training, practical exams, the snifit managed to join the group, but now he needed to fit in a new group. After all, it isn't fun to shoot things down if there isn't anyone at your side laughing with you.

Primary Ability Path: Snifit form: He is a snifit! He shoots cannonballs.
Secondary Ability Path: Toughguy: Tanky isn't hard to be taken down.
Tertiary Ability Path: More firepower: Sometimes you just can't take one down with one shot.

So a shyguy can turn into a snifit with the third ability?

-Probably reserved.-

If you want. It's mostly there for versatility. If you wanted bullet-shooting to be the focus of your play style, just make the primary ability be something like Snifit Form.

Mushroom Kingdom Wars? This sounds familiar...

Ooh, illustrations! Ooh, freeformschooler!

Spoiler: CS (click to show/hide)

Name: Gwoopa
Race: Male. I suspect that there is a typo here.
Gender: ...Female.
Appearance: A humanoid turtle with a golden shell. He wears a brown, mushroom-shaped hat, stomped flat from random people jumping on his head for some reason. He also has a spiked headband on under this to punish such people. In battle, he sheds the outer hat.
Bio: Gwoopa was a Troopa, a rare sight in Toad Town, especially with the nefarious Bowser giving all shelled people a bad name. Gwoopa lived with a pretty traditional family, a matriarchal clan of Troopas lead by gold-shelled witches. He was the first male gold-shelled Troopa born to that clan in over a century, which was quite a major event. He was trained in witchcraft, but left at a moderately young age due to not liking that he was spending all his time around witches (this was a bit before puberty). Gwoopa settled in Toad Town at this stage, lived from his magic and wits for a while, and joined the army as soon as he could. Of course, being such a rarity, the King hired him as a personal guard, although his actual duties were more like buttling and entertainment. Eventually, he managed to prove himself capable of self-defense, and was transferred to Peach's security detail as Peach's birthday present. He's served dutifully, if a bit sarcastically, ever since.
Okay, this departs a LOT from canon. Let me know if I need to stick closer, and I'll figure something out. Possibly a new character.

Primary Ability Path: Warlocraft--Various useful support spells and some actual combat spells, although not great ones.
Secondary Ability Path: Shapeshift--Can turn into a more Bowser- or Yoshi-like form, which is basically a dragon.
Tertiary Ability Path:

Level: 1 (0/100)
Total Level: 1

HP: 14 (30%)
SP: 8 (40%)
POW: 6 (30%)
DEF: 10 (40%)
BRI: 6 (60%)
SPI: 4 (40%)
SPD: 4
STACHE: 3 (60%)

Personality: A bit of a loner, in part due to not having a lot of social interactions as a child but in part just due to nature. That said, when he's talking with someone he's quite talkative and often vocal of his opinion (it was probably this that kept him so low in the military for so long), although often a bit sarcastic. Protip: Don't call him a "witch," he's a warlock. He also thinks quite poorly of Bowser, due to the discrimination Bowser has caused for Troopas.

Oh, and there's no step 3. Is this intentional?

[Taricus]

Well, I'll post this here, and put a character sheet in later.

Spoiler: Finally! My chance to play a shy guy! (click to show/hide)

Name: Bly
Race:Shy Guy
Gender:Male?
Appearance: A Shy Guy who wears an engineer helmet over the standard Shy Guy attire
Bio: Bly, like many Shy Guys, was once a member of Bowser's army, but after seeing Mario and Luigi cut through Bowser's ranks like a hot knife through butter one time too many, Bly defected to the Mushroom Kingdom forces. He learned soon after that, though he'd once been a blowgunner, his true talent lay with machinery. Bly's main purpose on the special security detail is to keep an eye on mechanical systems in the castle, like elevators, plumbing, or anything else that might go haywire from Koopa interference.

Primary Ability Path: Mechanical Aptitude - Bly can handle lots of different machines, and sometimes make his own!
Secondary Ability Path: Blowgunner - Bly has a knack for blowguns. He likes to put warpaint on first, though.
Tertiary Ability Path: Field Medic - Bly knows his way around a first-aid kit.

Not now, at least. I already spent three hours typing all that up. You can certainly have flame-based Ability Paths.
