Are you willing to have your character be put in the position of Praecordis/team leader? no
Preferred teams: Loyal Guardian, Golden Wings
Acceptable teams: Bleeding Heart, Silent River
Anti-requests: none!
Canon Character Summary:
It’s Mario, from your video games!!! No, like, from all of your video games. All of them. What happens when you connect all the major platformers together, and use the RPGs as connective tissue? That’s Mario.
He’s just a normal guy; a plumber with a parkour hobby and a bit of a bad temper when it comes to people bullying his brother. He gets into fights he should, and fights he shouldn’t, because he can’t stand people pushing Luigi around just because he’s timid and shy. Mario is used to fighting bullies.
It’s ‘85. No one else is going to save the princess, so Mario rolls up his sleeves.
And it’s not just princess saving. It’s his home being invaded by sentient weapons who want to destroy or control everyone. It’s the world being threatened by an ancient demon with a grudge. It’s watching a grieving man nearly erase the universe itself. It’s not knowing whether or not he’s going to reach the end and Peach is still going to be herself, after what was done to her. It’s fighting Luigi, when Luigi doesn’t recognize him, and Mario can’t seem to jog his memory. It’s...
It’s scary, but he does it. And he keeps doing it. And after a while it stops being so scary and starts being normal. Bowser’s at it again? Must be Tuesday. World’s ending? Yeah, sure, that happens a lot in November.
He forgets to be scared, most of the time. Nothing bad is going to happen to him - he’s been through so many scrapes, and gotten out just fine! It’s only when he isn’t sure what happened to his loved ones... it’s only when they might get hurt, or worse...
It’s Mario, from your video games. Boy, do those RPGs put him through the wringer.
Please give a briefly detailed list of THREE (3) memories your character has, with at least one of them being significant (memory loss is not permanent but may remain for some time):
1) Peach stops and tells him, in SMRPG, fighting Smithy’s gang, that she’s not going back. They can’t go back. They can’t run away now. Everything is at stake, and she can’t sit by and do nothing, either. (It’s the first moment he really, truly, falls in love with her.)
2) Luigi is scared. Luigi is always scared. Luigi is embarrassed, and lonely, and curling up with self-hatred, because he’s always so scared. And Mario takes him by the hands, and tells his brother, you’re the bravest person I know. Bravery isn’t about not being scared. It’s about doing it scared. You’re always doing it scared. And being scared sucks, but you still do it, and that’s why I’m so proud of you, Luigi.
3) What’s that? Mario tennis? Since when does Mario play tennis???
APP QUESTIONNAIRE
What is your name?
Mario.
Where do you come from?
Brooklyn, but the Mushroom Kingdom is home. I’ve lived in the Mushroom Kingdom longer than I’ve lived in Brooklyn. I have more friends and family in the Mushroom Kingdom. Brooklyn is a distant memory.
Do you have anyone you love?
Luigi, Peach, Bowser.
Luigi, my brother, my little brother. I’d do anything to protect him, anything to make him happy. He makes me mad sometimes but that’s just what siblings are. I couldn’t imagine life without him.
Peach, my princess, my beloved. She’s so fun and so inspiring. I’d fight the world for her sake and I know she’d do the same for me. Feelings too difficult to put into words, because that’s what loving someone for 40 years does to you: Rock, steady, kindness. A similar soul, a kindred feeling; no we will not let injustice stand, no, we will not sit idly by if we can help, yes we will kick your ass at tennis.
Bowser, my rival ♥♥♥♥. He drives me crazy but mostly only in the good way, now.
How do you feel about gambling?
Risks are meant to be taken. There’s a thrill in doing something crazy. The incredible feeling when you come out on top, even when the odds said you could never win! Which is why I like parkour stunts more than spending my money but sometimes there’s a game that’s just a liiiiiitle bit skill-based it makes me crazy even when I KNOW it’s rigged. Luigi says I’m not allowed to gamble anymore but what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him (lol).
If you witnessed someone being harmed by another, what would you do?
Intervene. Sometimes you can talk someone who’s in a lot of emotional pain down from making a mistake. Sometimes a bully just needs a punch in the face.
(Words combined with a distinct, unshakable feeling: Mario’s the “hero”. He does a lot of punching bullies.)
What was one thing that was a positive in your life? Why?
That’s hard to pick, there’s so many! But I guess I would say – when I realized that me and Peach could be friends. That’s the one I’ll pick. There was every chance that I would just save her and that would be that but... the fact that we get along? And we get to hang out? And it’s not a big deal or anything?? It makes me so happy!! She’s such an important part of my life and I wouldn’t know what to do without her; so I’m so glad that we got to be friends.
What was one thing that was a negative in your life? Why?
WHY DO MY LOVED ONES KEEP GETTING POSSESSED AND I HAVE TO FIGHT THEM??? FIRST PEACH AND THEN LUIGI AND HONESTLY I LOST TRACK OF HOW MANY TIMES IT HAPPENED TO BOWSER and it’s so scary when it’s Bowser because when he’s not himself I don’t know what will really hurt him or if he’s going to really hurt me but also -- (guy who is very clearly trying not to think about the Luigi thing) -- the memory of Peach laughing cruel as the world trembled and nearly ended, looking at me with such malice, not even a little bit herself. I want it out of my head but it will never leave. And Luigi not remembering me and saying he hated me was bad enough but THEN that freaking clown Dimentio puts him in a blender and now I have to fight a giant four story clown wearing my brother’s face??? No no no no no no NO I hated that so much I am so lucky that Peach and Bowser were there to fight him because I couldn’t I couldn’t I couldn’t I couldn’t I couldn’t.
Describe your ideals in ten words or less.
If you can help, then you should help.
I can’t forgive myself if I sit by and do nothing.
Do you consider yourself a good or bad person? Why?
A good person. No doubts about it.
What are your views on art and creation?
Yay yippee yay!!!! I love to paint I love to make I love to create I love to sing badly in the shower I think everyone should sing badly in the shower!! Art is fun and everyone should do it!!!
Do you often run away from your problems and feelings?
I never run away from problems. And I try and confront my feelings head-on, just like my problems. There’s no use in denying parts of yourself!! And there’s no problem the great Super Mario can’t solve by throwing himself at it a couple dozen tries!!
(Unsaid, but felt: But some of the memories are so scary and it’s not really running away if I just never talk about them – who would I even talk to about them, anyway?? I’m the hero, people gotta trust me. And Peach doesn’t want to talk about it and the less Luigi remembers about it the better and well... I’ve spent so long not talking about it I don’t even know where I’d start talking to Bowser about it. It’s just the scary things, though. The bad memories, from forever ago, it’s not like they matter anymore. I barely even have nightmares about them anymore! Most of the time!)
Do you find yourself judgemental of others' bad behavior?
If they aren’t ending the world or hurting people about it, I could care less.
Do you want to live?
The thought of dying has never even occurred to me.
