[FONT=Trebuchet MS][CENTER]Welcome, one and all, to Mushroom Kingdom. A fantastic city filled with busy people. If you were to stay a few days, you would find that this wonderful place is constantly under attack by evil. But no evil is too tough for our heroes, Mario and Luigi. At least, that is how it used to be.

Mario and Luigi are growing old and have decided they need another partner. Someone else to help them vanquish foes, to bring some spirit to the team. Together, they realized the best way of finding someone would be by starting an event. Thus beginning...[/CENTER]

[center][b][size=3]The Application[/size][/b][/center]

[b]Name:[/b] Your video game characters name. It would do you well to choose a well-known character. Also, this is a [strike]Nintendo-only[/strike]all video game character competition. [SIZE=1][strike]Mario and Luigi want nothing to do with [i]Crash Bandicoot[/i] or [i]Master Chief[/i]. Followers of the N solely. If you're unsure if a character would qualify as a Nintendo-ee, just PM me. Think of characters from Smash Bros.[/strike][/SIZE]

[b]Game:[/b] The name of the game or series your character is from. If they are from more than one and you don't know them all, just do your best and make sure you know at least one of the more popular games.

[b]Portrait:[/b] This is required. At least one picture of your character, preferably a full picture. A picture of your characters head won't do you much.

[b]Experience:[/b] What experience does your character have? Examples being rescuing princesses, bounty hunting, etc. I'm confident that you guys will get pretty in-depth with this, but keep it under 2 paragraphs and above 3 sentences.

[b]Reason:[/b] Why do you want to be part of the Mario bros. team? If you are evil, this would be the best place to say why you've turned good (or you could be doing it to get rid of Mario?).

[color=#333333]I hope this RP is a big hit, because I want it to live up to OtakuBoards Survivor's standards as a great RPG. Depending on the amount of people accepted, there will most likely be two teams.

I'll keep the sign-ups open until March 18th. Plenty of time for you to sign up. And if you're worried about being in too many RPs already, don't fret because this baby won't be starting until at least 5 days have gone by with sign-ups finished.

I encourage all of you to sign-up, even if you think you won't get in. Because you never know. All questions should be directed to me through PM for now. When the actual event starts, an underground thread will be made. You can refer to the [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showpost.php?p=691697&postcount=1]old one[/url] for now if you want a slight idea of what will be happening.[/color]

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=DarkSlateGray][b]Name:[/b] Kirby

[b]Game:[/b] Kirby's Dreamland I-III, Kirby Superstar, Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Kirby Air Grind, Super Smash Bros. (Melee, too), Kirby: Canvas Curse... The list goes on and on...

[b]Portrait:[/b]
[IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/95/Kirby_japan-website.jpg[/IMG]

[b]Experience:[/b] Well, he's saved Dreamland countless times from all sorts of villains: King Dedede, Dark Matter, Winged Nightmare, Dynablade, Meta Knight, Dark Mind, everything from swordsmen to kings to trees to demons to killer whales to painters to clouds of lightning and anything inbetween. Plus, he has one of the best jumps in any platformer and the ability to absorb the power of anything he can cram into his mouth.

[b]Reason:[/b] Kirby's ambitious! Saving Dreamland is great and all, but you can only save it so many times before it starts to get kind of monotonous. He feels it's time for a change! He wants to see the sights of the Mushroom Kingdom, check out the enemies, taste the local fungal cuisine. Plus, he's heard the reputation of these plumbers and wants to see if they're all they're cracked up to be.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=royalblue][size=1][b]Name[/b]: Mallow

[b]Game[/b]: Super Mario RPG

[b]Portrait[/b]: [img]http://webzoom.freewebs.com/countconkula/thumb_mallow.jpg[/img] or [URL=http://webzoom.freewebs.com/countconkula/thumb_mallow.jpg]Here[/URL]

[b]Experience[/b]: A long time ago I ventured with Mario and many others to defeat a man called Smithy. At first I was a weak and nervous fellow who was lucky to run into the red clad plumber, but after fighting in many battles I became stronger and soon discovered by abilities to control the weather and stretch my arms really far. We fought many villains together and eventually saved the kingdom! Everyone thinks that Mario is the one who always saves Princess Toadstool, but in fact I also rescued her once upon a time (well, I helped?). Since then I have reigned over Nimbus Land, keeping it safe from all evil that shows its ugly face.

[b]Reason[/b]: I truly miss working along side my dear old friend Mario and the rest of the old team. Things up here in Nimbus Land are getting boring; with evil officially out of sight. I feel like all I do is sit around all day and that my people are safe with or without me. I wish to help those who are in serious danger and need my special abilities. Getting to fight with my old friend and his brother would be an amazing honor. Plus, It would be nice to kick some butt again ;) [/size][/color]

[color=purple]Name: Conker the Squirrel

Game: Conkers Bad Fur Day

Portrait: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/Suzuki_Chan/conker_pose.jpg[/IMG]

Experience: Well, he did save his home (and himself) from being taken over by an evil king panther! He saved his girl friend from countless dancing in a cage in a night club, he saved fellow squirrels from the evil teddys, he beat a huge cave and got the girl (the cave mans), he fought his way out of a haunted mansion filled with zombie squirrels, AND!!!! he has a fluffy tail...

Reason: he's tired of just sitting around getting drunk all the time and not finding his way home! So, he decides to sober up by save'en the day again, but with the ever so great Mario and Luigi![/color]

[CENTER][B]OOC:[/B] *gasp!* How could you not tell me you put it up?! Might edit.

[COLOR=Navy][B]Name:[/B] Beatrix

[B]Game:[/B] Final Fantasy IX

[B]Portrait:[/B]
[IMG]http://www.soul-reply.net/genshiken/img/cosplay/beatrix.jpg[/img]

[B]Experience:[/B] Beatrix originally served as a personal guard of Queen Brahne, being the General of the Alexandrian force alongside Captain Adelbert Steiner. She fought against Zidane and his party under the queen's orders as she was blinded by Brahne's true intentions. As soon as she realised what was happening, Beatrix immediately swapped sides and did everything in her power to help Zidane and friends.

Her experience is fighting, being able to wield a sword with great power, and cast powerful magic from full healing spells to spells that will bring you to the brink of death. She's good at thinking fast and tactics, after all, she was a General. After hanging around with Zidane she has become a lot more sociable than she used to be, and she gets along quite well with Steiner.

[B]Reason:[/B] Beatrix needs something to do, herself and Steiner have both been protecting Queen Garnet since her coronation and both of them aren't needed since there's already so much security around the palace. She decided she should get out and learn more about other things like how to work in a business seeing as all she knows is how to fight, it should be a good experience.[/COLOR][/CENTER]

[B]Experience:[/B] Although there isn?t a lot of experience to be had, All that Marth has had so far is saving the world from almost complete and utter destruction from a dark Tyrannical lord. A former Prince that was exiled from his land. Marth was forced to go into a type of training before he was betrayed yet again by a loyal companion and forced to draw up his sword once again.

[B]Reason:[/B] After constantly regaining the throne as a prince, Marth seeks another place where he would be able to seek out where his talents would best be used. The experience that he could be able to acquire along side Mario and Luigi, it would be a change of style for Marth. Yet the way he sees it, is that a little change can be good sometimes.

[color=#333333]Woooie! Six sign-ups and one Private Message overnight. This is great. Well, I have got some good news. Since there has been so much confusion as to what video game character belongs in what category, I've decided to [b]expand the universe[/b].

I'm now allowing all video game characters. Go ahead and change sign-ups if you want. And for the rest of you, keep those sign-ups coming in![/COLOR]

[b]Experience:[/b] Waluigis main experience is pairing up with his younger brother Wario in order to cause mischief and mayhem in the Mushroom Kingdom. Having not yet reached his siblings level of notoriety Waluigi has kept himself out of the limelight, only steping out too give his special touch to the various sporting events that have recently sprung up around the Kingdom.

Aside from his incredible sporting prowess Waluigi is a master of explosives, able to use Bob-Ombs with incredible talent and skill.

[b]Reason:[/b] Waluigi sees this as a brilliant chance to remove the competion that Luigi brings in his quest to make Princess Daisy his. So quite simply Waluigi will feign goodness in order to win the woman of his dreams.[/size][/color]

[Color=DarkBlue]Name: Ada Wong

Game: Resident Evil 2 and 4

Portrait: [URL=http://www.aquamarine.nu/ada/images/gallery/off_render-re4-001.jpg]Here[/url]

Experience: ?Where shall I start? Besides helping Leon escape Raccoon City after the T-Virus was unleashed was my first adventure. My second lead me to Spain to steal the sample that was being held there, all the while, helping Leon again.

My biggest accomplishment though, has to be getting as far as I did in the Survivor Competition. I enjoyed working with everyone that I did and going against everyone I did in the contests.?

Reason: ?Very simple. A certain plumber sitting in the chair up there voted me off the Survivor contest. It?s time for a little revenge. Uh? I mean, I?ve taken a liking to the whole contest thing and this is just another way for me to try and make it to the top.[/color]

[B]Name:[/B] Wario

[B]Game:[/B] Wario Lands I-IV, Wario World, Wario Inc. and various cameos.

[B]Portrait:[/B] [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ac/Wario.jpg[/IMG]

[B]Experience:[/B] In his own humble opinion Wario has a knack for acquiring large amounts of gold through legal and extra-legal means. He is also immensely strong, capable of expelling even the most rough and tough opponents from his path with little effort. Despite rumour to the contrary, Wario is also very hardworking when the situation has called for it as well as being able to employ his vast intellect to problem solving exercises.

[B]Reason:[/B] Like his younger sibling, Wario and Waluigi constantly argue over who was born first, Wario sees the Mario brothers new enterprise as the perfect method to destroy them from the inside and fill the spotlight once their fame has waxed. Unlike Waluigi however, who is primarily interested in Princess Daisy, Wario harbours dreams of finally avenging the wrongs done to him when he was younger by Mario. In his own mind, having to play the goody-goody to finally beat Mario completely is just the icing on the cake.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Pikachu

[B]Game(s):[/B] Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon Dash, Pokemon Pinball, Pokemon Snap, Hey You Pikachu, Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pokemon Channel and Pokemon Puzzle League.

[B]Portrait:[/B]
[IMG]http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/1303/pikachu9od.gif[/IMG]

[B]Experience:[/B] Pikachu has been through numerous battles with a variety of Pokemon, he?s even been fighting alongside some famous characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Aside from battling all kinds of Pokemon and other creatures, Pikachu has also been involved in solving puzzles by himself and with help. To sum it up, Pikachu has had experience in all sorts of combat and fighting all sorts of creatures, from small, cute and fluffy to just plain ugly.

[B]Reason:[/B] Boredom could be a short explanation, really. Pikachu, always being seen as the cute one, only gets to play hero in the occasional Nintendo games that seem like a cheap spin-off (Pokemon Pinball, for one). Having tasted some of the action in two events with Mario, Pikachu now thinks it?s time for a change and he sees his chance soon enough and decides that maybe he could actually make it in the real world instead of running around making a name for himself as a cute yellow rat.[/SIZE]

You know, I dabble in heroics. Slay a foul demon here and save a kingdom from being enveloped by darkness for all eternity there. It's kind of a hobby of mine. I like saving damsels a lot. I like the rewards for it more. (Heh heh, boom, baby!). Pretty much I still want to impress Daddy, who died slaying the evil demon lord Baramos. I mean, sure, I kicked that guy's butt from kingdom come, but I still wanna show Dad I'm better than any other dude warrior guy thing ever. My dad is always walking around as a zombie. It's kind of gross and he complains I'm not worthy a lot, but on the bright side, he's kind of... well... dead. But man, my sword is totally radical. I'm gettin' side-tracked. I also want to impress the Princess. Then maybe I'll get to totally make out with her. Shyah! Anyways, yeah. I can, like, save the world and stuff. Boom, baby! [b]Reason:[/b] What better way to further prove I'm a great hero to my undead father than to join Plumber Bros. themselves? Plus, I'll impress the Princess and shwing! I mean, man, she is [i]fine![/i] If I could get her alone, I'd just take her and-[/left] [COLOR=Red][b]THE REST OF THIS PROFILE WAS LOST IN A FIRE. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.[/B][/COLOR][/size]

[COLOR=#ff0000][SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Victor Delacroix

[B]Game:[/B] Chaos Legion

[B]Portrait: [/B] [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/clegionart026.jpg][[B]Here[/B]][/URL]

[B]Experience:[/B] Victor, being a sociopath and psychotic with a lust for power, has had much experience in killing, summoning dark monsters and stealing power from those less fortunate. He's also very good at getting his revenge (or so he thinks) and appears to be someone who's excellent at thinking out strategies when it comes to planning out said revenge. He's also very nifty with a sword.

[B]Reason:[/B] I feel that I should change my ways slightly, as they generally cause people to avoid me. I miss friends and greatly dislike being attacked by heroes attempting to save the world from destruction. This will be the perfect opportunity for me to mix with better people so I can leave my old life, and terrible memories, behind.[/SIZE][/COLOR]
