No Paper Mario Experience Necessary!
The Plot
The Crystal Stars…Originally created long ago by the Shadow Queen before she was destroyed, the stars are 7 magical objects capable of giving the user powers beyond the ordinary. Legends says that all together, they help hold the essence of the heavens and keep balance in the world. As of now, they are split up into 7 different parts within the Mushroom Kingdom under the watchful eye of Princess Peach. Each star grants the user a unique power, however if fallen into the wrong hands, may be used for malicious purposes.
Speaking of malicious stuff, some strange things have been happening in the Mushroom Kingdom. Although tightly secured, the Mushroom Castle has had reports of numerous break-ins, with no trace of anything being stolen, or any major property damage. Thought to be just a series of pranks, they were shortly excused. However, rumors say that the perpetrator was looking for something. Something that was apparently not in the Mushroom Castle.

Welcome to the town of Quiet Meadows! A placid town in the western side of the Mushroom Kingdom, known for its clean air, fresh flowers. This place has inhabitants of all kinds and is very welcoming! Quiet Meadows has everything someone would need to live a comfortable life! Stores, shops, groceries, you name it! There are also two schools located here called Meadows Grade School, as well as Meadows College. The mayor's house (Mayor Montgomery III) is right on top of a hill in the town's richer part of town, known as Ever Hills. Mayor Monty is a rather nice old Koopa, who simply just refuses to step down from his position until he kicks the bucket. He's a passionate guy, so chances are if you need help, he can be pretty reliable. On the outskirts of town, is located the Quiet Cave, where one of the Crystal Stars known as the Diamond Star currently resides. The cave can be scary, especially at night, so never go alone!
You are a citizen of Quiet Meadows. You have been living your life rather peacefully, away from the busy life of the city. Maybe you go to school, or maybe you work. Or maybe you don't do anything at all! The terms of what the Crystal Stars are capable of, are a complete mystery to you, as not many people talk about it, other than it is simply just a tourist attraction and pretty centerpiece for your dining room. Least do you know, that you will soon know the truth about what is going on in the Mushroom Kingdom.
The RP Itself
Okay guys, welcome to Paper Mario: The World Star! As you guessed, this RP is based on the Paper Mario games, mainly from the second one (although the the gist is still trying to get the stars, it has nothing to do with the Thousand-Year Door). However, if you have not played those, than you need not worry, as it is definitely not required as I will be mainly explaining a lot of things along the way was we progress! So if you are interested, read on!
So, with the plot out of the way, I may as well get down the RP mechanics and how things are going to work. Firstly , there is obviously not going to be a turn-based battle system like in the video games. Just straight up battling. Pretty simple stuff. Your character uses his/her attacks to defeat the opponent. In the games there is something called "FP", or "Flower Points". These are pretty much your points needed to use your stronger attack. In this RP, we are completely getting rid of Flower Points for simplicity's sake. Instead, using your stronger attack(s) will simply just use up more of your energy. Items that affect FP, will do the same thing, except affect your energy. Be warned though, this RP is not completely based on battling, as there are also puzzles and interactions driving the plot for the RP as well. So even if your character is not much of a fighter, they can still come in handy. As for the world itself, the RP takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom, although the places we visit are going to be different than those in the Paper Mario games. If you have an idea for a town or place, just let me know and we can figure something out.
Items & Badges
Click Here for Item Database | Click Here for Badge DatabaseSo, items are a rather big thing in the Paper Mario games. In the RP, these items are also obtainable, but you will mostly be able to find them in the field, instead of purchasing them. Again, for simplicity's sake, every person is limited to only 1 item at a single, given time, and you are only able to find or purchase them with my permission first. Coins will be handled by me, so you need not worry about it (coins are shared among characters as a group). If you need help with what items are available or what items do what, just click the link above for a database. The items are fairly straightforward about their usage, so if you are unsure if an item is allowed in the RP, ask me. Any item that has anything to do with FP, does what it is supposed to do, except replenishes/decreases energy instead of FP.
And here we have badges. For those of you who are unfamiliar, badges are pretty much just used for giving certain abilities, power-ups, or passives. They can be found, given as a gift, etc. They are not a one-time thing, and your character will be carrying the badge around at all times (unless they choose to throw it away). Once again, for simplicity's sake, I'm limiting characters to only 3 badges maximum. Obviously not every badge can be used by your character (for example if you don't use a mallet as a weapon then the hammer badges are a complete waste). You need my permission before getting/finding a badge, so don't even worry about badges until I say so. With that said, I have a list of badges that are off limits/not available in the RP (They are off limits because some of them either just won't work properly in the RP, or they are redundant)If you need help, just click the link for a badge database:

The Rules
- All PC Forum Rules Apply
- No bunnying/god-modding
- This is pretty much a 'G' rated RP, so violence, romance is allowed. But no swearing, and I mean it. Pretty much anything you find in the Paper Mario Games/Manga is allowed in the RP
- Do not question, or argue with game logic. This could potentially lead to unnecessary questions or conversations about the Paper Mario Universe.
- I understand characters are technically '2-D', but no turning yourself into a paper airplane or anything out of the ordinary (if you have played the second game, you'll know what I am talking about)
- Let me know if you plan on being away for sometime so I can work something out
- Please post often. Don't sign-up and then leave, as it will be hard to get rid of characters. We will all be travelling as a group so it's important to communicate.
The Sign-Up
Name: (Your character's name. Make sure they are an original character. You don't have to put a last name if it fits with your character.)
Species: (What species are they? Anything found in the Paper Mario universe will do. Toads, Goombas, Koopas, Bob-Ombs, Boo, Little Mousers are all acceptable. Just no picking actual people, or things like Chomps. There's many more to choose from, so if you need help just let me know. Also, no creating your own species, the must be already exist.Or you can click here for the wiki.)
Age: (How old are they? I don't really have a age limit, as long as you are not 300 years old or anything.)
Gender: (Male or Female obviously)
Appearance: (How does your character look? Any clothes, or things that distinguish them from others of their species, maybe a different color? Try to make your character unique!)
Personality: (Pretty straight forward. How do they act, likes, dislikes, etc.)
History: (A really small history about them. You don't have to write more than a paragraph unless you want a really detailed history.)
Attacks: (2 attacks for now. One regular attack, and one stronger attack. Your attacks can be anything that would suit your character. If your character's standard way of battling is just punching/kicking/headbutting or anything physical like that, then just put down 'Melee' as your first attack. If your character uses some sort of weapon, let me know beforehand so I can approve it. Their weapon won't be available right at the start of the RP, just so you know. If you need help with attacks or something just let me know.)
My Sign-Up
Spoiler:
Spoiler:
Name: Alex Koopmore
Species: Koopa
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Appearance: Alex is noticeably bigger and taller than your average Koopa, and much of it is thanks to eating a lot. He sports a blue and red snapback that he turns backwards, and on his wrists are two black bands. His shell is a lighter shade of black, and the boots he wears are also black. His skin is the usual hue of yellow found among Koopas.
Personality: Sort of known as the town bully, Alex has a reputation of causing trouble and mischief with his 'gang'. They wandered around the town doing whatever amuses them. He likes to act tough, especially in front of others if he finds the need to show off a little bit. He's often cocky and arrogant, and if he sees a potential competition for something he will more often than not, go for it. He is a complete sore loser however, and so to prevent this, he may sometimes resort to cheating or 'cutting corners' to make sure he doesn't lose at whatever he is doing.
He is however protective of his sister. There had been instances where boys would make fun of her, so he would often take matters into his own hands, even though his sister is highly against his way of dealing with situations like those. Same goes for his grandparents, as he does have a sweet spot for them. Although they do know people complain about their grandson, they still think he's a rather sweet boy and people apparently 'misunderstand' him.
History: Alex lives in Quiet Meadows with his grandparents and younger 18-year-old sister, Elline. As a kid, he was always a little troublemaker. In school he didn't have much friends until he met a few other kids like him, who he then stuck around with for the upcoming years. They then started to pick on other kids, and eventually it just became a sort of something they were known to do. Although Alex never did anything seriously dangerous to hurt someone else, he wasn't exactly someone would go picking a fight with. Nowadays, he's a college drop-out from Meadows College, pretty much doing nothing other than slacking off and 'enjoying' life.
Attacks:
• Melee
He often uses his fists for battling
• Power Shell
Alex uses his large shell by hiding into it, and launching it towards the opponent. He can't control his shell all that well yet, so it has a tendency to go out of control.
