Introduction
The Ancient Relics. Supposedly created at some point in time, they have only existed in legend. Although no concrete proof has ever given light to their existent, countless stories have been told throughout time that talks of objects with extraordinary powers. Some people think they were created as tools of destruction, whilst others believe that they were created in order to bring a balance. In fact, it is even unknown as to how many of these supposed 'Relics' were even in existence. Many stories conflict with each other, and as a result, create errors in logic. One story claims that the Relics were remnants of a fallen meteor, while another states that they were created by hand. However, in the end, nobody really knows the real truth behind these ancient artifacts. But that's the fun part of the story, right?

Welcome to the Whispering Glade! A small, quaint town, nestled between a few mountains and a lake, this rustic town is a prime spot for living out of the way, and free from hassle! Living here is quite simple, and most of the folks here enjoy it that way. Simple shops, a simple school, simple eateries, etc. It's a simple town overall. Some popular spots around town would include Belinda's Café, Gillo's Grocery & Goods, and of course the Town Square to just name a few. Belinda's Café is run by a young Koopa named Belinda, and her café is a popular joint for cool eats. Gillo's Grocery is the go-to destination for all your grocery and item needs, and the Town Square is just a overall decent place to hang out, and possibly sit and relax by the centre fountain. On the outskirts of town lies the forests of the Whispering Glade, and beware: It's easy to get lost in there, especially at night!
You are a resident of Whispering Glade. 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 Ancient Relics are , they could be a complete mystery to you, or you could have some knowledge of related stories. Either way, you know the Relics do not affect you in any way, and they are simply there for the sake of story-telling.
The Roleplay Itself
Hey everyone! Back again with another Paper Mario RP! It's the summer, so I thought why not? My last one didn't go so far, so hopefully thing'll change this time around. It'll more or less be within the same Paper Mario Universe as the first two games (haven't played the others, so I can't really comment on those). You definitely won't need any Paper Mario experience at all to play, as this is pretty simple and fairly straightforward (I'm sure everyone here has some sort of Mario experience in one way or another, such as the different species, etc).
So, with that and 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
So, 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.

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 is allowed in the RP
- Do not question, or argue with game logic. This could potentially lead to unnecessary questions or conversations.
- 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 games, you'll know what I am talking about. Things such as breaking the fourth wall)
- 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 Sheet
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. 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. If you don't want to put in an age, you can just put in an approximate amount e.g- early 20's, middle-aged, etc.)
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! Also, no making up your own species.)
Personality: (Pretty straight forward. How do they act, likes, dislikes, etc. If possible, put this in point form with bullet points. We don't need a super long personality section, unles you really want to write out that much.)
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
Name: Attwell or known as "Att/Atty"
Species: Koopa
Age: Early 20s
Gender: Male
Appearance: Atty, like most Koopas, has a yellow-ish skin complexion. His shell is brown, and is polished to the point where it is possible to see a bit of one's own distorted reflection if they were to look at it. Coinciding with his brown shell, he also wears a pair of brown boots, and to top off his look he wears a green hat facing in a backwards fashion.
Personality: Attwell is a rather charming fellow. He tries to get along with everyone, although he can take a hint if someone does not take a liking to him. If he does happen to strike up a conversation with someone, you can be sure he will engage properly, and ask about their day and so on. This has given him a habit of talking too much, or rather unnecessarily prolonging a conversation longer than it should be (which may annoy some people). Otherwise, he is fairly pleasant to talk to, and is the kind of person people engage in conversation with if they want to rant about something to let off some steam, or simply about gossip. Admittedly, if the gossip is particularly juicy, he will partake as well.
History: Average family living in an average town, Atty's life hasn't been anything exciting. Grown up with a younger sister, parents and grandparents, he has lived with a full house his whole life. He spent most of his younger days playing and wandering about, and that is still all he really does, which is something his family often gets upset about. Wanting him to get a job, or actually do something productive, Atty just shrugs it off and lives every day like he usually does: Simple.
Attacks:
- Shell Toss: Your typical Koopa Attack. Atty retreats into his shell and hurls himself alongside the ground towards the opponent. Should be noted he gets incredibly dizzy if he spins around too excessively, and sometimes even a little bit will cause him to get fazed out.
- Melee: Atty can use his fists for punching if needed/bite, etc. Nothing fancy.
