The Plot
![Paper Mario | The World Star [IC] Paper Mario | The World Star [IC]](https://i.imgur.com/Mkx9auC.png)
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

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.

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 PrologueQuiet Meadows
Quiet Meadows
Alex Koopmore
"…Is this the place?" A hooded, floating figure spoke.
"That's what it says here. Well, sort of. It's here, but it's near the edge of town." Another hooded figure spoke, looking at the some sort of device in his hands with an antenna sticking out.
"Well let's get to it! It's going to take us all day to find it anyways. Make sure those things you brought are looking for it too." The floating figure hissed as his 'comrade', as they started to walk down a path making their way to the town of Quiet Meadows.
"Huh, weird. We don't get many tourists." Alex observed the duo from afar, while sitting on top of a nearby boulder. He looked at the two hooded figures as they slowly went out of his range of sight. One was floating, and one was walking, but they were both wearing a rather large hooded cloak covering their faces and their bodies. "Oh whatever, they are probably just lost." Alex shrugged it off. The only reason people ever came to this town was when they made a wrong turn somewhere and needed directions to get back on route. Otherwise this town was fairly off radar and out of the way.
"Yooo! Alex!" A voice shouted from behind him. "Let's go to the town square, I got a fun idea we could do, hehe." Alex turned around to see his friend, Billy the Boo, wearing a hat like his own, in the same fashion as well. He was carrying around a yellow bucket with what seemed to be…water balloons? "C'mon, c'mon, let's go! I haven't had any prank action in a while!" His friend giggled, trying to suppress his incontrollable laughter with his free hand.
"What if the Mayor finds out?" Alex really didn't want the Mayor finding out about his shenanigans, especially not after the last time when he almost accidentally set fire to the flower shop. But the option still lingered in his mind.
"Don't even worry, Mayor Monty's got other stuff to worry about! He's a busy guy, he can't be troubled with some college drop-outs throwing some water balloons around! And if anyone says anything we ruff them up, like we always do!" Billy exclaimed laughing a bit, until he started to float off towards town. "C'mon, c'mon, let's go!" Alex shrugged as he followed his mischievous friend deeper into town.

"Hehe, see? Who's gonna say anything?" Billy boasted to Alex. They had reached the town square, and it was…not busy to say the least. The fountain near them, at the center was doing it's usual thing, and there was some random old Koopa sitting on the fountain's ledge reading the newspaper and almost seemed like he was dozing off. A couple of kids were playing around with some chalk, and then those two hooded figures from before were still lingering around.
"So, now what? What do we throw them at?" Alex shrugged.
"Hehe, we throw them at buildings." Billy looked around, until he saw a random store in sight, across the fountain from them. "Here, take one!" Billy handed his partner-in-crime a black balloon, and laughed with one his hand as well. "One…two…three…THROW!" Billy and Alex grunted as they threw the balloons as hard as they could. They watched the balloons zip through the air, until they hit the front window of the store with a big splat.
"Haha, that was pretty funn-" Alex stopped as he looked at the window, now covered in a bright, thick yellow liquid. It wasn't water inside the balloons, it was yellow paint! "Wait, you filled paint into those balloons?! You said they were water!" Alex shouted.
"Well if I told you the truth, then you wouldn't have done it!" Billy giggled as he looked at Alex, who although wasn't exactly remorseful about what he did, was feeling a little bit more neutral about the whole situation. "Man, I feel sorry for whoever has to clean that up!" Billy laughed some more, wiping away a tear.
"You've lost it, you know that?" Alex sighed. He was getting too old for these shenanigans.
