Note:
Okay, so this is my first RPG. My good friend, Cacaruka, helped me make this. So she is co-owner of this RPG. Remember that, so she will also be able to accept and deny requests. Oh, and Shadowfaith helped me do this, so I want to thank Shadowfaith too.
The Godiants
Across eons and light years of space, between galaxies and solar systems, there lay one planet. Once the gods get bored, they decide to create a planet to simply toy with. This was one of these planets. It and its moon was crafted completely out of paper. The people, animals, rocks, land, and even water were all made of some kind of paper. Of course, if everything is paper, nothing is paper, no? Ah, well, that’s a phenomenon for another story.
Life began to grow, evolve, and civilize. One species stood out among the rest. The Godiants, a species of bird-like humans, was far more intellectually evolved than the others. Their prowess in knowledge, medicine, and defenses were advanced enough to immortalize them. The Godiants were a peaceful people, however, and sat back, watching the rest of civilization compete to match their prowess with their simple tribes and villages. Sometimes, the other species would even try to infiltrate Carax by way of canoe to steal books from their libraries. They would always be caught and sent back to their people. The Godiant’s leader, Tizora, was a kind and noble Godiant. Tizora supervised all the economic and diplomatic happenings of the Godiant island, Carax. All was fine in Carax.
Until the epidemic.
A disease swept all of Carax, appearing out of nowhere. The Godiants could only name this disease Death. For that was what it caused. Once caught, Death would give the Godiant it infected a horrible fever, cough, and barfing. The Godiants knew they would all be wiped out. So the greatest Godiant scientists came together to find a solution. They poured all of their time and work into it, until one project finally aroused.
To freeze the island Carax out of reality and dimensions itself, so that Death would not infect the other species. They built a machine to do this, while the Godiants slowly died out. The power source for this machine was seven powerful gems found around the planet, in the deepest oceans, hottest volcanoes, and driest deserts. They called them the Seven Sacred Shards. Each were somehow forged long ago by the gods who created the planet. Each one, when held by someone, would grant the holder great power and a fantastic ability for a limited amount of time. The Shards were gently, oh so gently, placed into the machine. The machine was finished and activated. In a millisecond, Carax winked out of existence.
The island wandered space and time, while all the Godiants were eventually infected by Death and killed. There was only one way to Carax now. The Godiant scientists made an emergency way into Carax, so that the other species could find a way into Carax and use their knowledge. A swirling black hole, which to other species, it was dubbed “The Master Portal.”
The only way into the Master Portal was to find the Seven Sacred Shards, and place them in a boulder in the ocean. The boulder was located directly under Carax before it disappeared. The machine that ripped Carax out of reality had been set to send the Seven Sacred Shards through seven different smaller versions of the Master Portal after doing its job, each which lead to another dimension, planet, solar system, and galaxy. The Godiants had believed that only the good of intentions and hearts would be able to find all of the small portals, get the shards, and place them in the ocean. These portals were dubbed the Oblivion Portals. Each Oblivion Portal scattered across the planet, and were deeply hidden. Other society began to grow and learn, eventually losing memory of the great Godiants......
Modern Times in the Paper Mario World
When the Godiants first created artificial intelligence, they created a being that was able to melt into the shadows and spy on other species, to see what they were planning. The Godiants did not think that the creature’s personality would be of an evil one. The creature destroyed the laboratory it had been born in, and tore off half of Carax, sinking it in the ocean. The Godiants called her the Shadow Queen. The Shadow Queen found out about the Godiant’s infinite knowledge, and tried to take over the world with it. The Godiants trapped her in a legendary prison on the coastline before she could find enough books and knowledge. The prison was sealed with an ancient chant, never to be opened again. Years passed until only a year ago. A mad man named Grodus tried to open the prison so he could rule alongside her, but she killed him in one blow. A hero clad in red named Mario tracked Grodus to the Shadow Queen. The Queen possessed the princess of a nearby kingdom, named Princess Peach, and fought Mario for a bit before Mario forced her control of Princess Peach out, and Mario crushed her. Mario sealed her back into the prison, thinking no one would make the dangerous trip to get her again.
Grodus had a secret android, however, which sneaked back to the prison. It was unable to release the Shadow Queen, but the Shadow Queen was able to speak to it. The Queen told it of the Godiants, and ordered him to find a way into Carax to find the knowledge needed to open the prison. The android, Eriolo, agreed, and left. Over a course of five years he managed to steal the most ancient documents, back when the Godiants had disappeared. Eventually, he found the story of the Oblivion Portals. Now he is out to get the Seven Sacred Shards, open the Master Portal, find the books he needs, and open the Shadow Queen’s prison again. A group of young creatures of all sorts now must stop Eriolo and take the Seven Sacred Shards before he can. Will they stop Eriolo? Or will they fail? Ah, little ones, the story will continue soon.......
Rules
Type in third person.
Only minimal bunnying.
Follow Serebii.net rules, and RP Forum rules.
Respect other members.
Reserving is allowed, but don't forget about your reservation!....Seriously. Don't.
Cursing is allowed, but block it, and not too many.
Violence is allowed, but not too much.
You are able to play as three characters, just as long as you can control more than one character, and the other characters are a different species.
Make and control NPCs as needed.
If you are signing up as an ally to Eriolo or the Shadow Queen, please specify that you are in your post.
You cannot be an already existing character. That means no Parakarry, no Mario, no Peach, and yes, NO GENO.
Listen to both me and Cacaruka.
More rules may be added as the RP goes on.
Any more questions, just ask.
Character Form
Name: (Simple enough. I only need the first, but a last name is fine.)
Age: (8-20)
Species: (Any species in the Mario world. I mean ANY. That means NPCs, partners in PM 1 + 2, anything. I do expect any video gamer to know at least what a Goomba and Koopa are, right? If its a rare species, like if it only appeared in one game, if it's one that a normal person wouldn't know much about, or if its not an enemy but it still exists in the games, you have to provide a picture.)
Appearance: (I don't expect this to be much, since they are just the species. BUT everyone has to have some difference between their real species. For instance, a Goomba character would have to have a hat or glasses or something to make them different from a normal Goomba.
Personality: (5+ Lines.)
Backstory: (6+ Lines.)
Abilities: (Well, for moves/abilities, each character will have three categories of moves with a total of five attacks in each category. When the character is first made, they start out with one category and three moves. They can start to learn more moves, and eventually new categories as the RP goes on.)
Other: (Little tidbits here, like if they have a fear or always carry something.)
RP Sample: (A short sample of how they would work in the RP.)
