“It is not to the stars that hold our destiny, but to ourselves.” – Merlow Avenir, Mushroom Kingdom Shaman. IC: the Princess in another Castle 別の城に王女 ✘Backstory In an age long forgotten, this land became like no other. Our land prospered, the land, sea, clouds even; it became land above all else. For thousands of years it has been this way, protected by an unseen force, while land around it lay in waste and misery. The survivors of our land's rough beginnings put the broken shards of civilization together... they flourished, for a time, till disaster befell them. The land fell victim to cursed clouds, above the monstrous waves of a storm that rages eternally. The mighty winds forced our ancestors off their feet, the waves reached like watery hands to wash them away, the damned storm ate the land away little by little. Life was brought on the brink of extinction; were it not for the archaic wisdom of our people, none of us would be here now. They raised a barrier that shrouds every corner of the land, protecting it from the evil that is out there, and it is still holding up, after thousands of years. It is powered by the four Shine Nexuses, ancient edifices that were established long before our ancestors elected to use them. The barrier gave rest to the people, allowing them to live freely and grow old again, but our kind was still scarce after the recent catastrophe. As nomadic tribes, they fought for survival, when the land was abundant for everyone. Then, as they grew in numbers and settled down, they started fighting each other, seeking dominion. Their cultures were blooming, nations were born, but the war never changed. It was the same, constant and bloody, only more treacherous and violent. The firstly-formed nations united to become two Kingdoms, the most memorable nations of our history: Toadstool and Goomba. The history books of our time are essentially lengthy lists of all their violent wars, conflicts, disputes and vendettas. Toadstool and Goomba may not be kingdoms anymore, but history repeats itself before our eyes - and not even the Toadstool Tribe can stop it now which leaves the stars to look elsewhere. Ah, this land of ours... it has crossed many perils, but the peace has yet to be restored fully. For the tale of destiny never ends. It only starts anew. Near five hundred years ago, a sudden and relentless invasion overwhelmed both Empires; a great force had struck them fast and hard. They are known as the Koopa, or the Koopa Troop. No city's walls could withstand them - they buried everything in fire and ash, walked over it, butchered what living remained underneath and pillaged the cities. They were no threat earlier, as they were scattered and divided into tribes fighting each other; until they became united by one of the greatest conquerors in history: Bowser, a Koopa, who forced Toadstool and Goomba to yield under his fiery wrath. He killed the former monarchs and their heirs and proclaimed himself the First Emperor in the Realm of Mushroom, a ruler who ruled all that there is for the eye to see. His cruel, tyrannical rule and ruthless, zero-tolerance politics brought the people on their knees. The first singular monarch of the island would see it bled dry. Two men had appeared in the land. Foreign men with ideals strange and unheard of at the time, propositions suggestive and dangerous. They spoke of liberty, love and peace, and found many supporters in folk, who sought the same, a land free of cruelty and oppression. Be it Toadstool or Goomba, people from both kingdoms joined the increasingly growing group of individuals who shared a common cause: to overthrow Emperor Bowser and restore the peace. They were called the Super Tribe, valiant defenders of the people who were well received by everyone who was not Koopa. The Koopa ignored them as a petty people's movement at first, but that gave them more ground to grow significantly in a short time, and soon, the whole Realm had risen against its Emperor to fight beside or within the Super Tribe. As they claimed victories by freeing towns and cities, they proved to be far more capable and dangerous adversaries than the Emperor had anticipated. In sight of an important battle that would determine the fate of the Realm, Emperor Bowser made preparations for his defense, but death came to him before the SuperTribe. The Koopa, leaderless, were crushed and they were left scattered and divided. The leaders of the Super Tribe at the time, Mario and Luigi, had hid their identities to gain an underestimated edge against Emperor Bowser. Escapees from Emperor Bowser's ruthless monarchy massacre, they brought with them Princess Peach and Daisy. They issued a command that was against the Super Tribe's values of liberty, but necessary for the certainty of a prolonged time of peace: to establish another Emperor of their own choosing. They chose to pass down the crown to an emperor they raised: Baffi. They crowned him Ruler of All Mushroom Nations and the First Man of Union and Alliance, an Emperor whose duty would be to solve and cease all conflicts, should they appear, a ruler who would use the full might of the Super Tribe in his efforts to preserve the peace. A constitution was created and a council was established to advise the ruler of Mushroom, but also to keep him in check. A Realm that was bleeding from a thousand wars readily accepted the merciful prospect of peace and union, and thus, there has only been one true nation in all the land, up to this day. ✘Premise Date: 1st October, 279 AB [After Bowser]. The peace in the United Empire of Mushroom has been restored with the coming of the Super Tribe, but not without trouble. Many conflicts have risen in the near three hundred years since the peacekeepers have been in the land, though not at the large scale of the old wars between Toadstool and Goomba. The last conflict appeared nine years ago: the rebellion by three of the give governors of the Koopa Kingdom. Three tribes, Koopa, Goomba, and Boo, joined forces to overthrow the Head of the Koopa High Command, Bombfort, also Governor of the Bob-omb tribe. The tribe's intent was to reach Koopa Castle and siege it, but the joined effort of the Bob-omb, Shy Guy, and the Mushroom Kingdom forced them in a battle, where they yielded, abandoning their rebellion. In the present, Koopa have risen again in rebellion, and shreds of different tribes with them as well. Their renewed fury has allowed them to outmaneuver the defenders of peace in the Koopa Kingdom, and now they are laying siege on the Koopa capitol Castle Keep. The Mushroom Kingdom survivors from the battle have all retreated past the border back to Mushroom Kingdom and Koopa Kingdom was lost to the hostile forces. You are one of the few chosen by the Star Spirits; chosen for your pure heart and bravery.

For those planning on joining expect it to be flamboyant, action packed and colourful with a darker undertone that should grow more and more prominent as we progress. Hope I’ve managed to intrigue a few roleplayers with my idea. If not then thanks for the read and I’d love it if you could let me know what turned you off from it so I can tweak and improve the concept.

サバイバル “This….is what you call a beginning.” http://66.90.118.45/ost/kingdom-hearts-ii-ost/ngvwkboukn/305-sinister-sundown.mp3 The newly spawned shadows teleported before my eyes and I instinctively swung the scythe. My attack missed by inches, and one of the beings rammed me in the stomach with it’s sledge-like head, my ribcage screaming in protest as I staggered. My hands lifted the scythe over my head and brought it down with force, obliterating the shadow before me. My eyes locked onto my next target and I swung. As if knowing I was ready for it, the being disappeared, though this time, I could see the trail of darkness its body had left. It had flattened itself onto the ground beneath me. The darkness slithered its way over to me, like a paper thin snake, and I focused on the shadow. With three solid swings, I dispatched of it as soon as it lifted itself off the ground, quickly shifting over to a third shadow and slicing through its bulbous head as i watched the creature burst. The sweat forming upon my brow, this fight was beginning to take its toll on me. Two more shadows erupted forth and i fended them off with the length of the scythe. Using my strength i pushed them away and as they staggered there and sliced through them with successive blows. Victory swelling in my chest for merely a moment before it was replaced with terror. There were more.

目覚め "Where are you now, I ask myself. Are we walking the same path, Or are we living different lives?" http://dc145.4shared.com/img/765768568/2d68eb51/dlink__2Fdownload_2Fj7z9ye16_3Ftsid_3D20130822-35638-dc87db60/preview.mp3 Falling…. I felt like I was falling, with no end in sight. My eyelids were as heavy as lead, but I forced them open, slowly. Everything was blurry for a few seconds. When things cleared, I realized I really was falling. Just upside down. Shadow waters… I was receding like a bullet through what felt like the ocean, slow, inconspicuous. There was no blue in the water I fell through, just shadows and the occasional wisp of light. It didn’t even cross my mind that when I hit the bottom-if there even was a bottom-my head would receive severe trauma. ‘Didn’t even cross my wandering mind. I just lay there, letting gravity or whatever it was pull me downward. It was pleasant, almost, as if I felt entirely safe for the first time in my life. And then suddenly, the pleasantries ended. I was gently righted by some invisible force, turned so that my feet hit ground. I looked around, warily. Side to side at first, and when I saw nothing but more shadow water, I looked down. I was standing on nothing. The watery darkness was all around. Even below my feet. I took a hesitant step forward, and felt my heart jump in surprise as thousands of white birds erupted from the floor below me. The umber shadows melted away as each bird took some of the dark covering with it as it flew. Light seeped from under my feet, and I looked down as the mosaic of birds and feathers and light came together as a blinding whole. I was no longer residing in darkness. I was standing on a stained-glass image of a towering tree with a luscious head of leaves and long, strong branches protruding from either side of the tree each with a name carved into them. My family's names. The picture of the tree took up most of the oval, stained-glass plateau I stood on. I watched as the birds vanished into the walls of the deep water, I watched as they lost their purity against the endless sucking void that served as a boundary in this still place. Whatever thoughts I might have had about the mysterious birds was put to an end as the floor below me glowed. I got a better look at the picture depicted on it this time, and saw that under the tree's caring shade were two people, one boy and one girl, laying there holding hands. Just above their peaceful sleeping faces was a heart carved into the trunk of the tree with two names centered in it. My name, and hers. WE WERE EXPECTING YOU- Surrounding the platform I was on, long winding roads sprouted from the darkness, stained glass platforms striving to touch the tower I was standing on, but not quite managing the feat. They instead hovered around its frame, as if uncertainty had taken them over. Blocking the way were small pedestals, each a searing, tranquil blue. THE COLOR OF YOUR EYES- It was then I heard the voice. It echoed across to me, coming from a nowhere that was only present when one was alone. The voice was wordless, but I knew what it said. It emitted the sounds of nothing, but then again, so did I. In soundless harmony, we understood each other. "Your heart chooses the path..." I walked forward, towards the pedestals. It was then I liften my hand from my side. My hands glowed, and the brightness shaped itself into a long staff with a blade-like protrusion. My fingers closed around a grip, and the light receded to reveal a weapon. First glance told me that it was a scythe, in total the weapon was as tall as long as I was tall, and hung in my hands limply. Without even a second thought I took a few steps over to another pedestal, this time feeling no tingling but instead watched on as the robe item before me shattered into light fragments and vanished. The roads began to vanish, receding back to the darkness that surrounded the platform. The darkness in this place didn´t seem so scary, almost comforting. A single road lay before me, naturally I walked down this path - into the darkness. It seemed like hours of walking until I finally spotted another glass platform, this one portraying a shattered heart into three distinct pieces. There, on each of the three shattered pieces stood a figure. It was the same figure, in three different places - it was my figure. They spoke to me, only no sound came out. Only the movement of their lips told me they were saying something, yet I was able to understand them perfectly. "What are you most afraid of? What do you want most out of life? What is most important to you?" I never knew just how menacing my own face could be until my own icy blue eyes pierced through me like a knife, these questions were something he never thought about extensively, yet the answers came to me almost immediately. I'm afraid of losing my loved ones. I want happiness above all else. I value the love I share with those closest to me above all else. The figures seemed satisfied and scampered off, fading into the darkness. Save for one. He hadn't turned to me at all since I arrived on this platform, but I already knew I was only going to be met with my own face. I was right. The blue eyes I was so familiar with stared at me with a cold stare that spoke volumes - had I really been through that much? Just then the figure before me smiled, I never knew if I would ever be able to do that again. The phantom version of myself sauntered off just like the first two, slowly vanishing into the darkness. Only this one left a path in its wake, guarded by a looming door. It was one of those fancy wooden doors with embelished handles that seemed like it weighed tons. ”Wielder….of light. Do you seek the door?” I had no idea what this voice was talking about. I was about to say that, when something in the back of my head silenced me and spoke for me to the mysterious voiceless person. IT knew what the door to the light was. IT knew what to say. The other voice seemed to almost nod in acceptance. ”…good. Now step forward, Seeker, into the light.” As soon as the voice said this, a cone of white brilliance piereced through the dark water and fell on the platform. It illuminated the world around me and vanished, leaving me in a new location. A cavern with several stained glass platforms in the distance, the one I stood on depicted myself facing a darkned mirror version of myself. And suddenly, breaking through the calm with no warning….something came. There was suddenly a malicious presence all around me. Creatures rose up from the floor, a dark black with shining yellow eyes like bulbs in the darkness. They had slender necks that held up their round heads. They walked on two feet, backs as straight as their arms pressed to their sides. They didn’t walk normally, they pushed themselves forward and slid on their plank-like feet. With automatic, riggid movements, they circled in around me, bulbous eyes greedy. Shadow-like creatures that showed no emotion, even in their actions. ”Fight….” The voice demanded. I looked around, over my shoulder, and found that there were a total of five shadow beings. The first to reach me was struck down as I swung the scythe i held over my shoulder and brought it down on the creature’s head. The thing was stunned for a few seconds, and I took the opportunity to bring the blade up underneath it, knocking it into the air. The other beings shrank back as I jumped in the air and smacked the single one back down to the floor. It wavered for a moment, and then melted into a dark puddle, evaporating in a string of white stars as quickly as it had melted. I panted. This fighting business was difficult. I hadn’t raised a hand to harm someone since I was arrested. Instinct told me to bash the thing over the head as fast as I could so that it couldn’t strike back against me. The four remaining shadow things ganged up on me. One slid stealthily around behind me while the other openly charged. I held up the scythe with both hands and stopped the head-butting assault with the blade, pushing backwards so that the creature lost its balance. I saw my opening and struck it over the head until it melted and evaporated. I had forgotten about the other creature until it teleported before my eyes in a flash. I blinked and swung, my heart beating rapidly. My attack landed and melted one of the creatures away. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw the two remaining things begin to charge up for a head butt, but I told myself I’d be ready. My hands gripped the Scythe tightly, and I spread my legs apart, waiting until the beings got close enough to hit. In a single wide swing, the blade sliced straight through both creature's chests, the pieces of the creatures melted away and evaporated in a string of stars. I had won. That's when puddles of dark violet liquid materialized, and from them even more shadow creatures crawled out... "Do not be afraid Seeker..."

Alright I edited my character's homeworld and origin story and little things here and there, no overhaul or anything but just enough to hopefully get accepted. Let me know! (:

That helps A LOT, I'll get to editing as soon as I get to a computer. (Also on my mobile).

It's no problem, but it would help if you could tell me what im NOT able to do with it

Oh well I apologize, I didnt catch that part in the first post. I assume it wouldn't be ok if I just changed the name of the World?

Could you maybe link me to the origin story of this rp because didn't read anything about a starting world. I probably just missed it or something

Yo~ So I've actually already been keeping up with this roleplay in case I was actually accepted, this looks like a really interesting project going on here and I would love to be a part of it. There didn't seem to be a rule about no more signups, so I went ahead and made this (:
