[b]-Gender:[/b] Male

[b]-Appearance:[/b] <[URL=http://www.mariowiki.com/images/8/8e/MLBiS_Bowser.png]Pic 1[/URL]> <[URL=http://www.mariowiki.com/images/c/c1/Bowser_Render_SSB4.png]Pic 2[/URL]> <[URL=http://www.mariowiki.com/images/c/ca/Bowser_Artwork_-_Mario_Party_Island_Tour.png]Pic 3[/URL]>

[b]-Alignment:[/b] Chaotic Neutral / Neutral Evil (depending on what it is his objective.)

[b]-Personality:[/b] Bowser is known to be very headstrong, power-hungry and having a really hot temper. He is the kind of person that, when confronted, will prefer to resolve it with his fists rather than talk about it. However, he can use strategy and trickery whenever the situation calls for it.

He can also be very boastful of himself, claiming to be the best at what he does despite his many failures. This also brings up his big determination, since no matter how many times he is kicked down he will keep trying, whatever it is out of rage or strong will.

Another quality of him is his selfishness. Most of the time, he will only work with others whenever it's beneficial for himself. Still, he is willing to cooperate with Heroes if the situation is too out of hand with a particular enemy (Even if he will still try to get something out of it.) The only ones who he will show genuine care are his son [i]Bowser Jr.[/i], as well as his elite generals / protegees the seven [i]Koopalings[/i], who he acts like a stern father to them. He also looks out for his minions or the rare person that can honestly impress him, but doesn't stop him from being bossy and bad tempered against them.

[b]-Powers:[/b]

[u]Fire Breath:[/u] Bowser's signature move. He can choose to either breathe a long breath of flame or shoot fireball projectiles at his enemies. He is also quiet skilled with the power of fire, allowing him to curve and pull off interesting trajectories with his flames like a rain of fire comets or a spiral breath of blaze.

[u]Strength:[/u] Another of Bowser's trademark qualities is his incredible strength. His powerful punches even able to stop cannon balls and break through brick walls and his arm strength capable of lifting some really heavyweight objects and enemies. This is only increased whenever adrenaline kicks inside his body; Whatever it is by anger or focus, he can his raw power can spike up to high levels in a pinch.

A well known move of his is his [i]Haymaker[/i], which not only is a powerful strike, but also the sheer force of the punch allows the Koopa to dash forward at high speeds.

- [u]Durability:[/u] Something well known about him is that no matter how many times he has been beaten, he has somehow been able to come back. That is because he has a high durability thanks to his thick scales and his durable spikes shell which can protect him from a lot of damage if he tucks inside or blocks with it.

- [u]Whirling Fortress:[/u] Like all Koopas, Bowser can go inside his shell, which not only helps him defend against attacks, but can also be used as an offensive technique. The Whirling Fortress making him spin at high velocity with his shell, dealing multiple hits when connecting, as well as granting him altitude and prolonged air-time if used upwards and faster movements when on the ground.

- [u]Wrecking Fortress:[/u] also known as just the [i]Spike Ball[/i], this is an odd variation of the Whirling Fortress. Somehow, Bowser is capable to contort enough for his external shell to cover him entirely in the shape of a spiked ball. This can be used as a powerful tackle or smash, but also can be used like the previous move for faster mobility as it rolls. Just like the Whirling Fortress to he can ricochet off surfaces for an added kick or trick shot.

- [u]Bowser Bomb:[/u] The Koopa King leaps in the air before using his weight to pull himself down at high velocity before slamming down on his foes. The higher it's done the more powerful the slam will be. It is also useful to break through the ground when needed.

- [u]Flying Slam:[/u] A variation of the Bowser Bomb; He also leaps into the air before slamming down on his opponents, but this time he utilizes either the front or back of his shell on the impact. Slightly weaker than the previous attack but much faster and with similar uses. Bowser can also grab someone and use the Flying Slam to squash them on the fall.

- [u]Vacuum Power:[/u] A planned side-effect of a [i]"Lucky Mushroom"[/i] Bowser was tricked to eat created by the henchman-then-full-time villain known as [i]Fawful[/i] on a previous adventure of the Mario brother, granted him the ability to inhale with the power of a vacuuming twister. Able to grab items and projectiles to ingest, spit back to keep or shoot back at enemies. even after Fawful's downfall at the hands of the Koopa King, this ability still lingers.

- [u]Size Transformation:[/u] An ability that seems unique to the Koopa King, Bowser is able to change his size from just big and bulky to flat-out gigantic. Not much is known on /how/ it works, but similarly to his increase of strength, it seems to be connected to the adrenaline flowing through him. whenever the situation seems critical or Bowser is in dangerous vitality levels, this inner mechanism can activate inside of his to increase his size, then reduce him back to his normal big size when it subdues.

This ability can be jumpstarted way quicker by the use of artifacts of great magic power or by a powerful size-increasing spell of Kamek, however, it's a power that consumes a lot of energy, so it has to be saved for special occasions.

[b]-Abilities:[/b]

- As stated before, Bowser posses incredibly strength and durability as well as a high resistance to Fire-based attacks. However, this is a trade-off to speed, an aspect he doesn't excel at; Usually recurring to vehicles or moves like the Whirling/Wrecking Fortress to move faster across the battleground.

- While he is mostly know as a brute, Bowser does have some level of high strategic-skills, capable of controlling armies and pull off operations and schemes of complicated caliber. He has even been shown able to create weapons and machinery to aid him in his plans.

- He also has some level of knowledge in Dark magic; Having used things like teleportation, transformation and more in the past. However he isn't a Magikoopa's level when it comes to magic channeling so he would need some sort of magic-channeling weapon or artifact first.

[b]-Weapons:[/b]

His main method of attacking tends to be his own punches and claws. As well as other physical attacks like tackling, biting, headbutting or kicking. However he has a few weapons at his disposal.

- [u]Chain Chomp:[/u] A [URL=http://www.mariowiki.com/images/a/a9/ChainChompMP8.png]spherical creature[/URL] of razor sharp teeth and impenetrable skin like iron which usually posses a chain line attached to it. The Chain Chomp not only acts and behaves like a loyal yet furious guard dog, but it also lets itself be fully used by Bowser as a ball-and-chain weapon against enemies. The King Koopa can simply flail it against enemies with its heavy iron-like body, let it charge at them on it's own free will, or even throw it tot he target to either smash against it or suffer from its powerful bite.

- [u]Hammers:[/u] Usually used by his minions the Hammer Bros, Bowser also has a set of small hammers at his disposal to throw. While not as powerful as some of his other attacks, they are fast to deploy and useful in a pinch.

- [u]Minion Summon:[/u] As previously stated, Bowser has multiple members of his army at his disposal, all of them from different races and classes. While he can dispatch many troops at his own will, when it comes to personal outings, he can summon small sets of his minions in squadrons, each offering different abilities. However, after using them they can't assit him much, specially if they were knocked out by the enemy:

-Goomba Squad: Simple but easily dispatchable minions, they sue strength in numbers as they charge and bonk at the enemy.
-Koopa Squad: Use their hard shells to bounce off surfaces and get multiple hits.
-Bomb-Omb Squad: Slow but powerful troops. They can activate themselves and explode in command or be thrown by Bowser. (Don't worry, they are still alive after, just tired down and needing to recharge.)


[b]-Equipment:[/b] (Non-offensive items, if any.)

- [u]Koopa King Shell:[/u] The green spiky shield he is always wearing that lets him tuck inside of it for protection or attacking.

- [u]Koopa Clown Car:[/u] IA helicopter-like vehicle with a large clown face on the front it's Bowser's main mode of transportation. It is also equipped with a series of weapons like cannon balls, saw blades and explosive [URL=http://www.mariowiki.com/Mechakoopa]Mechakoopas[/URL].

- [u]Koopa Comm. Device[/u] A shell-shaped wakie-talkie, like device with a screen. Constructed by some of the Koopalings, this device allows Bowser to communicate with his minions as well as his fleet when available.

[b]-Enlightenment:[/b] He is aware of the existence of other worlds, but he isn't fully enlightened yet.

[b]-History:[/b]

What else is there to know about Bowser? Everybody from the Realm of Reality probably knows about him! A famous villain from videogames of old to the latest iterations, always trying to kidnap Princess Peach and conquer the Mushroom Kingdom and everything beyond. of course, every time he has been stopped by the intrepid Mario Bros. and their friends.

Since infancy, Bowser and his Koopa Army has been up to no good, tormenting the Yoshi race with fruit stealing as well as baby kidnapping to stop the future that may have come. As a full-grown Koopa, his most memorable first plan was the kidnapping of the Mushroom Kingdom's heir, taking her deep withing her castle and trapping the many Toads inside his multiple fortresses. It was then when the brave plumber known as Mario ventured through the land, defeated his minions and finally put s stop to him by making him fall into his own lava pits. That did not stop the evil king for so long, however, and a few months later he directed a massive takeover of all the lands, aiding by his Koopalings and a fleet of airships, but once again Mario and his brother Luigi managed to end his evil plan.

Bowser is anything but not persistent, and he has continued to attempt at taking over the Kingdom countless of times. From taking over Dinosaur Land, to take Peach's Castle and all it's inhabitants hostage alongside the mystical Power Stars for ultimate power; Frame the plumber of a crime to try and conquer the entire universe. and of course, the many many times he has kidnapped Princess Peach, making the red-capped hero to rush to save her.

But that doesn't mean in particular installments he hasn't work alongside Mario to save the world he lives in. He aided him in the fight against the Smithy Gang, a group of evil machines, in order to take back his castle; Helped reach the Beabean Kingdom to stop the witch Cackletta from stealing Peach's voice (Tho his actions ended up making things much more troubling once body possession got involved.) and recently had to deal with the witch's still-living henchman, Fawlful, who took charge as a solo villain and tricked him into using his brand new Vacumm power to suck Mario, Luigi, Peach and a ton of stuff in the Mushroom Kingdom in a long complicated plan to get his hands on a powerful evil being known as the Dark Star, but eventually both him and the star of evil got defeated and destroyed by the King Koopa (Even though he was mostly doing it for his own purposes, unknowing of Mario & Luigi moving things along inside his body.).

As Bowser's Castle was under repairs after the Fawful incident, a mysterious meteor shower would soon lead the villainous King into something else...

[b]-Sample Post:[/b]

"GRR!! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?"


In the depths of the treacherous lava lands, beyond the blazing pits of magma and the spiky canyons of dangerous platforming, lied the castle of Bowser, the Great Koopa King, or rather, the half-finished state of it.

It was a time of peace at the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond, not by choice however, as Bowser's dominion was still in repairs after the hostile take over Fawful had completely left his castle in shambles. Things seemed on the up-and-up but there was still so much work to be done and the spiky-shelled ruler wasn't too happy about that.

"KAMEK!! YOU OLD WIZARDLY CLOD!! GET IN HERE THIS INSTANT!!" He shouted at the top of his fire-breathing lungs as he sat on his huge throne. A pair of Koopa Troopas just cowering behind it as they didn't want to face their boss' wrath.

The gates at the end of the Throne Room opened as another minion step it. A Koopa wearing big glasses, a wizardly blue robe and hat while also carrying a magical scepter. This was Kamek, loyal Magikoopa of Bowser's Kingdom and caretaker of the big turtle since infancy. He approached the throne trying to hide his fear.

"U-um, you called for me, Your Rottenness?" Asked the Magikoopa right before ducking to avoid an incoming fireball that just ended up hitting a nearby stone pillar.

"How can the castle STILL not be ready!? I can't work my awesome villainy under these conditions!!" Bowser roared, "While you minions slack off on repairing my Castle, I'm losing precious time I could be using trying to kidnap Princess Peach or something!"

"Well, you see Your Grouchiness, things have been slowly having to repair and replace everything that got broken after the fiasco with Fawful and the Dark Star.  T-that and the fact we have been doing some of our last few attacks while repairs are still in progress have kind of spread our troops a bit thin..." This time he had to jump out of the way of an incoming gout of flames.

"I didn't call you to hear excuses, I wanna hear results!" Bowser replied after his fire breath, "Besides, those were great plans! Just had one tiny miscalculation of the [color=#ee4a2d]Red[/color] kind..."

"W-why of course, Your Huffiness." Kamek was quick to respond, "Is just there have also been some...um, other situation that have been brought to our attention while we were repairing the Castle. I was just on my way to inform you!"

"Hmm? And what is it exactly? Spit it out!" Bowser crossed his arms and rose one eyebrow as he asked for a new voice to suddenly barge in...

"You gotta check it out, Dad!!"

The gates opened once more as a much smaller Koopa arrived, similar to Bowser, but with smaller spikes and horns. He was riding a floating Clown-faced vehicle towards the throne. This was [URL=http://www.mariowiki.com/images/c/c2/BJ_NSMBW.png]Bowser Jr.[/URL], the heir of the Koopa Kingdom. He also seemed to be carrying something in his hands.

"Not now, Junior" Bowser scoffed, "Don't you see I'm busy shouting?"

"But this is really important, Pops! We found it after the meteor shower last week!" Explained the Koopa kid. Kamek stepped in and added, "Actually, Your Rashness. The young Master Junior is right. That is exactly what I wanted to talk to you about."

"Hmph, fine, but it better be good. Whatcha' got there, son" The King approached the object. It seemed like some kind of strange stone, yet soft. Coated in colors and starts and it almost seemed to be glowing.

"Ah, yes. It is some strange material that fell from the sky that night last week. A sizable amount fell under our territory and it seems to originate from the vastness of space" Kamek explained.

"So, what? We have BEEN to Space, remember? And it brought nothing but bad stuff! I had the entire Universe right in my claws, and then that annoying [color=#ee4a2d]Mario[/color] shows up and ruins everything!!"

"Um, yes. But still, this material seems unknown to even those areas of space! I managed to find some ancient tomes that seems to speak of these as [i]"Gummi Blocks"[/i]..."

"Gummi Blocks, huh? And why exactly should I care when my Castle is still in shambles? Just spit it out already, History lessons just bore me to tears.." The Koopa King insisted.

"Of course. You see, Your Impatientness; These Gummi Blocks are so easy to use and apply that we can easily create a whole new kind of air fleet with these! I had the Koopalings collect as much Gummi as they could find and put some of our workforce at work on a brand-new project that you may like!"

"A new kind of air fleet? Why didn't you said it before? That sounds awesome!! you better show me what you got working on right now!"

"You're gonna love it, Dad. it's super cool!!" Said Bowser Jr. happily.

----------------------------


[i]Deep within the Castle...[/i]

A secret hangar lied before him. A multitude of minions going left and right: Goombas, Koopas, Shy Guys and more. But at the center of it, lied the biggest sight; A big spaceship, by the looks of things heavily reinforced and shaped in Bowser's likeness.

"*Ahem* Your Gnarliness...may i present to you the brand-new [b][i]Koopa Cruiser X[/i][/b]" Said Kamek proudly before adding, "Um...Young Master Junior picked the name."

"Gwah ha ha ha!! This is perfect!! A top-of-the-line super spaceship. I can't wait to ride this baby and level the entire Mushroom Kingdom to rubble...wait...crud..."

"Huh? Is something wrong, my lord?"

Bowser crossed his arms and closed his eyes in thought, turning away from the Magikoopa for a moment. "If I do that right now...Mario is gonna find out and try to stop me...and probably gonna trash my cool spaceship...and then get to my Castle, and there goes weeks of repairs...Hmm..."

He turned back to his loyal minion. "Hey, Kamek..."

"Um, Yes Your Rottenness?"

"Did you find anything else in those dusty books? Like some kind of cool ancient dark power or magical trinket I can snag to conquer everything?"

"Hmm, well, I don't know for sure...but still, if something as good as these Gummi Blocks came from beyond the stars, there should be something else out there that could give us an edge. The old tomes do say of the possibility of ancient weapons and artifacts."

"Hmm...then it's settled..."

The wizardly minion tilted his head in confusion. His Majesty seemed way deep in thought. Or at least he was before shouting right before bursting into a sudden guffaw.

"Gwah ha ha ha!! Kamek!! Get Junior and pack your stuff!! Load this baby up with as much minions as it can!" Bowser proclaimed. "We're going on a lil' Evil Road Trip!!"

He pointed his claw at the Magikoopa as he continued. "Put the Koopalings in charge of Castle repair with a share of the army while we're gone. Tell them as soon as everything fix, pick a few airships and follow us to our coordinates!!"

The evil King looked at the sky as he grinned his sharp teeth. "I'm a bit bored of this cruddy Mushroom kingdom a bit. Seem there's not many world-conquering tools around anymore, but there must be plenty of worlds out there just BEGGING for me to conquer and take all their super-powerful valuables."

He slammed his fist against his hand, looking quite pumped as he continued rambling. "I'm gonna do a little training myself and become even stronger. And when I get back, neither [color=#ee4a2d]Mario[/color] nor [color=#090]Green 'Stache[/color] will know what hit him!! Princess Peach, the Mushroom Kingdom...heck, the WORLD SHALL BE ALL MINE!!!"

Soon enough, everyone got on board, the ceiling of the hangar opened as the ship ascended up the land and into the heavens. From the Captain's room as an armored Koopa piloted the ship Bowser gazed through the front window filled with determination. [i]"You puny worlds better be ready! Cause here comes Bowser, baby!!"[/i]

With a powerful rumble of the thrusts, the Koopa Cruiser charged int the cosmos...
