Story:
Another tournament finished; another crisis resolved. The Super Smash Brothers prepared to return to their home realms and, at Princess Peach's eager suggestion, they agreed to reunite at the Super Smash Brothers Stadium in one year's time. Some of the Smashers, disturbed by how close to doom they came during the events of Subspace Emissary and World of Light, thought it would be wise to keep in contact. Others were simply happy at the idea of reuniting with friends new and old. After good-byes (and one or two vows of vengeance) were made, the fighters of the Super Smash Brothers returned to their home worlds.
A year has passed, and the Smash Bros. start making their way back to the Smash Realm only to find that it has changed for the worse. It feels as though the Realm is slowly breaking apart. The land is wracked with spontaneous natural (and unnatural!) disasters, and monsters seem to roam unchecked. Even more shocking, the Hands are nowhere to be seen and the Super Smash Brothers have been made into outlaws with a fine reward promised for proof of a Smasher's capture or demise!
Unbeknownst to the Super Smash Brothers, a mysterious sorcerer named Lunaris has stolen the powers of Master Hand and Crazy Hand and used them to take over the World of Trophies. But his dominion over Creation and Destruction is not complete! In order to gain full mastery over the Hands, Lunaris seeks the Pillars of Creation and the Pillars of Destruction: ten crystal shards that contain portions of the Hands' powers. The Pillars have been hidden, scattered throughout the realm. Should the sorcerer obtain all ten Pillars, his control over the once happy-go-lucky world of Nintendo will be absolute!
The Pillars of Creation are Life, Hope, Strength, Fortitude, and Imagination. The Pillars of Destruction are Death, Fear, Sorrow, Anger, and Ego. Each crystal shard contains the pure essence of the virtue or emotion associated with it. While the Pillars of Destruction are not evil in themselves, one must be of strong heart and mind to be able to possess them without falling to corruption! The Pillars of Creation have been entrusted to five guardians of Master Hand's choosing, but how Crazy Hand has chosen to hide the Pillars of Destruction remains a mystery.
Rules:
1. This game has a 200 word minimum requirement for posts. If a player is inactive for over two weeks with no notice given, active players are free to skip that player and move the scene along at their discretion.
2. OCs are welcome, but they must fit the setting (Ex. A Pokemon Trainer OC, a Koopa OC, etc.). OCs must not have a strong, personal connection to a Canon Character, such as a long lost relative or an ex-lover. Relationships built during the course of the RP are fine. Pokemon Trainer OCs cannot own legendary Pokemon.
3. Game canon does not have to be strictly adhered to as Super Smash Bros. itself does not completely follow canon to the games each respective character comes from (Ex. Twilight Princess Zelda from SSB: Brawl and SSB4 having a Sheik alter ego). Make sure to communicate such things so that everyone is on the same page.
4. Any 3rd party Game Characters that are not in Super Smash Bros. must meet one of the following criteria:
-The character comes from a Nintendo franchise
-The character comes from a game series with a minimum of 3 Nintendo console exclusive titles. (Ex. Professor Layton)
-The game series the character comes from already has some form of representation in Super Smash Bros. such as a playable character, a Mii Fighter costume, or a trophy/sticker/spirit (Ex. Dante, Doom Slayer)
I will not accept any comic book, cartoon, or anime characters in this RP. The reason for being strict with characters is that I want this RP to remain "Super Smash Brothers" at its core, which means a heavy emphasis on Nintendo representation. This is not a free-for-all multiverse RP.
5. There are some game characters that are generally blank slates with only small hints of a personality (Ex. Link) which leave them more open to interpretation, and some characters can have different personalities between games (Ex. Cloud) or localizations (Ex. Pit). The point is, don't be rude to other players if they're not playing a character exactly how you think they should. That being said, please be reasonable when RPing Canon Characters. Even if you want try a different interpretation of a character, they should still feel like that character. This isn’t a “lolrandom” RP, unless of course “lolrandom” is actually part of the character!
6. New players are only allowed 2 characters. I may grant players permission to pick up more characters if they have shown investment in the game and the ability to handle a larger number of PCs. Canon PCs that are part of the Super Smash Brothers roster must be active in the RP. If you need help figuring out where to place a character, ask and we will help you, otherwise I will remove your claim to that character.
7. The Smash Realm is constantly changing and expanding. Feel free to make up landscapes, landmarks, and towns as you want. The only constant thing is the Stadium. It's always in the same spot.
