So… what are the personalities of the cast in this new AU of yours? I’m just curious.

Well, I already explained Mario’s and SMG4’s personality, but there is a bunch I haven’t explored yet.

Starting with Meggy: since Mario isn’t a dumbass in this au and I still want the chaos trio…

Meggy is in part still herself, childish, competitive and prideful, but she also takes some of Bob’s traits. She’s a former Inkopolis gang member, who planned to betray her boss and take over his gang. Unfortunately, she got found out and had to flee. Meggy is the personification of be gay, do crime. Her first solution to every problem is use a gun and if that doesn’t work, use a bigger gun. Initially, all she desired was to start her own gang and get money and bitches, but instead she found Mario and friendship. Still does crime if it benefits her though. Dumbass gremlin.

(Kinda 50/50 on eventually making Four become dumbass gremlin too because then Mario doesn’t have to be)

Peach retains some of her original game personality, since like Mario she’s only partially an avatar. She’s sweet and bubbly, feminine and graceful… and also determined to get or keep what she wants no matter the cost. Peach is mostly pragmatic though, so she won’t go out of her way to hurt you or take revenge for all the time she becomes a butt monkey like V1 Peach, she can be incredibly sadistic whenever she does decide to choose violence. She’s the kind of girl who cheerfully smiles as she prepares to blow up a building, only briefly stopping when she realizes it’s tea time.

Most of the toads are either like game road or V1 toad depending on which one you come across, but the three that were with Peach when they approached the USB and became partially avatar are different. Alone, they’re pretty normal, maybe having slight differences between them. Together, they voltron together into Ultra Dumbass Toad, who takes after V1 Mario most with their idiocy and tendencies for chaos and destruction.

Luigi did not sign up for this shit, and the chaos of the world has finally driven him to say fuck it, I’m gonna do what I want. Uses his gentle and cowardly persona to manipulate others into doing what he wants, though it has a chance of backfiring on him. Often seen drinking alcohol or noping out of crew shenanigans.

And since Meggy is the violent selfish ass now, I think it’ll be hilarious if Bob is instead a very meek guy who preaches pacifism and love, which clashes with the fact he has swords for hands and comes from a family of violent warmongers. Still a pervert.

Boopkins is a short tempered Piranha who is more bark than bite. His teeth don’t even hurt that much, but he’ll never stop chomping on your arm if he’s angy. Which is always.

I haven’t seen Meta Runner yet, but I think it’d be hilarious if Tari was a parody of an edgy anime protagonist with some sort of sad backstory that everyone ignores. Massive weeb. Engineering pro who secretly loves video games and writing fanfiction. Insert blue hair and pronouns joke.

Saiko is stoic, strong and intimidating… which is because she’s too socially awkward to talk. She doesn’t even realize she’s scaring people, she’s just standing there, existing! Goes with the flow. Also a massive pervert.

I haven’t seen enough of Kaizo (missed his episodes) so feel free to suggest.

Axol is very tired and just wants to be left alone in his cave, spending his time sleeping, being on Tumblr and other social media and occasionally making art or edits. Horror fan. Often dragged out by Melony.

Melony at first starts like canon, being just a melon with a running gag that she’s always present during catastrophes, as if she’s started it. When she becomes human, she’s ecstatic, since now she has legs and hands and feet and everything! Seemingly always sugar high, Melony refuses to waste time, trying everything, preferably with friends, whether it’s doing crime, rock climbing or larping.

Honestly, some of them might be subjected to change tho, since tbh I hadn’t really thought of the rest of the crew that much lol. But I really wanted to radically change their personalities to hammer down that this is a different timeline.

Hm? Oh, SMG3? Well, let’s just say he remembers getting tortured by Smart Mario… and that he is very good at holding a grudge…

A quick and dirty rundown of Indigenous Women in Elfquest(some people were left off the list. Barry Blair doesn't count.) in

Honestly, this whole thing with WaRP killing off that girl is pissing me off so much.

Like, to date:

1. First appearance of an Indigenous woman in Elfquest, a woman shrieking out her grief over her spouse’s death. She appears for one panel, not counting her huddled form next to her husband’s corpse, and is portrayed as tearing her hair and dramatically sobbing.

Lest you think this is genuine grief over her husband being killed violently in front of her eyes, I just want to advise you that the novel tells us she’s playing it up, because without her “man” to provide for them, she and her children will have to rely on their community.

I mean, it’s not like humans are social animals that care for one another and have empathy for loss! No, without histrionics, they will surely die.

2. Nonna. You guys have no idea how much I loathe Nonna’s entire concept, and, by extension, the Hoan G'Tay Sho(as a concept. They play right into that racist old myth about Native Americans thinking the early white raiders were gods, which, btw, never happened. I think it was meant to be a subversion, but really.).

Nonna worships the elves, to the extent that in comparing herself to them, she calls herself an ugly toad. Even in later issues, when confronted with the truth, that elves are just lying liars who lie, she still openly adores them and doesn’t waste too much time getting angry at them. Why would she? They were just scawed, that’s why they created a cult of worship and human sacrifice around themselves.

3. The women in Olbar’s village.

TBH, not actually characters, but they were a diverse group, most of them pretty cool and beautiful.

4. The Bone Woman.

I used this woman as a minor character in my own fic, and actually forgot she’d never been given a name, or characterization beyond “scheming shaman”.

The Bone Woman plays up to primitive priestess and witch doctor tropes. A soothsayer who reads bones(how cool is that?), and manipulates Olbar the Mountain-tall by playing on his superstitions about spirits(not actually superstitious, tho, because he dealt with preservers), and who later manipulates his brother into trying to steal Skywise’s chunk of meteorite(the only thing Skywise cares about more than himself). She could have been a really cool character, if WaRP hadn’t relied so strongly on the racist tropes. She’s EVIL, a WITCH, and never heard from again.

3. Winnowill’s slaves.

They basically exist to be victimized, pitied, and rescued. The ideal Indigenous woman, as far as WaRP is concerned.

4. The Hill Hopper women.

Nunkah’s tribe included several women, mostly skinny and almost but not quite as tall as Shuna, who first exist to cower before her and say that they can’t hunt like the “spirit woman”, then to smirk meanly along with Nunkah when he cheats on Shuna. They do not actually require names or characterization, they don’t explore how their people might have different customs than Shuna’s, or different perceptions of love and marriage, they exist to cower in awe before the white girl, then to play “mean girl”.

5. Hartha. Shukopek’s wife. Exists to be perpetually birthing and pregnant, and to worship and adore Shen Shen.

6. Unnamed Indigenous girl, supposedly part of a resistance movement against the Djunslanders. Is murdered and raped. In that order. While proclaiming her allegiance and admiration to "great shaman Shuna". In broken English.

The fact that they decided to put play out that particular trope in 2017, when awareness of missing and murdered Indigenous women was at its highest, when 80 percent of sexual violence committed against in Indigenous women in the US is committed by white men, who got away with it because tribal authorities were unable to prosecute non-member who committed crimes on native land(I've only been able to find information on that from 2015 and nothing more recent. The law may have changed), is ignorance at its highest.

It's insensitive and offensive, and they should be ashamed of themselves, but then again, the first issue of Elfquest came out FIVE years after Sacheen Littlefeather and Marlon Brando's protest on how Indigenous characters were portrayed in popular media, so I'm pretty sure they just don't care.
