[b]Age:[/b] 25
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Appearance:[/b] Mario is a 5’9” 175 lbs Italian-inspired man with dark brown hair and blue eyes. One of his eye-catching allures is his masculinity. He’s muscular and hairy in all the right places. Interesting enough is his prized moustache that he refuses to ever shave. He wears dark-blue suspenders that are smudged in grease and sometimes mold from working the pipes or the plumbing when he’s making “house calls.” He has been known to wear other casual clothes besides his trademark uniform with a fondness for the colors red and blue. Mario's demeanor radiates security for he can be quite threatening to those who would dare bring harm to anyone he cares about or himself.

[b]Personality:[/b] Mario is rather optimistic. He has to be when working such a shitty job. He is a master plumber and Mr. Fix-It. He is also a veteran of the tunnels around the Mushroom Kingdom having killed many creatures and undead clogging up the pipes. Mario will try to be a gentleman, but if anyone throws that back in his face, then he can just as easily be an a-hole. He doesn’t mind helping someone in need, in his numerous cases, housewives when the man is gone or damsels in distress.

In the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario is very reputable despite his secret stash of red mushrooms, fire flowers, et al, and his womanizing. He is the go-to-guy for everyone’s problems, and therefore, is a busy man who is rarely found in his office. If he’s not in his office, then he can be found working somewhere about the kingdom.

The plumber is a fearless and tough man. You do not want to pick a fight with this guy. He has come a long way with his physique. Years of being criticized for being plump in the past have drove him to take his health and image more seriously. He still has a big appetite when it comes to good food, but maintaining his heroic figure for the ladies has become his sole motivation to stay in shape. He keeps a photo of himself before he started working out as an object of motivation to stay fit.

When it comes to women, well, hot women; they are his weakness whether they be heroines or villains. He loves his women, and so, he may need to be kept on a choker chain.

[b]Abilities:[/b]

[i]Power Jump[/i]: One iconic ability that Mario is mostly known for is his jumping skill. With Power Jump, he can leap great heights and perform aerial acrobatics to reach places most humans can’t. He can launch himself into the air with enough force to smash through bricks and to stomp down on the heads of susceptible enemies.

[i]Red Mushrooms[/i] - Red Mushrooms give Mario an interesting reaction. He bulks up, growing in size and muscle mass and can easily become a force to fear. However, a side-effect of the Red Mushroom is as soon as he is wounded or injured in any manner that he’ll shrink back down to size. His body suffers a little from the strain, which is why he uses Red Mushrooms only in emergencies.

[i]Fire Flowers[/i] - Another one of Mario’s crop. Gripping the flower in his hand causes it to light on fire, and he is able to lob these bouncing fireballs at enemies. The flower will eventually burn out after 3 uses.

[i]Odd Exposure[/i] – There are certain objects in the world that give Mario a strange reaction and they’re either positive reactions such as super powers or just plain weird such as running around in a tanuki or cat costume or being inflated like a balloon (really bad allergic reaction). Whatever happens, it’s no surprise. He is rather knowledgeable of most of the plants and objects that give him strange reactions and will either use them or avoid them.

[i]Superhuman Strength[/i] - Mario is stronger than the average human. He can wield his Power Hammer with ease and he has shown numerous feats of strength such as restraining a Chain Chomp, tossing the evil Bowser, lifting King Bob-omb, uprooting a fortress and kicking it away, and stunning a Mega Goomba. He has kicked down great walls and knocked opponents into oblivion in Smash Bros.

[i]Melee[/i] - Not exactly known for his combat skills, but Mario has shown that he can do more than lob fireballs and stomp enemies in the arena. He is a fearsome fighter that can hold his own.

[i]Athlete[/i] - Mario has participated in several sport competitions: golf, tennis, racing, baseball, and more. He is quite the all-around athlete.

[i]Extremely Versatile[/i] - From the Mushroom Kingdom to space, Mario has cameoed in several games and seems to fit in without difficulty. He can adapt to any situation and any setting, making him a “jack-of-all-trades.” There isn't a role too big for him to fill. He has even been a doctor for crying out loud!

[b]Weapons and Equipment:[/b]

[i]Power Hammer[/i] - not to be confused with the Super Hammer that grants him invincibility for a brief amount of time, the hammer is Mario’s basic weapon. Whatever he can't destroy with his fists and jumps, he’ll resort to Old Faithful. The hammer is almost as big as he is and just as heavy. Mario wields it with ease and anyone with above human strength could do the same. With the basic hammer, Mario can destroy brittle and natural obstacles.
