[center][hider=Darth Vader] [img]https://i.imgur.com/rDQsLl4.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/fp8Guuv.png[/img] [b]Appearance:[/b] Darth Vader is a cybernetically enhanced human male standing at a height of 6'8" (2.03 meters) tall and weighs in at 120 kg (264.5 lbs) in his armor. His black and dark-grey armor is ominously imposing, from the tip of his helmet to the bottom of his boots, and also wears a flowing cape to strike fear into his enemies. He also sports a control panel on his chest to regulate his breathing, suit temperature, as well as other suit-related augmentations. But behind that suit, Vader's body is pale and badly crippled. His skin has turned almost pale-white from the lack of exposure to the light, severely scarred, and even his arms and legs being robotic parts after being lost to his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. [b]Personality:[/b] Upon transforming into Darth Vader, the once jedi knight Anakin Skywalker became utterly ruthless, showing no apparent mercy to his enemies, occasionally killing his own officers for their failures, and imparting torture to accomplish his goals. Having lost all that he cared about by his own hand, the heartbroken and self-loathing Sith only showed a fierce dedication to the Emperor, whose orders he would execute with steadfast devotion and deadly precision, no matter the task. Considered to be the Empire's first terror weapon and noted to employ antiquated diction, he is tenacious and seemingly unstoppable, and made most Imperial naval officers uncomfortable. Part of his reputation was that he would normally be quiet (and thus his presence made for a good implied threat to others), whereas shows of passivity were not. Indeed, it was well-known that he usually preferred to oversee operations personally, using action to block out any intruding feelings. He was frequently at odds with those who lacked faith in the Force, finding it "disturbing" or even blasphemous. Vader would often make use of pressurized meditation chambers that allowed him to remain without his helm—the neural connection to his armor—, moments during which he felt the perpetual pain that Kenobi had inflicted on his flesh. During such sessions, he would meditate to use this pain to feed his hate, which in turn fed his strength, and he never laughed. Claiming not to feel regret, and yet haunted by his past, and the screams of his wife, he was determined to never talk about his old life, and detested all that reminded him of his past self (whom he deemed to be weak). He dared not remember such a period of his life, which he hated; indeed, through the use of the dark side, he kept his memories as Anakin Skywalker buried, although it took great effort even after twenty years of practice. However, his rapport with the stormtroopers who supported him, and the technique he displayed in wielding his crimson lightsaber, gave him away. Much like before, Vader remains an impatient man, although he tempered his impulses with the faithful obedience he was due to his master, Sidious. [b]Bio:[/b] (Everyone knows his story - for I will instead give a brief backstory on his position after a certain Comic Series) Shortly after the events of Marvels's [u]Star Wars: Darth Vader[/u] comics, Vader finally takes back control of the entire Imperial fleet, including his personal fleet Death Squadron and the Super Star Destroyer the Executor, from Grand General Cassio Tagge, after being punished by Palpatine for his failure in defending the Death Star during the Battle of Yavin. Now back in the Emperor’s good graces, both sith lords continued in their attempt to crush the Rebel Alliance and to secure peace through the galaxy. Only several days after the incident however, while they were attempting to make a hyperspace jump to the planet Fondor to check up on the major Imperial shipyards of that area, a freak anomaly caused the Executor and five other escorting star destroyers to jump into a completely new and unknown location. For several days the fleet tried to figure out where they were in the galaxy and attempted to contact any nearby Imperial Forces, but alas they were unsuccessful. After one week in unknown space, the fleet encountered contact with a faction known as the Union of Despair. Through negotiations and possible threats to blow one another up, the Empire agreed to join forces with the new force. Upon their discovery of a wormhole that can take them back to their home universe, Emperor Palpatine considered helping the new allies as a potential investment. He orders Lord Vader to stay and command the Imperial Regiment here and help the UOD with their objectives. He eventually agreed and now leads the 501st in this new universe to crush the United Universal Council once and for all. [b]Age:[/b] 37 Years [b]Skills:[/b] [list] [*] [b]The Force:[/b] Vader was already incredibly skilled with the force during his time as jedi Anakin Skywalker. Yet after his cybernetic reconstruction, Vader's connection to the Force strengthened considerably, to the point where his master Sidious once complimented his powers as being "unparallelled". Though his injuries had crippled his physical body, Vader believed that the suffering that he had experienced had both perfected his spirit and freed him from the needs of the flesh, allowing him to concentrate solely on his relationship to the Force. He is extremely well versed in telekinesis, being powerful enough to take down starships and throw items at opponents while engaging in lightsaber conflicts, as well in other force abilities such as force push/pull, force barrier, force crush, force jump, force deflect, force speed, and his infamous force choke. [*] [b]Superior Swordsmanship:[/b] Darth Vader has a natural talent when it comes to wielding sword-based weapons, especially when in the possession of his crimson lightsaber. While his cybernetic enhancements and armor has somewhat limited his mobility compared to when he was a jedi, his dueling style became visually more direct than it had been and his power is much stronger. [*] [b]Expert Pilot:[/b] As Skywalker, he was already an incredibly skilled pilot, showing an amazing ability that few were able to surpass. Even after becoming Vader, he remained an exceptionally skilled pilot, as shown when he single-handedly almost destroyed Phoenix Squadron in a lone TIE Advanced x1, easily out-flying their entire fleet and forcing their command to abandon ship, and when he almost obliterated several Alliance squadrons during the Battle of Vrogas Vas. Despite this, he would otherwise be shot down on a regular basis during his combat piloting career. [*] [b]Mechanic:[/b] While rarely used, Vader is certainly capable at repairing technology, mostly due to the fact that he built and created various technology when he was a child.

His bushy eyebrows and mane are fittingly a bright, fiery red-orange and has bright red eyes. He sports two small horns, many spikes on his shell with brown-orange spike-rings, as well as along his tail (minus the spike-rings). He wears several spiked collars around his neck and arms. He has three claws on each of his massive padded feet, four claw-tipped fingers including a thumb on each hand, and his arms are noticeably burly, indicating his vast physical strength. While his face and his shell are green, his plastron and muzzle are beige colored and his tail and limbs are an orange-tinged yellow. [b][color=fff200]Personality:[/color][/b] Bowser is a cruel and selfishly power-hungry king who is absolutely hellbent on taking over the Mushroom Kingdom, while occasionally wanting the entire world or even Universe, and taking their beloved Princess Peach all for himself. Upon discovering the Shattered Universe, his quest for power only strengthened as he plans to conquer that world as well, all while trying to secure his role within the Union of Despair faction he allied himself with. And yet despite his ferocious nature, he can also be seen as simply mischievous, playing with his opponents before going in seriously, and even pathetically childish in some instances, especially when something doesn't go his way. He also shows a fatherly love towards his son Bowser Jr, along with the other Koopalings that he adopted, treating them all as both his own children and minions. [b][color=fff200]Bio:[/color][/b] (Everybody knows Bowser and for who and what he is and does - So here's a brief backstory on how he entered the Shattered Universe) After an unprecedented amount of crushing defeats by the heroic Mario Brothers, King Bowser Koopa decided to take a well deserved break on conquering the Mushroom Kingdom for at least a little while. While on this break, the Koopa King decides to map out various other kingdoms in which he can attempt to conquer, all while making sure his nemesis doesn't get anywhere near his points of interests and secret plans. As his minions scout out the farthest and most obscure regions of the Mushroom World, they would suddenly come across a wormhole that lead to a Universe unlike any they had seen. This world was the Shattered Universe... and once they found out the origins, and after being attacked by trigger happy pirates of said region, they hurried out to Bowser and alerted him of their discovery. Bowser immediately called for his Koopa Army, alongside the Koopalings, as they entered the Shattered dimension. Upon reaching the new realm, they eventually had several skirmishes against what they unknowingly knew as the UUC and despite what seemed to be an unfair fight, Bowser's Koopa army managed to prevail through most of the battles and drive them back from a remote territory far in an outer rim sector. Their actions didn't go unnoticed by other factions however, as they were soon approached by the Union of Despair and were offered a place within their ranks. At first, Bowser refused the offer with haughty disdain but after a careful negotiations ending with an offer that promised power and glory, the great Koopa King eventually agreed to join them. [b][color=fff200]Age:[/color][/b] Unknown [b][color=fff200]Skills:[/color][/b] [list] [*][b]Incredible Strength/Durability:[/b] Bowser is incredibly strong, being able to lift large boulders and even heavier items if enough adrenaline rushes through his veins. He's also incredibly durable, not only in the case against blunt force, but he can also survive being plunged in boiling lava and has even fallen great distances, been blown up, crushed, as well as facing other life-threatening events, and has always been otherwise able to get back on his feet eventually. (But obviously he's not invincible) [*][b]Leadership Moral:[/b] As King of the Koopas, his minions always look up to Bowser as their leader. His very presence establishes undying leadership towards his army as they'll do anything for him, even at times attempting to save their king if he's fallen in battle. [*][b]Breathing Fire:[/b] Bowser's trademark ability is being able to produce continuous flares or flurries of individual fireballs at his opponents from his mouth. [*][b]Armor:[/b] Minus his incredibly hard and durable shell, Bowser has access to a suit of [url=https://cnet4.cbsistatic.com/img/_4MruansdEgAZko2IU4NuSJ7yJo=/2015/06/16/2140c718-c876-4fc7-adea-24b07c7ab60f/bowser1.jpg]armor and a hammer[/url] after partaking in a battle within the Skylanders dimension and took it as a reward. The armor provides him with additional defense and the Hammer provides itself as a weapon. The hammer can be infused with fire to issue fire-based attacks or with darkness to issue dark-based attacks. [*][b]Dark Magic:[/b] Although its very uncommon for him to do so, Bowser is known to conjure up spells of dark magic. However, while he used to transform opponents into blocks and other items, he rather occasionally uses it to teleport from one place to another, usually if he has to escape from battle. It has even been used to reanimate his bare skeleton in one instance after being plunged into lava, transforming him into Dry Bowser. This magic is otherwise more commonly used manipulate his size and strength if need be... [*][b]Giant Bowser (Transformation Phase 1):[/b] Through dark magic, whether supplied by himself or by his loyal servant magikoopa Kamek, Bowser can transform into a giant version of himself, usually standing multiple stories tall. His strength and durability increase in this form and is an absolute monster to fight in battle. This form is only temporary and can naturally go away within half-an-hour or so, depending on how much energy he uses in said form. [*][b]Giga Bowser (Transformation Phase 2):[/b] A second version of his giant ability, if Bowser goes through intense and primal rage while wielding black magic, he is capable of transforming into a more animalistic giant form that is known as Giga Bowser. In this form, he's not only incredibly powerful and durable, but surprisingly fast as well, and is also known to harbor special elemental abilities in some of his attack moves, such as explosive and freezing elements. This form is only temporarily, yet diminishes twice as fast compared to his regular giant form, with only 5 minutes of maximum activity.

Despite this relatively high weight, her body is quite lean and athletically built, although this may be accountable to her muscle to bone density given her superhuman abilities and with the infusion of Chozo DNA. She has blueish-green eyes and bright blonde hair which is usually kept up in a ponytail along having sideswept bangs, with one lock hanging over her nose. Her Zero-Suit is basically a full-body skintight jumpsuit which she wears underneath her regular armor, and while it lacks in protection, it makes up for it by allowing Samus to be much more agile. Coinciding with every regular power suit that she wears, Samus's right arm is "replaced" with her signature arm cannon. [b][color=fff79a]Personality:[/color][/b] Samus Aran is a no-nonsense bounty hunter who is usually described as a melancholic character and as a heroic loner of few words. She is absolutely merciless towards her opponents, using every available function of her suit and environment to get the job done, all while barely making a noise outside of a pained-grunt. She is a battle-hardened warrior who faces the ever-increasing threat of the space pirates, and shows unquenchable vengeance towards their leader Ridley, a space pterodacytl-dragon who murdered her parents when she was very young. Yet outside her tough exterior, she is not a cold and heartless monster. Deep within her interior, she brings kindness and compassion towards her allies, always open to a conservation from others in times of peace. She won't hesitate to push herself up as a shield towards her comrades in times of hardship and will do anything to protect them to the best of her abilities. In fact, there are even rare times that she even grants mercy to those she deems worthy (one example being a certain baby metroid). And while she usually dislikes taking orders from superiors, if the situation calls for it she will ally for the greater sake of the Universe. [b][color=fff79a]Bio:[/color][/b] Orphaned during a Space Pirate raid on her home of K-2L, Samus was adopted by the mysterious Chozo and taken to Zebes where she was infused with their DNA and raised to become a warrior. Once she reached adulthood, Samus joined the Federation Police where she served under the Commanding Officer Adam Malkovich, but she ultimately left to become a Bounty Hunter, though she was nonetheless recruited by the Galactic Federation on many occasions. Armed in her cybernetic Power Suit, Samus has become famous for her accomplishments on missions others thought impossible. Her most renowned achievements are the destruction of the Space Pirate base on Zebes, her role in ending the Galactic Phazon crisis, her extermination of the Metroid species, and her disobedience of orders at the Biologic Space Laboratories research station where she chose to destroy the deadly X Parasites rather than turn them over to the Galactic Federation. Years after her most recent mission (see Metroid: Fusion), Samus was suddenly warped when piloting her gunship to the universe that is the Shattered. She only recognized her situation after encountering an Imperial Star Destroyer that was floating in lone space, which opened fire on her ship. Barely escaping the onslaught, Samus realized that this world was not of her own. Now alone and cut-off from her home world, the bounty hunter attempted to survive in this new environment by traveling across the universe and presenting herself as a bounty hunter for hire. It wasn't until she discovered the United Universal Council where she began to diverge her bounty hunting career momentarily to assist them with missions that threaten the entire universe. It is also worth mentioning that Samus' armor had reverted back to the regular varia suit, instead of the hybrid-fusion armor she wore after getting infected by the X Parasites, in which she had required surgery to removed the infected parts in her body. Not only did the scars seem to perfectly heal, but the Metroid Vaccine that was used to counter the X in her body seemed to have been neutralized completely without a trace. This means that Samus is now much more tolerant of cold temperature and is much more durable even without the power suit. Basically, she has returned to her Pre-Fusion state and yet there is no logical answer as of why and how this happened, other then the unexpected warp having to do with it. [b][color=fff79a]Age:[/color][/b] Unknown; Looks Late-20s/Early-30s [b][color=fff79a]Skills:[/color][/b] [list] [*] [b]Superhuman Abilities:[/b] Samus Aran’s infusion with Chozo DNA, as well as her warrior training since her childhood, has turned her into a superior athlete. Her training began at the age of 3 and continued up until she was 14 years old. As a result of the Chozo’s influence, Samus is capable of running and jumping heights far past normal human ability, as well as surviving falls that would otherwise kill an ordinary human. Samus is also more adaptive to foreign alien environments that normal humans cannot survive in, such as the majority of Zebes and Elysia. She also possesses a lithe figure that allows her to crawl through tunnels and gaps that would normally require usage of the Morph Ball. [*] [b]Top-Tier Marksmanship / Superb Combatant:[/b] Samus also demonstrates good sharpshooting skills. She is an excellent marksman, with incredible aim, and is tremendously deadly in combat. When in melee combat, Samus often uses kicks, punches, and wrestling tactics to weaken her foe for a point-blank shot. [*] [b]Excellent Pilot:[/b] Samus is a significantly good pilot, as she pilots her personal gunship across the cosmos with ease. Combined with her excellent marksmanship and her shots will mostly hit true. However, she is still prone to get shot down and is still capable of calculating errors. [*] [b]Varia Suit:[/b] An upgrade of her regular power suit, the Varia Suit provides Samus with better damage reduction, nullifies damage from Acid, slightly increases speed, and protects the user from extreme heat and sub-zero temperatures. It also supplies Samus with an intense arsenal of beams and missiles for her to utilize and allows her to transform into her morph ball form which can also be utilized to unleash a screw attack or space jump maneuvers. A list of her current arsenal is shown below: [list] [*][b]Power Beam:[/b] Samus' regular beam. It's her basic default weapon and while it does little damage to powerful enemies, it can still easily clear entire rooms filled with weaker foes. [*][b]Charge Beam:[/b] A more potent version of Samus Aran's normal beam, Samus can focus energy into her Arm Cannon and later release it at any time as a charged shot. It is many times more powerful than firing a normal beam. [*][b]Ice Beam:[/b] Samus' can fire a shot of ice that can freeze nearly any opponent that gets in its way. [*][b]Plasma Beam:[/b] One of Samus' most powerful beams that can pierce through multiple foes. It's usually used as a sniping weapon that can take multiple enemies by surprise in a single shot. [*][b]Homing Missiles:[/b] Samus can fire homing missiles that can lock onto a foe and cause significant damage if hit. [*][b]Super Homing Missiles:[/b] A more powerful and faster missile variant that is used to combat against stronger opponents. [*][b]Bomb:[/b] While in morph ball form, Samus can drop bombs that detonate after a few seconds. If Samus deploys a Bomb below her, she'll make a small jump called a Bomb Jump. [*][b]Power Bomb:[/b] One of Samus' most powerful weapons in her arsenal, the power bomb is capable of blowing up within a surprisingly large radius. [*][b]Grapple Beam:[/b] Samus can fire a plasma grappling beam that allows her to latch onto certain surfaces, allowing Samus to swing to and from certain locations whereas her screw attack and space jump cannot. [*][b]Zero Laser:[/b] Samus' most powerful beam weapon, the Zero Laser an enormous beam of energy that deals a high amount of damage while also passing through multiple opponents and is capable of breaking through walls. In order to fire a beam of such magnitude, Samus would need to gather up at least 50% of her available energy reserves to pull it off effectively or her suit has to be enriched with energy in a hyper-like state. The recoil of the beam is so great that it tears off Samus' Power Suit and will take a considerable amount of time for the natural phazon within the armor to reformat the entire suit.
