With her respiratory system! Her lungs aren't very large, but they're there, with the oxygen they process keeping that engine of hers in top shape. Air could easily move through a vent behind that facemask.


Works for me. And a robot needing to breath... I'm sure shes going to want to fix that ASAP xD.

Now I'm not sure how much texan accent I can give her so forgive me for that. And I'll prob not do much german accent for Medic later down the line. I WILL change her speech pattern though and combine it all. Thats going to be fuun.

Also, I should take this chance to remind everyone (but especially @DracoLunaris) how Strikers work. Bonding with a spirit to make it a Striker creates a relationship where its spirit is linked to your main character's for sustenance. Strikers have a set amount of effort they can expend, whether attacking, healing, or whatever, before they have to de-manifest. Just being manifested slowly drains this energy, but actingtakes more. In combat they're meant to act like assists in team-based fighting games, popping in for a moment for an attack, support action, or string of attacks before vanishing again to recuperate. If you're not familiar with assists, thinking of them as temporary summons might help. In a noncombat situation they can manifest for longer, but regardless they can't be around all the time. In exchange, they can't take permanent damage, instead simply de-manifesting if hurt too much.


oh shoot, was I supposed to be handling their duration? I guess I'll be paying for that by not having them around for most of this boss battle then. or was that a warning that you'd be poofing them?

There's no numbers to crunch, you should just be having them out for shorter bursts at a time. Do it more than way and you can still use them in the near future.

Quick question: since Blazermate merged with the spirit of the Engineer does that give her any insight into why he and the robot rodeo were fighting with the rabbids?

New Canon, I believe, is that the koopalings are adopted, with Jr. being Bowser's only 'blood' offspring.

Originally, the Koopalings were depicted as Bowser's children[3][4][5][6] and stated to be his offspring.[7][8][9][10][11] However, Shigeru Miyamoto eventually affirmed that Nintendo's "current story is that the Koopalings are not Bowser's children" in 2012, leaving the Koopalings as his underlings and Bowser Jr. as his only child.[12]
Super Mario Wiki


That is completely irrelevant to my joke, however, when you consider:

no other members of species at all except for…


No other members of his species? When he's the King Koopa? You can't even say that he's the only member of some elite breed of Koopa on account of the Koopa Kids all being unique koopas themselves. Everything about that line just feels... Off.

You gotta admit, Bowser is kind of the best video game dad out there. I mean, hes a single dad who freely adopts 7 misguided kids and still raises his own son. Plus Nintendo love using him as much in their ads.

Nope. No form of fusion involves inheriting memories.

Hm, I had expected Bowser to call the boss to be an impostor or something rather than getting reflective.

so, now that I've levelled up, I get to pick a new power? I'm not sure what kind of power level it should be at.

Right now my working idea is that he can use a special ability called Phalanx to give an overshield to everyone in the same battle as him, giving them more durability. I'm not sure by how much. In the game, Phalanx doubles teammates health across the entire map for like thirty seconds. So, if you time it right, you can save a teammate by giving them an extra 100 health or something. But timing isn't really possible here, lol.

So I'm thinking it's an ability that gives everyone like, a shield worth 50% of their health for the rest of their battle? Or maybe it allows them to take like, a big hit for free? Or I can only target specific person has more health? I'm not really sure. But the base idea is that somehow, I would like to give my teammates some extra protection against damage.

I think i read to much into:

The heroes, however strong, could not find it in themselves to step forward, or to raise a weapon


and tried to avoid breaking that aura of dread to hard. Also I wandered of into crack theory territory before also just rejecting said theory before i even finished the post but wanted to get it out for people who where waiting.

defiantly not my best work but I guess I'll leave it as it stands to avoid disruption. maybe he's gone soft hanging around with heros for a whole 20 minuets lol.

You do get a new Power, or a new Strength. Trouble is, I wouldn't use numerical values because there aren't any values to begin with. In this case, Phalanx could be adapted to something that makes more sense for the character. Maybe this: when in defensive formation with the Centurion, allies gain an overshield that prevents injury until it itself is depleted by incoming damage, the shield able to take a couple middling blows or a single solid one. Since it would be a flat amount and not scale with the target's vitality, it would be best on squishier allies.

Apologies for double post, only did it because mention tags don't work in edits.

@Lmpkio just making sure that you wanted Mario as your next character, right? That's part of why I just went ahead and friend-hearted him.

Welp, he's finally here folks!

Man that post took a long while. I will be making a profile for Mario soon. His first power that he'll start off with will be Fireballs.

Btw, Lug, can you remind me again how XP distribution revolves around collabs? Im guessing anyone involved gets the same amount of EXP depending on how long the post is?

Geez that's a lot of text! And that first part just over the cutoff, too. I guess the breakdown would be 3 for Bowser and Mario from the collab, 1 extra for Mario for the followup, and 3 more for Geno because of the prelude.

The two of you might consider a less-is-more approach starting sometime soon, going for quality (things like using the active voice, no typos, and fixing grammatical mistakes) over quantity. Conciseness is a valuable trait.
