It was another beautiful morning in Toad Town. The city was bustling with Toads, Yoshi's, peaceful Koopa's, Goomba's, ShyGuys and Boo's. Basicly, there were people from all over the Mushroom Kingdom. It was often quite busy within the town. There were many people all around the big pool of water at the Main Square, going about doing their own business. The west entrance was close to the pool, which was swarmed with people moving in and out of the town. Today, however, it seemed as if a big crowd of people were gathered right next to the pool. They were several stands with seats for people to sit at.
There were several posters hanging on the walls in Toad Town. The posters read "Cap Card Tournament! At 9:00 AM today! Come and see the amazing card-battle skills of Card Masters from all over the Mushroom Kingdom, at the Toad Town's main Square!" However, it appeared that several hours had passed already, and it was already 12:00. The seats were filled with people as they stared at the last two competitors who were sitting at a table. "Ha! You're gonna get the beat-down of your life, CHUMP!" The first competitor shrieked, pointing his hand at the cloaked person before him. He held his cards in his other hand, grinning confidently. The shouting competitor appeared to be a Koopa, who was within an egg shell. He was known for his amazing Card-play, he was none other than Jr. Troopa!
Luigi was sitting next to Mario on one of the stands, cheering for Jr. Troopa. "You can do it, Jr. Troopa!" He shouted. One of the Toad guards turned to Luigi and made a gesture with his hand, to signal that he needed to stay quiet. This was to make sure that the card-players would not get distracted and make a mistake. People were certainly allowed to talk quietly too eachothers, but not to make too much noise. Of course, there was still some noise coming from the townsfolk that passed by regardless. Luigi turned to Mario with a smile. "What do you think, bro? Who's going to win?" He asked him quietly. "It's a shame the Princess couldn't come...I hope she'll have fun at the castle at least!"
There were some shifty folk running about the town elsewhere however, and it seemed that they were up to no good. While most of the guards were focused on the tournament, they took advantage of this to spread themselves wherever they saw fit. "Ah man...when are we going to capture the Princess? We've been here for hours!" A goomba muttered in an annoyed tone to a nearby Koopa. "Shh! Don't be so loud! If we mess this up, Bowser's gonna have my shell! And he'll give you a run for your money too!" He whispered back at the Goomba. There were several minions of Bowser all around, some of them blending in with the townsfolk while others hid in small, dark alleyways.
Hey, @Jensoman, mind if I add a couple other skills to my character? I kinda forgot them when I posted the CS.
Jump: Blake can jump pretty well, however, unlike Mario, he has yet to weaponize it, and, for some reason, sees no reason in doing so. His ability to jump, along with this next ability makes it easy for him to get around.
Grapple-Tongue: The ONLY thing he'll ever use his tongue for... climbing up things! He occasionally uses this after a jump to try to climb up tall buildings, or walls. He will NEVER use this in battle.
Those are also accepted :P
I don't really see a reason for him to not use the grapple tongue ability in battle, unless Blake himself just dislikes doing that. I don't really see an issue if he would do that personally.
So he could totally do that if you wanted.
I'm pretty sure that, in terms of his tongue, you're allowed to get pretty creative to an extent.
Name: Blake Shell Age: 20 Gender: Male Appearance: Other than the T-shirt and pants he wears, Blake looks like pretty much every blue yoshi out there. He stands at about 5' 7" tall, and always carries around a bag filled with items that can help him recover in battle... by which, I mean, the bag, itself, which looks like a basic, brown backpack, and looks somewhat worn... as for the healing items, well...
Personality: Blake was raised by koopas, and, as such, believes that he was, at one point, a koopa, himself. He believes that whenever a yoshi eats someone with their tongue, they, too become one of them, and as such does not exactly get along with his own kind. He actually used to have a metal bat to combat the yoshis, mainly by hitting their own eggs back at them, but, that was lost after he tried and failed to defeat Bowser in his own castle. He likes to call that fight a draw, but... he clearly would have lost if the castle didn't actually fall from their battle, knocking out both him, and Bowser, and even then, Bowser woke up a day before Blake did, so it really wasn't a draw, as he likes to think.
He can also be quite determined once he sets his mind on something, for example, that last Bowser fight. He literally ran through the entire castle, and had a swarm of enemies running after him by the time he reached Bowser, but didn't even think for a moment that such a thing might come back to bite him in the tail. Another example is what he's trying to do at this moment. He's trying to climb to the top of Bowser's castle from the outside... using his tongue as a rope. He already fell off of the castle enough times that his supply of healing items has dropped to just one basic bandage, and he looks more like a mummy than a yoshi at this point due to him using the rest of them from falling due to loose bricks that he accidentally pulls out with his tongue.
Blake was always the type to think of himself as a hero, and he would always help out whoever was in need, however, he was never as good as, say, Mario or even Luigi, so he would occasionally mess up and make things worse... not to mention the fact that he'd never help another yoshi, due to how he saw them. He actually made a sort of vow to never use his tongue against a living thing after he saw koopas disappearing from the village, and more yoshis appearing in Toad Town, which he assumed was because of them getting eaten, and changed. He did, however, eventually learn how to use magic, and, after losing his bat, how to fight with his fists, but he will never create a yoshi egg, or use his tongue against anything other than walls, or bricks. What he didn't know was the fact that the koopas who disappeared from the village were actually drafted into Bowser's army, and the yoshis in Toad Town were there because Mario had since given them a way to move between the island and Toad Town, and some of them just preferred to stay there.

Abilities:
Jumping Uppercut: The basic uppercut-looking attack that Blake had to learn to use after he lost his bat (called 'ol' reliable'). He can occasionally (but not always) even hit flying enemies with this attack... though, the enemy has to be close enough to the ground for him to reach them with a jump, anyways, so...
Fire Breath: Somehow, during the fight with Bowser, Blake found out that he can breathe fire, too. That being said, it didn't work too well against Bowser, himself, but it'll do a number on anyone not expecting it. The flame can't reach flying enemies, however, but can hit more than one enemy on the ground. Doing this also hurts his throat, so he'll only ever do it once per battle.
Lightning storm: Blake studied magic for a short while, and ended up learning this spell, though, he still has trouble controlling it... it can hit all enemies, but might also hit him, or his team. Fortunately, Blake, himself is actually immune to lightning-based attacks, so, as long as he's alone, there's no real issue with the spell.
First Aid: Blake usually has a supply of various first-aid items, and some training to go along with it... he just has to be out of battle, or the enemy has to be distracted for him to actually pull it off, and... at the moment, he's almost out of healing items.
Weapons and Equipment: No-stick Gloves: He doesn't like gloves, so he only wears these when he actually needs them. They're specially designed to not stick to anything, including a yoshi's tongue... as such, he only uses them when fighting other yoshis... which hasn't actually happened, yet.
First-aid Bag: A big old brown bag holding all of the basic first aid equipment, similarly to some bags in the Mushroom Kingdom, the bag never seems to weigh Blake down, no matter how many things he puts in there... of course, it can only hold about ten items at a time, so...
Accepted!
You still need Tex's approval and then you're good to go.
As General Spike was rolling through the courtyard, he heard a loud 'Clanc!' noise as Drake's claws struck him. There was no immediate damage to him despite a few dents in his armour. The Krunklet popped out of his armor. "You're making a big mistake, fool!" He roared, aiming his left gauntlet at his foe. Three golden needles launched from his hand at Drake.
Krunk Fortress, Lobby
A shame..
As Jenso was still kicking down doors, he looked over his shoulder and saw Eleanor on the ground. She had been struck by golden needles. 'Darn...' He thought, continueing his door-kicking. He had not noticed the commotion at the courtyard yet.
