Prologue: Memory-Go-Round
It has been ten years since the closing of the Void, and the banishment of the Chaos Heart to depths unknown.
The many worlds that connect the Marioverse were in a relative state of peace...
Until now.
A flaming star ripped a hole in the dimensional fabric of spacetime itself, and then the Nightmares, things as old as time itself, crept into people's minds, infecting them with a disease of which you never truly die.
It is called Discord.
And so they fought, Nightmares having a love of turning the inhabitants of a world against each other, and harbouring a fierce rivalry towards their own kind.
War broke out among the worlds, and peace shattered in an instant.
Armies clashed, cold steel against blazing magic, and blood covered the earth.
Of course, there was a flaw in the Nightmares' plan.
There always is.
For the Nightmares and the diseases they carry are a basic embodiment of evil....
...but what is there to infect when you already are?
To their surprise, the villains of this world remain unaffected and unfazed, even those who have turned to the side of 'good'.
And now those that are still living must first travel down to the land of the dead and unlock the cages in the very depths of the Underwhere...
...and fight for their world.
Ironically, the tables have turned. Heroes become villains, and villains become heroes.
They can't just win the battle-they must win the war.
United we stand. Divided we fall....
The Discord Wars
Chapter 1-1: Picking Up The Pieces

Sign Up: (No OCs, unfortunately. You'll have to pick from the villains of the Marioverse.
....which I'm sure you won't have any trouble with.
Also, if you pick a 'dead' villain, you'll have to sit around in your Underwhere cell for a while, I'm afraid. But those who are alive will try to get back to you as soon as possible. As an added bonus, you can also talk to your fellow villains-and would-be rescuers- via dreams, nightmares, telekinesis, mind-screwing, whatever. Any boat in a storm.
And yes, when I say villains, I mean ANY villains. Tatanga, Smithy, the AXEM RANGERS, anybody's up for grabs!
And yes, the villains are only fighting to save the world because they don't want to be left homeless, or their homes have already been totalled. They're not exactly heroic, you're either in it for yourself or for revenge because they BLEW UP YOUR HOUSE and you're sure as hell going to bash up the people/things that did it.)

Rules:
1. No godmodding. Use what powers have been granted to your villain, please, and no more.
2. I have the right to boot you from the RP if you're being spammy, being a godmod, or other annoying things. Ja? Ja.
3. You can't pick the same character as another person. This one is obvious.
4. Be courteous, and obey digibutter.nerr forum rules. 'K?
5. For the love of the Ancients, BE LITERATE. Nobody will understand you if you +yP3 |13|< +|-|15.
Hell, I can't even read what I typed just then. That's how bad it is.
6. HAVE FUN.
7. You can bend the personalities of your characters a little, but for the sake of fans don't make them too idiotic/OOC. PLEASE.

On Villain Choices:
1. Yes, the Count Bleck/Lord Blumiere group are available(including the Count himself), as they were former villains. That should make a few people happy.
THIS INCLUDES MR. L. In this RP, Mr. L is a separate person to Luigi.
2. Dead villains are allowed to be chosen, but you'll have to twiddle your thumbs and talk to the people on either side of you until everybody comes down to unlock your cells.
3. In the case of the WarioWare games, you'll have to go with your judgement on that one. Ashley would probably qualify as a villain, in fact....I mean, come on, she tries to make Orbulon into a potion. You can't call that good.
4. Yes, Vivian counts as a villain, as she was part of the Shadow Sirens. Hey, I'm picking Doopliss, and he turned good at the end of the game.
5. THERE IS NO FIVE. MYSTERIOUS.

Name: Doopliss
Gender: Male
Game: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
RP Sample and starting post: The Creepy Steeple creaked in the wind, crippled and crumpling under the blast wounds of a recent attack. The Steeple was so very old, and it had already been decrepit before the Nightmares came.
Twilight Town was deserted, its inhabitants gone, having fled or been killed.
There were no bodies. The ravens had picked away at the corpses, never wasting a meal (even though said meal tasted strangely of cotton and various fabrics) opportunity when they saw it. They, too, were gone.
The Boos were quiet as mice among their ruined home, as the building where they'd lived for so many years was groaning in agony, or at least something resembling it.
It's said that Boos never leave their first haunt, no matter how rundown it gets. In the case of the small ghosts that inhabited the Creepy Steeple, this was certainly the case.
Doopliss had been staring out the window for days, his eyes blank and sad. When you looked him straight in the face it was like gazing into a mirror and seeing nothing there.
In short, somewhat unnerving.
"I couldn't....do anything...."
That was all he'd said.
Doopliss, contrary to popular belief, had a heart, a conscience, and all the other little things that he required in order to get around in the world.
The near-destruction of his beloved Steeple and the town near it had wrenched at his metaphorical heartstrings, and he didn't respond to anything at all.
Trying to shake him out of his current state would be like kicking a puppy. So they didn't, and instead left him alone.
The Duplighost looked out of the window, and his eyes narrowed to slits.
This time, it's personal.

Can we pick minor enemies like Koopas and Clubbas

[Erirudo]

Yes, but your name has to be the default name(and there can only be one of each enemy at a time). That's all, really. Other than that, you know what to do. =P

Name: Petey piranha
Gender: Uhh... Err..... Umm.... That's a good question.
Game: Super mario sunshine, Super princess peach, etc.
Intro. paragraph.

Petey was chillin' In peach's ga absorbing some sunlight. Even carnivorous plants do photosynthesis. Humans eat meat and plants. Why can't plants eat meat, and sunlight? Either way, Petey piranha was well.... chillin'. A boom sounded, and Petey looked up at the red sky...wait, RED?! The piranha plant stood up, and began to fly to the place where the sky is always red that must be the cause- Twilight town.

In mid flight, he was caught in crossfire over the puni tree, and landed, stuck between afew branches.

Name: King Wart
Gender: Male
Game: Super Mario Brothers 2/Doki Doki Panic
RP Sample and starting post: Wart sat on his makeshift throne, a blank expression on his face. He'd been doing this for 15 years now, the ruins of his castle surrounded him. He thought to himself, his hand of his chin.

If I turn this world into a nightmare will it all disappear as he wakes in a sweat?

Subcon's no longer shined, the land of dreams became more like the land of nightmares. Wart began to close his green eyes. The dream was ending...

[Erirudo]

Doopliss frowned and hopped off his perch at the windowsill. He was about to walk back into the darker parts...
...when something clanked outside, and it certainly wasn't the Steeple.
The Duplighost crept down the stairs and peered through a hole in the wall, only to see a huge mechanical bird, darkness obviously keeping the parts together and powering the monster.
It raised its head, opened its beak and shrieked, a spine-chilling sound that reverberated through the evening skies. Spreading razor-sharp wings, it lumbered awkwardly through the ruins of the town and took to the air. Once it had gained altitude, it flew gracefully, the red sunset glinting off steel.

[Yoshi]

The punies, being, well, puny feared Petey, and wer hiding in their tree. By now, Petey had woken up, and struggled his way out.

He continued to fly to creepy steeple. The poor plant didn't even know the sky was red because of the reflection of all the war's fire, and twilight town was at war just as much, but unlike the punies, he would pretty much be beaten with sticks if he fell in that place.

Name:Birdo
Gender:Female
Game:Super Mario Bros 2/Doki Doki Panic, Mario Party series, Mario Sports Series, Super Mario RPG.
RP Sample and starting post:Birdo sighed. She was in Subcon. Subcon no longer was the land of dreams forged by the experiences of many people, but now, it was just a barren desert wasteland. It was no longer a land of dreams and hope, for those were all but buried in thoughts of bloodshed and hatred. No longer a surreal paradise. The sky was perpetually suffering an electrical storm. Dead, withered sticks and cold, murky goop replaced the vibrant leafy trees and clear moving rivers. The land was now waste.
Birdo was the only person who had stayed there, for the rest either escaped, or died, and she wasn't sure if the rest of Wart's subjects or Lord Wart himself made it through. Not even vultures could live on the dead corpses that littered parts of the decaying jungles and cities, so bacteria and roaches were left to rule. Birdo looked at a skeleton of another being who was vanquished, clutching a Shyguy mask with it's bony hands. She couldn't save a soul other than her own from the chaos.

Birdo then picked up the mask, and wiped the gritty dust off of it.

"This nightmare will end. I will make Lord Wart proud, if he is dead, or not."

Name: Fawful.
Gender: Male.
Game: Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga; Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time.
RP Sample and starting post:

Fawful had fury.
Hey, even if you weren't as easily-irritated as the young Bean was, you'd be miffed if your previously-secret hideout had been pretty much compromised, too.
Fawful had chosen the Mushroom Kingdom pipeways for his secret stowaway because, face it- who expected a 10-year-old fugitive from the kingdom next door to hide underneath their sweet sovereign's sewer lines? It wasn't like the fink-rat guards above, or even those hated brothers of red and green, would come looking for him.
At least, that's what he'd thought.
It seemed that some sort of fighting had broken out recently, and now, the Mushroom Kingdom soldiers were navigating the sewers to get around and fight. It was all the Beanish could do to stay in the slimy shadows and not get caught.
He was absolutely perplexed. What had turned those soft-hearted Mushroomers to fighting like this...?
And yes, in case you ask, Fawful had NO idea about what was really going on. He lived underground, for Misstar's sakes. And he only fraternized with other people, other villains, through his bean-and-badge-black market; what was he to gather from the ones who had been unaffected by the Nightmares, anyway?

[Erirudo]

((The Nightmares have now taken on tangible forms.....which means they'll be able to hunt your characters down. Not good. D:
The four basic Nightmares can be seen here.)) ))
In the pipe system underneath the Mushroom Kingdom, something shifted.
Darkness rose and took on an insectoid form, all glinting metal and shadows, which scuttled down the pipes, looking for a new body to infect.
It found one, and followed the scent. Pointed legs scratched and banged against the pipes, creating a din that could be heard even above the pipeways.
It easily penetrated Fawful's shop...
--------------
Subcon was a deserted wasteland, and in the middle of it a small pink dot wandered aimlessly.
The clanking of metal from far off echoed across the former land of dreams. Shadows formed and twisted into reptilian shapes, again pieces of
steel joined together by darkness.
The Nightmare lizard slithered across the hot sand, flicking a black tongue out to taste the air.
It found a suitable 'victim', and set out to find its next meal.
---------------
The huge metal birds, flashing in red sunlight, circled the Steeple. One of them flew off towards the Boggly Woods, having found another target.
Doopliss growled as they shrieked at him. The sound was tortuous, like the sound of claws on a chalkboard.
The Duplighost frowned, meditating on what shape to choose to fight the things.
The sound of stone grinding attracted his attention. A Boo flew over to Doopliss anxiously.
The Duplighost noted, with worry, that the Boo had three slash marks across its side. What could harm a ghost like that?
The Nightmares shrieked again and Doopliss seized a brick from the wreckage.
He aimed carefully and threw. There was a satisfactory thud.
"Shoo, you stupid birds!"

[Yoshi]

Mid-flight, Petey spat goop at the bird in attempt to stop it. He then went down over for a rest on the small patch of ice between the woods and far far outpost.

[Erirudo]

The Nightmare squawked in irritation as the goop hit it, and fired a shadowy discharge in order to rid itself of the mess.
It swooped down for another attack.
((The Nightmares that come after your characters will be yours to control...because I can't control everything at once. TOO HARD >< ))

[Tails Doll]

Birdo screamed.

"Another one of those dreaded steel-lizards!"

Birdo immediately entered combat. She knew the creature was very difficult to take down, even with her brute power. With a thrust forwards of her snout, a large, white egg flew out at high speeds. It would stun the monster with a powerful inpact, and give her time to run.
She made a fast jog to safety in the open desert, jumping over pools of muck and fallen trees. The lizards were very fast enemies, and could hide themselves in the sands and mud. She had to be careful...The only escape was from a warp-pipe at this point, sadly.

[MsDevin92]

Fawful could hear the scratching noise of the monster's legs echoing in the pipes. He stopped on the spot and turned in a slow circle, his Headgear CHARGIN' ITS' LAYZAHS whirring in readiness for battle.

"Who is being there?"
