Host

Host is a Cosmic Entity in control of a game he has dubbed “Superstars.” Superstars is hosted in a pocket-dimension of sorts, which Host is in full control of. The games are a set of brutal and morbid trials, which leads to the contestants going through an array of both physical and mental torture. He was made by FuriousAntz on September 18th, 2022.

Appearance
Host takes on the form of a toad, with a sickly purple skin and a blue-ish purple cap, with white stars as opposed to the dots on a normal toad. He sports a vest with a cosmic palette, a big black bowtie, two dark gray gloves and black shoes, and he holds golden microphone. His face is drastically different from that of a normal toad, with a massive toothy grin with gray gums that stretches from each side of his face, and two small white eyes, lacking any pupils whatsoever. Although not visible at all times, if he opens his mouth wide enough, his mouth seems to have a wormhole inside.

His pre-toad form is a black worm- or fetuslike creature, with black veins going around him. He seems to have cuts on him, which glow a mix between blue, pink and white. His head is in the shape of a star, and he dorns the same small white eyes he does in his main form. His smile has been replaced with a maw, with several rows of crooked teeth. His maw extends all the way down his neck, but is for the most part covered up by his head, giving off the appearance of a small triangle-like mouth instead. His forehead has an etched in pattern of a star on it.

Biography
One night in the Mushroom Kingdom, an asteroid struck the earth and created a massive crater. Naturally, the Toads and other members of the kingdom came to see what was going on, only to discover an asteroid that they’ve never seen the likes of before or ever since. It had an unnatural, almost alien, tint of purple to it, what appeared to be black veins pulsating around it, and several etched in symbols of stars, which glowed a bright white. They only managed to take a photograph of it, as after they went to get people and gear to research it properly, all that remained was a strange puddle of purple-ish black goop with pulsating lights, as if the asteroid had melted into the ground.

The next day a strange toad-like figure was spotted around Toad Town, with an unnaturally big grin. Its skin was pale, and its eyes were white. It didn’t look quite like the modern-day Host, but it wasn’t very toad-like either. Despite its unnerving appearance, it was very kind and friendly to the townsfolk. Once it felt that they were comfortable enough, it started to talk about a “game” that he was hosting, and that he had everything he needed for it, except for one crucial part: Participants. Of course, several townsfolk volunteered, and some even suggested other people, such as Mario, Luigi, Peach, etc. The Toad thanked everyone and left. After the town fell quiet and everyone was asleep, The Toad returned and started to pick its participants. Once it had made its choice, it transported its participants, Mario, Yoshi, Wario and Peach, to its own little pocket dimension. Once everyone had awoken, Host fully revealed himself, putting away his facade to reveal his seemingly true form. Regardless, he welcomed them with kindness and hospitality, before giving them a quick rundown of the games and then throwing them straight into it. They were subjected to endless torment and mutilation, all for the entertainment of an invisible audience, whose laughter filled the void. The games eventually came to an end, and the places were revealed.

Mario in First, Wario in Second, Peach in Third and Yoshi in Fourth. Mario and Wario were sent back to their world and healed of all their wounds, whilst Peach and Yoshi weren’t quite so Lucky. Host kept them around and tortured them for the audience, as part of what he called “an Encore.” He mutilated their bodies, slowly but firmly cutting up their flesh, twisting their limbs, making sure they were awake and felt every single thing, filling the halls with screams and the deafening, applauding laughter of the audience. Yoshi was treated the absolute worst, being almost completely unrecognizable. Once he was done, he bowed to the audience, as the curtains closed and the room went dark.

From here on out, Host would continue capturing contestants for his games, slowly but surely establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Abilities

 * Immortality, Host cannot be killed, seeing as he’s a cosmic entity. However, he can also “convert” his immortality over to others. This effectively makes them immortal, but they can still feel pain. He typically uses this ability on his victims, making sure they’re awake throughout the entire torture session without them passing out or dying.
 * Levitation, Host can levitate, as simple as that.
 * Pocket Dimension, Host has a pocket dimension which he is in full control of. He can go in and out of it as he pleases, and he can take anyone and anything inside it.

Weaknesses

 * His Temper, he is very easily ticked off, and if you piss him off enough you get booted out of his game.
 * His Naivety, he is pretty gullible.

Trivia

 * If Host isn't busy "entertaining the audience", he's surprisingly chill and friendly to others.
 * He's a vegetarian, his favorite dish is Tartiflette.
 * One of his most common methods of torture is the Blood Eagle method used by the vikings during the viking ages.
 * Host has a "pet" Shy Guy, named crud.
 * Crud was innitially a contestant who wasn't deemed fit for neither the games or torture, as he isn't phased at all by pain
 * Host has tried to send Crud back to the Overworld, but for some reason he always comes back.
 * He is extremely strict about the rules of Superstar, and you would piss him off if you even slightly strayed away from the rules.
 * He is very, very formal.
 * Although he does torture people, he wouldn't do it unless he's convinced theres an audience to entertain.
 * Due to his exposed brain in his skull, if you were to punch the top of his head, he would get a splitting headache.
