Starman

Concept
Starman is TheGoodBoi's explanation to the question everyone circa 1989 was asking: "Who owned a bathtub that led to the mushroom kingdom?"

Backstory
Sometime Around (1988 - 1989), ____________ was simply taking a bath. This is the worst mistake of his life right now. You see, the original plumbers of his apartment complex had found that the underground acre that the complex resided over had strange properties that made their piping transport its contents to an unknown place. They ignored that, and never told anyone. _____________ was about to find out just how big of a mistake that was. It got up to drain the bath, but it became unnaturally hard to keep his footing. The water was draining fast enough to take the floor from under his feet, and he fell into the pipes. As he tumbled down 50 meters of piping, it broke it's femur, 5 ribs, their left index finger bone, and a hamstring. (The Mario brothers do not have this problem as they were built "Mario Tough".)

Some toads in the area found this borderline dead corpse, take it to their homes, and give it a power star they found in the area. The same way our weak, puny, fragile, pathetic, weak, lamentable, weak, breakable bodies can't handle high drops, they can't handle power star energy. The corpse began to contort and become more mario-like, allowing the star energy to enter the vessel without leaving a big mess. (it just as easily could've become luigi, peach, toad, or bowser, but mario's vessel was chosen as it was the strongest, and easiest to turn into, as the plumber species is already very close to the human species, though mushroomians can also absorb star energy with moderate results.)

This horrible sequence of events result in Starman, at first just a confused guy with a new voice in it's head. The power star given to him had some side effects on his previously human body. Firstly, the power stars, and most other power ups for that matter, ARE previously mushroomians in this story, but they're deceased. The willpower and peacefulness of the deceased determine what they become when they die, and in this case, _________________ had absorbed a peacefully sleeping, very strong individual. Abruptly awoken, the energies of the power star ran rampant in Starman's new head, causing it to go insane, Screaming, Shouting, Many, many profanities, and maybe a few knocked out toads later (they're just sleeping, legally.), the spirit calmed down, and Starman was in control of his own body again. But that little voice just won't go away. It wants out. So Starman did what was necessary, it got a witch doctor to come to the mushroom kingdom and exorcise the spirit out of him.

It went horribly wrong. ___________ ended up getting the boot and the psychotic confused spirit ended up getting dibs on Starman's body. But by some miracle of human spite, the body and mind still held great hatred for the Mario brothers. The original Starman was run out of business since Mario Mario and Luigi Mario were simply different (read: better) in skill. The Mario brothers could clean a sink in under 2 minutes with their patented formula! And they didn't smell. As bad. Starman never really got over that, and held a spite so strong, it remained in his very molecular structure. Or something like that. I didn't major in Toonology. Another thing that stayed was his knack for carpentry, something in the wrists, methinsk.

Since starman spirits have star-might, (and the witch doctor spilled some wackass magic rubber in the potion that seperated __________ from his body), Starman gained "Toon-Force" powers, and proceeded to demolish that little town that saved it's life. It only took 2 days, 1 for staring into the sky contemplating if he should do it and one for actually doing it. The order these days came in is still being debated.

ADDENDUM:

At least, that's what he told us the third time we asked him. The first time he was an actor and got his lead role in a kids show made by nintendo stolen by the same Mario Mario. The second time we asked he was a con-man, who tried to get all into the mario business by trying to be a long lost third mario brother, but things went a little sideways when they threw him down the drain for his greediness. We cannot take anything he says for certain, because next time we ask he'll say he was a woman who just ordered the mario bros plumbing service, but got kidnapped by king koopa for one of his nefarious plots.

Strengths

 * Toon Force: The ability to do anything, as long as one person present finds it funny (humorous, a kneeslapper, even some forced exhalation). That includes: Creating or destroying mass/energy, ignoring energy inputs / outputs (ex: punches, but also electricity and gravity), Enhanced human abilities, and whatever is available in "The Budget".
 * "The Budget": A source of power that allows Starman to do, quote: "Cool stuff for the audience".
 * Special Carpentry: Aside from toon force, Starman only has his skills, or skill, at his disposal. He's still very talented with a hammer, being able to create doors that act as "Warp Zones" to effectively anywhere that doesn't have interdimensional travel protection. (Yes, he had these before the incident, don't ask me why teleportation isn't mass produced yet.)
 * Acting: Starman is a fine actor. Even without toon force to fool anyone, he can still act his part well enough to trick anyone who rolls low enough or has an IQ lower than 80. It says it got classes from "Theeeeeeeee bona-fid-e lou captain albay-no himself!", whatever that means.

Weaknesses

 * Simplicities: Starman is not incredibly intelligent, often putting his vices before his body. Indulge him in some small successes, let him land a few hits, and it's easy to get to his head.
 * Phenomenal, Cosmic Powers... Itty bitty living space: He's not an EXE exactly, being from a television show. Cannot escape it's universe under any circumstance, though it has no interest in doing so. -"What good is the multiverse if they don't have hot dogs like peepaw does them up at Lindow Street!?"
 * Power-Drain: Sap away his power, even if not for yourself, and he's as easy to hit as the broad side of a barn. However, it may try to sue you for theft and intellectual property crimes
 * Fate: Starman is essentially fated to lose. No matter how perfect a plan, plot, or purpose, he will fail at every attempt to succeed in a malicious plot. Something of a side effect of being a bad guy in a cartoon and the witch doctor's potions.

THE WISHES
In one of his episodes, Starman loses a few too many battles against luigi in a single day, and in his anger goes to his lair. Muttering something about a trump card, he goes to a spectacularly large pile of treasures and artifacts. Pulling out a lamp it got from a desert who-knows-where, he does the whole schtick. Rub it, out comes the genie. But starman has no time for the genie's snarkiness, and puts it rather bluntly. "I get three wishes, and you get to keep givin them!". Recognizing the threat, the genie complied. These were Starman's wishes. We believe Starman didn't wish death upon the brothers because it'd be too easy. "It's got to count, or the past years won't be worth it!" We can't help but respect the guy. (Just a little bit though.)
 * 1) Revival Immortality: Starman's no idiot (Note: rephrase, Starman is an idiot. Note 2: I'll do it later), so he got revival immortality over regenerative immortality, none of that unending pain nonsense. Anytime it dies, it'll come from "off-screen", much how cartoon characters will regenerate all damage, but only when off-screen. (it can do that too.)
 * 2) Total and Absolute Copyright on his entire being: Nothing, Living or dead, can mimic any facet of Starman's existence, Including but not limited to: His name, likeness, personality, and profitability. (Practically, this means no cloning or evil copies of Starman.) [We're glad even he doesn't want multiples of himself running around]
 * 3) [Revoked for misuse.]

Interactions
Starman affiliates with "Big-Bads", Such as Executable M, MX (Though he despises/tolerates the carpenter.), and also "Side-Characters", likeJennifer/End.smc. Essentially, he likes being around the people who've won the "audience" or have "made it big". It wants that for itself.

It would have very flat and obvious relationships with any given character based on their archetypes.

It also likes to give nicknames, ExeM being Sir, MX is Big Boss, Jennifer is Lady, MVG is Mister, InfernoPlumber is Champ, on and on.

= PATCH: CRUEL CONNIVING CONSTRUCT =

Patch is a figment of Starman's imagination, come to life with the power of rubberhose.

As a creation of starman, Patch is incredibly strong. And to our amazement, competent. An excellent strategist; unburdened by ego or toon law. She'd rule the Mushroom kingdoms if it wasn't for Starman hampering her potential, but laws of robotics and what-not.

Weighing more than three entire mario's (and approximately 4 starman's), she still moves swiftly and on a dime. We've narrowed down the reasons for this being the same force that allowed stick figures in 2010's stickfight flipnote animations to fight with such ferocity, or that being a figment of a toon's imagination really fucks with reality.

She'll use most any weapon- a result of being the hired muscle for someone who can create just about any weapon on the spot- though favors basic extending arms or a mace on a chain. We have no idea where this choice comes from, seeing as toadstool never uses such brutal weaponry, not even after swapping out her name for her father's middle name. (Peach would only ever go so far as to use a halberd; definitely spiky but not the same as a mace.)

She's not afraid to use starman as a meatshield every chance she gets, uninterested in his preservation. And while Starman doesn't hold any care for Patch, he requires her survival and respects her utility.
