In a Paper Story Play-By-Post and the GM had some NPCs we've recruited overtime, so working off of their references and the battle sprites used for them, I came up with some unofficial designs for them!
(Some short snippets of context for each of them, though I wouldn't be surprised if they skip over a lot)
(Top Left) Mouscheherazade: a Blue Squeek magician with a book said to have 1001 Spells (And one of 1001 Creatures, not seen here). Thanks to them, she can fire blasts of randomancy, have the perfect incantation to any situation, or lookup the deets on practically anything.
(Top Right) Echo & Shade: Two Duplighost sisters, one (Left) made by the daughter of BoneChill from energy of a certain pure-heart and the other made with pure-negative energy by the daughter's painter girlfriend, to act as the yang to the first's ying. Inseparable, They travel the world to grow as people and make their moms proud.
(Bottom Left) Gu: Why yes that is just Kid Goku So for a bit of context, the GM, looking for names to give Yoshi NPCs, realized Roshi was a surprisingly good fit, made the NPC based off of him, and ended up adding Krillin and Goku in the story as NPCs as well (The former being a koopa, and the latter being the hyper, monkey goomba, renamed Gu). We haven't really gotten any other lore that makes him stand out from his original counterpart, but he do be there.
(Bottom Middle) Are. T: A light toad from a secret castle hidden somewhere near the Warp Zone who wields the legendary sword Caliburn. He was on a quest to stop a Beanish Black Knight from wreaking havoc on the lands, and with his mission complete, now aids the party on their own adventure.
(Bottom Right) Rowdy Ruff Guy: A gung-ho Shy Guy pirate who, due to a run in with a cursed-pillow, was put into a 30-year stasis nap. Now returned to an age seemingly without piracy, he joins a certain pirate in leading a band of 100 misfits in search of treasures throughout the land.
