Welcome to Dreamland !

« Hi~i ! It's Kirby ! Meta, Dedede and Ban-Dee are here too ! Fumu said once that we should share our adventures with the whole world, so here we are ! » [Gijinka ask blog for the Dreamland Quartet. Check navigation for more infos. Current status : discontinued, but feel free to hang around !]

[dreamland-parfait]

{Announcement !}

{I don’t think it’s much of a surprise, but I declare tonight the official discontinuation of this blog. As usual, I apologize to the new followers that arrived in the meantime, and to the 3 asks that will sit unanswered... but yeah.} 

{My interests fluctuate terribly, leaving this blog with some huge hiatuses, and I would like to move on and focus on some long term art projects that I’ve been planning for years now. I will definitely still draw gikabis whenever a new game comes out - my love for the franchise is dormant for now, but won’t die anytime soon, but I think that it’s time for this blog to close its gates (officially, because nvm my months of absence OOF)}

{I give my sincerest thanks to everyone who’s been on board for this - old and new followers alike, including those who’ve unfollowed in the meantime !! <3 I have no intention of deleting this blog because I still like to scroll through it, so you can also hang around too. Speaking of which, I have one last question - I may be mistaken, but I believe Tumblr deletes your blog after a while of inactivity ? If it’s true, what can I do to prevent that ? D:}

{Anyway, as a reminder, if you like my art and/or my person, or if you need anything, you can always find me at @pyro-madder​ ! I post and reblog about whichever franchise is on my mind atm + pictures of animals, mostly.}

{Aaand I think that’s it ! Many many thanks to all of you again - I had a lot of fun running this blog ! May we be blessed with many more beautiful Kirby games in the future <3}

{hcs : wave 2 edition}

{because unlike the other 2 waves I’ve been completely neglecting them which isn’t good. at all}

Daroach 🐁

He’s, as of today, the most skilled magician native to Dreamland.

Fancies himself a man of culture - enjoys litterature a lot, and writes down himself his crew’s many adventures.

Hates, HATES being called a rat. He’s “a mouse, Mus musculus, for the UnderWorld’s sake”. That goes for the rest of his Squad too.

His full name is Doroche Desroches*. His relatives had high expectations for him, which caused many conflicts, until he had enough and departed from the family household.

He met his three comrades while on the run, one by one - starting with lone engineer Doc, then box ring fighter Storo, and finally stray pickpocket Spinni.

Everyone suspects him and Drawcia to be *at least* a past affair, but we may never know the truth...

*Desroches is his name in French. Yes, both ‘s’ are silent.

Dark Meta Knight 🗡️

I might have said it several times, but I can’t imagine anyone being ok with being named somebody else’s dark self - especially not someone as prideful as DMK. So in this verse, Mirror Worlders use nicknames and anagrams, therefore you’ll mostly hear me talk about “Taem Knight” and “Rykib”.

If Meta has a Spanish accent, Taem has an Italian one.

Unlike Meta who strictly refuses to use Nightmare’s magic, Taem won’t hesitate to rely on the mirror magic he’s inherited from Dark Mind.

I personally don’t support the theory that he was the one to corrupt Sectonia, though he was vaguely aware of the whole ordeal (but had no business stepping in). He remains slightly unnerved by Taranza’s presence, and the feeling is mutual, but they acknowledge eachother without further drama.

Aforementionned uneasiness is due to his disliking of Dark Taranza (”Daranza”) - finding him “dangerously cunning, even to [his] standards.” He’s also a bit wary of his mistress, Sectonia DX (”Alraunia”), but gets along just fine with Shadow Dedede (for whom i have yet to find a nickname). Meanwhile, he’s as protective of Rykib as Meta is of Kirby.

Adeleine 🎨

She’s the distant descendant of the person who created Drawcia and Paintra.

Regarding Shiver Starian heritage, she’s actually of Japanese descent.

Because she lives within Whispy’s Forest, close to nature 24/7, she has quite the sharp intuition and receptivity. The fact that she’s used to live by herself is also to thanks for this.

And the forest loves her back ! She can often be found around Whispy, surrounded by the Animal Friends, Nruff and Nelly, as well as Pon & Con.

Ribbon 💎

She’s a pacifist that tries to see of good in everyone - including in Dark Matters.

Zero Two occasionally manifests himself through her body. Try to harm her, and she’ll be bleeding defensive corrosives without realizing it herself, not to mention the initial protection she gets from the Crystal.

As the Crystal Maiden, she has the innate power to “cleanse” anything, which goes from making water drinkable to exorcizing a dark possession (though the latter is obviously easier said than done, recquiring a certain timing and energy).

{Little blog update :

- added links to lore page, newly-revamped character page and species guide on navigation page (sidebar)

- added “likes” and “dislikes” to the quartet’s bios for funsies !}

[pyro-madder]

I haven’t done much content for Wave 2 and it’s a shame, because there’s a lot of potential in two little girls, a suave gangster and an actual bastard forcibly teaming up

(obviously, the most mature and responsible of the lot turns out to be Adeleine)

{AU things - Species}

{ok so like, as I’ve said before, I’m a naturalist student, therefore I always put a lot of thought regarding species (also hence why I always talk about physiology and metabolism in my headcanons lol.}

{So I’ve decided to make a little list for the different terms I use in this verse regarding the character’s species, as they don’t always 100% match their game counterparts’. I’ll only talk about the ones who have representatives in my main gijs. Here goes !}

Stuff we’re familiar with

Humans : the reference point. Their kind appeared on Shiver Star, but a few of them migrated on Dreamland long ago, where they established a peaceful village. Most of them are no different from you and I, but some, like Adeleine, are born with special talents.

Examples : Adeleine, Dedede (half), Meta Knights, anime’s Cappies

Animals : general term for non-humanoid fauna that appeared on Shiver Star and followed humans in Popstar. Each species evolved differently after they settled in Dreamland, also gaining unusual appearances and abilities. Sometimes they have the ability (whether innate or obtained with time) to transform into humans, imitate their speech, and possess at least human-level intelligence and self-awareness.

Examples : All 6 Animal Friends, Dyna Blade, Landia

-

Critters and Aliens

Ancient Halcandrans : a race of powerful inborn magicians with a knowledge of the universe and a civilization that surpassed any other. Were believed extinct until recently.

-> Dark skin, above average human height once adults, brightly colored eyes, large triangular ears.

Examples : Magolor, Hyness, Jambastion Generals (half)

Beast : umbrella term referring to half-human, half-animal individuals. Unlike regular animals, they can’t naturally shapeshift, and are already closer to humans in behavior, while retaining some of their bestial half’s preferences.

-> Possess both human and animal features (ears, tail, wings...).

Examples : Dedede (half), Daroach, Taranza, Sectonia, Captain Vul

Note : Whether I humanize an animal-like character into a Beast or, well, an animal, depends on how anthropomorphic they are. You’ll notice that the characters listed above possess clothing and human speech, as opposed to those I’ve listed as shapeshifting animals.

Dark Matters : self-formed embodiments of darkness and negativity, most of them are actually closer to virus than fully living beings. About 90% of the race lives together in a highly hierarchised society based on their degree of self-consciousness.

-> Usually dark skin, two eyes but one pupil, oozing and sharp-toothed mouth. Feed on negative energy. Dislike light.

Examples : You know them well enough, but let’s note that neither Void Termina nor Zero are Dark Matters themselves.

Demons : nocturnal, more or less humanoid critters, often superpredators or parasites. Like Dark Matters, most of them are encountered in a single realm and under divine command.

-> Diverse appearances, but all possess sharp teeth and claws. Omnivorous with a clear preference for blood and meat. Heavily influenced by the moon cycle; dislike strong, direct starlight (unless they use cosmic energy or magic, like the two specimens listed below).

Examples : Meta Knight (half), Marx 

Fairies : gregarious magical beings in close relation with nature and the elements. Rumors say they once existed on Shiver Star, but have migrated towards a more peaceful planet to flee the spreading of humanity.

-> Winged children (mostly girls). Old Fairies with great magic can become Great Fairies, who have the appearance of young adults.

Examples : Ribbon, Machaon (= Queen Fairy ; Great Fairy)

Modern Halcandran : their exact origin is unknown, but in terms of history, they’re the alien species closest to humans. Their knowledge of science is only matched by the Ancients.

-> Pale skin, brightly colored hair with a thick, smooth texture. Large, pale irises.

Examples : Susie, Haltmann, Jambastion General (half)

Sprouts : vegetal equivalents of Beasts. Can both eat and photosynthesize.

-> Possess both human and vegetal features (leaves, petals, etc.)

Example : Gryll

Star Warriors : cosmic species powered by starlight. Usually, they’re nomads and solitary, scattered across galaxies.

-> Young features and sturdy body. Grow wings when reaching adulthood, and sometimes other appendages (horns, for instance).

Examples : Kirby, Meta Knight (half), Galacta Knight

Waddle Dees : gregarious species native to Dreamland. Many subspecies and variations.

-> Share the Star Warriors’ young appearance and sturdy body. Highly adaptative, can live almost anywhere. The common subspecies is red-haired and brown-eyed.

Examples : Bandana Dee, Sailor Dee

-

Artificial and Magical beings - are not “alive” in the biological way, but nonetheless possess a consciousness.

Comets : originally crafted by the Ancients, autonomous androids with godlike powers that guard the galaxies. Asleep most of the time, need a certain amount of energy to awake.

-> They can project a large-sized hologram of themselves, but their actual body is already way above average human height.

Examples : Galactic Nova, Star Dream

Sentient artefacts : items that were given a will of their own through magic, or have obtained it themselves after existing for a long time. They can project their consciousness in a humanoid appearance, like a solid hologram.

-> If the projection is heavily damaged, it will disappear for a while. If the item itself is heavily damaged, it can be fatal.

Examples : Drawcia, Paintra, Yin-Yarn, Claycia, Elline, Lor Starcutter

-

Additionnal terms - not individual species, but additional characteristics.

Yarn (x) : Any individual under PatchLand’s spell, turning their bodies into yarn, fabric and beads.

Shadow (x) : Any individual from the Mirror World ; a Dreamlander’s doppelganger with skin, hair and eyes a shade of grey (though dye and lenses are an option).

Cristallization : “Unfertilized lovechild” ; individual born self-formed with characteristics of two or more characters.

Examples : Miracle Matter (Kirby + Zero), Dark Taranza (Taranza + Sectonia)

Primordial Deities : appear generally humanoid, but can’t quite be classified under known species since they’re primordial, self-formed embodiments.

Examples : Nightmare, Dream (Fountain of Dreams deity), Void Termina, Zero Two, Necrodeus, to-be-named Dreamstalk deity

Nosferatu the Vampyre

[pyro-madder]

Hey uuuh I think you’ve noticed already but don’t be surprised when I kind of disappear during the week ; college schedule is Hecc, I have an association to supervise and there’s a course I’m trying to get for next year which has like, 16 seats so I better work for it

Plus I’m going to be living alone with my bro for several months starting this week, so in addition to that I’ll have chores to handle and… yeah I hope I’m not going straight for a burnout

[dreamland-parfait]

{so yeah basically if I’m not too active on my main already, then *this* blog is on Mega Hiatus(tm). I’ll drop by to gush some headcanons from time to time but that will be it for a while :’>}

{hc : in Kirby, when you’re dying or have a near-death experience, you can see butterflies fluttering in your peripheral vision - and no matter how much you turn your head, you never see them frontview}

[kirbyrpmasterlist-deactivated20]

Hey, if you’re a roleplay and/or an ask blog with a character set in the Kirby series (canon or fan made), could you reblog this post? I’m trying to find everyone to have a full functioning list.

I ask that anyone that posts graphic smut and/or porn not reblog this post, please.

{y’know what more Jambas hcs because I love them. so much}

- Francisca and Flamberge’s magic is such that their regular body temperature has decreased and increased over the years, respectively. While their metabolism followed without consequence, they may mind their surroundings and you will often find Franny with a fresh drink in hand in warm and/or dry areas, and vice versa for Berge.

- As for Zan, she has an electrical current constantly coursing through her body. She can discharge it more or less intensely, in a similar fashion to electric eels and rays. Regularly charging herself up through exterior source is as important to her body as feeding and sleeping (she won’t die from empty batteries, but will hardly be able to move). (This also means that startling her through physical contact is a terrible idea.)

- Hyness’ magic is not limited to his subordinates’ elemental trinity - in fact, he’s mastered most of the natural elements, such as earth, wind and fire water. He can also easily take control of small living beings - and big ones if he focuses hard enough, or if he influences them for an extended period of time. He also possesses life-inducing abilities.
