“Jinjo! Weeee!”
My basic jinjo design takes the shape of the polygons in the old Banjo Kazooie games and gives them a nice twist.
Instead of making the hanging part around their waist some sack of flesh or donut of random fat (which is basically what Nuts and Bolts did), I replaced them with a skirt of feathers. Jinjos are small, light creatures coated in a thin layer of down feathers from beak to toe. More developed feathers grow from their waists and arms. They are not birds or mammals but a unique creation all on their own.
Jinjos are tribal people from the country of Pazuru. They come in many colors with red being the only exception. It does occur in jinjos but only after they’ve saturated themselves in spells using red breegull feathers to obtain more power. Shamans and other magic authorities are often red.
The word jinjo is based on their ancient language: “Jin” meaning light and “Jo” meaning being. They see themselves as beings of light.
Monarchs are always born much larger than the average jinjo. The bloodline isn’t limited to the royal family, so sometimes villages will have big jinjos born to them as civilians. Generally speaking though, the royal family are the “big Jinjos”, and the other big ones outside of that are just anomalies. Take the height of King Jingaling for example.
Jinjos can perform spells. All jinjos produce from their own bodies the energy required to use spells, which isn’t something other species can claim. Some examples of creatures that produce their own magic energy would be red breegulls, humans and glowbos. Other species can learn to use magic, but they have to source it from things that produce it.
Jinjos are not particularly powerful on their own. They have the ability to fly, create basic elements, light, etc. Few have ever been deemed powerful just based from their own energy source. If jinjos want to use more powerful magic, they must source it from elsewhere, like using glowbos, for example, or the skulls of humans (like Mumbo in the first game).
Two words to describe the entire race in a nutshell would be “cowardly” and “clever”. They are not ones to face their fears but have devised many clever ways around them. Most of the time these plans end badly for the jinjo race. One of their ways around their greatest fear ended in their eventual extinction.
More on the plot details later, but enjoy my jinjos, nonetheless.

A mysterious figure waits among the stars. The creed predicts an insidious creature will exterminate the human race. She cannot save the humans, however, but instead awaits to rescue a single soul.
The child who will undo the taboo.
Or so they can merely pray for.
Welcome to my blog!
Sooo yeah, this is a Nintendo AU blog! Feel free to ask questions on my AU and common (or uncommon) Nintendo characters.
Here is where I will share my AU of the Nintendo universe, how it all connects, and what became of the ever disappearing human race among the stars.
How a girl became the queen of an alien planet, and how two average plumbers managed to rescue her.
Why a singular human lives among a community of humanoid animals.
The sole human on Ripple Star.
How Shiver Star came to be.
The Master and the Crazed.
The ultimate taboo.
And how mankind is a force to be reverentially loved and feared.
Main games explored in the story:
Mario games
Animal Crossing games
Banjo Kazooie 1 & 2
Kirby games and show
Jet Force Gemini
