Meet the Cast: Bandana Waddle Dee

Our next one in the Meet the Cast section is Bandana Waddle Dee. This one is actually fun to write, especially playing a guy who secretly has anxiety but doesn't let that stop him from staying loyal, to friends or to family.

--------------------

"Well, my turn isn't it? Let's get this done."

Basic Information

Name: Bandana Servician

Age: 12 [by the start of Planet Robobot]

Gender: Male

Orientation: Questioning

Hometown: Archeon Town, West Area, Neo Star

Species: Waddle Dee

Ability: Spear

Job: Servant to King Dedede, adventurer

Other names: The Loyal Servant, Bandee ("This nickname was started by His Majesty... then everyone starts calling me like that. I'm fine with that, actually, in fact, I like it!"), Shortass ("Robobot used to call me this. I hate this name. If anyone outside them tries calling me this, I swear...")

Alignment: Lawful Good

One of Kirby's closest sidekicks who willingly joined him after being rescued in a different war, he's always there whenever Kirby gets into shenanigans without absence, whether it's to help His Majesty King Dedede or to give back-up to his best friend. It's usually both. While he probably doesn't initially show it to strangers, he is as loyal and fierce when it comes to his duties to help. His spearmanship is one of the best amongst other waddle dees, and thanks to a small upgrade on his spear and some magnetic gloves his long range lets him to get away with commencing or defending ambushes from the front and back. It also helps that he is the nimblest member of the team, making him the team’s go-to stealth person. 

Detailed Information

Goals/Motivation: "I want to keep up with everyone and be as beneficial as I can to the community. Look, I get that I shouldn't overwork myself, Kirby and Robobot complained about it, but hey, I want to be able to stand on my own when I'm alone, and I HATE having to hold everyone back! I need to be the best I can be, so I can keep helping people along the way."

Hobby: "Cooking - it's something I always do at home. I love trying out new recipes from time to time, it definitely helps during travels when your choices are more limited. Especially when His Majesty and Kirby both enjoys food. Also, watching as people enjoy my cooking makes me feel warm."

Favorite Food: "I love apples. They are healthy and some say they keep the doctors away, but mostly, they are quite flexible! I can use it in a lot of ways, like apple juice, apple pie, apple cake, apple wine, apple candy, the list goes on. I love working with this ingredient too when I'm cooking! Definitely a must-have for me."

Least Favorite Food: "I don't have many preferences, but if there's one ingredient I find it hard and scary to work with, it's bitter melon. I am yet to find something that is good and acceptable by all with that specific plant, really..."

Favorite Game Type: "I don't play games often, but I find cooking games actually relaxing. I also enjoy puzzles from time to time!"

Habits: Uses softer censor of words [fiddlesticks, fudge, etc], tends to avoid using his bandana to clean himself ("Hey, I don't want my bandana to get dirty on purpose!"), tends to hide items in his bandana for use

Other Liked Things: "My bandana is a gift from His Majesty King Dedede! He said that it'd look cute on me. It was a honor to wear it everyday. I also have a pin that Captain Waddle Doo gave me to keep the bandana tight and well-kept. Also, I had to give the bandana some ornaments so that in case there are impostors, they will find it harder to mimic me and my no-longer plain bandana..."

Secret: Tends to sneak out to train by himself outside when no one is looking. Robobot Armor tends to come with him sometimes to spar together, but they are a wild card and sometimes reports it to everyone else anyways. He also tends to steal food from Dedede's Castle during incidents, something which Dedede actually knows but decided not to tell anyone, which means that yes, Bandee doesn't know his king knew what he did.

Relationships

Best Friends: "Kirby is my first friend, so he counts. Then Robobot Armor joined us. Honestly, both are equal, just like how he sees both of us the same way. Though, I still prefer Kirby around since I stuck with him the most!"

Rivals: "Is it funny that my rival was Robobot Armor too? Well, we used to be bitter rivals, it's a long story, but now we're cool with each other. We still show some... friendlier shades of that, but it didn't stop us from working together as a team!"

Enemies: "Any enemy to my friends and the king is an enemy of mine too! Also, I don't really like Marx."

Family: "I do have a family, since I was raised in Neo Star. I have 2 siblings and a mom. My dad passed away when I was very, very young, so I don't remember him as much. Though, they are all nice! I do send them letters once a week when no incident happens..."

Crush/Love Interest: "With confidence, I can say I don't have any... yet. Kirby, on the other hand... Well, let's just say EVERYONE CAN SEE IT KIRBY! You don't have to lie~!"

Skills and Abilities

Overview:

Bandana Waddle Dee has practically the Spear ability moveset. However, there's an explaination for all that spear-throwing and pulling this time. After a certain incident in the war, Kirby slotted steel on Bandee's spear's handle to make it magnetic, which he can control with his (admittedly stolen) magnetic gloves. As the result, his range was made bigger than ever. He tends to act as the team's walking spy as he is pretty nimble and runs faster than everyone else by far.

Strength: Bandana's speed and stealth skills become invaluable for the team in various ways. He can run around and do precise attacks, and since his weapon is, well, long, he made sure he can use it to his advantage such as propelling himself to high places, disarming opponents ahead of time, or just cause sudden ambushes. He also can do a fair bit of acrobatics to back it up.

Weakness: While he is fast and experienced in causing opponents to stop and think for a second on how he can be that quick to put opponents down, he is prone to attacks that hit hard. One mistake and he could suffer from the amount of damage he gets in one go. He also finds it hard dealing with machinery-based foes unless Kirby directs him to their weak points to expose.

"It's nice to meet you, by the way. Do you need anything? I'll be glad to help in that case!"

Meet the Cast - Meta Knight

Alright, simpers, get ready. Here's your blueberry borb. Writing his weakness is... finicky. I honestly don't know how, unlike Team Starstruck that has glaring weaknesses (ex. Robobot Armor sucks at fighting speed-based opponents, Bandana Dee risks himself more when getting hit by a particularly strong attack, Kirby can face problems if you use another gimmicky fighter), this guy is just. Fast. Like, faster than Bandee, so yeah. Real hard to hit. Help. Feel free to hand over feedbacks, if you wish!

--------------------

"...why are people interested in me... oh well. I shall answer your questions then."

Basic Information

Name: Meta Alecta

Age: 43 [by the start of Planet Robobot]

Gender: Male

Orientation: Asexual

Hometown: [REDACTED] ("...I would rather not recall.")

Species: Puffball

Ability: Wing + Sword

Job: Star Warrior, mentor to Kirby Team Starstruck

Other names: Meta Knight ("This is my knighted title. Please refer me as such formally."), The Lone Swordsman ("...why do people gave me such fancy titles...?"), Batman ("...Galacta..." *sigh*)

Alignment: Lawful Neutral, leaning Good

A veteran star warrior who keeps track of Dreamland's defenses with a mysterious past and years of experience behind him. As Kirby's mentor, he acts as the uptight 'father' when it comes to handling Team Starstruck. His fears of getting his student into danger had only risen since he was brainwashed in The Technological War. He was even skeptical of the Technician ability at first but its first outing of successfully defeating several mysterious attackers convinced him it was for the best Kirby kept that helmet. Stern and logical, he fights with the legendary sword Galaxia, with the permanent Wing ability he has had since birth, and the Sword ability he learned along the way.

Detailed Information

Goals/Motivation: "I simply wish to do what I was meant to do as a member of the Galactic Soldier Army. It is true I am a Star Warrior, and thus my supposed job was to travel, but I have requested for extended stays due to my student, Kirby."

Hobby: "Reading. And baking, occasionally - but do not count on me doing so often..."

Favorite Food: "...grapes. If we were to go beyond that, I think we are getting personal here that-" {Kirby: "Hey, Mety, do you want me to buy you some sweets? Or the parfait from-} "Kirby! Not now!"

Least Favorite Food: "...licorice."

Favorite Game Type: "I don't play games." {Robobot Armor: "What are you, a f^cking boomer?"} "Would you please be silent for 5 minutes Robobot Armor, and cease that dirty mouth of yours..."

Habits: Rarely ever swears, tries to cook by himself [unfortunately they all taste bad], secretly hides sweets ("What is that you are writing?")

Other Liked Things: "I have not much to tell in this case."

Secret: All his hidden sweet tooth aside, The Nightmare War gave him scars he didn't want to remember much on, and he has been dealing with the pain he has for a long time. The existence of his crewmates, the Core Four of Dreamland, and Team Starstruck has helped him to lighten up things, even if he can't or won't admit it. He may have no incentive to love anymore, a part of him wants to feel such, but he couldn't. The people he actually loved either married someone else, died, or both, so he is afraid of that happening again. All he has now is platonic love.

Relationships

Best Friends: "...I have... a few. His Majesty King Dedede... my crewmates who operate the Halberd alongside me. And my... students." {Bandana Dee: "...students? I thought it's just Kir-"} "...I can't believe I have to say this in front of... Fine. Couldn't you appreciate yourself, Bandana? I have three students, that includes you and Robobot Armor. Now go back to your duties..." {Bandana Dee: "...s-sir, you are-"} "I said return to your duties... at once."

Rivals: "...I do not acknowledge any-" {Galacta: "Sup, batman!"} "Oh great... Can't you just leave me? For now? I am not interested in-" {Galacta: "Anyways, do you know that he wants to whoop my butt because I was-" *gets a book thrown to his face* "HEY-"} "LEAVE."

Enemies: "Any enemy to this planet and the Galactic Soldier Army is an enemy, as well."

Family: "...I have none. Not any longer. Except the people I know."

Crush/Love Interest: "I have none, as well."

Skills and Abilities

Overview:

Meta Knight is a very experienced swordsman. Due to his rough training in the GSA, he has learned several techniques, and the things he bring, including the Galaxia and his Dimensional Cape, helps him to combat efficiently. His speed is also amazing, able to outrun a lot of combatants, which he combines with his swordfighting to dispatch opponents much faster. He also has several minor skills that is nothing to laugh at, including being able to operate battleships as well as general knowledge regarding his own kind, such as copy abilities.

Apparently, he also knows some types of magic and while he usually doesn't use it on fair fights, if he has to, he WILL use them, especially in decisive battles.

Strength: Fast and accurate would be a good way to describe Meta Knight's battle style. The legendary sword he holds helps out inflicting damage both short and medium ranged, which can hit hard, especially the Sword Beam technique, one which has been horned for hit far opponents. Once he gets the chance, he can follow up with quick hits, making it difficult to find a breathing room at times. His knowledge on magic also helps him to find weaknesses, and there are times he does use spells of his own, which can complicate things. It doesn't help that he can fly too.

Weakness: Much like any speed-related fighter, if he is not careful, it tends to be that one mistake could mean fatal. Fortunately, he is actually very careful, and thus, this problem is easily mitigated - he has a great stamina and persistence to back this up. Problem is, attacks that have huge range can still trip him at times. Opponents that can outlast him is also a problem.

"I suppose that wraps up this talk. As of you... is there anything else? If not, the door is over there to your right - I shall return to my duties, as well."

Meet the Cast: Robobot Armor

I gotta be honest, this one's very amusing since it's littered with swear words, but here's the last one for the day (hopefully), Robobot Armor. I can't believe they are the swearing guy of the team, but shut up lol.

--------------------

"Taking you long enough? Alright, f^ck it."

Basic Information

Name: Robobot Armor

Age: 3 months [chronologically]/19 [mentally]

Gender: Genderfluid

Orientation: Asexual

Hometown: Access Ark Green Greens Star Hill, Dreamland, Popstar Unknown ("Okay, actually, how the f^ck do I explain that one?")

Species: Artificial Being [Mechanical]

Ability: Pure

Job: Protector, adventurer

Other names: Truthful Steel Defender, Tincan ("If anyone but Bandee f^cking call me this, I'll make a sh^tty corpse out of them. I am not fighting for my freedom to be called a F^CKING tincan.")

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Born out of Kirby's untimely curiosity with a certain beta test chip, this mechanical suit managed to find a way to break out from their programming and live a life of their own with their now owner and friendly rival. Acting rough and tough to keep others from trying to harm their allies is not a problem, but despite them actually being softer than they let on, their battle system that mimics Kirby's own shows that they were really forged to fight, with less selections but more consistent and greater damage output. They are definitely the strongest member of the team physically, which comes to good use as they can tank more hits in the frontline.

Detailed Information

Goals/Motivation: "I was born to protect the living sh^t out of Kirby - he is my master, I had to. But then, he gave me some pretty damn good experiences, and now, I'll be f^cking fair, I realize there's more than just protecting him all the damn time. So now, I want to experience life. That is all. Screw those assholes who think I couldn't have one as a damn machine."

Hobby: "Well, I've been rather interested in organic life or whatever the hell it's called. I like gardening. Embarrassing for someone like me, you say? Well, you can go f^ck yourself. Learning about plant life is just pretty damn fun to do, especially how accepting they are to be taken care of, unlike some sh^tty people... Oh, and I like sharing all that sh^t with Taranza."

Favorite Food: "...do I look like I can f^cking eat to deduct this? I don't, so..."

Least Favorite Food: "...again, f^cking hell, do I look like..." *shrug*

Favorite Game Type: "I'm a robot, so I'm not damn sure if playing technology would be something I'd do, since I'm one. But f^ck it, just give me those simulation games or something. Gives me some f^cks to care when I get bored- Oh sh^t the doggy just died. Damn..."

Habits: Peppers swear words ALL THE TIME [thanks to Bonfire], tends to pick up Bandana in their arms so he can sleep well, observes every plant or animal they see

Other Liked Things: "Okay, so there's this f^cking red cloth I slung around me. That sh^t was from a flag Kirby just stole. He said something along the lines of making myself feel more accepted in the team since they all wear some sort of fabric or some sh^t. Though..." *mimics Kirby's gesture of holding one arm with the other solemnly* "...it does feel nice. I'll be damn honest, I was dang pissed off that when I was stuck as a damn hologram without my body, I wasn't able to feel it anymore! Kirby wound up getting a new proper one for me once I got my body back but... I'm still damn attached to the old one. Oh, and I also like those f^cking plants people gave me sometimes."

Secret: Actually just wants to be accepted fully as themselves. As being based on the invader armor, they sometimes become a walking trauma trigger for others who had experience with the HWC before. While most slowly but eventually became more open, some still avoided them. They understand that they can't befriend everyone, but the fact they kept making others feel scared unintentionally makes them feel a bit bad for themselves. They also sometimes feel a bit envy on how biological beings can live their life.

Relationships

Best Friends: "As my 'master', Kirby is one. Bandee too. Those two little sh^ts. They taught me a lot, I wouldn't live this far if it weren't be for them. And also Taranza, he gave me a lot of f^cking experiences in this whole organic life thing. To all of you, thank you."

Rivals: "Well, Bandee used to be a b^tch, so we used to beat each other's ass a lot. Nowadays, we still do, but friendlier. He always gives a damn good match."

Enemies: "F^ck you, Bonfire. I proven you wrong, asshole. Oh, and f^ck the old HWC people. Those idiots who thought I'd totally stick around to be their tool or some sh^t."

Family: "...Team Starstruck counts, right? F^ck yeah it does."

Crush/Love Interest: "I don't get what the hell it is and I am fine without it. But my master, Kirby, apparently has one, and apparently he couldn't f^cking admit that sh^t! It's funny as heck!"

Skills and Abilities

Overview:

Due to being binded to Kirby's Adaptor Chip, Robobot Armor shares some similarities with the Technician ability he is holding. They have their own Ability Modes and changes appearance and weapons accordingly. However, they have less choices (they have 13 configurations total, not including Halberd Mode and Final Weapon) but more consistent damage output. In other words, what Robobot Armor lacks in variety, they back it up with sheer strength.

Strength: Being a mechanical being means that they don't have to worry much about pain and durability. Robobot Armor is, well, strong enough on their own. Their strength lends them leeway to break things without having to think much about it, and their size apparently helps them to grapple opponents and toss them around. There's a bit of a wrestler in them, indeed. Ability Modes also makes it possible for alternative battle styles, just like Kirby. Basically? They hit VERY hard.

Weakness: Unfortunately, being a walking hunk of metal doesn't always guarantee that they can catch up to others speed-wise without boosting. Robobot Armor can still be overwhelmed by speed and numbers. They might not be fragile, but at the same time, they can't survive on their own when facing a huge army without help. They usually rely more on tanking hits, but eventually, they still have their limits and they'll be downed eventually with persistence.

"Sh^t, that took way too long now, didn't it? F^cking great..."

Meet the Cast: Kirby

Hello there!

From now on, expect this special section so you can learn more about the characters. We'll be starting with the founding members of Team Starstruck.

Today on the spotlight is Kirby, our main protagonist... and the one who has the most POV later (lol)

--------------------

"Hey, everyone! Sorry for the wait! Is it my turn now?"

Basic Information

Name: Kirby ("I don't have a family name... or do I? I never find one...")

Age: 13 [by the start of Planet Robobot]

Gender: Male

Orientation: Straight

Hometown: Star Hill, Dreamland, Popstar

Species: Puffball

Ability: Technician [pure type]

Job: Star Warrior [in-training], adventurer

Other names: [Leading] Starbound Technician, the Pink Demon ("I'm not too fond of this one, actually..."), Kirb, Strawberry Puff [by Galacta]

Alignment: Neutral Good

The de-facto leader of Team Starstruck, he bears many titles and many friends. The Technological War started by the Nullari wasn't exactly his first rodeo into adventuring considering he got dragged around since his birth and subsequent crashing into Dreamland. Friendly and curious, Kirby's seemingly innocent outlook surprisingly hides a lot of vigor, and his balanced stats as well as a jack-of-all-trades system of his Technician ability absolutely helps to get in and out of fights easier. He can interact with a lot of weapons and items more than the rest, and even make use of it when he finds the chance thanks to his ability now giving him what amounts to technological addiction of sorts.

Detailed Information

Goals/Motivation: "I just want to enjoy life and make friends, but at the same time, I strive to experience everything I can!"

Hobby: "I really like exploring! I don't mind resting around and enjoying life, but you can see me wandering around Dreamland or places I have visited! It gives me joy. Oh, and I like eating too, actually. Also, I don't mind if you give me technological things to fix or to observe, especially blueprints, I love them as well!"

Favorite Food: "Watermelons! I've loved that fruit since I was little! It's really juicy and sweet. People of the Cappy Town loves to send me some once in a while!"

Least Favorite Food: "...I don't usually have one, but I would try avoid eating insects if possible... I don't know. Seems gross to me..."

Favorite Game Type: "I love shooting games! They motivate me to stay on my toes!"

Habits: Sometimes falls asleep on random places when too exhausted, rubs his arm when anxious or stressed, swears ONLY when under pressure

Other Liked Things: "I love my scarf! Mety and Galacta gave this for my 13th birthday. Sets me apart from any other pink puffball in case I find more similar ones. Oh, and my helmet!"

Secret: Has a crush on Ribbon. He keeps sending valentine chocolates every Valentine's Day by sneaking into the post office. Though, this crush is a common secret since everyone can see it anyways.

Relationships

Best Friends: "I have a lot, but you'll see me with Bandana and Robobot from time to time! We're part of Team Starstruck, after all! Without them, I'd never survive that war... hahaha..."

Rivals: "Hm? I used to have one in Dedede, but he's more of my surrogate uncle than anything."

Enemies: "...do I have one? Not... really... Not the type to make enemies unless they get too out of hand, you know?"

Family: "...I don't know. Team Starstruck and my friends here at Dreamland are my found family. Sometimes, I wish I would know something about it, but people say I kinda look like Galacta..."

Crush/Love Interest: "...I have none... I swear! Guys, it's not what you think! I am not in love with Ribbon! We're just friends! Don't look at me like that!"

Skills and Abilities

Overview:

Kirby's main copy ability in this AU is named Technician (exclusive for this AU as well, more explanation regarding this ability will be shown soon), a contact ability that he can get out at any time by activating his Adaptor Chip, albeit his is a prototype. The chip is also binded to Robobot Armor, causing most of his skills to be with them... at first, as later a loophole lets him to access his own modes with a bunch of differences.

Due to his affinity to copy abilities, his ability's specialty is Adapt. This results in his powers circling around Ability Modes, which grants him different weapons and skillsets depending on what ability he is storing. Without any modes, he wields the Virtual Drill - a hardlight drill that he crosses his arms in front of his body to use, albeit he can attach it to any part of his body if he so wishes - by default.

The helmet also gives him the ability to fix broken technological devices by touch.

Without the Technician ability, if he chooses to let it go (since it’s not binded to him), he can use copy abilities and stuff like any pure puffballs do.

Strength: Because of his variety of moveset pools, he becomes the jack-of-all-trades. As long as there's something to scan (mainly attacks and weapons - he CAN scan actual people, but doing so will cause whoever gets scanned to be stunned for a moment), he can change battle styles on the fly. But even without that, while his moves are contact-based, don't be fooled, his range is still quite massive, as he can and will use his erratic movements and 'acrobatics' to reach enemies that at first glance cannot be reached.

Weakness: Kirby has to maintain stamina, as his bounces off it. He has to preserve it well or he'll get tired easily. He is also limited to one mode at a time, and as his normal state counts as a mode, he cannot go back and use his drill at any time unless he discards his current mode. Also, if you're smart enough, you can feasibly counter his moves by either playing into his gimmick or try an advantage, especially on certain modes that are elemental in nature or mostly more support-based.

"I hope we can have good relations moving on!"
