Four, #2982

Four looked around himself, only to discover that the rest of his party was nowhere to be found. Did he lose them in the last room? He turns around to backtrack, making his way toward the door when— Bang!
The door slammed shut, blocking his path back. Maybe he could still open it? Four reaches forward, tugging at the handle with all his might, but it remains firmly closed. Locked then. He'd have to make do until his friends can find their way in...

Four took a look around the room he finds himself stuck in, separated from the rest of his party. He had been hanging back during the other battles, offering supportive attacks here and there but never facing on the enemies directly. He wasn't really one for the spotlight, he preferred helping his friends over seeking glory for himself. His luck seems to have run out however, as the final boss stands dead ahead of him.

"Well well well... just a single Keepsie thinks himself strong enough to take me on alone? Let me show you just what you're dealing with..."

Four slowly breathed out, digging deep within himself to summon the strongest of his frozen treat powers to unleash a truly chilling wave of energy. Red, white, and blue blanketed everything, not a single spot of the room untouched by the icy delight. After a moment, he looked around himself, partly to make sure the boss was truly down for the count and partly hoping to spot his friends finally making it to the room he was in. Hearing a soft bang behind him, Four whipped around to see they had indeed made it in, shocked looks on all their faces at the state of the place.

"Hey, yOu maDe it! SorrY i alReadY tooK carE of tHe boSs..."

These aren't inspired by any video game in particular... more based on their lore with extra buffs that are kinda rpg-inspired ^^

Ivy's known the art of the sword for... almost as long as she can remember. She can fight. And she won't back down from one.
Even though she's usually up against small things, she'd absolutely take on a larger boss if she had to. Especially if this "power up" happens to be a new weapon, maybe enchanted... after all, unlike keepsies with their weapons being their treasure, she isn't limited to that..

Ganymede works alongside Ivy often, facing the same threats. His lantern's not a weapon, per se - it's a light used to guide lost souls. But Ganymede absolutely has the bravery - and, honestly, recklessness - needed to take on a larger foe.
So what if he happened to learn some skills with that lantern of his? If his light can drive away any weaker dark foes.. maybe if he found- or learned- something that helps him manipulate that light into attacks, it could also drive away something larger?

Sonny #4863 & Leo #1974

Sonny may seem like a harmless little fellow, but what his enemies don’t know is he’s got a secret weapon. Before heading off to battle Bowser, his friend Leo gifted him a useful mushroom. All Sonny must do is eat it, and he’ll grow 1000x his current size!
The mushroom was grown by Leo himself, in his mythical garden of wonders. Sonny would often go berry-picking in the bushes, riding atop Leo’s head who often reminded him which ones to avoid. This mushroom was called “Mega-shroom”, named by Sonny.
While on his journey, Sonny met many obstacles where he considered using the mushroom, but he knew it must be saved until the very last moment. Should he be hasty and eat it now, the effects could wear off by the time he made it to Bowser’s castle. A little keeplet would stand no chance fighting the great Bowser without help.
Forward the road ever stretched, and poor Sonny was not sure his little legs could go any further. Deciding to take a break, he took his favourite sapling out of his knapsack and laid down under a flower for shade.
That’s precisely when he remembered that Toad lives nearby! A dear friend of Sonny’s, who would surely be home.
At Toad’s abode, Sonny was able to stock up on food and have a good night’s rest.
“Good luck on your journey Sonny!” Toad screeched from his porch. Sonny smiled and waved goodbye, all the while thinking “How is it even possible to have a voice like his?”
While marching up to Bowser’s castle, Mega-shroom in hand, Sonny began calling him out.
“Come on out, Bowser! Release the Princess!”
Bowser roared from within his castle. “Alright alright, chill out. I’m coming.”
Sonny ate the mushroom, waiting for the power to activate. Slowly the trees began to look smaller, shorter, and suddenly Sonny could step on them entirely!
Bowser walked out, surprised and amazed at what he saw. “Uhm… Peach! Some…thing… is here?”
Princess Peach walked out, looking up at Sonny.
“Sonny! What are you doing? What weird plant has Leo grown this time?”
Sonny blushes.
“We.. thought you were in danger, Princess.”
“No! I’m helping Bowser practice his dancing skills. Didn’t you get my note?”
“...I don’t think I did…” Sonny is clearly embarrassed. And admittedly, it was a bit hard to hear anyone from such a height.
Princess Peach sent Sonny on his way back home, and with his power-up still activated he was able to make more than half the journey quite swiftly.

Hisuian Zorua's power-up: Evolving into Zoroark! This Zoroark is based loosely on a Korean gumiho, so I took some inspiration from Joseon fashion and folk art.

My girl Sunburst is happy to be put on recruiting duty! It knows all sorts of different kinds of convincing... but it's mostly just food. With the pomegranate that they always carry, she offers food to others with low HP or just in general need of food. Who can resist a juicy fruit? While she isn't technically a fruit bat, (a Honduran White bat actually), they love to carry assorted fruits around. You never know when you might need it, and now is the perfect time! She's definitely eager to make new friends, especially those she can fly around with.

She spots a lone keepsie, seemingly tired and worn out from trudging through whatever dungeon crawl they may have gone down. Sunburst is sure to cautiously approach, so as to not scare them off. They hold a fresh juicy apple within their tail's grasp, and offer it to the unknown keepsie. A bit of waiting... and... they take it slowly. Success! She has made a new friend... maybe. Sunburst starts off by introducing herself, in a more softspoken manner than her usual high energy demeanor. Now to introduce them to the rest of the party.

Thirteen is zipping around the wide open cave they've all found themselves resting in. The water of the lake ripples as he whooshes by, almost akin to a certain rainbow-haired pony. Near crash landing, they come to a stop and stare at the new keepsie. Sunburst introduces them, and the others gather around. Elsen is also shy, so he understands the reluctance from them.

"H-hello.. I hope you all don't mind my company," the newbie manages to get out. The others look at each other, before looking back and smiling. It seems they will all get along after all! The group of keepsies walk and talk through the rest of the dungeon together, forming new bonds and finding more food to munch on.

Vaeros ✦ #4069

Vaeros was going to pay others with his hoard of gold, but that's sort of his hoard of gold. Can't part with even a single piece of his hoard. So, he has to go with the next best thing. Flashy fireworks and aerial display. Most of the colors are in red, orange, and yellow. He feels those are the ones that catch the most attention as they're the colors of fire and gold. Meanwhile, Vaeros is darting through the sky doing various flips, turns, and rolls. Trying to make as great of a display as possible. There may or may not be the faint, off-tune singing from the skies of a certain Katie Perry song.

The display is absolutely gorgeous, despite only having three colors. And the molten wings of Vaeros are visible against the night sky as they leave trails of light like a sparkler or glowstick. On his last pass over a large, gathered crowed he drops fliers for joining his gaming party. It may seem like a lot of work for something so trivial, but Vaeros takes things like this very seriously. He may not seem as though he would be, but he's a hardcore gamer that loves his MMOs. What MMO is the party recruitment for? Well, his most recent addiction of course, FFXIV.

So, he's playing a Tank and need a Healer and two DPS. But he needs double that when it comes to raids. And then you need a whole lot more for alliance raids, though they're usually pretty easy to get randomized. Vaeros is more than happy to help any potential party members level. At that point, might as well form a guild and then there will be plenty of people to form parties with. Guess that means he's recruiting as many other gaming party members as possible for a build now.
