# About me
Hi everyone!I'm KoopaKrazy85, full name Koops "Krazy" Koopa - well, my online alter-ego is, anyway. I myself am a different person to my character, Krazy - he was originally an avatar for me but has slowly branched into a character in his own right. Much of the way we'd speak or behave is similar, but with different experience, knowledge, and even preferences. So here I'm describing my character:
Age: 15 (around 12 during the first war)
Height: 180cm (230 w/ hair)
Residence: Yoshi's Island
Diplomatic alliance: Mushroom Kingdom
Occupation: None
Super mega long backstory:
I was born in Darkland and my father worked for King Bowser, designing and repairing machinery. As I grew up I became fascinated with programming, and when I was a bit older I helped my Dad with his creations, here and there when I could. For a long time it was just the two of us and mum - we were noble koopas, so all our needs were met and there was never any real hassle. Physically I was always quite weak, and my frail build made me rather a target at school - now, I think to think myself quite bright but apparently not enough to know that my size meant I should avoid trouble.
When the koopas invaded the Mushroom Kingdom - a story we all know well - Bowser, once being a strong but just leader, was driven mad with power. He'd stay shut up in his castle, preoccupied with his new captive prize, while making all efforts possible to keep her from being rescued. He grew violent in his military tactis, and this was something I saw through my dad's work, as his designs came more and more to incorporate spikes, blades and other weaponry, almost to a sadistic end. It bothered my father, but he had little choice - he started to push me away from helping out at the shop, and after seeing a few dummy-plumbers minced up in his devices, I was eager to oblige.
Time wore on and the Mario Bros. grew closer to our home. King Bowser was so enraged by the two that he sent more troops out to destroy them. Although safe in Darkland, everyone was unsettled about the war, and started to question Bowser's decisions. Though we all kept quiet about it, the issue was becoming quite prominent - the King spent so much time and resource on fueling the army that he no longer cared for citizens or their economy in the same way. We koopas were living darker, unhappier lives in a darker, unhappier empire.
I spent my new free time out of my father's workshop on the wire - whatever networks there were. I had always loved learning about other lands and thought about travelling someday, as my mother had encouraged, but after seeing less and less of the outside world in the stead of Bowser's new wartime propaganda - well let's say I'd read enough about autocracy to try and keep free of it all. I tried my very hardest to keep up with news that was going on outside, and what I learned of how the rest of the world saw Darkland disgusted me. My home country was on the wrong side, and after seeing the carnage that the Mushrooms were facing I grew to very thoroughly hate the war. As injured and dead troopas piled back into the kingdom, passing by twice as many outgoing soldiers, Bowser pointed a claw at the Mario Bros. for the side of the war that the koopas did see - it only made me yet more sick, as this was a fraction of the deaths going on out there. I knew that the Mario Bros. had no choice, and that Bowser was forcing a lot of violence where nobody really wanted it.
I eventually cracked and stupidly decided to bring the issue to its source - I addressed Bowser directly to propose we retreat the troops and ally ourselves with the peaceful toads. Bowser, less of a king and more a beast at this point, was terribly infuriated with my words. My cuffs and collar - the mark of any koopa - were removed and I was exiled for treason, with Bowser claiming that I was loyal to Princess Peach and not him. Many fellow rebels stood up, and all were cut down and cast from the land of our birth into exile.
Left with nothing but a few supplies and the shell on my back, I set off. I knew right away that I wanted to live in the Mushroom Kingdom, and though it took a long time, I made it. By the time I had arrive at the edge of Toad Town, the war had been well and truly over, but I was still shunned and shut out by the locals. I was a koopa - no cuffs or collar, but with spikes and scales and a good 3 feet of height over any of them. It sucked, but I couldn't really blame them. I came to the castle and addressed the Princess, who agreed to let me settle on Yoshi's Island - technically a reserve within the Mushroom Kingdom's domain, where the yoshis may be cared for and protected without having to involve themselves in politics. The yoshis are accomodating and nondiscriminatory beings, and had no part in the war with Darkland - most are tribal, and have barely an inkling that it occurred. We grew to trust eachother, and I've even befriended one of the nearby tribes by my little shack.
Apart from being a Koopa, I'm your average 15 year-old. As part of wanting to see more of the world, I soon began looking into other worlds - those of fiction as well as alternate universes such as that which the Mario Brothers are from. I'm kind of a big fan of them and where they came from, and I've learned a lot about Earth culture through their games and television shows. While Super Mario Bros. is clearly one of my favourite franchises, I love a lot of the worlds I can encounter via cartridge or disc - games of all type really inspire me, and in seeing games I eventually found shows - science fiction being one of my favourite genres, I guess because of how fond I've grown of human culture. One day I'd love to go to Earth, though it seems pretty clear that I'm destined to sit on the sidelines on that one.

I was ok until... well, look into my journal

I'm pretty sure that's a universal copyright issue as well as just Chilean law specifically
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes. I woud have to ask Activision for permission, or I'll get my legal perdition.
By now, I am submiting it on Wattpad, chapter by chapter and once I complete it, gotta tell these guys...
And no, it isn't a cute Spyro story; it has lots of elements from horror.
I am planning an english version, which would be somewhat better after some changes due cultural reasons.

Hey Krazy! I just wanted to thank you for the fav on my pic of Ord. It has been quite a while since you last faved one of my pics so I really appreciate it.
You been doing alright?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hey sis! Yeah I've been alright, super busy and a little dead on the art side of things, but alright 
Glad you appreciate the fave, lol, it does brighten my day when I see you posting new stuff
π: 0 β©: 1
I figured you'd be busy working on commissions, but yeah that can apply too because I'm pretty dead on the art side as well.Β
Of course I do, I appreciate any art piece you fav of mines even if you don't always comment. It's a personal compliment similar to "good job there, mate!" C8Β Oh is that so? I didn't think you'd still care since I rarely post anything new now days and when I do it's usuallyΒ Bowser related. X..D But I'm sure you know he inspires me the most on here. x3Β
Nothing too new on my end though. Trying to get financially stable as well as progress career wise with my art in real life. It's a long time process but maybe with enough patience and hard work I'll get there. I certainly hope you succeed in your career goals to, girlfriend. ;w;
π: 0 β©: 1
I stopped commissions at the beginning of the year and unsurprisingly found it super easy to fill that time with a billion other things lol
Yeah sorry, I feel like if I don't have anything to say then it's kind of just hollow. I mean you still draw rad art, and I like Bowser just fine!
Aw shucks, thanks

How you doing? I am eager to get my certificate on the 27th. I did everything, completed my B.A degree, so I am officialy a translator now.
As you can see, I am happy.Besides, I would glady help you if you need something to be translated from spanish to english and vice versa.
π: 0 β©: 1
oh congrats!
yeah I'll keep it mind
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll be kind with you too. I need the money, but I would pretty much charge you with 10$ AUD. Can't go any cheaper than that
Why? My bank, Santander, takes a little chunk of it in commisions.
I am telling you this as a way to say I am your cheapest chance. Call it 'hooking price'.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll keep it in mind, man
Unsure how many games I'm gonna be able to get to not only a lease but localisation point in the future though
π: 0 β©: 1
When is about localization, I can use the International Standard Spanish FYI. So, if I keep slang away from the work, there won't be understanding issues between players from Chile, Colombia, Peru, etc.
However, I don't know exactly the aspects of their market but the chilean one; here RPG games and MMO's usualy become hits fairly easy.
In fact, the current most popular and wide spread game of all times is League of Legends

What do you think about puzzle games that have word puns in them?
π: 0 β©: 1
I think that would depend on the pun
π: 0 β©: 1
That's quite a headacke for translators, trust me.
π: 0 β©: 1
Good to know I would be your first option if you need a translator :3. I also know the Latin American market, in some countries though. You know, what works in Australia and in other english speaking countries may not work in Mexico, Peru or Chile. You know that, right?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah ofc, that's the point of localisation teams innit?
π: 0 β©: 2
I also can help you with ideas. In average, my country, when is about games, we love adventure games and rpg like Leage of Legends or Diablo III, it may be useful knowing that.
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah. And peers in my profession are part of those teams too

So, the ending to Super Mario Odyssey was revealed. it was actually really disappointing.ο»Ώ not because they didn't get married. Bowser ruined their moment for one thing. and Peach's rejection to Mario felt really painful actually. Mario does do everything in his power to keep her safe and this happens? but maybe things would have been fine if not for Bowser getting in the way. to be real, it kinda felt like an excuse to not have Mario get to marry Peach.
I don't care if Mario and Peach never get married. the ending i wanted wasΒ Mario and Peach going home happyΒ while Bowser was still knocked out,Β but no marriage. that would be the ending that we should have gotten, not this depressing let down.
π: 0 β©: 1
aight well I know the game had been leaked but I was trying to avoid spoilers... maybe a warning next time, huh? So I don't, like, get the whole thing ruined for me lol
I'm not shocked that it didn't happen, but based on what you've said I guess I hafta go look it up now...
I share your disappointment, man, but... love isn't a reward. I feel like when people say "Mario does XYZ for Peach and he gets nothing." it misses the point - she doesn't owe him anything, and they don't have to have a relationship. He hasn't earned that by saving her. I'll always ship 'em but if that's not how Nintendo wants it, I guess that's how it's gonna be.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh. wow. i wasn't thinking, i'm sorry.
Yeah, i'm not shocked either. what did shock me a little though was how much of a disappointment the ending was. it was a real slap in the face.
π: 0 β©: 1
I mean the game's not out for another 3 days so it's... kind of a big spoiler lol. Mught be worth developing a sense for those. I have a bad habit of spoiling stuff too dw.
I s'pose I'll look it up when I get home tonight to see what you mean.
π: 0 β©: 1
No, don't look it up. i don't wanna cause any more spoiling for you.
π: 0 β©: 1
well I mean the spoiling's done - I won't be getting the game for myself so the only way I'll see it in the near future is youtube
π: 0 β©: 1
I know, and i'm sorry. 
Wait. you're not getting the game?
π: 0 β©: 1
don't own a switch, bro
maybe when I've got a better income but rn I'm just starting at a new job, and there's more important things for me to pay for (like my car, and some damn dentist appointments)
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, well whenever you get the chance, you should get one. i'm gonna get one in right on the 27th. i better be getting the neon joycons though.
π: 0 β©: 1
haha fair enough - the red and blue ones? yeah I love them
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. me's gonna get the neon joycons for sure. even if i have to get them separately.
π: 0 β©: 0
I wonder what do you think about Duck Season, that creepy game?
π: 0 β©: 1
Haven't seen it, just had a look at the trailer and it seems alright - probably not something I'll get to play much of lol
π: 0 β©: 1
didn't watch gameplay?
π: 0 β©: 1
I mean, whatever gameplay existed in the trailer I saw
didn't really grab me, I've played VR horror before and this kinda just looks like a development and refinement based on the early experiments that exist - super cool that it's happening, but as someone who doesn't own a VR headset or play many horror games, it's not something I'm really hanging out for

Hello! ^^ I hope you've had a reallyΒ happy birthday today!
π: 0 β©: 1
