Is there gonna be a point where his hemomancy shenanigans kill Mario?

This should be the last partner in my roster, but these all got such a good reception I might find an excuse to draw more! And hopefully some additional pics of them doing stuff™ But without further ado, this is Cassius! Another "optional partner" focused on toying with the enemy and a high-risk high-reward playstyle. I wanted to make him edgy on purpose, and since I'm not rated E for Everyone, I'm allowed to make him a hemomancer. 🩸 Just adds to the tonal distinction between him and the others. Plus, who doesn't love Vivian and the Shadow Sirens? I figured having a partner of my own in that same rare species would be fun. ✌️ He uses HP to cast his spells, since he's casting the blood right out of poor Mario (ouch!) I'm no game dev, but I imagine his skills going pretty nutty mode with things like Peril/Danger Mario lol

Also please have this shitty meme I made while working on him. I don't know whether Vivian would hate him or if they'd share a blahaj.

Where's Fake Peppino?

Peppino(Pizza cadres)

At any rate, I've decided on the basics of Peppino, so I'll put them up.

He is a freelance framer,

He usually creates a space about the size of a small room on request, knocks down shadows, and also does restoration work.

Peppino's Weird Masks

For some reason, Peppino's masks have very different properties from the others.

First, without the mask, you cannot even touch the shadow. The shadow attacks unilaterally.

And the shadow, which is the embodiment of an ugly personality, follows me everywhere.

...It should be that way, but Peppino touches the shadow with his bare hands as if it were natural without the mask, and for some reason his shadow does not appear.

Naturally he's creeped out about it.

A Brief Prologue

One day, Peppino wandered into a world of distorted picture frames, which had been twisted into a mess by the whim of Faceless.

Faceless took away the frames that Peppino needed to return home, and he told him, "If you want to go home, you'll have to restore all the frames I destroyed."

The rest of the journey is like the main story of pizzatower, running through various stages and repairing them little by little.

Gimmicks

I agree he's a cutie

I don’t know if I’m the only one who thinks this but why is Paper Mario so adorable?

He’s just a little guyyyyyy!

Hello there

Feppino: (OK, dad...)

(I think I just thought up an au idea about Pizzahead. It's literally the mirror maze au of the noise from @rookie-valkyrie16, but with Pizzahead/Totino and the Pizano Men (old PT lore) he's stuck in there cus the Pizano Men are much worse than him (their the reason why he's (and Fake Peppino's) the way he is, and are possibly not originally gonna use Pizzahead for an evil polt for their master once he's no longer useful) and he, uh, he did leave (unlike noise) but he's not the same anymore. His route would've been like Magalors from that one Kirby DLC and a few others. I think I also made Pizzahead a (headcanon) backstory for him, Cesar, and the REAL Bruno (and I guess the topin monsters)

(About Stower and Mirror Maze, do you think they could be friends?)

(Also, what's the plot of your heart surgery au?)
