Headcanon dump - Ludwig

Age - 23

MBTI - ENTJ-T

His birthday is on december 16th

He most likely has Autism Spectrum Disorder - struggles to get along with others, has a few interests he's incredibly good in. His angry outbursts are actually meltdowns

He stims by walking around in circles, talking to himself, having that one song on repeat. Very subtle, but noticeable to people who are neurodivergent or live around autistics

He is sensory sensitive, which makes him extremely picky about how he's working, what he eats, and the texture of his clothing, which makes him really good at spotting counterfeit.

His special interests are art history, his piano, and magic history

He's the most powerful koopaling, whose magic proficiency challenges Kamek himself

Because of that, his weapon of choice is usually just his wand, however he does have a rapier and other "support", you can't just disarm him by stealing his wand

He doesn't have a speciality, if you'd ask him he'd tell you he's better at the history of magic than magic itself, just like any autistic person trying to convince you that they're not amazing at their special interest

The reason Koopalings have mixed feelings about calling Ludwig the clan leader are his social shortcomings. They worry that he may slip up on this, or that, and stain the reputation of the whole clan. Thankfully, as they grow, they realise that he needs them regardless, just as much as they need him. Both sides can ensure the other thrives.

His fashion sense is classic romantic goth, always wearing his fancy military coat and probably being the only Koopaling who wears the royal badge correctly

Speaking of his coat, he is a half parakoopa, hiding his wings behind it. The reason he reassigned himself from Pipeland to Skyland is the need to perfect his flying, or maybe something else (oc x canon warning lol)

His absolutely favorite season is winter, sitting at home to do his things, able to layer. Though the amount of holidays is kind of overwhelming, so maybe fall..

he's shorter than Roy, Morton and Iggy because of inheriting the parakoopa genes. Parakoopas are naturally smaller and more agile to use their wings the best as they can

He loves coffee, probably it's his only only safe food he can have in any way

He can't stand modern technology. If there's something that can be done manually, he'll use a typewriter, one of the tons of books he has, his room could easily pass for the 19th century reconstruction if we exclude the modern books. If he can't do it his way he either uses magic or asks Iggy if all the options involve it in some way.

Why does he hate it if his childhood self looved tinkering? Easy, 'Kooky' also hated modern technology and wanted to make his own

He's surprisingly the closest to Larry, a polar opposite to him. They mirror the need for approval, the youngest koopaling struggling to get any due to lack of skill, while the oldest struggles to take breaks in fear of becoming weak. Being around each other helps them find the healthy balance.

Considering he's a clan leader of the assassin group directly under Bowser and a renowned pianist, he is a workaholic, balancing his passions with his profession which often overwhelms him.

He can't stand physical touch, ESPECIALLY WITH HIS HAIR. This is the reason Kooky's hair was so messy, he would get a meltdown each time Bowser tried to detangle it. He may have few people he trusts like Larry or Roy, but it's an exception from the rule.

He's like a parental figure to the koopaling clan, though sometimes he may act more childish than them, which causes a ton of "I told you so"'s

He's the first koopaling to openly state his surname, Von. Koopas usually say their names in " name - surname - koopa" order, but other koopalings felt it was too obnoxious or were worried that by having the same surname as Bowser they'd get in trouble. Another I told you so, they were his nephews all along.

Hey, he's the inventor of the Koopalings! he could like get cool mechanical pinkies!

spoiler: those Human's music pieces are often adapted for Koopas. Lud's just... bad. -cit. Roy

spoiler spoiler: I don't know anything abt pianos, I just suppose some pieces could be played with less fingers (?) I just wanted to do this after seeing so many impossible pieces on pianos online and ended up with this meme with my friends

Also, I really wanted to draw over this template-

Headcanon dump - Lemmy

Age: 21

He's the second oldest, but has a permament baby face

He can actually get his eyes to look "normal", but if you see him with a perfectly normal stare, you're pretty much dead

His favourite way to mess with people is to pick up things with his longer tail, being one of few koopas agile enough to treat their tail like a bonus limb

Larry often complains about Lemmy not wearing his royal badge - however he is wearing it as a detailed kandi bracelet. it even glows in the dark!

His specialization are illusions, tricks, mind games of all flavors, from playful to sinister. He can make them out of fire, ice, air - whatever fits the aesthetic!

his weapon of choice is anything small and fast, just like him. throwing knives, shurikens..oh, and explosives for the shock effect!

People may be scared of Ludwig, but he's the real koopaling you should watch out for - at least Ludwig isn't manipulative and stirring the pot for the fun of it!

He's extremely agile, to the point that he used to move around on a ball as a child (smb3 reference), treating normal walking as too boring

his birthday is on December 24th, but he celebrates it at a different time - not wanting to throw a rave during christmas

Speaking of raves, his sense of fashion resembles a scene kid with clowncore elements. Belts layered with belts, beaded bracelets, primary palette or a whole rainbow, or sometimes monochrome in a funky way. He wants to always grab your attention, regardless if it's positive or negative.

He and Iggy are joined by the hip (not literally). Despite not being exactly twins, the chaos brings them immense joy so they naturally stick together.

Lemmy is like a protector of Iggy, sometimes may get overly attatched. It developed naturally, even before Iggy got a proper autism diagnosis.

Lemmy is an empath, and is happy to exploit it. If he finds there's anything going on he'll do everything to figure out what's going on, often catching on the signs even before the person he's checking on

Lemmy's alignment is chaotic neutral

Many people complain to Ludwig about Lemmy slacking off - but, unlike Larry, his actions are deliberate, and he always reports on intel or other valuable stuff to him

arguably, Lemmy has the most autonomy within the koopaling clan - he's mature and powerful enough to venture out of Ludwig's instructions, with mutual trust that Lemmy will still do the job in his unconventional way

He often crawls onto his taller siblings during missions

His favorite food is chocolate

He loves poker, and loves cheating in poker even more. He actually got the clan in trouble a few times because he kept winning a little too much

His favorite missions are about gathering intel - so much so he does it outside of his job, usually at the expense of the koopalings

He wears a mohawk with a rat tail that he keeps growing out, so he has an excuse that he "haven't damaged ALL of his hair

his MBTI is ENTP-A

Everyone keeps calling him a carrot, a pineapple, a leek.

FOOLS.

his hair is a ✨NUCLEAR BOMB✨ and certainly not a pineapple!/lh

Iggy just can't win

Koopa Radio AU - general information

Darklands used to be a faction of the Mushroom Kingdom region, back when Mushroom Kingdom was called Mushroomland, or Toadstooland if we want to be specific, along with Grassland, Desertland, Waterland, Giantland, Skyland, Iceland and Pipeland. However, one day the Darkland had gained autonomy (got estranged), setting up the most dangerous castle for koopas to occupy safely.

However, this doesn't mean that they can't live in the other parts of the region, just that the Darklands are the only best option. Despite their mixed reputation, they generally lived in peace. King Bowser Von Koopa wasn't buying that generous offer however, and decided to try to convince Princess Peach Toadstool to maybe not treat his castle and his kind as some sort of dangerous monsters.

He thought that it worked. Not just that - he thought that he was developing something more with the Toadstool princess, her working day and night to ensure the safety of the region, her kind heart, her sweet smile, it was all getting to him. And it seems to have gotten into her too.

However, a tragedy struck. Princess Peach got pregnant from their seemingly blooming relationship, and suddenly had cut ties. It was all a SHAM. She rejected him, disowned their child, and doubled down on the racist "safety measures", all of his hard work to initially soften down the tension, perhaps even develop something new and pure, free of prejudices, in ruin.

The two sides are now at odds with each other, stuck in a broken loop of King Bowser seeing how fake she was, getting heartbroken and angry, getting reckless, and Princess Peach using it as an excuse to label his kind as nothing more than monsters, intensifying "safety measures", breaking Bowser's heart again and angering him. Over. And over.

In amidst of such tensions, Bowser's beloved brother and scientist Mortimer Von Koopa Sr., or "Bruce", had disappeared, pronounced dead but it never quite clicked right for the King, already wary of his once-life partner.

Mortimer's children had been scattered amongst different foster care systems. Bowser didn't even knew he was an uncle, reasonably so - Bruce was aware of the tensions, so he ensured that his family was as private as possible. However, his magic proficiency and genius got inherited by them which had help Bowser uncover their identities, one by one.

First one was a young prodigy, whose mere presence made Bruce's wand react in the old magic store. A VERY talkative boy with unruly prussian blue hair and a misplaced fang that he was mocked for, unaware that his magic was so powerful to cause it

The next two were a pair of hooligans, causing a level 5 avalanche merely by goofing around in Pipeland. The accident had hurt the younger one, making him develop aphasia, however the duo got even closer. Their strength, both in magic and friendship knows no bounds, even if they may not know how to use it correctly.

The next one was actually a girl. By accident she had frozen the entire capital of Waterland, just wanting to create an ice mirror. She was rude and cold, tired of being overlooked, ensuring that her fashion and confidence stands out. Even she had no idea how much she was underestimating herself.

The next boy was known for being the "aggressive" one. He got discovered during a meltdown, that had burnt a quarter of Grassland forests..in the whole country.

His best friend had begged to join to ensure he's safe, and reluctantly the group had agreed, despite the mild annoyance of a civilian in the castle, the tall green haired boy felt his best with him present. The mere fact that in all of the castle safety measures, the short and might kid managed to sneak by without any magic, purely relying on wit and agility, made him count as a valuable asset. He had proven himself to stay, truly shining amongst others.

The last one had it the worst. He got sent all the way back to the now Mushroom Kingdom back when he was a toddler. To him that was his normal, and until King Bowser had discovered him, he was convinced he was just some sort of weird Yoshi that could talk. He accidentally had stopped time in his school, tapping to the rhythm of his phone radio, unaware he had any magic. In the new environment, he's striving to become more and more like who he truly is - a koopa, and a powerful one. He could work on his work ethic a little, though..

All seven of them had formed a clan, initially by the two hooligans and the bluehead. Initially, Roy was the one leading the group, but with age and puberty, the small yapper had matured into being a doer. Ludwig still has an "I'm better than you" attitude, but at least it's well deserved now..

In spite of the pains Bowser had witnessed and participated in, his newfound family is stronger than ever. His biggest fear was forcing Bowser Jr. to be raised alone, without a "mom", and it have had been answered in the form of the Koopaling clan, which he can't get thankful enough for. He loves all of his children, treating all eight of them as a blessing
