Hello traveler the information contained within this topic will help you on the journey.
Pretty much I plan on starting a cyoa called "Mario and the Golden Goddess" soon (maybe) I just need to come up with a battle system that doesn't bog down the action to much. Is this cyoa going to be serouis? A little but for the most part its really light hearted. Can people die and never come back? No they just faint and can be revived by a very common item in the Mario Games.
I plan on using this space for characters, item, ideas, or questions.
So next couple of posts are characters I intend to have and pretty much an idea on where I want to take this. So grab your favorite shroom shake, pull up a chair and make your self comfy here at the mushroom house

Yes it involves Anna and Robin (basically he's the guide of the group and he appears to be a robin) think of there involvement being like the one in Super Paper Mario . Anna and Robin (aka Male made unit) fall in love but one of the Annas is set to tear them apart.So one day Robin is lead somewhere by one of the Annas and is seriously wounded and is left for dead. Anna the goddess of gold goes crazy thinking he left her and that just a small sample of what I have.
Basically like how count Bleck and that butterfly pixy were but the roles reversed. During the time between chapters I will excerpts from Anna's diary.
Bowser is the main villain but that doesn't mean he is the one responsible for everything. There is a "puppet master" behind it all. The kooplings and Bowser Jr are involved and you will have to battle most of them. Whether if its a boss battle, mid-boss or something along those lines.
The main characters that the readers use are: Mario, Luigi, Wario, Yoshi, Peach, Daisy, and Rosaline. They will meet up fairly early in the cyoa but that's all you get no temp characters. All characters have a melee weapon associated to them and one elemental "magic" attack. You don't have to buy equipment there weapons increase over time by using AP and so does there magic in the same way. When I do get started I will list the characters w/ a brief description of them, their weapons, and element they are associated with in The Mushroom House.
There will be giant battles in this cyoa. The players will have brobot as there giant counterpart and Brobt doesn't have exp himself but all the characters will get exp and ap. Brobot has own HP associated with him.
Also support conversations so if you want Mario and Daisy S rank then go for it. If you want Wario and Rosaline to S rank then go right for it. These conversations will happen before the end of the chapter and after the last boss of the chapter. The characters can only have one S rank but A rank w/ everyone. Yoshi (here he will be known as "The Great Gonzalez jr") can only get to A rank with any of the characters
The battle system is turned based and up to 3 or 4 can participate and everyone gets star points not just Mario. Obviously, I am not writing a scene for every Gomba we come across because then the story would never advance. The battle scenes and decisions would come when the characters come across an important battle.
The question I have is how can I write battle scene for a turn based w/o dragging it out and grinding those battles to a halt? If anyone can help me with that it would be extremely helpful.

Characters part 1(Main Heros)
Mario: Weapon:Hammer
The hero of the story. Time after time he has overcome trials but before him usually by his longtime rival (seldom partner) Bowser. He thinks this is just another plot by Bowser but he is unprepared for the power that is about to be unleashed.
Luigi: Weapon:Vacuum
Mario's brother better known to us but unfortunately for him lesser known by others especially when traveling with Mario. He has been known to travel to haunted locations (rather reluctantly) to handle any supernatural forces. Despite his tendency to be scared of everything he sees he is one of Mario's most reliable partners.
Peach: Weapon:Parcel.
The princess of the mushroom kingdom. Usually when Mario had to go on a journey it was to rescue her from Bowser. There have been times when the two would team up ocassionlly team up to take on evil forces including one time Bowser. Early in the story her castle is attacked by Bowser but not for her but for what she holds in her possession. An ancient artifact passed through the mushroom kingdom royalty with connections to a goddess of old.
Wario: Weapon:Gloves
Once he was Mario's bitter enemy. When he was kicked out of Mario's castle he began a journey to collect enough riches to eventually get his own. After years of successful exploring the world as an explorer he eventually had a career change. Now he develops games with his 'colorful' team of workers. Until one day when Mario shows up and asks for his skill he thought was lost a long time ago.
Yoshi (aka The Great Gonzalez Jr.): Weapon: Shoes (jumping)
Once he was a baby that was hatched by Mario in a fighting arena. He would eventually go with Mario to help stop the reserection of the Shadow Queen. Afterwards he would stay behind and become a well known champion until one day while visiting the mushroom kingdom he runs into Mario and once again they team up to stop the resurrection of an ancient goddess.
Daisy: Weapon:Golf Club
The princess of a far away land that Mario rescued from an alien invader. Lately she has been connected to Luigi as a possible couple but those rumors have never been confirmed or denied. One day she was visiting her friend Peach for some time to kick back and relax until Bowser attacked the castle and things got weird from there.
Rosaline: Weapon:Rod
The guardian of space who travels the galaxy on her spaceship along with the lummas (star like creatures) that constantly refer to her as mother. She is a guardian who is unable to interfere in the events of those she observes. Despite the attack by Bowser on her spaceship stealing the power stars the first time around, and the second time he actually used the power of the stars to grow to a huge size. Rosaline had to rely on Mario for help. This all changed one day when she learned from the stars of Bowser's recent plan. Fearing the danger Mario would be in she decided to join him on his journey under the gise of Rosa hoping to stop the unleashing of this ancient goddess.

Characters part 2 (villains and important story characters)
Bowser: The main villain of most Mario games. He has tried on numerous attempts to kidnap Peach just to have his attempts foiled by Mario. He has tried various methods, legendary artifacts, and magical items and all of them have failed. There have been very rare occasion when Mario and Bowser have been known to team up to take on a greater evil. One day while going through his study looking for a way to defeat mario. He finds a book about a goddess who has the power to grant wishes if all goleren artifacts are found and brought to her alter.
Kooplings: Bowser's mischievous children. They have been known to cause various misdeeds on behalf of their father. So when an ancient map is found in an ancient book he sends his kids to go find them. What role they play remains to be seen.
Bowser Jr.: Another child of Bowser. He along with the kooplings were sent by Bowser to retrieve the golden artifacts and too impede Mario and friends.
King Boo: The king of the boos and the master of illusion. He was able to capture Mario twice. Only to be foiled by Luigi and his poltergeist. He has somehow escaped his capture from the Boo containment field and is looking for revenge against Luigi. He is also known as a collector of 'paintings' and plans to capture Luigi once and for all.
Anna: The legendary goddess that is well known throughout the land (especially throughout this board). Many have felt her wrath (R.I.P Lane) but she is also known for her many blessings. She is known for her love of gold. There are stories that Anna was actually a nice goddess and was revered throughout the land. When her second love of her life went missing she went crazy. Her powers are sealed within 9 golden artifacts and when they are gathered at a shrine of hers she can be summoned.
Robin: A youth that fell in love with Anna. Even though he will never be able to overcome her first love (gold). He is comfortable being second place in her heart. One day Robin was lead by one of Anna's sister only to be severely wounded and left for dead. He did survive the assault and countine his search for his lost love. One day he got lost when he collapsed in front of Merlin's house. Merlin was unable to revive him. So Merlin in a desperact act had to transfer his spirit to that of a Robin. When he encounters Mario and friends he follows them as a guide but secretrly he hopes Mario can reunite him and Anna once and for all.
????: Little is known about this person. According to rumors ???? is responsible for Robin disappearing and Anna going crazy. ???? Is the puppet master behind all of this and when the time is right their secrets will be revealed. Apparently Anna knows this person and is close to them.

Eh.... So FE:A and Mario crossover? That's... Interesting. If a little mind blowing. Kudos to you if you can pull it off. I'll try my best to find time to participate. Also, as for your battle system question, I really don't have a clue. Sorry. Edit: I will laugh if ???? Is actually a big, black dragon named Grim. Or maybe the Lord of Goats? Just don't try to steal my Idoun.  |

As for Anna and Robin they are my version of Count Bleck and the butterfly pixy. Not a lot of FE: Awaking just those two names ( the reason its Robin b/c he is the only male to S rank Anna) but no chrom, Shepard's or grima (maybe grima). The support conversation are probably the only other thing I am bringing over.
As far as one of the artifacts is one of them a golden goat? Darn right one of them is a golden goat

Also i plan to have cameos in this cyoa some are just merely implied and some are actually heavily involved. Just as a teaser I will have some characters from other cyoa in this cyoa.  If you want to know you will have to read. (Don't worry I already got permission from the original arthours b/c I wanted to be curtious to them.). Also Anna, Robin and a certain other person from Fire Emblem seris is involved in this cyoa but to give it away now would ruin the fun.  PS. My profile did say I break the fourth wall one pipe bomb a time.  |

Part 3a other important characters.
Ninja Koopas: The koopas in a half shell make a return. Ever since there first encounter with Mario they actually had a change of heart and turned good. Along with there new master 'Master Mouser' (the rat guy from SMB.2 who was a boss who threw bombs) they fight the evil 'Chopper' and make sure to keep Ms. 'May O'Koopa' safe from harm. However, when an old 'friend' makes a phone call to them offering the one thing they wanted. Revenge against Mario they turn back to there old ways. Ths time they have something special planned for him.
Captain Syrup: She was once one of the most feared pirate captains known throughout the land. Until after her first encounter with Wario led to him stealing her treasure. After what Wario did she planned her revenge on Wario and to steal back her treasure. Unfortunate, for her Wario prevailed again. After those set backs she went into hiding waiting for the perfect time for revenge.
Lord of the Goat's: (it's not FE: SS Final Boss) Once he was just a normal goat until he came across a certain artifact. On that day he transformed into a goat of great power. Now his goal is to protect this artifact from being misused and to protect his fellow goat bretheren.
Grubba Tubba: The former boss of the Glitz Pit. When Mario uncovered the corrupt of the Glitz Pit he went into hiding. Everyone thought he was gone for good but some how he made an appearance again. Even stranger he isn't out for revenge against Mario but he does have giant plans for his former business. Some people think that a certain koopling which recently made an appearance might be behind Grubba's sudden reappearance. Also another question what happened to prince mush and his sister?
Huff N' Puff: He was responsible for the mess that happened in the gardens of Toad Town. That was until Mario and one of his former lackies were able to defeat him. Things were pleasant until Bowser found a way to revive him. With his new found life he has vowed to destroy the gardens and Mario once and for all.

Okay the official Mario and the Golden Goddess postes are going up today. I will post til the first seection becomes available.
The battles I finally decided will be like they are in FE:A with exceptions.
Melee weapons don't increase through repeated use. They can gbe boughtv at stores and there is no min. level before you can obtained one. Each character does have ultimate weapon you can find by doing certain sidequests. There will be secert bosses you will have to fight before you can obtaine them. The bosses will be from either the mario ot fire emblem seris.
Magic can either be learned through leveling up or by finding certain gems (think of them as materia) hidden throughout the game. With magic depending on the character they have a set number of skills (Rosaline has the most slots, Wario has the least amount of slots). Like the weapons quests will be available for unlocking there ultimate skills.
So anyway the official post starts pretty soon.

Maybe I know i made a list of most bosses but that doesn't mean some of those bosses are not replaceable. Ceartin bosses for example are untouchable such as, King Boo, Ninja Koopas, etc. But there are a couple or some I would consider except for the goat guardian I have plans for him.

Part 5 Jobs
The classes are just an overview of what the character is capable of. Peach will be listed as a cleric for example, but that doesn't mean she's limited to only healing magics. Peach still has a melee weapon and she will gain attack spells. Think of this as the job system in the dragon quest/ warrior series but the character is locked into the class.
Mario: Hero
He has a well balanced mix of attacking, magic, and defense
Luigi: Monk
He is good at banishing spirits and decent attack, his magic is a little more limited then Mario's.
Wario: Warrior
When it comes to attacking few can go toe to toe, just don't expect any magic except for the few status affects and maybe a couple of attacks. He can take a beating though.
Rosaline: Mage
She is all about unleashing powerful spells on her enemies. She is kind of fragile so she can't take much of a beating. Her melee weapon might start weak but given enough time her weapon can become quite powerful.
Peach: Cleric
Her melee weapon is among the weakest and she doesn't have as much attacking spells as Rosaline. Yet when the party, needs buffers or healing there is nobody better. She is more durable then Rosaline though.
Daisy: Red Mage
Her magic is a mix bag of attack, defense, and healing. Her attack is better then Peach's. She is your typical jack of all trades master of none. But she can come through in a pinch when you need her.
Yoshi: Fighter
Like a speedier Wario. His attacks are among one of the better status. He also hard unique magic which allows him to either entrap his opponent in an egg or shoot the enemy at another. He is a little fragile vthough.

If you want to know you will have to read. (Don't worry I already got permission from the original arthours b/c I wanted to be curtious to them.). Also Anna, Robin and a certain other person from Fire Emblem seris is involved in this cyoa but to give it away now would ruin the fun.
