CharacterName: Bowser Koopa
Age: Unknown, though Bowser is an adult
Gender: Male
Canon: Super Mario
Canon Point: A short time after Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.
History:https://www.mariowiki.com/Bowser#HistoryDue to the difficulty of discerning a timeline of Super Mario Canon, it is assumed that the following things have happened as of his Canon Point:
- All Mario & Luigi Games leading up to and including Dream Team.
- All Paper Mario Games up to and including Super Paper Mario
- Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
- Any other event or game implied to have occurred prior to the events of these games
The following things are assumed to not have occurred, at least, not as of Bowser’s canon point
- Any Mario & Luigi game after Dream Team
- Any Paper Mario game after Super Paper Mario, as they are interpreted to be the games depicting the storybook world of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. The rest, however, seem to have closer ties to the “real” version of the Super Mario world
- The Super Smash Bros series or any other crossover involving Bowser.
- Any Mario Kart or Mario sporting game spin-off
- Any event or game otherwise implied to be set after Bowser’s canon point, or otherwise is implied to have not happened to this incarnation of Bowser
Personality: Bowser Koopa is your stereotypical dragon who captured the princess who you face at the last castle. He is the king of an alliance known as the Koopa Clan. His primary goal is to take over the Mushroom Kingdom; marry Princess Peach, who rules it; and destroy Mario, as he typically foils any plan of Bowser’s to accomplish the first two goals.
First and foremost, Bowser is a villian. He’s selfish, impatient, irritable, and stubborn. Almost any action he takes is based on selfishness, and even moral actions are based on ulterior motive. He typically won’t help anyone unless they first tell Bowser what’s in it for him. Bowser has, among other things, repeatedly kidnapped Princess Peach to attempt force a marriage between them, tried to destroy the universe to create his own galaxy, repeatedly invaded and conquered the Mushroom Kingdom, and stolen or attempted to steal many powerful artifacts. Bowser makes no effort to hide this about himself. He is open about his villainy under normal circumstances, even directly referring to his actions and self as evil.
Bowser is brave and proud, and quite aggressive. He’s boastful, and one might say Bowser has a big ego. His military’s emblem is his face, which he also decorates his airships and some of his castles with. He refers to himself as “the king of awesome,” during at least one point. He believes serving him is an honor, and that for him to call someone his minion is a form of respect. Furthermore, he believes much of what he does is his right alone.
Bowser believes he, and only he, may capture Princess Peach. It may be due to harbouring romantic feelings for her, or perhaps he believes it to be a malicious act he has claimed and owns somehow. He behaves similarly if anyone tries to conquer or destroy the Mushroom Kingdom (or the world) simply because it denies him the power to do so himself. This can cause Bowser to make enemies of other villains and ally with even those who would otherwise be his worst enemies.
Still, Bowser has the potential to do good. Bowser cares for the safety of the world, though he justifies it as an act motivated by ulterior motive, considering if the world is gone, he can’t take it. However, he at one point has made a self-sacrificial move in order to protect the world, making it doubtful that his reasons for protecting the world are solely self-centered.
This is possibly because he cares about many of those who reside within it. Peach, his son Bowser Jr., even his minions are all very important to Bowser, though he may not admit it. He desires a marriage with Peach, noting in a diary entry that he wants her affection, acting as an affectionate husband after a marriage between the two under questionable circumstances, and spending time, energy, and resources planning a forced wedding between them. He also wants to be a good father to his son. Even Bowser’s feelings on Mario, his supposedly despised arch-enemy, may be less hostile then he’d care to say, even casually greeting Mario in what are among his lowest points, desperate for allies and not knowing what say, though he “corrects” by acting more aggressive following that point.
As said, Bowser sees it as a form of respect to call someone his minion. He has high expectations for those who serve under him, but is forgiving to his subjects who fail or betray him. Furthermore, he believes himself to be above menial tasks.
Bowser can at times appear oblivious or immature. However, despite his childish behavior, he has some experience raising a child (though just how many children he has had is unclear, as originally he was believed to have 7, until these 7 children were retconned to not actually be his, leaving the situation full of mystery). Bowser truly cares for this child, but does spoil him, giving such things as an airship and a
Junior Clown CarSix Traits
Selfishness - Bowser is willing to do anything to get what he wants, which is, simply put, to conquer all. Few crimes are beyond how far he’s willing to go. If he helps others, it will be based mostly on ulterior motive, and similarly he doesn’t help anyone unless he’ll get something in return
Irritability - Bowser is very easy to anger. At its worst, the Koopa king’s irritability can cause him to drop any plan he had and attack if he sees someone he dislikes, or even use an attack one one of his own allies.
Pride - Bowser is a proud Koopa, and highly values his reputation. To some extent he is ashamed of emotional vulnerability of any sort, and he does not like to ask for help. Still, Bowser’s pride and high thoughts of himself are shown through him decorating his castles, airships, and banners with his face.
Stubbornness - Though it may seem negative from the single word used to describe it, and despite Bowser’s selfish use of it, his stubbornness is an admirable quality. Bowser has, due to his plans, experienced pain most would perish from long before they got the chance to feel it, yet kept making and carrying out similar plans. This is a testament to his resilience, which is mostly physical but also evidently a part of who Bowser is.
Leadership - Bowser is a king, and is able to attain the respect of his armies. Furthermore, he is seemingly able to inspire them to some degree. Though he may believe himself to be above certain work, he is not unwilling to handle matters himself, though these matters are typically related to combat. Bowser has also been shown to at times make good and well-thought out plans.
Ambition - Last of all, Bowser is ambitious character, constantly carrying out ambitious plans, which in his own world typically involve capturing the Princess; conquering the Mushroom Kingdom, the world, or the universe; and defeating Mario. However, those to not contain the entirety his motivations, despite driving many of his actions.
