Character Name: King Dedede Canon Name: Kirby Brief History: Dedede's the reigning king (or at least, self-proclaimed king) of Dream Land, only because he has castles and armies. He does no real administrative work. In Kirby's Dreamland, he was responsible for stealing ALL of Dream Land's food and the magical artifact, the Sparkling Star, that grows them. Kirby kicked his rear and took it back, cementing their rivalry. But despite pretty much intentionally spreading worldwide hunger in the most cartoonishly evil way possible, Dedede's always been more of a bully than a mastermind.
He's been possessed by real evil like Dark Matter several times, helping Kirby beat them usually after being freed. Back when Nightmare was about to revive, Dedede headed off to the Fountain of Dreams, the place good dreams are born, and scattered the Star Rod, giving them to his best soldiers with the final piece for himself. But because he can't pass the opportunity to do something ridiculously jerkish, he bathed in the fountain for kicks.
So Dedede's an outrageous bully who picks fights and pushes people around, but he has lines that he just refuses to cross. Lines that evil entities and aspiring evil entities in the Kirby world have no problem hopping around. He's Kirby's biggest rival and Dream Land's resident anti-villain, willing to actually step up and fight when things get bad enough.
AU Ideas: Dedede's a Piplup Shifter. Though normally an already proud species of Pokemon, his pride was abnormally high, enough to rival the strongest Empoleon. It lead to him to being ostracized by his kind at an early age. Eventually, the Piplup began taking notice of human society and its incredible growth. It didn't feel as big as it used to and he developed a burning need to be greater. His wish was answered by the sheer volume of it and the Piplup gained human form.
In a place like Union where opportunity is open, he worked his way up under the alias of "King Dedede (King being his first name)", eventually reaching the position of a city administrator (or a high ranking Guard). He isn't particularly bright and received low marks on tests, but sheer tenacity and time got him where he wanted.
Dedede's main goal is to see that wall go up higher and fast, even at the expense of food, education, the arts... anything "unnecessary" (even though he enjoys his share of food and theater more than the average person). What I want is for Dedede to clash with people's interests in favor of his own military-focused expansion. More than anything else, Dedede's trying to make a name for himself, though in truth? He honestly doesn't comprehend that his personal actions will make lots of people unhappy. He'll keep going as long as he thinks he's in the right and the guy's only starting to learn what it means to live with each other. Piplups are lonely creatures because they're so full of themselves.
Looking For: People to regularly clash with! Dedede will be something of a one(?)-man fun police. Vigilantes won't go forgiven!
Maybe a particular rival like Kirby (or heck, Kirby) and a right-hand guy (like Meta Knight, who follows the guy for his personal interests... or hell, Meta Knight). This is probably asking way too much, but if an Escargon ever apped in, I just. I'd be at a loss for words.
