Description
So I decided to create and illustrate a dream collaboration of Nintendo and Square Enix in form of Japanese RPG, just like Kingdom Hearts did with Disney, while adding flairs from sprite animes such as Super Mario Bros. Z and Super Mario Bros. Heroes of the Stars.

In a similar fashion to Square Enix games, especially taking inspiration from Final Fantasy, Bravely Default and Octopath Traveler, I'm "working" and also "imagining" on a temporary title called Project Star of Valiance! (name also subjected to change as this is not a final title.) Maybe you can give me a better name?

You know, I always wanted to give illustrations to MC's main party, so there they are and here are the roles in the Toad Express crew!

The Toad Express Crew
================
MC as the leader of the crew, both appointed by Mario and Peach after Mario sees his potential in leadership! Wields a knightsword-gun hybrid.
Mario -- the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom -- and the first ally to be encountered and later joining MC's cause! Wields hammer, symbolizing his bravery!
Luigi -- Mario's brother -- sidekick -- who joins too! Mainly wields his Poltergust due to his cowardly nature.
Peach -- You can tell Peach will be the last member in the squad to join... feels like Mario and Luigi has been at many adventures without her, and she wants to join the fun too! Wields parasol not only for melee attacks, Peach can use it for healing and supportive spells!
Toad -- not your usual Toad, Toad is Mushroom Kingdom's Royal Mage; with offensive Magic, he is assigned to protect Peach at all costs!
Toadsworth, Peach's long-time steward and appointed as a chronicler on your journeys -- analyzing worlds explored and enemies encountered! (similar to Jiminy Cricket's role in Kingdom Hearts.)
Starlow -- A Star Sprite on assisting and guiding team on various quests, at any purposes!

Feels like I want to add more of this... more to come!
