Line 28:
Giancarlo Rosato (pronounced /dʒaŋˈkar.lo roˈza.to/) is a [[Digimon|flamedramon]] who immigrated to [[The United States]] from [[Italy]] with his family when he was 10 years old. He has a slightly older fraternal twin brother, Santino. His family usually calls him Giancarlo, but [[Only Known by Their Nickname|he prefers everyone else to call him]] "Gian" /ˈdʒɑn/.
At 14, Gian had his first romantic relationship with his best friend Nathan, an [[Australia (
As young adults, Giancarlo and Santino attended [[California University|Aubrey State University]], where Gian is an art major. In their sophomore year, the twins were assigned separate but close dorm rooms, while Gian was assigned a roommate, Bowser Koopa, Junior. The [[Title Drop|roommates]] first met not in their room, but in the locker room of the track team of which they were both members. Junior openly flirted with Gian, and a sequence of events saw the two having sex for the first time only ''four hours'' later. But they soon [[Shallow Love Interest|fell in love]], and [[Character Development|grew]] to become a close and happy couple.
Line 50:
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: When he met Junior, they had sex first, and their love gradually blossomed over time.

[[Super Mario Bros.|Bowser Koopa, Senior]] is the patriarch of the Koopa family and head of [[Fiction 500|Koopa Suites]], a hotel business he inherited from his estranged father Rufus. With his [[Posthumous Character|late]] wife [[Super Mario Bros.|Peach]], Bowser had eight children -- Ludwig, Lemmy, Roy, Iggy, Wendy, Morton, Larry and his [[Identical Son|spitting image]] Bowser Jr. But Peach died when Bowser Jr. was still little, and Bowser has had to do his best to raise the Koopalings as a single father while still running a business that has since grown into an international conglomerate. He's a good businessman, and tries to look after his children's needs and happiness, but [[When You Coming Home, Dad?|he's not usually at home with them]] as often as he'd like to be.
Line 186:
* [[Adult Child]]: Specifically noted. He teases his sons and Wendy as casually as if he were their biggest brother.
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parent]]: It doesn't get much worse than Bowser describing details from his ''honeymoon'' at the family dinner table ''in front of all his children'', while doing ''pelvic thrusts'' against the table. He seems to have graduated from [[Adult Child]] to [[Up to Eleven|something else entirely]]. And all of this answering the relatively innocent question of how Ludwig got his name. <ref>The simple and uncomplicated answer was that Bowser and Peach had [[Ludwig Van Beethoven]] music playing during their honeymoon when Ludwig von Koopa was conceived. Bowser [[Large Ham|hammed it up]].</ref>
* [[Badass Decay]]: Intentional. This [[Alternate Universe Fic]]'s Bowser is a pretty [[Nice Guy]], has a perfectly capable indoor voice, and tries never to show rage in front of his children. [[Took a Level

* [[Big No]]: Upon being told that his father was coming to visit.

=== Ludwig ===
▲[[File:roommates_2009_ludwig_7220.png|frame]]
Ludwig von Koopa is the eldest child and son of [[Super Mario Bros.|Bowser Koopa]]. He helps his father run [[Fiction 500|Koopa Suites]]. He loves Bowser as his father, and Peach as his mother, but is [[Black Sheep|extremely distant]] from all of his younger siblings. When Ludwig does acknowledge them, it is usually with [[Smug Snake|great coldness]] sprinkled with [[Creepy Monotone|monotone]] disdain and abusive remarks. The rest of the time, Ludwig [[Workaholic|buries himself in work]], never making room in his schedule for the family unless Bowser wants him to. And being the Koopaling furthest apart in age from Junior, the two brothers' relationship is practically nonexistent. Not that that makes Junior all that different from the way Ludwig treats the rest of his siblings...

=== Roy ===
▲[[File:roommates_2009_roy_5873.png|frame]]
Roy Kelton Koopa is the third child and son of [[Super Mario Bros.|Bowser Koopa]], and one of Junior's six older brothers. For most of their shared life as siblings, Junior has been his favorite brother, and Roy is regularly involved in his life as the two have aged into adulthood.
When Roy was a preteen, he was often assumed to be gay because of his bald pink scalp, his [[Iconic Item|trademark]] [[Sunglasses
But Roy befriended Hanbei Kagami, a [[Japan|Japanese]]-[[Brazil (useful notes)|Brazilian]] [[Pokémon|wartortle]], and they became [[Platonic Life Partners|inseparable best friends]]. Under Hanbei's [[Morality Pet|influence]], Roy stopped being a bully, and instead started being the kid that protected more vulnerable kids from being bullied. Hanbei also tutored Roy academically to bring his grades up, and because of this Roy managed to graduate well from high school.
Line 381:
* [[Red Oni]]: To Hanbei's [[Blue Oni]].
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Roy swears a shitload of fuckin' expletives, as casually as if he were talking about the weather.
* [[Sunglasses
* [[Tsundere]]
* [[Violet Eyes]]: When his [[Sunglasses

=== Iggy ===
▲[[File:roommates_2009_iggy_8231.png|frame]]
[[Word of God|Ignatius Newell]] Koopa is the fourth eldest child and son of [[Super Mario Bros.|Bowser Koopa]].
Line 401:
* [[Geek Physiques]]: He takes [[Blatant Lies|good]] care of his physical fitness.
* [[Black and Nerdy|Koopa and Nerdy]]
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]/[[Narm]]: Iggy tries this, especially when talking to Hanbei. Iggy's trying to be respectful and sound more Japanese, but he only ends up sounding unflatteringly obsessive.
* [[Multicolored Hair]]: And it's natural.
* [[Nerd]]: Not even a [[Hollywood Nerd]]. Iggy is a fantastically geeky, awkward, unkempt, full-blown Nerd, whose friends are all just as nerdy as he is.
* [[Non-Mammalian Hair]]
* [[Occidental Otaku]]: Iggy has an unhealthy personal obsession with Japanese culture that goes well beyond mere immersion and study. Roy nicknames him "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/weeaboo wee-Iggy-a-boo]".
* [[Word of Gay|Word of Straight]]: Iggy is quite straight, and has a girlfriend. Gay things don't interest him, but they don't bother or offend him at all either. As such, he seems extremely comfortable discussing with any and all gay topics, and will even affectionately tease Junior about them. Iggy's no stranger to it -- he's already seen countless [[Rule 34]] both gay and straight on [[

=== Wendy ===
▲[[File:roommates_2009_wendy_8126.png|frame]]
Wendy Orlean Koopa is the fifth child and only daughter of [[Super Mario Bros.|Bowser Koopa]], and as such is Junior's only sister. An accomplished [[The Fashionista|fashion expert]] and interior designer in her own right, Wendy also takes charge of the upkeep of Koopa Manor. And in the absence of their deceased mother Peach, Wendy has tried her best to fill in as motherly influence to her brothers. Along with Roy, Wendy is the Koopaling that Junior sees most on an everyday basis.
Line 439:
* [[Tsundere]]: Wendy will usually be perfectly nice and congenial until you sass her. Then she'll [[Sassy Black Woman|sass you right back]].

=== Morton ===
▲[[File:roommates_2009_morton_7705.png|frame]]
Morton [[Ascended Fanon|Sean]] Koopa, Junior is the sixth eldest child and fifth son of [[Super Mario Bros.|Bowser Koopa]], and is named after Bowser's grandfather Morton.
Line 459:
[[Word of God|Lawrence Harvey]] Koopa is the seventh eldest child and sixth son of [[Super Mario Bros.|Bowser Koopa]]. Though closest to Junior in age, Junior and Larry don't have a close fraternal relationship. In particular, Larry is a huge [[Heteronormative Crusader|homophobe]], and Junior has been secretly gay.
This hasn't stopped them from spending lots of time together in Roy's room, where they both have an obsession with ''[[Guilty Gear]]''. Larry's character of choice used to be [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Bridget]], whom he used to lust over. Needless to say, learning that Bridget is a ''boy'' was a hugely [[Unsettling Gender Reveal]], and Larry immediately sought out a different character to admire. His later favorite became [[
Later, when Junior finally [[Coming Out Story|came out of the closet]], Larry was the one most unsettled by Junior's revelations. It became apparent that Larry's homophobic baggage has a [[Ambiguously Gay|vaguely]] [[Gayngst|Gayngsty]] quality to it, as he is far less secure with gay issues than anyone else in his immediate family, or most ordinary people for that matter.

Line 602:
