Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: REVIVAL

I know, I'm just asking you to actually make your own original characters.

He didn't share it tomorrow...

thank you for making me not be that guy lol

I think it'll come out when character submissions end, so tomorrow's tomorrow.

Are submissions still open?

Honest I was this close to doing the same.

Oh, here's a screenshot of my character Explorers, just to see him up close
Really old and crappy drawing btw

Yes, although you gotta submit your character(s) FAST because it ends tomorrow!

Name: EAS

-----
Name: Daisankor (but no one knows how to pronounce that, so he goes by Dayzi for short)

Color: Royal Blue

Gender: Male (he/him)

Appearance: 17-year-old boy from the eastern US with long brown hair, brown eyes, a thin mustache, and a thin beard as well

Combo: Middleweight (specifically Yoshi/Daisy/Peach/Birdo stats) + pink City Tripper + red roller tires. He also owns a Mr. Scooty that he often will switch to if he is doing poorly

Personality:
- Shy, rarely talks unless he needs to
- Often gets nervous during conversations that certain people will make fun of him and thus he can be easily pressured into changing his mind and apologizing for his "mistake" when asked to explain the reason for his opinions or actions
- Very pessimistic.
- Lacks self-confidence. He will often say or think things like "there's no way I'll ever win this considering lu" before a race when in reality he's considerably better at racing than most people on the track
- Sometimes a bit over-reliant on shock when bagging, but nonetheless good at pulling and using said shock (I know you're not a Lounge player like I am and probably don't know which tracks to bag on so I'll say for reference: Mario Kart Stadium, GBA Snow Land and SNES Mario Circuit 3 are his favorite tracks to bag)
- Despite (and somewhat resulting of) his lack of self-confidence, he is very much focused on improving his faults. His nightly routine consists of practicing alone on the next day's tracks (often for multiple hours) He gets home very late, watches highlights of the previous day's races to pick out where he went wrong, and then falls asleep while thinking about how to improve said mistakes
- Often uses fancy competitive Mario Kart terms by accident without realizing it (such as referring to the players in the race as the "lu" (meaning lineup)), then quickly corrects himself when he realizes very few people know what he is talking about

Other info:
- He had previously raced in competitive tournaments (and even won a few of them) for over a year from 2023-2024 and despite two years of almost complete racing inactivity, he is still very good at running most of the tracks, in fact abnormally so on GBA Boo Lake. He prefers to keep his past experience a secret though and will deny it when asked about it unless pressured into it
- His main strategy is to try to stay in mid-high spots (around 3rd-5th) for the first lap, pull a Mushroom or Super Horn, then unleash his full racing potential and catch up to 1st without using any items so he can have an item to dodge a blue shell with.
- Getting Target-Shocked while he is taking a Mushroom shortcut will make him RAGE like you've never seen him before. If the same person Target-Shocks him multiple times on the same race, then for the rest of the race he will not be trying to win but in fact be targeting the person who used the Shock with his items to make sure he/she gets dead last.
- Other than racing, he enjoys playing video games, trying new foods, going camping, composing his own music, playing the piano, and chilling by himself in his room doing absolutely nothing. He refuses to play the piano in front of people though as he claims he is bad at it
