Dimentio

Dimentio is the overarching antagonist of the Super Mario series. He is shown to be emotionless and enjoys playing with his victims before effortlessly ending their games and in turn, their life.

## **Background**

Dimentio was born in the "Mischievous Dimension", a world that is only known to spread mayhem and mischief to those who unluckily wander into it. Once the dimension was threatened to be destroyed by those who were fed up by its troubles, the two hierarchs vowed to protect their land and seal a gate shut, only to be accessed by those who know the secret code. After much consideration and thought, the people of the dimension decided to change their ways and end their mischievous reign. Dimentio however, did not like this. Angered by the sudden choice, he always loved being bad and playful with his enemies. As a result, he murdered his parents and brainwashed those who were aware of it into thinking they died in a freak accident. The truth eventually got out about their murders and Dimentio was banished to the Macroverse, the realm seen as home to those not deserving of a good home. Ever since then, Dimentio had been ruling over the Macroverse, intimidating those who would dare attack him, and vowed revenge on the rest of the universe, becoming particularly interested in ruling Earth, the only other planet that was known to harbor life and was home to a civilization of humans. Unfortunately for him, the Star Sprites had secretly punished Dimentio to not allow his presence on Earth. Unaware of this punishment, Dimentio had tried for decades to try and invade Earth by opening rifts across the planet, the most notable one being from York, England, where he almost gained access but just so happened to be punished at that very moment, restricting access. Earth was at its Middle Ages time period when Dimentio had tried to enter and those who saw him just beyond the rift made murals and paintings, citing his otherworldly presence as proof of extraterrestrial life. Overtime, Dimentio had fallen to simply being just a legend and scary folklore, where generations later began to believe he never even existed.

## Appearances

### **Physical Appearance**

Overall, Dimentio looks like a jester or harlequin. He primarily wears a cap and cape with purple and light-yellow stripes, with the purple striped portions of the cap containing jingle bells on each end. Underneath the cape, he has two black hands separate from his body, as well as black pointy-ended shoes. While levitating, he bends his shoes and tucks his black hands underneath his cloak. His face is stylized after a theatrical mask, split in half so that the right side is white and the left side is black. The eyes likewise are differently colored: black for the right eye, and yellow for the left. His mouth is colored red and usually set in a grin.

### **Personality**

Dimentio is cunning in nature and extremely condescending at best. He speaks in odd rhymes that come off as passive-aggressive to those he speaks to and lacks any empathetic connection to anyone. He killed his own parents after finding out he was not meant to live a life full of mischief and greed much to how most of his dimension was known for. His parents wanted a change for good, leading an entire overhaul to their home, wanting it to be devoid of any trouble. Dimentio was not on board with this and secretly murdered his two parents and planted a floro sprout on those who witnessed the horrible event. He was able to obtain the sprout in his own personal mindscape dimension known as Dimension D. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his end goal and take over the multiverse in one piece.
