Chapter 3 Page 3
Last week we mourned the loss of actor Bob Hoskins, who portrayed Mario in the film. Please check the previous page if you would like to offer any thoughts or feelings towards the man who helped define the childhood of so many through his films.
In this page we introduce a new character, Mouser. We’re very excited to incorporate him into the story as he is actually the first truly original character in this universe. All other characters either existed in early scripts or deleted scenes, which makes their contribution to the setting more defined. Mouser, on the other hand, is a narrative free-agent. We can do whatever we want with him!
Also, yes: he is Asian. We feel it important to include racial diversity in any work, especially one that can trace it’s origin to so many different cultures. It just makes sense to represent different peoples in a universe rife with ethnic heritage.
