🌠 STARSTRUCK 🌠
starstruck is my own personal anthology and OC universe that takes place in Kirby! it contains all of my fan characters, their stories, and the lore I constructed out of the mess that is kirby canon! the storyline/universe is basically mashed together with lore from the anime and games with my own little additions and changes here and there. my OCs are a core aspect of the storyline as well, so the starstruck story as a whole isn't meant to exist without them. currently, the present starstruck storyline is still very much in it’s early stages of development, but the general timeline is very fleshed out!
the present time story mainly follows the honorary protagonist ricky alongside his newfound friends asari, cocoba, and gigi. the quartet go on an adventure to find and defeat ricky’s estranged and tyrannical father ardona, to not only put an end to his ruthless ways, but to also ensure the safety of ricky, his loved ones, and the galaxy itself. there's a lot of corny shit like friendship, found family, reunification, persevering hope, healing from your own trauma, and breaking generational cycles.
preceding the present storyline of starstruck, there is a long timeline of very convoluted lore and connections between canon characters and OCs. i don’t have it all written down with specific notes, but you can see the main timeline here (info in the timeline will occasionally be changed, added, or removed by me). if you want a specific and in-depth understanding of the lore, you’ll have to read the characters' separate profiles and piece it together. a lot of ideas surrounding starstruck are still thoughts in my head as well, so don't think too hard about plot points and stuff.
theres quite a bit of OC x canon here, and the story includes potentially triggering subjects such as child neglect/abuse, parental death, unethical experimentation, abusive parents, intentional mental/emotional/neglectful abuse, trauma, literal war crimes, murder/sacrifices, forced seperation due to war, suicidal ideation, severe mental health struggles, and a FUCK ton of family problems. please heed the trigger warnings that may be on the respective character pages god bless.
- "starstruck" in general is a catchall title for both the overall universe itself and the actual story following ricky and the quartet's journey. not all ocs are gonna have an actual presence or connection with the main story/cast of kirby and starstruck (such as ponoka, for example.) these characters are labeled as ecto characters, since they have little to no involvement with the main story.
- starstruck lore as a whole spans over billions of years and many different places within the universe. to keep things simple, i use year notations on the basis of before the events of KRBAY (basically BCE/BC), during the events of KRBAY, and after the events of KRBAY (basically CE/AD.) a majority of the general lore takes place before the events of KRBAY (divinity's creation of the universe/gods, founding/dissolution of the sun knights, GSA vs NME war, etc etc), while after after the events of KRBAY include what can be defined as "the present" (kirby games, ricky/quartet's journey, and the future...)
- starstruck is a closed AU/story because it’s VERY personal and adding someone else to this would make it even more complicated.
- ricky was the very first character i made in starstruck and he is literally the foundation and reason why it has been built up to this point. i just drew a little bat one day in a kirby art style in fire alpaca and it began to actually develop out of that. thanks ricky this is all because of you ❤️
- notably and surprisingly, kirby has very little hands-on involvement in the starstruck storyline of the quartet's journey for a few undisclosed reasons. it's sort of funny considering the fact that this is literally based in his universe but ok.
