Full Name: Bartholomew Toad
Nicknames: Barry, Bar T.
Age: Twentysomething
Height: Average
Weight: Average
Gender: Male
Race: Mushroom Person/Toad
Alliance: Good
Home: Mushroom Kingdom
Franchise: Mario Bros. (canonically Super Mario Galaxy; ambiguously Sunshine, Superstar Baseball, Super Sluggers, Mario Vs. DK, and NSMBWii)
Physical Description: Humanoid roughly the size of a human child; wears an open blue vest with gold trimming, white puffy bottoms, brown shoes, and a spherical mushroom cap twice the size of his head with blue spots. Will either wear thick-rimmed glasses or contacts.
Weapons: Usually his wits, but whatever power-up he can get his hands on really.
Abilities/Powers: Genius-level intellect, ability to lift several times his own weight
Skills: Barry can design and build a variety of complex devices; he once built an interstellar vessel he came to dub the Starshroom, albeit with the Lumas' help. He's also quite intelligent in the fact that he can gather and retain vast amounts of information.
Personality: Barry is a rather witty, intellectual individual who enjoys the pursuit of knowledge and using it to help others. While others know he means well and get along with him fairly well, some have claimed they always find his "brainy lectures" tiresome. On the small royal guard team he co-founded, the Toad Brigade, he'll often get mildly irritated by their leader's cowardice or Al's laziness, but he's loyal to his team to the very end.
History: Before becoming a member of the Toad Brigade, Barry was a budding royal scientist of Mushroom Castle and the younger brother of Toad Town researcher Russell Toad. Barry would mainly assist in projects whenever Professor Gadd would come and work on something in Mushroom Castle, but he has worked on some projects of his own. In fact, even back during the beach vacation Bowser Jr. nearly ruined wherein he first formally met his future Brigade teammates, he was already drawing up plans for a space ship. However, he could never get those plans past the drawing board.
Then one day, during the centennial Star Festival, Barry and his four friends were caught up in the hijacking of Mushroom Castle in Bowser's plans to recreate the universe in his image. When the Lumas under Rosalina's authority found the five Toads, they found Barry's many blueprint attempts and helped him make the Starshroom dream a reality. Their red-clad friend then decided they would use the ship to travel the cosmos and help the Mario brothers find the scattered Power and Grand Stars; thus the Toad Brigade was formed. Once the day had been saved, the Toad Brigade were promoted by Princess Peach to the roles of royal guards.
The Toad Brigade has since helped Mario and Luigi on the home front in various ways. The most notable example of this was when all eight Koopalings managed to sneak into Mushroom Castle and kidnap the princess on her birthday, because Barry and Al actually went as far as to accompany the brothers on their mission. Interactions with the brothers on more peaceful times including activities such as games of baseball or helping run Mario's toy factory.
Other: Barry's names listed above are entirely fanon, albeit based on the alleged "Club Nintendo name," Buckenberry. I am still on the fence whether or not to say the Toad Brigade leader is the Toad in my canon, so I left his identity ambiguous.
