This is an adaptation of the long-running Roleplay: SSMB Heroes Academy. A once public, now private collaborative writing initiative connecting multiple media to tell and expansive story.

To fully enjoy this story, the following aspects need to be kept in mind.

Resurgence, the PM Roleplay takes place after the events of SSMB Heroes Academy and SSMB Heroes Academy: Uprising, a series of 47 episodes. This series will cover all episodes. Additionally, rewrites of previous episodes will be provided overtime. As such, readings of past events is recommended to get the full experience.

There's two kinds of stories told here; Episodes (wherein the Skylanders, the group of heroes roleplayers take on the role as go on all sorts of adventures and face off against numerous threats and obstacles), and Daily Life (downtime between episodes, with more personal and low-stakes stories than featured in Episodes).

Also, because these are stories written by multiple people, there will be cases of characters suddenly vanishing and/or reappearing for no reason, and other such bumps in plots. While I've done my best to mitigate these problems during the adaptation process, I'm not perfect, and there's some things I can't fix so easily.

If you want to be a part of these stories with some of your favourite (or original!) characters, feel free to hit me up by joining the Sonic Stadium Message Board and messaging "Failinhearts" with a request to join.

DAILY LIFE 1: First You Draw A Circle

Club Penguin, Bar

Kyubey stared at the drink Ragna bought him. He poked at it curiously, wondering what it was. All he knew was that it was shaken, not stirred. Not his wisest of choices, as evident of the constant, non-stop bubbling and overflowing. He simply leaned forward and sipped the foam.

"...This tastes weird."

Just outside the bar, Futaba Sakura and Kotone Shiome were walking together. Both Alisa and Dante had called them over with regards to somethng they discovered - an unfamiliar face on the island, unlike anything either of them had seen before. It wasn't long before the Persona users met up with them.

"Hello, you're both just in time," Alisa greeted the two. "Do any of you know what this creature is?"

The creature Alisa was talking about was round and pink, with thick pudgy feet and rosy red cheeks. It looked on at the group that surrounded it, but it stood its ground calmly, albeit with a confused expression on its face. Dante and Kotone didn't know who it was or if it was dangerous, but Futaba seemed to recognise it immediately.

"No way! There's another one here!" She was visibly excited, which only confused the other three. The pink creature found her joy infectious, and started smiling, clapping and jumping for joy with Futaba.

"Hahaaa!" Its voice was high pitched, and judging by Alisa and Dante's reaction, it seemed to be the first time it made any kind of noise.

"Hee hee," Futaba sniggers as the creature stood next to her, copying her mannerisms while she addressed the others. "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Kirby!"

"Hi!"

NEWCOMER: KIRBY

Cheerful and innocent, this strange pink puffball hails from a planet called Pop Star, and has protected it and the galaxy from numerous threats. Kirby is familiar to some Skylanders, but this one seems different. He doesn't speak, but merely makes grunts, groans and other nonsensical sounds. Despite his innocent appearance, he is also fearless and bold when an objective or threat is in sight. He can also be easily motivated by food...

His main ability is to inhale an enemy and copy their power so he can use it himself. Whatever ability he obtains, he is able to master it instantly.

Dante, Alisa and Kotone had no idea what to say to this pink ball. That issue would become moot as Kirby seemed to stop mimicking Futaba. Having noticed something, he stared off into the distance, thinking despite his blank expression. After a second, he sprinted away from the others, leaving them totally bewildered.

Futaba was curious, so she followed him. "Ha, I bet he smells something tasty," she said, catching up to Kirby. "I could totally go for something to eat right about now, too..."

The two dashed through the landscape, passing Mikan and Tron sleeping soundly on a bench out in the town centre. Eventually, Kirby made it to the entrance of the Coffee Shop, his supposed destination. He pushed the door open and waddled inside.

"The Coffee Shop?" Futaba asked out loud, stepping inside. "Good choice, it smells like Joker."
