Wario
There's going to be another story after I get done with this opening story of Super Mario Bros.  I'm not sure there's going to be another comic, but there is another story.  Anyway, I thought of Wario as a desert warlord who rules over a small city on the brink of being swallowed by the sands.  It's his greed for the gold that he's amassed that keeps him there, gold that the other people he rules over have gotten him through trade which he's initiated with another city.  He's keeping his city in the dark about how much he's selling goods for and keeping the profits for himself while giving only the smallest portion back to his people.  Generally an asshole who fell into a very cushy position using his cunning and vile wits.  Which is basically Wario to a tee.  The picture involved here was a very poorly implimented idea that involved Wario surrounded by a harem (a group that is not just one harem), at his side would be the only Princess Wario can call his own, Shokora although she was just someone he saved while trying to loot her pyramid.
