Phantissimo (Kirby Fan Character).

-Back Story-

Who is this, you ask? Why it's the great Phantissimo!

Having been nown as Fortissimo in his life before his demise, this chap was a talented musician and classical composer of his very own orchestra.

Coming from a rich family, Fortissimo lived for many years in the spotlight. The fame that came about from his talent going to his head, he took his work exceedingly seriously, even going as far as to cut off ties with friends and family to study and perfect it. As he distanced himself away, his behaviour and outlook on the world became more and more negative, turning him into almost a completely different person than the one that most people knew.

One day, the musician came across a witch who also excelled in the musical arts- however, it was through magic that this person was able to perform so well, which angered Fortissimo, who had spent year after year trying to perfect his craft. How DARE someone just sweep in and attempt to steal his glory with flights of fancy such as “magic”. Being born with the powers was not the same as putting time and effort in, in his opinion.

During an argument with the mage, a curse was bestowed upon him- the curse promised that all talent would be drained from Fortissimo's memory, only to be remembered through great emotional pain- that being, whenever the man would feel intense sadness, only then would his musical sound as beautiful as it once did.

With no one to console about this curse, and being unable to perform on stage unless the circumstances were exact, Fortissimo eventually started to realize that everything he'd made of himself was crashing around his ears (metaphorically speaking of course). Years went by, usually consisting of the once talented composer sulking and brooding alone in his house, until he eventually died.

But it didn't end there. Fortissimo's (taking on the name Phantissimo once he'd passed on) spirit still lingers in the halls of his mansion, still composing, still making music- a glowing heart clearly seen through the ghostly form- it will show as cracked in two when it shows Phantissimo is in the right mood for performing.
