Aaaand we got our next fighter for our hypothetical Adventure Zone platform fighter and our first entry from TAZ Dust, it's the spectral CEO himself, Augustus Parsons!
Augustus, as you might expect from a ghost, is quite light and floaty. Fortunately for him, though, he also has some tools in his kit that can make him pretty hard to land a hit on. Again, he is in fact a ghost.
Augustus' neutral special has him summon an infinite supply of ghostly delicious cashews. The cashews do very little damage, but travel a decent distance and have some spread, making them useful for bothering opponents from a distance.
His down special turns him intangible for a short time while held. He cannot be hit and passing through foes will lightly damage them, but he also cannot jump or attack and some moves may still push him. The time you can spend intangible slowly recharges when not in use.
His up special, if tapped, poofs him a set distance straight up. If held, a ghostly reticle appears over one foe at a time, cycling through them. When released, he poofs a slightly longer distance towards the target. If he gets close enough, he damages and stuns the targeted foe.
Augustus' side special has him release a cloud of ectoplasmic energy, which lingers for a few moments, damaging anyone inside but doing no knockback. Augustus can move and act normally after creating the blast, but cannot make a new one until the old one fades.
For Augustus' finale, he once again takes control of a big beautiful train, and drives it straight across the stage, doing great damage to anyone he makes contact with.

Can I just say the role playing in dust is STUNNING. I’m not sure why it’s hit me so hard this mini arc- maybe just because the characters are so distinct- but Augustus Parsons losing a bit of his stability when one of his anchors (an in game mechanic) vanished? And Callan is so distinct from Clint’s other characters, im like, how have you hidden him so long, clint- and Lulu? Don’t get me started on lulu.
