I've noticed
King Boo wants Luigi dead.
Antasma wants to control Luigi.
Dimentio... I don't want to know what he wants.
What are their interests/interactions be like?
How do you write them in a dark romantic way?
King Boo: he is egotistical, deranged and territorial towards Luigi. He has felt so wronged by him that he wants his defeat to be done by him and him alone so he will ensure no other villain has their way with him. He doesn't really want him dead, death is a luxury and a mercy he doesn't want for Luigi, but if he did end up dead by a natural disaster or smth, he would still go after him but in spirit, which is much easier for him to do and they will now have an eternity with each other. In this case, I'd make him more bold and in a way, a bit more tender but in a bit of a twisted way. What makes it better for King Boo is that none of his friends will be able to do a single thing about it, especially Mario since he is clearly weak to ghosts and boos so he can't stop him nor save his brother's spirits, so King Boo ends up taking down two birds with one stone.
Antasma: This guys is territorial in a different way to Luigi. He keeps Luigi as a means to feed and grow powerful once more but he also takes notice on his skills and decides to put them to use. This creates creates a symbiotic relationship, Luigi gets his nightmares eaten so he won't have them anymore and can finally get a full nights sleep and as long as he works, he gets food, clothing and so on. Antasma gets to feed, regain his power and a companion. This may seem fair or not as bad but make no mistake, Antasma keeps a close eye on the plumber and is quick to demolish any hope he wishes to keep of escape or his defeat. He also likes to give him a scare or two for entertainment, makes the nightmares later more fruitful. He's also quick to make sure no one can get close to Luigi or himself, isolating the both of them. You can think of it as a King really favouring his personal butler.
Dimentio: this guy's nuts. That's it. All he wants is to get rid of the worlds as they are and only keep himself and Luigi to rule over new worlds together. He will never let go of him if he gets his hands on him again and he will make sure of it. He has seen Luigi's formidable powers, knows why he was chosen by two extremely powerful artefacts and believes he deserves much more than he is given, planning on doing just that but in a way that will keep him tied to him forever. He will ditch mind-control all together, make him watch as everything is reshaped to their desires and feel his numb and terrified mind with honey-glazed yet twisted words, introduce him to new wicked ideas and games to play together and ensure him over and over again that they are fated to continue this for all eternity.
I might have gone overboard, please excuse me.
