Dark Boo had a different name in real life, though he denies it entirely as of late. Nowadays he simply goes by DB. He is but one of many of his kind. DB doesn't remember what he was before he died, but he likes to think he was a member of the Royal Family (Koopa Klan). He is not. As soon as his death occurred he was called out by the royal King Boo. At the time he was an average Boo. Not knowing why, he simply joined the Boo Clan.
Being one of the more mischievous Boos, DB made friends quickly. At the time, the Boo Clan resided in an old abandoned castle. Eventually he joined an exclusive group of Boos, all troublemakers. Yes, I know, all Boos are troublemakers, but these Boos were different. They were skilled at tricking and pulling pranks on their own kind, and King Boo thought they could be put to use. He was wrong.
One night, in a part of the castle reserved for these creeps, the Boos were trying to think up a new prank. They had mistreated every other ghost in the clan... except for one... DB knew it was a bad idea to prank the king, but if he backed down, the others would think of him as a coward and maybe even boot him out of the group. So, he went along reluctantly. At the time the king was sleeping in his private room. The troublemakers entered the highly-restricted lounge. For their prank, they needed to get some dirt on their boss.
The group searched high and low for something- anything they could use. Just as the group was about to give up, DB called the group over to a well-hidden dresser. Wondering why a ghost would need clothes, they opened the drawer slowly. And there it was. The Mario Doll! It was perfect. The leader of the pack complimented DB on his good work. DB sighed in relief. As the Boos were about to exit the room, they heard a boom. They turned around, and to their horror, King Boo was floating there. King Boo had never been sleeping, but had only been invisible. After screaming at the group for a while, he pondered for a moment. He couldn't have such a disrespectful bunch in his clan. It just wouldn't work. He had to get rid of them. DB was scared to death (how ironic). He had already feared the king, in a respectful sort of way. He feared for his afterlife.
King Boo brought the group to Poshley Heights. DB and others wondered why he had taken them to a great place. It turns out it was punishment. King Boo explained that they were to stay in the Poshley Heights Sanctum's secret painting area until he had cooled off. The group of ghosts realized they couldn't disobey the head-honcho. So, they willingly entered the painting. Time passed.
Over time, the Boos wondered what an orange (garnet) star was doing on a pedestal, but they ignored it. DB had smuggled in a Gameboy. Oddly, the batteries lasted those hundred years. After about 50 years inside, they all noticed something. While the group was busy annoying each other, the leader had swiped DB's Gameboy as a prank. The bunch began taunting him. Filled with rage, DB had dashed forward, knocking the leader to the ground. Their boss moaned and groaned. It was obvious: they were now stronger! DB could NEVER have done that before! The Boos looked at each other and realized they had lost their chalky paleness, and were turning purple. Their tongues had been turning from red to blue. Their eyes had changed as well. Now they had glowing, creepy, yellow eyes. The pack noticed that the air looked leaky... as if paint was dripping from the ceiling. Then it hit one of them. It was the oils! The chemicals in the painting they were now in had leaked into their ectoplasmic skin. They decided to call themselves Dark Boos. They were about to leave... but yet... they still feared their king...
One day, unexpectedly, a chubby-looking man with a mustache, overalls, and a hat with an M on it (you'd better know who this is) came through the doors to the painting world. Not knowing he wanted nothing to do with them, the group attempted to attack Mario. They figured since they were stronger than before, they could take this newcomer. They were wrong. Mario POUNDED them. When DB realized he was the last one left, he fled to hide behind the pedestal. Fearing the worst, he waited for the inevitable. But nothing happened. DB looked around and noticed that Mario was gone, as was the orange star. DB pondered to himself, and realized it was time for him to leave. He left the others lying there.
After leaving Poshley Heights, DB wandered into an area (AKA Lemmy's Land) that looked busy. He ran into a rainbow-haired Koopa riding on a ball (Lemmy!), and decided to ask for a few answers. Lemmy explained everything: Mario, Bowser, Lemmy's Land, et cetera. When DB heard something about an Interview, he was intrigued. After Lemmy left, DB decided to lounge around the Interviews, sneaking in backstage and watching the Interviews. Then he felt ready to reintroduce himself to the new society.
As an Interview was about to start, DB cut the power. He snuck into the studio and introduced himself. A few audience members were peeved. Lemmy gave the ghoul a chance, however. When his first Interview began, he almost had a heart attack at the sight of his old master, though he tried to keep his cool. However, King Boo had forgotten the incident and the show wasn't bad for DB's first try, except for the part when he destroyed the studio. For a period of time, DB worked with other people on the Interviews, most notably Doopliss and his sister Bissy, before he decided to start anew.
Much has happened in this time. DB now has two truly permanent Interview partners, Zed and Thunk, and his personality has vastly changed. Though he was once relatively nice, DB has become rather mean and hostile, so it would seem. He also seems to have developed some sort of psychological problem. Or he could possibly just be an avid attention seeker. None truly know the answer. DB still hosts Interviews today, though he has become increasingly lazy over time. One thing that hasn't changed is the amount of respect he has for a certain other interviewer, even to the point where he'd squeal in joy to meet him. Though he'd never openly admit it.
Interestingly enough, no one knows how DB got a Gameboy before they were invented, or how the batteries managed to last so long. A paradox that will forever be unsolved. Or will it? Probably.

Quote: “Ba-dum-dum.”
The newest and most simple member of Dark Boo's Interview Trio. Not the type to complain much, and always willing to follow orders, Thunk gets along just fine with his boss. Thunk was hired as a bodyguard when a desperate DB was paranoid that he was going to be killed, though Thunk has become much more than that in the short time he's been with the show.
Thunk's origins trace back to when he was interviewed by two other tourists by the names of Dark Koopa and Little C. When their Interview was finished, Dark Koopa shooed Thunk away, telling him to go work for Dark Boo as a bodyguard. Why? Just another mystery. Very shortly after, Thunk tried getting a job from DB, with little success. Zed was hurt horribly, and Thunk was turned away. But the Whomp was persistent, returning many Interviews later, a lot luckier the second time around. Some strange things have happened as a result of this story, such as Thunk's differing answers in the two Interviews he's been in. It's probably nothing too big to worry about, though, right? Right?
Impulsive, Thunk will randomly eat and smash whatever he feels like. Yet at the same time, he's the kindest and most considerate member of this Interview squad. Deep down, he believes DB is nowhere as cruel as he makes himself out to be, and that Zed, though a puny skeleton, is a really nice guy. Sadly, even Thunk receives undeserved punishments from DB, but he tries to ignore them.
Thunk has a few paradoxes of his own, but they've already been stated. Except for this one question: Why did Thunk's grammar suffer in between the time he left the Interview with Little C and Dark Koopa to the moment he entered DB's studio? Because he fell on his face a few too many times on the way over.

Quote: “I hate you so very much...”
Zed is the unfortunate soul who was unlucky enough to meet DB that one fateful day, when DB had escaped from the clutches of the X-Nauts with all his limbs injured. Taking pity on the purple ghost, Zed decided to help DB with a few Interviews. Little did he know, he was doomed to be stuck in a binding contract with the scheming little specter. For how long, only DB can say.
Out of the three characters, Zed has one of the deepest backstories behind him, a tale of woe, of happiness, of love, of destruction, of hopes, of dreams, and all these things. Seriously, he does. We just can't fit all that detail into a short bio like this. Or we don't want to. Regardless, here's what we will tell you.
Zed died a very long ago, as can be told from his current age. This happened when he, still as a Koopa, had entered Dry Dry Ruins, looking for anything that would be worth a lot of money. And in the process, he found himself killed by a Chain Chomp. From there, he was resurrected with pretty much all of his brain in tact. After that he escaped from the ruins, befriended many Dry Bones, and claimed a mansion on the top of Mt. Rugged for his very own. Many important characters entered his life, including some of the more noteworthy Dry Bones in his manor, a persistent Yoshi that just wouldn't die, and a ghost he wound up falling in love with. And because he’s had to leave all this to help with some crummy interview show, he's unhappy. Not to mention the fact that DB calls all of Zed's backstory a ridiculous lie.
Because of the constant harassment from DB, Zed is almost always in a bad mood. This bad mood is often taken out on people who don't deserve it, and in the end, people think Zed is a jerk. Although Zed and the newest member, Thunk, had a rocky start (no pun intended), Zed doesn't actually have any personal qualms with the Whomp. In fact, he finds Thunk to be much more tolerable than DB. Though to be fair, Zed considers almost everyone more tolerable than DB. After suffering both physical and mental punishment, who can blame him?
Why Zed lets himself be bound to a low-budget show by a barely legal contract is yet another mystery that will last a lifetime. Will he leave and get back to his own life? Probably not anytime soon. We'll let paradoxes take care of it.
