Starfox Elite Squadron

[RaZoR LeAf]

This is based on an old RPG that someone made called Starfox Academy, along with a mixture of the Star Wars Rouge Squadron books, and if anyone had read them, you'll know how this RPG will go.

Starfox Elite Squadron

After the defeat Andross above Dinosaur Planet, General Pepper along with the reunited team of the Great Fox came to realise that the Lylat system would never really be free from the madman's grasp. With the passing away of Peppy Hare, the remaining Starfox members decided to open the team up to create a Squadron. Applications were sent in from accross the Lylat system. New Arwings were put on order from Corneria ship yards along with upgraded Land Masters and Blue Marine's.

Interveiws took place and the huge list of applications was filtered down, throwing out the ones with bad records (not too bad of course, not even Starfox are perfect) and keeping the ones who showed the most promise. Finally ten applicants were chosen to attend the newly constructed Training center in orbit around Corneria.

Whilst there they will learn the skills required to be part of the elite Starfox team, tutored by the original members themselves and put to the test of forming a whole squadron designed to protect the Lylat system. Though there is no known threat at this time, who knows when Andross or anyone else will rear their ugly head to cause trouble.


Sign Ups

Name: Make them clever like the Starfox members names are.
Age: Since we can only assume the members of Starfox are mid 20's early 30's possibly (with Peppy having been the oldest) I'd suggest any characters ar around the 19-30 age range. Not everyone should be young.
Gender: Also accepting "Genderless" if you're species has good enough reason to be. A genderless character is allowed a masculine/femine option too.
Species: Can be any form of animal, and also a SharpClaw or LightFoot from Dinosaur Planet
Home Planet: Pick from the known Planets (try gamefaqs if you can't remember them)
History: Include anything that's happened in the past worth mentioning and sending off the application
Personality: Should be self explanitary
Description: Uniform is the same as the SF members wear but you get your own colour trousers, shirt and scarf
Skills: What skills do have which may be of use to the squadron as a whole?
Other: Everyone's favourite, you know what it's for.

Sign ups are closed after a total of nine characters, but should anyone drop out of the rpg during it's course, they will be cleverly written out and an LSU will be accepted in. If anyone is interested after the 9 sign ups are filled, PM me and you'll be first in line should someone drop out.

Also I should add that if anyone wants to play Falco or Slippy they ask, these characters count out of the open nine.

Last Minute Suff

Each character will be commisioned with a standard blaster as seen in SSBM, the varying speeds and power can be adjusted for ersonal preference upon learning to handle the weapon.
Each character will also be given a freshly made ArWing, complete with Duel Lasers (the middle lase upgrade) and a full compliment of 12 smart bombs. These new ArWings also come equipped with shields, but the barrel roll is still the best technique to use to avoid damage from enemy fire, as the pressure of twisting forces the shields to amplify their output and deflect any energy bolts.


Name: Shex Sharkfin
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Species: Shark
Home Planet: Aquas
History: Shex grew up during the Andross crisis, and found his home planet of Aquas dangerous to journey across. He learnt the art of hunting for pearls at the depths of the ocean floor from his father and was distressed to witness his father's death at the hands of a monsterous serpent. When he learnt of the Squadron being formed he sent off a formal application in hopes that he could stop other people experiencing the same grief as he did when his home came under attack.
Personality: Shex is fairly outgoing and a good conversationist, but he also takes a while to get used to, since he's got a gritty sort of attitude towards things. He's a bit of a rougheon when it comes to fighting, but deep down he's soft. He also appears intimidating, a skill he's often used in the past.
Description: Shex appears as a Shark Anthro would be imagined, with a slight hunched over look, as his face comes forward to appear at the same level and position that more mammalian species would be. His dorsal fin sticks out of his back, through a specially cut slit in his uniform. His skin is clamy to the touch, and a speckled blue grey colour. His uniform is the same white tunic as the original members wear, with a aqua marine shirt below. He also has a darker blue scarf and trousers. Despite being an aquatic species, he does have feet (since he's a n anthro not an actual shark) so he has a regular pair of boots on. His tail also stick out of the back. Alot of people find him quite intimidating at first, because of his sharp teeth and wide grin.
Skills: Shex can obviously survive underwater for any period of time, he's also good with explosives, having been taught to use them when searching for pearls with his father. Also, as mentioned he's pretty intimidating when he wants to be, so scare tactics are a strong point of his.
Other: Is quite fond of a mug of Aqual Ale when off duty, an alcoholic drink brewed on Aquas and high in salt concentration.

Name: Fox McCloud
Age: 25
Gender: Male.
Species: Fox
Home Planet: Corneria
History: Grew up with massive admiration for his father. On his father's betrayal and death, Fox trained with the help of Peppy and took his fathers place as leader of Starfox. Together with his team mates they fought of the threat of Andross, a mad scientist bent on destruction and power. After a long period of peace and short supply of income, Fox was roped in to save a world on the outskirts of the lylat System, Dinosaur Planet. With the help ofa dinosaur partner, he managed to restore the planet before it was torn apart, and uncovered the threat of Andross once more, defeating him a second time. After Peppy's passing away, Fox decided to open up the StarFox team to new members, creating a squadron that would patrol the System and even beyond in order to maintain peace.
Personality: Couragous definatly, Fox wont turn down anybody in need of help, especially if they have a good supply of money, or they're a good looking female. Aside from his fancies, he's a strong leader, always accepting advice and critacism from others, and never challenging anyone's opinion. He's a bit of a gambler sometimes, but always pulls through in the end.
Description: (Attachment)
Skills: Aside from being the leader, he's the most experienced of the team. He's got battle skills, and is one of the best trackers around.
Other: Fox has a staff, it's not a magical one like he used on Dinosaur Planet as it was returned to it's rightful owner. But he still trains with a staff having grown quite accustomed to it.

The first planet to be invaded by Andross, as a 16 year old, he joined a resistance movement that sabotagued many trains, but eventually was evacuated by remaining Coneria forces. Joined Bill's squadron and helped in the battle of Katina. He went back to Macbeth to help sort out Andross' mess. He was eager to join StarFox in battle once again and when he heard of the academy, he was quick to sign up.

Name: Nia Dune (Nia means "purpose". Got it from Kwanzaa)
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Species: Fennec Fox
Home Planet: Corneria
History: Nia's ancestors once lived on the planet of Titania and migrated to Corneria when the planet was too barren to live in. She spent every day of her life trying to find her purpose while being a student of the academy, so she was more than happy to sign up.
Personality: She's very chipper and excitable, so she can get on people's nerves. She can get serious when necessary and always works her hardest. She's very tricky. Her personality is overall childish and nowhere near ladylike.
Description: Stands at 5'4" with a body like a fennec fox (I can show you a picture if you need one). Her trousers and shirt are sand-colored while her scarf is black.
Skills: Not strong, but quite fast and agile. Specializes in stealth, but has been taught sharpshooting. Also has good first-aid skills.
Other: I know what to do with this. *takes bazooka and blasts other*

[The Muffin Man]

I'd like to reserve Falco, please. I really don't wanna lose it mid sign-up x.o

[RaZoR LeAf]

Spots are accepted and reserved.

[kalad1]

Name: Shadow Panther
Age:20
Gender:Male
Home Planet: Corneria
History: He doesn't talk about himself much, but he was in the top ranks of Corneria's spy and assassins, he quit after the war, but has signed up with Star Fox, looking for some action.
Personality: He's quiet and a bit of a loner, bbecause of this, he comes off cold and uncaring, but he's not really that cold....
Description: stands at 5'7", solid black furred panther, he either wears black pants and a t-shirt or black pants and a red t-shirt. he does have some old spy gear stashed away though...
Skills: he has high level military training in stealth and sniping, in addition to other assassin skills, he has also been trained to fly, but at a lesser level than before. He is capable of doing excellent ground based recon, and he could, with the right tools, snipe the commander of an enemy base, throwing the base into confusion.
Other: *sneaks up behind Other and uses a Garrote on it*

[The Muffin Man]

Quick question - What the hell does the "G-Diffusor" do? XD If I'm Falco, I've gotta have "SOMETHIN'S WRONG WITH THE G-DIFFUSOR! I GOTTA PULL OUT!!" ready

Anyway, here we goooo!

Name: Falco Lombardi
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Species: Falcon(although blue )
Home Planet: Corneria
History: Falco, while absent from the Dinosaur Planet mission mostly, was off training for later missions at home, and spending time with his family. Well, that's as far as HE tells anyone. Falco has known Fox since they both became part of the Star Fox team and even before that. He sees Fox as his only true equal, but never admits it. Falco isn't much for jokes while on the job, and is usually pretty serious and rude when out in the field. Off the job, however, he's just your average guy.
Personality: Falco is a no-BS worker. He likes to get in his Arwing, get into the air, do the mission, and be home for dinner and maybe a game of Poker with the boys at the BX(OOC: The BX is the military "mall" sort of. You can find almost anything tax-free!).
Description: Jacket is blue, as our pants and scarf is red.
Skills: Falco is Foxes equal in hand-to-hand combat, but packs a more powerful 'punch'(figurative, not a literal punch) than Fox. He also carries a stronger blaster.
Other: *shoot*o.o

[Heald]

Hmm, I did a bit of research. I can hazard a guess that the G-Diffusor is:

A device that spreads out Gs (units of force) exerted on your body. So, obviously, without the G-Diffusor, the Gs would not be exerted evenly, probably making you feel quite sick, like riding a really fast roller coaster (not that I feel sick on roller coasters, but can you fly a starfighter while feeling like you're on a roller coaster? Try me ). So, if the G-Diffusor is not working, then you're screwed

[RaZoR LeAf]

Kalad - So he's a panther I take it? Accepted.

TMM - Sounds like Falco, top dog.

Also HPK is right about the G Diffuser. I read elsewhere, that is keeps gravity and GForce stable inside the ship. You must have wondered why Falco didn't do a sommersault in Lylat Wars to evade the ships behind him, well it's because the G Diffusers malfunction would have made gravity and GForce squish him mid spin.

[RikiTikiTavi]

Name: Cooper 'Sly' Bandit (his friends call him Coop or Sly)
Age: 19
Gender: male
Species: raccoon anthro
Home Planet: Katina
History: His mother died when he was young and his father left when he was 8 to join the Cornerian air force in the fight against Andross. He was left to raise his little brother. Without the ability to hold a regular job he turned to thievery to secure food and money for shelter for him and his brother. Sadly, his brother was killed in one of the battles between the Star Fox unit and Andross' forces when he was 14. He took a turn for the worse then and his thievery increased. So much so that his signature, a plain white card with a black silhoutte of his head on it, became very well known by authorities. Most recently he had attempted the robbery of the largest collection of precious jewels on all of Katina. Sadly someone else had the same idea and tried to rob the place at the same time. While Sly used stealth and trickery to thieve, these thugs used guns. Due to their clumsiness the alarms were tripped while he was suspended in the shadows of the ceiling. He could have remained there and escaped but as the cops arrived one of them was wounded. Against his better judgement he swooped down and pulled the wounded cop to safety away from the gunfire. Unfortunately the cop was not so wounded that he couldn't handcuff himself to Sly once he realized who had saved him. Sly was arrested along with the thugs. Given his advanced skill, his actions in saving the police officer and the war record of his now deceased father (who died in the same battle that clamed Sly's brother ironically enough) he was offered a chance to apply to the Star Fox squadron as an alternative to jail. He reluctantly submitted a formal application, awaiting their response in a local jail on Katina.
Personality: clever, evasive, a bit of a smart alec. He has no compunctions about stealing from those well off and cares little for authority but he can't stand to see people suffering. Especially those who are innocent or just doing their jobs.
Description: He looks like Sly Cooper but with a slightly broader smile. red scarf, blue shirt, black trousers
Skills: he is a master thief. It makes him very adept at picking all manner of locks, gives him sharp senses and flawless agility and balance. He may not be much of a fighter but it's nearly impossible to lay a hand on him if he doesn't want you too. He also possesses his fathers piloting ability though he doesn't know it yet.

Who exactly is Sly Cooper? Please provide a PROPER description, or a picture if it's based on an existing character.

[The Muffin Man]

Sly Cooper is from the (amazing) PS2 Platformer "Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus". It's a really good game and it shouldn't be hard to find info on.

[RaZoR LeAf]

OK, i've seen a picture of him now. Only five Squadron members (inc Falco). If there's no more sign ups by Saturday i'll start with other characters as NPCs/Late arrivals.
