Star Fox rp

[Sage of Shadow]

Me and 2gamers have been working about this one for some time now. We have worked up this rough draft.

Starlight Within the Darkness: A Star Fox RP

The story takes place in a time of relative peace in the Lylat system. The allied planets are focusing less on defense from mad scientists and alien invasions and more on exploring the universe around them. Astronomers have sighted an unknown system of planets. A previous team of explorers have been sent to the system, but all are MIA. The next team to be sent is not only tasked with exploring the system but also to find out the fate of the other explorers.

And so, a number of cadets, fresh out of the Cornellian Defense Academy, are tasked with this mission. Though all are experienced in space flight, many have secondary specialties in various sciences. However, almost none of them have experienced the wars that plagued their system. In case they do experience combat, they are assigned a former veteran to assist in the mission. The team is stationed inside their version of the Great Fox, their home for their arwings and themselves for the duration of the mission.

When they arrive at the system, they find that they are under fire from an enemy force. The surprise attack leaves only *insert number of characters* survivors. The main ship is destroyed in the assault as well. Since their arwings do not have enough fuel to make it back to Lylat, the survivors are left stranded in this unknown world. The remaining team begins scouting the planet for evidence of the enemy, life on the planet, and a way back home.

What they find astonishes them. This particular planet is filled with life, most notably a village of intelligent beings known as “humans”. Though they do not possess the technology of the explorers (primarily in terms of weaponry), they are no less intelligent for it. The human colonial villagers help the team out with food, treatment, and some information about where they are.

It’s not long after that the village is attacked by the same army that attacked the explorers. After a skirmish, the team ends up taking a hostage. The hostage tells them that the enemy is a group of smugglers under the command of an arms dealer. He is using the system as a proving ground for his creations, with the humans as target practice. The relative peace in Lylat has left the arms dealer penniless, which resulted in him preparing for another war. Whether that is started by a client or even himself, he would get his revenge. The humans are not defenseless, but their weaponry is not on par with energy shields and plasma lasers.

And so, the rest of the story would consist of the team assaulting various targets, stopping clients from getting deadly weapons, and preventing another catastrophic war on the Lylat System.

They also help out the humans whom are being victimized by the arms dealer as well as help any surviving civilian Lylat scientists from the fate of their dead colleagues.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any Cornarian species that has appear in a Star Fox game is playable. In addition, don't be afraid to suggest species whom have not appeared in the game.

We need Cornarian cadet survivors as well as older officers that act as advisers. We also need Cornarian civilian scientist survivors as well as smugglers. Finally, some human colonists living in the remote colony would not hurt either.

The topography, flora, and fauna of the colonial planet are limited to the imagination.

[2gamers]

Essentially, most animal-human combination species should work fine. We also need to think of names for the system, important bad guy, whatever else too vague in the description.

Ooh, can this RP start on Cornelia? I'd like to explore relationships prior to exploring the new system.

That is, if I can ever get a character together >_<. I'm trying to wrap up another RP, so hopefully, I'll make more progress then.

EDIT: I think this is in the wrong board. It needs to be in the "Other Fandom" section, not "Original".

*Sweatdrop.* No big deal, I'll move it.

[Sage of Shadow]

lol figured you would!

[2gamers]

I am working on my profile now. So far, I'm seeing an older pilot who's quite bombastic. Also, he's a walrus.

"I AM THE WALRUS!"

[Sage of Shadow]

lol! Catchphrase ftw!

Working on a younger Cornarian cadet.

Finished. I might make a second character, but I'm just glad I managed to get one out .

Name: [/i] Winston “Whiskers” Wallop

Age: [/i] 36

Gender: [/i] Male

Home Planet:[/i] Fichina

Appearance:[/i] Winston resembles a bipedal walrus in overall appearance. Though quite stout, he is not necessarily overweight. His face is made up of blue rubbery skin and determined brown eyes. Under his nostrils is an impressive growth of whiskers, the origin of his nickname. Two tusks are visible, though they do not extend beyond his chin.

Winston is often seen in his snow suit. The suit is a leftover of his days in the Lylat Army, with mostly white coloration with the exception of light blue on the limbs. It’s quite thick, with down feathers as insulation for protection from Fichinia’s cold climate. It also works quite well in the cold depths of space, so Winston often travels with it on. On his right hip is a brown leather holster for his blaster.

Personality:[/i] If there was one word that could describe Winston, it would be “bombastic”. He goes off on the littlest of things, often referring to the good ol’ days. With years of piloting behind him, he can be quite knowledgeable, but also very arrogant. In battle, Winston tends to be hawkish, going into the fray guns blazing. That being said, he is kind to his allies and treats his younger compatriots like his own kids. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t enjoy giving them a good whooping, whether in a simulated dogfight or an old-fashioned brawl.

Biography:[/i] Winston was born and raised on Fichinia. His family had been fishermen for several generations, supplying the people of the planet with delicious seafood. Along with his two younger brothers, Winston was to inherit the family business. In the spring time, he was taken on the boat to learn how to put the nets out, grab the fish and crustaceans, and even how to sail the ship. Even in his young teens he was subject to much labor as he worked in the family business. It was likely that this would be how the rest of his life was spent.

That is, until that fateful day he first encountered an Arwing.

On a normal day of fishing, Winston and his family were attacked by a gang of intergalactic marauders, attacking their ship in spacecraft. Had it not been for the fleet of local pilots, their business (not to mention their lives) would have been lost. As Winston watched the dogfights in the air above, he started to realize that his destiny wasn’t at sea but in the stars. A week after the fishing season ended, Winston enlisted at the Fichinian outpost of the Cornerian Army.

Over the years, Winston had seen plenty of action across the Lylat System. Every time Lylat faced a threat, whether it be Andross, Aparoid, or Anglar, he was always around to meet the foe. After the wars died down and peace reigned across the system, Winston went to settle down in Fichinia. He thought about rejoining his family in the fishing business, perhaps start a family of his own. It seemed fate had once more steered him away from Fichinia, for Corneria had summoned him about assisting an exploration team in investigating a new system. The spirit of flight still strong in his heart, Winston accepted and headed for Corneria for another mission.

Strengths:[/i] Winston is quite the experienced pilot. Combined with his strong sense of loyalty and justice, he can be an invaluable ally.

Weaknesses:[/i] As mentioned before, he can be quite arrogant. That can lead him into trouble.

Items:[/i] His trusty laser blaster. It’s about as small as a pistol, but it comes with a pointer for more accuracy. According to Winston, that’s about all that he needs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Ship:[/i] Manta

Appearance:[/i] Designed by Winston, the Manta is a ship that takes the shape of a manta ray. The cockpit sits in the middle of the structure, while the artillery sits at the front end. The pair of lasers forms the barbels of the craft. On tha back is a prehensile tail. This can be used for all sorts of things, most notably pulling heavy objects around. It’s great for towing damaged ships.

Weapons:[/i] The Manta is equipped with twin lasers that can lock on to a single target. For defense, the craft has the capability to deflect blasts by spinning (also known as the barrel roll). With the long wingspan of the Manta, the ship is capable of taking out crowds of small enemies with spinning alone. The Manta also has decent shields and speed, though there is definitely room for upgrades.

Name: Ginger Bremen 

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Home Planet: Macbeth

Appearance: 
 
Ginger is a tall and slender bobtail lynx with consistently short, ginger colored fur (hence the name) with three exceptions. Firstly, from her muzzle down her belly her fur is a cream color; secondly, the black markings that begin on her forehand and run down her back to her tail. Thirdly, her paws are black furred as her the hairs on the tips of her ears; finally, the marble sized black spots appear randomly where her fur is ginger. Her eyes are a crisp blue. Her muzzle is short in length and she has all her canines that she is supposed to have at her age.
 
 She generally wears her graduation uniform while on a mission.
 
 
Personality: 

Ginger is voracious in what she sets her mind to and stubborn to see whatever that happens to be through. She can come off as distant to strangers, but she is not a shy person. She is moreso an assessing person who needs others to earn her trust. She likes to plan ahead and avoid spur of the moment decisions. She can be rather hard nosed at times seeming to ignore distractions in favor of reaching her goals.


Biography:
 
She comes from a family of miners and engineers from Macbeth which gives her a working knowledge of mining and geology. Those companies who decided to fight dirty in extracting the resources of Macbeth have forged her convictions on careful decision making and calculating trust when her and her family had to decide who to work for.

She survived the Lylat War against Andross with her family fighting for the resistance on Macbeth. She became a soldier to get away from life in the mines as well as
 

Strengths: 

She is skilled in speed and stealth.
 

Weaknesses: 
 
Endurance and brute strength are not her strong suite. Also, because of her analysis, she can overanalyze. She can also hesitate between what she thinks are equally appealing options. She tries to

Items: As a recently graduated cadet all she is authorized to use is a default blaster pistol. Anything else she must receive permission to fire. She is not one for  heavy weapons though so she tends to avoid them. She also keeps a lockpick with her just in case.

Ship:  Standard Arwing


Weapons: Everything associated with a standard Arwing

Alright, that works for now. You can delve into other aspects (like her uniform), in the first post.

Am I missing anything?
