[b]Personality:[/b]
Falcon is confident, self-assured, and bold. He's always eager and driven to compete and prove himself, whether as a bounty hunter or on the race track. During interviews, he's known to maintain a calm and professional attitude. He's grateful for the fan-following he built up over his career and is always happy to greet a fan and sign autographs. He even tends to be cordial to his rivals, encouraging them to push their limits and challenge him anytime they feel confident enough. And he can also be quite the heroic sort, quick to save or protect a life if he has the means to do so.[/center]

[hider=Background]Douglas Jay Falcon was originally a bounty hunter from Port Town. As a hunter, Falcon's record was impeccable which had earned him fame and infamy even before he became an F-Zero Pilot. As for why Falcon joined the F-Zero races, no one really knows. Even his identity is a closely guarded secret, as Falcon is never seen without his helmet and visor on. However, it can be assumed that he joined the races simply as another means to compete and push himself to his limits.

During his career as a racer, Falcon has met many friends and rivals - the most infamous of those being Samurai Goroh as well as Falcon's own evil clone known only as Blood Falcon. The latter was created by Black Shadow after he stole some of Falcon's DNA while he was hospitalized after a huge crash incident during an F-Zero race. In addition, some vital parts were also stolen from Falcon's machine - the Blue Falcon - during this time in order to serve as the basis for Blood Falcon's F-Zero machine - the Blood Hawk.

Thankfully for Falcon, he made a full recovery and entered the grand prix with a brand new Blue Falcon where he eventually came out on top as its champion. Craving another title, Falcon returned one year later to compete in the next F-Zero Grand Prix. However, he mysteriously vanished before those races started. He was in fact whisked away where he found himself competing in fighting tournaments against heroes and villains alike from other worlds, being what others would now call the "Original Smashers".

Like all the Smashers, Captain Falcon stood among their ranks when Galeem appeared and launched his attacks. And like all the rest, Falcon was defeated and placed under the light god's influence. Within the World of Light, Captain Falcon essentially resumed his career as a racer. He's stayed mostly in and around Hammerhead in the Paved Wilderness. But a new race held elsewhere has spurred him into traveling over into the Sandswept Sky to Carnival Town.[/hider]

[list]
[*] [b]Falcon Style:[/b] Captain Falcon's personal self-made fighting style. It incorporates quick and agile movement into lightning fast fiery strikes. Notable techniques include the [b]Falcon Dive[/b] (in he grapples an enemy midair and generates a small explosion that launches them downward while also launching himself further upward), [b]Rapter Boost[/b] (a forward rush attack in which he strikes with a flame-imbued uppercut generally leading to them being launched upward), [b]Knee of Justice[/b] (a lightning-infused knee smash), the [b]Heel of Shame[/b] (a downward kick with both heels that sends a midair target slamming back down onto the ground), and [b]Falcon Kick[/b] (a flame-wrapped kick that either sends him sliding forward on the ground or flying diagonally downward if used in the air). But his strongest technique is the infamous [b]Falcon Punch[/b], a punch that is launched after a short wind-up in order to deal a devastating blow. It can be imbued with either fire or lightning.

[center][b]Strengths:[/b][/center]
[list]
[*] [b]Top Tier Pilot:[/b] As he is the winner of multiple races and at least one Grand Prix, Falcon's racing and piloting skills are obviously top tier.
[*] [b]Fast:[/b] Falcon can sprint and strike at blistering speed.
[*] [b]Toughness:[/b] He obviously has a degree of durability to him, considering his body can withstand the backlash force of his Falcon Punch without any injuries or discomfort.
[/list]

[center][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/center]
[list]
[*] [b]Close Range:[/b] Falcon's attacks are all with his fists, putting him at a distinct disadvantage against ranged fighters.
[*] [b]Wind-Up:[/b] Some of his attacks require short wind-ups to hit with full strength, most notably the Falcon Punch.
[*] [b]Showmanship:[/b] Falcon has an unfortunate habit of calling out the names of some of his attacks as he uses them. It makes for good showmanship, but it also runs the risk of enemies learning to predict his attacks if a fight drags on long enough for them to catch on.
