[b]Written Description:[/b] As his name suggests, Fox is an anthropomorphic… erm, fox, whose stature and build could be considered slightly below human average (5’8”, 155lbs), but his form is clearly that of an athlete. Obvious animal characteristics aside, his sharp green eyes and a symmetrical white streak centered along the crown of his head between his ears seem to among the few of his discerning features that are immediately apparent, with a notable lack of whiskers or visible scars despite his biology and profession, respectively. He sports a sleeveless green jumpsuit complimented by a small red scarf, along with rounded combat boots and fingerless gloves; both of which are lightly armored and accented in red. Variably included in his outfit are a fitted, low-profile comms helmet, equipped with a retractable green eyepiece of speculative application, and his trademark padded white/grey flight jacket with sleeves rolled into cuffs at his forearms. More consistently, however, he is always openly, visibly armed with his trusted blaster and reflector at each side of his belt, as he never goes anywhere without them (not since Sauria, anyways) and will not quietly forfeit, remove, or otherwise forego them for any reason. It goes without saying that he simply likes to be prepared for anything.

[b]Personality:[/b] Calm, brave, competent, and dedicated, Fox is a natural-born leader. Having been raised on the very simple idea to “never give up,” he has since carried with him a commanding, indomitable will throughout his entire life. With this came a certain sense of moral responsibility to the universe; to fight for what’s right. He has a very collective, serious nature about him, but he knows when to lighten up and enjoy himself. With a penchant for brash, bold, daring antics that all but erase the line between fearlessness and outright insanity, he tends to have an air of arrogance and overconfidence about him with an undertone of immaturity. Regardless, he’s never one to back down - even in the face of seemingly impossible adversity - and when his friends, loved ones, or any others in need are counting on him, he will do anything and everything in his power to pull through for their sakes.

[b]Game:[/b] Star Fox series, Super Smash Bros.

[b]Current Story:[/b] Following the Subspace Incident, things have been relatively quiet. The incidental decline in urgent threats has lead to a near cessation of team Star Fox activity, followed by its unofficial disbanding. This seemed for the better, of course, as it gave them much needed relief from militaristic heroics to adjourn to their own lives; whatever they may entail. For Fox, however, it doesn't feel so simple. After everything he’s lived through, how could it be?


As a long-time returning participant in semi-annual Smash events, it was no secret to him that there are other worlds out there, but he had never before considered that other, greater threats came with them. The battle with Tabuu, one that took the combined efforts of many heroes (and villains) to win, opened up the possibility that there is always something worse out there, and whatever it may be, it [i]will[/i] come. This has left him in a lingering state of unease that compels him to return to his old life and seek out such threats wherever they may hide and eliminate them, even if he has to do it alone. This has placed a concerning amount of strain on his relationship with Krystal, much to their shared dismay, which makes their protracted attempt at a peaceful, settled life considerably more difficult. That being said, the multiverse seems to have gotten along fine without him, so if all truly is well, perhaps it is best that he hang it up and leave his fighting days as far behind him as he can.


If only they would stay there...

[b]Weapon(s):[/b] [i]Blaster[/i] - A lightweight, rapid-fire laser pistol with a seemingly inexhaustible charge. While not immediately lethal, it is effective for dealing damage in quick succession and bursting down anyone foolish enough to be in front of it for too long. Unfortunately, in its default state, its stopping power is next to non-existent against sturdier targets, so it cannot always be relied on as a primary means of offense or defense.


[i]Reflector[/i] - A compact, portable barrier emitter that encompasses the user in a hexagonal field of pulsating energy capable of reflecting most forms of ballistic or energy-based projectiles or other non-physical attacks as well as repelling and damaging enemies within its AOE when activated. Reflected attacks are also returned with slightly increased energy. However, it cannot protect the user from physical force, and there are limits to what it can reflect as well as how much it can withstand at a time before “breaking”.

[b]General Abilities[/b]

[i]Illusion[/i] - Fox performs an illusory forward dash at such speed that translucent afterimages of him are left behind, traversing a moderate distance in an instant. Good for making quick escapes or closing gaps between targets. Can also lightly damage/stun enemies upon contact.

[b]Strengths[/b]


[i]Adept Pilot[/i] - Land, air, sea, space; Fox has seamlessly conquered every terrain he has ever been placed in. If it flies, drives, swims, and (preferably) shoots, chances are he can use it to great effect, and there are only few who can rival him at it.


[i]Martial Artist[/i] - Even out of the cockpit, Fox is a more than able combatant - be it armed or hand-to-hand. He is extraordinarily quick and deceptively powerful, capable of singling out and dispatching stronger opponents than himself with surprising efficiency.


[i]Veteran[/i] - Fox has spent roughly half his life in battle with nary a loss to his name. Naturally, this comes with the knowledge and experience necessary to maintain one's composure in the heat of battle and adapt as needed to succeed.


[i]Leader[/i] - While he’s not what one would call a strategist or a tactician, he can always be counted on to step up to the mantle of leadership that has become oh-so-familiar to him. Preferring to take on a more active, direct role in combat (or whatever else), he will almost always put himself - sometimes [i]only[/i] himself - on the front line or in the dead center of the action to see a mission through; readily staking his own life before anyone else’s.

[b]Weaknesses[/b]

For all of his noteworthy capabilities, feats, and accomplishments Fox is often one of the [i]least[/i] physically, mentally, and spiritually remarkable people in the room, and he will just as often find himself accordingly outmatched; sometimes to a spectacularly overwhelming degree. On top of that he’s a fragile speedster, so his durability leaves something to be desired. His well-roundedness does little to make up for any of these shortcomings, as that comes with its own trade-off: a lack of specialty. Sure, he can do just about anything, but there’s always someone who can do one or more of those things better. This ensures that he will always be fighting uphill in order to prevail.

*pant* *pant* Sorry this took so long. I've been caught up with all the usual end-of-year shit, so I'm a little tardy. Either way, it's finally finished. I kind of hurried it into completion, so if you have any constructive criticisms or suggested edits (too much of anything, too little, improve grammar, phrasing, etc.), please, feel free to offer them. I look to better myself at this, so I welcome any and all helpful input. (This goes for anyone else reading this as well.)
