So, what do you think? Join the challenge by piloting your own ship? With your own character? With your own team, squadron?
Its an idea I got from other forums. Each member creates a character to RP in the Universe of Lylat, without necessarily using its characters.
As you know, and you don't need to know much about Starfox to know this, the series has the funny habit of making characters animals. However, you're not stricted to animals, (although no humans) and you can create other species (such as they created the Anglars, Aparoids, etc..)
So, you can pretty much imagine what might come out.
The storyline is yet to be defined, so, for now, give your randomness your best shot.
There's this small form to fill though.

Name: Adrian Starr
Nicknames: Crimson Angel (To enemies), Starheart (Callsign)
Age: 19
Species: Vuulpine
History: Born on the rough streets of Corneria, Adrian found refuge with a gang led by Falco Lombardi at a yound age. Soon after Falco left to join the academy, Adrian and the gang were forced onto a Cornerian military base when Andross attacked. Once there, Adrian climbed into a hole in a wall, only to find that it was the cockpit of the army's newest humanoid weapon. Feeling there was little choice left, Adrian piloted it, successfully destroying several enemy units. He received a chance to go to the academy, and graduated three years later, one of the youngest graduates in history. He received a cruiser, which he christened the White Fang, and a crew, and set off to defend order in the Lylat System...
Description: Adrian stands about six feet tall, with a thin, emaciated form. His fur is dominantly black, save for firey red patches on his hands and around his eyes and back. He favors wearing a black denim coat with a fake fur inside, as well as a black net shirt and black jeans. Not much of one for decorum, he rarely wears his military uniform save for formal occasions. Personality wise, he is a wisecracking, laid-back young tough with a heart of gold, and a soft spot for Krystal.
Craft: ARX-715 "Seraph"
A blood-red humanoid mobile frame, with superior maneuverability and speed. The humanoid build also affords superior flexibility, as the unit can be equipped with weapons as the need arises.
Armarments:
2x Integrated beam gatlings (Forearms)
2x Integrated vulcan cannons (Head)
1x Beam Custom Saber (Hip)--Essentially, a contained laser, Adrian modified the design to cycle the beam rapidly, creating the equivalent of a laser chainsaw. --OPT
2x Shoulder missile racks
1 or 2x Rapid-fire beam rifles (Hand)--OPT
1x Hi-Mega Launcher (Hand)--OPT
Planet of Origin: Corneria

Calls Falco "Boss"

Name: Wilhelm Adavant
Nickname: Will
Age: 18
Species: Siberian Husky
History: Will entered the Flight Academy at a very young age, planning to win over the lost years in Cornerian High Schools. He left his home to study at the academy, where he still has piloting classes. Will lost his mother very early as well, and never speaks about it, and left his father because of his criminal attitude. Also, Will dreams of making up his own team, but can't since his studies don't allow him. Things might be about to change... (More to tell)
Description (Physical and Psychological): Will's fur is white on the facial markings and tail tip, being black on most of the other parts of his body, and is commonly seen wearing a black pilot jacket and sunglasses. Bright blue eyes. He is well-natured, and doesn't lose his calm very easily, although he may get twisted off sometimes when certain aspects about him are mentioned. He normally assumes a humourous character that can alternate between seriousness and playfulness.
Craft: Airwing Fighter - A variation of the popular Starfox Team Arwing, the Airwing features faster engines and instant double plasma cannons. Its hull can support up to two bombs, however. The craft was made by his mother, who was a great pilot in the Academy.
Planet of Origin: Corneria.
Other Details: Likes cold temperatures in opposition to the warm climate of Corneria.
-
Nice Character, Explorer! So, how long should we wait to see if anyone more will join?
-
Thanks! Yours is good, too!
As for time... I don't know, let's hang back just some hours or another day, if no-one else joins, maybe starting it up will appeal.
-
Sign me up if you still have room!
Name: Joven Hawke
Nickname: Hawk (to friends), Raven 1 (callsign)
Age: 20
Species: Border Collie
History: As his family had served in the wars beforehand, Joven wanted to continue his heritage by joining the Flight Academy. His skills has quickly brought him to the lead of the pack, so now as he prepares for battle, very high expectations weigh on his shoulders...
Description: 6', lightweight build, long black fur w/ white over muzzle, paws, underside, & tail, brown eyes, standard Cornerian flight jacket, steel blue sunglasses. Although very inquisitive and confident in his abilities, he can be overly serious about anything and perhaps a little self-centered. But he knows very well with the importance of teamwork and will allow help if he needs it.
Craft: Standard Arwing Fighter
Planet of Origin: Corneria
Other Details: Calls all superiors "Sir", calls rookies "Pup", calls equals "teammate".
-
Of course there's space. Anyone can enter as of now.
-
Can I join???
Name: Jason Grey (Son of Bill Grey and Fay Spaniel)
Nickname: Shades
Age: 12
Species: Husky/spaniel mix
History:
Description (Physical and Psychological): Mostly gray fur, aside from his tail and muzzle which are white as snow. He likes to wear his fathers shades that were passed down to him almost every waking hour. He's been known to be kind, compassionate, but cocky arrogant and easily angered when a mission doesn't go his way. He is fairly thin, but by no means weak...he can hold his own in a fight.
Craft: Customized Cornarian starfighter
Planet of Origin: Katina
Other Details:
-
Of course, you're in!
-
I've been thinking... how about the menace not being someone, but something? Instead of being someone, which would require for someone to act the antagonist role, we make it just a big thing that poses a big menace. Then, in the way, there might be some guys with evil intentions, but not the main.
-
That's a pretty good call! I like the idea. But now the question begs...what kind of big thing are we talking about? An invasion? A Galactic Civil war?
-
That'd be a good idea. An invasion would be easier to RP, much more than a war because it would be much more of a frenzy. And an invasion would give the teams a reason to travel.
-
Ok, so, we've got to get this moving! We'll be needing someone to get to RP the enemy. Maybe two. I'll put myself to it and I'll do one of them, but we'll still need more. Then, the only thing left to do is to get the invasion planned.
Also, the team's name is set, I suppose? It's Green Squadron, correct?
-
Yes, Green Squadron is correct!
And I'd be proud to play one of the many boss like enemies. Now to plan the invasion.
-
We could also make something like an organization using these characters. I'm trying to make a character to use as one of the commanders, but, will see.
So, about the invasion. Corneria's been struck, so that would mean a few barriers - such as the outposts in nearby planets - have been breached. This would also mean that those planets have been taken. Also, one of the characters mentioned activities in one of the nebula's, so I think one of the headquarters for that organization I said could be hidden inside.
Right now, Corneria is under attack, so probably we'll be having a swarm of low strength fighters coming in.
-
One question, are we using the Star Fox Team (Fox, Falco, Slippy, Krystal) in this at all?
-
We don't have to, but one of roleplayers here already used Bill Grey, so, people can either use them or not.
-
Well, if no one objects I'll play as Fox, and Krystal
and Congrats on 1000 posts!
-
Thanks there, eheh!
And surely, do come in!

Name:fox McCloud
Age: 35
Species Fox
History:legendary leader of the Star Fox team, Fox has saved the Lylat System on numerous occassions. he's a mercenary, so his numerous dangerous missions have not come cheap for the Conerian Generals. Save the system, get paid, big time..
Description. Around 6 feet tall, with a sharp nose and green eyes, usually wears a green jacket and carries his trusty blaster at his side
Craft: Arwing
Home Planet: Corneria
-
I'd love to join, if you guys still have room! I won't be able to start until after spring break, though, which is next week. I hope that's alright!
-
of course we have room! What character or characters will you be playing..
-
Guess... I'll try to play as Falco and maybe one of the bosses, then.
-
Alright Starfall.. who whats to be Slippy?
-
I could play as Slippy and a OC, if you guys are willing to wait a bit for Slippy :p If that's okay, I should have my character profiles up after break.
-
Thats fine, we could have him off on a date with Amanda.
-
Hmm, this is getting good. I'll have my bad guy's profile posted soon, too.
-
Sometimes these roleplays take time before they come together..
-
Indeed.
Also, here's my enemy, Albus Viridis.
Name: Albus Viridis
Nickname: None
Age: 41
Species: Eagle
History: Albus was already a pilot even when Andross's invasion took place. However, he was held imprisioned, and those who had put him in later joined him. When Andross was defeated, Albus and his followers flew away, preparing another mass invasion to Corneria. However, this time there was no place for mistakes. They would have to do it clean in the spot.
Description (Physical and Psychological): Albus constantly wears a black suit cloaked by a blue mantle with the Cornerian Army insignias. The suit spreads out to the boots, and allows multiple materials to be put around the waist. His faint gray eyes match with his white feathers, and with his apparently calm personality. However, he only does this as a cover: he is a rude person when he doesn't need any kind of cover, and barely says anything he doesnt need to.
Craft:
Planet of Origin: Unknown
-
A minor bump into the OOC topic. Are you still interested in joining, Darkwolf? Just as reminder, nothing else, since I've made a post in the RP recently, and I think we might get this on the move again if the fight keeps up the pace.
-
I've added a blurb to show what Fox and his team are doing..
-
Looks good. Okay, so we'll be needing a villain team to counter the Green Squadron.
-
Have you heard from Kenji lately? he hasn't been on since February.
-
Hmm, no, I haven't. Hasn't he left some kind of note? Maybe he's out for some time.
-
No, he didn't make any mention of being away. I'd send him a pm if I were you..
-
Hm, but if he hasn't been on for that long, I'd rather send an email.
-
whatever works for you :)
-
Sorry it's taking me so long to post character profiles, guys! I haven't forgotten :lol
Just gotta iron out a few more details about my OC.
-
No rush, take as long as you need.
-
Here it is, finally! I'll post Slippy's in a bit.
Name: Tessarey Leah
Nicknames: Most commonly referred to as Rey, or in more formal situations Leah. Some people prefer Tess or Tessa, but she's rarely called that. In-Flight "Seabird."
Age: 20
Species: Iguana
History: Rey was born and raised on Zoness. Her family owned a popular sea-plane tour business, and she was trained to pilot the crafts from a young age. However, as she grew older it became apparent that her impulsive, unpredictable flight style would not exactly lend itself well to tour flights. Nobody knew exactly what to do with her after that, and so she hung around doing odd jobs in-house and experimenting with sea-plane flight in her spare time, which she had plenty of. Her family grew frustrated at the mysterious scratches and dents found constantly on the prized company planes, along with the not-so-mysterious occasional wrecks. Rey was bored, restless and annoyed at the constant tensions springing up within her clan. Unfortunately, this point in time marks Andross's invasion and desecraton of Zoness. Rey and a portion of her family escaped to Corneria, but all of her closest of kin, except for her older brother, were killed. She moped for a while, but found a renewed purpose in the war effort. After a lot of poking around and offering her services wherever they were needed, she discovered and was accepted into the Flight Academy. Thanks to Fox McCloud's famous coup, the brunt of the war ended long before she completed her training. She graduated very recently and mostly still hangs around the academy, unsure of quite where to go from there.
Description: Tessarey is 5'10", light grey-brown and grey in coloration with a few small ridges of white scales around her face and a ridge of longer blue-grey scales along the back of her neck and head. When she's not in a flight suit she'll probably be wearing an old vest and close-fitting full length pants. She's very eager and enthusiastic, always ready to spring into action. She's very intuitive, but usually jumps the gun, reacting to things before she's given herself any time to consider them.
Craft: Standard Cornerian Starfighter, named "Seabird," emblazoned with a personal insignia.
Planet of Origin: Zoness
Other Details:
Gets into a bit of trouble sometimes due to her impulsive, jerky flight style. Extremely nimble and keeps foes on their toes, but unfortunately often keeps her allies on their toes as well, as she's hard-pressed to keep in formation.
-
Very nice, Darkwolf! Needless to say, you're in! :D
-
Thanks! I'll keep an eye on the RP and jump in at an opportune moment :)
And here's Slippy's! Sorry it's not as in-depth, I don't know quite as much about Slippy :lol
Name: Slippy Toad
Age: 31
Species Frog
History: Slippy was Fox McCloud's childhood friend. He has been the Star Fox team's mechanic and engineer for its entire duration. He isn't a spectacular pilot, and at one point forsook flight duty to focus more on mechanics, but he currently flies missions with the team on a regular basis.
Description: About 4'6" tall with green and pale yellow skin and blue eyes. He usually wears a yellow jumpsuit with black boots and gloves. Slippy's pretty chipper and cheerful and usually serves to boost the team's morale.
Craft: Arwing
Home Planet: Corneria
-
It's understandable, but not much depth is needed for characters which were original to the series, I suppose.

I know, I've continued the tale.
-
thanks. welcome aboard belmont..
-
Its an honor, Sir :)
-
so what planet should we head to next? in Star Fox 64 if you chose the aquus path your only route was to zoness
-
I have a few suggestions:
Fichina
Sauria
The magma planet from Star Fox 64(I forget the name)
Fortuna
Venom
Zoness(as you said)
-
Solar was the sun of the system in 64. as Slippy said the arwing can take temps of 7000 degrees.
-
That could make for an interesting scene.
-
yes quite interesting. is samuel going to be your only character.
-
Hey, you guys got room for another player? I love Star Fox so I think this would be perfect for me.
-
you're welcome to join in LBTfan. what characters do you want?
-
Which ones have been taken already? If he hasn't been taken yet, I was hoping to get either Wolf or Falco.
-
Sure You can have Falco. I've been playing him to date, but you're welcome to have him..
-
yes quite interesting. is samuel going to be your only character.
Who knows, maybe I could play one of the members of Star Wolf if they are added to the RP.
-
Sure, you can't have a Star Fox rp without Star Wolf. They'll be brought in..
-
Would it be possible if somebody posted a quick summary of what's been going on so far, so I know what direction to take Falco through? I don't want to post something that puts it in a different story or whatnot.
-
Alright! Great to have ya in on this one Rob!
Team StarFox along with Bill Grey, Katt Monroe, Fey and Miyu are all on the planet Aquas. Fox, krystal and several other characters have just raised an ancient city from the bottom of the ocean floor, but with it has come a terrible evil force. While Fox and the others are trying to return to the Great Fox, at least one character has begun fighting the dark force in space.
Falco for his part is currently onboard Great Fox, along with Bill, Katt, Fey, and Miyu trying to come up with a plan to fight the creature.

-
