[RingtailedFox]

RP Name/Title: StarFox: Counterstrike!

Style: Forum

Theme: Battle/Action-Adventure/Crossover

Setting: Space, Mobius, other dimensions

Description: Unprecedented Evil has risen within the galaxy, and threatens an allied star system under Lylatian protection. If that star system falls, Corneria's next... and should Corneria fall? Farewell, Universe!

Summary: In the beginning, there were The Kitsune. They created the Universe and all life within it, from their alternate dimension (The Kitsune Realm), with the goal to seek out knowledge and no longer be lonely as a race. The designated a "protector" or "planetary guardian" for each world, a hereditary role that would be passed down from parent to child throughout the ages. For billions of years, things went along smoothly, until something somehow created a great disturbance or corruption within the Orion Arm of the Galaxy. Planets began falling one by one, like dominoes. One particular star system, Lylat, even saw its planetary guardian (James McCloud) murdered by Andross and Pigma before he could fully train his son, James "Fox" McCloud, Jr. the skills needed to defend Lylat from supernatural harm. One day, General Pepper was given disturbing news from his Kitsune superiors about the neighbouring star system collapsing from a violent techno-tyrant (Dr. Robotnik) and civil war. While the freedom fighters were waging a valiant crusade to restore their rightful King to power and restore the rule of law, they were being decimated. To make matters worse, 12,000 years before, the original inhabitants of the planet left for the stars, hopping from star system to start system, and began consuming all of their natural resources, leaving them in a state like Mars or Mercury. Now, they've come full-circle. The Mandaras (a race of giant, ten-foot-tall rabbits), have waited until Robotnik was overthrown, and now that this has happened, they've picked the time to strike. Mobius is now under attack, and the threat to Lylat is painfully clear. Should Lylat fall, there would be NO other force in the universe capable of stopping the Mandaras in their world-destroying tour of the Galaxy. With James McCloud dead, it's up to Fox McCloud to assist Sonic the Hedgehog and his Freedom Fighter friends in saving the universe.

Within The Universe, there are different planes of existance:

- Physical (the four-dimensional plane we experience), there are portals deep within each planet that link them to the Kitsune Realm, but only the Kitsunes and planetary guardian/protector can travel through them.Afterlife/Heaven/Paradise, an alternate universe/plane of reality... there are portals deep within each planet that link them to the Kitsune Realm, but only the Kitsunes and planetary guardian/protector can travel through them.

- Kitsune Realm (accessible only to Kitsunes and their friends, via special portals... this is similar to, but not the same as, hyperspace/superluminal travel)

- Kitsune Council (at the heart of the supermassive black hole in the middle of the Galaxy, this is the "core" of the Kitsune Realm... like its Headquarters, or the ultimate 'hub world', with the other planes connected via spokes)

- Afterlife (this is the "heaven" in most mythologies, only the most-powerful kitsunes can travel/traverse/transcend between the Afterlife plane and the other planes, such as Physical. Communication between normal people from Afterlife to Physical is extremely difficult and energy-consuming, and though rare, it is possible)

Goal: To defeat the Mandara invasion once and for all, and restore balance and order to the Universe.
