Characters from the Sage

[Blaze the Sage]

Name: Jacob "Spots" Toranis

Age: 30 (as of the beginning of the fanfiction entitled "The Shadows' Claws")

Race: Cheetah

Origin: Born on Corneria, raised on Zoness.

Home: Zoness

Sex: Male

Build: Athletic

Eyes: Blue

Family: None (Parents deceased during/after the Lylat Wars, no siblings)

Personality: Confident and competitive. Jacob thinks tactically, but occasionally allows this to be overruled in favor of a more anger-fueled thought process. Fiercely loyal to his friends, but quick to speak out against them if they upset him. Above all else, he is a speed freak, and loves few things more than simply going for a joyride in his personal fighter craft.

Clothes: Casually, he can be seen in simple t-shirts and jeans, but is more often seen in a grey flight suit, and a black synth leather trenchcoat, and is rarely seen without a pair of shades, whether he's wearing them or not.

Weapon of choice: Two twin miniature blasters holstered at his waist. They cannot charge up their shots like full-sized Blasters, however.

Achievements of Note: Aside from designing his ship, the Spotflash, Jacob Toranis ended up arriving on Zoness during the Lylat Wars after Star Fox had already made their assault and departed (having himself been on Corneria for a number of reasons), and after a brief deception, was captured by forces outside the areas of Star Fox's assault. He then escaped the complex, destroying it in the process, together with the plans for an experimental weapon used in his own capture. Jacob dislikes even thinking about this particular series of events.

-----

Personal Fighter Craft: The Spotflash. Complete custom design, every inch built for both speed and manouverability at the cost of weak firepower. A unique arrangement and layout of the G-diffuser systems allows for a very high top speed, and break-neck acceleration, among other things.

Sports a single laser cannon with a single-target lock. Secondary Weapon is another custom design - designated "Flash Charges", a compact, custom launcher fires small charges that, aside from creating an intensely bright flash upon detonation, also temporarily scramble radar and jam all radio communications in affected ships, as well as some effects to AI systems. Piloting systems are barely effected, though some targetting AI's are quite vulnerable to the weapon's effects - previous encounters with one Ivanovitch "Bearhart" Orsane have resulted in, aside from other ship-based damage, entirely disabled targeting systems that required physical repair to reactivate.

The Spotflash is very small, with a very thin, sleek shape, and possesses weak shielding as well, instead relying on not getting hit in the first place. In matching with its pilot, the Spotflash has a tan coloring, with highlights and details/patterns done in black.

EDIT: More characters will come when I'm not about to go to sleep due to it being 3 AM. Also, hello SFO! *gives a new-guy-wave*

[The Shaper]

I have to say, I'm impressed with this character. Especially since you made in in such a short time and have only been with us for a few hours, welcome to the site and have fun with the role playing.

Hey Nick, your up next.

[Fluxy]

Now, you must have had previous experience Role Playing before, because this being on your first try is just BS. XDD

But anywho, I love how good it is for a first entry. It is really good overall. =] And welcome to SFO. Have a great stay here.

And lol, Emp. Nice call.

[Blaze the Sage]

Yeah, I admit it. I've been RP-ing in various settings with various characters for years. And this guy... he's actually a character from a fanfic thing I wrote a year or two ago (and rewrote, over the past few weeks, the parts I got done). After a few chapters, my creative juices ran low, and a friend offered to write a few chapters, and he did -really- well. The next thing I was going to do was actually post that, the story itself or maybe just... I dunno, link to it and let people go check it out.

[Fluxy]

There are fan fic people here for sure if you wanna post 'em up. People would surly read it, and if you ask for responses, I am sure you will get quite a few. =]

[Blaze the Sage]

Name: Ivanovitch "Bearhart" Orsane

Age: 42 (as of the beginning of the fanfiction entitled "The Shadows' Claws")

Race: Brown Bear

Origin: Macbeth

Home: Heracles-class Super-Carrier designated "The Brick"

Sex: Male

Build: ...Let's just call him "Heavy", shall we?

Eyes: Blue

Family: Kiara (wife).

Personality: Absolute confidence and stern, skilled leadership. Perhaps one of his greatest assets as a leader is that confidence, combined with his willingness to seek the advice and opinions of others. He likes to make a show of strength, and the brute power he can put out, either personally or in his fighter craft, but he also puts a high value in tactical knowledge.

On the job, he is all-business, and takes his duty seriously, avoiding getting into personal discussions. Outside the battlefield, however, he tends to show a soft side, and some occasional bitter humor.

Clothes: Casually, can be seen in plain civilian clothes, most often some shade of red or purple. Professionally he wears a standard flight suit, with a purple bandana tied around his neck.

Weapon of choice: Custom, Extra-large Blaster Rifle. Capable of holding stronger charged shots, and holding the charge longer without damaging the weapon, however, rate of fire suffers greatly as a result.

Achievements of Note: He owns a Heracles-class Super-Carrier capable of holding 500+ fighter craft, and manages to keep it functional (if several years overdue for an overhaul in major systems to bring it up to current standards, and missing certain crucial elements to keep it actually conflict-worthy) on Mercenary salary. If that's not an accomplishment, I don't know what is. He refuses to speak on how or why he acquired such a behemoth for such a small team.

"Bearhart" is also the leader of a small three-craft mercenary Fighter Squadron that ends up in frequent encounters with one Jacob "Spots" Toranis, both on opposite sides, and working alongside each other.

-----

Personal Fighter Craft: The Ursa Major. A heavy firepower craft originally designed for use as a bomber. While a relatively slow and sluggish craft, its shields are powerful, and it has simply devastating firepower.

It is armed with Two Plasma Cannons with a very high rate of fire, assisted by a Targetting Computer complete with AI and multi-lock functionality, capable of rotating to a degree, though mostly from aiming down to aiming forward, though there is a limited amount of horizontal manouverability as well. The Ursa Major also features a Smart Bomb launcher with the same functionality.

[Blaze the Sage]

Name: Scrap Tarmac

Age: 22 (as of the beginning of the fanfiction entitled "The Shadows' Claws")

Race: Squirrel

Origin: Zoness

Home: Zoness

Sex: Male

Build: Short and wiry. A mass of short, matted, oily, singed fur.

Eyes: Brown, but usually hidden behind large goggles.

Family: Mother and Father, still living on Zoness. Rarely seen due to mutually horribly busy schedules.

Personality: Highly eccentric, excitable, cheery, and quite hyperactive.

Clothes: His choice of casual clothing is a mystery, as he's never really seen in casual situations. Not intentionally, anyway. When not wearing a rather poorly kept flight suit, he's seen in a garb that give him a bit of a "mad scientist" look; an engineer's HEV suit, with a mechanics tool apron and a powered utility gauntlet, topped with a many-sizes-too-large lab coat, and a pair of multi-spectrum goggles that cover nearly half of his head.

Weapon of choice: "Uhh... a fight? Me? You sure?" If forced into a fight, he'll go for whatever's available, though he'd prefer not to be directly involved in the fighting itself. He's support, that's it. Though if so inclined, he may use his utility gauntlet if he finds himself in close quarters.

Achievements of Note: In school, he managed to detonate an explosive device that had had all of its explosive components removed. No major harm was done, but everyone remains quite baffled to this day - particularly Scrap. He also designed and built his "fighter" craft, though that designation may be misleading.

He is a brilliant mind, and an aspiring inventor, and an incredible mechanical mind with a great deal of creativity.

-----

Personal Fighter Craft: The Hightail. The "fighter" designation is misleading, as the Hightail actually carries no offensive weaponry. It is instead designed as a support craft, carrying supplies with a system that allows them to either be utilized for a sudden, massive(though short-lived) burst of speed, or deployed in a manner that allows friendlies to collect them to supplement their own supplies. This can be fuel, ammunition for secondary weapons such as Smart Bomb Launchers, or even a temporary attachment designed to repair damaged wings.

The Hightail also features powerful scanners with a sensor mast attached to the front of the ship to increase power and range, as well as a targetting computer - though rather than using the data from it, as the Hightail has no weapons, it instead transmits the data to allies to supplement their own targetting systems.

As a final feature, the Hightail also carries ECM (Electronic Counter Measures). The Hightail, and nearby allies are, as a result, highly difficult for targetting computers to lock onto, and seeking missiles become rather ineffectual as well.

Because of all these features, it's a fairly bulky craft, though it has a powerful engine to propel it at decent speeds.

Final Notes: Scrap has a very high-pitched voice, as well as a heavy lisp, making for a very comical effect, and can make it hard to take him seriously... until you realize exactly what he's saying.

[Blaze the Sage]

...I think I'll just leave this here.

[Blaze the Sage]

Name: Talon Fontal

Age: 33 (as of the beginning of the fanfiction entitled "The Shadows' Claws")

Race: Red-tailed Hawk

Origin: Corneria

Home: Heracles-class Super-Carrier designated "The Brick"

Sex: Male

Build: Athletic

Eyes: Blue

Family: Mother (Nurse), Father (Commercial/Civilian pilot), Alice (younger sister)

Personality: Self-confident and proud, with a strong dose of realism. He's quick to point out the mistakes of others, and quick to admit his own faults. He's picked up a small mischievous streak from his teammate Rudy, and the two frequently get embroiled in small games or bets between each other when off-duty.

Clothes: Plain blue flight suit. Casually wears jeans and a plain t-shirt.

Weapon of choice: Sniper Rifle

Achievements of Note: Phenomenal piloting skills, possibly rivalling the skills of the Star Fox team, but there are no truly outstanding achievements to list.

-----

Personal Fighter Craft: The Blood Arrow. A very standard, all-around balanced fighter with a sleek design. The Blood Arrow performs well in speed, manouverability, durability, and offensive firepower. It performs similarly to an Arwing, but the sleeker design allows for a slightly higher speed, though its cargo capacity is smaller, meaning it can't hold as much spare supplies and smart bomb ammunition.

Talon is a firm believer that one is only as strong as the weakest aspect of their ship - and that includes the pilot.

Extra note: Talon is very protective of his younger sister.


*******************


Name: Rudy Almac

Age: 36 (as of the beginning of the fanfiction entitled "The Shadows' Claws")

Race: Otter

Origin: Corneria

Home: Heracles-class Super-Carrier designated "The Brick"

Sex: Male

Build: Strong, muscular athletic build

Eyes: green

Family: Mother & Father (Marine biologists)

Personality: Easy-going and playful, Rudy loves playing jokes, making bets, and tries to make a game of nearly everything. Thick-skinned and hard to insult, Rudy can sometimes forget that other people aren't quite so good at shrugging everything off.

Clothes: Standard flight suit. He usually wears swimwear under his clothes for when the opportunity to take a dip presents itself.  Casually, he tends to bare his midriff, and wears a multicolored sarong.

Weapon of choice: Machine Gun

Achievements of Note: Before joining Bearhart's squadron, Rudy pilotted a tank for the Cornerian military, and had received an award for his performance on a few separate occasions. He also designed a rear-mounted cannon for his fighter, and arranged for it to be built and retrofitted, along with the computer systems and targetting AI required to operate it.

Also notable is that Rudy has never lost a game of poker in his life. He sees cards and card games as one of his passions, and almost always has a deck on him somewhere, often tucked in his sleeve. His favorite headwear is a red bandana decorated with beads in the shape of dice and gambling chips, and an ace of spades resting in the folds.

-----

Personal Fighter Craft: The Blue Bomber. A fair-sized fighter with above-average shielding. Engine and G-diffuser systems are standard, and so speed and handling are unremarkable, though it sports twin laser cannons.

The Blue Bomber's most notable feature is a laser cannon mounted on the rear of the craft, designed to fire at ships tailing the craft. Assisted by Targetting computer and AI, the single laser cannon carries multi-lock functionality. A favorite tactic of Rudy's is luring enemies into tailing him as closely as he can manage without risking taking too much fire, and obliterating them with the rear-mounted cannon's lock-on at a close range.

thats to cool I wish I knew how to make one of these for mine.

It is a gif. so it's like a really fast slide show so you have to edit every picture but to make it I think it would be best to use Quick time player.

Since I've been thinking about Star Fox stuff lately, may as well toss up another character here. 

 

--

 

Name: Lawrence "Streak" Alakenaire

Age: 30 (as of the beginning of the fanfiction entitled "The Shadows' Claws")

Race: Wolf

Origin: Zoness

Home: Macbeth

Sex: Male

Build: Athletic

Eyes: Brown

Family: None

Personality: While on a mission, "Streak" becomes a virtually emotionless shell of a professional operative.  However, when he finds himself around friends, or people he trusts, he drops into a friendly, casual demeanor, taking great pleasure in poking fun at his friends.  Highly observant, he's quick to notice if someone has something to hide.

Clothes: "Streak" wears a black flightsuit, with a jacket emblazoned with a flame-print pattern.

Weapon of choice: Sniper rifle in full combat situations, but more commonly uses a single blaster pistol.

Achievements of Note: Most of Lawrence's major achievements are not well-known, due to being matters of stealth and intelligence.  He is renowned among allies however for being a superb scout and spy.  He's also skilled at hacking into foreign databases. 

-----

Personal Fighter Craft: A small scout-craft named the "Prowler".  Equipped with basic weapons but a powerful stealth drive, the Prowler's primary purpose is to serve as support for the Emberstorm Squadron's weaponry, and their trump card signature attack.  Equipped with a specialized targetting equipment capable of marking specific enemy ships, or a target area to be bombarded by a massive barrage of cluster missiles, nova smartbombs and other weaponry launched by the other members of the squad.
