Biography
Fox McCloud
Overview
Personality and attributes
Ever since they were fellow students in the Cornerian Flight Academy, and later fellow members of the Star Fox team, Slippy Toad has always been one of Fox's truest friends. Compared to the rest of his teammates, Fox is more tolerant of Slippy, always saving him when he's in trouble, and doesn't show annoyance towards his antics like Falco (and Peppy, to an extent). He never doubted Slippy despite his worse flying skills compared to himself and the others, and in Star Fox 64, if Slippy gets hit by Spyborg in an attempt to help him and ends up crash landing on Titania, Fox takes a dangerous detour to save him, refusing to leave him behind and ignoring General Pepper's objections, saying "I can't leave Slippy hanging!". In turn, Slippy is very loyal to Fox and the second most active member in the team, and his help, by creating technological gadgets or vehicles, or analyzing particularly tough enemies, greatly contributed to Fox's success. Fox does however sometimes get irritated at Slippy's lighthearted recklessness, such as when throwing a wrench to turn off the jukebox in Adventures, and when showing admiration for the Aparoid City decoration. Before their mission to save Sauria, Fox beat Slippy at his own flight simulator, finding Slippy to be a lame competitor for him compared to the absent Falco Lombardi.
Peppy Hare is a family friend of Fox, as well as his mentor and his father figure, since he himself was a member of the original Star Fox Team formerly lead by James McCloud. Since Peppy had no son of his own, he effectively became a second father to Fox, taking him under his protection after the disappearance of his father James and assisted him with his precious advice as they work together. Peppy often showed pride towards Fox, praising him in his many successes, and his wisdom and experience greatly helped the team in general. When Peppy sacrificed himself in Star Fox Assault, the possibility of losing the one who had been like a second father to him left Fox so saddened, upset and horrified that he was on the verge of crying and almost gave up, but he had to accept it and stay strong for his team to make sure his sacrifice was not in vain. Fortunately, after they won the final battle, Peppy came back alive, and it turns out that deep down, Fox had a feeling he would survive.
Powers and abilities
Because of the influence of his upbringing, Fox was been trained his entire life, by his father and the Cornerian Academy. He was at the top of his class and could fly circles around a flea as well as endure days of gravity training. His behavior influenced a more rowdy Falco Lombardi to become enrolled into earning his wings as well, and his own skills ultimately being very similar to Fox's.
