Star Fox (series)/Characters: Difference between revisions

Updated
(Nothing even remotely hints at Falco or Wolf's sexuality in any form of official Starfox media. At most, Falco MAY be asexual, though there are hints he had feelings for Katt too.)

'''Fara Phoenix'''<br />ファラ・フェニックス<br />''<small>Fara Fenikkusu</small>''
 
Fara was introduced in the comic series for the [[Star Fox (video game)|Super NES game]], and besides a brief [[Cameo]] in an early beta of ''[[Vaporware|Star Fox 2]]'', she [[Canon Discontinuity|never made another official appearance]], and didn't appear in ''[[Continuity Reboot|Star Fox 64]]'' onwards.
 
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: There's still hope she may appear someday.

== Since ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' ==
When ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' was finally made ([[Vaporware|and not released for over two decades]]), Fara made no appearance, but Miyu and Fay were there instead. Since there were two of them—both female—it also at least partially averted [[The Smurfette Principle]]. Neither they nor Fara survived the [[Continuity Reboot]]. Star Wolf made its first appearance (with Algae and without Andrew), but were heavily remodeled for ''[[Star Fox 64]]''.

Line 456:
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: A ruggedly handsome anthro wolf who exclusively wears leather outfits. To say furry fans love him is the understatement of the century.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Wolf's [[Costume Porn]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Brawl]]'' is a [[Shout-Out]] to his outfit in the then [[Vaporware]] ''[[Star Fox 2]]'', down to the vest and the [[Spikes of Villainy]]. It has also proven (in various [[Shirtless Scene|states of undress]]) to be his most popular outfit in fanart, where it helps accentuate his [[Memetic Sex God]] status among certain parts of the fanbase.
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: During their [[Enemy Mine]] moments, Wolf gives Fox guidance.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: This is why he won't let the Aparoids kill Fox in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]''.
Line 508:
Lev Liberman (''[[Star Fox Assault]]'') }}
 
Pigma was a member of the original Star Fox team, but betrayed James to Andross and later joined Star Wolf. He is a grotesque money-grubber, who was kicked out of Star Wolf just before ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]''. He tried to profit off of the Aparoid invasion by stealing the Core Memory of a dead Aparoid, {{spoiler|but it corrupted him, and he became assimilated into the hive mind}}. He later returns in ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'', {{spoiler|having survived by keeping his consciousness in a giant cube}}.
 
* {{spoiler|[[Asshole Victim]]}}: {{spoiler|While his assimilation into the Aparoid hivemind is disturbing to the point that even the Star Fox team are horrified by his fate, it's exactly what he deserved for his cruel and treacherous nature}}.
* [[Body Horror]]: {{spoiler|This is generally expected to happen with anything infected by the Aparoids, but Pigma is by far the most advanced case of the Lylatians that had been infected}}.
* [[Everything Is Messier With Pigs]]: Just look at the guy!
* [[Evil Former Friend]]: To James and Peppy. Given how close Star Fox team members are generally implied to be, it's entirely possible he was very familiar amongst their families as well, which would have included Fox. And then he ended up becoming greedy enough to willingly lure his friends and teammates into a death trap because he wasn't quite satisfied with the money he was receiving, and Andross paid him better.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: In the [[Backstory]].
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Then again, his species isn't known for being picky eaters.
* {{spoiler|[[Fate Worse Than Death]]}}: {{spoiler|Being assimilated in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]'', being destroyed, and yet not dying.}}
* [[The Friend Nobody Likes]]: While he's more competent than Andrew, he was also given the boot because he was a greedy and duplicitous asshole. After all, he sold out his best friends for cash. Who's to say that he wouldn't do the same to his new ones?
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Pigma seems to have three symmetrical scars on his forehead during ''Assault''. Given how by this time he was forcefully kicked out of Star Wolf and chased off, and that the leader of said team is not afraid of using his claws in a fight, it's a safe assumption of just where he received them.
* [[Gonk]]: Even by anthro standards. And there are plenty of good-looking porcine anthros.
* [[Greed]]: His most defining trait, and what made him betray Star Fox and eventually get kicked out of Star Wolf after even they had problems with it.
** By the time of the ambiguously canon ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', however, he pretty much devolved to having [[Revenge]] as havingbeing a defining trait of his.
* [[Hate Sink]]: He's a repulsive swine in both the literal and figurative sense, and is disgustingly proud of betraying and murdering James McCloud to the point that he taunts his son by making fun of his ''dying screams''. If there's anyone onin Star Wolf that you'll want to shoot down, it's ''him''.
* [[Jerkass]]: Murderous traitor and willing henchman to an intergalactic terrorist aside, he's an utter ''ass'' to his enemies.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: His response to Fox telling him not to steal the core memory.
Line 528 ⟶ 530:
* [[Large Ham]]: No [[Pun]] intended. He shines in ''64'' as the hammiest character, and that's saying a ''lot''.
* [[Laughing Mad]]: By the time of ''[[Star Fox Assault]]'', he seems to have lost a lot of his sanity, as about half of his speakable appearances is him laughing, and it is eventually topped when {{spoiler|he ends up Aparoidized.}}
* [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous]]: {{spoiler|His Aparoid form in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]''}}.
* [[Pig Man]]: [[Captain Obvious|Duh!]]
* [[Pragmatic Villainy]]: Although he intended to use the Core Memory to make himself rich, he certainly did not intend to actually work with the Aparoids, since obviously obeying them would have meant turning down a profit.
Line 538 ⟶ 540:
* [[Puzzle Boss]]: In ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]''.
* [[Shout-Out]]: His last name is a reference to one of the bounty hunters in [[The Empire Strikes Back]].
* [[The Sociopath]]: Loyalty, empathy, and kindness are alien concepts to Pigma. He's a greedy and sadistic slob who only cares about money, and he'll happily throw even his closest friends to the wolves if it means he'll make a quick buck. And if that wasn't bad enough, he'll ''brag'' about it, to boot.
* [[Step Three: Profit]]: It's not exactly clear what he planned to do with the Core Memory. He just thought it would make him rich.
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: Yells "This CAN'T be happening!" if defeated on Venom.
* {{spoiler|[[Unexplained Recovery]]}}: {{spoiler|His appearance in ''Command''. Unlike Andrew, who has at least some leeway for his reappearance, Pigma was completely ''atomised'' in an explosion during ''Assault'', calling his reappearance in ''Command'' into further question. He also seems to have a body that is still based on the one he got while under Aparoid possession, yet the Aparoids were completely, utterly wiped out at the climax of ''Assault'', meaning that even if he did survive his body imploding on itself, unless he hadn't been completely assimilated, he more than likely would have been killed then instead. Then again, there's ''Command's'' [[Canon Discontinuity|deemed status]] in the series, as well as the fact Pigma considered Star Wolf to be true friends of his, despite the fact Wolf kicked him out (and apparently attacked him) [[Even Evil Has Standards|because they couldn't stand the greedy bastard]], and it seems easier to just consider him deceased for now.}}
* [[Vocal Evolution]]: He originally had a shrill and high-pitched voice in ''64'', which changed to a gruffgruffer, deeper voice in ''Assault''. As some fans would put it, he went from sounding like a squealing pig to a snorting pig. As of ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'', he's back to sounding the way he used to, which would carry over into {{spoiler|Star Fox Guard}} and ''[[Starlink: Battle For Atlas]]''.

== Since ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' ==
This was the [[Continuity Reboot]]. Some characters were dropped, renamed, or remodeled.
Line 624 ⟶ 628:
* [[Pink Means Feminine]]: Before her [[Race Lift]].
* [[Race Lift]]: Changing colors and cat breeds between ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco|Farewell]]'' and ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]''.
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]] / [[Ship Sinking]] / [[Like Brother and Sister]]: Played straight. (Well, not entirely sure it's ''that'' kind of straight). Apparently, Falco and Katt have ''never'' been an item—Falco [[IncompatibleCelibate OrientationHero|doesn't even want a girl]]!
* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: Pink Katt ''breathed'' this trope. Besides being pink, this was heavily reflected in the way she dressed, the way she did her hair, and especially her heavy blue eyeshadow.
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: When Falco and Katt were younger, Katt used to need rescuing from trouble all the time, and Falco was the one to rescue her. But Falco not only wanted Katt to be a more self-reliant person, but also didn't appreciate Katt having a crush on him. Katt [[Xenafication|finally became a capable woman]] when Falco's absence forced her to grow up.
