This is my very first original character I ever created, back when I was 14 years old. He lives within the combined universes of Star Fox and F-Zero.

He was drawn by , so go give her some lovin's.


Bio is as follows:

Name: Antonio "Toni" Sindacco
Age: 21
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 180 lbs

Born on planet Corneria, his parents were brutally murdered by thugs who broke into their home when he was just a child.
Raised in an orphanage, he became fascinated with the legendary mercenaries known simply as Star Fox. He looked up to them, and as he grew older, one day hoped to meet them or even join them. He spent months upon months trying to design his own fighter jet like theirs, and when he eventually became too old to live at the orphanage anymore, put his plans into action.

At the age of 16, Toni had built his own jet out of junkyard parts. It was shoddy work, but had all of the necessary parts. It had two small engines, a cockpit, wings, a tailfin, and most importantly, a G-Diffuser to help it get off the ground. The only thing it currently lacked was weaponry.

However, upon testing his creation the first time, it barely floated two feet off the ground, never gaining any altitude. Feeling discouraged, he abandoned his dream of being like his heroes, Star Fox. His project was a failure, and he left it behind.

That is, until one day he was working at his new job as a busboy at a local diner, when he saw that everyone was crowded around the TV hanging up in the corner of the dining room. This new sport was being shown, an extremely fast and extremely dangerous form of racing with vehicles that hovered off the ground!

Taking a risk by quitting his job on the spot, Toni rushed back to his project. He couldn't build a fighter jet, but with the equipment he had, he could certainly convert it into a racer like he saw on the television.

Working overnight nonstop without sleep, Toni managed to convert and test his new racing machine around the junkyard. It was perfect, so he decided to buy into the race tournament with what money he made as a busboy. Much to his surprise, his little junkyard racer managed to qualify, to the chagrin of the other racers.

Everyone's vehicle had a unique name. "Blue Falcon" "Gold Fox" "Space Angler" "Little Wyvern". Toni decided to name his "Steel Vortex". The number assigned to him was 41, as there were already 40 other racers on the circuit.

Toni's skill in racing was seen fairly early, though he had no previous experience other than testing his vehicle around the junkyard. Race after race, win after win, his fame and fortune skyrocketed. He earned quite a few nicknames too, but the one he heard most was "The Underdog". Coming from seemingly nowhere and suddenly blowing everyone away with his skill and speed, he felt this name was rather appropriate.

Toni, for a brief few years, was on top of the universe. The fame, the fortune, the attention and thrill of the race... was destined to come crashing down. Pride always seems to come before the fall, doesn't it?
