Description
This is Slippy Toad from Starfox 64. Personally I think Slippy is the most underappreciated character of Starfox, he builds and maintains the weapons and ships (making him pretty much in-disposable to the group), he analises shields on bosses letting them know what works and is actually Fox's best friend since childhood (that's right it's not Bill or Falco). Sure his voice has been annoying sometimes and he does get in trouble (so does EVERYONE else though) but there are much worse characters than Slip.Age: 18
Sex: Male
Species: Amphibian (seemingly a Frog rather a Toad)
Skin Colour: Light Green/ Pale Yellow in areas.
Height: 1.67sm/ 5'5''
Weight:63.50sk
The son of great inventor/scientist, Beltino Toad, Slippy became incredibly gifted with machines at even at a young age.
He quickly became friends with Fox McCloud ad both of them attended the Cornerian Flight Acedemy together along with Bill Grey. Soon after another person joined, an avian named Falco Lombardi, who despite his mockery of Slippy, became a close friend and along with Fox, protected him from any Jock who decided to take a swipe at him. It became apparent that although Slippy was a worthwhile pilot, his real talent came with inventing. As Fox put it best 'anything I can blow up, he can put back together'. His skills became very apparent after the lose of Fox's father to Andross. Slippy voluntered to join Fox along with Falco on their mission to destroy Andross and along with Falco and original member Peppy, became the new generation of the Starfox team.
Slippy's first real battle ended up with him in trouble but much like their Academy days, Fox saved his skin once more. During the battle against the first lead enemy ship, Slippy was able to analyse the level of strength in their sheilds and any potential weak spots or targets.
His usefullness continued after every battle and Slippy even seemd to have improved as a pilot, particularly on Fichina, where he destroyed a fair amount of enemy ships. None of the team were prepared for the arrival of Starwolf though and Slippy found himself in trouble once again. Fortunately, they survived their first encounter with the team (as well as any later encounters they had) and procedded onwards.
One particular mission demonstrated Slippy's usefullness with machines when on Aquas, a vehicle capable of underwater operations was required. Slippy had such a vehicle: the Blue Marine. With help from his father, Slippy had taken the mechanics used in an Arwing and placed them in a submarine. The result was a success, the machine, with Fox piloting it, completed the mission and destroyed Andross' underwater Bio-Weapon.
It was in Sector X where Slippy put himself in the most trouble. When fighting Andross' incomplete robot secret weapon, Slippy (one too many victories having gone to his head) attempted to attack the robot head on by himself. This resulted in him taking a hit from the robot's fist that knocked the systems of Slippy's Arwing offline and sent him crashing into the barren desert planet of Titania. Slippy found himself in even more trouble here, he wound up in the clutches of the Gola, a fearsome Bio-Weapon. However, help came as the rest of the team attempted a rescue mission. A shot from the Landmaster (driven by Fox) managed to free him from the Gola's claws and with his ship's systems now functioning, he took his chance and escaped. Soon after, the Gola was destroyed.
It was the final assault on Venom that took the toll on most of the team, the armada known as Area 51 was as challenging as could possibly be, but they broke through, destroying many Venom troops in the process. But Starwolf returned once again, in newer, more advanced ships, to make up for their past defeats. However they survived once again in what would be Starwolf's final defeat in the Lylat War. Afterwards, Fox left his team on the surfice of Venom, willingly going to destroy Andross alone. Slippy had no choice but to watch as Fox entered Andross' lair, uncertain if he would ever see his friend again. His worries were put to rest when Fox flew his Arwing out of Andross' lair, which exploded just as Fox cleared the opening.
They returned to Corneria as heroes and were even offered a place in the Cornerian military by General Pepper. However, in agreeance with Fox that the team preferred to do things 'their own way', Slippy left with the rest of the team to patrol the Lylat System for any threats that might appear.
Abilities/skils:
. Second-to-none as a mechanic, anything Fox can blow up Slippy can put back together
. Also adept at computer hacking and analysis
. An average pilot, still has much to learn

I actually think Slippy's better in the landmaster and on on-foot missions.

Well, I reckon he's not appreciated because he's not "hawt" or a badass...and for getting in trouble a lot
I think some people just assume Fox and Falco are the best of friends, when I never really saw that. Among the two of them, I think Fox gets along with Slippy better (not sure how it comapres to Bill--I guess Slippy is his childhood friend, and he knew Bill when he was a tween/teen). I agree, Slippy is a good guy and needs more attention...

It might look a bit messier if it were clearer but thanks for the comment. Really appreciate it.
