Description I figured since F-Zero has a samurai, I thought it would be cool if it had a ninja pilot as well. Note, I decided not to put a number on the machine since somebody else here is doing that and I did this for fun. Anyway:

Bio:
A member of the Oroboro ninja clan. Upon returning to his village from a mission, Renji was horrified to see his village in ruin with countless bodies littering the ground along with his fallen comrades. A dying member lying on the ground near Renji calls out to him and, with his last breath, tells him that a man clad in black with horns on his head was behind the attack and stole the village's sacred scrolls.

Renji immediately knew who was behind all this since he recognized the description. It was none other than Black Shadow, the king of evil. Renji vowed to avenge his clan by killing Black Shadow himself. Some time later, after a failed assassination attempt, he realizes that the only way for him to get his revenge is on the F-Zero circuit. He contacts an old freind, Toraemon Echigoya who was the creator of the Fire Stingray and the Green Panther, to build a machine for him to use in the grand prix. Thus, the Shadow Toad was born.

Him being a ninja, Renji has improved reflexes and stamina over the average human being, which he fully utilizes during races.

The name is epic, it'll look cool in kanji

I bet loads of people would use him if he were in the game; everybody loves ninjas!(at least Americans do)

Indeed they do although their depiction of them isn't entirely accurate.

"Real ninjas wear black!" is what most people here would say. Although, most people here aren't aware that an actual ninja wore regular clothes during the day and that they wore the all black outfits during the night on assassinations. That's why it bothers me when American movies show ninjas running around wearing all black in broad daylight.

Finally, some person who understands!!
Yes, the only time they wore those clothes were at night. They're suppose to blend into the shadows...heck, the kanji for "ninja" means "the one who hides"! (nin(忍)means conceal, or hide while jya(者) means a person.)

Wow, Fantastic Design i must say, both the character and the machine design! It does make sense seeing as we have Goroh that we have a Ninja.

The backstory is excellent too, i love how Renji contacted the Stingray and Panthers machine creator, such a unique little touch i wouldnt have expected myself! Really nice work .

Thanks! Like I said before, there's plenty more where that came from. I'd put more, but school is taking up most of my time at the moment (college life rules and sucks at the same time!) but i'll put more up whenever I have time.

Oh, I see. Well, I don't really do any of that. It's a long story. I'll just say that my friends ruined it for me.

Indeed. Don't worry though, it's not as bad as you think. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some sheep to count. Later.
