*makes Stratn a cookie*

Well, since there's been close to zero progress on both E:JF and SoT since I updated them last, here's a few new characters for you to look at.

Name: Fury
Age: 19
Gender: Male
*Species: Human
Alignment: Good
Personality: Falcon’s protégé, trainee, and teammate, Fury is a tireless worker, a prolific learner, and an invaluable ally. He has a distinct ability to think quickly in even the most harrowing of situations, and because of this he often improvises when a previously planned strategy capsizes. However, he is somewhat slower than Falcon in reacting to danger, and as such relies on his compatriot to keep him safe. Also, he is quick to anger, and several lives have been put in jeopardy by Fury’s habit of pulling and aiming a gun at whatever may be posing a threat, whether it is or not.
Appearance: Fury’s hair is a deep gold, swept back evenly over his head, and his hazel eyes hide behind sunglasses similar to Falcon’s. He wears a leather jacket, which he rarely does up, and a long bandana that trails down to his neck. His guns rest in reversed holsters on his waist, which are slightly frayed from overuse.
Weapons: Fury is noticeably less of a melee fighter than Falcon, and it shows in his choice of weaponry. He is typically armed with two AutoMag 3 pistols, but can use a good number of other guns with a degree of accuracy.
Special Powers: Fury is a quick learner, developing tactics for use with individual weapons within a few minutes of first learning how they work.

Name: Vanessa Hunter
Age: 19
Gender: Female
*Species: “Foxcoon”
Alignment: Good
Personality: Vanessa lives for speed. Everything she does, she does with a flair for swiftness. As a result, she is not only semi-professional in both F-Zero and Extreme-G racing competitions, but she has a customized vehicle for both. When she isn’t officially racing, she can usually be found practicing in one of her impossibly fast vehicles, half to hone her skill and half for the mind-bending rush of dangerously great velocity. Her younger sister, Lorelei, often stages friendly competitions against Vanessa, which is where the duo learn most from each other.
Not surprisingly, Vanessa is the same way in battle. She often uses her XG vehicle to fight, simply because it is armed with a generous amount of weaponry, and she is swift death to any target she chooses. Her main problem, however, is that she’s somewhat headstrong and overconfident, which often gets her into trouble, either on the battlefield, in her racing career, or elsewhere.
Appearance: A sleek-furred, grey raccoon-fox hybrid, Vanessa’s light brown eyes are usually behind a set of small, shaded racing goggles, more for keeping dust out of her eyes than for actually shielding against the sun. Her thick tail is grey, like her fur, but is banded with black stripes, and has a pitch-toned tip. Vanessa is very fond of her tail, and makes sure it’s an addition to her already-stunning appearance before any race.
Weapons: Vanessa’s main weapon is her XG vehicle, the Shard, which can be armed with most conventional land-vehicle weaponry. Failing that, or if her sister is using the Shard for its weaponry, her F-Zero machine Swift Hunter is also armed, though not as heavily as the Shard.
Special Powers: Vanessa’s reaction time comes close to zero, which aids her greatly in high-speed races.

Name: Lorelei Hunter
Age: 17
Gender: Female
*Species: “Foxcoon”
Alignment: Good
Personality: A happy-go-lucky creature if ever there was one, Vanessa’s sister Lorelei does almost everything on the spur of the moment. She has a tendency to throw caution to the wind and try everything once, no matter how crazy or dangerous it is. As a result, she has gained the reputation of a daredevil, and those around her know she’s likely to do something crazy at any moment. However, while this attitude gains Lorelei a lot of excitement, it also brings a great deal of danger to her. She has found herself in over her head more than once, with near-catastrophic results.
Appearance: Lorelei shares generally the same appearance as her older sister, but she is slightly smaller than Vanessa, and her banded tail ends in a grey tip. She also wears a necklace, from which a small, pewter 47 hangs. The 47 does not signify anything; she just likes that number in particular.
Weapons: To her sister’s dismay, Lorelei uses Vanessa’s XG bike, Shard, when she goes into battle.
Special Powers: Lorelei is very good at fixing vehicles, which comes from a good deal of practice working on the Shard. She has considered taking up a job as a professional mechanic several times.
