This time I chose Andross of Star Fox fame. This is a character study, and is not intended to be a full story.\nPlease let me know if you think I came close or not. Also, if you'd like me to do one of these of another character, just let me know. Thanks!","content":"\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; Ah, Lylat.\u0026nbsp; Such an innocent system.\u0026nbsp; They have no knowledge of the true dangers out there beyond the reach of their small system.\u0026nbsp; I do.\u0026nbsp; I've glimpsed worlds within worlds from the sub-atomic level to the galactic.\u0026nbsp; I've witnessed events you could only dream of and have accomplished far more than you will ever achieve.\u0026nbsp; Why, in my short few decades of existence I bet I've accomplished five, no fifty times more than you have in your pathetic life.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Some are content to live small, meaningless lives.\u0026nbsp; They run about worrying about their bills, their kids, their homes.\u0026nbsp; They only care about how much pride and esteem they can gather from their peers.\u0026nbsp; Like small woodland creatures storing food for the winter, they pull this esteem around themselves while they grow old, feeble.\u0026nbsp; They feed on it like food, feeding their weak pride while they wither and die.\u0026nbsp; They are why I do what I do.\u0026nbsp; Part of why I do what I do.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; To rule this galaxy you need will power, brains, and strength.\u0026nbsp; Not only physical strength but true strength.\u0026nbsp; I've developed ways to control beings with a single thought.\u0026nbsp; I've turned asteroids, living creatures, and even an entire planet into a single weapon system all controlled with my will.\u0026nbsp; That is true strength.\u0026nbsp; That is the true definition of power.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Keep your esteem.\u0026nbsp; Keep your clout amongst your peers.\u0026nbsp; Scurry, little ants, like the bugs you are.\u0026nbsp; Fight for your dirt kingdom in your dirt hill.\u0026nbsp; While I, with the clenching of one iron boot, crush it for you.\u0026nbsp; Just so you can see, for a brief moment, how pathetic and small your existence really is.\u0026nbsp; For one small glimpse, you get to see true might.\u0026nbsp; To experience it.\u0026nbsp; To relish it as your tiny life is snuffed out.\u0026nbsp; In that, I almost envy you.\u0026nbsp; For I can only imagine the joy and rapture you feel once you finally get to experience real power.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; The only thing that has dared to stand in my way is McCloud and his weak friends.\u0026nbsp; Pah.\u0026nbsp; Tiny creatures in tiny metal flying boxes think that they can actually defeat me?\u0026nbsp; Pathetic.\u0026nbsp; Perhaps I'll give them a small taste of what true power is.\u0026nbsp; Right before I crush the life out of them.\u0026nbsp; Then for the briefest of minutes, they'll get to experience the pleasure of what it means to be under my rule.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Yes, if I'm completely honest, they have defeated me before.\u0026nbsp; Minor setbacks.\u0026nbsp; That is also the difference between true power and those pretenders on the throne.\u0026nbsp; I have learned from these defeats.\u0026nbsp; Failure is a bitter, angry, and harsh teacher.\u0026nbsp; But she is an instructor that you need if you are to gain true success.\u0026nbsp; And what I have coming next will give me true success.\u0026nbsp; Soon, you too will experience true power.\u0026nbsp; Once I destroy Star Fox, I'm coming for you next.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; See you soon.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
