History:
Fluff Hopper awoke from his dream with a start. Another old times dream. The glary red buzz of his pod alarm pinched at his eyes. He smacked his dried lips. His tongue was thick and warm and sour. He shut the alarm off with a boop and reengaged the sleep system. He could go another few lightyears without nutrient gas, even if it made him feel a little crummy. He’d been hungrier plenty of times.

Techniques:
Offensive
Shonen Jump Kick [N1]
Delivering a high-flying, supersonic rabbit kick to his opponent's face/body area, Fluff deals 33% of his damage in PL.
Support
Fastball [SU1]
Fluff moves so fast that he leaves an image in his wake, effectively dodging an attack of 100% his PL.
Fuzzy Fastball [SU2]
Fluff moves so quickly that time seems to stand still. While using his trademark superspeed, Fluff can either dodge an attack of 100% his PL, or rescue someone from an attack, given that it is within 100% of his own PL.
Utility
Chopper Hopper [UT]
By spinning his ears out like the blades of a helicopter, Fluff can levitate, fly, and buzz around annoyingly.

“Hey, wait a minute! The Blue Stargoon can’t be brown.”
“PFFPFPFPFPPFTTT – I can.”
“It doesn’t even make sense! The last two Blue Stargoons had blue skin. You don’t see me tryin to be the Red Stargoon, do you?”
“Snailsy, Snailsy. You can’t ever be Red because you can’t lead. You couldn’t lead this group out of a McBao’s flythro-”
“Quiet, both of you! Fluff is the Blue Stargoon because he’s the fastest, and Blue is always the fastest, smallest, most agile. It has to be that way, or it will interfere with the Pirate Power Pose! You don’t want that, do you?”
“No, Captain!” The Blue and Black Stargoons replied instantly, both genuinely horrified at the idea.
Fluff Hopper awoke from his dream with a start. Another old times dream. The glary red buzz of his pod alarm pinched at his eyes. He smacked his dried lips. His tongue was thick and warm and sour. He shut the alarm off with a boop and reengaged the sleep system. He could go another few lightyears without nutrient gas, even if it made him feel a little crummy. He’d been hungrier plenty of times.
Like back on Earth, when he was a kid. Those had been hungry times. Fluff Hopper hadn’t always been an elite interstellar mercenary, oh no. Before joining the Stargoons, he’d grown up in the seedy underbelly of Mushroom City, a gleaming pock of civilization on scorching hot Diablo Desert. Times had been hungry until he wised up and got work. He’d worked for the grimy old Rabbit Mob there, yeah, like any smart zoan with big ears did. His parents? Never met em. But the Rabbit Mob was good family, especially if you had a good talent, like he did.
Fluff Hopper was the fastest squirt in the whole of the city. People called him Fungus Town’s Fastest, and for good reason. He could run the secret little notes the Bosses passed around to each other almost as fast as the phonelines could ring, and that suited the Bosses fine. None of the gizmo bozos that worked for the police could hack into his pockets. Then he started stepping up, thieving and stealing. Pickpocketing. He made some good Zeni, and even did a job for the Kamifather of Earth a time or two.
Things changed when people started calling him the Fuzzy Fastball. See, Fluff had been going to school. And Mushroom City Middle School’s principal (a real nutty Saiyan named Watumeron who later got fired for suplexing the superintendent) had taken a shine to Fluff. He’d been coaching the Mushroom City Little League team, and thought that Fluff’s fast feet would be just the thing they needed. And Watumeron hadn’t had any scruples about cheating, either.
By that time, Fluff was so fast that when he was ready to hit a pitch, he could flit forward, grab the ball in midair, lob it nice and slow and steady like he wanted, and then flit back and hit the ball. He wasn’t ever strong enough to get homers, but he scored plenty of singles and doubles. Easy peasy. Fuzzy Fastball became a thing.
His astronomical batting average even got him a spot in the Galactic Baseball League. With the blessings of the Kamifather – who was a big fan of the East City Huskers – Fluff left Earth to go play in the biggest of the big leagues. A bigtime Arcosian wanted him to place for the Fridges. His team had been real pals, even though they were mostly stuffy Arcosians like the owner. But during Fluff’s very first game, in an orbiting stadium high above Planet Meat, he got recruited by an even greater bunch of pals who’d been watching in the crowd.
The Stargoons.
Every space pirate worth their booty knew about the Stargoons. Even the relatively smalltime Bosses back home in Mushroom City knew about them. They were the guys you called when the guys you called got lumped up. A real pro job, each of them. They did funny dances, sure, but you didn’t want to get on their bad side. They were mercenaries, really good ones, that would work for anyone with money. Even pirates. Especially pirates, since they also seemed to have some kinda beef with the Galactic Patrol.
Fluff found out about all that stuff pretty quick, because he got recruited. They needed someone fast, to fill a role. And Fluff was the fastest they’d found. As fast as their old Blue Stargoon, maybe.
Anyway, Fluff went with them. He learned to fight. He learned about power levels – which he guessed, he had a lot of, seeing as how he was so fast. He learned their poses, and kinda fell in love with the style and gloss of it all. The Stargoons were always working, and they did a lot of jobs, busted a lot of worlds together. It was fun, and challenging. They weren’t called elites for nothing. Each had a special little skill that really helped along the way. Best of all, Fluff got to love them all just like family. Maybe his realest family ever. They became real good real pals. Really.
That all ended on one sad mission to Eros. There had been some kinda mucky Arcosian legend about the planet, and that kinda gushy gloss was just the sort of thing that a rich changeling would pay oodles of Zeni to acquire. A wealthy Arcosian wanted the planet delivered to him with a bow wrapped up on it. Eros was past the edge of the North Galaxy. Super far. Out in the boonies, even. The mission there and back would take four years or more. But the pay was really good, so they all agreed.
But Eros had other plans. Look, there are some things people don’t like to talk about. And this is one for Fluff. All his best pals bit the dust on Eros, trucked off to that Big Carrot Patch in the Sky. It wasn’t pretty. Fluff only lived cause he was the fastest. The fastest at running away. The Stargoons hadn’t been cowards, not by a long shot. They had a hundred percent completion rate, before Eros. But some things, you just gotta run away from.
Fluff Hopper, the last Stargoon, limped his battered pod all the way to Planet Shikk. He’d been there once before, on vacation with the pals. He wondered if anyone remembered the Stargoons. Four years was a long time.
