Bio:
Filo de la Fluganta Testudo was born a prince in a rather prosperous City-State loosely aligned with Bowser's Koopa Kingdom. Filo's boyhood was spent torn between the lap of luxury and the savage beauty of the wilderness where he and his father would hunt for sport.
Upon hitting adolescence Filo, like many young nobles of his age, took up fencing. He quickly found that he was decent with the blade, but nothing special: Several of his peers would regularly best him with authority. When Filo and his group of friends reached that special age when their life was defined by the pursuit of female attention, the duels began to heat up. After one of his peers stabbed him hard enough to merit the consumption of a Super Shroom for healing, Filo decided to leave home before somebody ended up killing him over some hot piece of shell.
Enrolling in Bowser's Elite Lakitu Academy, Filo studied weather magic in hopes of one day earning his cloud and serving as an officer in the Koopa Air Force. It was quickly determined that Filo was an excellent mage, for a Koopa anyway, and the aspiring young noble was put on the fast track for an officers title. Sadly disaster struck before he could graduate.
Bowser was well known for his treachery and lust for power, and this sadly became apparent when the mighty Koopa King launched a surprise attack on Filo's homeland, deciding that he would like it better as part of his kingdom as an independent ally. The war was brief and brutal; Seven hours after the first shots were fired the Koopa Flag flew over the city state. Most of Filo's family members were killed in the fighting or executed without ceremony the following day.
Somebody in Bowser's high command had the foresight to order Filo killed as well, but luckily the person the order was given to was a friend of the young Koopa, and Filo was able to escape the Lakitu Academy and Bowser's twisted kingdom.
After wandering for about a year Filo eventually decided to settle down in the Mushroom Kingdom. His military training and experience with nobility made him a natural fit for Princess Toadstools Royal Guard. Although respected as an officer, Filo's condescending aditude, insulting brand of dry humor, and former ties to Bowser's forces have earned him few friends. The prospect of conflict between the Mushroom Kingdom has Filo torn inside: Although he would like nothing more than to avenge his family, many of his closest friends would be fighting for the other side...
Primary Ability Path: Climate Mage. Filo has trained in the art of manipulating the winds and rain in hopes of one day being able to control a cloud of his very own.
Secondary Ability Path: Fencer. The art of the blade was popular amoung Filo's peers growing up. He is proficient with the technique, finesse, and deception associated with such honorable combat.
