I fleshed out my ideas for Floo the Koop more.

Firstly the backstory: Mystic Monkey wrote: OK, I think I have a story in mind for a Koopa OC of my own. I know I said I don't want a Mario OC, I'm just humouring the thought.

He was once a normal bystander Koopa, perhaps with a regular blue shell. By technicality, he was not a Koopa Trooper but merely at the wrong place at the wrong time. Mario just came up, stomped him and went away. He barely survived the assault but lost his shell. Humiliated he wondered naked. He couldn't reach the Question Blocks because they were too high and didn't have the punch to open them, but he found an Item Box, special fragile boxes that are used in racing. He smashed the box and found a Spiny Shell. Wearing the shell gave him the ability to become a projectile and still control where he went.

Also, perhaps for revenge he served Bowsers army under Wendy O. Koopa whom perhaps develops romantic interests for and attempts to impress her. The general jist of his story can remain but it's all got to go. He simply hates the plumbers due to their prejudist behavior towards Koopas. His backstory could be he had family which Mario stomped or that he himself was stomped and lost his shell.

Floo now has a Spiny Shell which grants him incredible speed. Mario 3 shows Koopas can remove and change shells and how powerful Spiny Shells are I imagine any Koopa trying to put one on is like a herculean trial.

He is a special agent of the Koopa Army but wants to acend to Bowsers personal services. Also perhaps harbours a crush on Wendy O. Koopa.
