hehe well in fact, Andross do had somekind of background story, Andross was once a brilliant Cornerian scientist whose research proved to be beneficial to both Corneria and the Lylat system. He even got the tietle of "genius" to.
However, his lust for power drove him towards madness, and made his experiments dangerous. Thats why General Pepper ordered the termination of his experiments.
Anyway Andross didnt pay attention to Pepper and continued doing his experiments, one of which resulted in an explosion, tragically destroying a part of Corneria City.
That was the reason of his banishment to the planet of Venom, where he continued his research and eventually declared war agains the Lylat System. This conflict made James McCloud, Peppy and Pigma, oredered by Pepper, investigate Venom, eventually leading to Pigma´s deception and James McCloud apparent KIA.
Well thats the background lol.. mad scientist, lust for power, and eternal revenge!
Bad we will earn some negative replies if we continue our fan talk lol

I like the idea about Scales, maybe Nightmare´s vertex on Ganon could be taken for a base and the armor. Not sure if the tail could be done from the cape though
