[ CHARACTER INFORMATION ]
Name: Sonic the Hedgehog
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Fandom: ... Sonic the Hedgehog
Timeline: post Black Knight
History: tl;dr
Character Personality: There are two things Sonic loves more than anything in the world; running and freedom. Although chilidogs come a very close second!
He loves adventure and often runs off for months at a time to explore or travel in search of his next thrill ride. All his friends are used to this rather flighty personality trait, but Sonic would never abandon a friend in need. A guy who loves adventure he may be but he's a hero before everything else. Though for this speedy hedgehog, the two tend to marry more often than one would expect. With Eggman and Sonic's constant rivalry (they've been at it for a couple of years now) wherever Eggman's cooking up a new evil scheme it's almost guaranteed that the blue blur will be nearby.
Running isn't just a hobby for him; it's a way of life. He can't stand staying in one spot any longer than he has to, though visiting it again and again is just fine to him. So long as movement is available, Sonic will be a happy hedgehog. When forced to sit down or stand through something, it's more likely that he'll end up either falling asleep or fidgeting. As annoying as it is, he doesn't do it out of spite. Time isn't something he likes to waste standing still, not when the world keeps changing and there are more adventures to be had.
As a hero, Sonic is always confident to the point of being cocky. Often times, he won't go into a battle at his best straight from the get go, implied by the way he normally sounds surprised when he encounters difficulty defeating an enemy. Even then, he jumps into battle with a grin and confidence to spare. Though he's used to working alone, Sonic's not averse to working as a team. WE'LL SHOW HIM THE REAL SUPER POWER OF TEAMWORK! To be honest, he seems pretty flexible about this sort of thing.
There are few things in the world that Sonic hates. Oppression is something that he absolutely cannot stand. Being such a free spirit, the idea of someone being held captive or living in oppression is enough to prompt him to do something about it. Sonic also hates tears and the sadness that comes with it. Once again, this has a lot to do with his own cheerful, fun-loving personality. To him, even if he only has one life to live then he should live it to it's full potential.
After all, isn't that what makes life so precious in the first place?
Character Abilities: ANYTHING MARIO AND LINK CAN DO, I CAN DO TOO!
Sonic's main ability is his super speed. Capable of hitting Mach 1 at a drop of a dime and breaking the sound barrier, nothing ever constitutes as 'too fast' for this hedgehog. Normally, it's a 'flight or fight' response; not the case here. Flight is fight when it comes to this blue blur! Along with that, Sonic seems to have almost godly endurance and a quick-thinking mind. New enemy that's a hundred times his size? Not a problem!
That being said, other than his speed, Sonic uses every hedgehog's main defense - his quills - to great effect. Curling up into a ball not only increases his speed but protects him from long falls, physical attacks and anything short of projectiles or opposing spikes. He can spin himself fast enough to cut through steel and in Brawl, during his up throw, Sonic can apparently cause his spines to go from it's normal loose shape to a much more rigid sharp point.
Then there's the usual homing attack and his trademark spindash (which everyone ripped off of him, no lie) along with general acrobatics that would make an Olympic athlete jealous. Coupled with breakdance moves worthy of a dance competition, Sonic's the life of the party!
One of Sonic's trumps is his ability to use the Chaos Emeralds, especially Shadow's coveted Chaos Control ability (with a fake emerald while being ejected into space to boot). With seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic can transform into Super Sonic. Capable of breathing in space and traveling at the speed of light, Super Sonic has always appeared when the world is threatened and Sonic's own abilities aren't enough to take them down.
We'll not get into the werehog...
Character Weaknesses: Sonic can't swim. At all. Possibly the epitome of the 'Super Drowning Skill' trope, it's been a running gag in the series (and with other series) since it's conception please see Mario&Sonic at the Summer Olympics. If he builds up enough speed, the blue blur is capable of running over water, otherwise he'll sink like a rock. Coupled with the fact that he hates getting wet, unless there is a very good reason for him to go near water Sonic will be sitting there... on the bleacher... Cheering Knuckles on. Oddly enough, his games almost always start with an ocean side stage which displays his love of the ocean.
He also tends to speak before he thinks. All the fights he gets into with Knuckles or Shadow involves Sonic running his mouth; the only reason that there hasn't been a decisive winner in their rivalry yet is because someone or something always interrupts their fight partway through. This also leads him to saying some harsh things he'll regret later on...
To match his speedy personality, Sonic has little to no attention span. Everything he does it for the sake of an adventure but actually keeping him still long enough to learn something? That's Tails' job, not Sonic's. He's not dull by any means and can be quite clever and inventive when he has to be but he can't stay still.
There's a distinct lack of killer instinct in Sonic. He's a hero meant to save people, not kill them. Where Shadow or even Knuckles wouldn't hesitate to seriously injure someone who gets in their way, Sonic will try to find a way around it. Why else would Eggman still be around?
[ WEAPON SECTION ]
Why your character should be a Weapon: In almost all of Sonic's POW moves in Sonic Chronicles involve one of his party members throwing/kicking him at the enemy. There are also several other instances where Sonic is used as a projectile against an enemy, such as in Sonic Spinball or during the Sonic X anime.
While Sonic is capable of wielding a weapon - specifically, Caliburn a sword - he's mentioned once to Shadow that he wouldn't be caught using a weapon. Brawl doesn't count.
What is your character's Weapon form?: A triple dagger with a bright blue blade that's about the length of your forearm. When the two hilt guards are pressed towards the blade, the average looking dagger blade splits into three; two thinner blades separating from the middle one to form a W shape. Without the blades opened, it can be used as an average dagger. When it's opened though, the two outer prongs can be used to catch another weapon in a defensive move or as a method to disarm the enemy.
[ SOUL INFORMATION ]
Soul Description: relaxed, honest, heroic, stubborn, confident, free
Soul Appearance: Sonic's soul is as blue as his fur and the planet we live on. /cheesy line
There are three sharp points jutting out the back that are reminiscent of Sonic's quills. His expression is a cocky one, always grinning with his teeth showing or otherwise smiling. You won't catch this one frowning unless the situation is in dire straits!
