What is Axel Stone, Blaze Fielding, Adam Hunter, Eddie “Skate” Hunter, Max Thunder, Cherry Hunter, and Shiva’s personalities (Streets of Rage Game Series), dynamics (Streets of Rage Game Series), roles (Streets of Rage Game Series), and appearances (Streets of Rage Game Series), Axel is physically built caucasian man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He wears a white shirt and blue jeans pants throughout the series (with few exceptions). A blue headband keeps his long bangs out of his eyes, and red fingerless gloves bedeck his fists, This attire changed throughout the series, going from a muscle shirt with blue and gold gauntlets, to a standard t-shirt with red gauntlets, to a sleeveless shirt, and a red gauntlet. Despite the changes, Axel is always featured in a white shirt and sneakers with blue jeans and headband (except for Streets of Rage 3, where he is depicted with a yellow shirt and black jeans, with a color scheme reminiscent of Adam Hunter), His Streets of Rage 4 design reverts him back to his classic color palette, as well adding a denim jacket and a cuffed formal shirt tied about his waist. Axel also sports a full beard, reflecting his time in isolation as well to portray an older and more mature character. He’s also bulked up considerably in the 10 years since Streets of Rage 3, and has become a stocky, more powerful figure, considerably broader than Adam, who used to have a similar lean build, Blaze is a physically attractive caucasian woman with brown eyes (blue in SEGA Heroes) and long brown hair. Her designed remains more or less the same in every game, with some small differences, In the first Streets of Rage, Blaze wears a red headband, a red jacket and skirt, black fingerless gloves and red boots, In Streets of Rage 2, she loses the jacket and gloves, and instead wears a red top, alongside gold bangles on her wrists, and stockings. In Streets of Rage 3, her design is nearly identical, but back with the leather gloves, and featuring long red boots, In Streets of Rage 4, Blaze’s design is a combination between her Streets of Rage and Streets of Rage 3 appearances. She wears golden hoop earrings, a red top, a black leather jacket, black fingerless gloves, a red skirt with a black belt, and red boots, Adam is a Black American man with short dark hair. He wears, a yellow t-shirt or tank top (the latter having black shoulder pads), black fingerless gloves, black pants, and motorcycle boots. In his Streets of Rage 4, he wears green sunglasses, and his hair is more shaved on the sides, sports a yellow muscle shirt with sleeves rolled up into his biceps and an ample V-shaped neck which he leaves unbuttoned (exposing part of his pectorals), ditches the shoulder pads in favor of suspenders, and his boots gain an armor-like appearance with yellow plates/guards, Adam is seen as a cool, handsome man who never gives up a fight. Though mostly serious at times, he occasionally displayed a witty sense of humor, as seen in Streets of Rage 3, Eddie “Skate” Hunter is the younger brother of Adam Hunter from the original game, and first appears in Streets of Rage 2, along with Max Thunder, to help Axel Stone and Blaze Fielding look for his kidnapped brother, In his Streets of Rage 2 debut, Skate wears a typical breakdancing attire, consisting of a red basketball cap worn backwards, red fingerless gloves, stainless steel chain necklace, a yellow tank top tucked into white jeans shorts, and his trademark red and yellow rollerblades (which grant him great speed in combat), Skate is a typical young man at heart: possessing the latest style, the latest lingos in speech, and slightly rebellious, though with sharp street-smarts which prove to greatly help his friends in critical times. He looks up to his big brother, Adam, as a role model and mentor, who trains in martial arts alongside him. Skate’s warm acquaintance towards Axel and Blaze turns to loyal allies in order to save his older brother’s life in Streets of Rage 2. His bond with the others continues in Streets of Rage 3, Max Thunder (alternatively referred to as Max Hatchet in Sonic The Comic) is a playable character from the Streets of Rage series. He is a former professional wrestler and good friend of Axel Stone, Max is a tall, massive, and muscular lighter-skinned man in his apparent mid or late 30s. He has a mop of spiked black hair, a vertical scar running across his right eye, hairy forearms, and fights shirtless. He wears black spandex elbow pads, light blue wrestling pants with yellow horizontal lighting bolt designs (with black spandex wrestling briefs above), and red wrestling boots with white strings and black soles. During his cameo appearance in the good ending of Streets of Rage 3, he’s seen sporting a jacket with “Thunder” written on its back, Returning as a boss character in Streets of Rage 4, Max remains essentially the same, except his black hair is now in a military crewcut with some thick gray streaks on the sides (possibly due to age), his upper body has some scars. During his boss fight, his eyes display a frightening red glow, indicating he is under mental control of the Y twins, Cherry is Adam Hunter’s daughter. While she inherited her father’s fighting skills, she didn’t desire to become a police officer like him and thus decided to pursue a musical career. She became a guitarist and plays at the city’s night clubs. When Blaze Fielding calls upon Adam to help taking on the new Y Syndicate, Cherry goes in her father’s stead, as he was busy with another assignment, Cherry is a slightly muscular Black-American girl with red hair. She wears ripped jeans, a yellow shirt, sports bra and wraps down her arm. Whilst fighting, she keeps her guitar on her back so that it’s ready to use during combat, She’s a youthful, energetic, and fiercely independent young woman. She loves her father and displays her affection openly, Shiva is a recurring character from the Streets of Rage series, appearing as a boss since Streets of Rage 2. He formerly acted as Mr. X’s right-hand man in the Syndicate Crime Organization in Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3. He has turned over a new leaf in Streets of Rage 4 and lives a humble life running his own dojo, Shiva is a muscular Asian-American (or purely Asian) man, around the same age of his rival-turned-friend Axel Stone. He has shoulder-length black (or dark-bluish) hair, and a somewhat menacing yet disciplined facial expression. In his debut in Streets of Rage 2, he dresses in a traditional black Koppou-ken attire, showing part of his thoracic muscles, pants and training shoes, along with a thin red headband (similar to Axel’s), sash belt, and fingerless kickboxing gloves. In Streets of Rage 3, his attire and hair share the same color, the shirt/gi is entirely open and shows all of his pectoral and abdominal areas, and the fingerless gloves are replaced by simple sweatbands of the same color of the attire. In the American port, his “standard” palette for hair and attire is navy-blue as Stage 1 boss, and has a forest-green palette if the player faces him again as the Stage 7-B boss in the bad ending route. The navy-blue palette exists only in Streets of Rage 3, as for the Bare Knuckle III version the forest-green one is his “standard” palette. His Streets of Rage 4 attire is a throwback to his original design from the second game, except that his gi now has a yellow trim, with its right side completely loose and hanging down (showing that side of his bare chest, shoulder and arm), he dons red armbands instead of fingerless gloves, and the sash belt was replaced with a thick white shimenawa (praying rice rope commonly seen attached to bells in Shinto/Buddhist temples, alluding to his newfound faith in Buddha’s teachings), Shiva is a stoic man of few words, who praises solitude and meditation in his free time. He is very calm, collected, and only fights for the right reason. With evidence from the extras menu in Streets of Rage 4, Shiva loves animals and will frontally oppose any forms of animal abuse. He was once a Kempo teacher, informing that he cares about people and can be quite friendly (at times), but sadly all of his former disciples left to fight on the streets, and joined a criminal organization that involves unethical animal abuse at worst. Shiva is very fearless, and will not flee if anyone threatens or attacks him. He follows a philosophy that weapons are for the weak; because of that he always fights barehanded. Altogether, Shiva is a calm, cultured and loyal man who strikes hard and mercilessly at anyone who dares to betray his trust.
