Avatar (Sonic the Hedgehog)

The Avatar is a character in the Sonic the Hedgehog series and the player's customizable character in the 2017 video game, Sonic Forces. They are designed in such a way that their role in the game's story is universal, no matter how the player sets them up.
==History==
The Avatar was originally an ordinary citizen of Sonic's world. When Dr. Eggman began to take over in Sonic Forces with the help of Infinite, he joined forces with Sonic and his Resistance team to stop him.
==Personality==
The Avatar looks up to heroes like Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails, and Amy Rose, wanting to be as cool as them. This would lead them to becoming a benevolent person whose greatest desire was to help out others, albeit with not great ambition. During the early days of the war between the Resistance and the Eggman Empire, they mostly stuck to assignments that did not require facing enemies directly.
In fact, The Avatar is much a coward in the early game, plagued with anxiety and self doubt. This may explain their muteness, as they do not utter a single word throughout the game. When faced against Infinite, they cowered behind rubble and fled at Infinite's twisted insistence. When working with Sonic, they gradually become brave and eventually adopt his philosophy about always moving forward.
==Appearances==
===Mario & Sonic at the Previous Olympic Games===
The Avatar is a playable character in the Nintendo Switch version of the game. They can be given a custom appearance and stats. There are now more options for everything in their appearance and Avatars can also have custom names.
===Animal Crossing & Sonic at the Olympic Games Paris 2024===
The Avatar appears as a possible type of custom character along with Miis and Villagers. They are playable in every sport. The player can name their Avatars as well as have multiple of them. As such, in team sports or multiplayer, it is possible for an event to have multiple Avatars at the same time.
Their appearances are largely the same as in Sonic Forces, but with the addition of a new quokka species, a reference to the character named by the player in The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog. They also no longer carry a Wispon. Most of their clothing options are bought at the Clothing Shop.
As a custom character, it is possible for an Avatar to be the main character in the story mode, where they need to gather a team of Sonic and Animal Crossing characters in order to save the Olympics.
