Arsnia is a character created by the user NotSoGrand. He was created on February 8th 2022.
== Overview ==
Arsnia is a demonic entity originating from the Inferno, a secluded dimension consisting of an ever raging fire, very similar to our depiction of Hell. Excelling in melee combat and pyromancy, Arsnia is very adaptable as well as cruel and unrelenting in his ways.
== Biography ==
Arsnia’s existence began when a dimensional overlap occurred during an experiment conducted by Eggman who was oblivious to what had happened. Arsnia remained unseen for some time as nothing but  wandering energy. Over time he started to gain sentience and figured out what he was. It wasn’t long before Arsnia developed malicious intentions. He intended spread the flames of the Inferno across worlds and become the one true God among the scorched lands.
Eventually Arsnia gained the power to create a shell for himself and finally show himself. He chose to base his form off the world’s renowned hero and so took on the appearance of a towering, lanky hedgehog with plentiful charcoal/ash white fur and underneath it, skin like stone. The empty eye sockets illuminated by two fiery snake-like irises. The form has no mouth and instead Arsnia uses a gateway to the Inferno as one which has a jagged appearance on its edges. It can be any shape and size needed,  though usually a wide open grin extending off the sides of Arsnia’s face and within it one can see the flames of the Inferno.
Even in a young and imperfect state Arsnia was able to easily take his first world. The resistance he was met with was brutally beaten and their souls casted away to the Inferno. It was this first battle that sparked Arsnia’s love for violence, finding great pleasure in gruesomely asserting his superiority over others.
After his first takeover Arsnia started onto other dimensions to spread the flames and gain more power. With different dimensions comes different opposition, this leaves lots of interpretation on what he will encounter. It’s possible for him to come across other Exes and different Sonic worlds. Regardless, anyone who decides to stand against Arsnia is sure to meet a cruel demise at his hands.
Those who retaliate are subject to burn endlessly in the Inferno. Those that have given up and worship Arsnia and the Inferno still suffer, though may be tormented less than the others and may even be tasked with aiding Arsnia.
With every world consumed, the Inferno grows stronger and so does Arsnia who draws power directly from it.
The scourge of Arsnia is unrelenting.
“Existence began in flames, and so it shall end in flames!”
== Abilities/Weakness ==
=== Abilities ===
* Adaptable, learns very quickly and changes tactics to suit the situation.
* Outstanding skills in pyromancy.
* Shapeshifting, though within limits.
* Able to quickly repair damage at the expense of energy.
* Deceivingly strong and agile.
* Extremely sharp claws, akin to obsidian.
* Can leave his physical body for short periods of time.
* When inside of the Inferno he is capable of Godlike feats, a fight there with Arsnia is hopeless.
=== Weaknesses ===
* Although Arsnia has a steady supply of energy from the Inferno, he must be mindful not to use more than he can replenish. Intense use of pyromancy and repairing heavy damage uses lots energy so it is important for him to use his energy effectively and maintain a balance between offense and defense.
* Quick to anger, can be used to one’s advantage in order to exhaust him more quickly or make mistakes.
* When his energy supply has been exhausted he becomes more vulnerable and can be killed while in such a state.
* Tends to underestimate opposition.
* Rather tunnel visioned in his goals, misses the finer details making it more difficult for himself.
== Trivia ==
* Arsnia’s story is left open for interpretation rather than set in stone. He can in theory meet any Exe or other Sonic characters. It can go many paths and what is written is merely a baseline. Many possibilities.
* Canonically EXE is the first Exe Arsnia comes across and their battle is the origin of Arsnia’s scar which he chooses to keep as a reminder.
* Arsnia would ally with other Exes under the promise of power, if they were to be willing to help him in his goal though he would likely betray a majority of them in the end.
* Those that willingly give into his takeover and worship him and the Inferno do receive a less terrible fate.
* Since Arsnia’s mouth is only a portal, he can’t actually consume anything. Anything that goes in is comedically incinerated.
* Arsnia has a wrath form which is far more animalistic and threatening.
* Canon Arsnia and Fanon Arsnia are quite different. Fanon Arsnia is much nicer, laid back, and better suited for comedy related situations. More of a jokester funny guy who really likes fire.
* Arsnia doesn’t use contractions.
* Arsnia’s boots and overall heft are not at all quiet but are very imposing and intimidating sound wise. Think heavy stone and metal clanging.
* Arsnia constantly emits some degree of heat around him which changes based on strength of emotion.
* He becomes rather jealous around those that are taller than him.
* In the scenario where Arsnia completes his goal and consumes the plane of reality into the Inferno, he would be unstoppable and take on the title of "King".
