Razor the Raptor/Archie

In a hypothetical alternate universe where this is even remotely possible, Razor the Raptor is a character in the Sonic the Hedgehog Archie Comics. Razor would have only appeared before the Super Genesis Wave.
Unlike in the Doriteverse, within the Doritearchieverse Razor is actually a good guy. Because why not.
This page is NOT in any way canon to the Doriteverse. I wrote this page just for fun. 
==Appearance==
Despite debuting before the first feathered dromaeosaur fossil was described in real life, Razor is a semi-accurately feathered raptor with wings and all. Razor is mostly green with scaly brown skin on the face, hands, and feet. Razor has a pair of owl-like ear tufts and a long fanned tail. Razor wears pants and a blue sleeveless hoodie.
==Personality==
In earlier appearances, Razor is a false-loner who really wants to be with others but can't due to outside factors. Initially this comes together alongside fear of doing harm as reluctance to kill Sonic, the first mobian Razor had met in a long time. However, this was warped by the writers later to turn into an obsession with romance.
In the Flynn era, Razor's meta-dignity was restored into a less relationship-obsessed, more ambiverted, empathetic, and slightly feminine personality. In this era, Razor additionally has a much more apparent sense of justice.
==History==
=== Early life ===
Originally from Dinosaur Island, Razor had to flee alone when the island was raided by Robotnik's forces and many of its inhabitants, including Razor's family, were roboticized. Razor lived alone for an unknown amount of time, resorting to theft for survival.
=== Mission to kill Sonic ===
Eventually, Razor was discovered and captured by Robotnik's forces and brought to Robotropolis. There, Robotnik saw use in Razor's abilities as a raptor and promised to deroboticize and release Razor's parents if Razor could kill Sonic.
Razor encountered Sonic somewhere in the Great Forest and immediately attacked. Sonic was caught by surprise but managed to avoid severe injury at Razor's claws. Sonic pushed for answers as a battle of constant dodging on both sides began, but Razor only revealed their name and that this was a mission from Robotnik to kill Sonic. Sonic questioned why a bird would work for Robotnik, and was so perplexed by Razor's response—that Razor was, in fact, a dinosaur, not a bird—that he failed to dodge a kick and was knocked to the ground.
As Razor restrained Sonic on the ground, Sonic asked what Razor—bird or not—was getting out of this. Razor revealed Robotnik's promise, and Sonic asked if Razor actually wanted to kill him. Razor hesitated, giving Sonic the chance to wriggle free and run to find a better position. Razor gave chase shortly afterwards, pursuing Sonic up a sheer cliff face.
During the chase, Razor admitted to not wanting to kill Sonic—the very thought made Razor sick, but there was no other way. Sonic convinced Razor otherwise, pointing out other times mobians had trusted Robotnik only to be betrayed in the end. The chase ended with Razor deciding to abandon the mission and seek out a new way to rescue the roboticized inhabitants of Dinosaur Island.
=== Reunited with Family, Joining the Freedom Fighters ===
When all the Robians regained their free will as a side effect of the Ultimate Annihilator, Razor's robian parents, Archer and Dianna, were among them. Razor was located and informed, but had at an unknown point already become aware of the robian liberation and was already on the way. Razor helped locate the other robian dinosaurs, and as a group they all returned to Dinosaur Island. However, Razor was unsatisfied with a normal life and decided to join the Knothole Freedom Fighters.
=== Involvement in the Pre-Flynn Era Love Polygon ===
For some unfathomable reason, a romantic subplot between Razor and Mina was later thrown in. This caused Razor to be pulled directly into the infamous love polygon associated with this era of the comics. Nearly all of Razor's appearances leading up to the Flynn era were related to this romance and later a rivalry with Ash, with a surprise deviation at some point to bizarre romantic subtext between Razor and Scourge (then known as Anti Sonic). In the Flynn era, this was swiftly sorted out and made less...like that.
=== Flynn Era ===
After the love polygon was untangled, Razor's appearances were initially rare due to the absolute destruction of anything resembling a realistic personality by past writers. On return, Razor was presented as slightly more feminine and being a decent fighter with a strong sense of justice, but wasn't given a chance to do much aside from help evacuate Knothole and move to Mobotropolis until Razor got an arc in Sonic Universe. When is this? I have no clue.
=== Trouble on Dinosaur Island ===
For the first time since the mass-deroboticization, Razor went to visit Dinosaur City on Dinosaur Island to see family. However, something was amiss—there was not a single dinosaur in sight. After some searching, Razor found Rustle the Psittacosaurus, who informed Razor about a strange creature with six arms that had chased everyone out of Dinosaur City. Razor promised to confront this creature and get everyone back safe and sound.
Razor followed Rustle's directions to Dinosaur Canyon (creative name, huh?) where Razor found various dinosaurs hiding out and strange talon-like claw marks in the rock. Razor asked if any of them had an idea of where the six-armed creature was. However, an answer wasn't needed—the "creature", Onyx the Avolix, was already there. Razor asked what an "Avolix" is. Onyx was so offended that she started attacking Razor.
Razor didn't want to put anyone in danger and tried to direct the battle away from the various frightened dinosaurs. Onyx started a monologue about justice for the dinosaurs destroying her life and everything she knew, much to Razor's confusion—Razor surely hadn't been away long enough to not know about something like that. Onyx attempted to explain that since dinosaurs are somehow here despite being from the past, clearly things from the future had to be effected by whatever brought them there too. Razor was perplexed by the lack of sound logic and actually stopped the fight to ask questions.
Onyx revealed that her kind was from millions of years in the future, just as dinosaurs originated millions of years in the past and since Onyx's kind hadn't done anything with time travel, it clearly must be the fault of the dinosaurs. Razor admitted to not knowing much of mobian dinosaur history, but insisted that if the dinosaurs had done something like that, everyone would know about it. Onyx was not ready to accept this, however, and intended to prove it—presenting 6 handfuls of jewelry stolen from various dinosaurs, claiming some of it was made from magic stones. Razor laughed, but the laughter was short lived as Onyx proceeded to somehow go Super. Razor managed to lunge in while the transformation was still underway, but instead of interrupting it Razor somehow went Super as well. Sure, why not.
Annoyed that Razor had taken some of the practically infinite energy out of the transformation, Super Onyx warped time with one of the pieces of jewelry in an attempt to show Super Razor the "truth". Instead, they both watched as a normal meteor came down on normal non-mobian dinosaurs at the end of the cretaceous period without any sign of intelligent influence. Turns out the dinosaurs on Dinosaur Island are descended from the Mobosaurs, not from actual dinosaurs. Super Onyx was very angry about this and proceeded to attack Super Razor, resulting in a Super battle which would have been one of epic proportions if the Zone Cops hadn't shown up to arrest both of them for the damage they were unintentionally causing. As a known Freedom Fighter from the Prime zone, Razor was only given a warning before being released while Onyx, who had a bit of a history and was also the one who started it, was taken to Zone Jail.
Razor returned to Dinosaur Island and helped spread the word that Onyx was gone. Razor's parents were there and they had a happy cheesy reunion. A little later, Razor wondered just what Onyx had gone through that caused her to do what she did. (Unfortunately, this was never followed up on due to the reboot happening and Razor and Onyx both being among the characters cut in fear of copyright repercussions)
=== X Years Later ===
==== Original Timeline ====
Razor did not appear in the original 25 years later timeline.
==== Altered Timeline ====
Razor is seen in the background in some panels in 25YL. Otherwise, the only mention of Razor is the apparent implication in 30YL that Razor had at some point married Wave the Swallow, because why not. I'm just making things up at this point.
==== Dark Mobius ====
Little is known about Razor in Dark Mobius, except that Razor met the same fate as basically everyone else outside the Dark Freedom Fighters.
==Powers==
As seen in Razor's arc in Sonic Universe, Razor is apparently capable of going Super. It is unknown how far Razor's powers would extend under normal circumstances.
==Abilities==
Razor can:
* See infra-red and ultra-violet colors
* Slow their descent when falling by flapping their wings
* Rapidly climb steep slopes, with assistance from their wings
* Glide, though they cannot gain much height without any kind of updraft
* Slice foes with their primary flight feathers, provided they've gained enough speed from gliding or diving to do so
* Blow away lightweight opponents by flapping their wings at them
==Skills==
Razor is a competent fighter, battling mainly with kicks and wing beats. Razor is also very good at raptor prey restraint, though this is not used on prey.
== Trivia ==
* Within this universe, Razor's gender is known from their debut, unlike in the Doriteverse. However, the page will not be changed to reflect that until it's no longer a spoiler.
