Shadow

NOTICE: This article contains major spoilers for Act 5 of the main series! Tread carefully!
==General Info==
Shadow is anthropomorphic hedgehog that was cryogenically frozen from 1854 to 2035. He became friends with the main cast of act 5 and saved their captured parents. After the events of act 5, he became a nomad and decided to explore the world by himself. He regularly returns to London once a week to join in on the Red Eyed Retard's weekly meetings at Strange and Ben's apartment.
==Background==
Shadow the Hedgehog was created accidentally in a lab by Gerald Robotnik whilst he was trying to convert lead to gold. He was named Shadow and was assigned to be the caretaker of Gerald's daughter, Maria. In the process of being created, the lab he was made in also somehow shot into space, so he lived there, in space, until one day the government found them, building a ladder up to the newly created space station. They killed Maria, but right before then, she managed to push Shadow out of the space ship and he fell to earth, hitting his head on every rung of the ladder. 
After they found out he somehow survived the fall from space, he was drafted into the British army and fought alongside Rouge on the side of Britain against the redditors. He fought diligently until he was captured and put into a cryogenic freezing chamber and was sealed in by Big Chungus taking a giant shit on him. He was sealed away with the 7th Chaos emerald and was finally released during the events of act 5.
==Appearance==
Shadow is a black-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog. He has red eyes, a patch of white fur on his chest, a black nose, a dark muzzle, and small, triangular ears with dark canals. He also has six quills on his head, four of which curve upwards while the other two curve downwards, two spines on his back, and a short, pointy tail. He has red stripes on each of his head quills, around the edges of his eyes, and on his arms and legs.
For attire, Shadow wears white gloves with black cuffs and red tongues, and Air Shoes which, like his gloves, have black cuffs and red tongues. Shadow also wears Inhibitor Rings, one on each of his wrists and ankles.
==Hobbies and Interests==
His absolute favorite thing to do is attend concerts around the world. He has a special interest for niche, local, rock/emo bands so he loves to explore and find bands with small fanbases. He also just really enjoys exploring the world, and seeing the differences between the 1850s and 2030s.
==Fun Facts==
*He/They
*He's autistic, but doesn't really understand what that is. I mean he does, but he doesn't really understand how that affects him. Since all his friends are also neurodivergent, he doesn't feel any difference between him and other people.
**he also has pretty extreme depression and PTSD but he's fine
*He eventually moves to Mobius and meets the other Sonic characters. He has no idea why they are all anthropromorphic animals, but he's happy to find people who are the same species as him.
**he also may or may not fall in love with Sonic but that's another story for another day <3
*He knows how to drive, somehow. He's never taken a drivers test, he's never even seen a car before, but he knows how to drive motorcycles, planes, cars, military vehicles, etc.
*Shadow somehow recognizes Strange's voice, but he can't place where he's heard it before.
*There is another Shadow that lives in Gmod, that seems to be some sort of spanish conquistador. Neither of them know each other. Neither of them want to talk about it.
