Sonic the Hedgehog (Shard Dimension)

Sonic the Hedgehog from the Shard Dimension is a fan character created by SButzbach07. He is one of the two creators of Lab 16 and Project Shard.
There's not much that's different about this Sonic and canon Sonic, so content will be short. However, I will create this article to answer the questions about "What do Shard's creators look like? and "Who are they?"
This character is featured in the first Shard story, as well as the upcoming second one which will be co-written by NeoCreo.
==Appearance==
This Sonic looks similar to canon Sonic. He has blue fur covering most of his body. He has peach skin, covering his belly, right arm, right ear, and muzzle. He has six quills on his head that curve downward, along with two spines also curving down, and his tail that curves upward a little as normal. His eyes are green with blue eyelids. He wears his white glove with a white cuff on his right hand. In addition, there's gray wraps around the palm of the glove.
After the accident in Lab 16 that caused him to lose parts of himself, they got replaced with metal prosthetics. He lost his left arm, left ear, left leg, right leg from the knee down, and part of his left head got crushed from the collapse. Except for his hands and feet, his new metal limbs are a darker shade of blue, with the joints being a dark gray. His left hand is also dark blue, but with white joints and a white palm. His feet are red with a dark red accent at the top, white line at the bottom, and a dark gray joint where the legs connect.
The left side of his head got replaced with a cybernetic mind that connects with his brain. His left eye is now cybernetic eye, similar to Metal Sonic. The metal bands on the top of his quills help for support, even though they weren't badly crushed. There is a scar above his right eye that is darker than his natural fur color. For protection, he wears little armor plates on his right arm.
==Personality==
Mentally, he's still the same Sonic as canon Sonic, but everything changed after the effects of the decay of the dimension caused the death of Dr. Eggman. If there's someone else this Sonic hates more than Eggman, it's Brazen. He feels that the use of technology can help protect himself, his friends, and research he's been doing from the hands of Brazen and his growing army called Blade.
==History==
For the time before Lab 16, rumors were spreading that something was happening to the Shard Dimension as many lightning storms were occurring more often than normal. In addition, this wasn't weather-related lightning storms. One night, after Sonic and his friends managed another encounter with Blade, they were prepared for another attack from Dr. Eggman. Suddenly, Eggman's cruiser got struck by lightning from another storm passing through, knocking out all electrical systems aboard. Without any power, it can't sustain cruising altitude causing it to fall and crash, destroying everything aboard and killing him.
Knowing his hate for Brazen and Blade, Sonic and his friends salvaged everything they could from the cruiser and stormed Eggman's base, preventing Blade from taking it over. Over time, the base was expanded and modified with the various attempts of Blade invading it, eventually turning into Lab 16. Sonic and Shadow were the main creators, but gave credit to the others for helping Lab 16 become what it was before the reactor accident a year later that destroyed it.
Initially, the first major project, Project 4937-16, was the creation of Mech 4937-16. This was a full group project on creating a sentient cybernetic robot, but the project was scrapped in favor of Sonic's idea of creating an artificial hedgehog, like Shadow. However, Mech 4937-16 itself was not scrapped as it became a milestone of Lab 16's accomplishments. Mech 4937-16 would be salvaged from the accident and transported to the Chaos Dimension where Shard would activate and call it Mech 16.
The second project was a collaboration with Sonic and Shadow initially called Project Unname1. They were unsure what to call it, so "Unname1" was a placeholder. The reason why it wasn't a full group project was because Sonic approached Shadow with the idea, and Shadow would have experience being developed in Space Colony Ark. However, the duo would accept some insight and ideas from the others. Following the initial mental tests of Unname1, the events of the capsule being shattered into shards would lead to the project being renamed to Project Shard.
One day, alerts of the reactor spread through as a lightning storm would come through and strike the site of Lab 16, disrupting the energy grid and affecting the power output from the reactor. This was the day of Shard's final test of his super form. The accident would begin to affect the structural integrity of the site, causing it to decay and eventually collapse. With not that much time left, Sonic went for the reactor in an attempt to stop the chain reaction. He nearly made it to the reactor when the floors below and above him collapsed and crushed him in rubble. The intensity of the weight against his body caused various amputations. He dropped unconscious moments later where short later, he would be rescued, along with Shadow. As this point, Shard left this dimension unscathed.
When he woke up, he found himself in a bed outside Lab 16, next to Shadow and Frag. When he heard what happened, he died inside. It took him and Shadow a few days to physically recover and adapt to their metal limbs, but a few weeks to get used to living with metal limbs for the rest of their lives. Over the course of a month, a mini lab was set outside the facility as the rubble was being cleared. Blade soldiers continued to visit the site with the intention to find Frag after he lied to Brazen, noting he was heading back to the Knife. A month after the accident, the dimension hit it's rapid shrinking point and put everything in danger of being destroyed. Sonic and Shadow began to evacuate everyone to canon Sonic's dimension before Earth was destroyed. He was one of the last ones to leave. Now he resides with Shadow, Shard, Frag, and others.
==Abilities==
Sonic's abilities are the same as canon Sonic, with the additions of his metal addons and cybernetic mind. He can scan and analyze almost everything, including waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. He can communicate with other machines without physically speaking. He can continue to function 24/7, even if his natural side is sleeping. His metal limbs are also water-proof and they allow him to float in water, relieving him of his fear of water.
==Forms==
This Sonic has one form: Super Sonic
=== Super Form ===
This Super Sonic is the same as canon Super Sonic. In order to turn, he needs 7 Chaos Emeralds. Once in this form, his blue fur turns yellow, keeping the metal bands. The blue on the metal limbs also turn yellow, along with the front face of the armor plates. The edge of the armor plates stay the same color. The handslates on his gloves also turn yellow. There is no special change to this Sonic's abilities in this form compared to canon Super Sonic's abilities.
