GEN is a character created by the user 2763whenthe. He was created on February 27th 2022.
== Overview ==
GEN is a human soul trapped inside a copy of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. However, he can only fully be summoned if the cartridge he is in locks on to a copy of Sonic & Knuckles.
== Biography ==
GEN was once human, the oldest child in his family. His name was Fritz, a stern and mature man who had been striving to protect his siblings any way he could. One night however, this all changed. He was driving home that very same night, and he felt really tired. So much so to the point where he almost dozed off and didn’t see where he was going. This caused him to unintentionally make a left turn near a lake that was nearby. The car almost went in, but sharply stopped on the edge of the lake. Fritz, thinking he was home, took off his seatbelt and fell into the deepest part of the lake. He swam up as fast as his limbs could carry him, and he even tried screaming for help as loud as he could, to no avail. His lungs then filled up with water slowly but surely, and no sooner had he reached the top, he was pronounced deceased. A few years after he died, he woke up inside a game that he had played all the time when he was just a little boy. He then decided to take on the form of Sonic, albeit altered heavily.
== Abilities/Weakness ==
=== Abilities ===
He has the ability to corrupt any zone to his liking, but he chooses not to make his presence known until Mushroom Hill Zone.
=== Weaknesses ===
Even though GEN seems to have complete control over what happens and what doesn’t happen in the game he’s in, the best way to weaken him is to anger him. Doing simple things like altering the layout of the zones, adding in Sonic characters that shouldn’t even be in Sonic 3 to begin with, or even modifying the game itself, is enough to set him off.
== Trivia ==
* GEN has a short temper due to being trapped in Sonic 3 for so long.
* He gets extremely shy when talking to women.
* GEN is unaware that there are other EXEs.
* GEN has a really bad fear of water.
* Although GEN tends to have an aggressive nature, ironically he isn’t one to pick/start fights/arguments with people.
* When he’s not chasing down victims, or being aggressive, he’s relaxing in one of the zones, mostly Angel Island.
* Although he has a short temper, he is still able to make friends.
* His design is inspired by other EXEs that I really love (Xenophane, ERR.Hedgehog.X, etc.)
* He experiences really bad pain when transforming, and he screams in agony while doing so. This would explain why he prefers to be in his current state.
* Whenever the drowning theme plays in the game he’s in, GEN will begin to get extremely frightened and anxious, and cover his ears to try and block out the noise. This is because it reminds him too much of how he died.
* He uses a longer variant of the Sonic 1 continue music whenever he’s chasing down a victim.
* He speaks to his victim through the text seen throughout Sonic 3. (e.g: the act clear text, the act 1 or 2 text, etc.)
* Once exposed to GEN, victims will feel their sanity slowly decreasing as the days go by. Once their sanity decreases completely, GEN will lure them in with the promise of a better place, causing them to take their own life.
* He hates being annoyed by other people.
