Scarlett is a character created by Twitter user Creator_Mal. He was created on October 12th 2021.
== Overview ==
Scarlett is a sentient gaseous form of energy that uses Sonic’s corpse as a physical body. Without a specific kind of body, it is extremely weak and its power is limited.
== Biography ==
Scarlett is an entity that has existed for an unknown amount of time. At first, it took the form of a small, mysterious gem. But due to unknown reasons, the gem shattered, and the soul of Scarlett was released. For almost one thousand years he attempted to search for a physical body that falls under specific requirements to be able to use its full potential, but it was never successful. That is until it discovered Sonic.
How Scarlett took over Sonic’s body:
One day, Tails asked Sonic to gather materials for a project, and so he heads out to grab the materials Tails requested. After he collects these materials, Sonic decides to rest in a forest that’s in a secluded area in Green Hill. Overtime he starts hearing unusual sounds from the surrounding trees and bushes, however he doesn’t think anything of it. As he starts to leave, suddenly, hands emerge from the ground, grab Sonic’s legs, and drag him into the ground. Sonic is declared missing. However, after a month he comes back. His friends are happy to see him again, but something is off about him.
== Abilities/Weakness ==
=== Abilities ===
When Scarlett killed and possessed Sonic’s body, he lost almost all of Sonic’s abilities. He is no longer fast, and he can’t curl into a ball/spindash. Although with both the gaseous energy that makes up Scarlett’s “soul”,  and the way Sonic’s body reacts to energy, it unlocked some new abilities.
* Hallucinations:
Using the gaseous energy that makes his “soul” up, he can cause his victims to experience visual and auditory hallucinations. Scarlett can use it to make his disguise more convincing, or to incapacitate his victims by using their fears against them.
* Manifestation:
This ability is similar to his hallucination ability, but to a much larger scale, but also more limited. He uses this to repair his body if damaged, alter objects and areas to fit his image. And he can also manifest eyestocks, fleshy spikes, and skinless hands to come out from the ground and from the inside of his mouth. (This is the only ability he has when he isn’t inhabiting a physical form.)
* Pocket Dimension:
Scarlett can summon a special stage ring using his manifestation ability. This ring leads to an alternate version of the blue spheres stage. The differences are that there are no spheres, and the sky is pitch black. Once someone is sent here, they won’t be able to leave unless Scarlett takes them out of there. The limitation of this pocket dimension is that only one person plus Scarlett can occupy it.
* Necromancy:
After Scarlett murders his victims, he releases the gas into their bodies and it causes them to become reanimated, however they’re in a state between life and death. They’re aware but unable to control their bodies.
* Agility/Extendable Limbs
While he can no longer run fast, he can still go far distances using his extendable arms and legs. When doing this he makes very little noise. He can also extend his eyes, similar to eyestocks, if needed.
Scarlett can also burrow into the dirt for travel, as he moves quite fast in the ground.
=== Weaknesses ===
While there are multiple things that can damage Scarlett’s physical body, there’s not much that can truly harm him. However, one thing that is deadly to him is chaos energy. Especially the master/chaos emeralds. Due to a combination of the energy that makes up Scarlett’s soul, and the way Sonic’s body reacts to the chaos emeralds, it causes Scarlett to become incapacitated and he begins to convulse violently.
The duration of the incapacitation depends on how much chaos energy Scarlett was exposed to.
If Scarlett is exposed to all seven chaos emeralds, or the master emerald, it causes an overload of energy to get absorbed into his body, and then causes him to explode.
== Trivia ==
* When Scarlett took over Sonic’s body, he gained all of Sonic’s memories. So Scarlett knows exactly who Sonic’s friends are, their flaws, and their fears.
* In Scarlett’s eyes, all Sonic’s friends are imperfect, and he needs to fix their flaws. Any injuries and disfigurements caused is just part of the process.
* Strangely, if Scarlett was outside his own universe, or encounters people that in his universe that aren’t from there, he’s pretty neutral towards them and is even friendly in some cases. Although he is aggressive if provoked.
* Scarlett’s universe takes place after the events of Sonic Mania, with some elements of the Archie and Fleetway comics, and the Sonic OVA mixed in. Also the universe doesn’t take place in a video game or anything of the sort. So Scarlett or anyone in that universe is aware of any higher beings observing them
* Scarlett prefers to be in his normal form than his disguise. It doesn’t hurt him when he’s in that form, but he feels limited in his abilities. So he only uses it when hunting.
* The purple fur around Scarlett’s face and stomach are the result of the gas from Scarlett’s soul staining the fur. The more of his power that he uses, the more his fur will turn purple.
* While Scarlett can repair his body back to the state from when he took over the body, he cannot repair it to look like Sonic before he was killed. So he’ll forever be off color and have an odd smell.
* Due to Scarlett having a broken jaw, whenever he is in his disguise, he forces his mouth shut, so he is unable to speak verbally. However he uses his hallucinations to mimic Sonic’s voice.
