Yan the Dumbass Hedgehog

Yan Cornelius The Dumbass, also known as Yan the Hedgehog or more commonly just Yan is a character created for Season 1 of Bux. He is a purple-quilled anthropomorphic hedgehog, and a recolour of Sonic the Hedgehog. His name is pronounced as Yawn in American English or Yarn in British English.
- Yan's official theme song, "The Worst Of The Worst"
==General Information==
===Appearance===
Yan is an anthropomorphic hedgehog. He is a recolour of Sonic, as he was one of 6 characters created for Bux Season 1, involving recolours of the playable cast from Sonic Robo Blast 2. Yan has purple quills and tan skin - the specific shade of purple is inconsistent usually varies between Waluigi Purple and Wario Purple. He has cyan-green shoes and eyes, and wears steel blue gloves. He wears a pair of glasses due to his piss poor vision.
===Personality===
Yan is said to be slightly annoying and easily keeps grudges. He can be aggressive and confrontational at times and will happily ramble about his interests. Yan is hated to an extent by universally everyone who knows of his existence on Mobius, though he has positive relationships with most of the Bux Crew.
Yan RESENTS Arid Canyon Zone, specifically the pulleys at the end of Act 1. The final section of ACZ1 from Sonic Robo Blast 2 involves traversing across a vast bottomless pit. This section is notoriously awful for Sonic, Amy and Fang since they cannot take major shortcuts, and have no way to save themselves if they fall (unless they took the whirlwind shield from the previous room). GenericMalachi iconically spent several dozens of attempts getting through the section as Sonic on his first playthrough, and this hatred for it was passed into Yan's character.
He is designed to be dislikeable, yet remains one of the most loved characters in the series. For this, his character can be compared to that of Jax from The Amazing Digital Circus and Clause from Len'en Project.
===Abilities===
Yan has fast running speed, typical of Mobian hedgehogs. Yan has the powerful ability to "use images as actual items". This allows him to bring any image file he has access to into existence. The exact extent of this power and the properties of images brought into reality are unknown.
==Background==
Yan had always been unpopular, disliked by all. After noticing the success of how Dr. Eggman's creation - Metal Sonic - was designed to be perfect, he wanted to do the same. After somehow stumbling across the blueprints crafted by the doctor, Yan created a robotic clone of himself. However, Metal Yan was too perfect. He immediately became popular, and stole all of Yan's chances at popularity. Metal still teases and irritates Yan to this day, and the two have a fierce rivalry despite both being part of the Bux Crew.
==Relationships==
======Metal Yan======
Yan is Metal Yan's creator. The two hate each other and became rivals after Metal Yan became extremely popular and loved whereas Yan was forgettable and treated like a joke. 
======Yin======
Yin is said to have been one of Yan's only few friends from his past, but they both forgot about each other. For Yin this was caused by amnesia, but for Yan this was due to "losing everything to Metal Yan".
======The Bux Crew======
Yan is in a friend group alongside Ruby, Curls, Recol, Chekawa and Metal Yan, all living under the same roof. Yan is constantly a victim of Curls' trolling, especially with cases such as the Sulfuric Acid Incident, though he does not hold as much hatred for Curls as he does for Metal Yan.
==Notable Appearences==
===Bux Mod (FNF)===
Yan is one of the 3 main playable characters in the Bux mod for Friday Night Funkin'. His week has the songs Dumbass Pulley (vs The Horse), Big Shitty Running (vs. Metal Yan and Curls) and Trigonemistri (Vs. T-Man). Yan's week occurs roughly before all the other weeks, with Dumbass Pulley being the first Bux-related song in the timeline.

== Trivia ==
*Yan appears to be a self-insert of GenericMalachi, sharing his interests and belief that nobody likes him (both of them are wrong. LOVE YOURSELF NOW 🌩️).
*For some reason, Yan always looks stressed whenever people talk about sawblades.
*His Super Smash Bros. main would be either Lucas or Pichu.
*"Dumbass" is Yan's surname, meaning "Cornelius The" is his middle name.
*Yan supposedly transforms into Coldsteel the Hedgehog after collecting all 7 Sol Emeralds. He once got lost in Greenflower Zone Act 1 looking for the emeralds.
*Yan the Dumbass (Hedgehog) is super fast and uses his super speed to do things like beat GFZ1 in under 8 minutes! And also speedrun Helltaker. Metal Yan bullies him for this but he also speedruns Helltaker.
**Who's Metal Yan?
* The major reason Yan is unpopular with the ladies is because he can't make a grilled cheese. He does make some mean macaronis though.
*Yan's favourite food: Eggs. (Note from David: ew)
