Doctor Robotnik (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

Doctor Robotnik is the main antagonist of the AngieYaz/RoseOfSharon reboot of Sonic Underground. He is a Overlander over Mobius who is assisted in his schemes by Sleet and Dingo, whom he pressured into working for him. In addition, he also has Scratch, Grounder, Skarlet and Metal Sonic. As far as biological kids go, he is the father of Cecil Tinker and Simone Robotnik, as well as Sage Robotnik.
Just like in the original cartoon series, Robotnik is voiced by Garry Chalk.
==Appearance==
Robotnik has many different design changes. First off, he has a longer and more colored mustache then in the normal games. He also has a roboticized arm after an incident that happened to him in the Underground. He wears a long belt going around his waist. His boots are shorter and more colorful. Finally, he sports a cape, supported by big, heavy shoulder pads. Dr. Robotnik was modified specifically to look like he were a mechanic.
While planning for his alleged wedding to Queen Aleena Hedgehog (and later during the royal adoption ceremony), Robotnik wore a white militaristic uniform with red ribbons across the front, black-and-red epaulets, a red fur lined mantle, medals on the left side of his breast and a bearskin hat.
==History==
===TV series===
Dr. Robotnik, the current head of his aristocratic family the House of Robotnik, began his rule by seizing the great city of Mobotropolis from the current monarchs, Queen Aleena and King Jules, and had it converted into his capital city: Robotropolis. After a bounty was placed on the one-year-old children of the queen and king, they were forced to go into hiding. Meanwhile, Dr. Robotnik roboticized each citizen but keep the wealthy around to help fund his pollution-spewing factories, which created SWATBots, mechanical horses and appliances and goods for the wealthy. Queen Aleena and King Jules were forced to separate with their offspring after hearing a prophecy from the Oracle of Delphius, spoken first to him by the gods (albeit through tears). Dr. Robotnik would have each of the children’s caretakers (their maternal uncle and the Windermeres) captured and roboticized. Yet resistance was met in the form of the king and queen’s children, who were now grown. Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonia, and Manic, now part of a musical band would grow to be the biggest enemy in Dr. Robotnik’s rule since he and his aristocratic bloodline came into power. A few years prior, his wife Eda died. He was left deeply heartbroken and devastated by the loss of his wife, and this ulrimately became a prime motivation for him to forbid music from Mobius, seeing it as a painful reminder of Eda's death.
While Robotnik mostly stayed on the sidelines during the ongoing war with the resistance, one of the major things he did in the beginning was where he tried to destroy Sonic. However, it backfired when Sonic foiled his plans. He only captured Sonic successfully one time, Sonia a couple times, and Manic multiple times. One of the more famous incidents was where Sonia was faced with a choice to save either Manic or Sonic; if she refused, both would be subject to the Roboticizer.
Another of these incidents was his signing of an act of attainder against Bartleby MontClair, denying him the opportunity to defend himself in open court, thus condemning him to roboticization without trial and revoking all of his and his family's titles, money, lands and estates.
He was eventually defeated in the ensuing final battle that followed, and Mobius was restored to prosperity and peace.
==Personality==
Robotnik is a cruel, sadistic, despicable, cantankerous, ruthless, and egotistical human—much like Kings Henry VIII and Richard II. This is due to heartbreak and grief from the tragic death of his beloved wife, Eda. He has a relatively short temper as a result, causing him to have fits of angry childish outbursts when his plans do not succeed or when the Hedgehogs are not caught. In such situations, he is prone to unload his aggression on those around him (usually on Snively, Sleet and Dingo). He also does not hesitate to invoke physical harm on others when he is in a foul mood or angry. He also hates insults and the way Snively and Sleet talk about him behind his back.
Robotnik is often brash and overconfident with his designs. The personal grudge he holds against Sonic and the Hedgehog Dynasty frequently clouds his better judgment. This is shown when he took the chance to fire a missile at Sonic even though his escape pod was short on fuel and if he had fired the missile, he would have crashed (but the missile did not fire because of circuitry damage). However, he is still very a repulsive character, and is not above lying and backstabbing others to accomplish his goals. When talking, he sometimes speaks in a very sinister tone.
Robotnik is generally calm, collected, sardonic, and calculating. He seems to lack redeeming qualities, being generally depicted as a completely repulsive and irredeemable fiend, though again this is due to the sadness he feels over the death of his wife. Like the typical despot, however, all Robotnik wants is power, his desire being for everything and everyone on Mobius to obey only him and to control all that is alive, robotic or otherwise. He is likewise utterly ruthless and relentless in his quest for unquestioned dominance, and takes absolute glee in terrorizing his enemies and sadistically toying with them before moving in to finish them off.
However, he can show kindness to his enemies on occasion. For example, when he captured Trevor, he spoke in a sweet, gentle tone with even him placing the Nocturn-a-Tron headpiece on Trevor's head being done gently so he isn't hurt or made uncomfortable. He also has a lot of love and trust in the warriors he creates himself, such as Metal Sonic, Scratch, Grounder, ART and Skarlet.
Robotnik is incredibly vain and has an extremely narcissistic and self-absorbed personality, which was not present when Eda was still alive. He is even unwilling to even share power with his employee, Snively, despite the latter only wanting to be co-dominant to Robotnik and not above him, showing that Robotnik can rarely tolerate the vicinity of any being who is equal to himself. He desires the company of robots and psychologically battered down psychophonetic humans like Snively.
Having little respect or care for the ecosystem or environment of Mobius, in contrast to his wife but exactly like his father Gerald, Robotnik thrives in polluted environments. Noticeably, he was very pleased by the exhaust fumes and pollutants that he was supposed to spread across the whole world. In fact, Robotnik seems to hate anything that is organic and alive (with the exception of himself), with his ultimate goal being to wipe out everything alive on Mobius. Even when dealing with at least sme of his family, Robotnik is shown to be abusive and brutal, as displayed by his treatment of Snively. However, he doesn't treat his mother and father this way, and he is very loving towards his beloved wife, who is also Cecil, Sage and Simone's mother.
Due to being corrupted by the powerful magics from a book of spells, Robotnik desires absolute authority over everyone and everything, and he will go to extreme lengths to maintain his powerful position. In fact, he would sooner allow the world to be destroyed, along with himself, than see his grip of power be relinquished back to the Hedgehog Dynasty, the rightful ruling family of Mobius. On top of that, not even mass infanticide is off the table for this madman (with he exception of his children), as he would destroy Sanctuary, a place where Freedom Ffighters raise their infants and children, just to permanently quell any and all resistance to him. Like any corrupt politician, Robotnik can lie, deceive, and manipulate people, and Robotnik's "leadership" carefully blends coercion with manipulation, as those loyal and useful to him enjoy prosperous lives, while enemies or underperforming minions are disposed of quickly (usually through roboticization or, in some cases, execution). While the loyal elite live comfortably, the lower classes live in abject squalor thanks to overtaxing, and those who fail to work hard enough face roboticization or death. On one occasion, he even announced that he would marry Queen Aleena herself in a forced marriage, not caring on whether or not this would violate Mobian marriage and/or succession laws.
Robotnik is a cultured, refined, and snobbish aristocrat who's mastery of engineering is matched only by his Machiavellian leadership skills. As well as being a brutal dictator, Robotnik also leads through manipulation, granting or withholding privileges in order to divide and generate friction among the masses and keep them loyal to him. Indeed, the wealthy elite can live prosperous, comfortable lives, while the lower working class cowers in fear. Any who object to this are targeted by Robotnik's troops and roboticized, stripping them of their free will. Robotnik is something of a social Darwinist, and firmly believes those who are weak or cannot serve him any purpose or function are unworthy of freedom, and therefore need to be improved upon by being turned into robots.
Robotnik seems to show disdain for casual hobbies or emotional attachments, and does not indulge in hedonistic pursuits himself, preferring to devote his waking hours to bringing about order and expanding his influence over the people of Mobius. The only time he ever really seems happy is when he is harming others. While he can at times be a little eccentric and kind to some as mentioned before, he is willing to commit mass murder of babies/children and even kill underperforming minions, rendering him a complete sociopath. In fact, he is so obsessed with power that he would sooner die along with the entire world if he cannot rule it himself.
==Quotes==
*"I'm declaring war on the resistance!"
*"Next time, Hedgehogs!"
*"Now, for starters; I'm going to close my eyes and count to 10. It'll make this finale very interesting, not for you, but, for me."
*"Mr. Sonic Hedgehog-Celeritas. Before the sun sets today, you too, will be walking down the aisle. Not to your precious rose, oh no, but to the Roboticizer!"
==Powers and abilities==
Dr. Robotnik is heavily built, and his girth serves as a kind of armor that can bounce back light physical blows, as seen when an amnesiac Snively attempted to hit him. His main strength, however, lies in his intellect. His obsession for Sonic aside, Robotnik is a brilliant scientist and a very intelligent strategist. He has developed various plans and machines, which he has used on various occasions against Sonic. He can also keep tabs on all his activities to achieve the most benefits. As a testament to this ability, he has managed to gain control over almost the entirety of Mobius. Robotnik is also a capable pilot, being able to operate and pilot many of his machines, although he often leaves the piloting task to Snively. He also knows how to quickly deduce the strategies of his opponents, which allows him to often quickly prepare a counterattack.
===Equipment===
Robotnik wears a pair of rocket boots which allow him to fly and hover in midair. Sometimes, he also makes use of Laser Rifles and similar weapons.
==Relationships==
===Cluck===
Despite the fact that Robotnik seems heartless, he did have a sort spot for his mechanical bird Cluck, which was the only thing he showed any real attachment to. In fact, Dr. Robotnik was shown to care very much for Cluck and would often repair him gently whenever he got broken.
===Eda Robotnik===
Robotnik deeply loved his wife Eda. He desperately tried to find a cure for her illness, but was largely unsuccessful. Her death devastated him.
===Cecil Tinker and Simone Robotnik===
Robotnik loved his twin children, Ceciul and Simone, very much. However, when their mother died he became distant towards them.
===Sage Robotnik===
Robotnik loved and adored his youngest daughter Sage. When Cescenda Hedgehog, a robot with the appearance of Princess Sonia as a hedgehoglet, was activated and began crying, he called her crying "delightful" before he softly gasped to himself, being reminded of Sage's cry when she was a baby. Tearing up, he quickly motioned for Sleet to turn Crescenda's cry off, which he did.
===Scratch===
Despite the fact that Robotnik seems heartless, he did have a sort spot for his mechanical bird Scratch, whom he also shows attachment too. In fact, Dr. Robotnik was shown to care very much for Scratch and would often repair him gently whenever he got damaged or broken.
===Grounder===
Despite the fact that Robotnik seems heartless, he did have a sort spot for his mechanical mole Grounder, whom he also shows attachment to. In fact, Dr. Robotnik was shown to care very much for Grounder and would often repair him gently whenever he got damahed or broken.
===Metal Sonic===
Built to be Sonic's metallic copy, Robotnik cares for him and regards him as his "son". In fact, Dr. Robotnik was shown to care very much for Metal Sonic and would often repair him gently whenever he got damaged or broken.
===Snively===
Despite Snively being his only known employee, Robotnik cares very little for him, treating him as little more than an underling whilst frequently threatening or belittling him. This has lead Snively to despise him, though it does little to make him any less fearful of his wrath. Curiously, despite Snively's repeated failures, Robotnik continues to keep him both alive and unroboticized, leaving him the only non-automaton the tyrant trusts with carrying out his plans without deception.
===Sonic the Hedgehog===
Sonic the Hedgehog is Robotnik's arch enemy, and the biggest thorn in his side, with the hedgehog and his siblings having foiled many of his plans on several occasions. As time went on, Robotnik became generally obsessive over getting revenge on Sonic, eventually to the point that he would cast aside common sense in order to get rid of him. Despite them being arch enemies however, Robotnik does not want to simply eliminate Sonic and ensure the prophecy remains unfulfilled. Rather, he wants to either roboticize Sonic so that he will serve him as his slave, put him to sleep so his dream energy can power his pollution-spewing factories or imprison him in the dungeons.
Despite his hatred for Sonic though, when he faced Sonic in the final battle, Robotnik admitted that he considered Sonic to be "a most worthy adversary" and that he was "almost sorry that it's over".
===Allies===

*Snively
 
===Enemies===
*Freedom Fighters

==Trivia==
*The design of this version of Robotnik recycles the version of himself that appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog television series, though changing minor things such as changing the lower half of his outfit to black and completely covering the skin on his right bicep.
*He is the inventor of the Roboticizer and the Sleeper drones.
*In addition to his style of governance from the original cartoon, Robotnik's usurpation also resembles the governances of Caligula, Richard II of England and even Hitler.
*He is allies with Hoggish Greedly, Verminous Skumm, Doctor Blight, and Looten Plunder.
*In addition to calling him "Robuttnik", Sonic also calls him "Eggman" as well.
*Although the art of Robotnik supplied in this article displays him with yellow shoulderpads, they were red in the actual show, similar to that of the Robotnik from the Sonic the Hedgehog television series.
*Unlike the original series' version of Robotnik, this version does not hate music per se. The reason why he outlawed it was because he just gets bored with it after a while.
*He was one of the people responsible for the death of Fox McCloud's father, James McCloud.
*After Robotnik took over Mobius, Father Snow enacted revenge on him by giving him coal every Wintermas for every act he ever did of oppressing the people. Unfortunately, this would backfire on Snow, as the skies of Robotropolis became even more polluted than before.
*He had a robot horse custom-made for him when he took over Mobius. It resembles a Clydesdale-Shire crossbreed, and it is one of the largest robotic horses kept in the stables of the royal palace after Robotnik was killed.
