Zyx the Hedgehog

Zyx the Hedgehog is a character first appearing in Silver the Hedgehog: Zyx. He is a golden hedgehog with powerful electrokinetic abilities as well as unnamed shadow powers, and is nearly unrivalled in Chaos arts.
==Important Notice==
Please note that RPs and the like have NO effect on any of the rest of my fanfics. This goes for not only Zyx but ANY of my characters. Understood? Good. Elsewise I'll strike you with a Chaos Light.
==Appearance and Attitude==
Zyx's fur is a bright golden, with jagged streaks of black on his arms, legs, and quills. His quills, however, change depending on his mood - when he is calm or hyperactive, they are similar to Sonic's; when he is angry or baited, the flare up like Shadow's; when he is confused or curious, they appear similar to Silver's. His eyes are a bright silver.
Similarily to Silver, Zyx is somewhat cocky, and like Shadow, he seems to think of himself as unstoppable. Upon discovering that Stonefist's defeat will give him the complete set of Black Emeralds, he treats Shadow like a two-year-old, and when he manages to defeat Darkstrike, he kills him and the other Nightmakers ruthlessly with a Chaos Blast.
In Sonic and the Reaper, he essentially 'changes sides' and starts a slaughter on Mobius after drawing power from the Chaos and Master Emeralds to ascend to his Reaper form; however, he only accepts this change because the Dark Master has shown him that his dark powers are able to kill with ease. This shows that he seems to prefer power, hence his slaughter and pure destruction.
==Abilities==
Like most hedgehogs, Zyx is able to run at high speeds; however, his speed is quite different from most hedgehogs. When running, he can reach Mach 1, but only by exerting himself fully, as opposed to Sonic, who reaches this speed at ease; as such, he can't hold up this speed for extended periods of time. Also, his strength levels are similar to Shadow's; with the same level of exertion, he can move or break objects that are too heavy for him to lift. He is an even balance of the three types of characters; speed, power, and flight (we'll get to that last one later).
Zyx is a worthy opponent in battle. For starters, he is an electrokinetic; he can coat his body in electricity, summon lightning bolts from even the emptiest skies, launch lightning from his hands, race around an opponent to cause an electric tornado, and can strike an opponent as though physically with the electricity by making the appropriate movements towards a foe, and that's just scratching the surface.
He is also able to use unnamed shadow abilities. These range from simply causing weak darkness to throw off opponents to becoming darkness itself. He is currently known to be able to coat himself in darkness for bursts of speed and flight, teleporting with the darkness, phasing through an opponent's grip by briefly becoming shadows, and locking an opponent in darkness. When transformed, he can even flat-out kill an opponent with a streak of pure darkness.
Alongside electrokinesis and shadows, Zyx is also a master of Chaos arts (and, after transforming via Sol Emeralds, Sol arts), parallel to Shadow the Hedgehog. He is able to utilize everything listed here at one point or another, and is even knowledgeable as to the types of Chaos arts that can be Cross-utilized. Zyx is also one of the only creatures that can utilize the Black Emeralds and their master, the Newmoon Emerald, with the other users being the Nightmakers.
He is also able to, with the use of the Black and Newmoon Emeralds, attain many empowered forms. Though most of these are able to be mimicked with the Chaos and Master Emeralds, as well as the Sol Emeralds and Jeweled Scepter, attempting to reach his ultimate form with these Emeralds as substitution causes a dangerous... problem, I guess would be a better term than 'form'.
==History==
===Origin===
Zyx is a Black Chaos entity, formed from the energy of the Black Emeralds. He was created purely for the sake of defending the power of the Black Emeralds, along with the Newmoon Emerald, from the Nightmakers, who forged them through mysterious means. As the first Chaos artist and an electrokinetic, he was nearly unstoppable by the Nightmakers until they managed to get six of the seven Black Emeralds from him.
Nevertheless, he managed to steal the Emeralds back and, using their power, locked the Nightmakers in a Chaos Shatter, trapping them in an alternate timespace. However, before he managed to do that, two of the Nightmaker generals managed to subdue him; a echidna with bladed fingers managed to trap him in the Newmoon Emerald, and a humanoid stone creature blanched his memories.
After this had been done, Zyx was trapped in the Newmoon Emerald, and the nightmakers were locked in the Chaos Shatter. The skill had caused a huge dimensional tear that caused the barren planet that was their battlefield to thrive, bringing Mobius into being. In this vivid world, the Black Emeralds had no purpose, and so they vanished, but not before creating the Chaos Emeralds, equivalent gems that could be used by anyone and held positive and negative energies. The Newmoon Emerald likewise departed, creating the Master Emerald upon vanishing, and taking Zyx with him.
===Silver the Hedgehog: Zyx===
In this game, Silver the Hedgehog meets Zyx as he emerges onto Mobius, although the Black Chaos entity has no sharp memories aside from his name and his abilities. He still has vague, faded memories of the Nightmakers, and he knows he needs to find the Black Emeralds before the Nightmakers do. Allowing Silver to assist him (and eventually, though unwillingly, Sonic and Shadow as well), he manages to find the seven Black Emeralds and defeat the Nightmaker generals one by one.
When the four generals combine into a single entity, Judgement, he ascends to his Super Form and defeats them by utilizing a Cross Chaos Blast, shattering them apart. After the Black Emeralds are taken from him, he takes on Chaos Form and takes off to a mountain in the shape of the Newmoon Emerald. He then manages to ascend to Hyper Form after reobtaining the Black Emeralds (for about thirty seconds) and reforming the Newmoon Emerald, then drawing its power and fighting Darkstrike's empowered form, Ultimate Darkstrike.
Once Darkstrike is taken out, Zyx locks him in a Chaos Shatter; however, when Darkstrike shouts that he cannot bear another millenium in the alternate timespace, Zyx kills him ruthlessly with a Chaos Blast, then powers down and leaves, eventually taking Silver's cave for his own.
===Sonic and the Reaper===
In Sonic and the Reaper, Zyx is met by the Dark Master and shown that his shadow abilities are able to kill with ease, demonstrating on none other than Big the Cat. useless bundle of weight. Anyways, after this, Zyx is the main antagonist, ascending to his Reaper form (twice) and killing most of Mobius, be it living creature or static structure.
He goes to great lengths to attempt to kill Sonic and his team, from hypnotizing Infera and Blaze (and transforming Amy, as well as admitting love to her) to tricking Metal Sonic into joining him (yeah, that did not go well) to even bringing the Dark Master to full power, in the process killing Sonic.
And Sonic and the Reaper ends there. If you say anything about it me (or possibly Ryushu) is going to put you in one of the Shadow Android stasis pods.
