Silence the Hyena

Silence is a hyena humanoid/Mobian who's part of Team Dragoon. He is owned by Hero of Team Dragoon.
== History ==
Silence grew up in the dunes of Dusty Desert, among one of the hyena packs that roamed the area. Ever since he was a little kid, he had been obsessed with hiding and stealth, the exact opposite of what most hyenas did. He always preferred a game of hide and seek over races or play-fighting. Some hyenas took him up on the game(it's a desert, where's to hide?) But he always managed to avoid them. Because of this, many of the hyenas ostracized him for acting different. His parents, while supportive due to his relative skill in other areas, constantly pressured him to act more in line with the rest of the pack. Seeing this, Silence decided to double down, and prove that stealth was just as effective as chasing prey down. To this end, he would seek out something to take down. 
What he found were a pack of Ghost Wisps. Silence successfully caught two, but before he could grab the rest, the two in his hand forced intangibility on him. Now unable to hold them, Silence tried to attack, but went right through them. Shocked at this, he just looked at himself, not only confused by this, but intrigued by the wonder of what they could do. Predictably though, the Ghost Wisps ran. For a while after, Silence would track the Ghost Wisps and attempt to apologize and make friends, but they kept running out of fear. Eventually, just as Silence was about to try one more time, he gave up, seeing it as a lost cause, and walked away in disappointment. The Ghost Wisps noticed, and curious about such odd behavior from what they thought was a wild predator, followed Silence back, from a safe distance.
When Silence got home, he would try to get some of his pack to join him in a game of Hide and Seek, but they laughed in his face, saying no real hyena has fun hiding. Hurt, Silence would head out to practice hiding alone, which is when a Ghost Wisp would take a risk and attempt to comfort this seemingly sad individual. When the Ghost Wisp touched him, Silence was spooked, which spooked the Wisp, but before the Ghost Wisp got out of earshot, Silence managed to get out that he was sorry. The Wisp stopped mid flee, and got closer to hear the rest. Silence went on to say that the initial attack was out of a desire to prove himself to his pack, but that they were way too neat to kill. He then left to return to his pack, and the Ghost Wisps decided that maybe he wasn't so bad after all, and followed him back.
When Silence got back with the Wisps, his pack immediately saw them as prey and attempted to attack them, but Silence protected them. Deciding that "those pathetic creatures deserve one another", the pack let them be, and this would motivate what would come later. Silence would quickly build a bond with the five Wisps through a combination of protecting them and a shared love of Hide and Seek. The six of them would play that game all day, at least until Silence and one of the Ghost Wisps fused on accident. They then decided they would prove the worth of hiding as a attack strategy themselves, through a unending string of jumpscares towards random members of the pack. He ended up using the Ghost color power so much that it eventually colored his eyes green. Everyone disliked it and wanted to get revenge, but Silence's parents, seeing that if he could catch people by surprise to scare them, he could probably do it to hunt them too, protected him from the backlash and attacks. These actions would earn him the nickname of "Ghost Kid" 
Eventually, Silence would grow old enough to join the older members of the pack on hunts, but even with his proven skill at surprising, and great hunting record, Silence would still be disrespected for hunting "like a coward". Seeing that his pack would not be convinced, Silence decided to look for someone who could. He left the pack and even the desert he grew up in to find someone or something that would find his talents in stealth useful. Eventually, he found the Restoration. Upon discussing his talents, he would be seen as a great fit for the Badnik Corps, and would join them shortly after, gaining a Hover Wispon and Hover Wisp to go with it. 
=== The Team Dragoon Era ===
At first, Silence was one of the multiple Badnik Corps members to work alone, as most teams didn't think his stealth focused fighting style could ever work with the rest of them. In time though, Silence would be found by Team Dragoon, who would invite him to join them. Silence, in denial that he was lonely, joined Team Dragoon under the pretense of it being more efficient to work with another team, though that pretense would drop as he worked alongside Team Dragoon. Soon enough sadly, Alas would betray the team, taking Silence's Hover Wispon and Hover Wisp along with the many others. Now without a Wispon, Silence asked for a Ghost Wispon, a unprecedented Wispon type, but a challenge Tails readily took, crafting the first and only Ghost Wispon for Silence, a rocket launcher with invisible rockets.
Despite a rocket launcher seeming antithetical to stealth, Silence would quickly figure out the best ways to use the Ghost Wispon in stealth based combat, dubbing it the Silencer. As Team Dragoon rised to the number one spot among the teams, Silence would continue fighting the way he always had. Soon though, he and Team Dragoon would begin experiencing many dimensional adventures, including meeting Mario and Co during the Olympic Games. Throughout the wild adventures through the dimensions, thanks to stealth not always being a guarantee, Silence developed ways to use the Silencer as a melee weapon.
Between dimensional adventures, Silence would often hang out with Whisper and Lanolin on training exercises, learning from them while having fun along the way. He would also be the most vocal proponent of Alan doing something other than fighting baddies on his time between missions with the Badnik Corps, encouraging him to try videogames, which would often drive them into fights if Alan tried avoiding it.
Like his friends though, Silence's family was captured by Eggman to lure him and his friends into a trap involving the new Iron Series Badniks. They were freed, but Silence suffered a deep cut through his arms, leaving a decent scar and taking him out of action for a few weeks. Just as he fully recovered, Whisper would ask to join them, and like his teammates, Silence agreed, forming the Diamond Dragoons.
== Appearance ==
Silence has orange and white fur, and wears a silent variant of Badnik Corps armor most of the time, as well as silent shoes. During the Olympic Games though, Silence wears appropriate sportswear in white. Because of living in Dusty Desert for his childhood, Silence wears a heavy jacket and boots in cold environments to keep warm.
== Personality ==
Silence has a personality similar to Whisper. Both of them are similarly reserved. But unlike Whisper, who's deeply emotional and doesn't express much of anything besides extremes, Silence deep down wants to have fun with his friends and talk about what he likes, which is hard to lock back in him if you draw it out. He's also naturally cooperative, seeking mutually beneficial agreements whenever possible, but Alan just drives him up the wall.
== Abilities ==
Silence was born without superpowers, but he did gain some when the Power Asteroid passed overhead. He also has developed a unnaturally high top speed because of Sonic's various visits, like all Sonic's friends do. As well, at some point, Silence and his friends were taught how to rail grind by Sonic, Silence picking it up just after Srish. His fighting style is a lot like a sniper's, heavily reliant on being far enough away to safely fire his Wispon, with him only being able to use the Wispon as a club when close to a enemy.
== Transformations ==
=== Super Silence ===
When Silence uses the positive and negative energy of the seven Chaos Emeralds, he can take on this form. In it, he gains all the benefits of a Super State, but is quieter than most other Super States. He also powers up his Wisps, who gain the ability to use their transformations on their own and allow Silence access to the Super Ghost color power. In terms of appearance, he's mostly a glowy green, with small patches of gold on his chest and near his hands and feet. He has a rising super aura.
=== Super Ghost ===
Super Ghost functions a lot like Ghost, but with it's intangibility mode also emitting super energies that can destroy things. It's duration is also enhanced, and it doesn't tire out the Wisp, allowing for constant uptime.
=== Omni Energy Silence ===
Like his friends, Silence once fused with every wisp known of at the time to obtain this form. In it, he can use the powers of all the Wisps.
=== Superpowered Silence ===
When the Power Asteroid passed overhead, Silence gained the ability to make anything or anyone silent through slightly concentrating on it. After that day, he could reactivate those powers for one hour using Power Energy.
== Dimensional Dreaming ==
Like his friends, Silence experiences dimensional dreams on occasion due to his explorations through dimensions. The character he takes the role of is Mario, though with a different personality similar to his.
