"My world took everything from me. My family, my dignity, my hope, my innocence, my eye, my legs... my love..."
== Backstory ==
After the events of Forces, the jackal species was largely hated, and shunned, or even killed in cold blood. This forced most of the species to go into hiding, and the ones who weren't were killed, or run off. Flynn and his family remained hidden for many months, until their hideout was found and they had to run again. In the act, several of Flynn's family members were killed, including his dad and brother, leaving only him and his mom. After she had evaded the mob, she hid him in a clump of bushes, before continuing to run, causing the mob to miss flynn, though she lost her own life in the process.
Several years later, once the world had finally calmed down, Flynn had grown up, with little knowledge on his family other than they died protecting him. He was shunned by his village and bullied constantly. He found solace in building small bits of tech and problem solving, as well as drawing excessively, venting his emotions and feelings into his drawings. When he started to bring his creations to school, the bullies became worse, threatening him with excessive violence if he didn't stop and give up. Flynn refused, bringing his gadgets to school, and preparing small weapons if the time came.
Then, the bullies struck. He was ambushed on the way to school, and his bag was torn with a knife, causing all of the tech and art within to spill out on the ground, breaking a few of the more fragile tools. Flynn was pinned to the ground as another bully started to slam his bag against a tree over and over again, and they all stomped on items that had spilled out. The bully holding Flynn down watched the other bullies engaging in their wanton destruction, which was a mistake.
He felt a massive pressure on his arm, prying it off. He looked back at Flynn, in confusion, then in horror as a metal arm crushed his hand as if it was nothing, and he was thrown off. Flynn got up shakily, with the arm coming from his back, wired directly into his spine. He looked at all of the other bullies, who froze in fear, before leading a headlong rush back to school, minus the injured one, who was still trying to get up. Flynn walked over to him to help him get up, and just got punched in the eyes for his efforts.
Staggering backward, all 3 of Flynn's hands went to his eye, and ended up slamming the mecha's claws in, completely obliterating his right eye. He screamed, tripped on a root, and went down, fracturing the mecha arm, and passed out from pain and shock. When he woke, several hours had passed, and no one was in sight, and a searing pain emanated from the bloody socket where his eye used to be. Flynn hobbled home, removing the mecha arm and tossing it aside, and looking at his socket in the mirror.
A panic attack immediately set in, and he froze, and was unable to move or tear his gaze away from his missing eye. For a long time, he was unable to comprehend exactly what he was seeing.
He started to make a cybernetic eye to replace the lost one, and eventually succeeded in making a fully functional one though there was the issue of power. Sure, he could use batteries, but they had a tendency to burn out after a few hours. He needed a more powerful source, and after some deliberation, he decided to steal a shard from the master emerald. It's an infinite power source, knuckles surely wouldn't notice if one small bit went missing, would he?
Arriving at the island, it seemed to be abandoned at first, up until Flynn arrived at the master emerald, at which point a red blur of light missed his face by inches. Turning around, a horribly familiar figure stood in front of him. Black fur, red striped spines, red eyes... Shadow the Hedgehog, the one who started this entire mess by killing everyone but the leader of the Jackal Squad, who then became the infamous Infinite in his mad desire for revenge.
Filled with fear, Flynn stumbled backward, away from Shadow. "No, you're not supposed to be here!!!"
"As are you, Jackal. Don't you remember what happened last time a member of your species challenged me? I can see you do, your own fear is emanating from you. Why don't you go run off and put on a mask like he did?"
"You ruined everything... My entire species, hunted to almost a man, all because you were too much of an idiot to finish him off! You didn't think that killing everyone he cared about, then leaving him battered and torn to live with the fact he failed would break him? I know it would break someone, I feel it every day of my life, and it's all your FAULT!"
Flynn launches himself at Shadow, unleashing his mechanical arms as he did so, but before Flynn can react, the arms seem to disappear, leaving only sparking metal and wires in their place, so Flynn resorts to slashing with his claws. Before it connects, Flynn goes flying back, without even having seen Shadow ever move, and slams into a tree. In fear of being killed, Flynn feigns being knocked unconscious. Shadow turns to face him, treating him with contempt, and at his side, and emerald gleams in his clenched hand.
He walks towards Flynn, picks him up, and teleports to the edge of the island. Realizing his plan, Flynn tries to claw the emerald out of his hand, surprising Shadow. In the struggle, the emerald tumbles off the island, and Flynn tries to grab it, but misses, on the lip of the island. He turns around just in time to see Shadow's boot slam into his stomach, and the shockwave knocks him unconscious.

When Flynn comes to, he is laying on a sandy beach. He coughs up blood before using his hands to try and pull himself upright, getting into a sitting position. When he tries to move his legs so he can get up the rest of the way, they don't respond. He tries again, nothing. He's paralyzed from the waist down.
Since he can't walk, he starts to pull himself up the sand bank, exhausted and soaked. He makes it out of the tide's reach before his vision goes black again.
---
When he wakes up again, a white fox is looking down at him, with no hate nor fear in his eyes. The fox is shaking him, trying to wake him up. When Flynn opens his eyes, he notices his right eye has gone dark, run out of juice. He tries to respond, but his mouth is too dry and cracked to produce anything that resembles actual language, only painful sound. The fox pulls out a water flask and pours it into Flynn's mouth, spilling some of it.
After managing to swallow, Flynn manages to croak out a thanks, and the fox immediately tells him to hush before he damages his body further. A small robotic stretcher then arrives, and is wobbly due to not being programmed for sand's shifting nature. As Flynn is assisted onto the stretcher, he forces out," Why are you being... so nice to me? You don't know what my species has done..."
"Your species? Sure, I've heard some tales, but if I dig hard enough, someone else broke them long before they did what they did. The world is evil for treating others like it does, it's why I left to live on this island a long time ago."
"This isl-"
"Shush! You'll hurt yourself. You can ask me all your questions later. Drink this, it'll knock you out for about 2-3 hours, and rehydrate your body during that time."
The fox shoves a tiny cup into Flynn's hands. Flynn looks at him skeptically, and the fox motions for him to go ahead. Flynn, sighing, drinks it, and immediately feels sleepy, and the fox guides him back to prevent him from falling.
---
When Flynn comes back, for the last time, he feels much better, except his legs are still numb. The fox is sitting by him, reading a book, and on a table next to him is a bunch of food, seemingly still hot. The fox sees him sit up, and slides the plate in front of him, sitting on the side of the bed.
"Eat up, you'll want your strength back. How are you feeling otherwise?"
"About normal, except for my legs, which I can't feel at all."
Also, I forgot to ask this the first time, but what's your name? Mine is Reda!"
"I'm Flynn." Flynn speaks around a mouthful of food.
"Now, I wanted to ask you something. How would you feel if I replaced your normal legs with robotic ones? Plus improved that technological eye of yours, which is a massive drain on any sort of power."
Flynn momentarily stops eating, surprised by this. "You'd do something like that? For me?"
Reda reaches, swiping a bit of food off Flynn's fur," Yes, I would."
Flynn freezes at the touch, and the kind words and offer combined break directly through his hardened heart, and a tear rolls from his eye. "You actually care for me? No one's... ever done that before, they always saw me as a bloodthirsty monster like Infinite."
== Profile==
===Appearance===
He looks similar to an unmasked infinite, but with cyan spines. He has cybernetic legs overcharged by fragments of different gemstones.
===Overclocked===
In Overclock Mode, his blue and white stripes glow with neon, pulsating lights, and they can be either as dark as Flynn wants them to be, or as bright as he wants them to be. The stripes appear to have been cracked into him, his black fur parting for this neon glowing fur. His clothing and spines will remain unaffected.
===Personality ===
He is quiet, and projects a sorrowful aura. He only talks when he has to, and is blunt in telling people things, often causing others to assume he is lacking in the brains department. If they fight him based on this assumption, they will quickly find out they are mistaken, as his battle strategies took out Eggman and Metal Sonic, Sonic and Tails, as well as Shadow. He will not hesitate to attack others he views as a perceptible threat, and refuses to get to attached, as he is searching for an alternate timeline where his boyfriend, Reda, is still alive.
==Powers and Abilities==
===Cybernetic Legs===
His cybernetic legs are where most of his power is stored, and it allows him to run at light speed, and he can kick with great force using them. He can actually manipulate reality through the gem energy stored in them, making him able to perform feats such as walking on air using an energy bridge unsupported by anything, teleporting, or opening portals. He also has shown minimal telekinesis, such as lifting a chair, or breaking a window.
====Overclock Mode====
This is essentially his super form, in which the nanos glow whitish-blue, and he can create illusions, manipulate time at will, and throw energy spears similar to Chaos Spears around freely.
===Cybernetic Eye===
His eye allows him to sense energy sources nearby, and access any information on a certain individual instantly, by hacking into that world's database. He knows every dimension he has been through, and he has seen the likes of Seelkadoom, and Solaire, but was smart enough to bail on those worlds quickly, due to the massive energy signature emitting from them. His eye also allows him to sense any robotic material, or any signature of chaos/paradox/phantom energy.
====Overclock Mode====
He can use the eye to see past, present and future as if the events were happening right in front of him.
