Jack The Coyote

"It's a pity you hedgehogs have such a bad memory. Oh well, my swords should spark some memory. And if they don't, at least they'll spark fire." -Jack the Coyote to Violetta the Hedgehog(Sonic Syndrome Issue #2)
Jack The Coyote is a character that appears in the Sonic Syndrome fan comic series. He is a member of the Resistance and a former commander of the South Resistance.
== Appearance ==
Jack is a slim anthropomorphic coyote with purple fur covering most of his body, and white on his muzzle and chest fur. He has large triangle shaped ears on the top of his head and a large bushy tail. For his attire, Jack wears brown gloves, brown boots, a belt with a small pouch on the side, and brown straps across his torso which hold his swords. Jack has orange eyes and a small fang hanging out of the side of his mouth. 
== Personality ==
Jack has a very cocky and arrogant personality. Though he does not show it off like Sonic, he believes himself to be the worlds greatest warrior. He often competes to prove he is greater than others, and is irritated when he loses to someone. Though he is usually cocky, he can also be very caring and sympathetic. Many times in battle he will even spare some out of feeling sorry for them. 
Jack is also very headstrong. He is stubborn and immovable. Once he has set his mind on something, it cannot be changed. He never listens to anyone because he feels he always has the correct mindset and no one else is right. 
Another key trait of Jack is his temper. Jack can get very angry at times, especially when provoked. Jack's anger can grow so high that he loses control. It usually hard to calm down Jack once he has gotten angry. Jack is very independent and prefers to work alone, though he usually has to team up with Sonic and friends because of dangerous circumstances to out of reach for himself. Jack also possesses a love for music. He likes to listen to music because it helps him calm down, as does gardening.
== Powers and Abilities ==
One of Jack's most notable abilities is his incredible skill in combat. Jack is a master in Wing Chun and several other martial arts including Hapkido, Taekwondo, Jiu-Jutsu, and Shaolin Kung Fu. Jack has mastered his skills to the point of surpassing his master, Wolf who was a former grandmaster of Kung Fu. Along with hand-to-hand combat, Jack is also very skilled with weapons. He is able to masterfully wield katanas. He is known as one of the greatest sword-fighters in the world. Along with that, he is also skilled in throwing kunai blades. 
As well as being a skilled fighter, Jack also possesses extreme speed and strength. He is able to keep a steady distance with Sonic, barely trailing him. He is also incredibly strong, being able to lift almost as much as Knuckles The Echidna. Jack also has great reflexes. He is able to detect movement near him because of his incredible hearing ability. He is also able to dodge bullets and lasers, and he has even been shown to catch bullets in his fingers. 
Jack is also able to create and control fire. He initially needed to charge up enough anger to do this, but he was later able to do it without this. Another of Jack's abilities is his smelling. He is able to smell very well and track people and objects, but refuses to do so as he says it is "degrading." 
== Transformations ==
=== Super Jack ===
By harnessing the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds, Jack is able to transform into Super Jack. In this form, Jack has enhanced speed and strength, as well as the ability to fly. He is also able to create energy blasts. In this form, Jack's fur turns orange and his eyes turn red.
==== Fury Jack ====
By charging up enough anger and rage, Jack can become Fury Jack(otherwise known as Fury Mode). In this form, Jack's whole body is covered by fire flames and his eyes are fully yellow. He is able to use his fire to full potential, and he has enhanced speed and strength, along with the ability to fly. He is also able to teleport. In this form, Jack is much more aggressive and dangerous. 
== Weaknesses ==
While not having any physical weaknesses, Jack's sometimes sympathetic nature can get him off-guard. When Jack feels sorry for his foe or they remind him of his deceased love-interest, Diane The Coyote, Jack will spare them or stop fighting. This can be a disadvantage because while he is off-guard, enemies can use this to beat him while he is not at his full potential. 
== Relationships ==
=== Cream The Rabbit ===
Cream The Rabbit is often shown to be Jack's best friend, despite her being much younger than him. Cream is shown to be the one person Jack is never mad at, and she tends to cheer him up. When first meeting, Jack was rude towards Cream because he was upset, though she tried cheering him up later despite this. This kindness led the two to become great friends. Cream regularly hangs out with Jack. Jack pretends to mostly ignore her to keep his rough reputation, but he does enjoy her company. Jack is shown to be a mentor type to Cream. He teaches her many life-lessons and he even taught her self-defense. 
==== Violetta The Hedgehog ====
Violetta is Jack's arch-rival. The two despise each other. Both are very arrogant and competitive with each other. While Jack does not fully hate Violetta, he thinks she is very annoying because of her constant smack-talk to him. Since she also has incredible abilities which match or even surpass his, he is constantly trying to become better in order to surpass her. While they both loathe each other very much, they also have a care for the other which they hide. 
===== Diane The Coyote =====
Diane The Coyote is Jack's former love interest. The two had been friends ever since they were very young and always had each other's backs. When Jack felt sad, Diane would give him advice and lift his spirits. When Diane was sad, Jack would sing her a song to make her feel better. At first they were just good friends, but when time went on they started to gain romantic feelings for each other. When Jack was much older, Diane was killed by some of Jack's enemies. Even though she is dead, Jack never forgets her. He thinks of her all the time. She is even his one weakness because if someone reminds him of her, he is unable to harm them. Jack had also committed to Diane, so now he swears to never love anyone else. 
===== Wolf =====
The Wing Chun master known only as "Wolf" is one of Jack's greatest enemies. The two originally met when Jack was very young. Jack went to him to learn martial arts because he was bullied and beat up in school. Wolf taught Jack the art of Wing Chun so he could defend himself. Jack originally saw Wolf as a father-figure since his father was always out of town. As time went on however, Wolf began getting frustrated when Jack couldn't pull off a move and would punish him severely when he messed up. He even eventually wanted Jack to start assassinating his enemies for him. Jack refused to do so and left Wolf. Years later, the two met once again and became arch-enemies. 
====== Sonic The Hedgehog ======
Sonic and Jack started off as enemies because Jack was after the flower of Cosmo which Sonic wouldn't let him take. Jack and Sonic later became allies when Jack joined the Resistance, but were still not much of friends. Jack's rude selfish attitude keeps Sonic from becoming his friend, though he wants to. 
===== Dromicus =====
Dromicus originally hired Jack to steal the flower of Cosmo from Sonic. Jack even though not liking Dromicus and calling him crazy accepted. Later, Jack changed to Sonic's side and aided in attack against Dromicus, now making them enemies.
== History ==
=== The Syndromite Saga ===
(From Sonic Syndrome #1-16.) Jack the Coyote was a major character in the Syndromite Saga of Sonic Syndrome. He was originally hired by the Syndromite leader, Dromicus to steal the Flower of Cosmo for a reward. Unknowing what the Syndromites had planned, Jack took the job. Once making it to the outside of the Resistance HQ, he met his rival Violetta the Hedgehog. The two create a truce, since they are both planning to break into the same place. Once breaking in, they battled with Sonic and Knuckles, whom Violetta defeated. Now that the defenses were gone, Jack took the Flower of Cosmo, but received a vision from Earthia, who pleaded Jack not to take her, and offered him a high reward to keep her safe. Jack accepted and joined the Resistance. 
However, Jack and Violetta had problems with being on the same team, since they hated each other. Knuckles, the commander of the Resistance, decided to split the Resistance into two divisions, in order to locate the Resistance in two locations, and to keep Jack and Violetta from fighting. The new divisions were the North Resistance, and the South Resistance. Jack was placed as sub-commander of the South Resistance. Now that he was a sub-commander, Jack forced his team members(Amy, Shadow, Rouge, Omega, Charmy, and Espio) to train brutally in martial arts. By the time that the Resistance's had to fight a group of Syndromites, the South was not ready, so the North had to do most of the work.
