Monotails is a character created by the user KaijuReaper. He was created sometime around December 2021.
== Overview ==
MonoTails is an older variation of Tails that was hunted and killed by ERASURE, an exe that spawned into his world. He was meant to become an empty husk for others to take over, but an error had occurred and gave Tails the chance he needed to escape.
MonoTails now rebels against the other exes, making further development to produce the equipment needed to fight back in hopes of ending this nightmare.
== Biography ==
The events that would unfold have already occurred across multiple timelines. The horrific cycle goes on endlessly. In this case however, a single error sparked a sudden shift in the story.
Memories of his own death flashed by as Tails found himself in darkness. His body was left paralyzed, and he could feel himself slowly be hollowed out. Soon he'd be nothing but an empty husk. That is until an error occurred and interrupted the process.
He'd take advantage of this error and used the little time he had left to devise a plan to escape this wretched zone.
Unfortunately for him, ERASURE would learn that his victim had awakened and would appear to confront him. But the fox would not bow down.
The corrupted fox and hedgehog's distorted doppelganger would engage in combat and battle in the fake zone, causing distortions to appear through reality. Though overpowered, Tails would fool the entity and escape from ERASURE’s realm.
ERASURE was left with seething rage, pissed that such a lowly creature would dare defy him. But his escape would not hinder his work. Besides, soon enough there would be nothing left of this world. And no hero can do anything to stop it.
Meanwhile with Tails, after finding an unlikely ally and reuniting with his love, he’d use the crystals on his body and the corrupted rings he's collected to do research and learn how to use their essence to better stabilize himself, eventually using what he learned to create a new arm for himself with a few extra functions to help him in his venture.
He wasn't finished though as it was only the first step. After experiencing the doppelganger's cruelty firsthand and seeing the environmental degradation brought by his takeover, he could not stand idly by. And as his and ERASURE's world began the process of merging, MonoTails would declare war against the so-called “ god”  and face him once more.
After the events of what's now known as Round 1 MonoTails would remain corrupted while ERASURE, though defeated, escaped his own death and continues to remain out there. Although Tails has made progress with his research, he is still unsure if there is any hope for a cure. But with his newfound knowledge he began to create the equipment necessary to better fight back against these entities.
His main goal now, is to save the others who have fallen to ERASURE's corruption and destroy the Hedgehog doppelganger.
"He is no God. He's nothing but a false idol."
== Abilities/Weakness ==
=== Abilities ===
* Twin Tails: His two most notable features come in handy rather often, capable of using his twin tails to speed up and take flight. Being a fast flyer, he’s got enough speed to match other speedsters. Though surprisingly enough they are rather useful in combat as well, being strong enough to slice through metal when faced against badniks.
* Spin Attack: A classic move where he curls into a ball and attacks his target like a cutting disc. Though he can take it a step further by growing out sharp crystals to provide extra damage to his target/foe.
* Disruption: MonoTails is capable of countering against and/or disrupting other exe abilities, going as far as to save himself from being corrupted and/or taken over. Though the results vary depending on the individual he uses it on as it may not always be as effective.
* MonoEye: An interesting feature he has is that he's able to morph his eyes into one with an X crossing it off. When on, it comes with two special abilities.
** Stun: Creates an effect that stuns his targets, lasting between 7 to 10 seconds.
** Vision: His MonoEye can allow him to better track and see through exe disguises. Although this effect only lasts 5 seconds and can’t be used constantly.
* Wrist Rings: The rings he wears are actually synthetic as he made them himself, though they're not just for style. He created them to be able to convert the rings he collects into pure ring energy and store them up. When active, these rings will provide extra protection against physical attacks and can restore his stamina.
* Disguise: Similar to a few other exes, MonoTails is able to change his own appearance to take on his previous form. He mainly uses this to hide his true form from the others and avoid scaring them off or making a fuss. Unfortunately, he's only able to keep this form for one hour max. Though can use it again once enough time has passed.
* Jaws: He is not afraid of using his own jaws in combat. He has found that his new jaws carry a strong bite force, enough to tear through flesh, bone, and even metal. So he'll put them to use when faced against an opponent.
* XENO_rals: The crystals seen on Tails’ body have been shown to carry unknown properties that boost some of his other abilities. Aside from that though he is capable of manipulating these crystals as well. Being able to extend them and take on nearly any shape he sees fit. On occasion he'll use these crystals to form into weapons or tools when necessary. Though he'll usually use them as claws.
* Prosthetic Arm: Aside from replacing his missing arm, this prosthetic was built with multiple functions as listed below:
** XENO_ral Claws: Tails would create retractable claws using the crystals from his own body. As stated above, he is able to manipulate them to take on various shapes.
** Energy Cannon: Similar to his move in Sonic Battle, his arm can transform into an arm cannon and fire away at targets. His cannon thpugg was built to be extra effective against most types of exes by using rings he's collected from corrupted zones, as well as his own essence.
** Drill Arm: Once his hand is locked in, using his XENO_ral claws he's able to form them into a drill to pierce into targets.
** Control: His arm was also made with the intention of better controlling his abilities without taking up so much energy. Allowing him to better use his feats, such as accessing his own zone.
* Zone: After his escape Tails would learn how to access his own zone. When in said zone, his abilities are enhanced and is able to heal himself and other allies up, slowly.
* Gadgets: Using what he knows he's created a variety of gadgets to carry and use. Gadgets vary but typically serve to:
** Stun targets
** Create holograms
** Scan for anomalies
** Act as small explosives
** Release an EMP wave
** Create protective shields
RECOVERY: One of MonoTails’ most important abilities. When RECOVERY is used on a corrupted victim it helps restore the victim’s soul to free them from their corruption. It isn’t a one-hit skill though as Tails needs to focus and use this ability multiple times in order to save them. Unfortunately, this skill only helps the victim take back control, it does not revert the effect placed on their body.
=== Weaknesses ===
* Although he's able to counter and disrupt exe corruptions, that does not mean he is immune to it. If he were to be caught off guard he may be corrupted and taken over once more.
* In order to use his special abilities it requires energy and focus. If Tails were to be completely spent, his abilities would be to little use.
* When his rings are active, the more damage he takes the more ring energy he uses up. When he's run out the effect will dissipate until he gathers enough rings to fuel them back up.
* If his prosthetic arm were to be severely damaged it would make it harder for him to use some of his abilities due to the amount of energy needed.
* While he can heal in his zone, the healing effect is slow and typically heals light damage such as cuts, bruises, light burns, and such. If Tails were to take more extreme damage, such as having his heart ripped out, he would not survive. Not to mention that it can only heal up to six individuals max.
* He carries a limited amount of equipment so once he's run out of gadgets to use, he's out.
* RECOVERY needs to be used on the target as soon as possible, otherwise if the corruption spreads too much in it's host, it may be too late. Even then it needs to be used constantly to break the victim free, so it can be time consuming depending on how far the corruption had gone.
== Trivia ==
* MonoTails' world takes place 10 years into the future, making him much older than his video game counterpart at the age of 18.
* Although he was created in 2021, the idea behind his character and story has been around for much longer since around 2013-2014, originally centered around other creepypastas with him as the main protagonist. However, the original story changed so much that an overhaul occurred and it became it’s own original story, now under Biøshard. It wasn’t until 2020 that the og story was picked back up for a reboot and a year later on Christmas of 2021 where the design was made along with a new story inspired by the original concept.
* The day his design was made, the idea was partly resparked thanks to NominalDingus' cover song "Too Late".
* Parts of his design are small nods to other works. His scarf for instance was inspired by Skyline Sonic’s design from Drawloverlala, while his right eye was based on Secret History’s Tails.
* Details seen on MonoTails’ appearance; such as his teeth, dark fur patterns, and eye slits; were inspired by real life foxes. Meant to be a bit closer to his real life animal counterpart.
* Usually when another entity attempts to take over his body, arms will burst from his eyes and mouth, grasping at whatever's in their reach as the process commences. Although he is shown to be physically fine after taking back control, he often shows discomfort about it.
* When ERASURE began converting Tails, his mouth was messed up and got sealed shut in the process. Despite this he can go around the issue by ripping his jaws open. Thankfully it doesn't seem to hurt him, though strangely enough he can still speak clearly even with sealed lips.
* On rare occasions when faced against another entity he'll sometimes develop predatory instincts to kill and feast. These incidents don't last too long as they're more like short bursts, though it has worried him enough to focus on trying to prevent these instincts from ever resurfacing.
* Strangely enough, the XENO_rals seen on Tails' body have been shown to carry his own DNA.
* Canonically speaking, MonoTails is currently in a relationship with the singer/fighter Mina Mongoose. The two started their relationship several months before the events of Round 1 and even now they continue to remain together despite his current state. The two swearing to face this new threat together as one.
* His scarf was handmade and designed by the combined effort of both Sonic and Mina, the two joining forces to make it for his birthday. Since then Tails has rarely been seen without it, seeing it as a reminder of the people he holds dear.
* He often takes advantage of his new pair of jaws to stuff as many mints as possible in his free time. While it’s bliss for him, Sonic’s grown increasingly bothered with his habit. An intervention did occur somewhere along the line with Sonic, Eggman, Shadow, Mina, and Doll confronting him about it. Unfortunately, Tails just ate a comical amount of mints during said intervention so he’s now under watch.
* The world MonoTails comes from does not follow any of the already established storylines (such as the Main Series, Boom, Archie, etc) but instead serves as it’s own world/continuity. Part of why his design varies from his video game counterpart.
* While MonoTails prefers to stay in his world, working to further help build up defenses against ERASURE and other threats, he has made progress on dimensional travel in hopes to warn others of the imminent threat and/or destroy other entities that he may cross paths with. Though he’ll typically be accompanied by at least two friends/allies for backup.
* Following the previous piece of trivia, Tails will often share his research and equipment to trusted individuals when hopping through universes to better prepare them against other exes. He and the rest of the Fighters aim to establish connections throughout the multiverse to both gather more intel and provide aid against similar threats.
* Despite his conflict with entities such as ERASURE, MonoTails has made bonds with friendlier beings he’s come across. For instance he’s allied himself with a variation of Majin Sonic, who often seeks to have fun with him. Tails has also even befriended his world’s variation of Tails Doll, who now bunks with him and Sonic. He hopes to find kinder exes and become allied with them in the fight against ERASURE and other malicious entities.
