Vector the Crocodile (BearfootTruck's Universe)

Vector the Crocodile is the leader and founder of the Chaotix Detective Agency. He makes recurring appearances in BearfootTruck's stories. Regardless, he is still doing his best to make a buck.
==Backstory==
===ASMW===
Vector was born in Hancock City – the capital of the Federal Republic of Columbia – to Hector the Crocodile and Nile the Crocodile. From an early age, Vector took an interest in water, whether it was lakes, rivers, oceans, etc… He was unhappy being constrained in an urban environment, where there were few opportunities for him to go swimming around. Undeterred, young Vector made some opportunities for himself, swimming in such unlikely places as the Devil's Gate River and the Amsterdam River. Unfortunately, he often became sick from doing this and even had to be hospitalized on a few occasions. Still, despite his parents’ disapproval, Vector was hardly fazed.
Then, one day, Vector challenged himself to swim as far as he could. Saying goodbye to his parents, he kept swimming…and swimming…and swimming. Finally, after swimming for so long, he ended up in Mobius. Eventually, he met up with Charmy Bee, Espio the Chameleon, Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel. Together, they struck up a unique friendship. Eventually, they would all go to a newly-opened theme park (except for Ray). Unfortunately, it was one of Dr. Robotnik's traps, and Vector was captured along with the three others who had gone along with him. Fortunately, Knuckles came to the rescue. Much later, Vector and his other friends founded the Chaotix Detective Agency.

Finally, after swimming for so long, he ended up going around the world to San Santos. While exploring the wilderness to the east of the city, he encountered
Charmy Bee and Espio the Chameleon. By this time, Vector had gained a significant interest in solving the mysteries of the world, and sympathizing with Espio's quest to avenge his fallen master, he founded the Chaotix Detective Agency.
===Sonic War Zone===
Vector was born in Emerald City to Hector the Crocodile and Nile the Crocodile. From an early age, he proved to be a bright, outgoing and somewhat rebellious child. In school, he didn't get the best grades, but he always managed to pass, and he made a good amount of friends along the way. In the background, however, Mobius was fighting a Great War against the Roseinian Empire. Upon graduating high school, Vector knew he was gonna be drafted, so he ended up enlisting in the Mobian Marine Corps to appease the Recruitment Board. Though he passed boot camp, he wasn't one to be tied down to conventional military command structures, so as soon as he could, he ended up deserting. After a long while of conducting guerrilla warfare against the Roseinian Armed Forces, he met with Charmy Bee and Espio the Chameleon, forming the Chaotix as a mercenary group dedicated to taking on the Roseinians on their own terms.
==Personality==
Vector is a gruff and tough kind of guy, which can make him appear to be rude. However, deep down, he's got a good heart and has even been known to take on cases for free. For example, he will help little children find their lost toys for free. Though Vector is interested in money, he won't do anything illegal for cash. His excellent leadership skills have kept the Chaotix in business, too. Despite his leadership skills, though, he’s not exactly the most straightforward thinker, but he’s far from a complete dummy.
==Appearance==
Vector's appearance is exactly the same as his canon counterpart.
==Abilities==
Despite his immense bulk and slow running speed, Vector is still capable of doing the Spin Jump and Spin Dash moves that other Sonic characters are capable of. He also has immense physical strength, which allows him to perform a variety of special attacks, including the Power Boost, where he charges shoulder-first at an enemy, much like Wario. Also, like Wario, he can also do a ground pound attack, called the Jump Attack. Like a real crocodile, Vector's jaws are immensely strong, in fact, strong enough to crush hardened steel. And like any good crocodile, he's an excellent swimmer. Vector is also a gifted musician, especially on keyboards.
==Items & Weapons==
Vector doesn't need any weapons given his size and strength. His main item is a pair of headphones that he wears all the time. However, he does have an M60 machine gun in Sonic War Zone
==Fanfictions==
===ASMW===
====And Down Will Come Sonic – Cradle and All====
When Espio takes notice of increased troop movements in Eggopolis, Vector calls Sally and tells her about it. He also notifies her when Espio locates “Robotnik's megaweapon. In both cases, Charmy attempts to interrupt by singing songs over the radio mike, much to Vector’s annoyance.
===Other stories===
====Sonic's Weird Birthday====
Vector – along with Charmy and Espio – worked on a 1970 Chevy Camaro Z/28 for Sonic's birthday. He is a bit insulted when the Blue Blur questions the awesomeness of the gift before even seeing it. Nevertheless, Vector is excited to tell Sonic all of the unique features of the car. When Ol' Blue questions his need for a car, Vector cites the All-Star Races as a time when he used a car. Sonic decides to take it for a spin, and Vector hands him the keys after calling shotgun. Unlike Charmy and Espio, Vector is terrified by Sonic's driving and is hugely relieved once the car comes to a stop, vowing not only to get Big Blue a sweater for his next birthday, but also never to get in a car with him again. When Espio knocks out the UCP agents with a blowgun, Vector is horrified, thinking that the two were killed. 
====A Dark Birthday====
Vector offers his condolences to Sonic before showing him the cars that he got for Shadow and Rouge's birthday. He rejects Sonic's idea to get them faster cars, citing the Blue Blur's shenanigans with the Camaro.
====Wir sind Menschen====
Like the rest of the Chaotix, Vector is not only attending the concert as part of Sonic and the Diesel Cats, but he is also happy to meet Hope and brags about his headphones. He too is confused when the Emerald City Palladium rumbles after the bomb underneath the stage goes off. When Shadow hugs Sonic, he is confused, but otherwise doesn't do anything.
====Stunt Rock====
Much like Wir Sind Menschen, Vector is the keyboardist for Sonic and the Diesel Cats, first seen playing a show at a local bar & grill in San Santos. Next, he plays a show at a local high school, meeting Silver and Blaze in the process, even curious as to how Silver met Sonic. Two days later, he plays the Monsters of Rock festival, where a local music promoter offers him and the rest of the band a chance to play at the Maplewood Bowl, much to his surprise. The next day, Sonic invites him to a barbecue at Rouge's mansion, where he thanks Rouge for knowing how he likes his hot dogs and tries to dissuade Charmy from drumming on the picnic table. He also wows everyone except Shadow during the show in the mansion's drawing room. The day after, he plays the show at the Maplewood Bowl and asks Rouge where Shadow went, but otherwise makes nothing of it. Two days later, he plays a show at the Imblewood Forum and gets another surprise as an A&R executive from a big record label wants to sign the band to a record deal.
====Terror At the Olympic Games====
On the first day of the Summer Olympics in Emerald City, Vector is serving as the goalie on the Mobian team during the men's soccer game against the Roseinian Empire. Five days later, he congratulates Espio during his performance in men's sabre fencing and wonders how he did so well. Almost a week later, Vector is held hostage by terrorists in the Olympic Village. He asks the terrorists if they're going to shoot all of the hostages. Later, after boarding the plane at Acorn International Airport, Vector not only cheers when the Royal Mobian Constabulary comes to their rescue, but also when Shadow guns down four terrorists.
====Motorhead====
Vector is the owner of Chaotix Auto Salvage in Ruby City. Initially, he is suspicious when Sonic, Tails and Ruby enter the junkyard, but he gladly explains a few things about the “Dubstep Driver”, a former employee named Scourge the Hedgehog. When Sonic, Tails and Ruby leave, he jokingly tells them to loosen up.
====The Purple Phantom's Grocery Run====
Realizing that they are all out of certain foods, Vector sends Espio and Charmy on a grocery run. However, Espio accidentally forgets Vector's Gatorade.
