Rio the Cyborg Hedgehog

This is an article about Rio the Cyborg Hedgehog, a character created by Mac the Writer on 05/01/2010.
Ryan "Rio" Smith (also known as Rio the Cyborg Hedgehog, and formely Rio the Hedgehog) is a Sonic the Hedgehog fan character created by Mac the Writer in 2010. Perhaps his very first fan character with a major role, Rio was originally considered to be a character for the story Mobius Crisis (now known as Sonic Platinum: Gods and Demons) who would try to kill Tails because he was misguided to think that he was the one who killed his loved one Mia the Hedgehog. However, a lot has changed since then. Now, Rio doesn't have a loved one, he has no connections with any official characters, and he is now a simple-minded agent of G.U.N. instead of a heroic srs bsns character. He is set to appear in the story Codename: Avalanche.
For a few months, he was originally considered to be Mac's mascot character, but was replaced by Grey Shujaa (who was later replaced by Virtua) to give himself a more original identity. Despite not making fan characters as much as he once did, he still has some likes towards Rio, mostly because he is the first fan character that he worked on the most.
==Appearance==
Originally, he was an everyday grey hedgehog. It wasn't until an accident happened that caused him to lose most of his limbs and body parts. Most of his body was later roboticized, leaving him to have a steam engine, a radar-like eye, robotic arms and legs, and a jet tail.
==Personality==
In the Zodiac, the personality that best fits him is Aries. He's very adventurous and daring. He's fast-thinking, but tends to act first before thinking. He's a bit of a show-off, but only when facing his opponents. He is very short-tempered and can easily get mad if someone pushes the wrong button (pun totally intended. :P).
==History==
When he was 18, he was first assigned as part of a simple police officer for Station Square. However, when he was 19, a terrorist attack by Shadowmen happened in a Shopping Mall. He was assigned to protect the people, but when he acted against the order and went in to stop the Shadowmen, he was stricken by a sudden explosion, losing all of his limbs and half of his face.
He was "rebuilt" by scientist and doctor Dr. Pudwell, and was given robotic limbs, a steam engine, a radar eye, and a jet tail. When he went back to the police department he worked with, the officers were impressed of his new-found powers thanks to his robotic parts, which even he was astounded by it. He was thus assigned by his boss to join G.U.N. to work for them and stop threats the department can't stop on their own.
==Powers==
Thanks to his roboticized parts, he can fly, go at a decent speed, and break solid objects. He also has built-in cannons on each arms, mostly used for self-defense.
==Skills==
Thanks to his roboticized parts, his dancing skills has gotten better, and so did his martial art skills.
