Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog

**Sonic the Hedgehog**, is both a fictional character and protagonist of the *SKB's* *Sonic Pokémon* series created by Yuji Naka and Ken Sugimori. He is an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog, who hails from a faraway place in a region called Kanto.

After being forced to flee to escape those seeking his power, Sonic remained in hiding for 10 years until he accidentally made his presence known in Ryme City, becoming the main target of those such like Howard Clifford and Dr. Eggman.

With the help of Tom Wachowski, however, Sonic managed to banish Eggman off world and establish himself a better life with the Wachowski family.

"*This is my power, and I'm not using it to run away anymore. I'm using it to protect... my... friends!*"

—Sonic, to Dr. Eggman.

## Personality

Sonic is adventurous, lively, fun-loving, and confident. A thrill-seeker who has a passion for enjoying life, he loves running fast and free, which much of his early childhood was spent doing. However, he is also quite reckless and quick to act before thinking. This tends to make him disobey authority at times, which has gotten himself and those around him into trouble more than once, such as when he used his super speed in the open despite being told by Longclaw not to do so, or when he went into the Piston Pit instead of staying in Tom's truck as he was told to.

Sonic usually keeps a laid-back and easygoing demeanor. However, he is still a kid at heart, and is as such very energetic, talkative, and always ready for new exploits. Owning to his lively spirit, Sonic is happy about going on adventures and is always very enthusiastic about trying new things and ready to see new places. Notably, when he thought he was leaving Mobius, this attitude was cranked up to eleven, as he wanted to soak up everything on Earth while he still had the time. Because he is so adventurous however, being constrained can often make him impatient and uneasy, which, at one time made him unable to resist the temptation to visit the Piston Pit.

While no stranger to worry, Sonic is usually fearless and cool under pressure when pushed against the wall, although he can be a bit impatient in serious situations. As such, he is ready to talk back at intimidating thugs and would usually banter with Dr. Robotnik during their violent encounters. This confidence in the face of dangers has given Sonic a mischievous sense of humor; he enjoys toying with his opposition, whether it is by verbally teasing or taunting his foes, or by playing pranks or overwhelming them using his super speed. Sonic also tends to give people nicknames, such as calling Tom "Donut Lord", Maddie "Pretzel Lady", and Robotnik "Eggman", and enjoys making jokes and pretending to be other people.

Possessing a big ego that stems from his positive attitude, Sonic always tries to be positive, even when he does not want to be, and thinks he can get out of nearly any problem with his powers. Despite this state of mind giving him a cocky attitude, a high opinion about himself, and prompting him to crack jokes in even the worst of situations though, Sonic's ego is not to be confused with pride or arrogance, as Sonic does not see himself as more important than others.

In fact, Sonic shows a lot of friendliness towards most living things he comes in contact with; after saving a turtle from becoming roadkill, Sonic took for a ride so it could experience being fast for a change, although he accidentally traumatized it in the process. A similar instance happened when he met Ozzie despite being miffed that Ozzie held the position as Tom's best friend. Sonic similarly puts others before himself, refusing to put others in danger because of himself, and will risk his life to save innocent people, friends, or even animals.

After living in self-imposed exile at Ryme City for ten years, Sonic became extremely lonely and longed to make connections with real friends, with one of the things on his bucket list being to make a real friend. Fortunately, he eventually found a connection in the Wachowski family, and by extension, the inhabitants of Green Hills. Due to his loneliness, Sonic also developed a habit of talking to himself, although he would slowly grow out of it as he began making real friends.

Having spend much of his life on Earth, Sonic has taken a great interest in Earth's culture, and has picked up many interests and hobbies, such as baseball, playing guitar, watching action movies, keeping taps on celebrities, and reading comic books. However, Sonic's hobbies, combined with his lack of experience dealing with humans, gives him a slightly unrealistic view of the world and causes him to occasionally act irrationally, such as mimicking the characters in *Speed* by starting a fight with the people in the Piston Pit.

Sonic is highly protective of his powers. After losing Longclaw because others sought his powers, a traumatized Sonic was willing to spend years running away and living in hiding, much to his own frustration and sadness, so that no one would discover him and try to steal his powers. During the climax of his first battle against Eggman however, upon realizing that he had people on Earth who cared about him, he resolved to use them to protect his friends.

## Powers and abilities

Sonic possesses the power to move around at supersonic speed. Due to such speed, he can move fast enough to create blurry afterimages that appear in several places at once to the human eye, run along walls, and even generate tornadoes by running around in circles. He can even reach such speeds that his entire surroundings either freeze or slow down considerably from his perspective; even bullets appear to come to a near stand-still to him. As a side-effect of this ability, Sonic also has a super-fast pulse rate, even while unconscious.

Sonic is even capable of thinking and processing information at super speed, being capable of reading through a meter-high stack of comics in about a second. Sonic boasts high durability as an extraterrestrial, having survived a near point-blank explosion caused by one of Robotnik's Badniks without any notable injuries.

Sonic's core offensive maneuver is a technique where he curls into a concussive ball and directs himself at his targets. With it, Sonic can launch a "spin attack" that can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed and hit with enough force to blow apart a section of one of Dr. Robotnik's Badnik tanks. Adept in its usage, Sonic can utilize it for both grounded and aerial maneuvers or just soft landings.

Another aspect of Sonic's power is his ability to generate bio-electromagnetic energy. This power is linked to his emotional state. If he feels extreme emotions, Sonic will start generating blue energy that causes his quills and eyes to glow blue and his body to unleash surges of energy akin to lightning bolts. These energies are so vast that, should Sonic release this energy, he can unleash an electromagnetic pulse that can cover areas as large as the entire Pacific Northwest.

Conversely, should Sonic harness these energies for himself, they seem to bolster his already impressive speed and empower his spin attack, providing the latter with enough power to hit the Eggpod hard enough to send it flying in the opposite direction while it was pushing against him from the opposite direction. If Sonic's quills are separated from him, they will retain some of the energy he creates and react to Sonic's emotional state from a distance; the energy output from these quills is astronomical, with even one of them possessing unlimited power.

Sonic can also drain this power from his separated quills by literally pulling the energy out of them, although they will eventually regain their power. Initially, Sonic had no control of the energies he could generate, being capable of only summoning them during moments of extreme stress and anger. During his clash with Dr. Robotnik in Green Hills however, Sonic gained complete control over his energy-based power, allowing him to properly harness it.

### Weaknesses

While Sonic's super speed is his greatest asset, it can also be his greatest weakness in certain situations; if he cannot get good traction when trying to come to a stop, he can risk tumbling out of control. He also had little to no control over his bio-electromagnetic powers to begin with, which would result in him creating unintended energy surges at inopportune times. However, he has since overcome this weakness after gaining control over this ability.

Sonic is also very cocky at times, and often makes situations worse, like when he started a bar fight when attempting to knock out the Roadhouse Thug with a bottle by mimicking an action movie.
