**Biography:**

Sonic CAN'T lives inside a Sonic the Hedgehog 1 game. He is an anomaly in the universe, 1 out of 1,000,000,000, because of how rings affect him compared to every other Sonic. SC is not affected by rings. Despite the rings saving him from death, he is not saved from injury. He can fall onto a spike, and it will go through him, but the rings simply keep him from dying, not from getting hurt.

Sonic was going on his adventure as usual, when he jumped up and got hit by a blast from a Badnik. He saw a scorch mark on his quills, right in the middle of his forehead, which was his first warning sign of this unfortunate situation he was in. However, due to the outside force of the Player, he continues to adventure.

Throughout his story, he is wounded quite mortally at multiple points, but cannot die due to the Player having rings, as well as spare lives. His arm gets cut off by a buzzsaw in the Scrap Brain Zone, his leg seared off by lava. He barely ever stopped, only stopping at the Scrap Brain Zone right before Act 3, when his leg came off and he was no longer able to even run.

He was also crushed by several pistons inside of the Marble Zone, but respawned with all the injuries he previously had. Eventually, when he reached Act 2 of the Scrap Brain Zone, he purposefully dropped all of his rings and let himself get injured so that he could restart his entire adventure.

However, the Player had an extra three lives won during the Special Stages, and that brought SC to the infamous "Continue?" screen. He tried begging the Player to stop, saying, "I can't continue, just go back to menu, please restart and set things right..."

It didn't matter though. The Player used those extra lives and restarted the Scrap Brain Zone, leaving Sonic CAN'T with all his injuries still in tow. SC decided he was done, and gave up, jumping off-screen, much like Sonic does in Sonic CD.

Sonic gave up, and since he was inside Sonic 1, there was no one else to save Mobius except for him. Eggman took over, and SC was left to think what could've been if he had fought through his brutal maiming and kept onward.

The Player thought his copy of Sonic 1 was hacked or broken, so he stopped playing it. Sonic CAN'T's world was never fixed, and SC's injuries are still there to this day.

**Trivia:**

* Sonic CAN'T was made on Valentine's Day. Despite that, he is aroace. He also goes by he/him pronouns.
* Since SC failed in his quest, he believes himself to be a total failure, and doesn't understand why anybody would want to give him any positive attention. He also does not comprehend the fact that he simply got very unlucky; he thinks that every other Sonic out there gets mortally wounded and can still complete their quests.
* Sonic CAN'T is canontically 15.
* SC was visited by Facsimile, but refused his help, thinking that he deserved to suffer for being a quitter.
* SC is aware of the fact that he is in a video game, despite the fact that most Sonics are completely oblivious to that fact.
* Sonic CAN'T would've been best friends with V1CT1M! Miles.
* Sonic CANT's favorite food are chili dogs.
* SC's favorite song is the Green Hill Zone theme, as it reminds him of when he had hope and wasn't terribly injured.
* In the Despondent Universe, Sonic jumping off the screen in Sonic CD, after the player stays idle for over three minutes, was inspired by footage caught of SC jumping offscreen, when the Player was trying to videotape about how strange his copy of Sonic 1 was.

**Abilites:**

* Can still jump and curl into a ball.
* Good at hiding.

**Weaknesses:**

* His missing limbs, scars, various wounds, and blinded left eye make it incredibly difficult for him to fight or have much coordination.
* His self-esteem.
* Being insulted and critized.
* Eggman's Empire.
* Being reminded of his past, and the ways he messed up.
* Being reminded of how he's a failure and/or quitter.
