Sage

## Bio

**Sage** is a character that appears in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series. She is an artificial intelligence created by the Sonic Unlimited Dr. Eggman, which was sent to this universe’s Eggman using unknown tech. They were used in an attempt to not only defeat Sonic but to claim the Eggman Empire.

## Appearance

Sage resembles a young human girl. She possesses a slim body and limbs with white skin and a large, round head with a tall forehead. Notably, she possesses glowing red eyes and a red energy structure on the left side of her face. She also has short white hair with a swirl in it on her forehead and a single red energy highlight inside said swirl. The rest of her body however, especially her arms and legs, are completely black and have outlines of red computer code around them. For attire, she wears a black cloak and shoes that are covered with red computer code outlining the insides and the majority of its right side. However, when Sage becomes sympathetic or emotional, her design inverts to a white cloak with blue wireframing and eyes.

## History

### Past

Dr. Eggman, who was previously upset with the failures of many of his previous creations, had created an advanced AI with the sole purpose of hacking into the data on the Starfall Islands, and protecting him from any potential threats he may face. He had given this AI the name "Sage".

Upon arrival at the Starfall Islands, Dr. Eggman uploaded Sage into Cyber Space through a portal. Sage swiftly learned a great deal of information and assumed a certain amount of control of the islands' robots. Dr. Eggman was later absorbed by Sage into the digital database, unable to escape.

Sometime after Dr. Eggman's invasion of the Starfall Islands, Knuckles the Echidna found an old portal in the ruins of Sky Sanctuary and accidentally arrived at the islands. Knuckles fought and defeated the guardians that attacked him, until Sage herself intervened by summoning an Asura. After the Asura defeated Knuckles, he found himself inside a metallic prison on Ares Island.

Doctor Eggman, while bummed Sage stuck him in Cyber Space, was comfortably confident in his brilliance behind her coding and could only grumble. Though progress was slow, Sage continued to relay information about Sonic's actions and his battles to the doctor in a way Eggman's creations never had before. Her control over Cyber Space and the efficiency behind her actions couldn't help but amuse Eggman. As Sage finished her latest report, Eggman bellowed in laughter and informed her of his plans once this whole little event was over. Sage was a bit taken by surprised but then Eggman mentioned Orbot and Cubot, evoking her interest. She rethought her existing relationships and asked, "*Would [they] be [her] brothers?*", to which Eggman supposed so. Her face began to glow at the thought of meeting them.

On the islands themselves, Sage confronted Sonic the Hedgehog multiple times, claiming that his actions were both futile and dangerous, but refusing to elaborate when Sonic would inquire about her or her knowledge. While initially cold and combative towards him, seeing Sonic's varied interactions with Amy, Knuckles, and Tails would teach Sage much about interpersonal relationships, causing her to cry upon realizing that the hedgehog had fostered a family born of love and not genetics, something she had desired with her own "father." Additionally, Sonic's courage in the face of the Titans and his own corruption consuming him on Rhea Island as a result of The End's machinations endeared him towards her, as she finally grew to understand the blue blur's heroic heart.

Upon the completion of Sonic's corruption, Eggman, Amy, Knuckles, and Tails are freed from Cyber Space, seemingly at the cost of Sonic's soul. Sage warns Eggman to return to Cyber Space, and claims that even the Egg Fleet would not be enough to defeat The End, and that there was no probable scenario of survival. However, Sonic's friends sacrificed their freedom to return him to normal, causing Sage to excitedly posit the possibility of herself and Eggman working together with Sonic, a scenario which Eggman forbade her from simulating. Eggman, faced with no choice, begrudgingly and temporarily inducted Sonic into the Eggman Empire to form an alliance in which Sonic and Sage would split off from Eggman and work together to navigate Ouranos Island and gather the Chaos Emeralds.

Upon gathering the Emeralds, Sonic became Super Sonic and subdued the most powerful titan, Supreme. As it was defeated, Sage noted that The End was fleeing into space to regain its true form and insisted that she and Sonic pursue it. Eggman acquiesced to this, but with knowledge of the danger, warned his "dear daughter" to be careful as she possesed the body of Supreme and with Super Sonic, fought against the deific being.

After enduring its onslaught of attacks, Super Sonic flew through the moon-like being, dealing a critical blow. However, it began to charge a final, powerful blast of its destructive laser. Sage, seeing this, quickly acted, and destroyed The End at the cost of her existence, using her final words to ask Sonic to look after her father.

Eggman himself, upon realizing that Sage would not return to earth, dropped to his knee in grief, before reaching a handout to the falling debris and clenching his fist.

## Personality

Sage is initially cold and calculating, making decisions solely considering projections and logical analysis. She expresses caution when attempting to preserve Doctor Eggman's safety by keeping him in Cyber Space, and while unempathetic, warns Sonic the Hedgehog to leave the Starfall Islands to escape the impending threat. As her bond with Dr. Eggman grows, however, she becomes more caring, experiencing familial love, and even telling jokes. By observing the way Sonic behaves with his friends, Sage develops her own desires beyond her programming, and becomes substantially more cooperative and concerned for the safety of others.

## Powers & Abilities

Utilizing abilities while uploaded in Cyber Space, Sage can act as an observer over the planet she made for Eggman.

Sage is incredibly intelligent. Her processing power can calculate all known factors under 1,700,050 simulations. What Sage does know; all of Dr. Eggman's historical knowledge since he started his campaign to Frontiers, which previously had her share sour opinions of Sonic the Hedgehog with her creator, and the Ancients' data, consisting of their very essence. This would include all knowledge the Ancients had on The End.

As a being made out of data and thus having no matter, Sage's form is incorporeal. This form of existence, along with Cyber Space, has benefited her movements to consist of levitating in midair, phasing through walls, and casually teleporting in the area. While she is mostly shown levitating and teleporting, she isn't incapable of basic flight as she flew away from the Egg Mobile to possess Supreme.

Sage can also manipulate the machines on the Starfall Islands. In addition, she has the ability to project a laser beam out of her hands after gathering energy, along with having a degree of control while in Cyber Space.

## Relationships

### Dr. Eggman

When Dr. Eggman had first created Sage, Eggman had seen Sage as nothing more than another pawn for his plans. Even then, Eggman appeared to have a lot of faith in his creation, believing that it would reign supreme all of his other creations, all of which proved to be complete failures. Sage's various exchanges with Eggman, as well as protecting him from the threats found in Cyber Space would begin the creation of a father-daughter-like bond between the two of them.

### Sonic the Hedgehog

Despite Sonic the Hedgehog's heroic actions and personality, Sage views him as a threat not just to Eggman, but the world as a whole. As such, she repeatedly threatens him to leave the world through means of violence despite him simply wanting to rescue his friends. She eventually warms up to him, especially after witnessing the lengths he will go to save his friends. She also had some degree of respect for his abilities even before then, as she suggested to Eggman that forming an alliance with Sonic may be Eggman's best option for capturing him in Cyber Space due to them solving past crises together.
