Hog is an "EXE" created by Jack Gore; he is a Tenrec who is actually an alternate Sonic who was created when a Sonic 3 cartridge was placed into a Giga Switch N' Play, creating a whole new reality within that specific ROM. Adversely, when the cartridge was plugged in, the original Sonic was sent to a void, being the only survivor of the erasure of his universe, he now seeks revenge on the universe that took over his own, using Hog as a puppet. In Ruined World, Hog was initially sent in as a spy for the Cult of X, joining the villains, with Hog seeing them as the heroes. Eventually the original plan for his character was remade to be a permanent member of the Masters of Chaos.

## General Information

### Physical Appearance

Hog is a blue, anthropomorphic tenrec who bares a striking resemblance to the original Sonic. He possesses short, dark blue quills, and pale, pink-coral colored tufts of fur on his chest and muzzle. While not shown often, his mouth houses two pairs of sharp teeth. His eyes are connected, with white sclera and black pupils, with back outliner. For clothing, he simply possesses a pair of white gloves and black shoes.

Scorched, however, has seen better days since his world was erased. He has become noticeably taller, with his colors becoming darker and grittier, his arms and legs have been corrupted by a black material, removing his arms and gloves in exchange for grotesque claws and other features. On his head, his lower jaw has lost skin, exposing flesh, and the last notable feature is that his pupils have dilated, becoming much larger than before, giving the appearance as if he had no eyes.

### Personality

Hog himself is a heroic tenrec who appears to have a skewed sense of right and wrong, seeing villains as allies and fellow heroes who fight the bad guys, who are actually the heroes, likely due to being a bootleg Sonic with a sense of naivete. He is very outgoing, sociable and friendly toward his allies, helping those he feels are in trouble on his side. On the contrary, Scorched, after being isolated in the void once Hog's world took over his, has become unstable and violent, whenever unleashed he craves only destruction, despite this, he still appears to be loyal to the villains, despite being a former hero.

## Roleplay Information

### Season 9

Hog first arrived in the New World's Darklands, specifically first appeared as a silhouette of Scorched in the darkness, until he fully revealed himself by stepping into the light and introduced himself to the villains, immediately seeing them as the "heroes." Once he joined their side, he primarily stayed in the Castle of Dread, vibing by dancing, that was until the fight at the castle, where Hog's skills against the so-called "villains" in his eyes would be tested. While he was able to put up a minor fight against some of the people, he unfortunately was overpowered by Krabs, but not for long, as soon, he began to convulse and transform into Scorched, turning the tide of the battle by becoming an unstoppable behemoth of a beast, once the fight ended, Hog returned to normal. Hog's next, but final pivotal role in the season would be the fight against EXE, who had been lurking and plotting to kill Hog for replacing him. Even as Scorched, he struggled against the godly entity that was EXE, with EXE eventually winning, crushing the weakened tenrec in his grasp, killing him. However, his death would be short-lived, as per orders of Sonic.exe, EXE conjured up Hog's soul, reviving him to relay the information gathered about the newly formed Masters of Chaos.

### Worlds Collide

Hog would reappear, alongside EXE during Worlds Collide's second act, arriving at the Oriental Isle during the fight against the possessed Shigaraki, prior to Phagenaut's death, with the Masters of Chaos essentially trading an OG member for another OG member. Hog would mostly take a backseat role in this season, in favor of developing EXE more, however, this does not mean that Hog had nothing to do, as he would become friends with Misery, mostly on Hog's side though. Hog would eventually be fought by the heroes during Cyber World, assisting in the fight against the Blue District prisoners, primarily fighting Sonic as both Hog and Scorched. Hog is planned to make an appearance in the fifth final battle of the season, working alongside his trusted allies in the fiery Flower Sanctuary.

## Abilities & Weaknesses

### Abilities

* **Super Speed -** Both Hog and Scorched possess super speed, the signature ability of any Sonic impersonator.
* **Sonic Powers -** Hog has access to Sonic's robust move-set, such as spin dashing and homing attacks.
* **Super Strength -** Scorched, being a massive entity, with large masses for hands, it only makes sense for him to pack a punch.
* **Teleportation -** Both Hog and Scorched appear to have the ability to teleport, Scorched seems to have more of a mastery of this power than Hog.
* **Shapeshifting -** Outside of being able to switch between each other, Scorched appears to have the ability to glitchily change parts of him to appear as other EXEs, such as RE-RUN and Fatal Error.

### Weaknesses

* **Glitches -** While rare, Hog may occasionally glitch out due to Scorched's existence being unstable.
* **Naivete -** Hog, being childlike, is very gullible, there's a reason why he believes the villains are the good guys to him.
* **Light -** Scorched's eyes are sensitive to light, if one were to shine a light into his eyes, he will become temporarily blinded.
* **Scorched -** Scorched HATES Hog, if given the perfect opportunity, Scorched would take any chance to continue his plots to take his place back.

## Trivia

* One of Hog's most famous out-of-character jokes is replacing the word "Poggers" with "Hoggers" due to "Pog" being similar to "Hog"
* Initially, Hog and Scorched's relationship was written incorrectly, with Scorched acting as a more powerful form, like EXE's true form. This would eventually be partially corrected in Worlds Collide.
* When planning for Hog's place as part of season nine's cast using a "Zombie Survival Team" template, Hog's role on the template was the "Trickster"
* While EXE actively hated Hog back during season nine, Hog appears to still see EXE as a friend and ally, in World Collide, while he still does feel uncomfortable around him due to him killing Hog.
