Aeon the Hedgehog

Prosthetic Eye

Aeon is a fan character created by Alexial Golden, for a summer school project in August of 2002. Since then she has gone on to feature in several animations, stories, video game mods, and flash games. Most notable of her appearances is the flash animation, Final Fantasy Sonic X, and a Sonic Generations mod created by Youtube user UltimateDarkman

## Appearance

Aeon has an inverted quill style composed of white fur and green highlights. Due to previous injuries as a teen, Aeon has a cybernetic right eye, as well as a prosthetic right forearm/hand and prosthetic legs from the knees down. She occasionally uses a brown cloak to shield from the elements.

## Personality

Aeon was once a very studious and gentle teenager, who preferred researching and learning, rather than interacting with her peers. She was very shy, and only spent time with one person. After being imprisoned in the Multiverse, Aeon's heart grew cold. Cursed with the knowledge of an infinite number of realities, which are now part of a much, MUCH larger picture, Aeon has a hard time sympathizing with the plights of individual worlds. She is obsessed with gaining power, and is unconcerned with the methods used to achieve her goal.

## Powers

Aeon's link to the multiverse allows her to draw upon it as her main means of attack. This grants her the power to rip temporary holes in the space/time continuum, causing colorful rifts of energy to explode from her body and repel anything in its path.

Aeon's cybernetic enhancements allow her to process visual information and react to it almost instantaneously with enhanced speed and strength

Through her travels, Aeon obtained a crystal that focuses and stores the energy released when she activates a rift portal. She is able to fire these charges of energy through her arm cannon.

Unlike most hedgehogs, Aeon is unable to utilize the powers of  the Chaos Emeralds.

She is also able to teleport to areas within her line of sight, which enables her to battle against enemies much faster than herself.

Due to Aeon's connection to the Multiverse, upon "death", she simply returns to the void, thus granting her a semblance of immortality.

## Weaknesses

Aeon is perpetually drawn to the void between universes known as the Multiverse. It is a desolate blackness without form. By using the powers of Traverse, she is able to rip holes in the space/time continuum to visit various worlds, but is unable to maintain a permanent presence in them. Once her time is up in a particular world, she is imprisoned back in the void of the multiverse until she is able to find a new world.

## History

Aeon grew up in a world isolated and very low in population, following the downfall of a major civilization. At a young age, while most children were playing  with wooden swords and having fun and games, Aeon was content to study the technology and the fall of the previous civilization. Her only friend was an older hedgehog named Amber. The two were nearly inseparable, and spent most of their time exploring ruins that Aeon had found. Through her studies and field research, Aeon learned of a tomb she interpreted to be that of a fallen hero. Curiosity got the better of her, and she went to explore it without Amber.

What she unleashed was an unholy hell in the form of a phantom being named Twilight. With his magic, Twilight unleashed a never ending horde of monsters and on his path of domination, destroyed Aeon's village, killing her parents in the process. Aeon tried valiantly to fight against Twilight, but was quickly and easily defeated. Rather than killing Aeon, Twilight crippled her right arm and blinded her right eye with a fire spell, and cast her aside. After the army had razed her town to the ground, Aeon spent months searching for her dearest friend, hoping for nothing more than a friendly face.

Meanwhile, the phantom had seized control of the entire world, and his tyranny immediately brought suffering and destitution to the population. Aeon, emotionally destroyed at the loss of his parents and disappearance of his beau, vowed revenge and began constructing basic cybernetics to repower her dead arm and eye.

With her newfound power and an insatiable lust for revenge, Aeon began her assault on Twilight's fortress, where the self-proclaimed ruler sat on his throne, awaiting the hero's arrival with a spell-bound Amber at his side. After tearing her way to the entrance of the throne room, Aeon heard a voice resonating within her head, offering her the power to fight Twilight. Disregarding the voice as a mind game played by her nemesis, Aeon opened the double doors and stepped inside. What awaited her was more than he could handle.

Twilight had possessed Amber, and was using her as a shield against Aeon's relentless onslaught. Unable to bring herself to harm his only remaining friend, and devastated at the realization that she was now against her, Aeon surrendered, and received the beating of her life. On the verge of death, Aeon once more heard the voice inside her head, offering her the ability to save Amber and herself. Unbeknownst to her, she had also released another phantom entity from the tomb, and with little choice, she accepted. Soon after, a massive hole ripped in the space/time continuum, and the two hedgehogs were sucked into the void between universes, leaving Twilight free to continue his reign of terror in Aeon's world.

Aeon awoke to find herself in a perpetual darkness. Time held no meaning, and minutes turned into millennia. Amber was nowhere to be found, and Aeon found herself almost completely alone. She came to know the new voice in her head as Traverse, a phantom very similar to Twilight.

"It won't end here. I'll find you, Amber... and we'll go home together." Aeon vowed as a portal to a new world opened...
