Sonic the Hedgehog

**Sonic the Hedgehog**is a sixteen year-old, anthropomorphic blue hedgehog, who is the title character and main protagonist of the *Sonic the Hedgehog*franchise. He is also known as a legendary hero around his universe for his hypersonic/high-hypersonic speed (hence his name), and his laid-back, energetic, cocky attitude, and short-tempered demeanor towards serious situations, yet holds a strong sense of justice and freedom, and is willing to use his abilities to protect the innocent from all evil (especially his arch-nemesis Doctor Eggman). He is also a core member/de-facto leader of the New Freedom Fighters, the boyfriend of Amy Rose, and the mascot of Sega.

## Physical Appearance

Sonic is an anthropomorphic hedgehog of average Mobian height with a lean and athletic yet well-built physique, blue fur that covers most of his body with the exception of his muzzle and torso, peach skin that covers his muzzle and torso, and emerald green eyes. He has six, messy quills dropping back from the back of his head with several small cow-lick like spikes that sticks out from the top and lower quills, two quills protruding from his back drooping downward and a short tail that points up.

For attire, Sonic wears a pair of light-weight, hyper-friction resistant, red sneakers with a white strap, sock-like cuffs and a rectangular golden buckle, a pair of white gloves with sock-like cuffs on his hands, white sports tape around his palms, the lower-half of his arms and legs, and the heels of his sneakers. He also has a wristwatch communicator on his left wrist, and wears a brown neckerchief around his neck.

## Personality

Having been described as being "*like the wind*" (a drifter that is always on the move and is noted for being free-spirited and adventurous), Sonic has a passion for adventure and is very much a thrill-seeker, always looking for the next thrill, challenge, and triumph. He values freedom above all else and lives his life according to his own rules rather than the standards of those around him and without concern for what others think and enjoys nothing more than traveling the world. Endowed with a strong passion for life, he is always moving forward to look for his next challenge, making his life a never-ending series of adventures. Because of his need for freedom, Sonic loathes the idea of being constrained, as he gets extremely twitchy and restless when cooked up a small space for too long.

For Sonic, speed is a way of life; he runs fast, thinks fast and even eats fast. Being addicted to speed and actions, Sonic is unable to process the aspect of being immobilized, which makes him extremely stir crazy, and in times of peace he gets bored and restless when there is no new threat. He is most of the time easy-going, cool, playful, lively and carefree. He also acts on instinct and lives in the moment like a daredevil. However, he is often impatient, hates boredom, has a short-temper. Because of his impulsive nature, Sonic can be reckless and tends to run headlong into trouble without a plan and regardless of other's warnings, but his heart is always in the right place. When being honest, he tends to be rather blunt, but always keeps his promises.

Sonic is known for having a large ego that is his typical driving force, making him laid-back, quick-witted, sassy, cocky, cheeky, and a bit overconfident. Possessing a snarky and narcissistic tongue, he is also prone to joke around even in dire situations. However, when the situation calls for it or his friends are in trouble, Sonic can be serious and will immediately rush to their aid. He is also very benevolent, possessing a strong sense of justice and fair play, and is extremely courageous and heroic, being fully committed to helping out those in need at any time. Sonic also does not back down or give up, because he has an unwavering belief and faith in himself and his abilities. It is only in the moments of greatest loss that his macho and carefree appearance falls away.

Sonic's personality is a juxtaposition of kindness and ferocity. He is extremely benevolent, driven by his own strong sense of justice and fair play, and firmly stands for freedom, but he is never the one to rest in the face of injustice or oppression. He hates all evil, exploding with anger when witnessing it, and will do all he can to snuff it out, throwing his life on the line without hesitation. However, he usually sees his heroics as an opportunity to have fun, making him a thrill-seeker. In times of crisis though, he is aggressive and focuses intensely on the task at hand as if his personality has undergone an astonishing change. At the same time, Sonic has a big and gentle heart and is fully committed to help out and protect those in all kinds of trouble at any time, even if his actions will have ill consequences.

In dealing with his enemies, Sonic is usually light-hearted in behavior, often mocking his opponents with insults and puns. Given how serious he can be in some cases, however, it is likely that these jokes are an attempt to lighten the mood or project an air of confidence. Of course, it also serves (in most cases) to aggravate his enemies to the point of distraction. A milder form of this behavior is found in ribbing of his various friends and allies, who he often aggravates while attempting to get them to loosen up. Despite this, he can be quite the gentleman when he wants to and be modest with fancy titles. Following his free-spirited nature, Sonic never dwells on the past or allows his loses or hurtful experiences to weight him down. Instead, he chooses to live in the present and always looks forward to his next adventure, while holding no regrets for whatever has transpired.

Sonic is extremely loyal to his friends and is willing to risk his own life for them and their well-being without any due consideration to protect them, and even to strangers that he meets. While he can leave them hanging or even endanger them due to his fast-paced nature and sometimes being a loner with a cynical demeanor, and at times acts rude, Sonic never has any intention of making his friends unhappy and values them above all else. Equally, Sonic is always willing to accept help from his friends if offered, and will show great trust in them, though he is not above making mistrusting assumptions of them. He even realizes that his friends are his true strength and has shown to be a more admirable teammate and leader of many forces, being quick to ask for help and acknowledge their collective contributions. Regardless of the countless foes he has faced, Sonic tends to admire them for how powerful some of them are and how much fun they have given to him. Likewise, Sonic is shown to have a remarkable capacity to forgiveness, even towards his enemies. Despite his outward demeanor, Sonic has shown to be much more insightful than he usually lets on, capable of seeing things others would have overlooked and can as well give valuable and comforting advice that drastically changes the outlook of others, such as Elise, Merlina, and Blaze. This insight, combined with a charismatic personality, allows Sonic to get along with virtually anyone he meets even if at one point they were his enemies. His personality is even similar to that of Naruto Uzumaki as noted by Kakashi.

Sonic has a fondness of the beauty of nature and he stands as a protector of it. He is also shown to have a fondness for locations that are filled with flowers, trees and other kinds of plants. Sonic has been shown to enjoy music, but seems to have an special interest in rock music and break dancing.

Sonic likes adventures, relaxing, running, challenges, racing and peace and serenity, but dislikes evil, losing, his friends being threatened, deep water, getting wet, being insulted by others, and seeing someone cry. His favorite food is chili dogs, but his least favorite food is eggs.

## Powers and Abilities

### Speed

* **Supersonic Speed**: Sonic's most notable skill is his ability to move at super speed, allowing him to run at speeds greater than *Mach 1*, which is at the blistering speed of 761 mph (1,225 km/h), and can run faster than the speed of sound (maybe even the speed of light). He is also renowned as the "*World's Fastest Hedgehog*" which is at a staggering speed ranging from 3,840 mph (6,180 km/h) to 7,680 (12,360 km/h). He is occasionally referred to as "the fastest thing alive," and is even noted to be the fastest being in the universe. Due to such speeds, he can run backwards at full speed, scale through walls of high-stories buildings and run through water, and can even most fast enough to create a *sonic boom* without effort. It is also believed that Sonic can move faster while in spinball form than running, even reaching the speed of light as seen when utilizing the Light Speed Attack (which makes him attack at light speeds) and the Light Speed Dash to achieve light speed movements. His speed does not seem to have certain weaknesses in that recklessness (the possibility of crashing into unintended targets) and "straight-line only" concepts are invoked, showing he has complete mastery over his speed. Sonic is additionally shown to be able to run in full tight circles, thus is not exposed to the impotency of only being able to run fast in straight lines. Should he be running at uncontrollable speeds, he can utilize the Drift to opportunely control his momentum and even crash into foes with it.
	+ **Accelerated Healing**: Sonic is able to heal any injuries he received by vibrating his body at supersonic speeds.
	+ **Homing Attack**: One of Sonic's trademark attacks. It allows him to home in and attack a target while in midair at high speed in ball form.
	+ **Shockwaves, Barriers, and Vibrations**: Sonic can launch shockwaves by spinning in his spinball form at high speeds, and create barriers of super speed for a split second. Sonic can also set strong winds in motions with high-speed movements which he can use to attack opponents similar to aerokinesis.
	+ **Speed Transfer**: Sonic is shown to transfer his speed throughout various parts of his body (which may explain why he was able to use the Sonic Boost in midair from a stationary position, negating certain physics) and Sonic can even transfer his speed through objects, enabling them to go faster and overtake other platforms.
	+ **Sonic Boost**: Sonic's newest trademark move. It is a technique which increases his speed further, where he envelopes himself in blue aura and turn himself into a projectile, allowing him to destroys any enemy caught in his path. He does not even need to have contact with the ground in order to execute the move and can use it to temporarily fly immense distances through midair.
	+ **Sonic Wind**: A favorite technique that Sonic uses when he creates a cyclone of blue swirling winds and fires it at the opponent.
	+ **Spin Attack**: Sonic's original trademark move. A standard hedgehog technique that allows Sonic to curl into a ball while running and attack his opponents or pushing through objects, but not hazards.
		- **Spin Dash**: One of Sonic's trademark moves and a variation of the Spin Attack. It allows the user to instantly launch themselves forward into a high speed Spin Attack from a stationary position. The user crouches, performs an oval-shaped Spin Attack to charge (this part is dubbed the *Spin Charge*), then dashes off in a high speed rolling attack. The Spin Dash is used to attack enemies or break through walls, as well as dash up steep slopes without having to build up running momentum.
	+ **Spin Jump**: One of Sonic's trademark moves. It enables the user to curl up into the Spin Attack while jumping to attack midair enemies on contact or jump to greater heights.

### Flash Step Prowess

* **Flash Step Master**: Although Sonic is fast on his feet, Sonic is highly proficient in Flash Step at a masterful level, able to outmatch several opponents who can barely keep up with his new speed. He can even match and sometimes surpass Yoruichi, an advanced captain-class Soul Reaper known for her mastery over Shunpo.

### Physical Abilities

* **Extreme Acrobatic Skills and Reflexes**: Sonic has shown astounding feats of kineticism, precision and has reaction time to match his speed. He possesses incredible acrobatic skills and agility, alongside astonishing reflexes, making him able to avoid sizably voluminous and miuscle obstacles with precise jumps and delicate movements despite their incoming speed, alongside double jumps and wall jumps. He can even perform perfect synchronized mid-air trick movements while in mid-air.
* **Incredible Jump Ability**: Sonic has incredible jumping skills, allowing him to jump several hundred meters high in the air, even when carrying extra weight.
* **Enhanced Durability**: At several times, Sonic has demonstrated great resilience to physical damage. He can survive getting caught in the crossfire from all angles by Eggman's robots (which only knocked him out cold briefly), and he can smash through several robots in a row with his fist without showing any sign of pain or injury. It is also worth noting that, for nearly all the battles Sonic has endured, he has never been crippled or displayed any serious injuries. It is also shown that Sonic can survive free-falls from extreme heights, bordering at the edge of space.
* **Minor Super Strength**: In terms of physical prowess, Sonic has often been noted for lacking overall physical strength by comparison. Nevertheless, Sonic has demonstrated a small degree of superhuman strength (though nothing in comparison to Knuckles' strength). He is able to push,throw,and lift cars,buses and trucks weighing 10 tons, carry beings as large as himself while still run at top speed, and his Spin Dash and other spin forms are strong enough to cut through metal, burrow through the ground, smash through surfaces by stomping, or break down walls. However, it is debatable whether the latter's power comes from his super speed, his super strength, or a combination of both. Most of Sonic's fighting moves involve his feet and legs more than his hands, which suggests that Sonic's legs are more powerful than his arms, such as when he was able to create a minor shockwave with his feet while stomping on the ground in mid-air. But that doesn't mean his fists are strong to, as he is capable of punching through a steel wall with one fist without any signs of injury.
* **Indomitable Will**: Sonic also possesses an indomitable force of will; in situations where most others would give up and resign themselves to defeat or imprisonment, and in situations where he is severely outnumbered and outgunned, he always forges on, never loses faith in himself and never surrenders.

### Combat Skills

* **Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: Despite not having received any known training in martial arts, the many years of battles Sonic has been through has made him a skilled fighter and a profound user of hand-to-hand combat, being able to go up against others with far more battle experience.
	+ **Footwork Fighting Style**: In battle, Sonic mainly tend to use his legs and fast footwork to attack his opponents as his greatest strengths lies in his legs, though his is also shown to use his arms in battle as well. He also uses fast strike or quick maneuver tactics against more experienced opponents. In hand-to-hand combat, Sonic makes use of his greater speed to deliver fast strikes to his opponents, allowing him to either deliver several strikes in a split second or strike foes with increased force. For stronger physical strikes, he tends to perform Spin Attacks, Spin Dashes and Homing Attacks, or any other technique in his arsenal.
* **Master Swordsman Specialist**: Though not his style to use weapons in combat, Sonic shows amazing swordsmanship skills during his adventures in Camelot, able to fight on par with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

### Other Skills

* **Sharp Quills**: It is assumed that Sonic can control the strength or hardness of his quills. They appear to be extremely hard like buzzsaw blades when he is in spinball form, capable of shredding through several layers of reinforced steel to just about anything with enough speed. When he is not in spinball form, they appear soft and flimsy like rubber. His quills also allow him to sense incoming danger.
* **Uncanny Planning Ability**: Sonic has good planning ability, despite his laid-back and energetic demeanor. He is also to predict the movements of his opponents, and counter them before they have the chance to make an attack. His cunning intellect can even predict that some things that are happening could be caused by Eggman.
* **World-class Extreme Gear rider**: Sonic has proven himself as a world-class Extreme Gear rider and is able to go head-to-head with the best Extreme Gear riders the world has to offer, namely Jet the Hawk and Metal Sonic. It would appear that Sonic has a natural talent for Extreme Gear riding, as he quickly grasped the controls on his first try and can perform several advanced techniques, despite being self-taught.
* **Proficient EnerBeam wielder**: Sonic is a skilled practitioner in using EnerBeam technology.
* **Grinding**: Sonic is able to grind on certain rails in various locations.

### Chaos Powers

* **Harnessing Chaos Energy**: Sonic can harness Chaos Energy by using a certain amount of Chaos Emeralds to unlock Chaos powers.
	+ **Chaos Control**

### Transformations

* **Speed Aura Mode**: Sonic's new and frequent transformation. By using the Awakening Aura Gem on his left bracelet, Sonic gathers blue spiritual energy around his body and it shrouds him in a blue aura. The transformation also makes some appearance changes: his green eyes now become light-blue, his hair quills are pointed upwards like his super transformation and his chest has a white-blue lightning bolt symbol. This transformation also increases his abilities, though not as strong as Super Sonic, but increased by fifteen fold.
	+ **Power Augmentation**: In this form, Sonic's physical capabilities are all greatly enhanced to the point where he go toe-to-toe with some of the most powerful opponents in the series.
		- **Hyper-Speed Combat**
		- **Enhanced Strength**
		- **Enhanced Durability**
		- **Enhanced Jump**
		- **Enhanced Speed Aura Mode Duration**
	+ **Enhanced Spin Dash**
	+ **Enhanced Homing Attack**
	+ Enhanced Sonic Wind - While in Speed Aura Mode, Sonic can still use the Sonic Wind, but with enhanced variations. These potent crescent wave blasts are colored white with a blue outline, can have their path finely controlled, and possess explosively augmented power and speed.
	+ **Enhanced Chaos Powers**
		- **Chaos Energy Projection**
	+ **Sonic Flash Kick**
	+ **Sonic Aura Blast**
* **Super Sonic**: By using all seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic can enter a Super State, transforming him into **Super Sonic**. This is by far Sonic's most frequently used transformation. In this state he can fly, is faster, stronger, nearly invincible, and has an open link to the Chaos Force. He does, however, needs Rings to maintain this transformation or else he will revert to normal.
* **Sonic the Werehog**
