## Biography

Trevor Maurice never had the best life. As a child, he was always seen as a weird and messed up kid. His parents never treated him right, he hated them, he hated everyone. He wanted to make everyone hurt just as much as him, he wanted to kill people. The only comfort he found was in playing Sonic The Hedgehog 3 on his SEGA Genesis. He used Sonic as a therapy tool, leaving the game running as he vents his feelings to the fictional hedgehog. He’d occasionally play as Tails so he could purposely plunge him into spikes, he hated Tails and believed the characters were alive and could feel pain. As he grew, he only became more twisted. That was until he met Angela Hope, the only person who ever understood him and treated him right. She quickly became his best and only friend. Her presence had helped Trevor improve as a person and put his life together.

By the time he was in his twenties, Trevor had improved tremendously and had even gotten himself a job as a photographer. He had proposed to Angela, and the two were now living as a happily married couple and even had plans for having a kid. Things were finally looking good for Trevor, but he still had those murderous thoughts from when he was a kid, but learned to resist them and shake them off. That was until one fateful night, five years later. Trevor had received the phone call that his wife was involved in a horrific car accident. He ran as fast as he could to the scene, but it was too late. She was dead.

Trevor returned home a broken man, all of his dreams and happiness were crushed. He would never be the same. The urges of murder eventually got the best of him when he snapped and brutalized his boss Valentino. Trevor had nothing more to live for, so why not finally give in to the urge? Every weekend, he’d look for a new victim. He would always commit the crime quickly and efficiently, and he would never get caught. It had become routine for him. People would refer to this mysterious killer as ‘The Weekend Slasher”.

One night, Trevor would commit his final murder. He would break into the residence of Scarlet Caddel and her 6-year-old son Thomas Caddel. Trevor would kill her in cold blood and Tom would hide and call the police. Trevor, deciding that killing this kid would not be worth him getting caught, leaps out the window into the car and flees the scene. The police would track him down and arrive outside his house. In one final act to not get caught, he lights his house ablaze, killing him.

Trevor’s soul would find a new home inside his old SEGA Genesis, where he would go on to possess the Sonic character. Now in this strange new world, Trevor wanted to continue his killing spree from when he was human. He would give the other in-game characters sentience, so that he may torture them over and over, and feel satisfied by their screams of pain and pleas for mercy. This wasn’t hell for him, this was paradise.

10 years later, the burnt Genesis would find itself in the hands of Kyle Wren, the best friend of the now 16-year-old Thomas Caddel. Trevor would psychologically torment Kyle for weeks to get him to deliver the Genesis to Tom, so he may exact revenge on the person who was the entire reason he got caught in the first place. Kyle couldn't take it anymore and gave the Genesis to Tom. Unknowingly, Tom had just brought home a killer.

A killer that wants revenge.

## Abilities/Weakness

### Abilities

* Can control fire.
* He retains Sonic’s speed.
* He is able to exit the TV, where he enters his Charred form.
* He has the ability to give the ingame characters sentience.
* He can reset the game whenever he wants, and if he chooses so, he is able to erase the memories of the ingame characters as well.
* He is able to psychologically torment whoever has the haunted Genesis.

### Weakness

* Burnhog can be killed ingame, though this will only delay him as he respawns like every other character.
* After exiting the game in his Charred form, he’s in a much more unstable and weak state, lacking the majority of his abilities from inside the game.
* If Burnhog is kept outside of the game for long enough, he’ll begin to crumble to ashes. He must re-enter the game to rebuild himself.

## Triva

* He is extremely short tempered, and lashes out at the slightest inconvenience.
* He is very proud of the crimes he committed when he was human.
* Because of his cowardliness, Tails is Burnhog’s favorite to hunt.
* In this universe, SEGA has gone out of business, leaving Sonic as a forgotten brand.
* Whenever Burnhog breaks the boundaries and limitations of the game, he will enter a corrupted state, losing all color and beginning to bug out. He is in immense pain when in this state, but after 10 years he has grown numb to the pain.
* His Charred and Corrupt forms both only have one eye because Scarlet Caddel had cut open Trevor’s eye with a shard of glass before he murdered her, leaving him with a permanent scar, even in the afterlife.
* Burnhog is blind in his left eye, but the eye appears normal in both his regular form and the Deceiver form.
