Petrichor

Petrichor is an EXE created by https://twitter.com/draconix\_097 on August 11, 2022. He is a version of Sonic living in the world of Knuckles' Chaotix. His code and story was altered after Facsimile fell into his world, causing Petrichor to deviate pretty far from his hero-like persona.

**Biography:**

Petrichor was originally Sonic, before Facsimile ended up falling to his planet and altering the entire world, leading to Sonic becoming Petrichor and branching off into an alternate version of Sonic the Hedgehog. Petrichor's story is fairly similar to Sonic's, save for the moments after he first encounters the Chaos Rings.

Starting at the begining, Petrichor was a green hedgehog, born into a family of aristocrats that lived in the Tranquil Islands Attraction (this world's version of Zones). However, Eggman invaded the island and accidentally killed Petrichor's family in the wake. Petrichor got captured by Badniks, but he kept trying to fight and wormed around, leading to the Badniks shocking him and then throwing him into a lake.

However, due to the large amount of electricity and the shock of cold water, Petrichor somehow unlocked some hidden power that allowed him to run at supersonic speeds. He managed to use these powers to fight off the Eggman Empire, ultimately becoming the Protector of Tranquil Island. However, Petrichor hears about the mass destruction caused by Eggman, and decides to become a national hero, using his powers to take back the Attractions and isolate most of the Empire to the Newtrogic High Zone.

During his travels, Petrichor met Knuckles, who (in this universe) was using his spiked gloves and unusual strength to help stave off the Eggman Empire. The two struck up a friendship over their mutual dislike for Eggman, eventually becoming good friends. Knuckles even took Petrichor to see his homeland, a mystical place called Angel Island. Due to the strange forces on Angel Island, Petrichor had a dream where he found the 3 Chaos Rings (the Chaos Emeralds of this world), and took on a glowing, purple form where he was invincible and could fly at speeds beyond imagination.

Petrichor, upon waking up, told Knuckles about this. Knuckles confirmed that it was indeed the otherworldy power of Angel Island, blessing Petrichor with a vision of some godly power he could reach by obtaining all three Chaos Rings. The two fantasized about using this power to finally defeat the Eggman Empire, and went to Temporal Obelisk to obtain the Rings.

Petrichor managed to break the seal on the Obelisk and obtained the Rings, going Supersonic and taking on a purple form. However, Petrichor wasn't ready for the power of the Rings, and due to the chaotic and somewhat sinister energy of said Rings, Petrichor saw deep into the EXEverse, seeing the powerful beings, with himself at the center, ruling as its all powerful God.

However, he saw something else. The Rings flocked away from him and to another figure, in the form on a Hedgehog with a scarf, foreshadowing Facsimile coming to his world and overthrowing him.

Petrichor, instead of destroying the Eggman Empire, decided to destroy the Marooned Marines Zone (who had a large arsenal and militia), and become the tsar over his world with "unlimited" power. After his ill intentions got the best of him, the Rings seperated from Petrichor's body and sealed themselves back inside the Obelisk. Since Petrichor was no longer pure of heart, the seal could not be broken by him. So, he teamed up with Eggman in an attempt to find some way to break the Temporal Seal, as well as maintaining control over the world.

Knuckles, in the meanwhile, gathered a team of survivors, forming them into the Chaotix. They all wore green neckwear, as a symbol of how they weren't afraid of Petrichor (green was considered an unlucky colour after Petrichor's uprising). Knuckles went back to fighting not only Petrichor, but Eggman and his Badniks as well, resulting in the blindness of his right eye and many scratches and scars.

During one of their fights, Petrichor ends up using a Screw-Top attack to deliver a fatal blow to Knuckles' ribs. However, Facsimile falls to the planet and saves Knuckles' life using his ability to manipulate code. Petrichor sees this doppelganger of himself and feels something that he hasn't felt in a while- fear. For some reason, he knows this odd copy was meant to defeat him, and so Petrichor began watching his activity closely.

Knuckles took Facsimile in as a member of the Chaotix, and Fas dawned a green scarf to show his belonging with the team. He also gained his own Ring, grew out his hair, and pierced his ear, all while Petrichor sought out the Chaotix to attempt to destroy Facsimile.

Petrichor eventually bumped into Beacon, however. Beacon was an EXE Bounty-hunter, who came from a distant universe to track down an EXE that had caused a major disturbance in the past couple of months. Beacon mistook Petrichor for said EXE, and upon realizing his mistake, ceased fire. Petrichor struck up a deal with the robot, knowing that they were both after the same person: Facsimile.

At that moment in time, it also clicked with Petrichor that he must've been an EXE, some powerful being standing out amongst others. He thought about Facsimile also apparently being an EXE, which freightened him further, as Fas was the only being (besides Beacon) in the game who could probably defeat Petrichor.

This realization made Petrichor work harder to track down Facsimile.

**Trivia:**

* Petrichor is both Aromantic and Pansexual.
* Petrichor is named after the actual word "Petrichor," which is the smell of earth before a rainstorm. It's one of SoySpance's favorite smells, which is why he gave the Hedgehog that name.
* Green is considered an unlucky color in the world of the Chaotix, due to Petrichor being colored green. It's worn by the Chaotix because no one else dares to wear it except for them.
* Petrichor is actually an EXE, which is confirmed after Beacon mistakes him for Facsimile, due to their sensors being triggered by Petrichor's presence.
* Petrichor's favorite food is macaroni and cheese. No, that is not a joke.
* Petrichor is an EXE because he was indowed with some of Facsimile's code-altering power (hence how they both glitched not only out of technology, but out of existence due to the sheer power exhibited by Petrichor's Supersonic form).
* After becoming a Mazin, Petrichor took on the name よく深い, or Yoku Fukai, which means "Greedy" in Japanese. He also has no memory at all of what occured before he became a Mazin.
* Petrichor, despite being quite cruel and sin-driven, did have a soft spot for his deceased family, and kept a photograph of them tucked inside his left shoe.
* Petrichor is left-handed.
* Petrichor was never really friends with Eggman, nor vice-versa. Petrichor only worked with Eggman to further his own goals, and Eggman only worked with Petrichor out of fear for his life.
* There is no Tails in this universe, because Petrichor let him drown in the Marooned Marines Zone.
* His birth name is Petracloris Orville Hedgehog. He also goes by Pete, and went by Sonic for a time, before finally settling on the name Petrichor.
* The purple straps on his shoes are compression bands. They help Petrichor run faster.

**Abilities:**

* Super speed.
* Can weild the Chaos Rings to take on a Supersonic form (no one else in the Chaotix universe can do that).
* Good at gaslighting and manipulating.
* Has little to no care for anyone but himself.

**Weaknesses:**

* Insulting his family. Granted, he'll drop his guard, but that'll only make him angrier, so not a great idea.
* Facsimile.
* EXE Bounty-hunters.
* Anyone else with the ability to go Supersonic.
* Puzzles or critical-thinking activities.
* His stomach (injured gravely after a battle against a Super Badnik).
* Sides of his face (having many, messy quills gives him a blind spot).
