Chaos Drill

Created by Gerald Robotnik aboard the Space Colony Ark, Rouge the Bat is made to be the Ultimate Life-Form, with the image of a guardian angel. She was created with the intent of curing Gerald's grandson, Ivo Robotnik, of his disease. The project, however, was shut down before their goal was achieved and Rouge was put into a 50-year stasis at the age of 18. Due to said stasis, Rouge remains 18 to this day.

## ***Design***

Rouge's design is somewhat similar to her canon counterpart, however, her make-up is more darker and "gothic". The insides of her ears, wings, tips of her hair and outline of her eyes are dark magenta, while she flies light grey fur and a tanned muzzle and belly. Her eyes are a deep green, with a side of dark purple as her eyeshadow, with ink black eyelashes. The outside of Rouge's wings are almost black, pebble black.

Rouge wears a brownish magenta crop-top, with long sleeves that run into her white gloves, and skintight pants of the same colour. The rims of her white gloves and boots are the same shade of magent as her ears and wings. She also wears a long, black cape, with a golden clip that holds it in place around her neck.

Rouge wears four inhibitor rings around her wrists and ankles, much like Canon!Shadow, and they are for the exact same reason. Due to her having chaos energy in her body, those rings are there to keep the energy at an equal level. She also wears miniature versions of those rings on her right ear, to prevent the chaos energy from damaging her brain.

## ***Personality***

Rouge has been described to be similar to the superhero Batman in terms of her personality. She is often quiet and broody. Sarcasm is also one of her fortes. She possesses a hidden competitiveness, which is what reinforces her rivalry with Tails, the world renowned hero.

## ***Abilities***

Since she has chaos energy in her body, Rouge has the ability to use that energy at will. Though her abilities are mainly flight-based, she has a signature move known as Chaos Drill. This is very similar to Canon!Shadow's attack, Chaos Spears.

When using Chaos Drill, Rouge uses small bursts of pure chaos energy to dash through her enemies or obstacles with great force. She spins rapidly into a spiral, resembling a power-drill.

Rouge has great agility, simply because she is light weighted. She has "snappy" flight movements which are similar to a hawk.

Rouge's forte is conjuring long-ranged attacks during flight, but if push comes to shove, she is proficient in hand-to-hand combat.

## ***Trivia***

* Over the years her eyesight deteriorated slightly due to being a bat; however she makes up for this with her excellent hearing.
* Her arch-frenemy is Tails. Rouge is physically stronger than Tails however he counteracts this with his superior flight skills. They are very competitive with one another, often Tails being the one to taunt her first. In their spare time they like competing in flight races. Rouge also sees Tails as a younger brother, and sometimes sees a bit of Ivo in him.
* Her cape wasn’t originally ripped on the ends. It got tattered over time from battles. It was actually a design suggestion made by Ivo when Rouge was first being developed. On the ARK he didn’t have much entertainment other than the retro comic books his grandfather brought from Earth. In those comics he idolised all the cool superheroes and all their heroic deeds, and the one thing they all had in common was that they all wore capes. This led to him wanting to give one to Rouge as a sort of “good luck” charm for her. Turns out it’s also very aerodynamic for her so Gerald stuck with it.
* VERY photogenic.
* When not working she's seen resting up on high places hanging upside down.
* When relaxing, Rouge likes to lay down wherever she deems able. She does this because she looks dead and people don't bother her.
* Her wings alone weigh twice as much than she does, She doesn't feel it though. Her cape is leather, so add that to the weight.
* Original name being PROJECT ROUGE, Gerald aimed to create an immortal being showing the characteristics of an angel.
* Rouge steals eggs from Shadow's fridge, roughly around 3am, and eat them raw.
* Rouge can eat glass shards without much discomfort.
* When asked if the Darkswap cast would join the Olympics; Rouge had been banned from all fencing activities as she had stabbed her opponent. She was seen complaining about it, but continued on with golf as she is apparently skilled at it.
* In response to an anonymous user's question; the creator says that Rouge's music tastes are dark techno, metal, grunge, house and white noise.
