### Ability Type

Speed-Type

**Sonic the Hedgehog** is an anthropomorphic hedgehog born with the ability to run faster than the speed of sound, hence his name. As his species implies, Sonic can also roll up into a concussive ball, primarily to attack enemies.

Born a carefree adventurer, he has spent most of his life traveling around the world and far beyond, usually in his beloved **Tornado** with his best friend, **Tails**, as his sidekick. A free-spirited and fun-loving adventurer, he has used his abilities to defend his world and those far beyond from the forces of evil, especially his arch-nemesis, **Dr. Robotnik**, and his empire.

## Appearance

Sonic is short and stubby, has a round head and an equally round torso, and black eyes and nose. He has peach-skinned eyelids.

For attire, Sonic wears red boots with a white strap, cuff and gold buckle each; and a pair of white gloves with sock-like cuffs on the hands.

## History

### Past

Sonic's origin story is currently unknown, although he is said to be born on Christmas Island on June 23, with his incredible and abnormal power and ability to run at super speeds.

### South Island Arc

One day, while asleep under a tree, Sonic felt several earthquakes near him, and decided to investigate who was disrupting his sleep. As he was running to Green Hill, Sonic saw a Moto Bug harass some Flickies. After destroying the robot, the hedgehog saw a Flicky get released from it, who then showed him where the doctor was. The blue hedgehog, annoyed by his destruction, hurried out to stop him. After reaching the end of Green Hill, Sonic confronted the doctor, who revealed that he is the scientist who enslaved the local Animals inside robot shells and with this method, he could turn them into robotic servants called Badniks, a method that left Sonic greatly shocked. His minion, revealed to be Snively, also said they were looking for six powerful relics, called the "Chaos Emeralds", which were hidden on the island.

Despite having the whole island as his arch-enemy, Sonic resolved to save the Animals and get the Chaos Emeralds before Dr. Robotnik or Snively could get their hands on them. After traveling across the island while freeing the local Animals, defeating the doctor on numerous occasions, and securing all six Chaos Emeralds, the hedgehog entered his nemesis' fortress, the Scrap Brain, where Sonic fought and defeated Dr. Robotnik and Snively, driving them off the island. With the doctor and his minion defeated, Sonic reunited with his friends in Green Hill, where he released the Chaos Emeralds, with their power ensuring the island's prosperity and was hailed as a hero.

### Little Planet Arc

One day, Sonic was traveling to Never Lake to explore Little Planet, a small satellite that went near earth once a year. When he arrived, however, he saw that the entire planet had been transformed into a mechanical wasteland and chained to a nearby mountain. After avoiding some falling mountain debris, Sonic noticed Dr. Robotnik's face carved into the mountain where the chain was embedded; immediately he knew that his arch-nemesis was behind this and up to no good again and traveled to the Little Planet to liberate it. As he arrived, Sonic learned he could undo Robotnik's work by using Little Planet's time passages to change the past and by collecting the native Time Stones, powerful gems capable of controlling the passage of time which Robotnik had his eyes on to conquer the world.

Shortly after his arrival, Sonic met **Amy Rose**, who had a massive crush on him. Only shortly after their meeting though, Amy was captured by Metal Sonic, a robot created by Robotnik in Sonic's image to destroy him, leaving Sonic with the task of saving Amy too. Using his unrivaled speed, however, Sonic ensured a good future for Little Planet. He eventually caught up to Metal Sonic and Robotnik once again, and raced Metal Sonic at Stardust Speedway with the doctor hot on his heels. While Sonic outraced his metallic doppelganger, Metal Sonic was smashed at the finishing line while Sonic saved Amy from captivity. Sonic went on and defeated Robotnik in Metallic Madness, which caused the doctor's bases to collapse. After escaping Little Planet with Amy, Sonic destroyed the chain holding Little Planet and stood in awe as the planet showed his face in a shower of light as a sign of gratitude before warping away, leaving many new flowers growing around the area. Later on, Sonic jumped into his Tornado and left in search of new adventures.

## Personality

Sonic is said to be "like the wind", a drifter that is always on the move and is noted for being free-spirited and with an endless appetite for adventure, whose motto is "*Run daily whenever in the mood*". Going wherever the flow takes him, Sonic values freedom above all else and strives to live his life according to his own rules and whims rather than the standards of those around him or for the sake of heroism and duty, never thinking twice about what other people say or think. Because of this, he does not see himself as a "hero". Owning to his love of freedom, he is also a very independent guy who is willing to live and die by his own rules.

Born to run and loving to cover as much ground as possible, Sonic enjoys nothing more than adventure and traveling around the world. This is because he believes life should be exciting. In fact, the ways of his heart are much like the Sun; the hedgehog runs and rests, while the Sun rises and sets. The hedgehog also loves interacting with the many cultures present on the planet, and enjoys tasting the regional dishes, specially chili dogs; because of this, he likes to call himself a connoisseur. Endowed with a strong passion for enjoying life, he is never in one place for long and always moves forward to look for his next challenge, viewing his life as a never-ending series of adventures. Because of his need for freedom, the hedgehog loathes the idea of being constrained; being cooped up or being forced to stay in one place tends to make him very uneasy and restless. Nevertheless, he does enjoy a few indoor activities, such as reading, specially on rainy days. Some books he reads include the *Arabian Nights* and *King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table*. Needless to say though, his primary passion is speed, and as such, he likes anything fast; if there is anything he prefers to take slow, it is a vacation.

Sonic's demeanor is normally easygoing, calm, and carefree, no matter the crisis. However, he is generally impatient as he hates boredom, cannot hold still, and can be impulsive and short-tempered. Because of this, Sonic can be reckless and quick to act before thinking, throwing himself into trouble without a second thought and regards for others' warnings, to the point that he has acknowledged that his speed has gotten him in all kinds of conflicts. Nevertheless, he is honest, fearless, and always keeps his promises.

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, being driven to fight injustice for the ideal of freedom rather than in the name of the law. He is similarly always looking for the truth. Due to this, Sonic is never the one to rest in the face of injustice or oppression, and he always protects and fights for the underdog. He similarly hates lies, unfairness, and evil in all its forms, exploding with anger when witnessing anything unjust and doing all he can to snuff it out, throwing his life on the line without hesitation. Adding to his selflessness, the hedgehog believes people should ask what they can do for others rather than the other way around, and never asks for anything in return for his heroic deeds; to him, the smiles he brings to others is all the reward he needs. However, he usually sees his heroics as an opportunity to have fun, making him a thrill-seeker; to him, saving the world is no big feat and just another thrilling episode in his life. When he finds himself in a pinch, he acts as though nothing can stop him. However, this keen and intense personality can make him seem reckless. 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 kind heart and is fully committed to helping out anyone in need at any time when they are in trouble, even if it means getting himself into trouble or being despised by others.

Sonic has a lot of self-confidence and courage, making him believe that he can do anything as long as he is brave enough. Whenever he finds himself in a tough chalenge, he never tries to "cheer himself up"; rather, he thinks that people should refresh and believe in themselves rather than the previous option, and is always like "whatever will be, will be". His signature positive attitude is where his massive internal ego comes from; he thinks that he and his friends will always find a way out of any situation and that he can be unstoppable, and takes great pride in his absolutely unbeatable speed and strength. However, this attitude sometimes leads to him underestimating his enemies and the task at hand. Nevertheless, this ego is not to be confused with narcissism, as Sonic does not see himself as more important than others. No matter the threat or how dangerous it is, he always remains cool under pressure.

He often jokes around to light the mood and will also take any opportunity to taunt his opponents. Being so smug, he has developed a habit of talking to destroyed robots, even when he knows they cannot hear him, which he can be embarrassed about when caught in doing. Despite this, he can be a gentleman when he wants to and be modest with fancy titles. Additionally, while Sonic generally assumes he can deal with things on his own, he also realizes he has friends to back him up in situations too big for himself and believes strongly in teamwork and the bonds he has made, having noted that he would not have come as far as he has today without his friends and allies. In keeping with his smugness and confidence, he often engages in playful banter with his enemies. Sonic is likewise very competitive; while he takes no interest in challenges he knows he can win easily, he always welcomes a good competition that has him squaring off against others on even ground. Sonic likewise never holds back when pitted against others in a test of skills and abilities, and is not above trash-talking his opponents. Nevertheless, Sonic is not one to usually hold ill against others in case he loses in an competition to them and usually maintains a good sense of sportsmanship, even in defeat.

Sonic shows no interest in competing in races, as no one can keep up with his speed.

In keeping with his footloose lifestyle, Sonic never dwells on the past or allows his painful experiences to weigh him down. Instead, he lives in the present and always looks forward to his next adventure, holding no regrets for what has transpired. It is only in the moments of greatest loss that his macho and carefree appearance falls away, like in the apparent deaths of his closest friends or loved ones. Similarly, he always does what he thinks is right and never second-guesses what he does, remaining steadfast to the end. Together, these qualities give the hedgehog an incredibly strong character and will; no matter the situation, he never doubts himself or gives up, never once submitting to the darkness in his heart.

Sonic deeply cares about his friends and will risk his life for them without any due consideration. While he can leave them hanging, act rude towards them, or endanger them due to his fast-paced nature, Sonic never intends to make his friends - specially girls - unhappy and values them above all else, treating each of them as the most important person in his life. He will likewise always accept help from his friends and show great trust in them. He places everyone one on the same level as him and does not show interest in treating anyone differently because of a supposed superiority. Because of this, he can come across as rude to figures of authority by speaking to them informally, which often lands him in trouble.

Regardless of the many foes he has faced, Sonic rarely considers them true enemies and instead tends to admire them for how powerful some of them are and how much fun they can provide him. Likewise, he is shown to have a remarkable capacity to forgive; the most notable example of this is when he forgave Silver and worked with him after the latter had tried to kill him twice.

Sonic has proven himself to be much more insightful than he usually lets on, being capable of seeing through deception or noticing things that others would have overlooked. Also, despite his teenagehood, he can freely get on with children and adults alike. He can likewise give valuable and comforting advices that drastically change the outlook of others. These two points, combined with a charismatic personality, allow the hedgehog to get along with virtually anyone he meets, even if they were his enemies at one point. However, while he is able to change those around him for the better, he himself has not really changed over the course of his adventures; he firmly sticks to his beliefs and does not let anything but himself define him.

Sonic appreciates scenic views and has a fondness for locations that are filled with flowers, trees, and other kinds of plants.

Said to be "picky" about sound and "fuzzy" about music, Sonic has been shown to enjoy cool music. Furthermore, he has been shown to like breakdancing. His fighting style seen are also based on break dancing. He breakdances numerous times, usually when he is victorious.

Sonic tends to get irritated when his enemies often misidentify his species, namely by calling him a rat, making him correct them and state his actual species is a hedgehog.

## Power & Abilities

### Abilities

#### Speed

Sonic's greatest strength is his super speed. He has proven himself to be in a class of his own with his speed, having been credited as "the fastest thing alive" and even the fastest being in the universe. He has the ability to instantly accelerate to the speed of sound and run at speeds that exceed Mach 1, which is at the blistering speed of about 768 mph, and can run backward just as well as he can forwards. Due to such speed, he can scale vertical surfaces and ceilings, run over water, out speed lasers, and even cause the ground to explode and lift off in his wake.

Sonic has demonstrated complete mastery of his speed in any environment and can use it for both high-speed offense and defense. Not only can he run at maximum tilt in straight lines, but also in full tight circles and through sharp turns with full control over his momentum. As far as stamina goes, Sonic's is seemingly limitless as he is never winded from running.

Sonic possesses astounding kineticism and precision, and has the reaction time to match his speed. He has profound acrobatic skills and agility, along with incredible reflexes that lets him avoid any incoming obstacles with precise and delicate movements. When launched into the air, he can also pull off several tricks before landing. He also has incredible jumping skills, capable of jumping up to several hundred meters, even with extra weight.

#### Hand-To-Hand Combat

Sonic possesses notable strength. He can push and lift things bigger and heavier than himself, run without extra weight slowing him down, smash through metal and rock, and damage foes countless times his size. However, it is debatable whether the latter's power comes from his speed, strength, or a combination of both. Sonic's strength particularly lies in his legs; with a single kick, he can send Badniks flying. This does not mean that Sonic's arms are not strong either; he has enough strength to tear robots apart by hand.

Even without his Spin Attack, Sonic is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant. He mostly relies on his fast footwork since the majority of his power lies in his legs, though he has been known to use his fists and arms from time to time, albeit in a rather straightforward manner. His fighting style is mostly derived from breakdancing moves which utilize Sonic's legs to their fullest, allowing him to deliver swift, wide-ranged kicks. He has also been known to use flying forward kicks, split kicks, and scissor kicks.

### Durability

Sonic has frequently demonstrated extreme resilience to damage. He can survive getting caught in the crossfire from all angles by Eggman's robots (which only knocked him out cold briefly), resist a powerful punch from Knuckles from his foot, and smash through several robots with his fist without discomfort. Additionally, Sonic has more than once survived impacts from falls at extreme heights, bordering at the edge of space, only to shake it off when landing, and has even withstood atmospheric entry.

Sonic possesses an unbreakable and incorruptible spirit; in situations where most others would give up and where he is severely outnumbered and outgunned, Sonic never loses faith in himself and never surrenders. This trait enables him to keep on fighting when utterly exhausted or after taking an abnormal amount of damage.

It appears that Sonic can control the strength and durability of his otherwise soft quills at will. While he is spinning, they appear to be extremely hard like buzzsaw blades. His quills (and body) are durable enough to slice through metal without even moving at the speed of sound. In addition, Sonic's quills can sense nearby dangers, which they warn him about by creating a tingling sensation. A similar precognitive ability of his that allows him to sense nearby danger comes in the form of sneezing. Sonic has also demonstrated the ability to transfer his speed throughout various parts of his body, allowing him to immediately set off from stationary positions and even channel it into objects to speed up their movements and make them pierce through solid objects as he does while running. He can also create an effect reminiscent of a time halt, even though it is unknown what it is derived from.

#### Vehicle Mastery

Sonic has extraordinary skill in operating vehicles. He has excellent skills when it comes to piloting planes like the Tornado, and experienced in a variation of sports such as boarding and surfing, and other recreational activities.

### Powers

#### Spin Attack

Sonic's core offensive maneuver is the Spin Attack, a technique where he curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs himself at his targets. With it, Sonic can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed and hit with enough force to pierce colossal boulders. Highly adept in its usage, Sonic can utilize some variants of the Spin Attack for both grounded and aerial maneuvers, including the Flying Spin Attack, Spin Dash, Spin Jump.

#### Super Peel Out

Sonic is able to utilize the Super Peel Out to travel to his fastest almost immediately. When performing this technique, the user moves their legs in a specific circle pattern, while remaining stationary, before taking off at higher-than-average speeds. When performing this move, the user bends down slightly in a standing position and begins moving their legs in a specific pattern to build up speed, all while remaining still in one spot. Once they have built up enough speed, the user blasts forwards at extreme speeds.

#### Insta-Shield

The Insta-shield causes Sonic to rapidly spin in the air, fast enough to briefly generate a shield of wind. For the split second it lasts, it extends the range of his standard Spin Attack. When using it, Sonic creates a rapid 360 degree spiral flashing around him for both offense and defense.

## Weaknesses

While not aquaphobic, Sonic is a very poor swimmer, and he is incapable of swimming properly. Furthermore, whilst underwater, Sonic's speed will be greatly decreased.

Also, if Sonic does not sleep for eight hours during the night, it will spoil his running. In addition, he has trouble keeping his balance when coming to a sudden halt when running at high speed.
