King K. Rool

He is a kind and caring boy who lives in Station Square on Earth. At the start of the series, Chris finds Sonic the Hedgehog at the bottom of his swimming pool and saves him from drowning. He then hosts him, Miles "Tails" Prower, Amy Rose, Cream the Rabbit and Cheese for most of the series. Chris, very much like Tails, looks up to Sonic like an older brother figure and is always willing to do whatever he can to help his new friends.

## Appearance

Chris is a young human boy with peach skin, short brown hair and blue eyes. At the age of twelve, Chris usually wore a black long-sleeved shirt with a light blue stripe on each side under a red t-shirt with white sleeves and yellow details, a belt hanging off the edge of his jeans, white socks, and blue and yellow stylish shoes with gray soles. At the age of eighteen, Chris began wearing a cream long sleeve turtleneck, blue jeans and brown shoes. He started wearing a lab-coat around the time when he created a teleporter to go to Sonic's world.

When arriving at Sonic's world, he reverted back to his twelve year old self as his clothes as a teenager became loose before it was replaced by his primary clothes from his twelve year old self.

## Personality

Chris is a calm and well-mannered boy, though sometimes a bit energetic with a hunger for adventure. Despite being a "rich kid", Chris very is down-to-earth, thinking himself no different from everybody else and does not want to be treated differently despite coming from a rich family. Because of being isolated from his parents since childhood however, Chris would often suffer from emotional pain and loneliness and thus longed for close companionship. Growing up, Chris did make friends with a few of his classmates like Danny, Frances, and Helen, but his relationship with them was not able to mend his loneliness. Chris' friendship with Sonic and his friends would ease his pain though, but because of how close his friendship was with them (especially with Sonic), it would also make him sink into a mild depression or even make him have breakdowns whenever he feared they would leave him. All of this indicating abandonment issues, most likely due to his neglectful parents.

Chris deeply treasures the bonds he makes with other people and will do anything to preserve them, especially his bond with Sonic. However, this tends to give him a reckless or selfish streak, like when he fell into one of Eggman's traps in an attempt to help Sonic and his friends get home, or when he deliberately kept Sonic from returning home so he would not leave him. Regardless, Chris has a good heart and is always remorseful when his feelings get the better of him.

At the age of eighteen, Chris seemed to have gained somewhat of an attitude, especially around Helen. He is somewhat of a super genius at this age, probably taking after his grandfather.

## Powers and abilities

At the age of eighteen, Chris has become a scientific genius. Notably, Chris was able to invent an interdimensional portal generator similar to the one his grandfather and Tails built six years earlier, with the twist being that it did not need Chaos Emeralds as a power source (which was a good thing since the emeralds were scattered across the galaxy). He also invented many gadget shoes for Sonic to use in battle, including the Nitro Blasters, the Power Shoes, the Hover Shoes, the Speed Shoes, and the 2G Hi-Speed Shoes. He has also become skilled at karate, having been trained by Mister Tanaka. Chris has also become a brilliant hacker, with Tails claiming that only he or Chris could hack into the system of the Blue Typhoon.

### Weapons

During the Metarex wars, Chris used a laser pistol.

## Relationships

### Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog is Chris's best friend. Chris first met Sonic when he crash-landed into the swimming pool of his parents' mansion, and at first, he had to keep the fact that he saved a blue, talking hedgehog a secret by saying that Sonic was a cat, unfortunately for Chris, his grandpa Chuck discovers Sonic and suspects that he is a robot. However, he later proves instrumental in helping to rescue Sonic's friends and finding the Chaos Emeralds. Sonic and Chris quickly form a close bond that turns into an everlasting friendship that not even separate worlds can break. Like Tails, Chris is as close to Sonic as a younger brother would be. Sonic has always been there when Chris really needed it, as Chris admits in episode 51 when he says to Sonic: "You have always been there for me".

### Miles "Tails" Prower

Chris and Miles "Tails" Prower are good friends throughout the first two seasons and are seen riding in the X Tornado together. Chris helps Tails give Sonic Power Rings when Tails is too busy to do so. In season three Chris and Tails become closer friends due to Chris being an accomplished scientist in the season and having more to relate to now. Tails comments that Chris reminds him a lot of Chuck now.

### Amy Rose

Amy Rose is another one of Chris's friends, and the two tend to get along quite nicely, but when Sonic gets in the mix, Amy tends to become annoyed. At one point in episode 42, she even threatened to hurt Chris if Sonic didn't come out of hiding, although it is later revealed that she didn't mean it seriously. Despite their ups and downs, they show good care for one another and will help each other if needed. Chris and Amy have both admitted to being a bit jealous of Sonic's freedom to do anything at any time.

While they do care for each other, Chris does have some fear of Amy, as in episode 46, he forfeited a karate match with Knuckles as the winner would then face either Amy or Rouge, as they were in a martial arts tournament for a Chaos Emerald. Additionally, Amy can sometimes be stubborn and refuse to let Chris take on certain missions, typically in missions having to do with rescuing Sonic whenever he's captured. For example, in episode 55, when Sonic gets captured by the Metarex, Chris went back to the Typhoon to prepare himself to rescue him, but then Amy calls in and forbids Chris from rescuing Sonic, saying that she'll take care of the rescue and does not need a chaperone, hoping to win Sonic's love as usual.

### Knuckles the Echidna

Not much can be said about Chris's relationship with Knuckles the Echidna except that the two get along well enough. After Chris gets captured by Eggman due to Knuckles believing his lies in episode 25, Knuckles makes it his objective to find and rescue Chris. Throughout the series, Knuckles is shown to be concerned for Chris's safety such as when they entered a fighting tournament, Knuckles refused to fight Chris in the Quarter-Finals because he did not want him getting hurt, and also, Chris was concerned that he would be facing Amy or Rouge in the Semi-Finals if he won, resulting in Chris forfeiting the match.

### Cream the Rabbit

Cream the Rabbit is also one of Chris's friends, they are seen tagging along together in some episodes and are generally friendly to each other. Despite this, in episode 7, Cream gets mad at Chris after he makes a comment about how his mom is rude to leave the party without telling the guests. Cream is upset because she overheard his mom crying about how she is never able to be there for him and that Cream can't see or even talk with her on a phone with her mom since she is back on Sonic's world. Later, Cream forgives Chris and makes him a crown of flowers which, according to Sonic, is something that she only does for people she really likes.

### Cosmo

Cosmo is a friend of Chris as well, they get along pretty well. Cosmo starts to look up to Chris after he nearly succeeded in rescuing her from Black Narcissus during which time Chris tells Cosmo that she reminds him a lot of himself before he met Sonic. Like the others, Chris is greatly saddened when Cosmo sacrifices herself to save the Galaxy.

### Helen

Chris and Helen are very close friends in the first two seasons of the anime. Out all of Chris's human friends, Helen is the most trusted. In the second series, Chris and Helen appear to have become closer and they both excel at machinery, shown in episode 52 when six years after Sonic and his friends, along with Eggman and everything else from Sonic's world, returned to their world, Helen had taken up work to help Chris get the portal to Sonic's world working again to go visit him and his friends. Both also felt lonely due to the fact that their parents were working really hard and had little time for them. However, Helen's family was doing it to get by and she was able to restore her relationship with her parents much quicker than Chris was able to with his.

### Danny

Danny is Chris's childhood friend and helps Sonic and the others a few times in the first season. In the Archie comics Chris and Danny are shown to be on the same soccer team. In the pilot episode of the series, Danny was going to have a much larger role then he ended up having but he would still have a smaller role than Chris.

### Frances

Frances is another close friend of Chris who helps Sonic and the team out in the first season. Frances is seen as a tomboy and enjoys poking fun at Chris and Danny.

### Shadow the Hedgehog

Chris takes an interest in Shadow the Hedgehog especially when he returns after supposedly sacrificing himself to stop the ARK from hurtling into the earth. Shadow does try to hurt Chris at one point, but Chris is rescued by Rouge, who later abandons him and then Chris must be rescued by Knuckles. Although at times Chris has shown signs of dislike for Shadow, he has also shown signs of liking him. Chris kept Shadow's Limiters until Shadow came back and Chris returned them to him. Chris did as well shed one tear when he learned Shadow was supposedly dead. Chris also convinced Shadow that Maria would want him to help people before Shadow lost his memory. Chris also reminds Shadow of Maria.
