Infinite (Original incarnation/previous identity)

**Mace** is a main character in Sonic Forces: ARC Infinity, the protagonist during the Shadow Dimension Arc and a major antagonist during the Sonic Dimension Arc. He is the Shadow Dimension's Incarnation of Infinite, after the activation of ARC Infinity, who resides there in Metropolis as a professional Extreme Gear rider.

In a joint effort with Team Chaotix he established Chaotix-Mace Racing and became Metropolis' most dominant Extreme Gear team ever. The sheer dominance led to mixed reactions from subjecting the opinions of the Extreme Gear racing fanbase to either praise or despise, not to mention waves of overly jealous competitors.

Mace idolizes Sonic the Hedgehog and believes that his inspiration for him was what led to his success in Extreme Gear Racing. Despite the world's state after the activation of ARC Infinity, he wishes to one day meet him personally.

Mace's prosthetic hands house functional remains of the ARC Infinity are called the "Hands of ARC Infinity" with the name coined by Shadow the Hedgehog. Not only can they be used to store fragments of the Phantom Ruby but the hands themselves be used to remotely communicate with life forms, who are in a observable proximity, that were once broken apart by experiencing everything they currently witness and endure. At touching distance the "Hands of ARC Infinity" are used to absorb those broken apart life forms, inheriting all of their memories and even their current emotional states.

## Appearance

Mace is an average build anthropomorphic wolf with dark green-blue eyes and dark sky blue fur, tail, gloves and shoes with peach skin. He has round and pointy ears with a series of quills that extend down to his shoulders. Mace wears a white biker jacket with a sky blue hexagonal patterned bodysuit worn underneath. Both of Mace's hands are mysteriously prosthetic with the fingers sporting a black and white pattern.

## Personality

Mace is outgoing but soft spoken who lets his actions speak louder than his words. Around Rio and Team Chaotix he is shown to be incredibly social, cracking wise jokes with them, but around those he is unfamiliar with, such as paparazzi, he is a nervous wreck. As a result he is very close with the friends he has known for a long time and resents the idea of leaving them for new friends.

As an Extreme Gear rider, he competes with the utmost intent to win even if it meant his sportsmanship with other competitors is at stake. His aggressive racing style put him in bad terms with most of his competitors, developing bitter rivalries with them on and off the track.

Mace shows immense care for his friends and will go to any extent to protect them. When Nero entered the Shadow Dimension, Mace was able to synchronize with Nero through the "Hands of ARC Infinity" and experience everything he did while there. This included Nero's encounters with members of Team Dark, Zavok, Zazz and Zeena. When faced with life threatening situations, Mace indirectly influenced Nero to fight back ruthlessly against those attacking him. Through Nero's encounters with Team Dark and the Zeti, Mace develops a hatred for them just like Nero.

## Powers, Abilities and Weapons

Being a professional Extreme Gear rider, Mace is in uptight shape and more than capable of outstanding agility, durability and strength. This includes decent running speed and ability to scale tall buildings with timely wall jumps and a wrist-mounted grappling hook.

### Asteroid Wispon

Although never seen using the wispon himself due to the weapons sheer nature in its ability to counter the Phantom Ruby and ARC Infinity's powers, Mace prefers using the Asteroid Wispon for locking onto multiple targets and launching humanoid projectiles all at quick succession. Due to this wispon's unpredictable nature and recoil damage due to his possession of the "Hands of ARC Infinity" and/or Phantom Ruby fragments, Mace refrains from ever using this Wispon and instead opts for traditional blaster wispons for combat.

### Phantom Ruby

With a Phantom Ruby in hand, Mace can use it to manipulate reality, matter and time-space. He can use them to fire beams from his hands, create false illusions, spawn and change weapons with those from memory and even conduct a version of Chaos Control known only to the Phantom Ruby.

#### Phantom Ruby: Chaos Control

This ability is unique to Mace and his dimensional counterparts. Like the version of Chaos Control used with Chaos Emeralds it can manipulate time and space. However this version of Chaos Control cannot warp the user through time or space and can only alter reality around them and freeze time for a brief moment that returns the user back to the point of activation. This ability can also rewrite events at the user's will by simply changing the outcome. For example, Mace can use Phantom Ruby: Chaos Control to turn a group of robots attacking his allies into the robots being simply destroyed with no harm done to his allies.
