Example

**Silver the Hedgehog**, is both a fictional character and tritagonist of the *SKB's* *Sonic Pokémon* series created by Yuji Naka and Ken Sugimori. He is an anthropomorphic silver-white hedgehog hailing from 200 years into the future.

his role is to prevent the ruining of his time by resolving the catastrophes of the past, resulting in frequent interactions with Sonic and the rest of his friends and allies.

For his mission, Silver makes use of his psychokinesis, an ability from his time that is considered the norm, which allows him to manipulate the environment with the power of his mind.

Silver is a kind-hearted and well-meaning individual, driven by a strong sense of justice to right the wrongs of the past to uphold peace, though he is somewhat naïve and immature.

Despite the monumental tasks he may have on hand, he is an optimist and will do whatever is required to protect the world.

"*I'm going to change the future with my own hands!*"

—Silver the Hedgehog, to Dr. Eggman.

### Biography

A hedgehog who traveled back in time to defeat the Iblis Trigger and therefore alter the future. Silver has a positive attitude and a strong sense of justice. He has telekinetic powers that allow him to control physical objects, including abilities to freeze or shock enemies, which he uses to fight for peace and justice.

### Physical Appearance

Silver is a very silver (almost white) anthropomorphic hedgehog with white fur on his chest surrounding his neck, gold eyes and peach skin. He has a black nose on his muzzle, two large spines at the back of his head, while on the front of his forehead there are five distinct spines flared up and back, the two final ones covering up most of his small, triangular ears. He also has a short, pointy tail.

For attire, he wears white gloves with cyan circles with lines sticking out of the bottom leading to his golden bracelets accented in cyan. The tops of his boots are of a similar fashion with a red gem set in gold. The rest of his boots are navy blue with a white stripe down the center, cyan toes, and gray soles.

For the purpose of Extreme Gear racing, Silver wears blue boots with a white stripe down the center, gold cuffs, light blue toes, black and cyan stripes, two light blue straps each with white fasteners, white shoelaces, four gold eyelets, and white soles. He also wears his standard gloves and bracelets.

## Personality

Silver is best described as having "a strong sense of justice" and it is this personality trait that motivates him to go back into the past to correct the future. He believes in standing up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. This led him to accept Blaze when everybody else was teasing her for her pyrokinetic abilities. He makes alliances and rivalries very easily and takes people's word without question. According to his character profile in *Scarlet and Violet Generations*, he is an optimist.

Although seemingly serious on the outside, an interview states that Silver is young and somewhat immature. Blaze comments on this several times and describes him as naïve and insecure when he is alone. Owing to his naivety, Silver also has no idea of how to engage in more informal conversations with others; when Sonic tried trash talking with Silver during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix, the latter took many of Sonic's statements so literally that Sonic noted that he took all the fun out of such banter. Silver is also a regular sweetheart.

He is straightforward, cannot tell a lie, and is always thinking about others' happiness before his own. As such, he is always ready to protect those in need and lend a helping hand. He generally keeps a positive attitude and never gives up hope, no matter how objectively hopeless the situation. When he pursues an enemy, he does so with a relentless determination. While he may sometimes call forth great power without mercy, he is at heart a straightforward and kind hedgehog of justice.

However, calling him a hedgehog of justice might be a bit of an exaggeration. This is because his wish is to maintain peace, and not to eradicate evil. He is also quite humble: despite his actions having helped saved his era many times, Silver does not see himself a hero, but rather someone who tries to not mess up history too much. However, he is willing to bear the responsibilities of being a hero if it means putting smiles on peoples' faces.

Silver wears his heart on his sleeve. He feels anger and joy intensely and loudly, but his sadness is silent and hardly, if ever, marked by tears. He lets his rage control him and cheerfully remarks on the things that make him happy, but hardly says a word in his sadness, though it is visible to everyone. However, though he may feel sad, he never gives in to despair, always looking for a solution the right way.

Silver's way of life also has a way of energizing people and make them want to watch over him and cheer him on forever, which can be considered a part of Silver's appeal. However, his determination and little regard for pain can make him a very frightening opponent. He also tends to deal with things too head-on because of the strength of his feelings and he will sometimes take everything upon himself. However, this is also an aspect of his purity and endearing virtues.

Silver is very courageous and brave, willing to fearlessly sacrifice himself for another in a heartbeat. Utterly unflinching in the face of danger, he is courageous almost to the point of foolishness and is focused on peace with little regard for his own safety.

Despite Silver's naivete and general lack of critical thinking, he is not outright slow-witted. Even Eggman Nega called him perceptive, and Silver was the first to see through his otherwise perfect disguise. With little information to draw upon, he lets his intuition guide him, but as a relatively isolated person, he has little understanding of interpersonal relations or the subtle tools of manipulators.

He apparently has a competitive streak and gets a little snotty and a prickly attitude in the heat of the moment, as seen during the Ifrit incident; when you play as him and pass your rival, he'll say, "*I'm better.*" or if you win a race or battle, he says, "*Who's the best?*" In *Zero Gravity Riders*, when you win a race he says, "*I am not to be trifled with!*" and in *Free Riders 2* he sneers "'LATER!'" upon cruising past a fellow competitor. During the Solaris incident, he generally refers to the Iblis monsters and Eggman's robots as "trash," and typically congratulates himself with a smug tone upon dispatching a roomful of them.

When meeting anyone that gets in his way, particularly during the Onyx Island and Ifrit incidents, Silver can be very short-tempered and bossy towards anyone that's not explicitly helping him in his mission, sometimes even becoming directly hostile and start a fight on a bad choice of words.

When Silver is not focused on his current mission or does not have a task at hand, however, he is very friendly, helpful, and a good companion to have around.

## Abilities and Powers

Silver is arguably one of the more powerful characters in the *Sonic Pokémon* series. Notably, he was able to fight Shadow to standstill and bring Sonic to his knees in their first fight, although he was only able to accomplish the latter because Sonic let his guard down. Silver's primary powers are his psychic abilities, which let him manipulate the environment around him with the power of his mind.

His main application of this skill is his psychokinesis, which lets him control physical objects using telekinesis and has a broad range of applications. A master with this skill, Silver can telekinetically grab and move up to several objects many times his own size and weight as both a single- or collective mass, as demonstrated by his Meteor Smash attack where he forms a compressed ball of objects over twenty times his own size which could potentially weigh a net total of several tons.

He can also use his psychokinesis on himself to allow himself to levitate and fly at immense speeds rivaling of the flying speeds of the fastest jet. Silver's psychokinesis is also able to apply immense strength. With it, he can exert enough pressure to bend a thick steel bar, crush robots with a single telekinetic grab, and immobilize the movements of someone as strong as Sonic completely.

Likewise, when repelling objects with his psychokinesis, Silver can do it with enough force and speed to crush metal, send his grabbed target flying tremendous distances, and even stun enormous monsters such as Iblis. Additionally, Silver can use his psychokinesis to grab onto certain non-solid objects, such as fireballs and certain types of energy blasts.

Offensive usages aside, Silver can also use his psychokinesis defensively by creating barriers of psychokinetically-bend light that are strong enough to block a 0.5% energy blast from the Eclipse Cannon. Silver can also use his psychokinesis to channel pure psychic energies that he can manipulate into energy-based attacks, such as sharp blades that he can fire at opponents.

Alternatively, he can use these energies to greatly charge his already impressive telekinetic throwing range. He can also use these energies to freeze or shock enemies, namely by creating close-ranged bursts of energy that can paralyze his targets or even energy shockwaves that strike all targets around him.

In addition, Silver is very creative with his psychokinesis, as he can telekinetically arrange different everyday objects into various conglomerated shapes as more effective means of attacking, such as giant balls to bowl over opponents and train-sized battering rams. Also, when letting lose, Silver can manipulate everything around him.

Offensive usages aside, Silver can apply his psychic powers for his other abilities. He has for example the power of ESP that grants him limited telepathy, but only enough to induce limited vertigo in others. He can also use his psychic powers to teleport himself over short distances instantaneously by warping space.

Psychic abilities aide, Silver possesses impressive physical abilities too. Notably, he is able to run at immense super speeds reaching those of rivaling Sonic and Shadow's running speed without wearing down. He also has incredible physical durability and endurance; during the Time Eater incident, he withstood several hits from Sonic's Homing Attack, slid along the ground for long distances without harm, and even survived being buried by his own Meteor Smash attack.

In addition, Silver is also shown to have impressive agility and acrobatic skills, enough to let him move gracefully through midair (both with and without the aid of his psychokinesis), do unique tricks and movements while in mid-air, pull off various Spin Attack maneuvers at high speed, and grind on Grind Rails with ease. He also has lightning-fast reflexes and senses, being able to mimic and cope with approximately even Sonic's speedy movements.

Additionally, he can do amazing feats as well, being able to catch objects moving through midair at high velocity, such as bullets and missiles, with his psychokinesis. Silver also possesses above average physical strength, being capable of pushing things several times bigger and heavier than himself.

Silver has also demonstrated the ability to harness chaos energy for his own use; with a Chaos Emerald, Silver can perform the chaos power Chaos Control, and occasionally gain a boost in power. Silver is also able to perform the Spin Attack, a technique where he curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs himself at his targets. With it, Silver can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed.

Adept in its usage, Silver can utilize several variants of the Spin Attack for both ground- and aerial maneuvers, including the Spin Dash, Spin Jump, and Homing Attack. In combat, Silver relies heavily on his psychic powers and using the environment to his advantage. Unlike most other characters who utilize close combat, Silver focuses on long-range attacks. When fighting, Silver constantly keeps his distance, as he tends to concentrate for an attack, which leaves him open.

If an opponent does get too close, however, he can grab them telekinetically and throw them away. Aside from that, Silver's main method of attack involves him throwing the objects around him at his foes. Occasionally, he can also rearrange these objects into colossal, conglomerated shapes as more effective means of attacking.

If projectiles are shot at him, Silver can grab them telekinetically and throw them back at the opponent, effectively allowing him to turn his opponents' power against them. When times call for it though, Silver is also capable of going on the offensive with hand-to-hand combat. However, his proficiency with this type of combat is unclear, as he has only demonstrated a limited range of punches and Spin Attack maneuvers.

As seen during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix, Silver has excellent skills when it comes to driving and racing in racecars like the Lightron.

### Transformations

#### Super Silver

*Main article:* *Super Silver*
By using all seven Chaos Emeralds, Silver can enter a Super State, transforming him into **Super Silver**. In this state, all of Silver's innate abilities far surpasses his normal ones, including his psychic powers which have been greatly amplified. He is as well able to fly without his psychokinesis and is nearly invulnerable.

#### Color Powers

*Main article:* *Color Powers*
By harnessing different variants of Hyper-go-on from Wisps, Silver can use specific **Color Powers** to transform into a certain form, such as a drill, a laser or even a planet, each one possessing its own unique abilities. So far, Silver has been able to transform into the Cyan Laser, Yellow Drill and Indigo Asteroid. However, these transformations require a steady supply of Hyper-go-on to be maintained.

### Weaknesses

Silver will lose his focus when using psychokinesis if he is caught off guard or hit by a surprise attack. Also, Silver does have a limit to how much weight he can carry while using his psychokinesis, with his maximum being around dozens of tons. Attempting to carry more than he can handle will strain his concentration to the extent that he will feel extreme pain. Also, letting his thoughts get distracted weakens his concentration and thereby his psychokinesis.

In addition, if he overuses his psychokinesis, Silver can become extremely fatigued, and will need to regain his energy.
