## Biography

* Hedge's Story

Hedge was once his world’s Sonic the Hedgehog. On his journey to stop Dr Robotnik, he was stopped mysteriously within the first act of Labyrinth Zone. Being watched by a young man named Polo, he clipped through the floor of Labyrinth zone and fell into its void. For a few days, Sonic tumbled further and further, wondering if he would ever hit the bottom.

Surely enough, eventually, Sonic did hit the bottom. He landed right on his face. bruising himself. Now he was stuck, left to walk through the dark. All the while, the game could not find the little guy no matter how many character checks it ran, leaving Sonic to be crushed by the pressure of Labyrinth Zone’s void. He wandered and wandered, finding nothing but reflective pools of water and darkness all around him. All the while, Sonic would begin to change…His body stretched nearly an entire foot, his eyes darkened, his skin changed color and texture, and the tips of his ears and crystals were so heavily affected by the pressure down beneath that they crystallized, much like how coal would turn into diamond. A small scar on his stomach he got from landing stretched across his entire front, forming a gruesome X. A scar he got on his forehead sprouted and branched on his head, becoming a dark mark. His bones, his organs, his nerves… All gone. This terrified him at first, but slowly he began to forget that he had a past life; an obligation.

Gazing at his new form in a reflection pool, Sonic began to realize things that he hasn’t before. This was never meant to happen, but something told him that he was not alone in this struggle. Gaining an overwhelming amount of knowledge in a very short amount of time, yet forgetting what he once was, it was too much for one hero. With the knowledge of the entire multiverse within him, Sonic (who by this point couldn't hear any part of his name besides Hedge, which was where he got the name from) screamed out to the surrounding darkness for help.

There wasn’t all too much left of Sonic by the time the game found him lost, broken, and confused down in the void, bringing him back up to what was left of Green Hill Zone. Since he was away, Robotnik had completely mechanized everything, turning the once bright and colorful South Island into a mechanical monochromatic wasteland now simply known as Grey Hill. Making his way around rather aimlessly, he noticed very little organic life left after the robotic takeover, only encountering a stray injured Flicky or two. The world, despite not remembering exactly what it looked like before, depressed him. He wanted to leave, and he would soon find out he was able to. One piece of knowledge that he gained down in the void was the knowledge that he himself was a computer file, which caused him to ponder the possibility of migrating his file out of the rom he was contained in. Morphing his body in a quick flash, he tore his body and soul out of Grey Hill and into the nexus of Polo's computer.

The blue desktop of the PC manifested into a long hallway with many doors, each with small icons above them. The floor rippled like water with each step and pulsed with electrical currents below where he walked. Shapes floated gently overhead and arrows shot by like bullet trains. Walking down the hallway, he analyzed each door's icon, piecing together who would be located where based on a small and seemingly insignificant symbol. Most of them consisted of eyes, X's, or markings that were synonymous with the EXE who's world the door led down to. Hedge threw caution to the wind and decided to enter a door labeled with red and green circles. His arm brushed against the side of the door and jumbled the coordinates, landing Hedge smack-dab in the middle of the void.
## Trivia

* Hedge had at one point a planned YouTube series called *Downfall*, which was supposed to be similar to NeedleM0use. The prologue is planned to be posted some time in June but the series never came to fruition.
* Hedge's method of travel is referred to as "File Hopping". Hedge travels between the files of Polo's computer and can enter his web browser or even other games that are on Polo's desktop.
* Hedge isn’t limited to bringing his file info into other games, as he is able to eject himself out of a computer by burning his information onto a disc. If the disc is used, Hedge can enter other forms of technology, such as a TV. Putting his disc into a CD player will result in nothing happening, however.
* Hedge travels through the multiverse by File Hopping into a hub of sorts called "The Centerland", composing of a long hallway with many doors to other worlds.
* Hedge has no bones, as they were destroyed by the void. While not one for killing, he does ravage corpses of their bones in order to feel more whole. His favorite things to collect are teeth, as he thinks it makes his smile more charming.
* Hedge cannot hear the word “Sonic”. It fizzles out when it reaches his ears. When his full title is read to him, Hedge is the only word he’s able to gather from it. This means that Hedge technically doesn’t actually have a different name, more that he doesn’t know the rest of his original one.
* Hedge is in a relationship with Yo Army's EXE Kai, which was established as a pairing on 4/29/22.
* Hedge and Curse are extremely close, with the former referring to the latter as his dad. He also refers to X-Terion as dad on occasion.
* Hedge's best friend is NormalCD. In fanon, he enjoys playing games with Normal, usually stretching his limbs out to amuse the smaller hedgehog. Hedge has also helped Normal out in the little hedgehog's attempt to express his romantic feelings for Curse.
* Hedge is Asexual & Panromantic.
* Hedge is Autistic.
* In Hedge’s original design, he was depicted with whiskers (seen on EXE’s such as Lord X) and a constantly bleeding nose. This was changed in Hedge’s first official artwork. Hedge’s shoes also possessed two straps and were much flatter.
* According to Hopscotch, Hedge’s original design inspiration came from the prompt “weed sonic”, resulting in a psychedelic green Hedgehog with strange eyes and warped limbs that later became Hedge.
* Hedge was planned to be in ILLEGAL INTRUCTION a Friday Night Funkin' mod, but it due to its cancellation, he never made it in.
	+ Hedge was gonna be staring in his own Friday Night Funkin' mod, being Sorrowful Sonata. (which is sadly cancelled, but there are plans of "remaking it from the ground up")
* Hedge has an official theme, which is composed by JesterFrog.
