Character's name: Sonic the Hedgehog
Character's LJ:youretooslow thatsnogood (also thats_nogood on LJ)
Character's canon: Sonic the Hedgehog
Brief (around 300 words) personality outline of your character:
When you have a name like Sonic, it's a bit like the Flash; you have to live up to it. To say that his running skills don't affect his personality would be like saying the Chaos Emeralds doesn't affect Knuckle's life. Speed is a given to him, it is his legacy and what he does best. You know, apart from his wisecracks.
He is fluid movement moving in perfect tandem. It almost looks like he can control the air, able to move and keep up the pace in any situation. He goes so fast he can literally RUN on water. In fact, he can be faster than many times the speed of sound, if the situation calls for it. It's even worse once he uses the chaos emeralds and goessuper saiyen bright golden yellow.
Things come and go. For someone who moves so much in his life, Sonic's pretty mellow about everything that happens in it. The destruction of his homeworld will be a big deal, but know they can bring it back will give him more than enough confidence to go on forward. He said it himself once 'everything has to end'. After all, he's fought time and time again against what were supposed to be insurmountable odds and just shrugs whenever his least favorite mad scientist appears with a new machine (bonus, Robotnik doesn't appear to be on the ship). He knows he'll win in the end anyway. It's all about being cool and about looking bad ass doing it. There's nothing better like casually slipping a “you're too slow!” while blowing up Eggman's newest invention. So yes, he's overconfidence and slightly douchy, to put it lightly. Yet Sonic is the type of hero to fight to right the wrongs and will defend his friends to the bitter end.
Wisecracking, of course.
He's intelligent, to a fault. The speed in his legs also work in his cerebellum, and he can do remarkable things...if he takes the time to do them. Sonic doesn't do BORING. You might say he's also lazy. His IQ may be not as high as Tails or Robonik, but Sonic does come with a remarkable dose of common sense which can be worth it's weight in gold. He knows when to start attacking and when to step back and let the others handle it. When threatened, he tends to take everything with a grain of salt, if no one life's is involved...after all, he knows he's damn awesome and insults just pass way over his head. The added bonus that this annoys of some of his foes makes it even better. He can dish it out as well, being a pro at snapping back insults at his foes with a remarkable calmness to other people few would even dare. He carries around his confidence in everything he does. No worries, no problem. If a friend's life is involved however? Sonic Boom. He'll let loose a barrage of insults and proceed to hand the persons ass back to them before they even have time to blink. No one messes with his friends (but him).
He's a hero, through and through. If you have a problem, he will do his best to help you out in any way he can. If you're a friend, he will be there through thick and thin, willing to risk his life for you, no hesitation. That is...if he feels it's worth the trouble. Sonic's not a fool, and wants his friends to grow stronger as well. If he feels that they would learn something from whatever trouble is plaguing them, he will not move in in unless he feels it is absolutely necessary. He is your older, big brother. Dangerous when angered, but teasing if he thinks you can manage on your own. He's extremely generous to his friends (to a fault).
Don't expect him to hang around for extended periods too much. Sonic is a hedgehog that enjoys adventure and exploring too much to be able to stay in once place for too long. Adventure tends to find him there anyway, so he's quite content at exploring the city and playing the hero at the same time.
He does have a strong weakness that is easy to exploit. No one tells him he's not the fastest thing alive. He will go out of his way to prove he is time and time again.
Brief (around 500 words) history and background of your character OR link to a really good wiki page with their history. In either case, explain where they cut off from the timeline:
http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_%28character%29
Sonic will be taken post Generations, so basically after everything else.
This is Gameverse Sonic (not Archie Comics nor Cartoon/Sonic X anime)
Sample post (just a general, everyday, puttering-around-the-ship post; please include a snippet of dialogue):
It was nice to have his shoes back. After spending just a few minutes without them in the pods, Sonic realized how much the shoes were now an integral part of him.
He ran up and down the buildings of the city, doing (what else?) exploring as usual, sometimes stopping on a rooftop to admire the view. There had been mentions of him being here before but he couldn't remember a thing. Maybe it was just for the better - if he had known about being cooped up in a tiny little chamber like that, he most certainly would have complained.
"And hey! This place does have a pretty nice view," he told no one, tapping the rooftop with one foot, before jumping to another. "But there's nothing better than a good old chilidog. Wonder if I can grab one somewhere..."
"Uhhh must you talk about that foul piece of garbage? But you're quite right about the view, sire" the sword tied behind his back sighed. "Also if I may be so bold as to protest, must we jump around like this in a terrible display of acrobatics?"
"Hey don't sweat it Caliburn! I'm just taking in all the sights. Shouldn't take too long, you know, being me." Before the sword could come up with a witty comeback, he was already off again.
If the character has magic, mutant, or otherwise metahuman abilities, please explain what they are and outline EXACTLY how they function, as their powers may not work due to the nature of the ship or may need to be limited somehow:
Oh god Sonic has so many abilities it is kinda crazy. HERE WE GO:
HYPERSONIC SPEED: Sonic can move up to speeds of 3,840 mph on land without his Chaos Emerald powerups. He is occasionally referred to as "the fastest thing alive," and can run backwards at full speed just as well as forwards. Due to such speed, he is able to scale right up the walls of buildings, and can also run right over water. However...
SINKING ROCK: HE SINKS IN WATER. Like a rock. If he stops running over water, he will just go down and down and possibly drown if he's not careful. And even if he knows how to swim, it does nothing.
SPIN DASH ATTACK & LIGHTSPEED: You think going at Mach 5 is ridiculous? Well hold on to your hats because Sonic can roll himself into a super tight ball. When used while running at a very high speed and rate of torque, he is able to destroy barriers and enemies. This move is also used in mid-air as a jump. Even more ridiculously, if he goes fast enough, he's able to move at the speed of light, digging in ground, rock and pretty much anything.
SPEED INSTA-SHIELD | WHIRLWIND: Whirlwind causes Sonic to rapidly spin in the air, fast enough to briefly generate a shield of wind. This lasts for just a second, but can be used to stop blunt attacks from hurting him.
SONIC BOOST: Sonic can move at even faster speeds after a running start, causing everything around him to be nothing but a blur.
IRON QUILLS: Sonic can control the strength of his quills. They can be extremely hard and dangers when it he in spinball form, combined with his speed making him able to shred many layers of reinforced steel, and just about anything when he's at full speed.
TRANSFORMATIONS (SUPER/HYPER SONIC): If you thought Sonic was fast and crazy, wait until you throw the Chaos Emeralds at him and see him turn a bright yellow. In this state he can fly, can go out in space without a need to breath, is faster and much stronger. He does, however, need rings to maintain this transformation or else he will revert to normal. Since that's more of a game gimmick, I'm going to say he can only stay in this state for a few minutes at best, and leave it at that.
SWORD FIGHTING (EXACALIBUR SONIC): Sonic posses excellent swordmanship skills as displayed in Sonic and the Black Knight. In his locker, he will find one(1) Caliburn aka Excalibur, a wise-cracking ancient talking sword that allows Sonic to turn into Excalibur Sonic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHrGTSHV-qw) for a short period of time.
VIDEO: This video shows a lot of the above skills: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P92wur4qBqc
Non-superhuman special abilities of note (Is your character a master ventriloquist? A naturally-occurring super-genius? The best martial artist in the world? Say so here):
SUPER AGILITY AND ACROBATICS: Along with his reflexes, this enables him to avoid both large and small obstacles with uncanny precision, despite the speed they might be coming to him. When he jumps into the air, he can preform a series of airbown tricks. This is even more evident when he uses his EXTREME GEAR.
JUMPING: Due to his speed, he can jump incredible long distances, up to several hundred meters. He needs a running start for this to happen, however.
INDOMITABLE FORCE OF WILL: Where others would just give up, Sonic pushes on, even in situations that seem completely dire. He'll die doing what needs to be done, never looses faith in himself, his friends and never quits midway. This makes him incredibly hard to be possessed. In fact, one of the game's plot was entirely based around that Sonic was one of the only characters who could withstand Dark Gaia's influence.
