Age: 15  Occupation: Adventurer Alignment: Hero  Sonic the Hedgehog, nicknamed the "Blue Blur," is well-known for his speed which is called "second to none." He made his first appearance in the game "Sonic the Hedgehog" for the Sega Genesis in 1991. Though he enjoys lazing around and simply enjoying himself, most of the games focus on the main antagonist Dr. Robotnik attempting to take over the world, only to be stopped by Sonic and occasionally several of his friends everytime.  His best friend is Miles Prower, more commonly called Tails. Acting as somewhat of a sidekick and slowly maturing into more of a partner as the games go on, the young fox has a knack for inventing things and other machinery.  Lots of times he'll also team up with Knuckles the Echidna, guardian of the Master Emerald. He's been called his rival on several occasions and the two get along well (most of the time).  Sonic is prideful and hates to be constrained, enjoying freedom and doing things at his own pace (which is always incredibly fast). Though he is cocky and rather impatient, he is someone who would never turn their back on a friend in need or to protect the greater good (on several occasions performing actions that nearly result in his death).  Sonic mainly fights by curling into a ball and spinning at high speeds (known as the Spinball, Spin Dash, etc). He is also a master in Capoeira (a Brazilian martial art)

Sonic the Hedgehog

The name "Miles Prower" is a pun on "miles per hour", a reference to the famed speed of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a young, male, golden-yellow, anthropomorphic fox with two tails (similar to the mythological kitsune, or "yoko", which was often depicted with up to nine), hence the nickname. He is able to use his two tails to propel himself into the air like a helicopter for a limited time. His debut was in October 16, 1992, taking part in the 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2; the 16-bit version was released that November. He is 8 years old, stands at 80cm (2ft 7in), and weighs 20kg (44lbs).  Viewing Sonic as somewhat of an older brother, Tails looks up to the hedgehog and aspires to be like him. Though lacking confidence in his abilities as well as experience, Tails does things in a more logical sense than Sonic, often using his ability with machines to turn the tides.   (Source: Wikipedia)

Miles Prower

Name: Ivo Robotnik  Nickname: Dr. Eggman  Age: Unknown  Height: 6'1"  Weight: 282.2 lbs  Occupation: Self-proclaimed genius scientist  Robotnik is the villain of the Sonic universe in most games, a genius scientist with an IQ of 300. He is always attempting to destroy parts of the world to make it home to his super-city so he can then attain world domination, only to be stopped by Sonic and his friends every time. On two occasions he has used a scientific experiment and an ancient monster to achieve his plans, both of which fail (Shadow the Hedgehog and Chaos, respectively).  He doesn't fight himself all that often and usually builds robots to carry out his dirty work, powered by small animals. Some of his more notable inventions include the Egg Carrier (a flying fortress), the Death Egg (a space station), the Egg Mobile (his aerial transportation vehicle), Metal Sonic (a robotic clone of Sonic), among many other things.  His grandfather was also a genius scientist, Gerald Robotnik, who originally created Shadow the Hedgehog via Black Doom's DNA.

Ivo Robotnik

A young hedgehog who also happens to be Sonic's most loyal fan. Madly in love with the blue hedgehog, Amy is often seen trying to track him down, and thus finds herself mixed up in the conflicts between Eggman as well. Hardly a damsel in distress, Amy is one of the most powerful characters with her Piko Piko Hammer, though she often finds herself using it simply for comic relief. Of course, if Sonic is threatened, Amy will quickly step in to save him.

Amy Rose

As the last survivor of his clan, Knuckles lived most of his life in seclusion on Angel Island, an island floating in the air; and as such he is something of a loner. His inexperience with off-islanders leaves him very honest, and also gullible. Knuckles is shy around girls. Although he is cool and determined in battle; his short temper gives rise to situations in which Knuckles, often instigated by the trickery of Dr. Eggman, begins fighting Sonic the Hedgehog.In the anime Sonic X, when Amy asks Sonic why Knuckles wouldn't come with them, Sonic replies "That's Knuckles. He does things his own way." Although he and Sonic fight from time to time, there is an undercurrent of mutual understanding between the two. Ever since the introduction of Shadow the Hedgehog as one of Sonic's darker, more anti-heroic rivals, Knuckles' relationship with Sonic has seen as much more friendly by comparison, and they both rarely fight anymore. Additionally, Knuckles has been tasked all his life as being the Guardian of the Master Emerald, as only descendants of his tribe are capable of controlling it. If Sonic exemplifies the wind, then Knuckles is the mountain: stern and anchored to his duty. However he finds Sonic's adventurous lifestyle enviable. Various literature from the early games list his favorite food as being fruit, or to be more specific, grapes. He also is described as hating strong light; in Casino Park in Sonic Heroes, if you keep the characters still for long enough he'll say, "Everything is so twinkling and bright. I hate it!!"

Knuckles The Echidna

Shadow is an artificial created life form in the design of a male, anthropomorphic hedgehog. He resembles Sonic in many ways, such as how his hover skates propel him at extreme speeds to rival those of Sonic; but he distinguishes himself with greater use of his signature ability to use Chaos Control with Chaos Emeralds. He is Sonic's rival and is the anti thesis of Sonic himself in all aspects of Shadow's life. The rings attached to his wrists suppress his power.  Shadow vowed to keep his promise to Maria, a girl he befriended on the Space Colony Ark, to give humanity a chance to be happy. He once blamed humanity for Maria's death, but came to realize that Maria wanted the people on Earth to live happy lives.

Shadow the Hedgehog
