Characters
Sonic the Hedgehog
The world's fastest supersonic hedgehog! Always looking for adventure and excitement, Sonic uses his fleet feet to travel the world with a fly-by-the-handle daredevil approach, always trusting his abilities to see him safely home. While he's an easy-going free spirit, he has zero tolerance for wrong-doing and taking advantage of others and makes it his personal mission to help those who can't help themselves.
Knuckles the Echidna
A long-standing compatriot to Sonic, Knuckles is nonetheless an incredible hothead, often letting his temper get the better of his judgment. He's often duped by Eggman and summarily tormented by Sonic as a result. As the last living descendant of his clan, his duty is to be the guardian of the Master Emerald, a mystical, semi-sentient gemstone thrice as large as any man whose latent power keeps the entire landmass of Angel Island afloat in the sky. He's a skilled treasure hunter, possesses the capacity to glide through the air and is a powerful martial artist capable of crushing boulders with his bare fists.
Miles "Tails" Prower
A two-tailed fox that is like a little brother to Sonic. They first met when Tails was very young and was looking for a friend. They've been together ever since. Tails idolizes Sonic and has even managed to master Sonic's signature spin attack so he would be able to adventure alongside of him without being a hindrance, though the boy's own signature talent is flight, which he achieves by winding his twin tails up and letting them spin like a helicopter rotor. He's also incredibly brilliant, possibly as skilled with machines as Dr. Eggman, and can't resist tinkering with any device he encounters.
Shadow the Hedgehog
The ultimate lifeform created by Dr. Gerald Robotnik fifty years ago. His similarity to Sonic once caused his blue counterpart to be arrested by the military, but Shadow has since reformed his ways. While not capable of Sonic's sheer speed, he can reach a close approximation by utilizing the thrusters built into his shoes and skating across the ground. His innate command of Chaos energies make him a formidable opponent and nigh-untouchable when in possession of one of the legendary Chaos Emeralds, but the limits of his artificial existence prevent him from unleashing the full potential of such powers.
Rouge the Bat
An infamous catburglar who doubles as a spy for the paramilitary group G.U.N. She loves rare gems more than anything and especially the rare and glowing Chaos Emeralds, though she has no real use for them beyond her collection. While she can see with her eyes, unlike a normal bat, her ears are still super-sensitive to noise. She is an expert at infiltrating high-level security and her kicks are so precise that they can slice bulletproof glass and thick steel doors. She has a close friendship with Shadow and is perhaps the only person the black hedgehog trusts implicitly.
E-123 Omega
The last and most powerful of Dr. Eggman's E-Series line of robots, also capable of original thought. It has turned against its creator, refusing to be used as a tool, and determined its primary objective to be his destruction. It was originally to this end that it allied itself with Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge the Bat, but through them, it has come to understand a sense of friendship. Its flat, synthesized voice hides a full array of emotional capacity and it packs enough firepower - gatling arm cannons, high-yield explosive ordinances and energy-based weapons systems - to rival a small army.
Amy Rose
The four years difference in age between Amy and Sonic don't deter this girl from pursuing her crush. Originally a relatively helpless damsel in distress, her quest to capture Sonic's heart has seen her grow into a respectably skilled adventurer, though not to the level of Sonic and friends. She can deal heavy blows with her oversized Pico Pico Hammer and has even picked up a few tricks from others, most notably Espio the Chameleon and his ability to render himself temporarily invisible, though she's still relatively slow and fragile. Just don't get her riled up. Her favorite things in life include Sonic, shopping, Sonic, cooking, shopping with Sonic, Sonic, cooking for Sonic, hanging out with her friends, hanging out with Sonic and Sonic.
Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik
With an IQ topping out the charts at 300 points, his genius is unparalleled and his focus is on robotics. The only thing that rivals his incredible intelligence is his massive megalomania and he has made it his goal to use his creations to conquer the whole world under his own Eggman Empire. As crafty and sneaky as he is, however, he is constantly thwarted by Sonic and he sees the hedgehog as his ultimate opponent, sometimes even holding off until he arrives just for the opportunity to clash with him. Despite this, he has shown the potential to be good-natured on occasion and has a soft spot for being buttered up.
Silver Sonic
The original prototype Sonic robot built by Dr. Eggman to mimic the abilities of his nemesis. It possesses extremely limited processing capability, no emotional subroutines and extremely limited combat response variation capacity. By transforming itself into a spiked ball, it could do a pale imitation of Sonic's signature spin attack, but a delay in returning to its standard configuration left it vulnerable. It is also capable of extending its limbs to grab or deal blows.
Power Metal
Another prototype unit forming the bridge between Silver Sonic and Metal Sonic, but still insufficient. It boasted greater physical power, limited flight capability and greater responsiveness, but still lacks Metal Sonic's sentience and speed. It did display the capacity to channel, in extremely limited amounts for extremely limited periods of time, the energy of the Master Emerald of Angel Island, but was defeated by Knuckles in between these bursts of power.
Metal Sonic
The ultimate robot created by Dr. Eggman, if anything Metal Sonic is a little too perfect. Possessing sentience and a cunning, cold calculation, he is a natural killer, and though he has a slight mental bond to Sonic, he seeks to eliminate him with extreme prejudice and is driven by a desire to prove himself the greater of the two, and thus the only one worthy to use the name.

Fun OOC Stuff
Because there are eight possible characters and not all may be filled, each person is allowed two canon characters if they so choose. It isn't necessary to pick two, but you can choose no more than that. If we get enough, then only your first pick will be valid and the others will be available to new applicants, provided they pass the questionnaires acceptably. The choices will only be from Sonic through Eggman. I have to reserve the robots for plot reasons. Because only canon characters are available, I'll be giving a ten-question sheet for each character to test the knowledge of the player concerning the characters they wish to play. Simply PM me a copy of the questions with your answers filled in and I'll let you know if you got enough right to play them. Be quick for the characters you want! It's first come, first serve, and as soon as a character is successfully taken, I'll mark who got it and fill in the appropriate answers to their questionnaire.
