Canon Resource Link: There isn’t much information, but here are a few basic links…
FUS WIKIWikipedia Article And because of the lack of information I’ll also provide a basic outline of his personality…
Sonic of the SatAM series is a bit different from his game counterpart. Rather than being a laid back guy looking for adventure, this Sonic is, to put it bluntly, a nineties hero. He’s impatient, egotistical, uses lots of slang and corny catchphrases, and doesn’t always use his head. At times he may come across as a bit stubborn and vain, opting not to think things through half the time, which leads to a lot of arguments between himself and Princess Sally, his best friend and ‘main squeeze’, as he so eloquently put it in the episode Super Sonic. Of course, this doesn’t mean that Sonic’s a bad guy; on the contrary, he truly does care for his friends and fellow Freedom Fighters and won’t hesitate to lend them a hand. He just has an odd way of showing it sometimes, but even then there are moments where he’s genuinely worried or perhaps even sweet. In fact, in two episodes he actually cries, which is something that can’t exactly be said for his counterparts in the other continuities. Does this make him mopey? No, but it shows that even someone with “Hedgehog Perfection” has a soft side. …sometimes.
What your character can offer: What can Sonic offer? Well, as his name states, Sonic is capable of running at the speed of sound, probably even a little bit faster. Indeed, speed is this hedgehog’s forte, but running isn’t all he can do. As well as being quick on his feed Sonic can also use his speed and the quills on his head and back to his advantage in ways such as cutting through metal and digging into the ground. The Triple-S spin, as he calls it, is his trademark move in the series, and it definitely comes in handy.
Now, Sonic isn’t the most intelligent at first glance, being a cocky, impatient, and generally impulsive character, but as a Freedom Fighter he at least knows the basics of survival. This is shown in the episode “Ghost Busted” when he takes Tails out on a camping trip to teach him important skills, so even if he’s no genius he at least has the basic know-how.
Other than that he’s completely ‘normal’. Sonic isn’t immortal, doesn’t have any magic weapons, or anything like that. However, one thing I would like to point out is that, unlike his video game counterpart, SatAM Sonic can swim. He also appears to have some musical ability.
What items will they be bringing with them? Sonic doesn’t have much to carry, really. Just a backpack, his wrist-watch, and that just about covers it.
Third-Person Sample: Dark, gloomy, and damp. There would be the first words to come to mind if one were to gaze upon the empty streets of Robotropolis. For as far as the eye could see there was no sign of any life. No plants, not even bits of grass poking up from the pavement here and there, and no animals, bar perhaps the occasional rats and insects here and there. The entire city was, in truth, lifeless, a cryptic image of a once glorious city, now a polluted wasteland ruled by machines and the twisted madman controlling them.
Yet within an instant a sudden flash of color appeared… a literally blue blur, darting down the streets, past deserted alleys, ruined buildings, and trash. Trailing behind were members of a small group of Freedom Fighters, and though they weren’t quite as fast, they still made the effort to keep up.
As for the blue blur? All too quickly did it stop moving-or rather, he, for the blur was far from a thing, but a young hedgehog, clad in red sneakers and a musty old backpack. A smug grin lined his face as he lifted an arm, signaling the others to continue behind him. Not too far from where the hedgehog stood were three robots, patrolling the general area. Did this dampen the day for the hedgehog? Never, for Sonic was used to these missions, and in no time at all, he was running once again.
“Yo, SWATbutts!” he shouted, running circles around the machines. “You ain’t lookin’ so hot today!”
The only response from the machines was a low, mechanical “Hedgehog, priority one!” as they attempted to grab at the speedy rodent, only to fail.
Occasionally Sonic would stop, give a yawn, and just stand still, but before the robots could come close to detaining him he would be revving up once more, and in no time at all the SWATbots were defeated, short-circuited from the tedious process. Satisfied, Sonic waited for the others to catch up with him. Yep, it was just another one of those days.
First-Person Sample: Talk about cuttin’ it mondo close! Looks like ol’ ‘Buttnik’s pumped up security back in Robotropolis. I could’ve sworn I bumped into twice as many SWATbutts as usual! Uncool, man… no, scratch that, way past uncool.
Not that it was any problem for yours truly. I mean, come on, even that one time when Lazaar took my speed I was still alive and kickin’! Still, things could get ugly real fast. If that ol’ Doomsday plan of his works we’re done for! Good thing me ‘n the Freedom Fighters are around. There’s no way we’re goin’ down without a fight!
