CHARACTER INFORMATION


Name: Knuckles

Nicknames: Knucklehead (Sonic usually calls him this when Knuckles goofs up)
(Knuckles is commonly given the nicknames "Knux," "Rad Red," "Fists of Fury," and "Knuckie." These nicknames are not canonical to the game storyline. The first three are derived from the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics and the fourth was a pet name given to him by Rouge in the English dub of Sonic X. In the games, he has no other known nicknames.)

Race: Echidna
(If you choose to get technical, Knuckles is more than likely a Short-nosed Echidna.)

Gender: Male

Age: 16 years of age

Date of Birth: Unknown
(Knuckles' DOB is generally confirmed as February 2nd, since that was the release of his first video game. However, it is not canon to the video game storyline, as his true DOB is unknown. If you find it necessary to add his DOB nonetheless, February 2nd would be the most ideal choice.)

Birthplace: Angel Island

Height: 110 centimeters (3 feet, and 6 inches)

Weight: 40 kilograms (88 pounds)

Ability Type: Power

Alignment: Hero


Personality Details:


Like how Sonic embodies the wind, Knuckles is like the mountain: stern, and unmovable. As long as Knuckles could remember, he was just sitting there protecting the Master Emerald at the shrine on Angel Island. This sworn duty, which he has made a well-defended allegiance to, has caused Knuckles to grow into a rather antisocial, reclusive individual; he is a loner by nature. He is very uncaring, coldly honest, egotistical, wild-tempered, and generally hard to get along with, most of the time.

It is often claimed that Knuckles is very untrusting, but this is by no means plausible since Knuckles' lack of social ingenuity has caused him to be incredibly gullible on the other side. He is commonly tricked by Eggman into thinking foolish things such as Sonic wanting to take the Master Emerald. Many times, this has caused Knuckles to join Eggman's side and battle Sonic, which Sonic considers fun. Sonic sees Knuckles' hot temper as no more than a cute little button to push and exploit for his own amusement, since the hedgehog seems to draw entertainment out of pissing Knuckles off. Sonic has a temper as well, though, and won't hesitate to turn "playtime" into a serious fight.

You can't really fault him for that, though, since deep down, Knuckles holds a steadfast belief that there's good in everyone, which is why he's given Eggman so many "second chances". At any rate, Knuckles always finds out that he's been duped in time and the consequences are a force to be reckoned indeed. That, and if the Master Emerald is at all endangered, Knuckles' temper will rise to a fever pitch and will stop at nothing to punish the perpetrator. In spite of Sonic & Knuckles' rivalry and the constant skirmishes they get themselves into, in the end, they eventually join forces, and when those two fight together, it is one of the most imposing forces one could ever have the misfortune of being put up against, and ultimately they make amends. Knuckles, however, will always envy Sonic's insouciant and laidback lifestyle — that is probably what's responsible for his subtle inhospitable nature towards the hedgehog.

Recently, Knuckles has found another rival in Rouge the Bat. Even though he is gullible, he always tries to keep his guard up when around her, refusing to fall for (nearly) anything she tries to pull. Plus, while he does a very good job of hiding it, he does have feelings for Rouge. Whether or not he'll do something about it remains to be seen.

In spite of his flaws, Knuckles is a good guy and a loyal friend, once you get to know him. Just don't piss him off. EVER.

Personal Information:

Family: Tikal the Echidna and Pachacamac (unconfirmed, but possible; they are from the same clan)

Greatest Friend(s): Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, and Amy Rose.

Other Friend(s): Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon, Charmy Bee, Cream the Rabbit & Cheese, Shadow the Hedgehog, Blaze the Cat and Silver the Hedgehog.

Love Interest(s): Rouge the Bat (he's too stubborn to admit this, however).

Rival(s): Sonic the Hedgehog (it's a rather friendly rivalry, since they are usually on good terms), Rouge the Bat and Storm the Albatross (as far as Extreme Gear is concerned).

Foe(s): Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, Eggman Nega and anyone else who threatens Angel Island's safety or is pissing him off at that particular moment.

Likes: Being alone and guarding the Master Emerald, practicing his fighting skills, treasure hunting, hanging out with his friends - when and if the chance arises - and any opportunity he has at putting Sonic in his place (verbally or otherwise).

Main Dislikes: Knuckles dislikes a LOT of things. Here are a few particulars: heavy sunlight (any kind of bright lights, actually), hi-tech objects or gadgets (mostly because he's uninclined), industrialized or crowded cities and places of the like (basically, unnatural areas) and being made to blush due to Rouge's flirting.

Other Dislikes: He obviously dislikes being tricked although he can't help but still be gullible, he HATES peer pressure, and of course, anybody who so much as looks at the Master Emerald in a greedy way.

Favorite Food(s): Fruit: grapes are his personal favorite.

Favorite Color(s): Unknown. Could be red or green, since that color is commonly associated with Knuckles' red color, promotionally. It sure as heck ain't blue.

Favorite Music Genre(s): New Age, Hip Hop, Rhythm & Blues, Rock

Occupation: Unemployed. Although he isn't paid or anything, his duty is to protect the Master Emerald.

Place of Residence: The Master Emerald Shrine on Angel Island.
