CHARACTER INFORMATION


Name: Sonic (King Sonic/Arthur if Camelot citizens insist; he'd rather they didn't)
(On a few sites, Sonic is given the name "Ogilvie Maurice." In the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics, Ogilvie Maurice was Sonic's true first and last name for some time, though that seems to have ceased, especially with the recent "reboot". At any rate, the name Ogilvie Maurice is by no means canon concerning the video game storyline - his name is just Sonic in the games.)

Nicknames: SegaSonic, The Blue Blur, The Fastest Thing Alive, Blue Wind (by Soleannanian citizens), Mr. Monster Guy (Chip reserved that for the Werehog), Big Blue, Knave the Hedgehog (Caliburn stuck him with this "title" for a while)
(Although known primarily as The Fastest Thing Alive in the SatAM TV series, watch the Sonic Riders intro - Jet [mockingly] calls Sonic 'The Fastest Thing Alive.')

Race: Hedgehog
(Speculation: If you choose to get technical, Sonic is most likely an African Pygmy Hedgehog, since that is the most common, well-known species of hedgehog, not to mention is the species of hedgehog shown in the US Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle commercials.)

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Date of Birth: June 23
(Sonic's DOB is generally confirmed as June 23rd, 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, June 23rd would be the most ideal choice.)

Birthplace: ~ Christmas Island (it's not indisputably confirmed that this is Sonic's birthplace, but is most likely canonical since this did after all come from a very old, videogame-based storyline arc - if this is not true, good speculation would tell you that his birthplace is most likely South Island)
(Speculation: Sonic's birthplace is commonly confirmed as South Island. As convincing as that may be, it's probably false. The original game storyline prior to Sonic the Hedgehog 1's release says Sonic's birthplace is the small Christmas Island, but Sonic usually hung out at South Island, which is what could have possibly sparked that misinterpretation. His birthplace is also commonly referred to as Mobotropolis. This is canonical if they are making profiles for the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic's portrayal of Sonic. But in the games, there is no Mobotropolis.)

Height: 100 centimeters (3 feet and 3 inches or exactly 3.28 feet)
(125 centimeters/4 feet 1 inches in Werehog form)

Weight: 35 kilograms (77.2 pounds)
(60 kilograms/132.2 pounds in Werehog form)

Ability Type: Speed (Possibly Power in Werehog form)

Alignment: Hero



Personality Details:

Sonic the Hedgehog is like the wind: unpredictable, always at some other place and never congregating in one location for too long. Sonic is a carefree, easy going, and laidback young hedgehog who likes nothing more than to just venture across the endless boundaries of the world and enjoy his prized freedom. This is probably why he isn't too interested in dating.

With an attitude just as fickle as his urge for adventure, as well as an ego as big as South Island, Sonic is sassy and quick-witted with a passion for just enjoying life, leaving the past behind, and to always move forward without regrets. He's smooth, cool and popular, and tends to let this get to his head from time to time, possessing a somewhat narcissistic tongue. This behavior makes him look like an ass sometimes, whether he realizes it or not. However, he is quite a gentleman and has good manners and an air of politeness. Well...when he feels like it, anyway. He usually just sees such forms of etiquette as a major bore.

This is because he can't stand being restricted by certain standards if he can't help it. Sonic lives and dies by his own rules rather than the standards of those around him or even for the sake of heroism, living his life exactly how he wants to live it, even if it makes him look bad. However, when Sonic gets riled up over injustice, oppression, or the despair and sadness of another (an easy feat, since he hates evil in all forms), his vague sense of heroism kicks into overtime and the results could be devastating since his temper can, at times, be just as bad and as short as his patience. A rarely seen trait otherwise, this is most noticeable when he is up against another nefarious scheme for global conquest from his arch nemesis, Dr. Robotnik.

As a Werehog, Sonic's personality remains unchanged for the most part, but, as one may no doubt assume, his temper is even worse, making him more prone to feral outbursts of rage, promising doom for his foes. The fact that his speed, looks and overall cool factor is hampered by this transformation doesn't help his stress, either. You would think that he would be driven mad by this form, but that is not the case. Sonic's heart and will is simply too damn strong to be affected by something like that.

It is this factor that makes him near impossible to predict. No matter what happens or who looks down on him, he will never give up. He keeps going, keeps pushing on. Whatever it takes to do what he's gotta do.

Overall, Sonic just does whatever the hell he wants, when he wants and however he wants to do it. Screw anyone who has a problem with it.

Personal Information:

Family: He thinks of Miles "Tails" Prower as his little brother. His parentage is unknown.

Greatest Friend(s): Himself, Amy Rose, Knuckles the Echidna, Cream the Rabbit & Cheese and Blaze the Cat.

Other Friend(s): Big the Cat, Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon, Charmy Bee, Mighty the Armadillo, Ray the Flying Squirrel, Shadow the Hedgehog, Silver the Hedgehog (when the guy's actually friendly), Shahra the Genie of the Ring, Marine the Raccoon, Shade the Echidna, Chip, Professor Pickle, Merlina the Wizard, the Knights of Camelot's Round Table and the Wisp race of aliens.

Love Interest(s): None, regardless of what Amy Rose tells herself.

Rival(s): Shadow the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna (however, they're usually on good terms), Metal Sonic, Jet the Hawk (as far as Extreme Gear is concerned), and Silver the Hedgehog (to a point).

Foe(s): Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, Fang the Sniper, Metal Sonic, Eggman Nega and Infinite.

Likes: His freedom and independence, the beauty of nature, but most of all: running or anything to do with speed. For a clue on Sonic's environmental tastes, he seems to like tropical and highly industrialized cities and the ocean (as long as he isn't in it) -- anything with movement, basically. He also enjoys any fair opportunity to playfully tease his friends or make himself look good.

Main Dislikes: The word 'slow,' oppression, injustice, sadness (especially if it's one-sided), boring theme parks, seeing others cry, anything that involves water (a bath or shower is as far as he'll go when not chasing down Eggman or participating in sports), and being subjected to immobility or being cooped up somewhere for prolonged periods. DON'T put him on a cruise ship or anything like that, or maniacal and stir-crazy behavior may begin to manifest itself in him since Sonic can't stand prolonged separation from large and open places to run.

Other Dislikes: He hates losing, or waiting on anyone or anything. Amy's Piko Piko hammer and being glomped are also annoyances. Surprisingly, he isn't very fond of racing, either. As far as he's concerned, he's the fastest, so why bother? (That changes if Eggman's involved or his reputation is on the line.) He also dislikes the use of firearms ("I wouldn't be caught dead using those things"). Lastly, Sonic hates being referred to by formal titles such as "Mr." or "Master", despite Cream's insistence of the former.

Hobbies: Venturing across the globe to random regions, music, sitting back and chilling/dozing anywhere whether it be at a beach or on a tree branch (Sonic is surprisingly lazy when given the chance), and books (Considering he endeavored to save the Arabian Nights with one of his three wishes from Erazor Djinn).

Favorite Food(s): Chili dogs.
(Sonic's fondness for Chili Dogs became canon upon the introduction of the official Sonic Advance 3 Strategy Guide [the Japanese one] when it mentioned Sonic's love for Chili Dogs. For those who doubt that, watch the opening scene to Sonic and the Black Knight; He's got one dog in each hand, eats one with great relish and expresses disappointment at losing the other.)

Favorite Color(s): It might be red since his shoes are red, along with the Cyclone car he drove in the Sonic Drift games, and of course, the Tornado 1 is red. Though, it could be blue as well, considering his ego.

Favorite Music Genre(s): Rock, Punk, Techno


Occupation:
Unemployed. Hero of the world isn't really a compensating position, anyway.

Place of Residence: The world is Sonic's home. However, he has a homely place seen in the first scene of Sonic and the Secret Rings. Nothing more is known about this place though. Indeed, it's not indisputably confirmed that it is his home at all, but it's not very likely a drifter like Sonic would take up a permanent residence...at least, not at his current age.

I don't think the aquaphobia is canon, he never showed it in any canon game, he's even water biked without hesitation, and w/o a life jacket (Sonic Rush Adventure). He just can't swim.
