Silver
Basic
Name: Silver the Hedgehog
Nickname(s): Undefined.
Gender: Male
Species: African pygmy hedgehog (leucistic)
Age: 14 (presumably 15 as of Generations)
Birthplace: ~ 200 years into the future; unknown location. (assumed to be somewhere near or in future Station Square).
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Personality: Silver has an incredible sense of justice and conviction. He carries with him the obligation to hold the world on his shoulders, and this obligation is more than often his motivation, causing him to traverse to the past time and time again. His conviction can cause him the most trouble, however, as he will often find himself doing whatever it takes to accomplish his goals, which makes him stray from his good intentions quite easily. His tunnel vision can cause him to forget his moral code, so he can easily end up accidentally hurting innocent people as a means to his end.
Silver can be described as a white knight, and will stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. His age gets the best of him most of the time, though, so he can be very trusting, which causes him to be tricked very easily. He shows his emotions very strongly, and so he can make allies as easily as he can make enemies if it suits his needs.
Although shown to be very caring, his emotions can get the best of him if he feels someone is trying to get in his way. He can be brash, rude, and downright prickly if someone rubs him the wrong way. He has a short temper and can appear bossy to those who cross him, so his attitude will often start fights. Despite the serious demeanor he tries to put up, his age shines through with his cockiness and naivety.
When Silver is not focused on a task, he is very friendly and is great company to be around. With the blinders of a mission at hand removed, he will even get along perfectly fine with others even if they had been his enemy just days ago. He can be quite insecure and can easily crumble under his own responsibility if not given proper support. Despite this, he is an optimist and will be the most likely to see a silver lining in a bad situation.
Extra: Head canons: At the risk of losing a few points for this, I'm a believer in that Silver is Shadow's offspring in some way, whether it be from an unknown mother or someone's own brand of genetic experimentation, though I imagine that neither knows that they're related. Silver loves cold foods and hates spicy food; his ideal snacks would be ice cream or cold watermelon. He is not as good at balling up as most other hedgehogs are due to his reliance on his psychokinesis, so he often must be reminded to do it if the situation calls on the need. Silver occasionally suffers cases of migraines as a side effect of his abilities, and has the potential to be immobilized by it. He is sometimes plagued by vision-like nightmares or night terrors. He is a terrible liar, and often wears his emotion on his sleeves in the form of easily readable bristling or glowing.
Relationships
Family: (hinting at Shadow as father)
Relationship: Single
Friends:
Espio the Chameleon: Temporary partners at one point and on very good terms with each other.
Shadow the Hedgehog: Very similar to each other, so they get along as much as Shadow can get along with anyone, even being able to interact fairly casually with each other despite their demeanors, so long as their not competing on something or have opposing goals.
Sonic the Hedgehog: On shaky ground with each other due to conflicting personalities, but can still converse on a friendly level given the right circumstance.
Knuckles the Echidna: Have somewhat of a rivalry, but often don't much pay attention to each other.
Amy Rose: On neutral grounds.
Blaze the Cat: Have only worked together briefly, so they don't much pay much heed to one another, though they do work well together.
Miles "Tails" Prower: Has only come in contact with him briefly; on neutral ground, though Tails is usually considered a minor nuisance on the times they have interacted.
Enemies/Rivals:
Knuckles the Echidna: Silver is one of the few characters to challenge Knuckles to a fight, but don't pay much attention to each other if they don't have to.
Sonic the Hedgehog: Often butt heads and sometimes have trouble with positive interaction.
Shadow The Hedgehog: Will often have power scuffles with each other mostly over opposing goals.
Eggman Nega: Arch enemy and the most prominent villain of his timeline.
Doctor Eggman: Can't even get away from the Eggman in the past. Will stop him like any other villain if he causes trouble, but can just as easily work with him.
Metal Sonic: Considers him obsolete and unimpressive. Standard enemy.
Fighting
Strength: 5/10
Speed: 8/10
Agility: 9/10
Stamina: 7/10
Intelligence: 8/10
Speed: 8/10
Agility: 9/10
Stamina: 7/10
Intelligence: 8/10
Low physical strength, but high mental strength. Average foot speed, but good air speed. High agility/skill. Slightly above average stamina. High intelligence, but it's more of a technical problem-solving intelligence than it is a real life/social intelligence. Overall very well rounded. (Based as best as I could translate onto this template from his Olympics stats chart.)
Specialty: Very skill oriented and can learn abilities quickly just by watching, if they can be learned at all.
Special Attacks:
Psychokinesis: Can manipulate physical things with his mind with great effect. This energy can materialize as a blast to stun and damage enemies. Can act as a paralysis when focused on the bodies of others.
Telekinesis: A type of mental altering effect that can confuse and disorient enemies, so it is similar to a mind control effect. Has also shown the potential for psychic communication, but rarely uses it.
ESP: Can sense impending danger, though to a minor effect. His mental prowess also makes him highly resistant to mind control.
Psychic Knife: A potent concentration of psychic energy that can slice.
Chaos Control: Can induce chaos control, made very potent with chaos emeralds.
Teleportation: Could be a form of chaos control, although it can be used without a chaos emerald.
Super Transformation: Can initiate a super transformation with the use of seven chaos emeralds.
Weaknesses:
As stated before, Silver is very naive and trusting, so it's no great feat to trick him, even to the point of getting him to do your dirty work. He has bouts of simple-mindedness that causes him to not be as calculative as he can be and can get him into a lot of trouble, and considering his short temper he can be led on or distracted easily.
As powerful as his abilities seem, they consume a lot of energy, so those who have high stamina or can wait him out can cripple him quickly. His psychokinesis requires focus, so if his focus can be broken a lot of his attacks can be completely bypassed. If Silver becomes fatigued from overexertion of his abilities, or becomes unable to focus, chances against him become very high.
Why would you like to play as this character?: To tell the truth, even with playing the Game since almost the beginning, Silver is my favorite character hands down. You could imagine how lonely it could get being one of the handful of Silver's biggest fans. However! I have not had a chance to roleplay him, and I want to write him in a way where people could best appreciate his character, even with as limited his appearances are. It's a daunting task to not only roleplay a character with a confusingly established personality, but also one where it's incredibly difficult to place him into a storyline that does not exist in his timeline, but the kid could sure use some love, even if it's not in the games.
How long have you been roleplaying?: Close to, or even maybe a decade. It sure is hard to remember, but you get the idea, yeah?
Give an example of your roleplaying skill:
Written in the perspective of a ruined future that will never be.
An almost angelic figure sweeps across a ruined city scape, the prominent white and teal coloration of the body contrasting against the hellfires it brushes against. The seemingly wandering soul of this ghost town making the landscape feel even more lonely, though upon a closer look it moved with a purpose. This was no spirit, however, though this poor bastard looked as if he might as well be. The hedgehog coughed through the blanket of blinding smoke that slapped his face, causing his flight to stammer.
"I am really not in the mood today." he muttered as if the plume of smoke had just nagged him. He knew that normally where there was smoke, there was a beast of an inferno about to stir trouble, and I say beast literally. With a tired expression and his one companion nowhere in sight, he debated on turning a blind eye to what his spine was warning to him. He swiveled around to perhaps find shelter.
Don't get the wrong idea, Silver was not one to run away from this particular fight often, but his chapped lips from dehydration and blurred vision from the smoke and ash that beat upon him told him that he was in no condition to fight, even with his unrelenting conviction that tore at his mind. He landed within a building he deemed to be least afflicted, its floors ravaged in dirt that he relished in. The shade had made the dirt cool; a salvation for the overheated hedgehog who rolled in it like a delirious dust-bathing.
He heard a window crash and stiffened, his white quills now tarnished with dirt as well as ash. The hedgehog slowly looked over his shoulder, nervous about the silence that followed the crash. What he saw was a cat with eyes that smouldered as much as the ambiance, though they softened into a mild surprise at what they saw. His relief did not stop his embarrassment of being seen almost face-down in a pile of dirt, the signs of him having rolled around in it evident.
"Ah, h-hey Blaze.." he sputtered.
That is, if you're comfortable telling. If not, it's understandable.
I've only been living in Houston for about 8 or 9 months, so I don't know much about it. XD I've never lived in a city before, so it's a bit too intimidating for me. I just go to school and come back to my apartment. XD
