Up for adoption because I'm leaving. Forum RPing isn't my style.
Name:: Shadow the Hedgehog
Age:: Over 50, but physically he's about 16, like Sonic. However, he doesn't age.
Gender:: Male
Species:: Hedgehog/Ultimate Lifeform
Crushes/Marital Status:: None currently, though he probably loved Maria Robotnik
Power/Ability:: The air skates he wears allow him to almost match Sonic in speed. He is also able to use a myriad of powers directly related to the Chaos Emeralds. He has been known to use Chaos Control while not in possession of a Chaos Emerald, however. In addition, he is an Ultimate Immortal, meaning that he never ages physically nor spiritually, and cannot be killed. To date, Shadow has shown the greatest number of Chaos abilities, which I'll list below. In addition, he has shown himself to be very proficient in both armed and unarmed combat. He also shares several abilities with Sonic, having access to both the Homing Attack and the Spin Dash. He can also perform the Black Tornado attack, which involves him spinning around his enemies in midair, creating a vortex of black wind. He has also proved himself to be pretty good at driving almost any vehicle.
Chaos Control: Warps time and space to teleport himself and/or others or freeze/slow time itself.
Chaos Blast: Unleashes a great shockwave of power, severely damaging everything around him.
Chaos Rift: Warps space so badly it actually causes a rift, banishing his enemy into oblivion. It has been known to miss its target.
Chaos Magic: Shadow snaps his fingers, creating a vortex of energy to damage his enemies.
Wandering Chaos: Shadow creates a sphere of Chaos energy that follows him and rams itself into enemies to cause damage.
Chaos Burst: Similar to Chaos Blast, but having a smaller damage radius, this attack involves Shadow evading by transporting himself into a hidden space-time area, then reappearing with the shockwave from Chaos Burst to cause damage.
Chaos Nightmare: Shadow focuses energy into his hands, then blasts it outward in a huge maelstrom of power that obliterates everything it touches...except Shadow himself, of course. This attack is so powerful, it's suspected that only another Ultimate Immortal could withstand it.
Chaos Lance: A more powerful version of the Chaos Spear, and red in color rather than gold. One of these, by the user's will, can be split into hundreds more without losing any power at all. In fact, each strike hits for exactly the same amount of power that a single Chaos Lance would.
Chaos Boost: Shadow glows red, becoming temporarily invincible and invulnerable. His Chaos powers also grow in...well, power.
Chaos Snap: Shadow teleports instantly to an enemy, performs an aerial kick, then teleports to the next enemy to repeat. He can do this up to 8 times without landing, having been training since his last adventure.
Chaos Attack: Shadow performs melee attacks directly after his Homing Attack to inflict additional damage. Having been training, these attacks now hit harder, due to Shadow energizing his fists and feet with Chaos energy during the Chaos Attack sequence.
Chaos Regeneration: The only healing ability Shadow possesses, this allows him to heal the injuries of either himself or another being. However, it's a very limited ability, having about the same power as a simple Cure spell (Final Fantasy reference).
Chaos Persuasion: Shadow is now able to manipulate the thoughts of others. However, having only just learned this power, it is very limited. He can only hold control over one person at a time, only for about ten seconds, and he can only issue simple commands. Those with a strong will, such as Genesis or Sonic, are immune.
Strengths:: He will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, regardless of the impact it may have on others. However, he can be compassionate, due to his promise to Maria. He wishes for the overall good of mankind, etc., but will still side with evil if it means achieving his ultimate goals.
Weaknesses:: None, really, except possibly that he's rather cocky. He no longer suffers from amnesia, nor mental instability. However, he can still be very violent.
Alignment:: Neutral
Appearance:: He looks like the stereotypical Mobian hedgehog, black with red streaks through his hair. He has ruby red eyes, and a white tuft of fur on his chest that is somewhat "V" shaped. His spikes, or perhaps "hairdo," seem to point upwards in a demonic fashion. He wears white gloves with detachable gold rings for cuffs. His boots, also having detachable gold rings around the ankle area, are mainly white with black and red highlights, just like his gloves.
Personality:: He mainly keeps to himself, showing himself to be cocky in a fight, but otherwise very reserved. He prefers being alone and working towards his goals on his own, seemingly resenting all others. He is honest, even with his threats. He is also soft-spoken, giving his overall tone a quiet, intimidating feel. He sometimes swears, but nothing truly serious. However, he has slowly become a little more friendly, even gentlemanly, in recent times.
History:: Shadow the Hedgehog was created as "Project Shadow" by Prof. Gerald Robotnik, Eggman's grandfather, in an effort to find a cure for his granddaughter's soon-to-be fatal illness. It was named such because such a miracle was like a fleeting shadow, as it would require immortality. Project Shadow was completed by using Black Doom's DNA in combination with the DNA Prof. Gerald had already created, in exchange for giving the Chaos Emeralds to Black Doom at a later time. This promise, however, Gerald quickly found to be a mistake. Genius as he was, luckily, he planned for it. Shadow quickly became very good friends with Maria, Prof. Gerald's granddaughter, and would readily do anything at all for her. However, G.U.N. quickly assaulted the Space Colony ARK, where Project Shadow was just completed, and killed everyone present, Maria included. Before dying, Maria was able to send Shadow down to the planet, where G.U.N. quickly found and sealed him. 50 years later, the hapless Dr. Eggman released Shadow. In return, and suffering from amnesia, Shadow promised Eggman domination over the world using the ARK's deadliest weapon other than himself: the Eclipse Cannon. By powering it with all 7 Chaos Emeralds, Eggman would be able to rule as he saw fit, under threat of being blown sky high. Accepting this offer, and soon teaming up with Rouge the Bat, the three of them attempted to take over the world. Shadow's intentions, however, were simply to destroy the world, believing his promise to Maria was one of revenge. Eventually, enough of his memory returned, thanks in part to Amy Rose, for him to realize he had not promised revenge, but a chance for mankind to be happy. He quickly switched sides and helped Sonic defeat the Final Hazard. He fell to the planet again, his amnesia returning upon impact, but alive. Eggman found him, and used him to create a series of Shadow androids, while sealing the real Shadow in a stasis tube. Eventually, Rouge freed him, and after Team Super Sonic defeated Metal Overlord, he and E-123 Omega were seen taking care of Metal Sonic. Soon after that, Black Doom returned to the planet and demanded the Chaos Emeralds from Shadow. Shadow went on a journey to collect the Chaos Emeralds, since Black Doom had hinted at a promise made in the past. However, after having learned of his past, Shadow just put it behind him after defeating Devil Doom as Super Shadow. He has been involved in several other adventures alongside Sonic, Sonic's friends, and Sonic's rivals. Sonic himself is also considered by Shadow to be his own rival.
