Blaze the Cat (ブレイズ・ザ・キャット Bureizu za Kyatto) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is an anthropomorphic cat from earth in the Sol Dimension, where she is both the imperial princess of the Sol Empire who has the right to inherit the throne, and the appointed guardian of the Sol Emeralds, a role similar to that of Sonic and Knuckles combined and that of a shrine maiden, although she appears too busy for such an admirable position as the latter. Despite being in a position of considerable power, Blaze tends to escape her castle and act rather freely and independently. As her name suggests, she is gifted with the power of pyrokinesis, which lets her create and manipulate fire in any way she pleases. Possibly due to her sheer strength, Blaze often acts without her royal guards to protect her.

Blaze is normally calm and elegant but tends to conceal her true feelings. Devoted to her position, she sometimes gets herself bogged down by her own strict discipline, which made her anti-social, shy, and unfamiliar with the concept of having friends. After spending time with Amy and Cream and meeting Sonic however, Blaze has discovered the true meaning of friendship, allowing her to accomplish tasks for the good of her people and the innocent which she could never do alone. Despite the initial boundaries separating them, Blaze now travels freely between her dimension and Sonic's to visit her friends.

Blaze

Blaze was designed as a character who was equivalent yet an alternate version of Sonic's character. An undated concept of Blaze which was very similar to her final design except her eyes were rounder and her ponytail was turned front instead of back, she was supposed to wear clothing similar to the Arabs since she was wearing a shalwar and a midriff top.

According to the early character spreadsheet files of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) it is mentioned that Blaze wears a cape to hide her flames because she was teased. However, the games have never shown her wearing a cape besides her purple outfit. This was later clarified by the concept artwork gallery in the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations where one of the pictures showed Blaze wearing a white and pink laced cape.

An ex-member of Sega on Sonic Wrecks released concept art of Blaze which was said to be done in early 2005 in PowerPoint documents. Her design was very similar to Shadow's, however, it is possible the character was in a mere silhouette form. She also had round blue eyes, red eyeshadow, long eyelashes, long wavy hair, and her red gemstone was on her chest instead of her forehead.

Blaze is a slim, lavender-furred anthropomorphic cat with golden eyes with two long eyelashes each, a small black nose, and a white-furred muzzle. She has triangular ears with peach-colored canals on top of her head, and a long tail with the end frayed and violet. Her fur is longer on each side of her head and sweeps slightly upwards, and she has four plumes of hair with violet tips tied-up into a high ponytail by a red hair tie. She also has a red oval gem on her forehead.

For attire, Blaze wears a gold collar hanging from her neck, a purple tailcoat with rose trim at the bottom, white leggings, white gloves and high-heeled rose ankle boots, as both of them have white fluffy cuffs on them. Her boots also featured a thick white stripe on each of the front, and gray soles and heels.

A noble soul and strong young lady, Blaze is highly devoted to the well-fare of her people, her motto being "My power is to protect the smiles of my people." She is normally rather calm and solemn but tends to conceal her true feelings. She is also often described as elegant, which is demonstrated through her body movements and her ballerina-like fighting style. Being royalty, Blaze is quite stoic personality-wise, which is a perfect example of the spirit of the noblesse oblige, as she is very frequently doing her official duties, but still tries to do her best for everyone's peace. Because of her lineage and her stoicism, she is sometimes too distant from those around her, but that is also the flip side of her good nature. She likewise always sticks to her personal principles, which means doing the best she can with pride in the position she is in. This may be the source of Blaze's strength, and it may also be what makes her so appealing.

Blaze is mannerly and typically maintains a relatively quiet and formal air among others. She also usually speaks in a polite and ladylike tone. While honored of her heritage as royalty, though, Blaze is down-to-earth and dislikes being called by her title. Blaze is also likewise highly perceptive; due to having people that lie to her daily because of her status as a princess, she has developed a keen intuition, allowing her to sense and see through the lies of others. Also, due to the fact that she is so strong that she does not need her guards' support, one cannot help but wonder if she has that much discretion. Her own uncompromisingly calm judgment and unyielding spirit are also qualities that can be counted on. However, one's impression of her may be that she is a person with differences that can be respected.

While Blaze gives the impression that she keeps her emotions in check, she is inwardly highly emotional. She possesses a fiery temper, and when she loses her composure she is quite aggressive, harsh, and prone to making bad decisions. She is similarly very serious about her position as guardian of the Sol Emeralds, initially suspecting anyone even looking at the Emeralds the wrong way. Also, when dealing with enemies, she never holds back her strength and is not above the idea of using lethal force. She is usually highly disciplined and focused, never allowing herself to lose control, and can be quite stubborn and impatient once she has put her mind to something. Her intensive demeanor, however, is motivated by her own genuine concern for others' safety. In truth, Blaze has a kind heart and always stands up for those who cannot stand up for themselves, Because of her own self-imposed strict discipline though, she is often tense and frequently suffers from great self-pressure.

Initially, she held a personal dislike of her pyrokinesis because it left her to bear her responsibilities alone and it made other children tease her for her inability to control it, which made her view her flames as a curse. She later learns to accept them from Sonic's advice and came to see them as a blessing. Also, when it comes to her duty as guardian of the Sol Emeralds and their relation to the Chaos Emeralds, she is shown to have great faith in the actions both sets of Emeralds take on their own, no matter how vague their reasons may be.

Because of her past and strong sense of responsibility, Blaze has developed a habit of being self-reliant. This has led her to build up walls between her and other people, making her anti-social, withdrawn, and shy. As a result, she would bottle up her secret feelings, leaving herself in inner turmoil. She also lacks in social skills and has a hard time opening up and talking to people. She was also initially wary and curt towards strangers and frequently rejected offers to help, even becoming defensive and angry. This attitude also made her somewhat selfish as she berated Sonic's offers to help and eventually ended up fighting him.

After interacting with Cream, Amy and Sonic, Blaze has mellowed out considerably socially wise, making her more amiable, friendly, and gentle towards others. She also came to understand the true meaning of friendship, making her willing to trust and accept help from others. While she still prefers handling things on her own and remains somewhat reclusive, she will accept her friends' help and is genuinely grateful for their aid. Recently, she is seemingly much more sociable, participating in Sonic's and later Amy's birthday parties simply for the sake of friendship, and is much quicker to open up and relax in front of her friends.

Blaze is very honest and almost blunt when dealing with annoyances such as Marine. During the Jeweled Scepter incident, she tried to leave Marine behind on missions due to Marine's risky behavior and even went far enough to hurt her feelings by calling her a 'nuisance' to keep her from coming along with her on a dangerous mission to Pirates' Island. This caused Marine to go after the pirates without Sonic, Tails, or Blaze. Sooner rather than later, Marine was captured by them. Blaze also had a rather bad habit of getting over-confident in threatening people to whom she thinks "deserves" it. This was most notably shown during the Jeweled Scepter incident.

Blaze sometimes has a tendency to judge others poorly and see less value in others. Notably, she expected no one to know that their worlds were in great danger during the Sol Emerald incident but was proven wrong when Sonic and Tails were also aware. Her poor judgment of others led her to have a fight with Sonic and misjudge Cream until she realized how helpful she was.

Blaze suffers from acrophobia and just the sight of heights makes her terrified, nervous, and uncomfortable as seen in Sky Babylon. However, she is not much for admitting her fear and will try to hide it.

In the IDW Comics, Solemn, calm, and collected in battle, Blaze is a noble soul. Initially, she was a bit of a loner and somewhat defensive. However, she eventually warmed up to the concept of friendship and became more sociable and positive as a result of her new relationships. She has since come to cherish the friendships she has made and will do anything to keep her friends safe despite having only known them for a short time.

Being the guardian of the Sol Emeralds, Blaze is a force to be reckoned with. Both strong and powerful, she is able to go about without the need for her guards protecting her due to her sheer strength. She is arguably the strongest female character in the series, being the only female so far who has been able to tie with Sonic in battle, and is as intense in battle as she is graceful.

Blaze's trademark power is her pyrokinetic ability to brandish, create, and control the elemental force of fire with her body at will in any way she pleases. This ability is so deeply rooted in her that even her soul is alit with flames. Though Blaze initially had trouble controlling her flames, she has since become very adept at using them, turning them into an incredible force. Notably, she is able to handle them delicately enough to create small embers in the palm of her hand or defrost frozen creatures without harming them. Her power over fire is so advanced that she is even completely invulnerable to certain kinds of fire and can manipulate foreign flames at will too.

With her pyrokinesis, Blaze can conjure up flames for various offensive effects, the most basic maneuvers of which involve turning herself into a tornado of fire by spinning around. Notably, she can cloak herself in flames with a midair twirl for strikes, trigger high-speed twirls empowered by flames in order to form fiery tornadoes around her that destroy anything they collide with, envelop herself in flames to become an explosive meteor with enough impact power to create a crater in bedrock, or increase the power behind her strikes to such levels that she can send the Egg Mobile and its passenger flying into the horizon with a single, fire-charged kick. She can even create pressurized blasts of fire and have them burst out of the ground from afar. Purely offense usages aside, Blaze can also use her pyrokinesis to propel herself forward or upward with short bursts of fire or obtain limited flight by creating propulsive flames underneath her feet to slow her descent. However, her signature move with her flames lets her turn herself into a burning projectile that not only enhances her running speed but also lets her plow through opponents while running.

 Also, because Blaze's soul is alight with flame, she can serve as a vessel for Iblis, who would otherwise reject anyone not a member of the royal family of Soleanna, although his power would still leak out of her body.

Like many others, Blaze possesses no small amount of speed, allowing her to run at super speeds almost reaching those of Sonic's. In line with her graceful nature, Blaze is as well incredibly athletic considering her impressive dexterity and nimbleness when executing her various ballerina-like moves. Notably, she has enough skills in the area of athletics, reflexes, and agility to let her execute unique tricks and movements at high speed while in mid-air, pull off various Axel Jump maneuvers at immense speed, and grind on Grind Rails with ease. On the ground she is also able to perform top spins and axel jumps. In addition, she has amazing jumping skills, enough to jump very long distances from rooftop to rooftop on top of tall towers with ease while landing safely.

As the guardian of the Sol Emeralds, Blaze has a deep connection to them. Before she understood the meaning of friendship though, Blaze was unable to harness the Sol Emeralds' power. After embracing the friendships she had forged, however, she gained the ability to tap into the Sol Emeralds' energies and use them to empower herself.

In combat, Blaze makes use of her own type of hand-to-hand combat skills. In fact, many of Blaze's moves focus on graceful and delicate movements similar to ballerina moves to strike precise and hard blows. When attacking, she tends to use her feet when launching physical blows. Also, most of her fighting moves rely heavily on her pyrokinesis. By using her pyrokinesis in conjunction with her attacks, Blaze can create unique and dynamic moves that deal destructive damage to her targets. She can likewise perform an attack similar to the Homing Attack, where she quickly launches herself at an enemy and attacks them.

In some instances, Blaze is shown being able to levitate in midair. Being royalty, Blaze also has much knowledge about the various aspects of her planet, such as its history, ancient languages, and legends; and knows much about the various powers of the Jeweled Scepter. Additionally, she has excellent skills when it comes to driving vehicles like the Royal Chariot.

In the IDW Comics, Blaze has the power of pyrokinesis. This allows her to control fire in different shapes and forms. She can extinguish flames as well as create them from her own body, allowing her to create tornadoes and beams of fire that vary in size. She can as well envelope herself in fire to perform moves like the Fire Boost, in which she charges herself as a burning projectile at her opponents with increased speed provided by the propulsion. She can also use the Axel Jump, in which she jumps as a miniature tornado of fire that damages her foes upon impact. Offense aside, Blaze can perform the Burst Hover, which lets her create and wield fire at her palms and feet to maneuver through the air. She can even amplify the attacks of her allies, such as Sonic, by enveloping them in flames that do not burn them and then throwing them at her opponent.

After realizing the importance of friendship and allowing herself to open up to people, Blaze learned how to harness the power of the seven Sol Emeralds to transform into Burning Blaze. In this state, all of Blaze's abilities far surpass her normal ones, including her pyrokinesis, which allows her to fire and charge up destructive fireballs in this state. She is also able to fly and is nearly invulnerable. However, this transformation consumes a lot of energy, meaning it cannot be maintained for long.

By harnessing different variants of Hyper-go-on from Wisps, Blaze can use specific Color Powers to transform into a certain form, such as a drill, a laser, or even a planet, each one possessing its own unique abilities. So far, Blaze has been able to transform into the Cyan Laser, Yellow Drill, and Indigo Asteroid. However, these transformations require a steady supply of Hyper-go-on to be maintained.

Suffering from slight acrophobia, Blaze gets uncomfortable when faced with great heights, which is perhaps her greatest weakness. Blaze's temper also makes her prone to harsh and rough decisions. Notably, Blaze completely lost her temper while threatening Dr. Eggman and Eggman Nega in Deep Core, causing her to lose sight of how she had to not recklessly endanger herself for the sake of her world and people until Sonic calmed her down.

In the IDW Comics, As seen in the games Blaze suffers from acrophobia, which makes her uneasy at high altitudes. However, when needed, she is able to suppress her fear.

Overall, Blaze the Cat has been well received. IGN remarked upon seeing her at TGS 2005 that she "easily earned her place in the team" amidst unremarkable secondary characters. Her gameplay has been praised as "fast-moving and fun" as opposed to slower characters introduced earlier in the series, but criticized for its resemblance to that of Sonic. Blaze has been called "a nice addition to Sonic's cast" and "one of the more complex, multifaceted characters in the Sonic canon." She has been noted by GameSpot for her "fiery disposition". IGN's Nintendo Team stated in its July 2009 list of the top 25 Nintendo DS games that there is "nothing notable about a Sonic game bringing a new character into the fold, except that Blaze doesn't suck", ranking Sonic Rush 17th. She has become a favorite among fans of the series.

Blaze The Cat

Marine the Raccoon (マリン・ザ・ラクーン Marin za Rakūn) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is an anthropomorphic raccoon and a sailor from Southern Island in the Sol Dimension. When she began her travels, Marine met Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails and Blaze the Cat and joined them on their seafaring search for the Jeweled Scepter, during which she formed everlasting friendships.

Always energetic, Marine is talkative, but rarely listens. A spunky yet lovable rascal, she is a lover of excitement and constantly seeks adventures. She aspires to become the captain of her own ship so she can travel the world, but can be quite the handful. During her adventures with Sonic though, she has matured and has promised to grow up more.

Marine

Marine is an anthropomorphic raccoon with orange fur, a white muzzle, a small black nose, and sky blue eyes with one long eyelash on each one. She has brown triangular ears with cream canals on top of her head, brown rings around her rounded tail, and brown and cream-stripe markings around her eyes. On her head, she has two upturned pigtails with brown tips that are held together by yellow scrunchies.

For attire, she wears a lime green tube top with a white trim, black capri leggings, tan gloves, white socks, and lime green and orange shoes with gray soles.

Marine was born on Southern Island in the middle of nowhere on the sea, where she was kept company by the Coconut Crew from a young age. Growing up, Marine dreamt of going out and see the world as the captain of her own ship and have adventures, eventually becoming discontent over staying on her island like a prisoner. As such, she would spent her days gazing across the ocean, particular at the Plant Kingdom, while wondering about what lied beyond her home.

By the time she was seven years old, Marine finally decided to set out, and took up sailing and shipbuilding, making numerous attempts to make her own ship with Materials.

In Sonic Rush Adventure, Marine found Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower when they washed up on Seagull Beach. Claiming to having "saved" them, introductions were made and Marine promptly invited them to stay with her until they found a way home. The next day, Marine took the SS Marine out on its maiden voyage while Sonic and Tails watched, but she failed to control it and crashed. Her loss left Marine devastated, but Tails offered to build her a new boat. While Marine was unsure about it due to several issues, Sonic and Tails made the Wave Cyclone with a book provided by Marine. Proclaiming herself the captain, Marine "lead" the group out on their journey to different islands, looking for Materials.

While Marine got to see new places, often wandering off despite Sonic and Tails' warnings, the group was attacked by several robotic enemies on their journey which Marine suspected was jealous of her adventures. They also met the rogue racer Johnny, who Marine goaded into challenging her, only to pass it over to Sonic. When reaching Coral Cave, Marine unveiled the isle by poking at an altar. There, they met Captain Whisker, whom Marine antagonized, and his crew, who were the ones behind the robot attacks. They also met Sonic's old ally, Blaze the Cat, who helped fight off Whisker, though the pirates got away with the Jeweled Scepter, an artifact in Coral Cave which Blaze tried to protect. Hearing that Sonic and Tails were actually from another world, Marine had them explain it all, and they decided to help Blaze recover the scepter which posed a threat to both their worlds.

As the crew searched for the pirates' hideout, Marine kept working everyone's nerves with her antics and insistence to follow them despite the dangers. After tracking and losing the pirates at Haunted Ship where Marine tried poorly to hide her fear of ghosts, reaching Blizzard Peaks where they freeing the captive Vikings from the pirates while Marine was introduced to snow, and uncovering the secrets of Sky Babylon which Marine unearthed by fumbling with priceless relics, the heroes located the pirates on Pirates' Island. However, Marine was shocked to hear that her crew wanted to her to stay behind while they faced the pirates to protect her, and insisted to come. However, as Blaze revealed bluntly they thought she was a nuisance, she ran off crying.

Not letting it set her back, Marine set off to prove herself by stopping the pirates alone, but got herself captured by Whisker and set to be tortured by the Ghost Titan. Luckily, Sonic and Blaze rescued and defeated Whisker for good, while Marine swiped the Jeweled Scepter when Whisker was not looking. Though she still got reprimanded for her recklessness, Marine gave the scepter back to Blaze and made up with her friends. Marine thus accepted she was no captain and had to be more careful, but kept her ambition of becoming a real captain one day.

As Marine worked with her friends to bring Sonic and Tails back home with the Chaos Emeralds and Sol Emeralds, while working on her own ship, they got news that the Jeweled Scepter was stolen again. Shortly after, Marine and the crew met the true thieves, who turned out to be Dr. Eggman and Eggman Nega, who revealed from their Egg Wizard that they created the pirates to find the Jeweled Scepter, and then use its incredible power to build Eggmanland upon both worlds. Marine and the crew followed the villains to Deep Core, where Super Sonic and Burning Blaze tried to beat the Egg Wizard as it harnessed the Power of the Stars. On the verge of defeat, Eggman Nega tried to destroy the planet, but Marine distracted the Egg Wizard with her hydrokinesis by firing a ball of water, giving Super Sonic and Burning Blaze the opening they needed to finish the doctors off.

With the Jeweled Scepter secured, Marine went to see Sonic and Tails off in her SS Super-Marine as the duo left in the SS Tornado EX. Though she was sad to see them go, Marine took solace in their promise that they would meet again and vowed that she would have grown much more up the next time they met, before returning home to Blaze.

Marine has at least passable skills in the Material-based technology for shipbuilding, though they pale in comparison to Tails'. She was able to construct a small boat on her own, although it had several bugs, but eventually grew proficient enough to build a fully operational water bike on her own. While also starting out as an amateur, Marine has since gained general sailing skills, being able to ride a water bike alone.

Marine is initially portrayed as lacking any skill in combat or adventuring. While not technically a special skill or ability, Marine is able to talk her way into almost anything; she goaded Johnny into challenging her by preying on his ego, and made her friends take her on dangerous missions with tantrums. However, in the story's climax, Marine suddenly manifests a mysterious water power which lets her fire water blasts from her fists. The fact that the Egg Wizard was knocked back by just one blast suggests that there is great power to this ability. She is also a very fast runner, able to keep up with even Sonic, though she lacks the stamina to sustain it.

Marine the Racoon

Silver the Hedgehog (シルバー・ザ・ヘッジホッグ Shirubā za Hejjihoggu) is a character who appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is an anthropomorphic hedgehog who travels back in time from two hundred years in the future to the present. His goal is to preserve peace in his future by resolving the disasters of the past, resulting in frequent interactions with Sonic the Hedgehog and other denizens of the time. For his missions, Silver uses powerful psychokinetic abilities, which in his time are considered the norm, and which allow him to manipulate physical objects with the power of his mind.

Silver is a kind-hearted and optimistic individual who always wears his heart on his sleeve. He is driven by a strong sense of hope and wants nothing more than peace. Although his forthright and passionate nature can make him naïve or abrasive, he takes his mission very seriously and will do whatever it takes to protect the world.

Silver

In 2005, the Sega development team was experimenting with the new Havok engine. This led to plans for an action game called Fifth Phantom Saga, starring a character with physics-based psychokinetic abilities, which was shown at E3 2005 alongside the teaser for Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). When Fifth Phantom Saga was canceled, the concept of a psychokinetic protagonist was carried over to Sonic the Hedgehog, becoming the inspiration for Silver.

Wanting to emphasize his psychokinesis, the team sought to give him unique attributes that no other characters in the series had. Director Shun Nakamura had an unused idea for a game about teenagers fighting aliens, which initially inspired his character. Because of this, he was originally planned to be from outer space, but he was eventually changed to be from the future instead. Writer Shiro Maekawa based Silver's character on Future Trunks from the Dragon Ball series. Early drafts describe him as having "special powers" of unknown origin drawn from the Chaos Emeralds, though this evidently didn't make it into the final game. Design-wise, an idea was proposed for him to have scarf-like hair, with more volume than Sonic's. Designers developed over fifty different concepts for the character - early sketches included a hedgehog-like animal with a headset and futuristic markings - before reaching the final look.

Early concepts had him as a mink named "Venice" (ヴェネツィア), after the city of Venice, Italy, the location that Soleanna is based on. However, the team ultimately decided against this, fearing a mink would not blend well with the rest of the cast. After much discussion, he was finalized as a hedgehog. Although his fur color was originally planned to be orange, as the team focused on rendering his character model's textures before his colors, they decided to keep him white-gray. This is also where his finalized name, Silver, came from.

Since his debut, Silver has been voiced by Daisuke Ono in Japanese. The first English-language voice actor for the character was Pete Capella from 2006's Sonic the Hedgehog until Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. Quinton Flynn replaced Capella in Sonic Free Riders until Sonic Forces. Flynn was later replaced by Bryce Papenbrook from Team Sonic Racing onwards.

Silver, as his name states, is a young silver anthropomorphic hedgehog with white fur on his chest surrounding his neck, gold eyes that have an upturned angular shape with black patterns at their edges, and peach skin. He has a black nose on his muzzle, and two large spines at the back of his head, while on the front of his forehead, there are five distinct spines flared up and back, the two final ones covering up most of his small, triangular ears and a short pointy tail.

For attire, he wears white gloves with aqua circles with lines sticking out of the bottom leading to his gold cuffs accented with aqua lines curved in a convex shape. The tops of his boots are of a similar fashion with a red gem set in gold. The rest of his boots are navy blue with a white stripe down the center, aqua toes, and gray soles with four aqua hexagons.

Silver is best described as having "a strong sense of justice" and it is this personality trait that motivates him to go back into the past in order to correct his future. He believes in standing up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. This led him to accept Blaze when everybody else was teasing her for her pyrokinetic abilities. He makes alliances and rivalries very easily and takes people's word without question. Silver has been described as mysterious and enigmatic on several occasions, with not much being known about him or his powers.

Although seemingly serious on the outside, it has been stated that Silver is young and somewhat immature. He has been described as naïve, rash, and reckless. That does not mean, however, that he is incompetent, as Eggman Nega once said that he is very perceptive and that he rarely falls for his tricks. With little information to draw upon, he lets his intuition guide him, but as a relatively isolated person, he has little understanding of interpersonal relations or the subtle tools of manipulators.

Silver can be quite brash, having a noted attitude and a mischievous side. Silver is abrasive and often insults and laughs at his enemies or sneers at things he finds unimpressive. In Japanese, Silver acts with mannerisms that are considered rude and informal, including pointing at people he's talking to, sitting with his legs crossed, or addressing others with "anta" (あんた) and himself with "ore" (おれ). However, these traits are only an extension of his sincere and unpretentious demeanor, including casual gestures such as waving.

Described as a "hedgehog of justice", Silver is straightforward, cannot tell lies, and is always thinking about others' happiness before his own.  As such, he is always ready to protect those in need and lend a helping hand. However, calling him a hedgehog of justice might be a bit of an exaggeration; this is because his wish is to maintain peace, and not eradicate evil.

Despite sometimes coming from a devastated future, Silver is an optimist, but has dubbed himself as also being a realist, having once believed before his first encounter with Mephiles that time travel was impossible. Due to his sometimes ruined timeline, the white hedgehog can occasionally deviate from his mission to enjoy even the smallest of things in the present timeline, such as innocently playing with Chao and even calling a desolate desert "so beautiful", much to the confusion of those around him. He generally keeps a positive attitude and never gives up hope, no matter how objectively hopeless the situation is. He is also quite humble; despite his actions having helped saved his era many times, Silver does not see himself as a hero, but rather someone who tries to not mess up history too much. However, he is willing to bear the responsibilities of being a hero if it means putting smiles on peoples' faces.

Despite his kind soul, Silver can also be a very dangerous individual, and tends to deal with things too head-on because of the strength of his feelings and he will sometimes take everything upon himself. He will not think twice about resorting to violence against anyone, even a friend of his, over a misunderstanding. When he pursues an enemy, he does so with relentless determination. Most noticeably, when tricked into thinking that Sonic was the cause of his ruined future during the Solaris incident, the white hedgehog was willing to do everything in his power to destroy his target even after judging that Sonic could not have reasonably been able to destroy the world following a confrontation. Owing to this determination, Silver can show an absolute refusal to give up, even if all the odds are stacked up against him. This, as well as him having little regard for pain, can make him a very frightening opponent. However, this is also an aspect of his purity and endearing virtues. Silver has also been described as having an enduring charm.

Silver lives for world peace and prosperity. Beautiful flourishing environments and places where people live peacefully leave him breathless while scarred and destroyed environments sadden him. Silver loves bringing smiles to others and denotes the state of his good futures as ones where people are happy and have smiles, and is outraged at destruction and suffering in the world.

Silver is an optimistic, young hedgehog who has a strong sense of justice. This personality trait is what motivates him to head back into the past in order to correct the future and help his people at whatever the cost. However, he is somewhat over-eager and naïve, which makes him prone to making decisions without fully thinking things through. Somewhat awkward when dealing with others and a bit socially clumsy, he has a tendency to hide behind a façade of bravado. Having suffered from loneliness for a very long time, Silver also has a hard time grasping the notion of someone preferring to stay alone. Silver also struggles with the concept of returning to the past without any issues occurring in his future, becoming anxious over the idea of having no clear directive to his actions. When lacking this directive, Silver's desire to be proactive can quickly get him into unintentional trouble.

Despite his faults, Silver is a very kind-hearted, brave, selfless and daring individual who is ready to risk his life for others, being ready to jump into the face of danger no matter the danger, as he is willing to quickly put himself on the line to help his allies and friends. Silver's strong capacity for kindness has allowed him to make friends with many people, even those who are isolated, such as Whisper the Wolf.

Silver is arguably one of the more powerful characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Notably, he is able to fight other strong individuals like Sonic, Knuckles and to a standstill.

Silver's primary powers are his psychic abilities, which let him manipulate the environment around him with the power of his mind. His main application of this skill is his psychokinesis, which lets him control physical objects using telekinesis and has a broad range of applications. A master with this skill, Silver can telekinetically grab and move up to several objects many times his own size and weight as both a single or collective mass, as demonstrated by his Meteor Smash attack where he forms a compressed ball of objects over twenty times his own size which could potentially weigh a net total of several tons. He can also use his psychokinesis on himself to allow himself to levitate and fly at immense speeds rivaling Sonic's running speed. Silver's psychokinesis is also able to apply immense strength. With it, he can exert enough pressure to bend a thick steel bar, crush robots with a single telekinetic grab, and immobilize the movements of someone as strong as Sonic completely. Likewise, when repelling objects with his psychokinesis, Silver can do it with enough force and speed to crush metal, send his grabbed target flying tremendous distances, and even stun enormous monsters such as Iblis.

Additionally, Silver can use his psychokinesis to grab onto certain non-solid objects, such as fireballs and certain types of energy blasts. Offensive usages aside, Silver can also use his psychokinesis defensively by creating barriers of psychokinetically-bend light that are strong enough to block a 0.5% energy blast from the Eclipse Cannon. Silver can also use his psychokinesis to channel pure psychic energies that he can manipulate into energy-based attacks, such as sharp blades that he can fire at opponents. Alternatively, he can use these energies to greatly charge his already impressive telekinetic throwing range. He can also use these energies to freeze or shock enemies, namely by creating close-ranged bursts of energy that can paralyze his targets or even energy shockwaves that strike all targets around him. In addition, Silver is very creative with his psychokinesis, as he can telekinetically arrange different everyday objects into various conglomerated shapes as more effective means of attacking, such as giant balls to bowl over opponents and train-sized battering rams. Also, when letting loose, Silver can manipulate everything around him.

Offensive usages aside, Silver can apply his psychic powers to his other abilities. He has for example the power of ESP that grants him limited telepathy, but only enough to induce limited vertigo in others. He can also use his psychic powers to teleport himself over short distances instantaneously by warping space.

Psychic abilities aside, Silver possesses impressive physical abilities too. Notably, he is able to run at super speed reaching those of Sonic and Shadow without wearing down, although he is still not as fast as Sonic. He also has incredible physical durability and endurance; during the Time Eater incident, he withstood several hits from Sonic's Homing Attack, slid along the ground for long distances without harm, and even survived being buried by his own Meteor Smash attack. In addition, Silver is also shown to have impressive agility and acrobatic skills, enough to let him move gracefully through midair (both with and without the aid of his psychokinesis), do unique tricks and movements while in mid-air, pull off various Spin Attack maneuvers at high speed, and grind on Grind Rails with ease. He also has lightning-fast reflexes and senses, being able to mimic and cope with approximately even Sonic's speedy movements. Additionally, he can do amazing feats as well, being able to catch objects moving through midair at high velocities, such as bullets and missiles, with his psychokinesis. Silver also possesses above-average physical strength, being capable of pushing things several times bigger and heavier than himself.

Silver has also demonstrated the ability to harness Chaos Emerald energy for his own use; with a Chaos Emerald, Silver can perform the Chaos power Chaos Control and occasionally gain a boost in power. His usage of Chaos Control is not at Shadow's level but it is stronger than most.

Silver is also able to perform the Spin Attack, a technique where he curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs himself at his targets. With it, Silver can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed. Adept in its usage, Silver can utilize several variants of the Spin Attack for both ground- and aerial maneuvers, including the Spin Dash, Spin Jump, and Homing Attack.

In combat, Silver relies heavily on his psychic powers and using the environment to his advantage. Unlike most other characters who utilize close combat, Silver focuses on long-range attacks. When fighting, Silver constantly keeps his distance, as he tends to concentrate for an attack, which leaves him open. If an opponent does get too close, however, he can grab them telekinetically and throw them away. Aside from that, Silver's main method of attack involves him throwing the objects around him at his foes. Occasionally, he can also rearrange these objects into colossal, conglomerated shapes as a more effective means of attacking. If projectiles are shot at him, Silver can grab them telekinetically and throw them back at the opponent, effectively allowing him to turn his opponents' power against them. When times call for it though, Silver is also capable of going on the offensive with hand-to-hand combat. However, his proficiency with this type of combat is unclear, as he has only demonstrated a limited range of punches and Spin Attack maneuvers.

As seen during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix, Silver has excellent skills when it comes to driving and racing in racecars like the Lightron.

Silver can travel through time, both via the use of Chaos Control and with mysterious portals that only appear when things in the past go awry.

Silver's main power is his psychokinesis, the ability to manipulate the environment around him with the power of his mind. Whenever using his psychokinesis, Silver and the targets he affects get surrounded in a cyan aura. With it, Silver can telekinetically lift, throw, hold and move objects (or people) easily, and even immobilize enemies. With enough focus, he can even catch multiple targets at once. He can also form constructs out of psychokinetic energies, like lassos and force-fields for protection and encasing targets. Silver can also use his psychokinesis on himself, thereby allowing him to hover and fly.

Additionally, Silver mentions being able to use Chaos Control to warp targets, though he notes that is more skilled with the ability than him. He can also travel through time via mysterious portals that open whenever he is needed in another time, though he has no control over when they appear.

By using all seven Chaos Emeralds, Silver can enter a Super State, transforming him into Super Silver. In this state, all of Silver's innate abilities far surpass his normal ones, including his psychic powers which have been greatly amplified. He is as well able to fly without his psychokinesis and is nearly invulnerable. However, this transformation consumes a lot of energy and requires Rings to be maintained.

By harnessing different variants of Hyper-go-on from Wisps, Silver can use specific Color Powers to transform into a certain form, such as a drill, a laser, or even a planet, each one possessing its own unique abilities. So far, Silver has been able to transform into the Cyan Laser, Yellow Drill, and Indigo Asteroid. However, these transformations require a steady supply of Hyper-go-on to be maintained.

Silver will lose his focus when using psychokinesis if he is caught off guard or hit by a surprise attack. Also, Silver does have a limit to how much weight he can carry while using his psychokinesis, with his maximum being around dozens of tons. Attempting to carry more than he can handle will strain his concentration to the extent that he will feel extreme pain. Also, letting his thoughts get distracted weakens his concentration and thereby his psychokinesis. In addition, if he overuses his psychokinesis, Silver can become extremely fatigued, and will need Rings to regain his energy.

Silver can be narrow-minded and easily tricked.

While his psychokinetic powers can hold a vast amount of stuff, Silver does have a limit to how many objects he can hold in a psychokinetic grip. He also has trouble telekinetically grabbing multiple targets at once over greater distances with his psychokinesis, and must concentrate greatly in order to pull off such a feat. He similarly cannot telekinetically grab targets that move too fast for him to focus on.

Eggman Nega (エッグマンネガ Egguman Nega, real name unknown), also known as simply Nega, is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a human scientist and a distant descendant of Dr. Eggman from approximately two hundred years into the future, though he initially deceitfully introduced himself as Eggman's counterpart from the Sol Dimension.

A genius scientist whose skills are in no way inferior to Dr. Eggman, Eggman Nega seeks nothing more than the destruction of the world. Believing as well that Eggman's failures have ruined his reputation, Eggman Nega holds a deadly grudge against his ancestor.

Eggman Nega

Eggman Nega bears a very strong resemblance to his ancestor, Dr. Eggman, so much in fact that others have mistaken them for each other. Like Eggman, Eggman Nega is a rotund and burly human, his torso and head coming together in an egg-like shape. He possesses no visible neck, peach skin, a bald head, a bright red nose, and a very bushy mustache. He also has long, almost disproportionately thin arms and legs. Unlike Eggman, however, Eggman Nega's mustache is gray.

For attire, Eggman Nega wears a red jumpsuit with a metallic-looking vertical silver stripe going up the middle and black and yellow-striped boots with gray soles. He also wears a open black military-styled jacket over his jumpsuit. This jacket possesses long coattails, a yellow stripe on the upper arms, yellow triangular markings on the chest areas that extend over the shoulders and down the back, big yellow cuffs with two points, and two round gray buttons on the lower front. In addition, he wears white gloves with a square marking on the tops, pointy blue sunglasses, and visor-styled goggles with gray frames and a green lens. By comparison, the coloration of Eggman Nega's clothing appears to be a reversion of Eggman's.

Having inherited Dr. Eggman's scientific genius and his wicked sneakiness, Eggman Nega is a sinister, ruthless, power-hungry, violent, and cruel individual who seeks to dominate the world and those beyond if it is within his ability to do so. While they are similar in many regards from an outside point of however, Eggman Nega is hinted to be quite different from his ancestor on the inside.

When facing his enemies, Eggman Nega usually remains calm and composed, rarely allowing his temper to dominate his behavior. He is likewise cold and calculating, yet eerily polite in manner and speech, the latter of which is quite different in comparison to the ruder, short-tempered, and loud mannerisms of Eggman's. Cold-hearted and lacking in empathy or concern for any living creature besides himself, Eggman Nega cares nothing for those his ambitions affect, to the point where he did not care about the devastation that awaited the Sol Dimension and its inhabitants when he caused its merging with Sonic's universe. He likewise has a sadistic, unnerving sense of humor and enjoys mocking his victims, often taunting them with his polite mannerisms and with facts that are especially hurtful to those he mocks.

What sets Eggman Nega apart from his ancestor are his more monstrous and radical goals that threaten to destroy the world, making him much more dangerous than Dr. Eggman. Rather than just dominating the world(s) he seeks to conquer, Eggman Nega seems more interested in bringing down desolation and disorder upon them. In fact, his interest in conquest seems to stem from a desire to make the world his "plaything" so that he can bring an age of fear and chaos upon it. He even sought to release the Ifrit simply so that it could destroy the world and thinks that something like this would be "glorious." He also appears to be highly insane and completely lacking in common sense, even more so than Dr. Eggman himself, being perfectly willing to achieve any victory by any means, even at the cost of the world or his own existence, if his plans do not proceed as initially designed. For example, when his and Eggman's Egg Wizard was about lose to Sonic and Blaze in Deep Core, Eggman Nega gleefully attempted to destroy his foes with an attack that could not only destroy Sonic and Blaze, but himself, Eggman, and the entire planet as well. Similarly, when it became clear to him that he could not change his time in his favor, he decided to destroy it instead.

That said, Eggman Nega is not entirely without concern for his own life, as he wanted to be saved from the Chaotic Inferno Zone when he got stuck there.

Despite his obvious insanity, Eggman Nega is quite manipulative and cunning; Eggman himself has even admitted that Eggman Nega is very sneaky. Not only did he successfully use Dr. Eggman and Rouge to do his dirty work for him on separate occasions, but he also managed to overthrow Eggman two times and successfully pose as him without those who were not already aware of his identity noticing it. However, he can sometimes lose track of important details while making unnecessary speeches; when his Egg Salamander was about to be defeated, all Eggman Nega did was babble about how he made a small miscalculation and could still salvage his plan, not even noticing what was going on.

Alongside his villainous behavior, Eggman Nega is overconfident, arrogant, and sees himself as above the others with his intelligence. He does not even consider his actions being wrong and always blames either Sonic and his friends or even his own ancestor for creating the bad reputation of his family. To this end, he will get rid of any obstacle that distorts his evil reputation, including those he has inherited from his family.

Like his ancestor, Eggman Nega loves to gloat loudly, although his voice is distinctively thinner than his ancestor's. He is also distinguished by his signature laughter, "Hee hee hee", which compares to Dr. Eggman's more boisterous "Ho ho ho".

Possessing scientific capabilities that are in no way inferior to Dr. Eggman's, Eggman Nega possesses a high genius-level intellect. Over his career, he has orchestrated numerous plots and schemes for universal and/or interdimensional dominion and destruction, all of which only fail due to his overconfidence and interference from Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies. He is a remarkable scientist and engineer, as evidenced by the armies of robots and other mechanical machines of mass-destruction he has designed and created. Eggman Nega is also an incredibly skilled pilot that can match his ancestor Dr. Eggman in piloting skills with various mechs. Additionally, it has been noted that he is rather sneaky; noticeably, he has been the only one who could infiltrate one of Eggman's heavily armed bases without being detected.

Eggman Nega has a handheld device which he can use to freely travel across time and dimensions. He also has a jetpack which he can use to fly.

Eggman Nega's overconfidence often gets the better of him, leading to the downfall of his plans.

Metal Sonic 3.0, also known as Metal Sonic Mach 3.0, is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is Dr. Eggman Nega's improved edition of Metal Sonic, which acts as a rival to its predecessor.

Metal Sonic 3.0 looks nearly identical to its predecessor, albeit with slight design differences: it is colored black instead of blue, featuring a yellow outline around its eyes, three parallel vertical yellow stripes starting from its muzzle to the top of its spine, black feet with a yellow stripe, a single black stripe on the back of its hands, and its chest is orange with a yellow outline.

In Sonic Rivals 2, Metal Sonic 3.0 was made to awaken the Ifrit in Chaotic Inferno and raced Shadow, Metal Sonic, Silver, and Espio. It was revealed that Metal Sonic 3.0 served as a decoy to distract Dr. Eggman Nega's enemies, allowing the doctor to awaken the Ifrit himself in the meantime. When either one reached the Ifrit, Metal Sonic 3.0 tried to stop them from destroying the Ifrit and attacked them. Once the Ifrit was defeated, Metal Sonic 3.0 was either destroyed or trapped in the Ifrit's dimension.

Metal Sonic 3.0

Mephiles the Dark (闇のメフィレス Yami no Mefiresu, lit. "Mephiles of Darkness") is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Mephiles was the manifestation of the mind and will of the sun god Solaris. He was born during the Solaris Project when the experiments on Solaris split him into Mephiles and Iblis. After his birth, Mephiles was sealed inside the Scepter of Darkness by a time-traveling Shadow the Hedgehog, but was accidentally freed a decade later during a skirmish between Shadow, Rouge the Bat, and Doctor Eggman.

Upon his release, Mephiles orchestrated a time-traveling plan to torment Shadow and release Iblis from Princess Elise the Third, successfully killing Sonic the Hedgehog. He then reunited with Iblis to recreate Solaris, but was defeated by Sonic, Shadow, and Silver the Hedgehog. When Sonic and Elise traveled back in time to prevent the Solaris Project, Mephiles was unwritten from the timeline.

"It's futile. The world will betray you. Why fight at all? Why risk your life for those who will persecute you later?"

Mephiles is normally seen in one of three forms (excluding his monstrous form, only used in battle). His original form was an amorphous mass of darkness, which emitted an aura and behaved similarly to liquid.

After creating a body based on Shadow the Hedgehog, Mephiles took the form of a miscolored but otherwise nearly identical copy of him. Differences included green eyes with slit pupils, a pale-skinned muzzle with no mouth, gray-blue Limiter Rings, and gray-blue wherever Shadow is colored red.

Mephiles' third and most iconic form was a crystalline evolution of his Shadow body. It still had no mouth, but now has no nose, or even feet, his legs instead ending in crystalline stubs with a purple aura. Despite his crystalline appearance, his quills and ears are still capable of bending and moving. His arms were also disconnected at the elbows, leaving a gap. His eyes changed color, gaining red sclera with faint stitches and lime green irises, while his quills were bushier and ended in white tips.

Although Mephiles lacks a visible mouth, his muzzle still moves and shifts as he speaks. This trait is missing from his appearance in Shadow Generations, where his muzzle always remains still - interestingly, this game is also the first time Mephiles is ever seen blinking, revealing he has eyelids which have the exact color and texture of his crystals, Shadow Generations also changes his design slightly with his crystals glowing a slight purple, and his skin becoming a purplish-black, with his irises being a darker shade of green.

Ten years before the events of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Mephiles was accidentally created during the Solaris Project, under the supervision of the Duke of Soleanna. In one of the project's experiments, Solaris was split into two separate entities: his raw power, Iblis, and his cunning mind, Mephiles. As Mephiles fled in the shape of a thick darkness, he was pursued by Shadow the Hedgehog, who had traveled back in time to discover Mephiles' origins. Shadow sealed Mephiles inside the Scepter of Darkness given to him by the Duke; in the process, Mephiles vowed to remember Shadow and one day take his revenge.

Eventually, Dr. Eggman acquired the Scepter of Darkness as part of his plan to harness Solaris. It was stored at his base in White Acropolis, before it was stolen by Rouge the Bat. The Scepter then shattered in a scuffle between Eggman, Rouge, and Shadow in Kingdom Valley, which released Mephiles. His darkness dove into Shadow's shadow and formed a body mimicking his. Mephiles laughed at the irony that he was freed by the same person who sealed him away, before realizing that Shadow did not know him yet (as Shadow had yet to time travel at this point). He then transported himself, Shadow, and Rouge two hundred years into the future, beginning his plan to recreate Solaris and consume all time and space.

In the future, Mephiles obtained the purple Chaos Emerald. He then approached Silver the Hedgehog, who was locked in an eternal struggle trying to destroy the monstrous Iblis. Mephiles tempted Silver with a way to stop Iblis from awakening in the first place, showing him a vision of Sonic the Hedgehog and calling him the "Iblis Trigger" who had summoned Iblis. Silver accepted the mission to kill Sonic to save the future, unaware that this would only accelerate Iblis' appearance. Mephiles then transported himself, Silver, and Blaze the Cat two hundred years into the past, to the game's present time. Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, and Knuckles the Echidna briefly witnessed this meeting from afar, having been sent to the same time period by Dr. Eggman's Solaris prototype machine.

In the present, Mephiles next appeared in Soleanna New City, ordering Silver to pursue Sonic into Radical Train and refusing to answer the hedgehog's questions about the mission, before disappearing again. He must have traveled back into the future at some point, as he baited Shadow into facing him alone in Flame Core. There he revealed that Shadow had been betrayed and imprisoned by the humans who feared his power, and tempted him to join his side to get revenge on humanity. However, Shadow refused and instead attacked Mephiles. The two seemed evenly matched until the arrival of E-123 Omega, who helped turn the tables against Mephiles. He fled back into the present day, his attackers jumping into the portal after him. 

Though Mephiles shook their pursuit momentarily, he was eventually accosted by Omega again in Wave Ocean. Enduring high amounts of abuse from the robot's cannons, Mephiles gloated that in the future Omega would be reprogrammed to help the humans capture Shadow. Mephiles then faded away once more, leaving Omega to share the news with Shadow and Rouge.

Mephiles then headed to Dusty Desert to obtain the yellow Chaos Emerald, beginning to prepare for the final step of his plan. Shadow, Omega, and Rouge had correctly assumed as such, cornering him in a sanctum there. The three defeated Mephiles and reduced him to darkness once more, letting Shadow attempt to seal him back in the Scepter of Darkness again. However, Mephiles easily broke free, boasting that he had obtained enough power that he could not be sealed away anymore. He used his and Shadow's Chaos Emeralds to summon an army of clones and again questioned why Shadow would fight for a world that would ultimately despise him, but Shadow reaffirmed his stance, discarding his Limiter Rings to make short work of the army.

In the Last Story, Mephiles appears in Soleanna Forest. Having either escaped or simply survived the fight with Shadow, he grasps the purple Chaos Emerald and resolves to complete his plan where Silver failed. Hunting down Sonic and Princess Elise nearby, he blinds them both with the Emerald's powers, and projects an energy spear that impales Sonic through his back, killing him. Elise cries over his death and, because of this, the Flames of Disaster are released. After Mephiles completes the job himself and laughs triumphantly, he summons all the Chaos Emeralds to reunite with Iblis and assume their complete form as Solaris.

Despite this victory, Solaris is soon defeated in a final battle against Shadow, Silver, and a revived Sonic in their Super States. Afterwards, Sonic and Elise go back in time to extinguish Solaris before the Solaris Project can occur, eliminating it and making it so that Mephiles was never created.

When the Time Eater damaged the time streams and created White Space, echoes of past temporal alterations were stirred up. This included Mephiles, who was drawn from the echoes to briefly return. His Boss Gate is hidden in an underground chamber in White Space. Shadow fights him in a sanctum in Dusty Desert, the same location of their final battle in Shadow Episode in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

Mephiles emerges from the Scepter of Darkness and immediately attempts to kill Shadow. He reveals that he plans to defeat Shadow and then restore himself to the timeline, exhibiting awareness of his own displacement, but quickly realizes that his foe does not remember their previous encounters at all. After being thoroughly beaten by Shadow, who deems Mephiles a random threat, Mephiles lashes out once more and proclaims his desire to just exist. However, Shadow defeats him and seals him back within the Scepter of Darkness, declaring that there will never be a future for Mephiles. After the Time Eater's defeat, the timeline returned to normal, so Mephiles was presumably lost to time once more.
