Unfortunately, you may not be too clued in with every star that leaps through your computer screens, so we at The Mobian are ready to explain away.

 

Listed below are the main characters of The Mobian Sprite Comic, chronologically listed according to their admittance to the series, as well as a brief description.

 - The original hero, the blue speedster lives his life to the fullest. He's usually either ridding the world of threats from Dr Robotnik or chilling out with his friends, but he knows that danger is always just around the corner. Sonic can be relied upon in any situation, as long as his ego and arrogance don't get in his way. That and his erratic 'Super' form...

 - This two-tailed fox was rescued by Sonic the Hedgehog at a young age and his gratitude for Mobius' hero will never run dry. Combining his amazing aviation abilities (by both twirling his tails AND piloting his plane, 'The Tornado'), Tails has proved his worth against the fight with Dr. Robotnik and has shown, on several solo adventures, that luck can also win in the end.

 - The little pig with the huge heart. Porker Lewis spent his early days as a professional hostage, relying on Sonic to bust him out of Robotnik's contraptions, the 'Badniks'. Since then, he has made it his task to aid Sonic in any way possible, harnessing his incredibly knowledgable mind, and his knack for technology, to help the Freedom Fighters. Now, since a nervous breakdown, Porker lives on the Floating Island, helping Knuckles to restore it to its former state and watches over the Master Emerald.

 - Once the lone resident of the Floating Island, Knuckles' life was turned around with the appearance of Sonic and Dr. Robotnik. Instead of his task being to watch over the Chaos Emeralds, the echidna frequently found that he had to defend the entire island from invasion. With the appearance of a couple of his ancient family members, he now wishes to discover why he was left on the island alone for thousands of years and where his race disappeared to.

 - This is a bat of all careers! Working alongside E-123 Omega, Rouge started life as a thief, with her ultimate goal being the Chaos Emeralds. Time spent in 'Team Dark' (not the SEGA viewpoint, a completely different Team) made her realise that, perhaps, money, wasn't everything. However, working alongside the Freedom Fighters led to a nasty accident and she wasn't seen again for months. Sightings of this charming seductress in the Emerald Hill Zone and Metropolis City Hall have seen her revert to her thieving ways.

 - Omega was the last of Robotnik's ailing E-series robots. Fitted with an arsenal of drills, chain guns, flamethrowers and missiles, Omega was left in one of the Doctor's bases after he had to flee to safety. Re-activated by Rouge on a thieving mission, the android wishes for revenge for being left alone. Joining Team Dark when sticking by Rouge's side, he found a way to vent his 'feelings' - helping to steal his 'Death Egg'.

 - Possibly the most evil human, possibly organism, in the whole world. Doctor Ivo Robotnik has managed to take complete control of Planet Mobius twice (both exploiting Sonic's absence from the timezone at the time) and now he's attemtping to do it again by being elected as President. It's hard to believe, after watching him merciless enslave Mobians and try to destroy Sonic's friends countless times, that Robotnik was once a peaceful scientist! Due to a freak 'accident', the kindly Ovi Kintobor, a human attempting to erase evil by using the Chaos Emeralds, was combined with a rotten egg to create the slothenly Robotnik.

 

A resident of the Sunny Valley Zone, Manic the Hedgehog is a member of the Underground Resistance, seeking to abolish oppression in the Zone. A keen music lover, he often thinks his guitar to many of life's problems, but soon, attacks from a selection of Robotnik's rogue troops change his viewpoint. Manic's slight 'roguish' look can deceive his enemy into thinking he is a docile punk with no heart for battle, but his strength and capability with an axe (on rare occasions) put paid to that.

 

The sister of Manic, she strives for much of the same as her sibling. The other member of the Underground Resistance, she looks at things far more philosophically than her brash brother and tends to take the situation into account before acting. She also has a love for music, but unlike her brother, it is the only medium she has left of remembering her mother.

 

The truth behind this shady vampress has yet to be seen. Working alongside Ezekiel the Lynx, she spent many years attempting to control the Sunny Valley Zone by any evil means. The Underground Resistance consistently managed to foil her plans and, at one point, Rubia appeared to join the fight against Ezekiel. However, her sultry mannerisms and attractive appearance (which are not unlike Rouge's) are not to be trusted...

 

Rubia's partner in crime, this lynx doesn't appear to value 'companionship'. Intent on leaving the dire straits of the Sunny Valley Zone, as opposed to wanting to conquer it like he told Rubia, Ezekiel will even cross timezones to get his way.

 

This lucky robot 'accidentally' survived an overload of data provided by Dr. Robotnik (see the game, Sonic Battle) and is back to help others. Arriving at the Sunny Valley Zone, the Gizoid had the courage to help Sonic and save the inhabitants. He now stays there and helps whatever way he can. His unique ability is being able to copy his opponent's attack if it is used against him, so that Emerl can also use it in future. By training with Sonic and his friends, Emerl has developed a large arsenal of weapons, which could one day compromise thr freeodm of Mobius...

 

This cute little rabbit doesn't really have much purpose in The Mobian or the games. The daughter of Vanilla the Rabbit, wanted by Dr. Robotnik for unknown reasons, she is a peripheral member of the Freedom Fighters, often offering herself as a professional hostage. Her horrendously squeaky voice helps to ward enemies away, but also fends off potential friends.

 

Cream's pet Chao. Ironically, this cute critter has more of a character than Cream. For reasons unknown to everyone except Dr. Robotnik, Cheese's DNA was recombined with the DNA of Sonic the Hedgehog to create a hedgehog clone who could also harness the power of Chaos Energy. Cheese is also there to protect Cream most of the time, who she mercilessly throws into all manners of robots and aliens.

 

This badass character won The Mobian Sprite Comic a haul of gongs at the Third Spriters' Choice Awards at STCOSSCACC. Createdby, and to serve, Dr. Robotnik, Shadow quickly defected to learn the perils of the world. Gaining the trust of Sonic and the Freedom Fighters, Shadow's gradual decline involved mind control, fierce battles and cowardly killings. Shadow is still at large today, collecting the Chaos Emeralds in an attempt to find 'her. Nobody quite knows who 'she' is.

 

Created by Dr. Robotnik to emulate his own every move, his thooughts and the way he spoke, Commander Brutus was to be the metallic Robotnik who would lead the Special Badnik Service to ultimate victory. Unfortunately, sharing Robotnik's thoughts meant Brutus also had a desire to rule Mobius and no fat dictator was getting in his way. Coated in Megatal, the hardest metal on Mobius, the trooper stormed in and assumed ultimate control of Ivo and eventually went on to take his robotic army from under his feet. Only Super Sonic has been known to put any form of dent in this maniac's pride and armour.

 

There have been several depictions of this metallic version of the Blue Blur. He was originally created to stop Sonic from thwarting Robotnik's plans on the Miracle Planet. Seeing that he did a fairly good job of it, he constructed a whole army of them, intent on destroying Sonic for good. However, like Brutus, they developed a mind of their own and left the planet, slowly engulfing the whole universe with their sheer power. Some still exist under the posession of Retro Sicotte, who managed to re-program them, while Robotnik still has the original.

 

It's a metal form of Knuckles. After the first army of Metal soldiers failed, Robotnik moved onto a newer, more solid design. Unfortunately, losing the blueprints in time meant Robotnik could only build one, but it remained Robotnik's faithful servant until Brutus came back into the frame.

 

This wily weasel was a member of the Chaotix Crew, before the lure of money made him betray them for Metallix, the army of Metal Sonics. He now lives his life as a petty thief, wielding his gun at any old lady or shopkeeper he could bum a bit of spare change off. The knowledge that Rouge the Bat is a more talented thief than himself has seen him become more desperate.

 

The self-proclaimed girlfriend of Sonic, Amy may as well hire herself out as a professional hostage. Although she seems to be perfectly capable of defending herself with her skills of 'hammering' and archery, she seems to want to be captured so her hero can save the day.

 

Amy is only a peripheral character in The Mobian, only acting as a spare Freedom Fighter and only has relations with Sonic, Cream and Tekno.

 

A mysterious echidna who lived among the Megapolis Echidnas thousands of years in the past, Tikal seems to have a connection with time and this present generation. She managed to cease the terrible rampage caused by Chaos by sealing him in the Master Emerald and she also seemed to have a hand in preventing Shadow from destroying Angel Island when he manipulated time travel.

 

Tikal now has a worrying situation; somebody is looking for her and, occasionally, she turns to Sonic to bridge the gap between generations and 'protect' her from an unseen stalker.

 

This technology-adoring canary doesn't leave the safety of the Emerald Hill base much. Joining the Freedom Fighters after escaping the clutches of Robotnik's Badnik Processing Plant, she ceaselessly tries to gain the other Fighters' attention to make up for her troubled past. While working for Robotnik, she had worked alongside Nick the Dragon, but a raid carried out by Sonic and Tails saw Tekno run for her life and leave Nick to bear the full brunt. Some time later, Nick sought his revenge and paid her back the only way a perverted dragon can...

 

- The real star of the show, The Mobian would be nothing without little Archoeleus Pike. The fox originated from the Nameless Zone but was set off on a journey to Mobius after it was found that he (and his brothers) were deemed 'special'. Unfortunately, the trip from Nameless Zone to Mobius resulted in Arch losing his memory and the incredible intelligence bestowed upon him.

 

Arch spent his first few years travelling the planet, getting used to his surroundings. However, running out of funds saw him return to Metropolis City to live in the slums amongst the homeless and smelly. Fortunately, a chance meeting with a Private Investigator saw Arch set off on many pointless missions, including one to study the Chaos Emeralds on Angel Island...which was where Arch met Sonic.

 

Arch is one of the most optimistic organisms known to man, but also one of the most short-tempered. Lazy is also a word synonymous with him, but will jump right into action if his friends are in danger. In the couple of years he spent as Mayor of Metropolis, he learned responsibility and how to respect those close to him.

 

Big fat cat. With a frog. He recently took up a job as a postman when he found the Freedom Fighters didn't want him anywhere near them.

 

A trio that defends South Island from invaders attempting to cross through the Newfound Bridge Zone. They consist of Bunnee Rabbot (a semi-roboticised rabbit with a short temper), Antoine (a cowardly mulch who strongly depends upon his comrades) and Sally (a born leader with a never-say-die attitude). They have no friends outside their organisation, particularly not Robotnik.

 

A duck who always needs to be doing something, it's suspected he has a severe form of OCD but he persistently denies it. When he's not blowing things up with comedy bombs, he's babysitting his rather dumb friend, Bark the Polarbear.

 

 

 

A dim-witted, but kind-hearted old bear, Bark never likes to leave the side of his ol' buddy, Bean the Dynamite. Bark provides the physical prowess of the duo if ever a battle should break out.

 

What do you get if you throw together a member of the royal family, a particularly annoying type of insect and several litres of caffeine? Charmee Bee, that's what. This hyperactive bee originated from The Hive in the Special Zone and came across the Chaotix Crew on a routine scavenger hunt on Planet Meridian. They decided to hire Charmee when he proved his talents were air-to-ground scouting and he acted as their little brother figure. However, it quickly turned sour when they realised how annoying the little brat was and now they just can't get rid of him.

 

Inexplicably turned into a ninja, Espio is the most level-headed member of the Chaotix Crew. He combines his stealth tactics with his straight thinking to find the best plan for a particular mission. Unfortunately, leader Vector often completely ignores him and does whatever he wants. It doesn't help that Espio has a deep rivalry with Mighty and almost always gets into a fight with him whenever they're together.

 

He may have been forgotten by SEGA, but Mighty the Armadillo acts as the brawns in the Chaotix Crew. Quick to anger, he uses his fists before his noggin and often gets the crew into unnecessary skirmishes. Today, he resides with the Freedom Fighters after Sonic found him in a hospital. Nobody knows why he was there and he refuses to comment on his year-long adventure with a certain weasel...

 

Vector is one meeean croc. Since his youth he's put on shedloads of weight but his crime-solving skills are still second-to-none. When all else around him is decaying and one of his detective missions aren't going exactly to plan, Vector will continue to follow his plan to the end. Vector also enjoys pumping techno beats through his Walkman and chowing down on unsuspecting Meridian civilians...

 

A 'screen' made of a mixture of Chaos Energy and life energy, Omni acts as a portal between all space and time. He once helped Sonic defeat Robotnik when he first tok over Mobius, but now he works for the Chaotix Crew, transporting them on dangerous missions. There is also a red copy of him, an evil manifestation of this friendly entity. It was created by the Metallix to take them back in time but when their plan failed, the Pirate Omni went AWOL.

 

These deadly killers were once part of Robotnik's elite badnik army. After successive failures on the Doctor's part, the Eggrobos defected and went their own way. Now known as 'The Collection', they burst into the Special Zone and managed to claim the whole dimension as their own. Little is known about them now, as they rule the Special Zone in secret, so pesky vigilantes can't spoil their fun.

 

A crazed echidna found by Knuckles on the Floating Island, Zachary claimed to be one of the surviving Megapolis Echidnas. However, suspicion quickly arose as Megapolis echindas were red, so Knuckles was led to believe that he descended from the Windy Valley tribe and was nothing but an imposter. Events led to Zachary falling from the island but Robotnik found him and healed his wounds with machinery and made him his servant.

 

Now, after continued attempts to claim Angel Island as his own, Zachary moved his attentions to the Special Zone, unfortunately right before the Eggrobos claimed it as their own.

 

- This adventure-loving fox originated from the Nameless Zone but, like Arch, lost his memory when visiting Mobius. Unlike Arch, however, Retro was quickly taken into the arms of Team Dark where he resided as their chief programmer and battle planner. Retro was instrumental in the seizing of the Death Egg from Robotnik and he soon became the Commander of Team Dark when numbers in the group started to dwindle.

 

Retro has trained the muscles in his legs to jump incredible heights, particularly useful when fleeing from his old enemies, the Sergin Corporation. His powerful legs also deliver fatal blows to his adversaries, so he is feared the world over. Unfortunately, he is also known to be a bit accident-prone, so it isn't rare for him to fall down the stairs or walk right into a punjee pit without seeing it.

 

 - This echidna is another person to get easily angered with her short temper. What makes her more deadly is her Improbability Drive, which can turn any target into absolutely anything...from a powerful demon, to a small porcelain figurine!

 

Lakit is highly sarcastic towards sarcastic n00bs and very intolerant of her crew members when they don't follow an order to the letter. many Team Darkers, Retro especially, cower when she enters the room, cos she might be having 'one of those days'.

 

Once a peripheral member of Team Dark, Stu-Nik left the group when he just wasn't given the attention...the female attention, he craved. The natural progression was to join STC-O, a group of terrorists without a female in sight. Still, it gave him the chance to flex his missiles and make a name for himself. It's rumoured this warmonger was built by a certain Nick the Dragon, but it's yet ot be proved...

 

- This over-powered lump goes from one extreme to the other when it comes to emotion. He can be happy as larry one moment, then sobbing his eyes out all over the Death Egg carpet the next, quickly followed by acts of rage on his fellow Team Darkers.

 

Mobiusman doesn't get much attention from the others, so he volunteers himself for all the dangerous missions. One of those didn't end too happily...

 

- A soldier formerly working with Team Dark, he sold them out by telling GUN of TD's whereabouts and the benefits of claiming the Death Egg for themselves. X3 found out about the dastardly plan but a confrontation led to X3 getting owned. Spartan hasn't been seen since.

 

- Roberto is a total fox (no innuendo intended) but, for some reason, he dreams of being a robot. He admired Gemel, the evil Gizoid, so much that he built a replica of his armour and began to wear it everywhere. Retro and Lakit decided to use this fetish and crafted weapons and shields onto the armour. They then programmed the computer to allow Rob to summon the armour wherever he was, if he should need it at any time.

 

Rob's big weakness is beer. He opened a bar on the Death Egg, the Drunken Shredsy and even though he works there, he is its biggest customer. When Lakit went missing during a routine mission, Rob was there to console Retro and make sure kept his sanity.

 

- This 'insane Chaos enitity' acts as the Death Egg's power source. SSC resides within the core, only leaving the comfort of her power cell to go to the bathroom. After a couple of years, Team Dark have managed to siphon some of her energy off to store for later, so when she was captured by Shadow over a year ago, there was still enough energy left to start the search for her. Unfortunately, they still have no idea where to look.

 

- X3 is one grumpy son of a robot. Modelled in the shape of his idol, Espio the Chameleon, he constantly criticises his crewmates and spits profanities at girls in the street. During the Apocalypse, Lakit was quick to re-activate him as she felt they required his nasty tendencies. Either way, he still packs a punch with his sharp shurikens and his razor-sharp wit.

 

- This ruthless invertebrate has slowly lost his marbles over the years. Originally, Sin was a vital member of Team Dark, providing his l337 ninja skills to act as a stealth source in missions that needed it. Since he was knocked close to death on a routine mission to Citadel Robotnik, he started losing the ability to define friend and foe. He soon left Team Dark and founded a terrorist organisation, 'STC-O." Unfortunately, nobody told him terrorists weren't diplomatic people and he has applied to become the President of Mobius. Fortunately for the citizens, the Presidency battle seems to have been forgotten since Arch's departure...

 

Nobody knows what Sin's upto now. His insanity is building and his delusions are becoming frighteningly sicker. His sharp wit and even sharper tail are things to watch for in the future...

 

 

Blizzard isn't the type to enjoy being cooped up on the Death Egg so, after the 'transformation' of his brother, Sonicchimp, Blizzard has taken his time being lost from the Death Egg as an opportunity to travel the world. However, he's a team man at heart and will always inevitably be found tinkering with his Giant Badniks on the Death Egg's testing labs.

 

Doctor Robotnik once had a loyal assistant named Grimer, forever helping his master to rid the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, no matter how much torture he put him through. Inevitably, he defected from Robotnik's side, so the evil doctor rebuilt a robotic replacement to do the same job. Although it did everything Grimer could do, he wasn't as adept at escaping and was caught by Lakit, presumably destroying him in the process.

 

He's Team Dark's resident doctor. He's also a tin of spam. A German tin of spam. He's not a very good doctor either.

 

Something of an inconsistency, Ray the Flying Squirrel (who can't actually fly) appeared one issue as a Freedom Fighter. Later on, he reappeared when Sonic didn't want to take him on a mission. Since he's never been seen since, it's assumed Ray got the huff and left the Freedom Fighters. Either that, or he's a pretty boring character that SEGA did right to get rid of.

 

Typical ladies man, Adamis Pike was the fox around town who'd get a job done, whichever way he had to do it and whoever he needed to talk to get it done. He usually had a scheme or two which'd get some quick money but most of those plans were either stupid or plain dangerous. Best friend, Kekun, often didn't approve to his tactics.

 

More interesting is that he is the second eldest of the Brothers of Katek. Not happy when he found out who he was related to, he became STC-O's Battle Engineer and tried to get the terrorist association to kill his brothers. But, when a huge battle came to be between the two factions, plus the remaining members of Team Dark and the Drakons, Adamis realised that all this war was disgusting and sacrificed himself to end the fighting and return the land to how it was before the Apocalypse. It would seem Adamis was more special than people were led to believe and events continued as if he'd never lived in the first place...

 

Adamis' best friend, Kekun the Panda is the one of the duo that is more reserved and isn't as much into ladies and getting into dangerous situations. Ironically, it was Kekun that was more confident when they used to live in the Metropolis Slums and was the one gambling his life to get them out of there. Without Adamis around anymore, Kekun wastes his life away in one of the city's many bars and longs for a close friend again.

 

Another of the people to hail from the Metropolis Slums, Sarah is one of the few to still be living there since Mayor Arch's pledge to clean up the city. Funnily enough, Sarah was one of Arch's closest aides before leaving his position, doubling as a nurse and a PR advisor. Despite all this, she has no swanky house in city centre, instead making her day to day life respectable in a dingy pink house deep in the Slums. Her hard-nut casing, developed to fend off the leering drunks near her home, was almost completely shattered when she fell completely in love with Arch. However, since he left the city, Sarah now has no job and no close friends, so her situation is worsening.

 

Originally built as an evil clone of Emerl (much like Shadow was to Sonic) by Robotnik, Gemel was repaired by Tails and acted as a 'butler' for Cream and her mum, Vanilla. Unfortunately, something can't have been programmed right, for Gemel one day got a taste for Chaos Emeralds...

 

Regaining a stronger sense of 'self' than ever before, Gemel quickly seized one of Robotnik's old ships, the Wing Fortress and roughly threw together a 'crew', consisting of Hysteria, Shadow and an odd robot called 'Idiot Walker'. Gemel's ultimate goal was to gain the power of the Chaos Emeralds but he was also after a bit of revenge from when Sonic and Robotnik last defeated him (in Sonic Advance 2). This story never really had an end...it was a bad time for The Mobian...

 

- This crazy bag of bolts is a celebrity in his homeland, 'the Twisted World of Minicle' but people in Mobius merely seem his as a bit of an eccentric. His home for many years was on Pinnacle Island, an island completely created in MInicle's vision to commemorate his glorius film directing career and his devotion to robotics.

 

Since Team Dark's Omega was trashed by Sonic, Minicle decided he'd help Team Dark out. His in-built weaponary has proved useful on occasions and his ability of self-repair allowed him to rebuild himself after Shadow stormed the Death Egg. Self-proclaiming himself as the 'captain of the ship', Minicle is now dedicated to finding the remaining members of Team Dark and terrorising the world again.

 

- Entering the comic in a rather un-Hystie way, Hysteria was introduced as one of Gemel's evil-doing team. It seemed he had an ulterior motive for being there though, as Shadow and Gemel appeared to have his sister captive.

 

Since that story went down the pan, Hysteria was reunited with his old 'friend', Darkshine, and the opportunities to make money spiralled out of control. Reality TV shows, stunt doubles, the works. Hysteria really found his forté when he met Mayor Arch in the flesh, a truly remarkable day for the hedgehog. Since then, he never left his side until Arch left on a mission to Citadel Robotnik. A crisis occured while he was away and Hystie was left to escort hostages from Oil Ocean through to the Hill Top Zone. Unfortunately, the entourage was attacked by invading Drakons and Hysteria is presumed dead...

 

Money-making, devious, ruthless - the words that describe Darkshine and her schemes which often land her, Hysteria and sometimes his brother, Bliss, into deep trouble. Lately, she's been quite hard to get hold of and was oddly missing during Hysteria's 'funeral'. Since her behaviour was growing increasingly erratic before her disappearance, it can be suggested that she's 'up to something.'

 

The cool droid from the original Sonic the Comic comes to The Mobian to front the terrorist organisation, STC-O! With no money, Sin Scorpion enlisted the help of this friendly, but power-hungry robot to get the ball rolling in his favour. However, greed took over both sides of the agreement and Megadroid attempted to flee during a Drakon invasion. Unfortunately for him, during a confrontation with Arch, he was accidentally destroyed by Sin as he was hurled into MD by a Drakon.

 

A portly, yellow plumber with a striking resemblance to 'Mario Mario', Samface was inevitably picked on from a very early age. His answer to his bullies was to join the STC-O terrorists and exact his revenge. However, his fake Italian accent and attraction to emo music means he still has his fair share of bullies despite the power to destroy them all with a wide array of weapons.

 

Samface now works as a bouncer at a Metropolis bar. He was recently upgraded to 'Admin' status, though nobody really knows how special that is.

 

Before the appearance of this cast list, it was widely accepted that Jim was a male member of STC-O with his hard-hitting tactics and hatred of Sin Scorpion. It can now be revealed that 'Jim' is exactly a workaholic female working to gain control of STC-O, the most fearsome terrorist organisation never to have scared people. She often objected to Sin's plans and rather vocally tried to get other teammates to abandon Sin's ideals. Unfortunately, her plan backfired and everybody left STC-O altogether, leaving her to run a 1-person terrorist society.

 

Ashura's past is, presently, very ambiguous. The green-black Sonic look-alike was found to be aiding the Drakons in their first attempt to steal the Chaos Emeralds. When the Drakon leader was told by Ashura that the Emeralds were nowhere to be found on the island, he cast Ashura from his kingdom like he was waste paper.

 

Now, Ashura waits for his revenge. He started out killing regular Drakon Sentinels with his mechanical arm and demonic powers, but now he occasionally works with Shadow to conjure up a plan capable of getting all the revenge he needs, plus excess. Ashura also has the power to morph into people he's met before briefly and his claim to fame is kidnapping SSC from Team Dark and keeping her hidden for well over a year.

 

An inquisitive chap, Daniel Baxter was employed by Sin to track the actions of the mysterious Ashura after he cropped up on CCTV many times. Dan, though dedicated to his job, is much more dedicated to his employer and is always willing to put Sin's comfort in front of his task. Fuelling Sin's ego, it became inevitable that Dan Baxter's mission wouln't be completed any time soon.

 

The head honcho of the Drakon Empire, Ed Reynolds is the Drakon Prosecutor in charge when it comes down to invasions and the running of his army. A very greedy fish, he wasn't content with capturing the Floating Island, he preceeded to help Aeon the Hedgehog with several dastardly plans and continues to mess with Shadow's head. Both very bad ideas.

 

Blizzard's brother (though you wouldn't think to look at him), this monkey has a rather annoying habit of bugging someone to their absolute limit, often invoking murderous thoughts. He doesn't mean it of course, his highly inquisitive nature and his thirst for acceptance within Team Dark means he tries to get everywhere and that usually involves up people's noses. However, Lakit tired of his ways and turned him into a giant capsule filled with tiny monkeys. With Lakit's death, it isn't known whether the action will soon be reversed or he'll be lost forever. Stay tuned!

 

This fox has a good nature and wants to be a hero like his idol, Sonic the Hedgehog. When Brutus' robots made an appearance in Metropolis City, Rory decided to make a stand and headed off to fight them. He was quickly overpowered but saved by one of Robotnik's stray badniks. His gratitude was repayed by the badnik when he ripped off Rory's head, impaling it one of his spikes and wore it around as a trophy. It isn't known if the head is still there.

 

This son of a bitch was the stray badnik that saved Rory from Brutus' forces. Rory said he'd give him anything for saving him, so SOB stole his head. Since SOB is currently wandering free, it is likely that someone'll see again at some point.

 

For some reason, his family name is identical to the strongest metal known on Mobius, but that means nothing. Heavy is quite a soft character, with no evil intentions in his body. However, on a carefree flight across the skies of Mobius, he was chased by a random demon and was quickly saved by Team Dark. He happened to appear while Team Dark were searching for SSC2 and was dragged in. Shadow ultimately took advantage of Heavy's soft side, turning into his most loyal servant through mind control and still wanders Mobius today.

 

Heavy resided in the Emerald Hill Zone before these events occured. His best friends, Sandra and Hyperdude, still not truly know what happened to him, although they witnessed his new destructive powers while looking for him in the Metropolis Zone. His original wish was to be a computer programmer after studying at Metrpolis University, but his, now huge, criminal record will probably prevent this. 

 

It's a vending machine...with demonic tendencies. She (yes, the machine is a girl) has a few favourites among Team Dark, where she resides, but more often than not finds a reason to cause great pain among those that try to dispense her goods (particularly Retro).

 

Once an ordinary Chao on the planet of Chao, 'Chaoland', Chaolin was upgraded to 'Chao of all Chao' when Shadow realised he could be much more than an ordinary Chao. So, upon Shadow's arrival on Chaoland, he made Chaolin his apprentice Chao and gave him authority that no other Chao had ever witnessed.

 

Now, with Shadow elsewhere, Chaolin is a target for hobos and chavs the planet over, realising he isn't any more special than the rest of them. Chaolin may, or may not, stil be alive.

 

(The word 'Chao' will hopefully not be anywhere else on this page from now)

 

Shadow's personal computer on Chaoland. For some reason, this hologram had a tendency to get naked when he wasn't being all evil and such. Tricked Lakit, Mobiusman and Heavy into thinking he was real until they found out they'd been captured by an optical illusion. Embarrassment (and deatj) ensued.

 

One of the 2 highest-ranked soldiers in GUN (Guardian Unit of Nations). Ramos presents the good-natured side of this 'peace-keeping' force and is good friends with Arch and his cohorts. His slight inability to see true evil when it's staring at him over a conference table often leads to him being easily duped, but when he finds out any wrong-doings have occured, he'll fight to the death to ensure justice is restored.

 

Currently Doctor Robotnik's second-in-command. When Robotnik was booted out of his base by his own creation, Commander Brutus, he was left with no robotics and no money whatsoever. Luckily, a hedgehog named HMS (his full name has never bene revealed) had followed Robotnik's fortunes in the news for years and always wished to be by his side. Seeing this as a perfect oppurtunity, he convinced Robotnik to let him work with him and brought his engineering abilities with him.

 

HMS is now the head of Robotnik's massive robot army. The two of them have been in hiding for some time, HMS only appearing briefly to convince Rouge to work for them. Something is going on...

 

HMS' childhood friend and now his assistant. Bolt has a complete misunderstanding of the word 'authority' and, although he works for HMS, he refuses to acknowledge him as 'Sir' or 'Boss', preferring words such as 'baby' and 'dude'. Contrary to this, Bolt is not gay. He is, however, missing from HMS' side, but the hedgehog seems to care little.

 

The evil doppleganger of General Ramos, so to speak. Both as hghly-ranked as each other but with completely different agendas, Osako seems to be obsessed with war. Comparable to 'The Commander' in SEGA's 'Shadow the Hedgehog' game, Osako currently has a bone to pick with Shadow, possibly due to the fact he slaughtered almost all of Osako's men on an invasion trip to the Death Egg. He also has a grudge against Sonic, though it isn't obvious why yet.

 

Osako prefers to take robots (formerly belonging to Robotnik) with him on missions, as they are more loyal and more robust than the human troops Ramos depends on.

 

The most well-known face on TV thanks to Metropolitan National News (MNN), Bliss Sunburn often leaps into danger and confronts it without even realising. A true blonde, even though she has naturally purple hair, she doesn't seem to notice the perils of undercover reporting or charging through a battlefield until she's told afterwards that she nearly died. Bliss is also the sister of Hysteria, but she prefers to keep that quiet, with the eccentric reputation Hysteria has.
