Nine

Nine: Tails' counterpart from New Yoke City who built himself seven addition mechanical tails after being constantly bullied for his twin tails. He is originally a reluctant ally of Sonic's, later becoming his enemy with plans to use the Paradox Prism to build his own ideal reality.

Roleplay: ["Sonic Prime is an animated television series based on the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series, co-produced by Sega of America, Netflix Animation, WildBrain Studios and Man of Action Entertainment. It is the sixth animated television series based on the franchise. During a battle with Dr. Eggman, Sonic shatters the Paradox Prism, a crystalline artifact with reality-bending powers, which drastically warps reality and creates the "Shatterverse", a new section of the multiverse with five alternative dimensions called "Shatterspaces", each of them formed by one of the Prism shards and inhabited by alternative versions of Sonic's friends (Tails, Knuckles, Amy Rose, Rouge and Big), but lack their own versions of him. Sonic first ends up in New Yoke City, a futuristic dystopian version of Green Hill ruled by a group of Eggman variants who call themselves the Chaos Council, who used their realm's shard to conquer it with ease. Even worse, they seek to extend their reach and conquer the entire Shatterverse after learning of its existence through Sonic by getting their hands on all five shards, but are opposed by him and a resistance formed by denizen versions of his friends. While seeking to reassemble the Prism and restore his reality, which has been rendered into the dull and lifeless Ghost Hill by the shattering, Sonic ventures to other Shatterspaces to retrieve the shards before the council, including the Boscage Maze, a jungle world with feral versions of his pals; the No Place, a flooded world with pirate versions; and the Grim, a barren wasteland. Later, Sonic's rival Shadow, who managed to avoid the warping through Chaos Control, also reluctantly agrees to help him. Once the Chaos Council's plans for domination begin to put the Shatterverse in jeopardy, the natives of each world join the war against them and work with their counterparts."] Character Name: Tails Nine (Sonic Prime) Full Name: Miles Prower Nicknames:

• Traits: Nine is a troubled kid who suffered from years of bullying without the support of a Sonic. Despite having the capacity for good deeds, he is not particularly reliable due to having his own personal agenda and living in an "idealistic safe space." Being an outcast for a long time has made him bitter and cynical, causing him to isolate himself and react aggressively, resorting to violence when he feels threatened. He also possesses a dry sense of humor.

The prominent aspect of Nine's personality is his likeness to the part of Tails that enjoys working alone in the lab. While the original Tails was a little shy of strangers, Nine has become someone who is introverted and avoids physical contact. Growing up in solitude has led Nine to believe that he must prioritize his own well-being over everything because no one else will, resulting in his opportunistic nature.

However, despite these traits, Nine still retains elements of Tails. After Sonic saves his life and becomes his friend, Nine gradually opens up and genuinely values Sonic's opinion of him and cares for his well-being. He even joins forces with Sonic and the Resistance to fight against the Chaos Council, ultimately helping them win the battle.

Although Nine has lost the youthful happiness that Tails exudes, he still possesses bravery. He frequently challenges Sonic with his sarcastic remarks, takes part in fights without hesitation, and confronts the Chaos Council boldly while being held captive.

When Sonic tries to impose his perception of Tails onto Nine, it shatters his trust in Sonic. Consequently, he becomes even more embittered, believing that he can only rely on himself. He realizes that even his only "friend" cannot be trusted.

Character traits: Nine, unlike his variants, is a rogue ridden in sadness and solitude after years of constant bullying. He thus lives under New Yoke City in an attempt to avoid others and developed seven mechanical tails in an attempt to battle those who'd hurt him. Growing up with no friends, he did not react kindly to meeting a version of Sonic, who claims to have saved him from bullies before and to be his friend.

Biography: Nine is an alternate version of Tails who was never rescued by Sonic the Hedgehog from the bullies that teased him for having an extra tail. Nine remained a target of ridicule for a long time until he made seven additional tails to defend himself against his tormentors. Since then, he has only looked out for himself and stayed away from crowds, preferring the solitude of his workshop. One day, Nine is followed by Sonic back to his workshop upon being spotted walking through New Yoke City. The hedgehog acts familiar with him, claiming he was his buddy, but Nine believed Sonic to be a spy and tries to attack him with his mechanical tails. Although he managed to throw the intruder out of his workshop, Nine continued his assault until Sonic saved him from being hit by an incoming train and they shared their recounts of the past to one another. Nine noticed that Sonic possessed a mysterious energy that he had difficulty controlling and decided to construct a few devices for him that would help regulate the energy. He then tried to stop Sonic from drawing the attention of the Chaos Council searching for him when they are both caught by Dr. Babble and taken to meet with the council's other members. Nine is placed in handcuffs and monitored by two Eggforcers as the Chaos Council decided to test the limits of Sonic's power. During their experiment, the energy Sonic emitted soon began to overload the council's equipment, which confirmed to Nine that it was the same energy powering the city before Renegade Knucks and Rebel Rouge appeared to rescue them. Nine uses a nearby terminal to free Sonic and himself from their binds while also hacking into Rusty Rose to control her actions. However, instead of escaping, the group went to obtain the Paradox Prim shard that supplied New Yoke City and most of the council's robots with energy. Nine and Sonic managed to reach the shard as the others fought back pursuing Eggforcers and Mr. Doctor Eggman. But when Sonic disappears upon touching the stone, Nine decides to take it and abandon the rebels rather than help them escape the Chaos Council. For the next few weeks, Nine researched the Paradox Prim Shard and from it created a vehicle that could travel to different worlds using the shard's energy. He eventually discovered a world called The Grim which was practically barren and believed he would be able to use the prim shards to transform it into his own ideal world. Nine would briefly return to his world when Sonic reappeared in New Yoke City and took him back to The Grim where the fox explained how he planned to remake the world Sonic lost. He also expressed no desire in going back to New Yoke City when Sonic tried to convince him to help the rebels fight the Chaos Council, stating that his life in the city had only caused him misery. However, he did open a portal leading back to the location if Sonic wanted to assist them. Sonic told Nine that he hoped to see him reconsider before stepping through the portal and leaving Nine alone to dwell on his words. He ultimately decided to go and help the rebels but intended to continue his work at The Grim once the battle has finish. Unfortunately, Nine was captured by the Chaos Council who sought to use his knowledge of the Paradox Prim shards to dominate multiple realities. He was forced to help them send Rusty Rose and a number of Eggforcers to a world called No Place to stop Sonic from collecting another shard. However, Nine convinced the council to spare Sonic's life as the energy inside of him could be used to further their research into inter-dimensional travel.

• Powers and abilities: Nine can use his two organic tails to fly, exactly as his mainstream counterpart does, but because his two organic tails are weaker, he also uses his seven mechanical tails for this matter. However, it is shown in the Season 3 teaser that he is capable of using just his organic tails to fly as well. Like his mainstream counterpart, Nine is a genius, but he is even more focused on science than his more carefree counterpart. He is also an excellent hacker, capable of hacking even the Chaos Council's own tech. Nine is also capable of manipulating tricky situations to his advantage. Nine was able to discover a way to use the Prism Shard to enter what he dubbed the Shatterverse, a feat only Sonic had formerly been capable of, by creating a special ship with a tech he calls a Shatter Drive to make portals in order to travel into the alternate dimensions. Though Nine admits that the Shatter Drive tech is still in development, this is especially notable as the technology involved is beyond what the Chaos Council are capable of or even thought possible, and thus required them to capture Nine so as to make him personally equip their technology with such capabilities.
• Genius-level intellect: With his high IQ, Nine managed to create seven extra operational arms to fend off his foes with.

Equipment: Nine has seven mechanical tails, which he uses in combat to defend himself, but can also use them to scuttle along walls and uneven surfaces like a spider, and to type on a keyboard in place of his hands and has even used them to hold juice while he builds his inventions. He also sits on them and uses them like a chair.

• Mechanical Tails: Nine managed to create seven extra operational arms to fend off his foes with.

Relationships with Sonic the Hedgehog: "Why do you think I live down here? To avoid everyone... you included." — Nine, "Shattered" Nine did not have the best first encounter with Sonic the Hedgehog, mistaking him for an enemy and attacking him. However, upon being saved by the hedgehog from a train, the fox softened up to him. Afterwards, Nine allies himself with Sonic by giving him technology which enhanced his shoes and gloves and asking for nothing in return, although he also often grows annoyed with Sonic’s recklessness and often makes snarky remarks towards him.[1] He was also deeply concerned when Sonic was dragged into the Prism Shard and understood that it was not Sonic's fault.

By the time they meet again in The Grim, Nine immediately saves Sonic from the trouble he was in against the Chaos Council, and helps him battle the Chaos Council. Soon after, he brings Sonic to an empty dimension and proposes they can use Prism Energy to start a new, better universe. When Sonic expressed a desire to help the rebels in New Yoke City first, Nine is disappointed, but does not force him to stay, and then returns to aid him despite claiming he wouldn't. After being captured by the Chaos Council, Nine manages to convince them not to kill Sonic. Nine was steamed because the Council want to torture Sonic when they capture him.

After being rescued and brought to Ghost Hill to restore the Paradox Prism, Nine reveals there is a fifth shard and he never intended to use the Prism to restore Green Hill but use it to transform the Grim Shatterspace into the home he wants. Sonic tries to convince him otherwise, but they argue about how Sonic just jumps into situations with no idea of the outcome, assuming Nine would go along with anything he wanted like the original Tails and never considering what Nine wanted or what would happen to Nine and the rest of the Shatterverse once his reality was fixed. In the end, Nine betrays Sonic and takes the Prism Shards to the Grim alone, deciding the only person he can trust is himself. Relationships with Rebel Rouge and Renegade Knucks: Rebel Rouge and Renegade Knucks rescued Sonic and Nine from the Chaos Council. They form a quick bond, as they all work together to fight the Eggforcers and find the red Shard. When Rebel, Knucks, and Rusty Rose are trapped by the Council, they expect Nine to help them, but are disappointed when they see him leaving them behind instead. Since then, both Rebel and Knucks always speak of him as a traitor, often calling him Sonic's "traitor fox friend". Relationships with Sails Tails and Mangey Tails: When Nine encountered Sails and Mangey, he was surprised to see alternate versions of himself when Sonic was trying to acquire enough speed to get to the void. Relationships with Miles "Tails" Prower: When seeing his stuck mainstream counterpart in Ghost Hill, Nine comments that they are nothing alike. Relationships with Shadow the Hedgehog: Shadow the Hedgehog thought Nine could not be trusted when he tried to warn Sonic, as it turned out he was correct because Shadow was visibly angry when Nine betrayed them.

Trivia:

• Nine could be inspired by the kitsune, or fox spirits, from Japanese folklore, who possess many tails. - Additionally, his name is also a reference to these creatures if changing the order of the name. - Presumably, in-universe "Nine" is his nickname instead of "Tails," with him still being Miles Prower.
• Despite featuring seven robotic tails in Sonic Prime and in-game (making Nine have a grand total of nine tails), on his official render from Sonic Forces: Speed Battle, Tails Nine is incorrectly depicted with only six robotic tails, thus looking like he's 1 robotic tail short - It is possible that the seventh is simply behind one of his natural tails.
• Tails Nine's stats in Sonic Forces: Speed Battle are all the number nine, which is a pun on his name.
• In the Latin Spanish dub, Nine is called like in English, but in episodes six through eight, his name was translated to "Nueve" (which means "Nine" in Spanish). - However, after the release of the series, those same episodes, his name got redubbed changing his name back to "Nine".
• Tails Nine is what Miles could've become if he never met Sonic.
• Tails Nine's status as a guile hero could change in season 3 of Sonic Prime, due to having betrayed Sonic at the end of season 2. Although no longer friends with Sonic, Nine is still a neutral character by the end of the finale.
• Nine's design is likely based on the Japanese yokai, the kitsune, or fox spirits. These are fox-like spirits that possess multiple tails, like Nine does.
• Unlike his Prime counterpart, this version of Tails views the nickname as an insult, as a result of never learning to embrace the two tails of flight he already had thanks to Sonic.
• He will face Pooh and pals alongside Joey in Pooh's Adventures of Sonic Prime where he will be granted the Doom Geats buckle by Michinaga Azuma to become Kamen Rider Doom Geats.
