Full name: Shadow the Hedgehog Gender: Male Age: 50+ Height: 100 cm Species: Artificial Hedgehog Mobian/Black Arms Likes: Maria Robotnik, Gerald Robotnik, Team Dark, Solitude, Black Coffee, Doing things his way, Fulfilling Maria's wish, Protecting Earth, Beating Sonic Dislikes: Fools, Anyone who opposes him, Dr. Eggman, Maria's death, Deception, When others insult him, When someone gets in his way, Sonic's stubbornness and cockiness, Taking orders from others, Running away from a battle, Wasting time, Losing, Black Doom and Black Arms Shadow is a black-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog with red eyes, fangs, a patch of white fur on his chest, a black nose, a tan muzzle and small and triangular ears with tan canals. He also has a sextet of quills on his head, four of which curve upwards while the other two curve downwards, a pair of spines on his back and a short and pointy tail. He has red stripes on each of his head quills, around the edges of his eyes and on his arms and legs.

For attire, Shadow wears white gloves with black cuffs and red tongues, and Air Shoes which, like his gloves, have black cuffs and red tongues. Shadow also wears Limiter Rings, one on each of his wrists and ankles. Being, in many ways, Sonic's polar opposite, Shadow has a much more reserved and colder disposition. He usually acts with a cool indifference, rarely showing his vulnerable side. He is seldom seen with others for an extended period of time and usually distances himself from everyone whom he does not trust. He is usually blunt and rarely bluffs; if he makes a threat, he has every intention of carrying it out.

As one of the more violent characters in the series at times, Shadow's ruthlessness and aggression lead to his enemies never treating him lightly. Alongside his often dark demeanor, Shadow can be arrogant and stubborn. He usually treats others in a very callous manner, throwing in his opinion no matter how cold-hearted it is and caring little for the response. Shadow is also shown to have a sharp wit; during the Space Colony ARK incident, after being called a faker by Sonic, he replied that the latter was not worth being considered his fake.

Shadow is a rather conflicted character, often experiencing painful flashbacks and still deeply affected by his troubled past. On one occasion, during the Space Colony ARK incident, seeing police sirens triggered an intense flashback to Maria's death. Even prior to the events of the ARK raid, Shadow demonstrated some degree of self-doubt, most notably expressing frustration over how, despite being created as the Ultimate Lifeform as a means to cure various maladies, he is still unable to help his friend Maria, questioning whether he has a place on the planet. Similarly, largely because of his creation involving Black Doom, Shadow during this time showed signs of self-loathing, seeing himself as no better than any other Black Arm. Shadow was soon able to overcome this in the Black Arm and Emerl Incidents, during which he chose to move on from the past while continuing to keep Maria in his heart. Despite still being weighed by his past, Shadow has chosen to confront it, not forgetting what he has experienced, but refusing to let it hold him back or stop him from fulfilling Maria's final wish to help humanity.

Shadow originally had disdain for humanity, being a misanthrope, but rarely attacked them outright, merely looking at them as a distant observer. During the events of the Space Colony ARK incident, Shadow was planning to destroy the planet both ordered by Gerald Robotnik through brainwashing, and as revenge for the death of his only friend, Maria Robotnik. Shadow eventually moves past his hatred for humanity by remembering his promise to Maria. Later on, Shadow decided to protect humanity and those on earth to honor Maria's dying wish despite their original misgivings. Now, Shadow has moved on from the past and decided to protect humanity on his own accord. He does, however, have some lingering guilt over Maria's death, to the extent that he at least once came close to having intrusive visions of a scenario where Maria didn't die before reminding himself that chance ended a long time ago.

In Shadow's own words, he is not interested in peace, nor does he care about what happens to others. In truth, he simply does not like it when foolish people do whatever they please. While this may make it seem like Shadow stands firmly in opposition to villainy, he is actually very indiscriminate about who he faces, as he chooses to stand against anyone who he condemns for being "foolish", be they villains like Dr. Eggman or heroes like Sonic. He similarly does not want thanks for the help he provides when he does something heroic, believing that showing gratitude is a waste of time. However, the grim and uncaring disposition he puts on is not entirely accurate considering the lengths he goes to save others including even sacrificing his own life. In contrast to his words, Shadow acts in a way that ultimately protects others. Deep down, he cares about those around him, only hiding his more caring side to keep himself shielded and distant. He is still shaken by the death of Maria, which is mostly why he keeps to himself; he does not want to become close to anyone else for fear of losing them like he did Maria. Despite his apathetic nature, he does feel sympathy for others, and since reforming himself at the end of the Space Colony ARK incident, he has fought for the greater good, most noticeably to prevent letting other people experience past tragedies, specially the ones that he has been through. Due to being given a "soul" identical to Maria's, he is afraid of his power and has never used it recklessly or to cause suffering. Once, he also saw himself as a weapon since he was created as one, thus causing him to believe that he and other weapons would eventually have to be destroyed to achieve world peace.

Shadow was often depressed about the loss of Maria, which is why he keeps to himself, but his relationship with her is obvious as he goes to great lengths to protect the planet and keep her dream of peace and prosperity alive. He also maintains a strong bond with his teammates, Rouge and Omega, proving that while his attitude makes him seem like a careless person, he does have compassion, more than he otherwise lets on. Still, Shadow brushes off most kindness or sympathy that is sent his way; during the Neo Metal Sonic incident, when Rouge showed concern for Shadow when he saw a broken android of himself, suspecting Team Dark's Shadow might be an android too, Shadow curtly brushed her concern away. During the Black Arms incident, after Sonic suggested some "friendly competition", Shadow bluntly rejected his offer.[47] At times, however, Shadow is shown to appreciate genuine care; at the climax of the Space Colony ARK incident, after Amy Rose made him remember his promise to Maria, Shadow openly decided to keep his promise to protect the planet both to Maria and her. Another instance is during the aborted Solaris incident, when Rouge told him that she would always be by his side, he acknowledged her. Being the Ultimate Lifeform, Shadow is given high physical strength, speed and combat skills that can rival Sonic. He uses his Air Shoes, shoes with jet engines, to move as fast as Sonic and he can use them to hover from the ground.

Owning to his "ultimate life form" physiology, Shadow possesses an immortal body, meaning he does not age and cannot be killed. He also boasts considerable intelligence and is capable of independent problem-solving, being estimated to have an IQ of 200. Being created as a cure, Shadow has a natural resistance to disease and was able to maintain contact with the Zombot virus for an extended period of time before getting infected. Furthermore, due to being partly Black Arms, Shadow has a connection to the Black Arms' hive-mind, allowing him to sense his kind's presence and be immune to the Black Arms' body-paralyzing nerve gas.

Shadow is naturally able to tap into the arcane powers of Chaos Emeralds and can use many techniques from them. His most well-known technique is Chaos Control, where he uses the chaos energy in a Chaos Emerald to control time and space. Shadow often uses Chaos Control for stopping time and teleporting.

His other Chaos Powers includes Chaos Spear (a spear projectile made from chaos energy), Chaos Snap (Short range teleportation) and Chaos Blast. (A strong burst of chaos energy emitting from Shadow's body)

Shadow is skilled with riding various vehicles (like bikes, buggies, alien mechs and gliders) and using multiple types of weapons. (Like pistols, cannons and bazookas)

Shadow wears his Limiter Rings for most of the time. These rings limits the powers Shadow can unleash. Once he removes his rings, Shadow can use his full power, although he can tire out quickly when he use his powers while his rings are off.

During the Time Eater incident, Shadow was forcibly infused by Black Doom with the Doom Powers, genetic mutations of its Black Arms DNA, that granted him new abilities and an increase in power. With just three of these abilities, Shadow could defeat Metal Overlord alone when Super Sonic, Super Tails, and Super Knuckles were needed to defeat him, implying that with just three of these abilities, his power was already elevated enough to rival that of three Super States. Eventually, once he had acquired all of the Doom Powers, Shadow became more powerful than he already was, allowing him to defeat Black Doom in his evolved state of Neo Devil Doom. However, with Doom's defeat, Shadow lost the Doom Powers, reverting to his normal state.

Shadow's Doom Powers includes Doom Wings (Shadow grows wings to fly), Doom Surf (Shadow creates a manta ray-like creature to surf on water), Doom Morph (Shadow turns into an octopus-like creature that can travel across Corruption-infused surfaces with his tentacles), Doom Spears (Shadow launches Doom-enhanced Chaos Spears) and Doom Blast. (Shadow launches enemies faraway with his kick)

When Shadow uses the power of the 7 Chaos Emeralds, he can turn into Super Shadow, where hie black fur turn yellow. In this form, Shadow gains flight and invincibility and his chaos energy are increased to its full limits. However, if he runs out of energy in this state, he'll revert back to his base form in a tired state. </Powers and Abilities>

Fifty years ago, Shadow was created on the Space Colony ARK by Gerald Robotnik, and grew up there alongside the professor's ailing granddaughter, Maria. Gerald created Shadow to be the Ultimate Life Form as part of the secretive Project Shadow.

Project Shadow is a project led by Gerald, which is a scientific project with goals of finding clues to immortality. Gerald's main goal is the create the immortal Ultimate Lifeform so he can study it to find a cure for his granddaughter Maria's incurable sickness.

At first, Gerald created the Biolizard, which is a prototype of the Ultimate Lifeform, however, due to its unstability, Gerald deemed Biolizard a failure and sealed it inside ARK. Later on, Gerald met Black Doom, the leader of the Black Arms aliens, who gave him his own cells to complete the Ultimate Lifeform. Gerald was able to use Black Doom's cells to successfully create Shadow. Gerald imparted the hedgehog with a heart and personality similar to that of Maria in the hopes that he would not become a weapon. Gerald also became suspicious of Black Doom, knowing that he wanted to conquer the world one day, so he built the Eclipse Cannon in the ARK with its purpose being destroying Black Comet, the base of Black Arms, it case it comes to Earth again.

During his time in ARK, Shadow befriended Maria and they became best friends. Maria designed the Limiter Rings and Air Shoes for him. Shadow began to ponder his purpose in life while Maria wants to go to Earth since she spend most of her life in the ARK due to her sickness.

One day, the G.U.N. organization became afraid of Project Shadow and its possible dangers, so they sent a troop of soldiers to Ark so they can destroy everything related to Project Shadow, capture Shadow and arrest Gerald. Maria ran away with Shadow to find an escape pod. However, when Maria got Shadow into his escape pod, she was fatally shot by a soldier. In her dying breaths, she told Shadow to give all the people on Earth a chance to be happy.

Shadow's pod was eventually recovered by G.U.N., and the hedgehog was sent in suspended animation to Prison Island, where Gerald was forced to continue his research under government supervision. Having gone insane with grief after learning of his granddaughter's death, Gerald began secretly brainwashing Shadow, modifying his memories so he believed he was meant to destroy humanity. Gerald also secretly kept a diary of his experience, in which he encouraged anyone who found it to release Shadow, should they desire mass destruction. Soon after, Gerald was incarcerated and executed, while Shadow was kept sealed away on the island.

50 years later after he was sealed in Prison Island., Shadow's pod was found by Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, who is Gerald's grandson and Maria's cousin. Eggman set Shadow free from his pod, In exchange, Shadow agreed to aid the doctor in his plans to take over the world, holding to himself his true intentions as wishing to get revenge for the death of his friend, Maria Robotnik, as he thought she wanted. To achieve this, the black hedgehog revealed the Eclipse Cannon to the scientist. Beforehand, he also stole the green Chaos Emerald from a bank, unknowingly also framing Sonic the Hedgehog for the deed.

During their operations, Shadow and Eggman met Rouge the Bat, a female jewel thief bat, who offers to help them in their missions.

He later participated in the second heist alongside Dr. Eggman and Rouge the Bat against Prison Island, where he would plant explosives throughout the island as part of their getaway, although his resemblance to Sonic also resulted in Amy Rose mistaking him for the latter. However, because Miles "Tails" Prower came to Amy's rescue from Dr. Eggman, he was forced to act fast due to the unexpected delay. In addition, after Rouge ended up getting caught and stranded in the containment area while recovering the four Chaos Emeralds, Shadow, largely because he realized that his plans of avenging Maria Robotnik would be for naught if Rouge perished in the explosion, rushed to get to Rouge and by extension the Chaos Emeralds.

After meeting Sonic for a second time, Shadow also believed that Sonic was trying to copy him. They fought to a stalemate before Shadow was forced to leave to rescue Rouge (with Sonic also learning from Eggman via Shadow's radio that the island was about to blow up), and just barely arrived at Rouge's location and used Chaos Control to warp himself, Rouge, the four Chaos Emeralds and presumably Eggman out at the last possible second. After the demonstration, needing the final Chaos Emerald to fulfill their plans, Shadow pursued Tails' plane at a canyon. Although he was unable to stop them, he nonetheless reported to Eggman that they are headed his way. When Eggman discovered the presence of two apparent emerald readings, and thus deduced Tails' plan of placing a fake Chaos Emerald into the cannon, Shadow wordlessly departed, apparently to confront Sonic and Tails to stop them for interfering, although Eggman stopped him, wanting to deal with them personally. After Sonic was seemingly killed by Dr. Eggman via a rigged escape capsule, Shadow, witnessing the explosion, guessed that Sonic was only an ordinary hedgehog.

Afterwards, Shadow stumbled upon Rouge's plan to steal the Chaos Emeralds, and deduced that she was in fact a spy for the President of the United Federations, although Rouge then unveiled a report from Gerald Robotnik regarding the Biolizard, claiming, it, not Shadow, was the actual Shadow. However, Shadow was forced to depart after Eggman mentioned an anonymous figure (Sonic) heading towards the Eclipse Cannon, although not before stating that he's still Shadow despite his memories possibly being fake, and that "the fake emerald is good enough for Rouge." He then discovers Sonic the Hedgehog at the area. Shadow, impressed at Sonic's capability of using Chaos Control despite using a fake Chaos Emerald, nonetheless stated that he cannot allow him to live before fighting on a collapsing runway. In the last story, Eggman inserted the final Chaos Emerald, only to initiate a destabilization program on the ARK. Professor Gerald Robotnik then revealed that he had made this function to have revenge for Maria, and that the ARK would destroy the Earth. Sonic, Eggman, Rouge, Tails and Knuckles took a shortcut to the cannon's core so they could stop the Professor's mad plan.

Amy Rose then helped Shadow realize Maria's true wish. In a twist of fate, Shadow ultimately aided Sonic when realizing, with Amy's help, Maria's true wish, which was to save humanity. Meanwhile, Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles had reached the central core, where they reactivated the Biolizard. Notably, a scene from Gerald Robotnik's diary appeared again. After Shadow defeated the Biolizard, Knuckles used the Master Emerald to stop the Chaos Emeralds. But the Biolizard, being the prototype of Project Shadow, used Chaos Control to fuse with the ARK, continuing its fall. Then, Sonic and Shadow, in their Super States, destroyed the Biolizard. The Ultimate Lifeform prototype became a monster, codenamed Finalhazard. Using their powers, Shadow and Sonic defeated him and executed an enhanced Chaos Control which stopped the fall and warped the ARK. Afterwards, Shadow's energy was drained out and after falling to the Earth, he was presumed dead.

After his battle with Biolizard, Shadow fell towards Earth but was rescued by Eggman's robots, to which they put Shadow inside a healing capsule. Rouge, however stumbled upon Shadow's capsule when she's infiltrating one of Eggman's bases. As she activated the capsule, E-123 Omega, the last of the E-Series robots creatted by Eggman and was also sealed in the base, began to scan Rouge and the newly awakened Shadow, believing him to be a creation of Eggman. As Shadow awakened, Omega fired a round of guns at Shadow and Rouge. Shadow ordered Rouge to step away while he took on Omega, but Rouge stepped in to break them up, quickly ending the skirmish. Shadow discovered that he has amnesia and could not remember anything before his release, aside from his name and brief images of Maria Robotnik's death. He unwillingly joined forces with Rouge and Omega, to form Team Dark and find Eggman.

In the end of their quest, Team Dark discovered that the "Eggman" they're fighting is actually Metal Sonic disguising himself as the doctor and was planning to conquer the world himself. Shadow and Team Dark joined Sonic and his friends to defeat Metal Sonic.

After the Metal Sonic incident, while being haunted by the thoughts of his past memories, Shadow witnessed an alien race known as the Black Arms arriving on earth to invade, where the leader of the race, Black Doom appeared before him through Doom's Eye and told him to bring him the Chaos Emeralds "as promised" before disappearing. Fueled with the desire to seek out his past and find the truth behind Doom's words in hopes of uncovering his past, the black hedgehog went off to find the Emeralds. Beginning in the ruins of Westopolis, he seemingly collaborated with the Black Arms before ending up at Dr. Eggman's Cryptic Castle. Believing that the doctor knew something about his past, Shadow infiltrated the castle and found Amy, whom he helped rescue Cream and Cheese, before being confronted by the scientist's Egg Breaker. With the pink hedgehog's help, however, he destroyed the mech and later found himself caught in the crossfire between the Black Arms' ancient aerial fortresses and the Eggman Empire's Eggman Fleet. In the aftermath, he had four Chaos Emeralds in his possession.

After successfully gathering all of the Chaos Emeralds and ending up at the Black Arms's Black Comet, Shadow was confronted by Black Doom, who commanded him to give him the Emeralds so that they could begin the "prosperity ritual". However, Sonic the Hedgehog and the others, including Eggman himself, then arrived and told the black hedgehog not to listen to the alien leader. Nevertheless, after revealing the Black Arms' intention to harvest humans as an energy source, Doom took the Chaos Emeralds from Shadow and used Chaos Control to warp the Black Comet down to the surface of the earth. The alien overlord then explained that he helped Professor Gerald create Shadow, but only in return for the Chaos Emeralds, which were needed to bring the comet down to the surface, before he paralyzed everyone with a special gas and left them to be devoured by his alien offspring, the Death Leeches. Due to having the same blood as Black Doom, Shadow was the only one not affected by the gas and continued forward as he finally put his past behind, swearing to never let anyone manipulate him again, and was determined to destroy Black Doom.

Black Doom fled, leaving behind Shadow, the only hope for the planet. Shadow caught up with Black Doom and suddenly was attacked by mind control. Black Doom told him that he could control him as they had the same blood running through their veins. Just then, Team Chaotix activated a film showing a sane Professor Gerald Robotnik sometime before the raid on the ARK. In the video, he told him that he was the only hope for the planet. It was revealed that the only way to defeat the Black Arms was to destroy the Black Comet using the Eclipse Cannon. As the video ended, Maria stepped into the frame and gave Shadow the inspiration he needed to break through Black Doom's control. Black Doom escaped and prompted Shadow to use the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Shadow and fight the alien leader. Black Doom, now in his Devil Doom form, fought Shadow but was defeated. Shadow then used a super-powered Chaos Control to warp the Black Comet back into the planet's orbit and tear it apart with a blast from the Eclipse Cannon. Onboard the ARK and with the world now safe, Shadow looked at a picture of Maria and Gerald before tossing it away, resolving to put his past behind him and move forward with his life.
