Sonic loves traveling around the world, interacting with different cultures present on the planet, and tasting regional dishes, particularly chili dogs. He never stays in one place for long and always seeks his next challenge, viewing life as a never-ending series of adventures. Sonic hates being constrained, which tends to make him very uneasy and restless. However, he has shown the ability to remain calm even after six months of imprisonment onboard the Death Egg. Despite his love for the outdoors, he enjoys quieter activities, such as reading on rainy days.

Sonic has a calm and carefree demeanor but can be impatient, impulsive and short-tempered. He can be reckless and quick to act before thinking, acting before thinking and ignoring others' warnings. Nevertheless, he is honest, fearless, and always keeps his promises.

Sonic's personality is a juxtaposition of kindness and ferocity. He hates deceit, unfairness, and evil in all its forms, being enraged when witnessing injustice and doing all he can to stop it. For this reason, he has a very strong sense of justice, being supportive of all human rights across all societies, but fights for the ideal of freedom rather the name of the law. He is also very selfless, always standing for the underdog without expecting anything in return. He is motivated by personal entertainment, indifferent to his fame, and will always do what he sees as correct, even if it means trouble or being despised by others. For this reason, he does not consider himself a "hero".

Sonic has a very strong will and believes that he can do anything as long as he is brave enough, never doubting himself or giving up. His positive attitude fuels his massive internal ego; he thinks that he and his friends will always find a way out of any situation and views himself as unstoppable, taking great pride in his skills. In times of crisis, though, he becomes aggressive and intensely focused. It is only in the moments of greatest loss that his carefree appearance falls away, like in the apparent deaths of his closest friends or loved ones.

Sonic deeply cares about his friends and will risk his life for them without any due consideration. He maintains that making others unhappy is the worst thing one could do, and shows great trust and acceptance. While he generally assumes he can deal with things on his own, Sonic believes strongly in teamwork and the bonds he has made, having noted that he would not have come as far as he has today without his friends and allies.

Sonic holds everyone to the same level as himself, but can often appear rude, specially to authorities. Despite this, he can be a gentleman when he wants to and be modest with fancy titles. He also admires his enemies for their strength and the challenges they present.

Sonic often makes quips and jokes to lighten the mood and will take any opportunity to taunt his opponents. He is also very competitive, never holding back when pitted against others in a test of skills and abilities. Nevertheless, Sonic is not one to usually hold ill against others in case he loses in an competition to them. Despite his penchant for sarcasm, Sonic gets irritated when his species is misidentified, always correcting others to emphasize that he is a hedgehog.

Sonic is very insightful, capable of seeing through deception or noticing things that others would have overlooked. He can likewise give valuable and comforting advices that drastically change the outlook of others. He has an adversion for eternity, believing that a world that goes on forever is dull and maintaining that life is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. He also has a remarkable capacity to forgive, one example of this being when he partnered with Silver and worked with him after the latter had tried to kill him twice.

Sonic loves nature and scenic views, and detests environmental pollution as a result. Additionally, he enjoys cool music and frequently breakdances, incorporating such moves in his attacks.

Always prepared to put his life on the line to protect others, be they friends or civilians, Sonic is a carefree spirit and a fearless daredevil at heart. He is driven by his own personal code of justice that compels him to respond to any form of evil, no matter how great or how overwhelming its threat is. This attitude sometimes gets him in trouble, but it also makes him the answer to evil anywhere and everywhere. Unlike most others, Sonic finds fun in fighting and thwarting evil, primarily in the form of Dr. Eggman and his empire. Even when locked in a battle to the death, Sonic cannot help finding excitement and entertainment in such situations, namely because he has experienced them so many times that the stakes of such fights hardly faze him anymore. Regardless, he will still confront his enemies with a serious demeanor when the situation warrants it. Despite his usual cocky and laid-back attitude and massive ego, Sonic's defining traits have always been his pure heart of gold and his utter dauntlessness in the face of danger. Despite his ego, Sonic is willing to swallow his pride for the greater good, as shown when he used obsequious flattery to convince his rival, Jet, to help him save the world. Also, despite his devotion to the greater good, he is notably rash, often throwing himself into trouble without much of a plan in mind.

Sonic's personality is a juxtaposition of kindness and ferocity. Extremely benevolent, Sonic's heroism is an extension of his philosophy; preferring to keep things simple, Sonic lives for the moment and wants to see the world and enjoy all the thrills and adventures that come from that. Sonic lives his life according to this sense of freedom and wants everyone else to have the freedom to do that too. As such, if he were to take a life, he would be taking away that person's freedom too, which goes against his own rules. Similarly, the peace he has made with several of his enemies in the past has taught him that there are better alternatives to neutralizing a threat than eliminating it, having experienced difficult cases of villains who wanted to destroy the world but were reformed by him and his allies. As such, while he does everything he can to snuff out evil, he is always willing to give people that he has "a rocky start" with a chance to rebound and reform themselves so they can restart their relationships on better terms, a philosophy that he is willing to extend even to villains like Dr. Eggman or Dr. Starline. He similarly cannot turn away when someone is in need of aid. Most noticeably, after helping defeat Metal Sonic, he compassionately had the robot repaired in hopes he could convince him to abandon his evil ways. He likewise believes that even the worst person has good in them. Far from a pacifist, however, Sonic refuses to let anyone take away the freedom of others, even when they follow his own philosophy, and will willingly resort to physical methods when a peaceful route is not feasible. As such, he recognizes that peaceful methods do not always work, especially when dealing with an unpredictable enemy.

If Sonic has a flaw besides recklessness and a certain disregard for authority, it is that he tends to take things too much upon himself. Another flaw of his is that he puts a lot of faith in the belief that everyone, even villains like Eggman, has some good in them and are redeemable, something that he himself sometimes regrets and individuals like Shadow and Espio challenge. Also, because he knows that giving others a choice cannot prevent them from making poor decisions, Sonic tends to become disappointed when those he gives a second chance to choose an undesirable path. This does not make him naïve, because he is still aware when enemies pose too much of a threat to be reasoned with.

Sonic cares deeply for his many friends. Despite his loyalty to them, though, he never lingers too long in one place. However, his friends know he will be cruising back into their lives in no time.

[ABILITIES]

• Skills/Abilities/Powers: Despite not having undergone any known training, Sonic's years of battles have made him a skilled and powerful fighter. He has defeated giant robots, demons, and god-like beings on his own; gone up against and bested those with far more combat experience; and even beaten individuals who equally match his abilities. It has also been noted that Sonic is steadily growing stronger; during the Time Eater incident, Sonic could beat the Egg Emperor and Perfect Chaos on his own where he previously required additional power to defeat them. Sonic even told Infinite upon holding his own against the latter compared to the previous time they fought that he becomes more powerful every second. It is safe to assume that Sonic is far more powerful than he lets on. His victories over Emerl at the Gizoid's maximum potential and Perfect Chaos in his base form are prime examples of his true power.

Sonic's greatest strength is his super speed. He has proven himself to be in a class of his own with his speed, having been credited as "the fastest thing alive" and even the fastest being in the universe. He has the ability to instantly accelerate to the speed of sound and run at speeds that exceed Mach 1, which is at the blistering speed of about 768 mph, and can run backward just as well as he can forwards. Due to such speed, he can scale vertical surfaces and ceilings, run over water, out speed lasers, and even cause the ground to explode and lift off in his wake. This speed also allowed him to restore the time and space erased by the Time Eater during that incident. Even then, Sonic can take his speed even further. By revving up in one place, he can take off at turbo speeds in an instant. He can also envelope himself in a blue energy field that lets him accelerate beyond the sound barrier on both the ground and in midair for a short time, allowing him to not only smash straight through enemies and obstacles like a living projectile, but also fly immense distances through midair. Using certain techniques, he can even momentarily reach the speed of light.

It is unknown what Sonic's unaided top speed is. During the Emerl incident, it was stated he can move several times the speed of sound and when facing Emerl at his maximum potential, he went at least ten rounds with him in less than thirty seconds. He is also able to run in circles around an enemy at such speeds that he can stun it. Some sources claim that Sonic's maximum speed is Mach 1.2. It has also often been stated that Sonic can move at supersonic speeds[note 5] (which ranges from 915-3,840 mph). There are as well records stating that Sonic can instantaneously reach the speed of light (about 671,000,000 mph); E-123 Omega himself calculated that Sonic's speed could potentially exceed light speed and the hedgehog has boasted that light speed is "small time" to him. Additionally, during the Little Planet incident, Sonic was able to enter the Time Warp, which required him to run at speeds exceeding the speed of light.

Sonic has demonstrated complete mastery of his speed in any environment and can use it for both high-speed offense and defense. Not only can he run at maximum tilt in straight lines, but also in full tight circles and through sharp turns with full control over his momentum. As far as stamina goes, Sonic's is seemingly limitless as he is never winded from running. His speed also allows him to perform several impressive feats; he can heal at rapid speeds, launch shockwaves by spinning rapidly, leap in midair, launch stunning waves with fast kicks, increase the force of his blows by striking with increased momentum, and create barriers of super speed. He can also spin in circles or rotate his extremities at super speed to create winds strong enough to attack or blow away opponents, similar to aerokinesis.

Sonic possesses astounding kineticism and precision, and has the reaction time to match his speed. He has profound acrobatic skills and agility, along with incredible reflexes that lets him avoid any incoming obstacles with precise and delicate movements. As seen in his first meeting with Silver, Sonic can even detect attacks beyond his field of vision due to his sharp reflexes. When launched into the air, he can also pull off several tricks before landing. He also has incredible jumping skills, capable of jumping up to several hundred meters, even with extra weight.

Sonic possesses notable strength. He can push and lift things bigger and heavier than himself, run without extra weight slowing him down, smash through metal and rock, and damage foes countless times his size. However, it is debatable whether the latter's power comes from his speed, strength, or a combination of both. Sonic's strength particularly lies in his legs; with a single kick, he can topple the Egg Golem and send Badniks flying. This does not mean that Sonic's arms are not strong either; he has enough strength to tear robots apart by hand and punch through a collapsed wall.

Sonic has frequently demonstrated extreme resilience to damage. He can survive getting caught in the crossfire from all angles by Eggman's robots (which only knocked him out cold briefly), withstand the force of a massive explosion and a Hyper-go-on-based void unscathed, being pummeled with swords, resist a powerful punch from Knuckles from his foot, smash through several robots with his fist without discomfort, and take a ruthless pummeling from the Time Eater. Additionally, Sonic has more than once survived impacts from falls at extreme heights, bordering at the edge of space, only to shake it off when landing, and has even withstood atmospheric entry.

Sonic possesses an unbreakable and incorruptible spirit; in situations where most others would give up and where he is severely outnumbered and outgunned, Sonic never loses faith in himself and never surrenders. This trait enables him to keep on fighting when utterly exhausted or after taking an abnormal amount of damage. His will even lets him withstand mind-controlling powers, like the corruptive influence of Dark Gaia. Even when possessed by the Ifrit, Sonic was arguably able to occasionally regain control.

Sonic has also demonstrated the ability to harness Chaos Emerald energy for his own use; with a Chaos Emerald, Sonic can perform the chaos power Chaos Control, and occasionally gain a boost in power.

Sonic's core offensive maneuver is the Spin Attack, a technique where he curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs himself at his targets. With it, Sonic can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed and hit with enough force to pierce colossal boulders. Highly adept in its usage, Sonic can utilize several variants of the Spin Attack for both grounded and aerial maneuvers, including the Spin Dash, Spin Jump, Homing Attack, the super-charged Focused Homing Attack, and the Light Speed Attack, which attacks at the speed of light.

Even without his Spin Attack, Sonic is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant. He mostly relies on his fast footwork since the majority of his power lies in his legs, though he has been known to use his fists and arms from time to time, albeit in a rather straightforward manner. His fighting style is mostly derived from breakdancing moves which utilize Sonic's legs to their fullest, allowing him to deliver swift, wide-ranged kicks. He has also been known to use flying forward kicks, split kicks, and scissor kicks. Sonic was also shown during the scabbard of Excalibur incident to excel in swordsmanship. Even as a rookie swordsman, Sonic could beat a dragon and after receiving formal training, he could best master swordsmen like the Knights of the Round Table. In addition to using advanced techniques, Sonic can apply his speed to his swordplay for quick and swift slashes, and become a buzzsaw by spinning with his sword, enabling him to slice clean through enemies. He has also learned the martial art of Linshao Kung Fu from Shuifon, though he is yet to be seen using it.

Sonic has extraordinary skill in operating vehicles. He has excellent skills when it comes to piloting planes like the Tornado, and water bike surfing on vessels like the Wave Cyclone. He is also experienced in a variation of sports such as boarding and surfing, and other recreational activities like grinding. As shown during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix, Sonic is also an expert at driving sport cars like the Speed Star, the Speedster Lightning, or the Cyclone. He has even demonstrated that he is capable of driving his car sideways and backwards just as well as he can forwards, and can keep up with other expert drivers like Shadow while driving from these directions.

Sonic has proven himself as a world-class Extreme Gear rider. He is said to move faster than he can run on an Extreme Gear and can go head-to-head with legendary Wind Masters like Jet the Hawk. Sonic seemingly has a knack for Extreme Gear riding, quickly grasping the controls on his first try and later developing advanced techniques despite being self-taught. After the second World Grand Prix, Sonic can be considered the best Extreme Gear rider in the world, having beaten Metal Sonic in a race, who at that point was an "unbeatable" rider with the skills of the world's finest Extreme Gear riders at his disposal. Most of these Extreme Gears include the Blue Star, the Blue Star II, and the Yellow Tail Turbo.

It appears that Sonic can control the strength and durability of his otherwise soft quills at will. While he is spinning, they appear to be extremely hard like buzzsaw blades; as demonstrated during the Neo Metal Sonic incident, his quills (and body) are durable enough to slice through battleships without even moving at the speed of sound. In addition, Sonic's quills can sense nearby dangers, which they warn him about by creating a tingling sensation. A similar precognitive ability of his that allows him to sense nearby danger comes in the form of sneezing. Sonic has also demonstrated the ability to transfer his speed throughout various parts of his body, allowing him to immediately set off from stationary positions and even channel it into objects to speed up their movements and make them pierce through solid objects as he does while running. He can also create an effect reminiscent of a time halt, even though it is unknown what it is derived from.

By harnessing the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic can enter a Super State, transforming him into Super Sonic. Easily his most used transformation, Super Sonic is one of Sonic's strongest forms. In this state, all of Sonic's abilities far surpass his normal ones. He is also able to fly and is nearly invulnerable. However, this transformation consumes a lot of energy, meaning it cannot be maintained for long.

[BIOGRAPHY:Sonic was born on June 23 on Christmas Island, but abandoned his home to pursue adventures. At some point, he met Doctor Ivo Robotnik, a mad scientist seeking global domination. Sonic nicknamed his adversary "Eggman" —a name later picked by the doctor himself—and would consistently thwart his plans.

At the start of the Death Egg saga, Sonic learned that Eggman had invaded South Island to seek out the Chaos Emeralds resting there, kidnapping the local Animals and turning them into robots called "Badniks". After expelling the doctor from the island, he thwarted his plan to capture Little Planet and adquire its Time Stones to conquer spacetime, meeting Amy Rose along the way. Soon after, Sonic travelled to West Side Island and met Miles "Tails" Prower, who joined him in stopping Eggman from launching his Death Egg space station. However, the Death Egg crash-landed on Angel Island, whose guardian, Knuckles the Echidna, was fooled into thinking Sonic and Tails had evil intentions. The duo traveled through Angel Island, sabotaging the Death Egg's relaunching and causing it to crash into Lava Reef. They eventually befriended Knuckles and destroyed the space station for good, with Sonic transforming into Super Sonic with the seven Chaos Emeralds to chase Eggman into space.

In the aftermath, Sonic would find himself facing more schemes from Eggman. Amongst other adventures, he would destroy the Death Egg mk.II, face a bounty hunter known as Fang the Hunter, and meet an older version of himself. Despite Eggman's persistence, Sonic emerged victorious in every situation.

Sonic eventually found out that Eggman was seeking to tame Chaos, an ancient god of destruction, to annihilate Station Square. He teamed up with Tails to acquire the Chaos Emeralds before Eggman did to power up the beast. Along the way, he met the ancient echidna spirit Tikal, and from her learned much of the Chaos's violent history. Ultimately, despite Sonic's efforts, Chaos harnessed the seven Emeralds and transformed into Perfect Chaos. Sonic transformed into Super Sonic and defeated Perfect Chaos, reverting the creature to his original peaceful form.

Sonic was later falsely framed as an escapee by the Guardian Units of Nations (G.U.N.) military. While fleeing persecution, he discovered that he had been mistaken with Shadow the Hedgehog, who had teamed up with Eggman to adquire the seven Chaos Emeralds. Sonic partnered with his friends to uncover Eggman's plan, which was to hold the world hostage with the Eclipse Cannon, a superweapon held onboard the Space Colony ARK. The heroes infiltrated the colony to sabotage the doctor's scheme. Although they ultimately failed, both parties learned that they had been fooled by an elaborate revenge plan posthumously initiated by Eggman's late grandfather, Gerald Robotnik. With the colony on a rapid collision course with Earth, Sonic teamed up with his friends and foes and saved the world.

Sonic would later form "Team Sonic" alongside Tails and Knuckles to foil Neo Metal Sonic, a transformed version of Metal Sonic that was masquareding as Eggman. After a series of battles against rival teams, the group defeated the robot. Afterwards, Sonic discovered and befriended Emerl, who was later discovered to be an ancient weapon of mass destruction. He was forced to destroy the robot to save the world after Eggman attempted to control Emerl. In another adventure, Sonic met a time traveller known as Silver the Hedgehog and found himself embroiled in a conflict revolving around a sun deity called Solaris that was split into two, leading to him protecting Princess Elise the Third from Eggman and ultimately going to the past to erase Solaris from existence. Later, when Eggman shattered Earth and unleashed an entity called Dark Gaia, Sonic was infused with a Werehog transformation and embarked on a journey around the planet to restore it.

In a subsequent adventure, Sonic befriended aliens called Wisps and destroyed Eggman's Egg Planet Park, which he was using as a cover-up for world conquest. Sonic would later celebrate his birthday party when he and his friends were kidnapped by the Time Eater, a deity of time later revealed to be controlled by Eggman. Trapped in a void known as White Space, Sonic met a younger version of himself known as Classic Sonic and traveled through various points of his earlier life. The Sonics eventually gathered the seven Chaos Emeralds and destroyed the Time Eater before parting ways. Afterwards, Sonic and Tails pursued Eggman to the Lost Hex, where they were forced to team up with the doctor after the locals, the Deadly Six, took over Eggman's inventions to destroy the world.

Sonic was later defeated by Infinite, Eggman's new right-hand man who was using a mysterious gem known as the Phantom Ruby to empower himself. He was then held captive onboard the rebuilt Death Egg. Without his nemesis to foil him, Eggman conquered the world but was opposed by Sonic's friends, who formed a guerrilla group known as the Resistance, triggering the War to Take Back the Planet. After six months of captivity, Sonic was freed by a Resistance recruit known as the "Avatar" and reunited with Classic Sonic. The trio, alongside the rest of the Resistance, faced off against Eggman's army and Infinite, ultimately overthrowing the doctor's regime.

During his latest adventure, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy traveled to the Starfall Islands following unusual Chaos Emerald readings. Upon arrival, they were sucked into a wormhole, separating Sonic from his friends. After escaping a digital realm called Cyber Space, Sonic journeyed through the Starfall Islands, encountering his friends in digitized states and suffering from increasing cyber corruption. Guided by a mysterious voice, Sonic was tasked with destroying the islands' Titans to rescue his friends. He also met Sage, an AI created by Eggman, who was trapped in Cyber Space. After destroying the Titans and freeing his friends and Eggman, Sonic inadvertently released a malevolent entity called The End. Transforming into Super Sonic, he teamed up with Sage to destroy The End, leading to Sage's sacrifice.]
