Shadow the Hedgehog
Name	Shadow the Hedgehog
Species	Hedgehog (artificial lifeform)
Age	Unknown
Height	100 cm
Weight	35 kg
Special abilities & skills	Able to curl into a tight ball while in motion, exposing and projecting his spines to absorb shock and, in many cases, cut or smash through obstacles and enemies Unreal reflexes—Incredibly focused and quick to react Powerful, adaptive combatant who makes full use of his entire body to fight, from quills, to fists, to feet In regards to weapons and vehicles, there's not a lot he can't figure out how to use reasonably well on the fly
Unique ability	Has an innate mastery over the inherently high levels of Chaos Energy contained in his body, and can easily utilize it for energy-based attacks and Chaos Control
Carried items	N/a
Ability Ratings
Agility	With his air shoes operating, he can "skate" at supersonic speeds, skimming just inches off the ground. He can also jump high with said air shoes (which can also aid him in changing directions in midair), wall-run/skate with downforce from his spoiler-like upturned quills, spindash, and perform incredibly accurate acrobatic feats. His acceleration is great, too, but not quite equal to Sonic's.
Strength	Enough arm strength to be acrobatic and deliver some mean punches, but he much prefers to fight with feet, quills, and other means.
Toughness	He's very athletically built, his head and back are fully covered in tough, springy quills, he's flexible, and he's an outstanding and experienced fighter.
Energy	His life is sustained by the same technology used in the Chaos Drives (and subsequently the Biolizard). He can still get winded in a fierce enough fight, but he recovers quickly. He regenerates and heals faster than an average person, wields incredible chaos energy powers, and has a proven mastery of Chaos Control.

General Info

Just as dark and mysterious as he looks, Shadow's origins are known to a relative few, while his ultimate goals are known to no one at all. With immense power at his disposal and allegiance that changes like the wind, there's little that's trustworthy about the artificial hedgehog. His intentions may not be wholly malevolent, but they're also not wholly good; he looks out for himself first and foremost, while pursuing what he thinks is right at any cost.

Still, he can be a bit uncertain, and can even be persuaded from time to time. He isn't above acting on compassion, and isn't some kind of heartless monster of a science project. He's determined to be no one's tool, however. That said, one must wonder precisely how long his arrangement as an agent for GUN will last.

Ability Info

Shadow is often considered Sonic's darker doppelganger, and for good reason. His resemblance isn't superficial; he truly is the blue hedgehog's physical equal, save for a few minor differences. Though they can both perform spins, spindashes, run on walls and ceilings, and their top speeds are roughly equal, Shadow may not have quite have the same intuitive, nearly feral agility his rival has, nor his sheer horsepower on foot (relying heavily on his powerful Air Shoes to get and maintain speed). His Chaos Control abilities are yet unrivaled, however, making him a deadly, teleporting super-speeder with energy attacks and untold destructive power. His body is remarkably resilient, as well (perhaps owing to its unique artificial biology), capable of recovering from even dire injuries in a comparatively short amount of time.

In summary, Shadow is a bioweapon. He was made to fight, and he's very good at it.
