Editing Sonic the Hedgehog (section)

==Supporting Cast==

'''Miles "Tails" Prower'''(get it?): A young(4-8) years old) fox-boy who has two tails(hence the nickname) for no explained reason, and can use them like a propeller to move fast and even fly. Tails is a mechanical genius despite his young age, and idolizes Sonic much like a little brother. 

'''Amy Rose''': A pink hedgehog with a big hammer and a bigger crush on Sonic. How annoying she is about it(and how well Sonic handles it) varies a ''lot'' between games and other adaptations. 

'''Metal Sonic''': Robotnik has tried the old "Evil Robot Duplicate of the Hero" schtick a few times, this is probably his most successful. 

'''Knuckles the Echidna''': A red Echidna with dreadlocks(that he can glide with) and spiked fists(for punching). Eggman tricked him into fighting Sonic when they first met, but they became friends after Eggman's true nature came out. A grumpy loner who falls ''just'' short of being an edgelord, especially compared to...

'''Shadow the Hedgehog''': a.k.a. Edgelord Sonic. Genetically engineered to be the ultimate life form, the fact that only brings him about even with Sonic is telling. Is willing use guns, that's how edgy he is. His character was so utterly fucked by his game that Sega has basically restricted his use for once every blue moon. 

'''Rouge the Bat''': Not [[Rogue]], though she arguably is one. A white-furred spy and jewel thief who is probably [[Shortstack |sexier than a character in a series mostly made for kids should be]]. Teases Knuckles a lot (arguably because he guards the biggest gem on the planet), and has a genuine soft spot for Shadow, whom she often works with alongside '''E-123 Omega''', a rogue Eggman robot.  

'''Cream the Rabbit''': An adorable six-year-old bunny who accidentally got kidnapped by Eggman once, and still hangs around the heroes from time to time. Lives with her mother '''Vanilla''' (who also got kidnapped by Eggman another time) and their pet Chao, '''Cheese''' and '''Chocula'''.

'''Blaze the Cat''': This flame-empowered Princess from another dimension is effectively her world's counterpart to Sonic, fighting to defend her world from its own Eggman. 

'''The Chaotix''' A trio who work as detectives and troubleshooters, They are '''Vector the Crocodile''', the leader (who is kinda sweet on Cream's mom), the ninja '''Espio the Chameleon''' and the childlike '''Charmy Bee'''. The comics sometimes giving them additional members, notably '''Mighty the Armadillo''' and '''Ray the Flying Squirrel''', two obscure old-school buddies of Sonic's. Charmy could practically get his own entry here because he has had some ''seriously messed up'' backstories. See, in the games, he was supposed to be a 6 year old kid... but the English translator flubbed it and thought he was ''16''. So both the Fleetway and Archie Comics naturally thought it was okay to give him some "teen appropriate" stories. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehSmdWsrW7c There's actually a youtube video on the topic]], but in a nutshell:
* Fleetway: From the start, he was depicted as being the one guy on the Chaotix that everybody ''hated''. Like, they literally tell him to his ''face'' that he hates him, which Charmy always brushes off because he genuinely thinks they're his friends. 
* Archie: His best friend died of a drug overdose in front of him. His kingdom was wiped out by Robotnik, who murdered almost the entire population with his "Egg Grapes", a machine that sucks the life out of living creatures to store it in batteries. Charmy himself was put in one and got out alive, but was permanently braindamaged to the point he was left with the intellectual and emotional capacity of a six-year-old, with his former girlfriend Saffron now having to be his caretaker. Oh, except that due to the Ken Penders fiasco, Saffron then had to be written out of the story, which was achieved by having her banished to another dimension with Charmy never getting a chance to say goodbye. Honestly, being retconned into just being a six year old kid by the big setting reboot was a step ''up'' for the little bastard!
