Shadow the Hedgehog

Shadow the Hedgehog (シャドウ?ザ?ヘッジホッグ, Chinese translation Shadow/Shater/Shardo) is the game Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog) series The characters in it are positioned as neutral characters (or villains) who are both good and evil due to their unique personalities. To be precise, Shadow is an artificially created life form. It first appeared in Sega's 2001 DC game Sonic Adventure 2.

History

Shadow’s design history is as shrouded in mystery as his life experience, and there is still controversy as to whether his designer was Kamikawa Yuji or Takashi Iizuka. Originally positioned as a negative hero, the inspiration for his design is unclear, but in terms of temperament, Shadow is somewhat similar to Vegeta, the negative hero in "Dragon Ball".

Shadow first appeared in the DC game Sonic Adventure 2 as the opponent of Sonic and others. But when he found out that he was being used, he immediately sided with Sonic and others. Shadow disappears at the end of the game, and many believe this is the end of the character.

However, Shadow reappeared in the 2003 cross-platform game Sonic Heroes. This time he lost all his memories, and his goal is to find these memories, but at the end of the game, the production team still retains suspense - is the Shadow in the game the original Shadow, or the villain Dr. Eggman?" Is it just a cloning machine created by Dr.Eggman?

In 2005, Shadow had his own game of the same name, "Shadow the Hedgehog", in which all the mysteries of Shadow's life experience were revealed. At the end of the story, Shadow recovered his memory, but he put it behind him and continued his lonely journey...

Character History

Shadow was the government 50 years ago The product of a secret project, this project is called "Project: Shadow" and is fully presided over by Professor Gerald Robotnik appointed by the government. The plan is to create artificial life with super strength. Professor Gerard had no intention of accepting this assignment, but because his beloved granddaughter Maria (Maria Robotnik) suffered from a terminal disease that could not be cured by medicine, his love for his granddaughter forced Dr. Gerard to finally commit to fulfilling this plan. Dr. Gerrard came to the space colony ARK (Space Colony ARK) established in outer space and began research.

In the study of "Chaos Emeralds", researchers have imitated a substance called "Chaos Drive", which can transform Chaos Emeralds into By connecting the power with artificial life form, researchers used it to create a life sample, which they called "Ultimate Life-form". This life form has the ability to regenerate and replicate, which makes researchers very excited. They seem to have seen the dawn of the birth of artificial life. However, things suddenly worsened, and researchers discovered that the power of the ultimate life form was too powerful, and existing methods could not suppress its energy. Finally, the government handed over the plan to the Ministry of Defense (GUN, Guard Units of Nation).

Professor Gerald was only halfway through his research, so he begged the Ministry of Defense to let him continue his research. However, after senior officials from the Ministry of National Defense learned of the threat from ultra-class life forms, they decided to secretly terminate the project, seal off all research facilities on the "Ark", and eliminate all personnel involved in the project.

The Ministry of Defense announced the "Shadow Project" to the outside world and claimed that the deaths of researchers and the closure of facilities were caused by the sudden loss of control of research-grade life forms during the research process, but the Ministry of Defense knew nothing about it. Public opinion pointed the finger at Professor Gerald. At this time, the Ministry of National Defense quickly sent troops to blockade the "Ark" and sealed the samples of the ultimate life form deep in the "Ark".

However, the Ministry of National Defense did not expect that Professor Gerald had secretly almost completed the research on the research-level life form. The professor used the data of the research-level life form to create another life form. The project was named "Shadow". However, the professor was unable to make this being have human-like thoughts and emotions, so he turned to an alien race that called itself the "Black Arms". The leader of the army, Black Doom, asked the professor to use the Chaos Emerald as a weapon. In exchange for conditions, his own DNA could be implanted into Shadow's body. Eventually, Shadow was born.

The secret was quickly discovered by the spies sent by the Ministry of Defense into the "Ark". The Ministry of Defense decided to eliminate all researchers and residents on the Ark and destroy all research facilities at all costs. Maria, the professor's granddaughter, escapes with Shadow as the army arrives. The professor commissioned the two to make the truth public, but when the two were about to board the safety capsule to escape to Earth, Maria was shot, but she still used her last breath to launch the safety capsule in which Shadow was riding.

Dr.Eggman"

Doctor "Eggman" Robotnik (ドクタアエッグマンdokutaa egguman, commonly known in the West as Dr.Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, nickname is Eggman; Chinese translation name : Dr. Eggman/Dr. Robot) is the villain in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Has an IQ of over 300. The age is unknown, probably around 50 years old. The character designer is Naoto Oshima.

History

The reason why Dr. Eggman was designed is simple: How can an adventure game not have a villain? When Sega was designing the villain for the first Sonic game, Sonic the Hedgehog, in 1991, Sega's artist Naoto Oshima planned to design a character with a simple image and clear lines, so he exaggerated the appearance of Dr. Eggman. On paper. The origin of this image is very interesting. At the time, Sega staff wanted the game's villain to be a bloated, bearded figure wearing pink pajamas and glasses. This design was once joked by Sega insiders, but was later adopted as the basic image of Dr. Eggman. It is also said that in the 1986 Hayao Miyazaki animated film "Castle in the Sky", there was a character very similar to the current Dr. Eggman. This character has no name. There is only one scene in the animation, which is when he appears on a white tank. But there is no doubt that Dr. Eggman’s costume design adopts this character. There is also an even more outrageous theory that Dr. Egghead’s design was inspired by former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt.

The name of Dr. Eggman comes from a song "I am the Walrus" by the Beatles. One of the lyrics goes like this: "I am the Eggman, they are the Eggman". Later, a modified version of this lyric also appeared in Dr. Eggman's theme song.

As for Dr. Eggman’s real name, in the animation released in Europe and the United States, Eggman is just his nickname, and Ivo Robotnik is his real name (in fact, "Ivo" The word "Ovi" written backwards means "egg" in Greek). But in Japan, where he was born, and throughout Asia, few people call him Dr. Robotnik. Most of the Sonic the Hedgehog games released so far use Eggman as their common name.

Character History

Since Dr. Eggman is a villain, there is no doubt that he should do what a villain often does: rule the world! Like other classic villains, Dr. Eggman has superb abilities with machines, so he has the capital to establish the "Egghead Empire" he rules in his dreams. However, this kind of delusion is naturally opposed by positive people, and of course it will not succeed.

Dr. Eggman’s grandfather is Professor Gerald Robotnik, an outstanding scientist who once worked for the government. However, he was unfortunately killed in a government conspiracy 50 years ago. Dr. Eggman inherited his grandfather's high IQ, but he will obviously no longer cooperate with the government.

Dr. Eggman has created countless amazing mechanical weapons. Like most villains, he also has an unimaginably large base - and will rebuild a bigger one every time it is destroyed. But no matter how spectacular the scene is, in the end, Sonic and others, as positive characters, will always reduce Dr. Eggman's achievements to ruins. Dr. Eggman longs to obtain the Chaos Emeralds to gain the power to control the universe, but has repeatedly failed. As a villain cartoon character, his greatest characteristic is that he never repentes.

But Dr. Egghead also has good intentions, and that is when the earth is about to be destroyed. After all, without the earth, the "Egghead Empire" he dreamed of establishing would be meaningless. Therefore, at the end of several Sonic series games and animations, Dr. Eggman would join forces with Sonic and others and provide them with help, but in the end he continued to indulge in his delusions and continued the poor old story of the villain. .

In future games, Sega seems to no longer intend to always make Dr. Eggman the villain, but to make him closer to the neutral side of both good and evil. This intention is already obvious in several games that have been released. In the upcoming PS3 game Sonic the Hedgehog, Dr. Eggman is likely to appear in a new image; but judging from the current situation, he will be a villain for a long time.

Character Scan

Putting aside the image of Dr. Eggman as a villain, he is actually a very humorous, romantic, somewhat narcissistic, and quite childish old man. urchin. This seems to be due to the fact that several of the actors who voiced him had such personalities (although several have passed away). And he was quite the gentleman—although it was hard to tell from his appearance.

As for his family, Dr. Egghead admires his grandfather, Professor Gerald, and aspires to be like his grandfather. He hopes to create the same intelligent robots that his grandfather made, but each time he only turns them into combat weapons.

The thing that Dr. Eggman hates most is naturally Sonic and others sabotaging his plans, but he will never underestimate these positive characters. Many of the machines he built copied features of his rivals. In addition, he is very fond of Tails, who also has a high IQ like him, but Dr. Egghead will never allow anyone to surpass his inventions.

Theme Song

"E.G.G.M.A.N."

This song is the only confirmed theme song for Dr. Eggman. In addition, most of his songs are either only instrumental music, otherwise they are just short sections. The genre is weird black jazz.

Sonic Listening to music, the speed of Mercedes-Benz exceeds Mach 1 or more (still unknown...). The body can be rolled into a circle, and the spines on its back can be used to roll to attack the enemy. He has an unruly personality, does not flatter others, and is very sensitive to sounds. I can't swim, but I don't think it's scary (that's weird... I'm terribly afraid of water...). His favorite food is said to be hot dogs. Sonic's birthplace is a very controversial place. In fact, in most game manuals and animated cartoons published in Europe and the United States, Sonic's hometown is considered to be the planet Mobius. In the game version, Sonic was born on Christmas Island, and there is basically no way to verify his past and his family. But one thing is that his supersonic skills and those not-so-good tempers have always been there.

Tails:

The Chinese translation is Miles Prower (full name), Tails (Tails) ( nickname).

Tails is a little fox with two tails. He is about 8 years old, about 80cm tall and weighs about 20kg. What makes him unique is that his two tails can wrap around and spin like a helicopter, giving him the ability to fly. He has superhuman intelligence and is extremely talented in mechanical manufacturing. Its full name is Miles Prower, which is actually a homophone of "miles per hour (miles per hour)". The name was originally designed to complement his partner Sonic.

Tails' natural strengths lie in his twin tails and brain. Tails can fly in the air, so much so that in the first few games, Tails was tasked with carrying Sonic. However, his tail can fly and can also be used as an attack weapon. Compared with "landlubber" Sonic, Tails has very good swimming skills (which seems to be the only thing that is better than his partner who dares not neglect)

Tails' brain should be The second factor of his pride. His IQ is said to be 200. His genius in mechanical manufacturing is even comparable to that of the villain Dr. Eggman. Tails has many works - starting with Sonic the Hegdehog2 - including many aircraft and heavy robots, and his most proud work is the Tornado series. In the TV version of the anime, his mechanical genius is simply incredible.

Personally, Tails is quite shy, especially compared to his optimistic partner Sonic. Additionally, Tails seems to be too dependent on his partner and lacks confidence, to the point where he begins to annoy Sonic.

However, Tails finally proved himself in the plot of the game Sonic Adventure, where he defeated Dr. Eggman and saved the entire Station Square (the name of the city where he lives in the Sonic series).

Tails is very loyal to his partners, which is something Sonic hates. However, Tails has been working hard to change other people's impressions of him - it gives the impression that whether it is in TV animation or game plots, he is tinkering with his machine very diligently. His greatest sense of accomplishment is that others have a positive impression of him. He was full of praise, but the most disappointing moment was when others looked down on him.

Of course Tails also has shortcomings. The first is that he relies on others, the second is that he is too simple-minded, and the third is that he will chatter endlessly whenever he encounters a topic that interests him. The most fearful thing is lightning, and the most depressing thing is having nothing to do or being left alone. He also hated being teased as Shorty by Wave in Sonic Riders.

Knuckles

The age is set to 16 years old and he is a red echidna. The character designer is Takashi Yuda.

Knuckles was born on Angel Island, an ancient island floating in the sky that enshrines the Master Emerald, the "controller" who acts as a check on the power of chaos, and Knuckles was born to protect this huge stone. of emerald. Knuckles is the last descendant of the ancient echidna warrior race, which was destroyed because of its desire to seize the power of the Master Emerald.

The two joints on Knuckles's left and right hands are his weapons, and his two fists with bone nails are his best offensive weapons. As an echidna, he can dig holes in the ground, lift rocks with great brute force, or drive bone nails into walls as tools for rock climbing. His most bizarre ability is that he can use his long hair to glide. The special structure of Knuckles' hair allows him to glide through the sky for a period of time, but his speed is far slower than Sonic's.

As the guardian of the Master Emerald, Knuckles has the ability to sense the existence of the power of Chaos, which allows him to sense the location of the Master Emerald fragments in the game, and can also be used to find the Chaos Emerald. In order to find fragments and collect 7 Chaos Emeralds, he was trained to become an excellent treasure hunter. His above specialties also provided him with great convenience. Other different skills can also be obtained in different games.

Knuckles is honest by nature, which is why he has been deceived many times. His life was such that he became unsociable and his brain became very stubborn. He has a very aggressive personality, but he only speaks with his strength, so he is often plotted against. Knuckles's stubbornness has been mentioned above. Every time he is cheated, he will do something very stupid, so much so that Sonic calls him Knucklehead (meaning "dead skull").

Knuckles' biggest fear is being exposed to the sun, and he is very shy, especially when it comes to women. Moreover, this echidna lacks understanding of modern society due to being closed in the altar on Angel Island for a long time.

team rose

Amy Rose

She is a pink hedgehog with a set age of 12 years old.

Amy is very kind and cute, helpful, and sometimes a little naive. This personality makes her the best choice for villains to take hostages many times. However, the greatest convenience this personality gives Amy is that she can get close to everyone and even influence enemies. For example, in Sonic Adventure, Amy evoked the inner consciousness of E-102 Gamma, and in Sonic Adventure 2, she allowed Shadow to find the deepest memory in his mind, thus saving his own destiny.

Of course, Amy is most famous for her shrewdness. Many people have criticized the production team for seeming to want to turn Amy into a "bad girl" in recent games, while embodying her kindness less and less. . Some people believe that this is because the production team intends to transfer these qualities to Amy's best friend Cream (an example is in Sonic Battle, the person who persuaded Gamma again became Cream). However, Amy is very protective of her friends. For example, in Sonic Riders, Tails was laughed at as "dwarf", and Amy quickly felt sorry for him. She is also confident, optimistic and persistent - especially when tracking Sonic. Although Sonic has never regarded Amy as his girlfriend, Sonic often praises Amy and helps her when necessary, which seems to indicate that the old routine of "you run and I chase" is not always the case between them.

A major feature of Amy is her hammer Piko Piko. Just like the huge hammer in many cartoons has always become one of the items that the protagonist is afraid of, Piko Piko has also become a major deterrent for Sonic. arms. The design of Piko Piko comes from a Japanese hammer toy of the same name. After arduous training, Amy finally developed amazing speed, so she can make difficult jumping movements with the hammer.

How does Amy carry such a big hammer? This is an interesting plot convention in Japanese comics - the so-called "Hammerspace". It is usually located behind the character, that is to say, when you drag it from behind with your hand, the hammer appears.

Cream’s life experience is not as confusing as other Sonic characters. She was raised by her mother Vanilla since she was a child. Vanilla loves Cream very much and teaches her how to be polite to others. Cream is therefore very humble and friendly to people. Cheese is always by her side. Although she doesn’t know how he met her, Cream always takes Cheese with him wherever he goes. Cream treats Cheese as a sincere friend, not just a person. pet.

Cream is, after all, just a child doted on by her mother. She is very polite and humble, and at the same time very innocent and cute, and is friendly to everyone (except the villains). Among the many characters in the Sonic series, she is the weakest female character. It is precisely because of this that Cheese will always be by her side to protect her. Cream has great pride and loyalty to her friends, and her courtesy is evident in every aspect she notices, even when facing enemies.

However, because of this, Cream is a bit naive and naive, and is interested in many things, which also leads to her being bullied. Cream's pride prompts her to defend everything she identifies with, and also makes her very sensitive. This causes her behavior to sometimes be inconsistent with her polite attitude, and is also her biggest weakness.

Cream's big ears can flap like wings, and because her ears are so big, she can even fly using them. She also carries an umbrella with her for landing.

He likes all peaceful things, such as cooking and picking flowers, but he often messes up his cooking. She also likes watching TV (especially "the NEXT Show") very much, and her favorite food is ice cream, but she is so stingy that she never shares it with others.

Shadow the Hedgehog

Shadow is the product of a secret government program 50 years ago, called "Project Shadow" , fully chaired by Professor Gerald Robotnik appointed by the government. The plan is to create artificial life with super strength. Professor Gerard had no intention of accepting this assignment, but because his beloved granddaughter Maria (Maria Robotnik) suffered from a terminal disease that could not be cured by medicine, his love for his granddaughter forced Dr. Gerard to finally commit to fulfilling this plan. Dr. Gerald came to the space colony ARK (Space Colony ARK) established in outer space and began research.

In the study of "Chaos Emeralds", researchers have imitated a substance called "Chaos Drive", which can transform Chaos Emeralds into The power of the artificial life form was connected, and the researchers used it to create a life sample, which they called the "Ultimate Life-form". This life form has the ability to regenerate and replicate, which makes researchers very excited. They seem to have seen the dawn of the birth of artificial life. However, things suddenly worsened, and researchers discovered that the power of the ultimate life form was too powerful, and existing methods could not suppress its energy. Finally, the government handed over the plan to the Ministry of Defense (GUN, Guard Units of Nation).

Professor Gerard's research was only half done, so he asked the Ministry of Defense to let him continue his research. However, after senior officials from the Ministry of National Defense learned of the threat from ultra-class life forms, they decided to secretly terminate the project, seal off all research facilities on the "Ark", and eliminate all personnel involved in the project. The Ministry of Defense announced the "Shadow Project" to the outside world and claimed that the deaths of researchers and the closure of facilities were caused by the sudden loss of control of research-grade life forms during the research process, but the Ministry of Defense knew nothing about it. Public opinion pointed the finger at Professor Gerald. At this time, the Ministry of National Defense quickly sent troops to blockade the "Ark" and sealed the samples of the ultimate life form deep in the "Ark".

The professor used the data of the research-level life form to create another life form. The project was named "Shadow". However, the professor was unable to make this being have human-like thoughts and emotions. For this reason, he turned to an alien race that called itself the "Black Arms". The leader of the army, Black Doom, asked the professor to use the "Chaos Emerald" (Chaos Emeralds)" in exchange for implanting his own DNA into Shadow's body. Eventually, Shadow was born.

The secret was soon discovered by the spy sent by the Ministry of Defense into the "Ark" (later the commander of the Ministry of Defense). The Ministry of Defense decided to eliminate all researchers and residents on the Ark and destroy all research at all costs facility. Maria, the professor's granddaughter, escapes with Shadow as the army arrives. The professor commissioned the two to make the truth public, but when the two were about to board the safety capsule to escape to Earth, Maria was shot, but she still used her last breath to launch the safety capsule in which Shadow was riding.

The army arrested Professor Gerald and imprisoned him. After learning that his granddaughter had died, the professor was filled with grief and anger, and eventually suffered a nervous breakdown.

After the crazy professor heard that the Ministry of National Defense had recovered the safety cabin in which Shadow was riding, he implanted new emotions into the ultimate life form he created. At this time, the only thing left in the crazy professor's mind was the pain and revenge for his granddaughter's murder. of anger. But in the end, the professor still escaped death and was secretly executed by the Ministry of National Defense.

Shadow is very independent. He never listens to anyone's orders but only believes in himself. In order to retrieve his memory, Shadow is always groping alone. His personality is completely opposite to Sonic. He will only carry out his own right and wrong, and is not good at interacting with anyone. People see that he always has a solemn and serious look, but he is not lacking in wisdom and agility. He finally chose to forget the past, but his character would not change because of this, and he learned to be more determined. Even in the face of Mephis's lies, he was not knocked down.

Shadow has the ability of Chaos Control. This is because he is given the same life source as the ultimate life form: Chaos Drive. He always calls himself the "ultimate life form", but he is not strictly grown from Chaos Drive.

He has the same speed as Sonic, and even faster than Sonic according to official data. That's probably thanks to his shoe's ability to accelerate. There are two restraining rings on Shadow's wrists to prevent him from overusing his power and becoming overwhelmed. The energy given by Chaos Drive cannot be completely controlled by life on earth.

Shadow is actually a natural athletic prodigy, and he showed his talent in the game Sonic Riders. At the same time, he can also use weapons and vehicles without any instruction.

As a member of the dark team, his image is a white-faced female bat. She likes to wear red lipstick, often wears underwear, likes money and gems, and hunts for treasures with shadow.

Team Chaotix

Vector the Crocodile

Vector (translated as Victor, or Baker) is a crocodile, aged 20 . He is the leader of the Chaotix team and the founder of the detective agency. However, Vector's first appearance as an official character was in MD's earliest sound test of Sonic the Hedgehof, which is why he wore headphones. The initial image didn't look like a crocodile, but looked like Godzilla. It later reappeared in Knuckles' Chaotix. The mysterious reason why Vector came to the island was that he believed the island was a miracle, and it was obvious that he planned to hunt for treasure here.

Vector has always believed in money worship, so the detective agency he established was always focused on money. There is no doubt that Vector is a money addict and can be rude to people at times. But at the same time, he is actually very kind at heart; it is hard to imagine that he is so stingy in other ways, but he is very enthusiastic about charity. Although he has detective talents, Vector is a very casual guy, and sometimes he can be very childish. He also secretly likes Cream's mother, Ms. Vanilla. But what he loved most was music, after all it was the gift he was given when he was created. But his singing voice is quite terrifying, even quite lethal. Hanging around his neck is a gold chain popular in the Caribbean, which to a certain extent illustrates the designer's source of inspiration for his character positioning.

Espio the Chameleon

Espio (translated as Espio) is a chameleon, 16 years old. Compared to the lively treasure-like atmosphere of the entire Chaotix group, Espio is definitely a chameleon. Alien.

His profession is a ninja, so his character is very cold and calm, and he is also very unsociable; he always likes to hide in one place to carry out his "cultivation". Espio turns out to be a detective, and he seems to have been dragged into the Chaotix Detective Agency by Vector.

As a chameleon, Espio has the ability to blend his skin color into his surroundings, which facilitates his role as a ninja. On his wrist is the dart weapon used by ninjas, which is also his weapon against enemies. However, Vector and Charmy asked him to use ninja tools to steal information, which he didn't seem to like. Espio is very good at computers, but he has an inexplicable hatred for Dr. Eggman. Espio always hopes to deal with problems cautiously, but he always gets messed up by his two live-action partners.

Charmy Bee

Charmy (translated as Charmy, or Charmy) is a little bee and the youngest member of the Chaotix (6 years old). His personality is the most open-minded among the three, and as a child, he only likes to play and take naps. However, he is still an important member of Chaotix as a whole.

Charmy first appeared in the Japanese version of Sonic comics. As a character that was also transplanted from comics to games, Charmy, like Amy Rose, was caught by Dr. Eggman from the beginning. After being rescued by Knuckles, he joined the Chaotix.

Charmy can run very fast, but as a bee, he mainly flies. Charmy has a special hobby for flowers, so the parts where he is used in the game are always inseparable from all kinds of strange flowers.
