#fan guide

To start with this new guide, we need to establish said limitations first, beginning with what thresholds your character should not be reaching or surpassing. These limits must be respected in order for your character to be original.

Sonic the Hedgehog and Metal Sonic are THE fastest characters, as well as THE fastest Speed types. Shadow the Hedgehog is 2nd fastest and Miles "Tails" Prower is 3rd.

Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik is THE smartest. Tails is 2nd smartest. Dodon Pa and Wave the Swallow are the smartest and best in their respective fields, only matched by Eggman and Tails, who are catching up rather quickly.

Knuckles the Echidna is THE strongest character, as well as THE strongest Power type, not to mention the fastest. Shadow is 2nd strongest, and THE strongest Speed type. Knuckles is also the LAST and ONLY living Mobian Echidna. Eggman is the weakest Power type.

Rouge the Bat is the strongest Flight type character with Charmy Bee and Cream the Rabbit tied for being - arguably - the weakest. Without his ESP, Silver the Hedgehog is the slowest Flight type. Tails is THE fastest Flight type.

Jet the Hawk, Wave, and Storm the Albatross are the ONLY Babylon Rogues. Jet and Sonic are THE fastest Extreme Gear riders, with the former being world-renowned for it.

In the current timeline, only Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Blaze the Cat, Silver, and Trip the Sungazer have Super forms to date. Additionally, only Sonic & Knuckles have Hyper forms. Silver has yet to use his Super form in the current timeline.

The Chaotix consists of only the following: Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon, and Charmy. Knuckles and Mighty the Armadillo have loose associations with the Chaotix, and Ray the Flying Squirrel has nothing to do with them.

Shadow is THE ONE AND ONLY Ultimate Lifeform. There is no other.

The Guardian Units of the Nation (G.U.N.) do not allow just anyone to join; Like any other military organization, you must meet all the standard requirements and complete training.

Rouge is the governments' only known spy.

The entire cast is single and has been shown to be heterosexual. Only a few are actively looking for partners. Do not create your character(s) to change that or be their offspring.

The Chaos Emeralds are difficult to get a hold of, and are constantly changing hands. The Sol Emeralds are protected by Blaze for her use alone, as is the Master Emerald by and for Knuckles. There are no other known power sources/relics.

Chaos Drives are creations of Professor Gerald Robotnik and are now used by G.U.N. to power their military robots and other machines. They aren't easy to acquire, either.

If there is a criminal underworld, Fang the Hunter isn't really a part of it. Or at least, not a well known figure. On that note, Bean the Dynamite and Bark the Polar Bear aren't criminals, either.

While everyone in his era uses ESP, Silver is the only time traveler.

That's it!

This part of the fan character guide is subject to change as new facts are added to the lore with every game. Of course, if you don't want to use this guide, you don't have to. Everyone is free to make whatever character they want to represent them, use for roleplay, or otherwise have fun with. This guide is, just for those who want to their creations to be made as if they were a part of the world of Sonic, just made with cohesion.
