I am here to introduce my character in a more proper manner (heh, the first thread I made didn't work so well... people sorta lost interest and shtuff...), and so here is the very first Sonic Fancharacter I ever made! He was created when I was about 10 (1997, for those wondering), and I honestly had no idea what sorts of implications making a HEDGEHOG CHARACTER would have. I know I could change it now, but he just... holds too many memories from when I was a kid to want to change him. It'd hurt a little, you know? ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING TO MENTION. I wrote Clutch's backstory completely separate from all of the canon characters. Sonic and crew DO NOT EXIST. This version of the planet is in a completely different dimension, one where NONE of the canon characters have ever existed, and they never will. On this note, I have a pic here so you can properly compare his with Sonic himself. Most of the differences are in the face, truth be told. Click to see in GLORIOUS HD: And with that, I present to you, MY HEDGEHOG FANCHARACTER! YAY I SO ORIGINAL! Name: Charlie "Clutch" Taft Species: Hedgehog Age: 26 Abilities- All due to cybernetic enhancements; Jet powered flight, an arm cannon with a number of different attacks (listed below), electronic (right) eye with infrared and night vision functions, and good sprinting speed and distance (not SUPERSPEED, he has no powers, he was simply an athlete in college before becoming a cyborg). Arm cannons' weapons: -[Main weapon] Plasma blast. Uncharged, 200 total shots. Charges in increments of 50% with a maximum of 4x power. -Tasers. Unlimited use, but they draw their energy from Clutch's own body. Default voltage is standard (50,000 volts initially, dropping to 1,200 volts once contact is made), but can be adjusted either way to account for disabling robots or smaller species. -Hand can be launched on a cord, acting as a grappling hook, a device to reach objects, or even electrified. Voltage is automatically at maximum, and can only be sustained for 3-5 seconds before Clutch becomes too weak. -Tracers. His arm cannon stores up to 10,000, and they have a range of a 2 mile radius. They tap directly into Clutch's cybernetic eye. -Smoke bombs. Can hold up to 500. -Cherry bombs (shrapnel grenade) .Made from reassembling his hand. One extra hand is stored inside his arm, giving him 2 potential shots. -Small missiles. Shot in groups of three, can be controlled slightly. About 2.5 inches long. Holds up to 90. -Raw electricity. Created by ultra-heating the plasma, rather than generating it conventionally. Consumes 10 shots of plasma for each 5 second duration. -Laser. Auto charges to maximum once initiated. Takes 4-5 seconds to charge, during which Clutch is completely immobilized. The laser's diameter is about 3-4 feet across. Lasts for 5-6 seconds. Drains all energy reserves, all shots of plasma, all ignitable ingredients from any explosives, melts and uses any extra metals stored inside arm cannon, and drains nearly all of Clutch's own life force. ONE SHOT ONLY. CANNOT BE USED IF CLUTCH IS ALREADY PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTED. CANNOT BE USED IF MORE THAN HALF OF CLUTCH'S PLASMA SHOTS ARE EXPENDED. CANNOT BE USED IF MORE THAN HALF OF CLUTCH'S EXPLOSIVES ARE EXPENDED. Character Pic.- For an HD version of each individual image, click: Background-Charlie was the star athlete at his college. He participated (and excelled) in every sport he tried. His ability to remember different plays and "shift" so smoothly from one to the next mid game, as well as his quick maneuvering earned him the nickname Clutch. Off the sports field, he the popular guy. A typical jock, even if less muscular than most. Well, most jocks, anyway. His mind was either on sports or girls, and how many of each he could win. He had always been full of himself, but his win streak as well as his continuously increasing popularity simply served to bloat his ego to ridiculous proportions. He never had any actual rivals, being too outgoing for most people to get the chance to go after him. Instead, he clashed the most with his younger brother, Jeremy, a 17 year old punk skater who hated Clutch's overbearing and somewhat delusional personality. Clutch and Jeremy's parents were relatively well off, though not truly wealthy. Neither of the brothers ever truly wanted for anything, though Jeremy would argue otherwise. Then one day, everything changed. It happened during a college soccer game. Clutch had been hogging the ball, as he always did since the rest of the team was mostly unnecessary in his eyes, and Jeremy was complaining about having to be there to watch. The game was interrupted by a huge army of robots like none that had been seen before, lead by an equally mysterious (if not extremely memorable) echidna. In the attack, nearly everyone in the town had been killed. Clutch survived, as did his brother, though Jeremy was unconscious from blood loss. Their parents, however, had been among the first to die. After a briefly mourning, Clutch carried Jeremy into hiding. Clutch had tried over the course of the last year to take up the role of parent for Jeremy, but they rarely did anything other than fight. One night, after Jeremy showed back up from one of his half weekly attempts at running away, the two of them got into an explosive fight. A few black eyes and cheap shots later, Clutch left, telling Jeremy he could fend for himself now that he was 18, and stormed out. He grabbed his helmet, some food, and roared off on his high end, too expensive motorcycle- yet another indulgent a gift from their dad before the attack. Not long after finding his way to the next big city over, an ad pasted to the side of a building caught his eye. It mentioned an experimental over the counter drug for enhancing strength and overall ability. Clutch, seeing himself as already very capable, thought this would be more than enough to give him all he needed to find the echidna and show him how much he appreciated what he'd done the year before. Clutch never once bothered to suspect that this ad was less than truthful. He handled the situation much like he did everything else; made the time for it, did some working out-- just in case, spent an hour or so in front of a mirror, slept, spent another hour or so in front of the mirror-- just in case, and went to the 'doctor's' office ready to mentally count how many girls he was going to score with before leaving. The experimental study turned out to be a front to trick volunteers into signing up for Nanite Implantation Assimilation Experimentation, a process where the subject is put into an induced coma and are introduced to billions of microscopic nano-bots. These nanites eat away the existing flesh, systematically replacing it with themselves before locking into place. Unfortunately (in some respects for Clutch, and in some for the "doctors"), Clutch had been flirting with the receptionist at the desk while he was filling out his papers, and wasn't paying much attention to them. He made some mistakes, and as such the 'doctors' hadn't given him nearly enough drugs to keep him under. He woke up during the process, flailed around drunkenly just enough to damage the equipment in the room, and escaped, permanently halting the assimilation process. After a very awkward period of learning to use his new body, Clutch now sees himself as the single greatest piece of amazing ever to grace the face of the sun. He plans to use his newfound abilities to find that echidna and blast the head off his shoulders. And find a new caliber of girlfriends. Since he's so much more amazing than before.
