Male / 100cm / 35kg (Immortal, Age: 50+ years, Physical appearance: Late teens) Species: Hedgehog Likes: Maria Dislikes: All of humanity He is realistic, cold-headed, and moves only according to his own will. A lone wolf who does not hesitate to use any means to achieve his goals, he is an anti-hero who lacks a sense of justice or heroism but acts to fulfill the dying wish of his precious friend. Deeply scarred by Maria's death, he is originally tender and compassionate, but he tends to act alone and keep others at a distance for fear of losing someone important again. He also becomes terrifying when angry. He has a handsome and sexy appearance, with 7 quills on his head and 3 on his back. His body is black, and he wears 4 Inhibitor Rings on his wrists and ankles. He has red eyes, white chest fur, and red stripes on his quills. He is the Ultimate Lifeform created by Professor Gerald, the grandfather of Dr. Eggman and a genius scientist of the century. He resembles Sonic and possesses similar abilities. He was granted the ability called Chaos Control, which uses the power of the Chaos Emeralds to warp time and space. Shadow's most cherished person is Maria. (Maria was a human female. Because she was weak due to a disease called Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome, she lived in the research facility of Space Colony ARK and could not go outside. She looked at Earth through the laboratory window with interest and longing.) 50 years ago, he lived on Space Colony ARK in space. At that time, her grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, was commissioned by the President of the Federation Government from 13 terms ago to research immortality. He initially intended to refuse, but eventually accepted to overcome Maria's incurable disease, resulting in the completion of Shadow the Hedgehog. Afterward, Maria and Shadow lived like siblings. However, the government sent the military unit G.U.N. to ARK to eliminate Project Shadow, and Maria and Gerald were shot and killed while helping Shadow escape. Before Maria died, she ejected Shadow to safety and left him with these words: "Please, Shadow... for me, someday... give all the people living on that planet a chance to be happy. Fulfill everyone's wishes... You can do it, Shadow. Surely... that's why you were born. Goodbye, Shadow the Hedgehog." He then fell to Earth. However, although she left a will asking him to give humanity a chance to be happy, Shadow's memories were later manipulated by Gerald, leading him to misinterpret it as a request to "take revenge on all Earthlings." Consequently, he stood by while Gerald Robotnik's revenge plan proceeded, but Amy's long persuasion eventually resonated with Maria's true will, making him realize what Maria truly wanted. Thus, carrying on Maria's wish for human hope, Shadow helped Sonic and his friends stop the fall of ARK, and later saved humanity by defeating Black Doom during the invasion of Earth. Since then, he has been making people happy to keep her promise. Depending on the situation, he cooperates with Sonic's group, Eggman, and G.U.N. when they share a common goal, but his bond with Rouge and Omega, with whom he worked in Team Dark, is particularly emphasized. Shadow's Techniques: Chaos Spear: Fires Chaos energy in the form of a spear. Chaos Control: Teleports using the power of a Chaos Emerald. Chaos Blast: Releases Chaos energy from his body to cause an explosion.
