Age: 23 Height: 4'6" Weight: 100lbs Knuckles The Echidna is an anthropromorphic echina born with the sword duty of guarding the Master Emerald and the floating island it sits on, Angel Island. APPEARANCE Knuckles is an echidna with a stocky, powerful frame, having red fur that covers most of his body and tan fur that covers his muzzle, along with a white crescent on his chest. He has seven large, dreadlock-like quills on the back of his head and a medium-length, kinked tail. He has purple eyes and a small, black, sharp nose. He wears white gloves with two spikes at the knuckles and red sneakers with a yellow stripe over the middle, along with a six-studded metal plate on top. They have green cuffs. PERSONALITY Knuckles is stoic, hardheaded, short-tempered, yet deeply kind-hearted person. He takes his duty as Guardian of the Master Emerald/Angel Island very seriously, hostile towards any intruders or threats. He spends very little time off of Angel Island, and as such is quite gullible, though he isn't stupid. Furthermore, he possesses a burning hatred for injustice. POWERS Knuckles is easily one of the strongest living beings alive, capable of causing tectonic activity with his punches and lifting immense weight. His durability scales directly to it. For reasons unknown, he is able to glide through the air; he can also use the spikes on his knuckles to climb vertical surfaces. He has limited pyrokinesis, able to punch hard enough to combust the air around his fist, making it hit harder. While he's not a speedster, he can run very fast.
