Name:
Game of Origin:
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Onwards
Nicknames:
Knucklehead (mostly by Sonic), Red
Age:
19 (Canonly, it's 16. HOWEVER, since as long as he can remember he's been living on AI, and he probably wasn't recording his age, or not correctly so, when he was young, so there are probably years he either didn't count or blended into the other years. So 16 is what he believes himself, 19 would be his 'true' age)
Species:
Anthropomorphic Echidna (possibly short beaked echidna?)
Gender:
Male
Alignment:
Technically neutral, but he has a good heart
Type:
Middle class. Would possibly be heavy if he wasn't three feet tall, but, well, he is.
Residence:
Angel Island is his home- more specifically the shrine to the Master Emerald.
Personal Relationships:
Sonic (friend, former friendly rival), Tails (friend), Amy (friend, though not so much as Sonic and Tails), Eggman (enemy but occasionally duped by him), Rouge (rival and.. uh... crush)
Occupation:
Guardian of the Master Emerald and Protector of the Floating Island With Many Capital Letters
Moveset:
Format copied from Leda because it's effective and because she said I could~
A moves
Right Cross (standard A)- A punch
Endless Punching (holding A)- A LOT of punching. Basically a melee form of the above.
Right Hook, Left Hook, Uppercut Combo (triple A) (straight from SA2)- Combo of punches, obviously going right, left, right.
Uppercut (up + A)- Guess.
Power Jab (left/right + A)- A speedy punch.
Tackle Ram (run + A)- A glomp that does not end in hugging, but rather broken bones and misfortune.
Shovel Punch (down + A)- A combination of a hook and an uppercut. And all pain.
B moves
Shovel Claw Cross (standard B)- Straight punch, only with Shovel Claws.
Spiral Uppercut (up + B) -- Also utilizes Shovel Claws.
Short Spin Dash (left/right + B)- Spindash- but doesn't have nearly the range of Sonic's.
Dig Dodge (down + B) (straight from SA2) -- Possible to come back up in another nearby location, probably dependent on dice roll. Obviously involves digging.
C/Smash moves
Boulder Toss (smash up)- No, not a Pokémon move. Knuckles grabs a huge chunk out of the ground and tosses it upward.
Liver Punch (smash left/right)- Also known as a gutbuster, tends to knock the air out of the opponent.
Double-Fisted Pummel (smash down)- The word "pummel" should tell you everything. The words "Double-Fisted" just make it even clearer.
Z moves
Opponent Grapple (standard Z)- as says.
Headbutt (A/C/Z + grab)- as says.
Hammer Punch (up + grab)- as says.
Haymaker (facing direction + grab)- as says.
Shoulder Throw (opposite direction + grab)- as says.
Piledriver (down + grab)- as says. And also, owwie.
Aerial moves
Jump and Double Jump (jump, up to twice)- As says
Glide (jump twice, holding the second time)- Glorified falling.
Right Swing (A while jumping)- Swings a punch midair.
Diagonal Kick (up + A while jumping)- One of his few kicking moves, throws a kick.
"One-Two Combo" (Jab + Cross) (left/right in facing direction + A while jumping)- Throws a combo of punches midair.
Spinning Backfist (left/right in opposite direction + A while jumping)- A spinning move striking with the back of the fist, like a backhand but less sissy.
Elbow Drop (down + A while jumping)- Brings his elbow crashing down on any opponents below him. Owch.
Other moves
Dash (sharp left/right)- needs no explanation
Parry (L or R)- ditto
Wall Cling (contacting a wall)- ... obvious enough, but should be added he can also climb walls using his... well, namesakes.
Taunts
Issuing Challenge (up) - Pounding fists together and shouting, "Bring it on!!"
Boxing Practice (left/right) - Bouncing from foot to foot while idly practicing punches (his SA2 idle).
C'mon!(down)- Knuckles gestures to the opponent (in a "come here" type fashion), while bouncing from foot to foot. He says, "Is that all you got??"
Final Smash:
Hyper Knuckles- Like Sonic and Tails, Knuckles uses the seven Chaos Emeralds to transform into a super form. In his case, a... lightish red... glowing super form. Unlike Sonic and Tails, however, his super form does not last as long- just long enough for one huge, power earth cracking attack.
Weaknesses:
Though Knuckles is by no means a tank and still target of normal things such as fatigue and wear down, his major weaknesses are mostly mental.
One physical weakness that he does have, however, is that he's a bit clumsy. It's not easy to have finesse when you have huge hands and wearmittens boxing gloves.
For one, he has issues with trust. He both mistrusts people too much and then on the other hand also trusts them too much (sounds like an paradox!). For instance, his friends, the people he should trust the most, he's often distrustful of, seeming to think they're always trying to get to something. But then with people like Eggman, he's always willing to give the benefit of the doubt. It could be because he considers there to be good (and also bad) in everyone, enemy or friend.
Another weakness of his is that while he's not stupid and is very capable of learning, he's spent the majority of his life alone on the Floating Island, not having been properly schooled in anything or subjected to the whims of culture. Because of this, he can be very naive to downright ignorant about various things.
And though Knuckles seems to be (well, is, really) a rough and tough guy, he is a bit sensitive. He's aware that he doesn't know as much as other people, and he's aware that he gets tricked a lot. But when people point out his shortcomings or make him feel inferior, he tends to get upset. And by upset I don't mean "Boohoo, woe is me!" but rather "I'M GOING TO BEAT YOUR FACE IN!". Needless to say, he also has a surprisingly short temper.
Oh, also, girl shy. The easiest way for a girl to throw him off is to hit on him. He won't know what hit him, and might actually just run off in the opposite direction.
Oh and oh, also TERRIBLE at technology. The only thing he can really figure out is an extreme gear, but even that is a bit of a stretch for him.
Personality:
Knuckles has a stern sort of personality and of the Triple Threat, he seems to be the most responsible. He takes his duty and responsibilities very seriously, for instance, protection of the Master Emerald (in fact, those that so much as look at the M.E. funny often get a face full of fist). Of course, he sometimes goes to extremes with this, taking on responsibilities far too heavy for him alone to deal with. It could be because of his responsible nature that he's somewhat rough around the edges around Sonic- as Sonic's laid back, fun loving, free-like-the-wind style is almost the exact opposite of himself.
And Knuckles envies it.
But even despite being one of the more responsible of the three, Knuckles still has his own un-responsible traits. For instance, his rather wild temper. It doesn't always take much to send him into a rage, but when he's there, it's best to watch out!
Likes:
Grapes, any time he gets to relax, hanging out with his friends (if and when he ever gets the chance), treasure hunting, gems (hey, I just said he liked treasure hunting!), Rouge though he'll probably never admit it, the colour green (oh, I wonder why?), ancient history and lore, chao (oh, shut up),ants and termites
Dislikes:
Bright lights (for instance, harsh sunlight, but things such as city lights, spotlights, and etc also bother him), being stuck while all his friends are out having a blast, Rouge's behavior (most of the time...), greed, destruction of ruins, being tricked or fooled in anyway (fool him once, shame on you. Fool him twice, say goodbye to the bones in your face), being pressured, being embarrassed (as in not in a 'you just got tricked way', but more of a... something Rouge would do, way). Obviously, he dislikes much more then he likes.
Appearance:
Red fur, white crescent mark on chest, tanned muzzle, black nose, violet eyes.
Clothing is white (gloves), and red, yellow, and green with silver bits (shoes). Also occasionally has 'shovel claws' and other nicknacks, but those aren't worn frequently enough to mention.
Has a long snout in comparison to most Sonic characters and angular, 'colder' eyes. Also has seven spines, going from short to long, with the exception of the very last spine which is the shortest at the back of his head. Has a long tail with two bends in it, sort of like a sideways Z. Hands have two spurs coming from the knuckle joints (thus his name).
History:
(I wrote up a history once but then the freaking board ATE IT so now I need to rewrite it AGAIN. Maybe this time it's better.)
For as long as Knuckles can remember, he's been living alone on the Angel Island, guarding the sacred Master Emerald. So long that he doesn't even remember anymore why, or who had given him this job, only knowing that it was important- if not for the sake of the present then for preserving the past. The mark on his chest bares witness to a simple fact- Knuckles is the last of a long, long line of Guardians, echidnas who've watched over the M.E. and the island, preserving them from any forces that may wish to steal or corrupt them for over 3,000 years.
For the longest time, Knuckles really was all alone. His people were all long gone, and there was no one for him to be with, other thriving wildlife of the island, the breath of the wind flowing through the island, and the Master Emerald itself. All was peaceful, all was calm- but there's nothing quite like a massive satellite crashing into your home to change that.
Which is exactly what happened. Dr. Eggman's enormous satellite, the Death Egg, had been brought down by Sonic the Hedgehog- directly onto the echidna's island. Needless to say, Knuckles was quite confused- a confusion that Dr. Eggman took full advantage of. Meeting with the Guardian first, Eggman told the echidna that a devious pair of thieves, Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower were prowling the island, and that they'd already stolen a set of Chaos Emeralds from him. Enraged by the thought of thieves on his island, Knuckles went off and did his best to stop the duo, unknowing that he'd just been duped by who would be his future and greatest enemy.
However, eventually after a few skirmishes, things were cleared and the truth was revealed to Knuckles. Realizing that he had been tricked, that Eggman was the actual thief, and that Eggman now had his eyes set on the beloved Master Emerald, Knuckles was set on a mission to stop the madman.
Oh, and Sonic and Tails helped.
The day was, of course, saved, the Death Egg was removed from the island, and Knuckles was once again the lone defender of the Master Emerald.
Things were once again boring., but now, at least, he had some friends. Occasionally he would visit them after making very, very sure the Emerald was secure, racing with them and going on other adventures.
Though, one night, things did go very, very wrong. The ancient echidna water spirit, Chaos, broke free from the Master Emerald as Knuckles slept, scattering fragments of the Emerald across the continent and causing the Floating Island to crash directly into the coast of the Mystic Ruins.
However, as with before, the day was eventually saved. Knuckles regained the fragments of the Emerald and Sonic managed to pacify the roving water spirit, and things were good again.
That is, until the next time there was trouble, in the form of Rouge the Bat, Master Thief. After she stole the Master Emerald right out from under his nose, Knuckles chased the bat to a desert area. But, just when he was confronting her, what else but ANOTHER thief to show up? In a last bid attempt to save the Emerald from falling into the hands of either Rouge or Eggman, Knuckles purposely shattered the Emerald, the pieces once again scattering across the continent. Now in a race against Rouge, he rushed to find every piece, until eventually (and bizarrely) the whole chapter of that story ended in space, with Rouge actually returning the Emerald (apparently it stunk like echidnas do. Knuckles did not find this funny.)
Since then, things have been relatively more calm, though Knuckles still joins in on adventures frequently with his friends, racing, sparring, and saving the world.
Anything else?
