———————————Intro———————————— Silver the Hedgehog is the protagonist of his namesake game releasing August 1st, 2026. This project is intended as an introduction to my version of the character. This is the first in a series of projects dedicated to introducing the characters of Silver the Hedgehog and it’s take on the Sonic Universe. ————Appearance, Personality, and Powers———— Silver is a bipedal, anthropomorphic (or “furry” for short) bright-grey hedgehog from the future. He originally wore zero clothes, just futuristic gloves and shoes, with a large amount of chest fur and quills resembling the shape of a star. Two and a half years later, Silver has gotten more rough around the edges after spending a lot of time in jail, with soot infesting the tips of his quills. He now wears a scarf and belt for utility, and two resistance armbands to remember what those in Sonic’s time fought so hard for. Silver is hardworking and determined, but also naive. He looks at the world with a sense of wonder, but will stop at almost nothing to save it. His eagerness and lack of experience will sometimes lead to him making rash decisions, but he can usually wriggle his way out of them using his psychic prowess. Speaking of which, Silver was born with telekinesis, otherwise known as the ability to move stuff with your mind. He has trained for years, and had plenty of time to improve during his skills while captured, with only the memory of his friends to keep him sane. ———————————History——————————— Finally, Silver debuted in the 2006 game Sonic 06, a game that was intended to be a soft reboot for the series and a launch for SIlver’s character. The game, however, did very poorly, becoming one of the most infamous and ridiculed titles in history, leading SEGA to neglect Silver’s character as a whole, despite his popularity in the fandom Since Sonic 06 is effectively non-canon, I will ignore it and skip over to Sonic Rivals, where Silver’s first true appearance occurs. He comes from the future to stop his counterpart of Eggman from taking over, and allies himself with Sonic and friends. He has received zero significant appearances in mainline games since, but that instead ended up increasing his popularity, as fans patiently wait for his next significant appearance outside of the comics.
