Brought you by that crazy fucker
Koukuji_Family. ...Seriously, it took me
this long to do somethin' Sanic-related?
"I am the ultimate life form, Shadow the Hedgehog! Behold my pow- ...wait, Maria, what are you doing? Hey! Put me down!
Stop cuddling me, dammit!"
...That's right, like the kid said, he's Shadow the "Hedgehog", the ultimate somethin'-or-other. Created by- ...wait a minute, why the heck do I have to explain Shadow's backstory? That's what wikis are for!
History-wise, most everything's about the same as it always was, except... well, he's obviously a human kid, not a fifty-something walking-and-talking animal thing. Personality-wise, he's a little less antisocial, but still kind of a jerk. Then again, if you're title was "Ultimate So-and-So", you'd be a little boastful as well. Doubly so if no one took you seriously because, well,
you're a little boy. He's still got all the powers the original Shadow has, just... weaker. And those bracelets of his are just for show, not some kind of 'power limiter'.
...Also, apparently Maria's still alive where he comes from. How, exactly? I dunno, probably something with Chaos Emeralds or some shit.
