Creators Foreword
For a very long time, This character, in both iterations was my main. That was a long time ago, but he's still the only character I have created that has any kind of complex back story. When I first came up with him, his name was Blue-Star, and well, that was taken, so I tried to come up with a new name, after some tinkering, I took the name Sonic Star, and changed him into more of a speedster type than just a natural Vigilante type. I Had originally planned a career spanning story arc, but I was simply too lazy to write out a set of Stories every ten Levels, but there's alot of character development/explaining that kinda got ignored because I didn't write them. I'm going to do my best to include it in this character profile though. Personally, while I love the Character, I need to stop adding more crap onto him, his back story is getting to be more ridiculous than some actual comic book characters.

Personality
Generally Reserved, has been known to make wisecracks in the presence of other Heroes with whom he is well acquainted. He has a strong sense or Honor, and believes highly in the Bushido Code, confronting his foes head on. Prefers not to kill, but because of extensive Military training, will not hesitate to do so if necessary.
Powers
Sonic Doesn't actually have any powers of his own. However, it should be noted that his body produces almost three times the amount of Chi produced by a normal human being. The Source of this abnormality is unknown.
Offensive Skills
Sonic is trained in several Martial Arts passed down through his Family line, and is capable of lightning fast attacks using an Katana
His main style is a mixture of two fighting styles passed down through his Family. The "Shooting Star Style" As it's been nicknamed, is a mixture of the "Raven's Wing" Style perfected by his Father, and the "Hawk's Talons" Style Created by his Grandfather. However all of these styles are merely attempts at recreating the "Thunder's Fury" Style brought back from Japan by Sonic's Great Great Grandfather Robert after a trip to Japan during the 1800's. Mastery of the Thunder's Fury Style was rumored to give it's practitioner complete power over their own Chi Flow. The Style, sadly has been lost to the ages, with Robert Allen having taken it's secrets to his grave.
His Secondary Style is known as the "Sonic Slash" and utilizes the Katana. The style is based off of lightning quick attacks, with some even being able to use air to extend the cutting radius of the blade. This Style too, has been passed down through generations, being used by Great Grandfather Michel.
((If you can't tell by now, Sonic's Lineage, while it's something I haven't really gone into before this is actually quite important.))
Defensive Skills
Sonic has been trained in two Ancient Defensive Techniques. These Techniques are improved by two relics he carries on his person at all times. (The Tengu Blade, And The Champions Belt)
The First, Creates a Subtle Aura of Chi (Known as a "Chi Field") around his person, which dampens the damage of physical attacks, and is augmented by the Champions Belt, Natural Skin Hardening Techniques, and the Kevlar Mesh of his Supersuit.
The Second, creates a weak electrical field around him, which is directly connected to his central nervous system, and works as a sort of "Sixth Sense" Allowing for much Higher Reaction times, and is created by the Tengu Blade, and when paired with the Speed enhancing abilities of the Crest of Hermes can be incredibly effective.
Additional Skills
Sonic has been trained in basic hand to hand fighting and marksmanship by the US Military, however, he does not often carry a firearm.
Travel
Sonic Star is basically a speedster. There are 3 Main sources of his speed, Training, The FSPA's Nano Augmentation, And the Crest of Hermes.
Weaknesses and Limitations
Well, he's only human, and he's most certainly mortal. He can be killed like any other man, it's just a bit harder to pull off. (It's been said that he's "Simply Too Stubborn To Die") It is also almost impossible for him to utilize all of his Fighting Styles and Defensive stances at the same time.
Equipment
Most of Sonic's equipment has been passed down through the generations. It was left for him by a mysterious benefactor, along with a complete costume in his Kings Row apartment after he registered for a hero license. However, he recovered the Tengu Blade after attaining Security Level 50, in the same manner.
The Crest of Hermes- A Greek Artifact once thought to belong to the Messenger God Hermes. Recovered by Michel Allen after a mission for the Meta-human Research Agency. The Crest, when worn allows it's user to move at much higher speeds than that of an average human being.
The Champions Belt- A Lovely Example of Golden Age Technology created for Theo Allen (Sonic's Grandfather) by the MRA. It's main purpose is to Store Excess Chi for use in desperate situations. The Temporary boost it gives can skyrocket the effects of Sonic's "Chi Field", however, due to a flaw in it's design, when it runs out of stored energy, it will completely drain it's user, leaving them weak and exhausted.
The Future Soldier Prototype Body Armor- The Last Great hurrah for the MRA's R&D team, it utilizes Nanite Supertech to create a super strong, superflexible Kevlar armor, that also augments it's users strength and speed. The original Prototype was worn by Grant Allen, while this is a Second Generation unit.
The Tengu's Blade- An Ancient Katana of Mystic Origin brought from Japan by Robert Allen. Given to him by A Tengu (A Japanese Thunder Demon Known to take Young men of Exceptional Bravery under their Wing) The Blade's true creator and Origin are unknown. The Blade is Highly energized, and creates an Electrical Field around anyone who is worthy of wielding it. Those who aren't, simply receive a constant strong electrical shock. The True extent of it's power is unknown.

Trivia
The Catastrophe Clause
What the heck is a Catastrophe Clause you might ask... Well, the best way I can explain is to first, ask a simple question. Ever Play all the way through Any Capcom action game? Well if you have, you've probably seen the Catastrophe Clause at work. Basically, in those games (Devil May Cry, Onimusha: Dawn of Souls, Lost Planet Etc.) At the end of each game is an opponent of almost godlike power, which under most circumstances, the main character wouldn't be able to defeat in a thousand years (Fortinbras from Onimusha is an actual GOD mind you.) However, there's always some kind of Clause that allows your Character to exceed their normal power limits by far, and come out on top. All of my main characters have one of these for RP reasons, however, their usage is well, for utter and True Catastrophe, and most of them would have dire consequences to use. Sonic's clause is the Thunder Strike Skill, and the True power of the Tengu Blade. When using both of these Imagine... Well, I imagine an MA/Inv/Katana/SR/Elec Blast/Elec Melee/Regen/Energy Blast Character, who never runs out of Endurance. Yeah. The Clause will probably never be invoked, because if I do, I'd probably have to kill Sonic off afterwords to keep him from being simply ridiculous.
Sidekicks
Over time, Sonic has had two Sidekicks both female, neither of whom lasted very long. The first was a Trick Arrow/Archery Defender, whom I played to about lvl 12 before deleting. I may bring her back at some point, because she is nicely written into my Origin Story, though not as a hero. The Second was a Empathy/Sonic Blast Defender, Played by my Girlfriend, who's backstory made little to no sense. The character hasn't been played Since we broke up, but to my suprise the character still exists.
Influences
Sonic is my Mixture of Batman and Captain America more or less, however, some things I have created have been taken from other places. The Future Soldier Prototype Combat Suit is something that's actually in development by the US Military, albiet less advanced and under a different name. I've always been tempted to create a Blaster Version of Sonic, due to my undying love of 2d fighting games, but have thus far resisted temptation.
