[Reminder: Thumbnails = evil! - Full view please ]

Sorry.. But that has to be the weirdest BG I’ve ever done… It’s waaaay too.. umm.. flashy? Anyway, it’s doesn’t fit the shading at all >.< But I really wanted to use a firey one so I guess I had no choice. Meh -_-; I didn't want to redo the whole shading. Anyway…

I tried highlighting too.. It didn't came up really good x.x Oh well...
Also, you might notice 2 types of shadings in here.. That's what happens when you first color it, don't touch it for a while and then, when you resume it, you developped a better shading technique (Black first, the otehrs then) I didn't bother highlighting other than the black color.. *lazy/not dedicated* x.x

Okay... Hmm, yes. For the new ones, this is the character that represents me ^^
And for the others, I made some minor changes such as changing the glove and eye color.

Oh and the name? He was partially called like this at some point. When I gave him a last name. Originally, he was named “Sonicolas FlameStream” but I dropped it later. (But brough it back now)

So yeah, on to the description. I developed a little more now.. It’s not 10 lines long like before. XP

FlameStream the Hedgehog

Full Name:
Sonicolas FlameStream

Age:
16

Gender :
Male

Species:
Hedgehog

Fur Color:
Black

Eye:
Yellow

Height:
3.1 feets (-1-2ft comparing to Sonic)

Weapons:
Kunais and shurikens. He can summon them at the cost of chakra/stamina.

Abilities:
Aside from the basic hedgehog abilities(Rolling, Spindash, Spinning jump(?)) he has the ability to control fire and can blend into the shadows at will.

Heat/Fire/Flame Shields (Obviously, this came up with Sonic 3)
He can easily summon an invisible heat shield to protect himself from cold nights. However, if he requires a stronger, hotter shield (Fire/Flame), he must first summon fire in his hands and spin jump in order to the fire to surround him.

Fire/Flameball
The basic fire skill every fire user must learn. He can throw ball shaped fires at his target. The flameball not only burns on contact like the fireball, but it also creates a little explosion, spreading its flames in a wider area.

Blaze (Hehe, Diablo II)
Leaves a trail of fire behind him. He usually uses this when he wants to trap his enemy.

Fire/Dragon Breath (When I saw Sakuke and the 3rd Hokage’s Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu/Karyuu Endan XP It looks soo cool!)
Blows a stream of fire coming from the mouth. The second, stronger level of this technique has the appearance of a flaming dragon coming from its mouth toward his target.

Smoke Bomb
Creates a smoke screen by “choking”(?) a compressed fire. (weird XP) He uses this technique to disable the enemy’s view or to run away from it.

Shadowmeld (Warcraft III Night elves ^^)
Where there’s shadow, he can render himself invisible which is very useful for lurking. He doesn’t seem to be able to fully control it as he sometimes cloaks just by being in a shadow. (He’s not supposed to be always cloaked in the shadows)

Well, I think I’ll limit the techniques to this for now

Other skills:
Has a great ear sense and visibility in the dark. Very useful when collecting information.

Weaknesses:
-Water (Of course ). When in contact with water, he temporarily loses his fire techniques, which forces him to rely on using ninjutsu and kagejutsu only.
-He doesn’t know how to swim.
-Arachnophobia. X.x

Favourite Food:
Fish for meal and raspberry for fruit.

Quote: (Okay this is just something I recently though about.. so it might not be the final one (well, one that will last long)
You never know if you’re being spied, not that it really matters; it’s not like I want you to know it.

Personality:
He’s claims he’s a loner but, really, even though he usually like to be alone, he knows the importance friends have for him. He doesn’t like to sleep but that can’t be helped. He’s also a very patient person.
Some of his friends likes to call him Sonicolas just to tick him off. He doesn’t really like to be called by that name. (Let’s say it’s his real name) Instead, he prefers to be called FlameStream.

Whew… I think I’m done now.. So umm yea.. I tried creating a character that shares a lot of traits/characteristics as me:
-Fur color is black because if my hair color
-Knuckles style eyes because I’m asian
-Fire abilities because of my ability to stand up to heat (I can wear one of those polar coats in summer if you want me to )
-Can’t swim because I simply can’t =/
-Arachnophobia ... o.o;;
-etc..

*The only thing that different from me is the age, eye color and the last part of the personality description. Of course you can call me Sonicolas, I really don't mind
