Character Analysis: Game Silver

 Background

A hedgehog from 200 years in the future. His timeline was originally ravaged by immortal fire creature known as iblis. Silver spent his life searching for a way to defeat the monster for good, with his best friend Blaze aiding him on his journey. Eventually he meets a mysterious hedgehog named mephiles who tells him he needs to go back in time to kill former hero Sonic the Hedgehog to prevent Iblis from being created. Anyway yada yada yada Mephiles is evil and actually wants to fuse Iblis to form a world destroying monster called Solaris. Silver and Blaze are able to defeat the Iblis in their own timeline, at the cost of Blaze’s life. But using time travel Mephiles merges with Iblis in another time period after killing Sonic himself. Leading Silver to team up with Sonic and Shadow to destroy the god. After the events of Sonic 06, Silver has generally acted as a time traveling hero who works to prevent other time travelers from messing up the past or prevents catastrophes. His current future is a “good” future, and he’s met Blaze again in other time periods.


Abilities

Spin attack/Spin dash

Silver can use the iconic spin dash move that most Sonic characters are capable of doing.


Homing attack

Silver can also use Sonic’s trademark homing attack to dash into enemies.


Psychokinesis

The ability to move matter with one's mind. Silver was born with this power and can move large objects, immobilize opponents and throw things like projectiles. Among other applications.


Flight/levitate

Silver can use his TK to fly in the air or levitate for short periods of time.


Grab all

Allows Silver to grab all nearby opponents.


Hold Smash

Allows Silver to charge a “throw” with his powers.


Meteor smash

A move that gathers 1000s of tons of material and throws it like a wrecking ball.


Psychic knife

Creates a large blade of psychic energy and sends it towards the opponent.


Psycho shock

Teleport dash

ESP

Chaos control/chaos emeralds

A set of mystical objects that are said to grant near infinite power through the use of “chaos energy”. They can often be found hidden in alternate pocket dimensions known as special zones, and are said to turn the thoughts of the user into power. Depending on the types of thoughts and motivations of their user, they will generate either positive or negative energy. Sonic characters typically use the positive energy of the chaos emeralds as a means of transforming into a more powerful state called a "super form". They scatter like dragon balls if all 7 are collected and used at the same time. A person who learns “chaos control” can tap into their power to perform feats of space/time manipulation.


Time/space manipulation

Chaos control can be used to warp between locations or stop time.


Sealing

Chaos emeralds can be used to seal entities into the bodies of other living organisms/


Time travel

Chaos emeralds can be used to time travel. Normally this requires two people invoking chaos control with two emeralds at the same time. But Silver’s confirmed to be able to do this on his own somehow.



Power ups/equipment


Power-ups

Invincibility: Grants invincibility for a limited time.

High Speed: Grants enhanced speed for a limited time.

Shield: Creates an energy shield that can be used to block projectiles.

Ring time: Transmutates nearby enemies into rings.


Gravity band

Ring shaped stones that allow the user to manipulate gravity. They were used in the second Sonic riders game in conjunction with extreme gear to enhance movement ability. Particularly to warp gravity and propel users forward with a move called gravity dive. As well as allowing them to make sharp sudden gravity assisted turns and redirect gravity to other surfaces to run on them(think Mario kart 8).

Special items in Sonic 06 Silver can collect to access new psychokinetic abilities. His level up items include  Single-layered Extreme, power bracelet , Heart of wind and the shock bracelet.

Color power

Color power is a series of states and abilities Sonic can take on by absorbing the “hyper-go-on” energy from a species of alien lifeforms called wisps. Said wisps temporarily (and voluntarily) merge with Sonic giving him this power. In game they tend to be found trapped in capsules, though canonically the wisps can come to Sonic himself to give him help if they so choose. Color powers function more along the line of power-ups and have incredibly short time span for use once activated, so how much it veers on the side of outside help is up for debate. There are also many different colors of wisp correlating to the different powers they provide.


Vehicles

Lightron: Silver’s personal racing car in Sonic team racing.


Extreme gear: Personal hoverboards and vehicles that can be used for high speed travel. Silver’s default gear is the Psychic wave.


Transformations


ESP Silver

A version of Silver that discovered his inner willpower and strengthened his inner telekinetic powers.


Super Silver

A “super transformation” certain characters in the Sonic franchise can use by absorbing the chaos emeralds. The form makes the user nearly invulnerable and enhances their strength substantially. Though normally it only lasts a limited amount of time.


Shield of light

In his superform Silver can create a massive shield of light to block projectiles.


Feats

Strength


Endurance


Speed


Scaling


Sonic and co

Silver should realistically scale to Sonic and most of the base cast due to fighting them on multiple occassions.


Infinite

While Silver ultimately lost, he put up a better fight against Infinite than Sonic initially did. Sonic likewise was later able to beat infinite in a fight.


Emeralds

Silver can utilize the power of singular emeralds.


Super forms/final bosses

Finally as Silver has a superform he should scale to feats from other Superforms or the bosses they’ve fought.
