Metal virus

Her appearance now includes carbon fiber stockings, boots, and gloves. Her fur is somewhat neglected, and she only keeps it groomed because Knuckles ordered her to. Even so, her hair has visibly grown longer on the sides and looks slightly messy. She always keeps her mask on. After losing her only friend, “Tangle,” her already cold and distant personality — shy in reality as well — completely shattered. She has not spoken in two years and likely never will again, She never removes her mask under any, behaving almost like a robot that merely follows Knuckles' orders in a cold and mechanical way, responding only with small movements of her head. She is unstable and violent at the slightest sign of insistence, and she sees all infected individuals as targets, no longer caring that they were once ordinary Mobians. If she were to encounter what remains of Tangle, she would not be able to endure it any longer. Before meeting Tangle, and long before the trauma that left her with such a shy and distant personality, she was a very sweet and cheerful girl — silly in an endearing way, highly charismatic, and easily amazed by small things. However, one of her friends betrayed their entire group, the Diamond Cutters, whose members were Smithy the Lion, Slinger the Ocelot, Claire Voyance, and Mimic the Octopus. Mimic was the one who sold them out, leading to their massacre through one of Eggman's indirect schemes, leaving Whisper as the sole survivor simply because she had been farther away. If someone were somehow able to form a new bond with the current Whisper, she would never leave that person's side and would protect them above all else, overwhelming them with attention and care while still displaying an unstable contrast between her two personalities due to how broken she has become. She doesn't like talking about Tangle; it hurts her even to say her name. The other survivors also avoid speaking about her out of respect for Whisper.

Tails and Eggman as scientists and indirect bosses. Knuckles and Amy as bosses. lanolin as she will organize and strategize. Whisper and Silver are among the most useful explorers. Rouge and Cream as refugees, since Cream is barely the same age as Tails and Rouge is sick. He spied as an explorer and detective. Metal Sonic as a continuous explorer. Gemerl as a general protector of the shelter, especially of Cream. and some Mobians.

Spy wears a black cloak like Whisper's, but his covers the lower part of his head, leaving his eyes and everything above them visible. He is the last of the Chaotix group left. His tail is always curled so that it is not an impediment when going out to explore. His mental sanity is only superficially better than Whisper's; he still speaks, but little, and tries not to be rude, but he is clearly affected by the losses.

Knuckles lost an arm due to the metal virus and Tails replaced it with a purple robotic one more similar to "metal Knuckles'" arm. This arm is quite efficient. Knuckles is one of the tallest and strongest members of the base, being quite intimidating and serious, and is constantly stressed.

Amy doesn't wear carbon fiber stockings because her boots are already big enough that she doesn't need them, she always has her quills combed and her sanity is high, just like Knuckles, to give an example a 4, Tails and Spy have 2.5, Metal Sonic has 5 like Eggman, and Cream has 3.5, Whisper has 1, Silver 3.5, her boots are very high actually.

Cream has visibly grown, as her hair now looks more like that of her vanilla mother who has been infected for two years now in stage 4. Cream's dress also resembles her mother's but is more of a crimson color and slightly more padded; she always carries a Chao plushie with her because her friend Cheese also became infected two years ago; she often walks around the shelter.

Better known by his nickname, Tails, he is a Nobian, an anthropomorphic fox species. His nickname comes from the fact that he was born with two distinct twin tails. Due to his anomaly, Tails was bullied during his youth. One day, however, he met Sonic the Hedgehog and was inspired to be as cool as him after seeing him run like the wind. Tails soon began following Sonic on his adventures and has since become his best friend and partner. He can use his twin tails to fly by spinning them like helicopter propellers and is a mechanical genius and pilot. A gentle and sweet soul, Tails was initially timid and lacked courage. After meeting Sonic, Tails became more confident and eventually grew into a more outgoing, brave, and independent individual—a hero in his own right. Since meeting Sonic, Tails has admired him and remained by his side, helping him whenever he can during his adventures. It has orange-yellow fur with white fur around its snout, front torso, and at the tips of its tails. It also has light blue eyes. He is currently 13 years old. After losing Sonic to the Metal Virus, Tails has become more solitary again. He wears a brown leather vest and has both boots and socks as well as carbon fiber gloves. He never leaves the shelter because of the danger his large tails pose. He has become more stressed and has neglected his diet, being cared for only by Amy. He no longer likes to be called Tails and prefers "Miles." He has become slightly more cynical but maintains his old personality, only less extroverted and more stressed. He has several drones roaming the surroundings and together with Eggman they experiment on Chao they capture from the surroundings; a large number of infected Chao are in a warehouse in his laboratory. Metal Sonic usually takes care of his sleep schedule, just like Amy.

On its head it has two triangular ears with rounded edges and a yellow interior. On its back stands out a large rounded triangle of cobalt blue, almost the same size as its torso, with a subtle but visible separation. This triangle resembles a spike but with three vertical and rectangular holes on its sides. At the bottom of the spike there is an abrupt change in shape, becoming flat, and attached to it is a propulsor that is camouflaged very well with the spike, being the main one, although normally it is structural and aerodynamic. Its limbs are long and thin, grayish in color, with shoulders and forearms covered in the same armor. Its forearms are cobalt blue, while its shoulders and mouth are gray, giving it a more square and rigid shape. The arms end in black, glove-like mechanical hands with segmented gray fingers, capable of making a firm and precise fist. Its legs have a similar structure, with calves covered in the same cobalt blue armor, but its feet are rectangular with very rounded edges, flat on the bottom, and red in color. The middle part of each foot is submerged inwards, forming a cube that reveals the grayish base. At the rear, it has thrusters that combine with those on its back to allow it to reach absurd speeds while assuming a ramming position.

But after two years of the infection, his paint has worn away, and he tries to be the real Sonic even more than he already did. His relationship with Tails isn't the healthiest, because he treats Tails the way Sonic would, even calling him Tails even though he prefers Miles now. He uses Tails Doll (the robotic plush toy that Robotnik made a few years ago) as a radar because of the gem on its head. It has been repaired with badniks in an improvised manner and one of its hands is now a red pincer.

Metal Sonic is a humanoid android with a zoomorphic form, designed to replicate and physically surpass Sonic the Hedgehog. His body structure is slim, aerodynamic, and compact, designed for maximum speed and mechanical efficiency. He stands approximately 1.43 meters tall, with balanced proportions that prioritize mobility and stability during high-speed movement, especially to avoid deterioration at these speeds. Its body is covered in cobalt-blue metallic armor, made of smooth, gleaming plates that reflect light evenly. These plates have no organic textures or irregularities, reinforcing their artificial nature. A bright yellow circular core is embedded in its torso, swirling seamlessly into the center of its chest. This core serves as both a power source and a key structural point. Visible and a stark contrast to the rest of its body, it remains undamaged in combat despite its exposed state. The head is rounded and stylized, with a shape that mimics the overall silhouette of Sonic, although more rigid and angular, being more specifically that of a comet with three peaks that go backwards, large and that are part of the overall structure of the head, especially the one that begins at the crown of the head which is thicker. It lacks a mouth, and what would be its snout or mouth is completely smooth and gray, with only two very visible screws on its cheeks and a small, cone-shaped nose. Its eyes are represented by a single dark visor that covers a large part of its face. Starting from the first centimeter of the visor, there is a curve that forms a rounded triangle, a plate that is also part of the overall structure of the head, giving it a serious appearance but without actually joining its mouth. Its pupils are projected onto the visor, being red and oval with a donut-like structure.

Dr. Eggman, a brilliant scientist with an IQ of 300, is driven by a desire to conquer the world and establish his own empire, the Eggman Empire. A central element of his vision is Eggmanland, an amusement park he seeks to build as the backbone of his regime. His ambitions are fueled by his love of machines and his extreme egomania.

Dr. Eggman constantly hatches plans to dominate the world, ranging from using animals to feed his robots, known as Badniks, to building enormous war machines, harnessing ancient powers, and manipulating space-time itself. Despite his ingenuity, his plans are always thwarted by Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends. However, Dr. Eggman remains steadfast, always managing to escape and continue his quest for conquest. His narcissism and immature behavior often lead to his downfall, but his relentless pursuit of power makes him one of the most dangerous threats in the universe.

He is currently working with Tails to find a cure, although he actually already has one, and hasn't revealed it because he's waiting for Sonic to enter the fourth stage of the infection (No one knows about this cure except Eggman). He doesn't use carbon fiber; he still wears his usual attire.

Species: Anthropomorphic hedgehog. Gender: Male. Coat color: Very light gray or silver (almost white), with a tuft of white fur on the chest. Eye color: Golden. Hair/thorns: The head ends in spiny spikes: it has two large spines on the back of the head, and five front spines curved upwards and backwards (the last two cover part of the ears). Clothing and accessories: She wears white gloves with gold embellishments and light blue markings. Her boots are mostly white and navy blue, with gold cuffs (usually featuring a red gem on the palms). Weapons/Equipment: He does not carry conventional weapons. His main "weaponry" is his psychokinesis (telekinesis) power, which in illustrations is usually shown with a cyan aura around him when he uses it. Facial Expressions / Posture: He is depicted in dynamic, upright postures when using his powers, often with a determined or focused facial expression. When he activates his psychokinesis, he appears surrounded by a cyan glow or aura. Additional details: The skin visible on its face and arms is peach-colored. It has no scars or unusual marks, and its canines are neither visible nor prominent. His personality is naive, somewhat silly, but with an enormous desire for justice and morality; he is a very sweet and kind person, but if necessary, he is willing to kill without hesitation. His future is ruined by events happening in the present, so he often travels to the "present to help solve the problem." His future has been a hell on three occasions and he has restored it on two of them, currently in the present helping as he can, without eating much or resting well in order to continue helping constantly.

His personality remains the same, but he appears fatigued and tired, sometimes daydreaming. After an accident, he lost sight in one eye and wears an eye patch, in addition to being bandaged on his limbs and torso. Fortunately, he is immune to the Metal virus.

Mimic is a Mobian, specifically an anthropomorphic octopus with a bluish-violet color. It has a large, flabby head with six small protrusions on top and four long tentacles with dark bluish-violet tips that extend from its head almost to its ankles. Suckers can be seen on its hands and feet. Mimic has white eyes with black sclera and a white chocolate-colored snout with wrinkles on the beak and a black mark just above it, making its face look like a skull.

As clothing, he wears a small, ragged gray cloak with ragged gray sleeves and leg warmers of the same thin fabric, all of it ragged. his/her personality: Known for his relentless pursuit of prestige and wealth, Mimic—in keeping with his shapeshifting abilities—is an ominous, sinister, manipulative, ruthless, cunning, and violent sociopath with little respect for others. He is a notorious liar and traitor, delighting in deceiving others and betraying any ally if it suits his purposes. He has no qualms about murder. He doesn't believe in higher ideals, asserting that heroes become martyrs while professionals merely survive. However, he is also a coward; he dislikes causing scandals, resorting to undermining and deceiving others into doing his bidding, and he fears those stronger than himself, such as Metal Sonic. He wields combat knives with serrated spines with great skill. Mimic has the ability to transform into anyone he wants, allowing him to impersonate others, whether organic beings or robots. He can also replicate torn pieces of clothing.

About two months ago, he impersonated Lanolin the Sheep, kidnapping the real Lanolin and holding her hostage in an unknown location. He is part of a rival faction and is currently infiltrating the group as the real Lanolin.

Lanolin is a Mobian, specifically an anthropomorphic sheep with cloudy white wool on her head as hair, with a large frontal tuft of wool; and four smaller ones like wool "buns" held with bands, a beige snout with a salmon-colored nose and slate-blue eyes with light blue sclera and two eyelashes on each. Her clothing consists of green cargo pants, military boots, a light brown sleeveless shirt with a slightly yellow tone, and black fingerless gloves and elbow pads. It has small black horns and long, drooping ears. Its eyes have visible dark circles and its fingers have black tips, and it has a noticeably prominent bust.

Her personality is quite strategic and bossy, as she is someone whose anxiety is functional. She always thinks with common sense and doesn't rely on luck. She always tries to make everything make sense and takes things very seriously, appreciating those who are competent. She is someone who is often quite stressed but always seeks what is best for the common good. She's not a heroine like Sonic; she's just someone very competent who seeks the survival of everyone with a genuine but realistic desire, with a very strong need to maintain control.

He usually uses rifles or his bell to attack.

The metal virus affected him quite a bit mentally, but he managed to maintain his composure despite the anxiety and stress.

A few months ago she lost her wisp (actually, since she was replaced by Mimic, he simply had no way to replace the purple wisp).

The Metal Virus, as its name suggests, is a metallic virus spread through physical contact. Much like oil soaking into fabric, once it comes into contact with any organic matter it becomes impossible to remove — this includes cloth and anything derived from animals. Fortunately, it cannot infect conventional metal, stone, or anything completely unrelated to living organisms. Trees are also vulnerable, although their infection process is significantly slower. Once infected, the virus spreads throughout the body in less than half an hour. The victim feels cold — a freezing sensation so intense it burns — as every inch of the virus slowly covers their body. However, consciousness is only lost once the final centimeter of organic skin has been consumed. The Metal Virus is made of uncontrolled nanodroids that endlessly replicate themselves, although they are limited to contact-based infection. It is vulnerable to fire and energy-based weaponry.

The Metal Virus is completely incapable of infecting carbon fiber. Because of this, Tails designed boots, stockings, and gloves made from the material for explorers to wear. Carbon fiber permanently turns light cyan when it comes into contact with the Metal Virus, although the color change has no practical effect. There is a one-month gap between Stages 1 and 2, a two-month gap between Stages 2 and 3, a five-month gap between Stages 3 and 4, and approximately one year between Stages 4 and 5.

Stage 0: This stage refers to when the individual is still conscious and currently undergoing infection. Even at this point they are already dangerous to others, as even contact with an area not yet visibly infected still carries a risk of contamination. Stage 1: The individual is now fully infected. Sharp protrusions emerge from their body like spikes. Their clothing is also affected by these growths since fabric itself becomes part of the infection target. Infected individuals completely lose consciousness and behave like extremely aggressive zombies, although they are generally slow and possess virtually no reasoning ability. Stage 2: The infected person's clothing begins merging with their body while the protrusions continue to grow. Their limbs begin extending slightly. At this stage, infected individuals regain the abilities they once possessed in life, if they had any, and become somewhat more intelligent. Stage 3: The final recoverable stage. Their limbs become grotesquely elongated, with holes beginning to appear in areas such as the tail. Rust starts becoming visible across the body. Any remaining traces of intelligence disappear as they become far more savage and animalistic. Stage 4: The infected is now entirely metal. There is nothing left to save. Their body stretches beyond recognition, becoming either terrifyingly aggressive and dangerous or so horribly deformed that movement itself becomes difficult. Rust and holes throughout the body become far more pronounced. Stage 5: The body fuses itself to nearby structures like a giant web, leaving only the infected heads hanging from the metallic mass while releasing a poisonous rust-colored gas. The gas itself is not infectious, but it smells of decomposition and corrosion. For obvious reasons, inhaling it is highly discouraged. The Metal Virus is completely incapable of infecting carbon fiber. Because of this, Tails designed boots, stockings, and gloves made from the material.

Sonic. Sonic is currently a stage 3 infected. Being infected, his speed decreased considerably, but he is still brutally fast. His feet became smooth due to friction, and his speed keeps him in stage 3, although not for long. His color is metallic blue, and he has a large hole in his chest as well as more moderate holes in his limbs. His eyes are black with red irises and he always maintains a creepy smile, his limbs are a darker color and his legs are bent backwards like those of a quadruped animal, Tails has a locator on him.

vector. Vector the Crocodile is currently the most aggressive and dangerous infected. He measures at least 3 meters, having grown noticeably after becoming infected. His color remains metallic green, and his snout is cut and glued together, almost separating into four segments. Like Sonic, his eyes are black with red irises. It has claws on both its hands and feet, and its back and tail are covered in metallic protrusions. It is a stage 3 infected, intelligent in terms of instincts, so it will stalk its prey before acting.

Shadow. Shadow is a stage 1 infected person. He has been infected for at least a year and the metal virus has not progressed at all. With only a few protrusions on his body and an intense reddish-black color, he has a third eye on his head and despite everything, he is not violent at all. He keeps his distance from the other infected. The reason he is docile (no one knows this for sure) is because Shadow is in an eternal illusion where he sees everyone as Maria, so his first instinct is to flee so as not to harm her.

Whisper the Wolf – Its fur is mainly biscotti-colored (a light beige), with "cloudy" white patches around the eyes and brown parts on the muzzle and ears. Key physical characteristics: Species: Anthropomorphic wolf Gender: Female. Coat color: Mainly biscotti (light beige), with areas of diffuse grayish white (“white facial mask”) and a light brown muzzle. Eye color: Cadet blue (a soft grayish blue) Hairstyle/Hair Characteristics: She wears light blonde hair pulled back in a high ponytail, secured with a black ribbon; she has long bangs that partially cover her right eye. Her eyelashes are thick, and she wears light gray eyeshadow under her upper eyelid. Distinctive Clothing and Accessories: He wears dark tactical attire. This includes a long black hooded cloak, a beige strapless bandeau top, and tight gray pants. He also wears black elbow and knee pads, black gloves with gray palms (with claws at the tips), and black combat boots with steel toes. In addition, he wears an ornamental white mask (inspired by Japanese kabuki masks) that covers the right side of his face. Weapons or equipment: His main weapon is the variable Wispon, a customizable energy device that channels the powers of his Wisps. In his cape he carries several capsules with allied Wisps (light beings) that he uses in combat. Facial expressions and posture: He generally displays a serious and reserved expression. He usually keeps his eyes half-closed (almost closed) and his mouth often has a slight frown. This calm and focused appearance gives him a naturally alert and stealthy look in combat. Additional design details: Its most striking feature is its ornate white face mask, which covers part of its face. Its front fangs are somewhat pronounced and visible even with its mouth closed. It has pointed ears and a long, bushy tail with a fragmented tip.

The torso is broad and armored in black and gray, with an abdomen segmented into flexible gray panels that allow for rapid twisting, and three concentric gray circles on the chest that act as energy cores or cooling fans, emitting vapors or light pulses during overloads; on the back, a compact rectangular jetpack with exposed yellow and black nozzles propels blue flames for sustained flight, supersonic dashes, and powerful aerial spin attacks, with foldable wings that deploy for evasive maneuvers. This module generates boosts that rival Sonic's speed, allowing for horizontal or vertical propulsion with trails of smoke and particles in the game's visual effects. Its arms are proportionally long and articulated, with smooth gray upper segments connected to rotating black spherical shoulders for full range of motion; the forearms are wrapped in thick black armor ending in articulated five-fingered gray fists with retractable claws for precise gripping or devastating punches, and fin-like yellow fins at the elbows that serve as aerodynamic covers; these arms house integrated launchers that fire bursts of homing missiles with compact explosions. The torso narrows slightly into black, spherical hips before widening into powerful, columnar legs: robust gray thighs for high jumps, armored shins in black with curved yellow knee pads that protect against impacts and facilitate spinning kicks, and wide feet in the form of gray boots with thick, non-slip black soles for traction on varied terrain; in some depictions, circular yellow lines encircle the ankles for additional reinforcement and high-tech aesthetics.

Gemerl never leaves the shelter and dedicates himself entirely to protecting Cream, either alone or at a moderate distance, sometimes being a little rude indirectly.

It is a humanoid robot with a compact, high-tech appearance, boasting a robust and symmetrical physique that highlights its advanced and lethal combat design. It evokes an aerodynamic, armored silhouette ready for supersonic battle. Standing approximately 100 centimeters tall and weighing an estimated 50 kilograms, it is constructed from a lightweight, reinforced alloy, giving it a balanced and voluminous structure in its torso and limbs. Its athletic proportions emphasize stability and explosive power, captured in detailed polygonal models with gleaming metallic textures, specular highlights, and deep shadows that simulate polished surfaces and fluidly moving spherical joints. Starting with the head, it is perfectly spherical and black, with a matte finish that contrasts with the vibrant yellow accents. A prominent, curved, golden-yellow horn stands out in the center of the forehead, with sharp lateral spikes extending like stylized wings. At its core is a central, gem-like blue eye that glows with internal energy, surrounded by a reflective ring that projects scanning beams or blasts during attack sequences. The primary eyes are two intense blue orbs with angular red rims and pointed black pupils, giving a mechanical and relentless gaze that flashes during lock-on to targets. These are flanked by semicircular gray caps that resemble compact ears, sensitive to directional sensors. The mouth is a smooth, rectangular gray plate, devoid of organic expression, which occasionally opens to reveal internal gears or emits sonic waves during special attacks. All of this is rendered with crisp contour lines and radial shading for three-dimensional volume. The torso is wide and armored in black and gray, with an abdomen segmented into flexible gray panels that allow for rapid twisting.

Dr. Eggman is a tall, obese human with a small, bald head. He has a distinctive pink nose and a bushy, auburn mustache. [7] His eyes, which are rarely seen, are blue. [7][32][note 1] The classic Eggman is 140 centimeters (4 ft 7 in) tall and weighs 100 kilograms (220 lb), [33][note 2] while the modern Eggman is 185 centimeters (6 ft 1 in) tall and weighs 128 kilograms (282 lb). [3]

Dr. Eggman's classic design features a perfectly spherical torso with slender but proportionate arms and legs. He wears a red shirt with a short yellow cape, fastened at the shoulders by a triangular collar, black trousers with boots, and a pair of large silver buttons down the front. This outfit is complemented by white gloves and blue glasses that completely conceal his eyes. His mustache is neatly groomed, with only three strands sticking out at each end. Dr. Eggman is depicted as somewhat taller and more robust. His arms and legs have become long and almost disproportionately thin, while his mustache has become more unkempt. As for his attire, he retains his signature glasses and gloves, but incorporates the "Egg Glasses" that sit atop his forehead, though he rarely wears them. He now wears a red jacket adorned with four gold ingot-shaped buttons on each side of the chest, each accompanied by white straps that extend to additional identical buttons on the back. The jacket features silver linings on the back, arms, and front, yellow cuffs, and two front extensions with large silver buttons. Furthermore, Dr. Eggman wears black trousers with matching boots, which have circular plates on either side of the ankles and three square plates extending up to the shin.
