Appearance:




Abilities: Knuckles is an expert in the art of hand-to-hand combat. That matched with his extremely high physical strength makes him a formidable fighter who is a force to be reckoned with. With his fighting prowess he is able to unleash a variety of devastating attacks that bring destruction to his enemies. He can also use the claws on his knuckles to burrow underground (altough typically he needs the Shovel Claw, but let's face it, he doesn't need those anymore.) The echidna can also trap air under his dreadlocks to hover/glide for an alotted time. Knuckles also appears to have limited acsess to the element of fire along with the ability to swim. This echidna also has massive amounts of endurance and must undergo plenty of damage to go down for the count.

Combat moves

Spin Jump: Also referred to as the "spinball jump," Knuckles is able to leap into the air and curl into a spinning, tightly compacted ball of destruction which can destroy enemies and break barriers. The move is rather simple and can be used once every two turns. The damage increases the farther he drops

Drill Claw: When airborne, Knuckles can hurl himself towards the ground, spinning his body fists first at a nearly impossible speed to form a drill. It can penetrate right through foes, or drill him right into the ground for digging, always making the impact with his fists. Just like the spin jump the damage increases the farther he goes. Consequently, the farther he goes the more dizzy he becomes and can only use this every three turns

Spiral Upper: The Spiral Upper is a lot like the Drill Claw, except it is done in an upward direction. Knuckles must quickly run in a circle to set up the maneuver and is then able to leap up and spin his body to form an upwards drill, fists-first. The attack gets very impressive altitudes, up to 15 feet. Unlike the previous two attacks, this one loses power when the opponent is further away. Can be used every three turns.

Screwdriver: Knuckles launches a spinning forward punch toward his foes. Can be used every other turn, mainly as an attack to approach foes.

Quake Punch: As a more ranged attack, Knuckles jumps and punches the ground, causing a small earthquake that damages and stuns his enemies within a 15 yard radius. Consumes plently of power and can be unleashed every four turns. Also must charge up energy for a turn and loses power the farther the opponent is.

Personality: Knuckles is stubborn and hard-headed. Despite this he is actually quite an honest individual. But this usually comes of as him being gullible as he has been tricked numerous times. He frequently loses his temper and prefers to solve problems with his fists. He is a loyal ally and will bring harm to those who place his friends in danger. Just like his mountain home he is rooted to his duty and doesn't stop at anythiing to accomplis his goals. As long as you stay on his good side there should be no problems.

Weaknesses: As a result of his seclusion and his honest and one-track mind, Knuckles is unbelievably gullible. He will take pretty much any kind of bait if you can talk it into him well enough (which isn't difficult). This has gotten him into trouble with Sonic on numerous occasions since Dr. Robotnik always takes advantage of this horrible flaw. While in battle, Knuckles only excels at close quarters, so an opponent who utilizes ranged attacks can quickly get the upper hand on him.

Backstory: Knuckles is the last descendant of the ancient Knuckles clan of echidnas. Knuckles has no idea how he came to be on Angel Island or why he guards the Master Emerald, he simply does. He has been fought alongside Sonic and his friends for the sake of justice and has been tricked into fighting against them due to his gullible nature. Now the Emeralds are shattered and Angel Island has fallen into the ocean, dimensions have merged and new evils have arrived that will attempt to exploit the Emerald's powers. Knuckles will surely stop at nothing to seek out and gather all the Emerald shards.
