Whirlwind Reyes

This is an article about Whirlwind the Hedgehog, the fursona of SupeSonicWind2000 on 08/21/2013.

Whirlwind the Hedgehog is the fursona of SupeSonicWind2000. He is a high-blooded hedgehog with a good sense of leadership. At a young age, however, Whirlwind was quite lonely for reasons he chooses to keep away from those who don't know. Whirlwind also has a manifestation of Chaos, named Wrath, inhabiting his body.

Physical Appearance
Whirlwind's fur color is yellow. He has peach skin and blue eyes. When enraged, his eyes turn red.

Attire
Whirlwind wears a black-and-grey hoodie and light blue shorts. He also wears white gloves with sock cuffs, and blue boots with white straps and grey sock cuffs.

Early Life
Not much is known of Whirlwind's past. The only factors of Whirlwind's past are kept secret by Whirlwind himself, though no one is aware of this.

Learning of Wrath
When Whirlwind, at the age of 11, had first been sent to South Island, he discovered that he apparently had a manifestation of Chaos inhabiting his soul. At first, Whirlwind was terrified, but began to learn how to control it. However, he was unsuccessful and began talking to the manifestation, who was known as Wrath, in his sleep. Eventually, he unwillingly weaponized the demon's power and almost caused a huge incident on the island.

Discovering His Past
(These events are from Secrets of Chaos.)

Whirlwind, at the age of 16, has made more friends before the events of this roleplay, including Xero, Sarah, and Coral, who is Floodon's wife. Whirlwind and James have become very close friends by this point and frequently go adventuring together.

The story starts when Whirlwind and James go to look for Eggman, after destroying Monic, who captured them earlier. They discover that Eggman has hatched another plan to take over the world and build his Eggman Empire. They are spotted by some Egg Pawns and reveal themselves to Eggman and demand an explanation about Monic, who Eggman doesn't remember.

Unfortunately, before they got anywhere, another robot named Titanus attacks. Whirlwind and James begin to fight Titanus. To James' dismay, however, Whirlwind let Wrath take over and nearly finished him off, if Whirlwind didn't recover fast enough to command to cease his attack. Instead, he throws it to James, who bats it back to Wrath with his Keyblade.

However, before they can finish him off, another robot named Bion swoops in and saves Titanus. Eggman finally remembers Monic and is outraged. Whirlwind orders James to take Titanus to a safe spot as not to cause any further damage. Whirlwind is about to fight Bion, who didn't intend to look for one in the first place.

Eggman escapes, but Whirlwind finds some blueprints, which reveals plans for a new Egg Fleet. Bion and Whirlwind set out to to find James and Titanus. They enter a cave but end up in a fork. Whirlwind's aura sense indicates that James and Titanus are in the left path.

James and Titanus are walking around a deeper area of the cave. Whirlwind finds them, only for James to look through the trap. "Whirlwind" transforms into a creature called a "Chaos-spawn" and attacks. More begin to appear and the would've been in bigger trouble if the real Whirlwind hadn't showed up on time, along with Bion.

The Chaos-spawn retreat after sensing Wrath and they leave the cave and head to Westopolis, where Angel Island is above at this time. Before the group arrives, however, Whirlwind sensed an assassin and proceeds to attack. However, James stopped him before he killed her. The assassin is revealed to be a friend of his, Astrid the Fox. Despite this, Whirlwind lets Astrid join the party.

The group decides to find the Chaos Emeralds, one of which was already in James' possession. However, they were short on members. Luckily, Blaze and Midnight arrived to see Sonic, but decide to help the group out. With that, the group, save Whirlwind, Sonic, and Knuckles, head out to find the other 6 Emeralds.

Eventually, they manage to gather the Emeralds, but the Egg Fleet and Chaos-swarm already arrived. Whirlwind, Sonic, and James head out to join the battle.

Memories Abound

Pride's Rise to Power
(These events are from Chaos Vengeance, which is yet to even start.)

COMING SOON...

The Blitz Pit
Whirlwind enters as a participant of the Blitz Pit Tournament. His first opponent is Nate the Hawk. The fight ended in a draw, however.

Resurgence
Whirlwind appears as normal, but is not canonical to his storyline whatsoever.

Personality
Whirlwind is one of those people with a strong will to fight. Although, Whirlwind is a kind-yet-high-blooded person, willing to accept most of his friend's requests (Unless if he's tired or if the request is ridiculous).

While this is true, Whirlwind's body can be overtaken by Wrath whenever Whirlwind's anger builds up enough. Due to this, some of Wrath's anger has built onto Whirlwind himself so he is easily annoyed.

James Hedgefox
As of late, James is Whirlwind's best friend and colleague when it comes to G.U.N. They are frequently together whenever they're on a mission, trying to stop Eggman or any kind of threat, etc.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic was Whirlwind's first friend back in South Island when he (referring to Whirlwind) was only 11. They were separated for a long time after Eggman's attack on the island. It was only about a few years ago that Sonic and Whirlwind are reunited and is revealed to him that Tails has been keeping him company since the attack on South Island.

Glacier Von Fang
Glacier is one of Whirlwind's closest friends. While she finds him to be a kind person, Whirlwind is afraid of revealing his full power and his angry-self, but is still close with her nonetheless. Whirlwind had a crush on her before, but was too shy to admit so. Whirlwind first met Glacier when he drifted to the elemental land of Huntstonia. He was found by Carlos Von Fang and brought to his home. During his stay,  the two formed a seemingly unbreakable bond, and in turn, developed said crush on her along the way.

During Secrets of Chaos, Whirlwind entrusted the task of defending Westopolis along with everyone who could help. She watched the rest of the events from there.

Floodon Flowstris
When Glacier and her siblings, along with Voltage, whom he didn't know of back then, moved to Blue Ridge Zone. Whirlwind decided to part ways with Glacier and stay in Central City on his own. But since he was orphaned and likes being alone whenever he's in a city, he just stayed in an alley. A few days later, he came across Floodon, who was 14 at the time, and decided to hang out with him for the rest of the day. Despite the fact that Floodon always looked sad, they got along pretty well. Eventually, he learned that he married Coral the Hedgehog.

Wrath
Wrath inhabits Whirlwind's body and takes over during drastic measures. Wrath was injected to Whirlwind's body to recover the boy when he was in a coma, who would die if not given proper treatment.

Voltage Bouncealot
Whirlwind is one of the many reasons why Voltage can be a very unlikable person, due to the fact that he mistook her for a guy, which she overreacted to. Although, the two did reconcile on the fight that happened right after that incident. Despite this, Voltage still dislikes Whirlwind to a certain extent.

Astrid the Fox
Whirlwind met Astrid while on his way to Angel Island with a few friends during Secrets of Chaos. Whirlwind, after knocking Astrid down, attempts to kill her with his revolver but is immdeiately stopped by James, who confiscates his revolver, and learns the consequence of taking Whirlwind's firearms along the way. Since then, Astrid and Whirlwind seem to have a frienemy relationship.

Shadow the Hedgehog
While Shadow is one of Whirlwind's superiors, the two have no general liking to each other as friends. Still, Whirlwind respects Shadow due to the latter's tragic history with G.U.N. and his expertise with the use of Chaos Energy. Although, Whirlwind and Shadow like to spar with their powers to see who's the stronger one. (Though, this is yet to be seen.)

Pride
Whirlwind's arch-nemesis finally reveals himself in Chaos Vengeance. Eldest of the 7 Demons of Chaos, Pride is far more powerful than Wrath in every aspect, except for physical strength.

Carlos and Brittany Von Fang
Whirlwind has a good relationship with Carlos before his and Brittany's deaths. He was the one who saved Whirlwind from suffering from the harsh cold and restored him to full strength overtime.

However, Whirlwind's relationship with Brittany is, as of late, unknown. They were probably on good terms. Either way, they were both grateful that Whirlwind offered to take care of the Von Fang sisters whenever the two were out.

Self-taught Kickboxing
Whirlwind mainly uses his own self-taught style of kickboxing for his physical finesse.

Reflexes and Agility
Complimenting his speed, Whirlwind also possesses very quick reflexes and agility. His aura sense backs these two skills up.

Super strength
Whirlwind possesses a good amount of strength. He is also capable of punching through walls, though this has never been seen yet.

Super speed
Though not as fast as Sonic, Whirlwind can travel a fair distance in a short amount of time.

Long-Range
Whirlwind uses three long-range weapons, all of which are connected to Wrath, thus making it fire bullets that resemble his Chaos Bolt. These weapons are:
 * StormRage - A revolver modeled after the Colt Anaconda.
 * TyphoonFury - A semi-auto shotgun modeled after a Mossberg 930.
 * LightningBurst - A sniper rifle modeled after a Barret XM109.

Melee
Whirlwind doesn't wield close range weapons of his own, other than his bare hands, Chaos Pulse and Chaos Blade. Instead he uses his Makeshift ability to make the following weapons:
 * Sword
 * Axe
 * Mace (His mainly used Makeshift weapon)
 * Spear

Other
He can also use Wrath's mark, hidden under his right glove, to give his Makeshift weapons, kickboxing, and even his own Aerokinesis (Chaos Storm) a boost of power.

Aerokinesis
Whirlwind has can use the kinetic ability known as Aerokinesis. Although, due to the fact he can use Chaos Powers, he rarely even uses these moves save Whirlwind Slash and Whirlwind Barrier.
 * Whirlwind Slash - Whirlwind gathers up his kinetic energy and hurls it at enemies at the form of a blade.
 * Whirlwind Barrier - Whirlwind charges up and creates a huge whirlwind to repel incoming attacks.
 * Tornado Storm - Whirlwind throws many small tornadoes at enemies.
 * Hurricane Blast - Whirlwind gathers every ounce of strength and kinetic energy he has and releases it at the form of a bomb.
 * Typhoon Spear - Whirlwind charges his energy to his arm to the point of a small amount of lightning flowing within the formed spear. Whirlwind then thrusts it at his enemy, dealing massive damage.

Chaos Powers
​Since Wrath is inhabiting Whirlwind's body, he is enabled the use of Chaos Control along with these:
 * Chaos Bolt - Whirlwind's primary means of ranged attack via Chaos Energy.
 * Chaos Pulse - Whirlwind gathers some Chaos Energy to his fist and unleashes it directly to his enemies through a punch.
 * Chaos Volley - Whirlwind summons 3-5 arrows of Chaos Energy and launches it at his foes.
 * Chaos Bind - Whirlwind traps up to two foes in a ring of Chaos Energy which binds them. Recently, Whirlwind has improved the use of this move to create larger binds.
 * Chaos Regeneration - Whirlwind restricted this ability to only heal those who were injured by Chaos Energy.
 * Chaos Blade - Whirlwind's favorite attack. He charges his Chaos Energy into a sword and slashes it relentlessly at a foe.
 * Chaos Beam - One of Whirlwind's strongest and most rarely-used attacks. He charges up his Chaos Energy into the form of an orb then blasts it staright at his enemies. Doing this can tire out Whirlwind as it takes a certain amount of time to charge.
 * Chaos Storm - Another one of Whirlwind's strongest attacks. He rarely uses this, even more so than Chaos Beam, due to the fact that it can kill him if overused. Whirlwind charges all his Chaos Energy and infuses it with his own Aerokinetic energy to create a strong flurry of Chaos Energy that it will obliterate anyone in range that has no strong source of protection, even Chaos-spawn.

Chaos Whirlwind
Essentially Whirlwind’s dark form. Whirlwind can tap into Wrath’s reserve power and assume this form. His strength and speed increase drastically. However, if he possesses a Chaos Emerald, his power increases even further. The downside is that using this form for an extensive amount of time can leave him weak and vulnerable when he reverts back to normal. When in this form, Whirlwind can use Chaos Hurricane.

Aura sense
Whirlwind has the ability to sense the aura of his opponents, which is quite useful in dark areas or at night, especially against natural predators who use their sense of smell to search for their prey. Although, this is quite limited, as he cannot sense supernatural beings that don't have a connection with the Chaos Emeralds, especially assassins with supernatural abilities, whom he hates more than regular assassins.

Rejuvenation
He can also rejuvenate overtime whenever he is injured, but is also limited.

Makeshift
Due to the fact that Whirlwind is limited to genuine long-range weaponry, he can create new weapons using his Makeshift ability.

Wrath's Power
When Wrath either has his full power inflicted onto Whirlwind or takes over, normally the latter, his strength and speed are greatly increased by 500.

Weaknesses

 * Whirlwind's body can be overtaken by Wrath when his anger builds up enough.
 * Whirlwind is rather hesitant to finishing someone off for good when not influenced by Wrath, which gives enough time for the captive enemy to escape.
 * Whirlwind is left vulnerable after using Chaos Beam.
 * Whirlwind normally falls unconscious after using Chaos Storm.
 * Whirlwind's aura sense and rejuvenation are limited.
 * Usually when enraged, Whirlwind thinks irrationally and attacks his foe head on, which can leave him wide open for foes that use tactics.
