Vanguard the Robohog

This is an article about Vanguard the Robohog, a character created by Awkwarddingo on 10/18/2013.



Appearance
Vanguard is, as his name suggests, a robotic hedgehog. His primary color is a sleek silver accompanied with glowing red streaks going through his quills. His eyes are a bright yellow with a lack of pupils. His "gloves" are black with spiked knuckes. His boots are also black with thrusters on the heels.

Personality
He is very static in everything that he does. He follows Dr. Tangent's orders without question. He has shown some signs of mercy, though, such as injuring (as opposed to killing) those who get in the way of his objectives. Some argue there is a soul inside that cold steel. Though it has not made itself known yet.

History
Doctor Tangent created Vanguard before Solomon The Bobcat started his fight against Tangent's armies. His purpose was to find anything that can aid Tangent's cause when supplies were low. He did that and more. Vanguard unknowingly found his way into another doctor's base a hundred miles from the island of his birth and discovered blueprints to a machine that would increase Tangent's armies tenfold: a Roboticizer, a machine that can turn flash and bone into metal and steel. Tangent gave Vanguard upgrades as a reward when he returned. These upgrades turned vanguard from a generic robot soldier into the very first V-series mech, a robot with the shape of a Mobian.

After that, Vanguard's role in Tangent's plans changed from a delivery bot into a war machine, the second in command of the robot armies, whose numbers were blossoming. Vanguard led several small attacks on the Ctiy's human districts. This got the attention of the city's mayor, who sent Solomon to deal with the situation. This was when Vanguard finally found his equal. The two have faced off, with each fight ending with either Vanguard's call home or the completion of Vanguard's objective. These objectives involved fighting Solomon to download his combat techniques to use against him, making Vanguard stronger with each duel.

 * Can shoot pure energy out of his eyes

Skills
