Appearance
Coldsteel is a purple hedgehog with heather skin and a cut left ear, and his eyes are red with yellowish sclera and are outlined by black skin. He wears a brown belt, black Jinco jeans that are red underneath and cuffed, black sneakers with red soles, black fingerless gloves, black spiked bracelets, and a few silver rings in his quills. His teeth are sharper than average, and his claws are filed.
Personality
Coldsteel is an extrovert, though he is often brash and impolite. He’s usually playful and hyped up, though he does have a deadly serious side that not many get to see. When he’s not getting in trouble with “preppies and haters” (the police/lawful citizens) he’s chilling with his best friends and making music.
When Coldsteel’s all alone, however, he has dreams that makes him question a lot of things about his world and his past, which would leave him unsure of what’s worth living for, but when he thinks about his friends and fans, he remembers.
Among the demons that visit him in his dreams, Coldsteel has his own to face, including his self-loathing, desires to fit in, and delayed empathy.
History
Waking Up, Blacking Out
Coldsteel was born with a special power, hates his dad and football, and will go on to become the greatest fighter in the Sonic Military, face off against Shadow, and in the end, turn against Sonic himself, and take his life.
At least that's how he remembered it. Coldsteel’s earliest memory since the final battle was that of him floating in a black void into a waterfall, and waking up in an alley nearby a guitar store after the owner poured a bucket of water on him. After trying to figure out where he was, he saw someone playing a rock song outside and decided to try playing a loaned guitar for money, and soon got enough to pay for it.
Rookie Once Again
He would continue wandering the city, making more money as he goes, until he runs into some former members of the Mobian band Sizzling Swatboys that left the band after the war in 2012. They were practicing a new style of rock that was similar to rapcore and thrash metal, and Coldsteel was quickly intrigued. They taught him their skills and introduced him to other rock bands, and he would soon join their new band, Blood Skull 84, which was named after the brigade they fought in.
Powers
He has some kind of photokinesis, and is able to expel light if he concentrates hard enough.
Abilities
He can sense whenever Dark Gaia or an Obscurity is nearby, though he doesn't even know what or who they are yet.
Skills
He can rap, sing, play the electric guitar and bass, and use the katana to fight. He is also good at throwing knives and Mobian martial arts, and though he isn't too good at most aspects of art, he is good at shading.
Weaknesses
Coldsteel is of course mortal, and rarely takes things seriously, which could lead to anyone's downfall. He is sensitive to heat and exhausts quickly under it.
Other
- Coldsteel pretends to be heterosexual in fear of his homophobic environment, and only his friends and the dolls know his true leanings.
- He's written a total of 4 songs for E-Squad by himself, since most of the songs are group projects.
