Gizmo is a 19 year old cat who lives on the southern outskirts of Greenflower City. He is the son of Terrence and Anna the Cats. He lives at home with them, and his cat chao friend, Kitty. Like a lot of kids, Gizmo as a child had multiple dreams of what he wanted to be when he grew up. Unlike most of them, he actually made a move on achieving them, thanks to the encouragement of his father. He thought of being a doctor, a scientist and an inventor. But after watching a documentary on real heroes, Gizmo wanted to be one too.
After years of studying, he managed to learn the basic first aids and a couple of more advanced healing techniques, but mainly he was incredibly focused on science and technology. He started out simple, making small unique gadgets like the Laser Drive, an automatic screwdriver with a built in laser and metal cutter. Working from there, he managed to build bigger and better devices. His basement is his personal workshop. As for his heroic dream, he has assisted in saving the city, world, dimension, and possibly even the whole universe. Yet, only his fellow companions know of his deeds.
Gizmo's relationship status is taken, as he is the boyfriend of Kyla The Cat, Snow Goddess' character. (Snow Goddess is not a member of Sonic Fanon.)
Looks
Gizmo the Cat
Gizmo in his casual outfit
Gizmo is a red cat with a white patch of fur on his stomach, going up to his muzzle. He has very fuzzy fur on the sides of his muzzle which resemble whiskers. He has green eyes, and a long tail. He wears white gloves and gold colored shoes. His outfits may vary, and sometimes he doesn't even wear one, but his most recognizeable one is a white T shirt with blue sleeves, sky blue shorts and shiny green shoes. He sometimes wears goggles on his forehead, especially when he's going to or after he's worked on something.
Personality
Gizmo is a very curious and smart guy, and tends to experiment with a lot of things. He's very hardworking and always seeks out to complete his projects. He tends to be a bit boastful about his inventions, as he takes great pride in his work. Aside from that, He is generally very kind and considerate, and always willing to help someone out. He tries to make things that will be helpful to his friends and family.
Shade the Dark Chao refers to him as the "Geek of the Gang". He doesn't really appreciate that fact.
Strength and Powers
Gizmo doesn't have any special powers at all. He's just a regular boy. His main strength is his knowledge on mechanics and general science, and also the basic first aids. He is also known for being able to jump really high. In battle, his main strengths are his creations. He built a few weapons, such as the Claw Gloves, gloves with retractable claws on the back. (somewhat like Wolverine.) Without them, he's pretty mediocre. Outside of battle, he can be very useful, as not too many other people are as talented as he. His vast list of creations have served him well.
Regardless of Gizmo's fighting abilities, he is capable of using a super transformation with the Power Crystal and the seven Chaos Emeralds. His red fur flashes a light pink color, somewhat similar to that of Super or Hyper Knuckles. His strength, speed, and jumping abilities increase, but that is all he can make out of this form.
General Info
Gizmo is an only child who lives with both of his parents. It is believed that he has other living relatives, but they never had an appearance nor were mentioned before. Gizmo's father is a doctor, part of the reason why Gizmo wanted to be one too. Gizmo believes that he's already started his own career, even though he hasn't even considered selling anything yet. In his basement, he creates things for himself and his family, and friends as well. He always makes a spare to put on display behind glass, while his main equipment is stored neatly in a cabinet. To help him with his experiments, Gizmo is often found using the Yellow Chaos Emerald to power machines and such. Occasionally, he will go out and find another one to experiment with two. Gizmo's buddy,
Gizmo and Kitty, Sonic Riders style.
Kitty The Cat Chao, is his assistant who helps him work. Over the years of working together, Kitty has gained a lot of knowledge on science and mechanics.
When on an adventure, Gizmo used to be fairly timid, but his loyalty to his friends always gave him the strength to move onward. Over the years, he's become very confident in himself. He is a vital asset to the gang, as his knowledge and inventions are needed more often than not. In battle, he mainly used his hand-made weapons. He always wears his Claw Gloves, in case short-ranged combat is required. Before he created them, he'd been practicing fighting with his bare hands and developed a sort of fighting style where he uses his own claws under his gloves. Strangely, the gloves never ripped, yet dealt as much damage as it would if he didn't wear any. His own pair of claw gloves are designed specifically with this in mind.
Items Currently in Possession:
Every single one of his inventions.
Yellow Chaos Emerald (Often): He often is found with this particular emerald when conducting experiments, or to power one of his creations. (Note, This can easily be overrided by the story of any RP.)
Several Elemental Rings: He completely stocked up on every type of Elemental Ring available before the factory closed down. Not only does he use these for experimenting, he also uses some of these to power his Hand Cannon.
Chad's Whistle: A momento left behind by his first chao, Chad. It was originally a farewell gift after the two parted ways, but landed back in Gizmo's possession after he came across Chad's gray coccoon. He keeps it hanging on a wall in his bedroom, in honor of his earliest of friends, though he occassionally wears it around his neck.
List of Creations
The Laser Drive - A small automatic screwdriver which has a flat head on one side and philips head on the other. The reason why it is call the "Laser Drive" is because the philips head side can flip inwards and bring out a small gun which acts like a taser. The same is possible for the Flat head side, which instead of having a taser, it has a hot metal cutting tool inside. Gizmo plans to make a new version of it that can unscrew bolts.
Radar - A small device which is used to detect Chaos Energy all around the globe. It actually cannot detect everything all over the globe like it should, but it still shows a world map and detects energy that are at most on neighboring continents. The stronger the source of energy, the bigger the dot on the radar appears. Gizmo took a handheld console and changed it into the radar, resulting in an unusually styled creation. Interestingly enough, it still plays games if a cartridge is inserted.
Super Chao Modifier - A small machine which resembles a Chao medal. It boosts a chao's power and, if the chao has a secondary color, changes their secondary color to a gradient glowing rainbow design. The device was origonally supposed to grant a chao a super form, but it only got as far as to power them up. The name stayed the same regardless.
- The first one malfunctioned and broke down, so he made an upgraded version. The Super Chao Modifier MK.II is what is currently used. If powered by a Chaos Emerald or something stronger, then it will actually work and transform the chao the way it was supposed to.
Power Copy Machine - A very large machine that is capable of copying powers and storing them inside, and giving the power to an object or person. The main power that it's known to be able to copy is Chaos Energy. It's also known to be able to copy other powers as well, but with other unknown powers, it may be dangerous to give it to a person, and the object must be able to harness the power as well, otherwise it may either break or not do anything at all.
Voted Best Item of Winter 2011! The Magic Wings - Gizmo's most treasured creation. He had to study long and hard about the nervous system to even begin to create this project. And birds as well. Through many hardships and months, he created a device that straps to your back and spreads two large magical looking wings of light from two slots. The wings look to be made from beams of light, yet, they are fully controllable by the user. They connect directly to the user's back, making it as if the wings were always a part of the person. It has a safety lock so that you cannot remove them until they are turned off all the way. There is a timer before it unlocks to finish disconnecting and patching up the spot on the user's back (With the use of an Elemental Ring) where the machine connected to their body. This was Gizmo's most dangerous yet successful creation he ever made.
The Magic Wings won Gizmo first prize in the Sonic version of the Kids Choice Awards on the 4kids.tv forums, and later won him another prize as noted above. Gizmo added an extra feature that allows you to change its shape and color. The default color is light yellow.
In Memories of David The Echidna, he installed his spare into David's old armor while upgrading it, leaving him to go and make a new spare to store away.
Crystal Cutter - A machine that automatically cuts any type of gem-stone into a variety of different shapes. At the time of its first test, Gizmo used a chaos emerald to power it. But it was too much for the machine to hold, and it ended up chopping the crystal that he put in the machine into 12 pieces, and giving it some of its power. The machine over heated and broke down, but Gizmo had just created what is now known as the Power Crystal.
- After its failure, Gizmo scrapped the entire thing and used what was left for spare parts--some of which were vital in the making of the Power Copy Machine.
The Power Crystal - Fused with Chaos Energy, the shards of the Power Crystal brings the wearer to his/her full potential of power. Also, it acts as a key to unlock one’s super form if they have one, but just can’t reach it with just the 7 Chaos Emeralds. (Tails is a good example.) When it’s formed together, the wearer is not only brought to their full potential, but also makes them more energetic. This effect only happens when the crystal is fully restored and worn, rather than two or more pieces put together without it being completely put back together. When its fully formed, it can be taken apart again.
Little Claws - A weapon Gizmo made specially for chao. Small mittons with sharp blades attatched to the top. Specifically, he made it for his friend, Kitty The Cat Chao.
Claw Gloves - At the same time as the Little Claws, Gizmo made himself a similar weapon. The Claw Gloves have longer, sharper blades which are retractable. Over the years, he's created several different variations of the Claw Gloves; some are different sizes and made of different material, and some even use Elemental Rings.
Power Glove - Not exactly an invention, but a glove specially modified to fit one of the shards of the Power Crystal inside. It doesn't change the way the Power Crystal works, or add anything onto it. Its just a simple way to equip it. The glove is gray, unlike Gizmo's other gloves.
Ultra Smasher Claws - Smash's ultimate weapon, made by none other than Gizmo himself. The gloves are green with two large, red, curved spikes coming out of the knuckles. The process of creating the pair of gloves was long. By buying the best quality brand of fighting gloves, built with spikes on the knuckles, Gizmo fused the gloves with a Star Stone, A small golden star shaped stone that has the power to enhance the ability of any weapon. The gloves were powered up, but then after using the Power Copy Machine to give it the power of two chaos emeralds, the gloves color changed as its power was greatly enhanced. Gizmo gave them it's name after he gave them to Smash.
Jet Board - Gizmo took a surfboard, repainted it, and gave it a jet engine, and called it the Jet Board. It took much more than that to get it to work properly without literally killing himself. After completion, the Jet Board works similar to Extreme Gear in terms of hovering above the ground when activated. The board runs on corn oil.
Gizmo charging up the Hand Cannon
Hand Cannon - One of his later inventions. The Hand Cannon is a large gun, in which the back has a space to insert one's hand to wield and activate it. On the sides are two compartments, where the power sources are stored. Depending on the power source, the cannon will fire different types of shots. For example, If a battery or an electrical power source is inserted, it will shoot out bolts of electricity. A chaos emerald will allow it to shoot out pure chaos energy in a harmful blast. The two compartments allow it to shoot two different kinds of weapons. It can also charge itself to fire more powerful shots. At full power with two chaos emeralds, it is capable of shooting a large and powerful blast, strong enough to push the user back. Gizmo once inserted Kitty inside of the cannon and shot him out to attack an enemy, (somewhat like the Sonic Driver from the final season of Sonic X.)
It's rather heavy, but after wielding it for several years, Gizmo has gotten used to it's weight. Because of it's size and mass, it is rather effective as a melee weapon.
Remote Controlled Bow&Arrows - Another prize winning creation. He still hasn't come up with a name for it. But it's obvious now that he doesn't even care anymore. A friend suggested "Jet Arrows", but that would only apply to half the invention. The bow looks like a regular wooden bow, with metallic parts patched over it. The arrows that come with them are completely metal. The bow was designed to shoot the arrows which then activate a jet on the back, increasing its momentum. There are buttons on the bow's handle, which allow the shooter to remotely control the arrows to go wherever they want. The jet on the back helps keep it airborne. Each arrows have a different frequency, which activates the bow's control over it as it gets shot through an invisible sensor on the bow at a certain force or higher. Thus allows the bow to control one at a time without having any errors. Gizmo created this with the help of Kitty in the RP, Camp Crystal, for a contest. He won first prize, a gold trophy.
Chaff Gun - A small dart gun that shoots electrified needles that short circuit any electronic equipment when pierced through it, completely disabling it for as long as the needle is in there-if it didn't destroy it beyond repair that is. Most small units wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Force Phaser - Created with the help of Tails during the events of Splice The Hedgehog, this machine is capable of deactivating almost any type of force field. However, if it fails, it malfunctions it's own self. So far, there haven't been any failures yet so Gizmo has yet to encounter this problem.
Voted Best Item for Winter 2014! Grapple Gun - Inspired by various cartoons from his childhood, He went to work on one of his favorite commonly used invention on TV shows. This invention went through several differerent models and versions before it's final release. At first it was a giant bazooka with a grappling hook sticking out the front. It was far too bulky, and too heavy for him to lift high enough to aim properly, let alone shoot.
Kitty then suggested a smaller, more compact gun. The next model looked to be a large pistol with the grappling hook still sticking out. It seemed to work at first, but the grappling hook's mass compared to the pistol itself made it too complicated to be practical, as it interfered with the aiming.
The next model had a smaller grappling hook, along with a laser marked viewpoint for better aiming. It was better, but the grappling hook sticking out of the front proved to be a hinderance for portable storage. Gizmo then modified the grappling hook to fold and fit inside of the gun. It broke. At first it got stuck inside, then when it finally shot out, it broke against what it was supposed to hook onto.
Finally, Gizmo came up with the last model which worked better than he originally imagined it. He took the spare Hand Cannon that he had up for display and modified it into the Grapple Gun. The grappling hook itself still folded, but it was about as big as the original size, and had an automatic lock function so that it would be more secure when unfolded. Gizmo also added the feature of it retracting by itself for both convenience in putting it away and to pull himself towards the target he shot. An alternative would be to pull whatever he shot towards him. But he found that dangerous as it could get stuck inside of the gun. So he added another feature where it folded in by the push of a button, rather than being automatic reacting to it being close to the inside.
The final touches to the grapple gun were painting speed arrows on the sides of the gun. The compartments that were used as power sources now hold large, rechargable batteries. He intends to keep it that way, although it can still use other power sources.
Airship - Gizmo decided to put his skills to the ultimate test. Is he capable of building an aircraft? He drew the blueprints for it, but where to start? That is a different story. It is unknown if Gizmo will ever finish this project.
- After the events of Splice The Hedgehog, he does end up commanding an airship of his own. He keeps it in the cave at the Cat Chao Garden. The ship will most likely be upgraded to be able to travel through space--it probably would have happened in The Mystery of Skull Cross, but the RP never reached far enough to confirm it. Thus, it ended up getting the necessary upgrades in Moonlight Visitor.
Guard Gauntlets: A lock-on for Smash's gloves. They can be used on any gloves, or even by themselves and lock onto one's bare hands. Made of tough and thick steel, they are meant to guard the back of one's hands down to just below their wrists. He created it with battling bladed weapon users in mind.
He made a new model specially for his best friend, Mike. Instead of steel, it's made of diamond. Smash was slightly envious.
Auto-Lure: A strange device in the form of a bamboo and metallic fishing rod. It's equipped with a remote control lure with a hidden camera, so the fisher can scan the area for fish and ultimately have a better chance at catching them. It was made as a birthday present for Electric The Hedgehog, who enjoys fishing.
Back Story
Gizmo originally lived in Emerald Town. At the age of 8, He was best friends with Micheal The Cat (also known as Mike, or Mikey) and Lina The Cat, two siblings who went to the same school as he did. They were playmates and great pals. At the same age, he also adopted and raised a chao, and named him Chad. Chad was a normal looking chao with red highlights instead of yellow (as a child, and green as an adult.) One day, Gizmo took his chao with him to school to show everybody. At recess, Chad had gone missing. After investigating, it wasn't long before Gizmo had learned that one of the students saw someone capture a chao in a net and leave the school. Gizmo, Mike and Lina found the opportunity to sneak out of the school and follow the kidnapper. After their pursuit, they were lead to a very shady building, in which the kidnapper entered through the back door in an alleyway. They followed him inside and spied on him. They learned that the man was a "chao hunter", one who hunts chao for various reasons. He was about to sell the chao to a laboratory for test experiments. The three kids managed to sneak close enough to snag the chao back before it was too late, and escaped the building. The man had chased them, but after splitting up, the man eventually lost them and gave up. They had missed the rest of the school day, but were sort of excused when they explained what had happened. They were still scolded.
After those events, Gizmo started to feel sorry for the chao about keeping him as a pet, and let him loose into a forest. He gave the chao a brown whistle as a farewell gift. They gave their farewells and split up, forever. Years later, Gizmo's family began packing up, preparing to move down to Greenflower City. He was broken up about leaving his friends behind, knowing that he probably wouldn't see them for a long time. The day before he moved out, Gizmo returned to the forest he left Chad in, wanting to see him one last time before he left town. He unfortunately arrived just in time to see a gray chao coccoon fading away. When it was gone, all that was left of the dying chao was a brown whistle, confirming his fears; Chad was dead.
After seeing Chad's death, Gizmo was heart broken. He felt as if he left his whole life behind in Emerald Town as he moved away, but soon grew fond of Greenflower City. As soon as he made it to the city, he had made new friends. And soon he decided to move on and turn his dreams of being an inventor, scientist, and doctor into reality. He didn't know how he was going to do it, but he tried. He studied hard, and his father cheered him on and helped him study being a doctor.
On the same day he arrived, his family visited the beach. Not long before they left back home, Gizmo found a chao, unconscious on the shore. Looking closely, it wasn't an ordinary chao. It had cat ears and claws. Gizmo took it under his wing and nursed it back to health. When the chao was healthy again, he spoke in a mixed language of both chao and cat. The chao's name was Kitty The Cat Chao, and he was one of the only survivors of an attack on his island. Many chao hunters, who hunted chao for game, invaded the island and killed many of the chao on the island. Gizmo shuddered at the sound of Chao Hunters, and his hatred for them grew. Since then, he vowed to protect Kitty, and any chao friend of his from Chao Hunters of any kind.
Later, after a journey to find the remaining Cat Chao (Kitty, Shade The Dark Chao, Krysi the Chao and another chao companion were the only ones who went) It was revealed that Kitty was the prince of all the cat chao, Heir to the throne of Cat Chao Island. They were chased off the island, and stopped on a nearby island with a huge forest. The chao hunters had followed them, and ambushed them again. Few cat chao made it off that island. The cat chao were shot with tranquilizer darts and captured to be sold to laboratories. King Katler, Kitty's father, was one of the ones who had been captured. Some died from overdose of tranquilizers. One of the chao killed was Kitty's mother, by a hunter who thought he could make more money off of her by killing her instead of selling her to a lab. Kitty lead his chao friends on a search to find him. They eventually found the laboratory and freed Katler, who was basically used as a labrat. Kitty was overjoyed to have his father back. When they finally got back to Gizmo's house, they told him the whole story. Gizmo was shocked. After thinking carefully about it, Gizmo eventually freed Kitty, telling him that he could not keep him as his pet. Yet, Kitty decided on his own will to stay with Gizmo. Since then, the two had stayed together as best friends.
King Katler went on a journey to gather the remaining cat chao. Instead of going back to his island, he formed a new chao garden in Greenflower Zone. The only entrance was through a cave behind a waterfall. Katler became known as the Chao Elder of the Cat Chao Garden. Gizmo felt honered to be the best friend of a prince, who's father was great enough to be able to form his own garden after the fall of his kingdom. The Cat Chao Garden does not discriminate against any other types of chao, chao of all kinds are free to live in it. The garden is bigger than most, allowing more chao than usual to be able to live in it. Gizmo helped set it up sometime after he learned of the new garden, and even helped build small shelters for the chao to sleep, a platform for garden announcements and contests, or even chao karate. He also built a wooden tower to be the garden's lookout, as well as Katler's house (and office). Gizmo also bought the seeds to plant for trees and berry bushes, and bought a TV and radio for entertainment. It wasn't just Gizmo who contributed to the garden, Many other chao who had come to live in the garden had helped set it up.
History (Authors notes)
Gizmo's personality and looks never did change over the years. He stayed pretty much the same. But when trying to sprite him, all I could do was use a sprite of a real cat, which put him down in quality and general likeability. It took a long time before I came up with the idea of using sprites from two different Sonic Characters to make him what he is now. With Blaze's head and Tails' body, and some severe editing, he managed to look like a normal male cat.
Gizmo was probably the best and most original and tolerant character I had back when I first made him, for he was one of my earliest characters. He didn't get enough shine, though, and was overshadowed by the worse characters. But when he did get his chances to show up and be useful, another fancharacter came along, possesing the same traits and abilities as Gizmo, only 20 times more efficient. To put it bluntly, he was a god-modding version of Gizmo. Wave The Cat had stolen Gizmo's roles, and made him look obsolete. That did not help with his lack of purpose. Eventually, Gizmo proved to be the better in every other way and even pulled off a heroic deed, and Wave slowly disappeared from the following RP's until he was trashed. Gizmo continued doing what he did best and gained a little more popularity, especially now that nobody is competing with him.
Tails does not count, for the two have worked together to fix and create things on some occasions.

Gizmo even made her a new and improved motorbike for her while she was resting from the crash. The two became fast friends after that. It wasn't long before Kyla fell for him, and Gizmo accepted her as his girlfriend. Gizmo is very shy around her, especially when it has something to do with expressing his feelings.
Lily The Hedgehog
Lily is a strange one indeed. As a part of the gang, Gizmo hangs out with her every now and then. She almost never fails to weird him out. Gizmo constantly wonders if its even possible to have a remotely sane conversation with her. He feels embarrassed just by looking at her hat, which she calls "Steven". Its a black top hat with a long, fat tongue sticking out.
Hyper The Hedgehog
Gizmo doesn't know him all THAT well, but he's journeyed with him before.
Star The Porcupine
Gizmo mainly knows her through Smash, as they are good friends. But Gizmo likes to think of her as a good friend as well.
Tab The Cat
Another member of the gang. Gizmo thinks of her as a good friend, and naturally respects her for being a cat as well, but he can't help but feel like Tab doesn't look at him the same.
Lucy The Cat
A very absent minded girl who is very easy to impress. The two share a few things in common, as they both are skilled in mechanics. Although, Lucy lacks a little in the common sense department, she still manages to make some useful things. Gizmo likes her as a good friend, but is occasionally irritated by her tendency to wander off both physically and mentally.
Shade The Dark Chao
Shade is a very spiteful and rude guy, but he's pretty good when it comes down to it. Gizmo mainly tolerates him because he's best friends with Kitty. Aside from that, he see's Shade as a critic when it comes to creations, and always does his best so that he won't have to hear Shade's smart remarks.
Enemies
Gizmo has few enemies, but they all were ruthless and threatening. Dark Kirby and Nightmare would both be listed here, but at current times they both have been defeated.
