Kyle is a 24 year old hedgehog who lives in a small, rural village on Angel Island. Kyle lives with his mother and his twin sister, Keela . He is a very well behaved gentleman who is very mindful of his duties. Kyle wields the legendary Gemblade, a magical sword that draws power from 6 small gems, which fit into the handle of the blade. Each gem has its own element: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Water, and Earth. With these gems inside of the sword, the blade glows a golden color, brimming with power. With the sword in his hands, Kyle is the guardian of his village, and strives to protect those around him with his life. The village of Tillia does not use modern technology. Instead, they are "one with nature". This leads to Kyle often being facinated with modern technology. Throughout his travels, he has seen a lot of it, and he is a bit used to seeing it, but he still finds it very intriguing.

Looks

Kyle's fur and hair are cyan, as well as his eyes. His hair is short, slick, and stops just above his shoulders in length. It somewhat conceals his very short, but sharp quills. Kyle mainly wears blue gloves and light blue shoes that have a red patch on the top and a red ring around the ankle and black soles, as well as brown pants, a gray shirt with a thick white collar and cyan sleeves with a white stripe on it that connects to a white ring at the end of the sleeve, and a brown vest that his mother made for him. He carries his sword on his back, along with a blue backpack with red lining. He only carries the backpack with him if he is journeying somewhere or if he needs to carry something somewhere.

Personality

Kyle in the plains

Kyle is a very noble and honorable person. He has a great sense of justice and a strong heart. He believes everyone should have a second chance sometime. Kyle cannot stand to see anyone around him being hurt for an injust reason. He will fight for the sake of everyone around him.

He is dutybound to protect his people, but feels that he should look out for everyone around him. If trouble brews somewhere, he won't sit idly by while it happens.

Aside from his bold side, Kyle is very well mannered and kind towards others. He speaks very formally, and chooses his words carefully. He tends to use old and/or big words as well. He can also be a bit of a sweet talker, and tends to be flattering towards those he is especially fond of. At times, He can be very dramatic. Unintentionally, though. He doesn't really notice.

Strengths and Powers

Kyle is a skilled swordsman, and is used to fighting with both hands. He has many self taught skills, but most of them require the power of the

Gemblade to do. He is quite agile when it comes to swinging his sword around, but he lacks a bit in speed when it comes to running. Kyle's physical strength is surprisingly high, as he would strike a "Power Type" position if anything. Of course, he is no match for people who are capable of holding up trees or something of the sort. His main strengths in battle are with his sword, The Gemblade. The Gemblade is Kyle's main weapon. With it, Kyle can perform many skills normal swordsman wouldn't even be able to begin doing. The sword draws power from the 6 gems inside. Each have a different element and color to go with it. Fire = Red, Ice = Cyan, Lightning = Yellow, Water = Deep blue, Wind = White, Earth = Green. Each gem is sphere shaped, and exactly the same size-Just the right size to it inside the handle of the sword, which has 6 slots for the gems to fit into. The gems are magical, but it is extremely difficult to harness their power. The Gemblade manages to, and with the gems inside, it allows the user to cast magic spells, as stated by the villagers of Tillia. It is true in a sense, for the wielder has to chant the magic words in order for the spell to work. The first step to casting a spell is to get the gem to respond to the user's call. This is generally done by holding the sword close to you, its tip facing the sky, and saying aloud "Gem of (insert element here), Lend me thy power...". If done properly, the gem of the corrosponding element will glow in response. It's possible to call to more than one gem. However, when casting a spell that requires all the gems, the call is changed; "O sacred Gems of the Gemblade, Lend me thy power..." The magic words to cast the spell follow up afterwards, and vary from each spell. It is possible to get the gems to respond without the blade having to face the sky, but it will only give it's power to the blade itself, allowing an elemental strike. It is still possible to have more than one element in the blade for the attack. Thus is how Kyle pulls off most of his self taught moves. His most powerful attack, in which he goes all out and uses

all of the skills he has learned (including quick and weak elemental spells), and then casts a barrage of powerful spells all at once in a disasterous explosion on a single enemy, is called Hyper Blade. It is capable of deteriorating barriers, and is also rather deadly.

With the 7 Chaos Emeralds, Kyle can perform a super transformation. His color, however, does not change. His quills grow longer and he has a cyan glow around him. In this form, his physical power increases greatly and he gains the ability to fly. The name of the form is "Super Kyle", as one may expect.

Kyle also has another superform, with the Gemblade. It is a fact that anyone can gain this super form with the sword, as long as they know how to do it. The process is done in this way exactly: The wielder holds the sword high above their head with both hands and brings it down with such force which drives the sword into the ground around halfway. They then whisper the magic words "O sacred Gems of the Gemblade, Grant me the power to purge this world of the evil that dwell within, to shine the light upon the darkness and spread peace and prosperity around the world! O Gems of the Gemblade, Grant Me Thy Power!" In response, the entire sword glows, and floats out of the ground. The wielder lets go and floats up with it. Once the user and the sword are at the same height, approximately 5 feet off the ground, all the gems separate from the sword. They all began to glow brightly, one by one, and then shoot back into the sword. The user then grabs the sword and completes the transformation in a brilliant flash of light. At the end of the transformation, the results are a constant flash of different colors on the user's fur. The colors are the same as the Gems. In this form, Kyle has the ability to float for short periods of time and jump higher than normal. The spells he can cast with the Gemblade increase in strength and intensity. The name of the form is "Gem Kyle", taking after the gems of the Gemblade.

Kyle has one last super form, and it is his most powerful one. It is a combination of the previous two super forms. The process starts out like Gem Kyle, and as soon as it finishes, Kyle draws power from the Chaos Emeralds to transform yet again. The form takes to a new look. Kyle's quills all change color each accordingly to the colors of the gems. The rest of his fur stays cyan. In this form, Both strengths from the previous two forms stay and are enhanced a step further than they would originally. The form's name is Super Gem Kyle.

To the side is a (somewhat outdated) video showing all of Kyle's skills. From general sword techniques to casting spells with Magic Sword abilities. However, not all of the magic sword abilities show here. These are just the general basics. This video was recorded from the fangame Splice The Hedgehog. His stronger magic sword abilities had been cut out to balance him out a little more reasonably. Kyle's sword skills are self taught, and he may develop a new one at any given time. However, with the video already produced, it is not likely for the time being.

General Info

Kyle lives in his small 'medieval type' village on Angel Island, Tillia. Since his father passed away a few years ago, he is now the appointed guardian of the village. With the Gemblade at his grasp, he tries his best to protect his home. Usually though when a threat comes to his home, its a threat to the entire island. Despite that fact, Kyle takes the job to look after the village, even at an early age for the title of "Guardian". The Gemblade has thumb|165px|right|Theme of Kyle Tyrisbeen passed down in the Tyris family for four generations. The Gemblade is the symbol of the Guardian of Tillia. Kyle is the 4th Kyle in the family. All his forefathers were named Kyle, up to the first one. There is a story behind it. A legend. Kyle's grandmother used to tell it to him when he was a child. He doesn't usually see his friends much since he lives far from most of them. In his free time, he likes to spend time with his family, work on repairs to the house, take walks during the morning and the evening and watch the sunset/sunrise. He loves peace, and he loves nature. He is sometimes found tending to the garden at the side of his house, before the time his mother usually goes out to check on it. Kyle usually finds the time to hone his skills with his sword, the Gemblade. Thus is when he develops his self taught skills.

Kyle came out victorious as the champion of the Blitz Pit's 2010 World Tournament.

Kyle is currently in a relationship with Marina The Echidna, character made by Alestar13. (not a member on Sonic Fanon.)

Kyle's theme song is a remix of Terra from Final Fantasy 6. He has 2 separate versions of it. The most well known version is in the video. "The True Guardian". Credit to vgmusic.com for the midi, and DJ Daz/Supersonicremix for the remix.

Items Currently In Possession

The Gemblade (with all 6 gems): Kyle's main weapon, and the family heirloom passed down throughout his family. Also a symbol of the guardian of Tillia. With this sword, he is able to cast magic based on the elemental gems inside. Each gem is inlaid into the handle in pairs of three: Three gems on one side, (Fire, Ice, and Lightning,) and three on the other, (Wind, Water, and Earth,) both aligned in an upside-down V shape. (though this is mostly ignored in the sprites of it)

Training Sword: Kyle's very first sword. Before he took the Gemblade into his possession, he used this. After he had learned the basic's of using a sword, he was given his own for training. Lightweight and durable, but not very strong. But it was perfect for beginners such as himself at the time. He now keeps it around for backup, in case something should happen to the Gemblade.

Bottle: He generally brings one with him whenever he's going somewhere, except it's usually full of water. It's almost always empty when he comes back home, though.

Trophy of Champions: After the Blitz Pit's 2010 World Tournament, he was awarded with this. He keeps it in his bedroom, along with his few other prized possessions. (He had to return the Champion's Belt to the new champ then next year, however.)

Back Story

((UNDER CONSTRUCTION))

History - Author's Notes

Kyle started out as a cyan Sonic recolor. This was actually my first step in good sprite editing, believe it or not. Especially because he was to appear in an RPG fangame of mine, (which got cancelled but later I started Splice The Hedgehog which is still in the making) Kyle was the first character in the game, and the first out of my Sonic fancharacters, to ever wield a sword. It was indeed the Gemblade, but the sword looked like a cutlass, and the handle wasn't big enough for the gems to fit on. To make matters worse, Kyle was out of character. He was supposed to have the same personality he does now, but somehow I went completely out of character with him. He wasn't the only victim to this, as I had made a terrible mistake with another character. Later, I remade the Gemblade, but somehow I screwed up the quality of it, so even then it looked pretty crappy. It wasn't until a few months after the beginning productions of Splice The Hedgehog where he got his big remake. His entire character changed dramatically. He was back to his originally planned personality, his looks were tinkered with and he got a very fitting outfit, the Gemblade was remade, and his entire style of fighting had changed, complete with a set of custom edited sprites and stances. Kyle is now even better than originally planned. He shouldn't have any more problems from now on.

Also, In his story, he originally had a horse friend, who for some reason looked like a regular horse. That idea was soon scrapped, but he made a shocking appearance in the RP "Dimensional Disaster" as the main villain...

Appearances

Roleplays

Look Here for the Roleplay Series.

Kyle The Wandering Hedgehog: Basically set in the time period of his story. With amnesia and few leads as to who he is, Kyle wandered the lands in search of clues and purpose. He soon met with his current love interest, Marina The Echidna. They spent much time together, getting to know eachother, and becoming friends. They quickly began to fall for eachother.

The End of the World?: Kyle was the main character of the story. While spending some time with Smash, his sister, and his girlfriend, He soon got the news that strange creatures were invading. He went out to investigate and confronted the creatures. After several frightening events, Kyle and his friends discovered a box inside of a temple. After taking it out and opening it, he was shocked to find a girl inside. At that instant, more of the creatures attacked, and Kyle was forced to fight them off while trying to protect the girl who was still unconscious. The girl then woke up, and saw him and his friends fighting, and-to their surprise-transformed into a sword for Kyle to use. Kyle was shocked at first, but then used the sword to fight them off. After the battle, the team left to find a safe place to regroup. The girl transformed back into her original form and told him her name. She was Amerie, but her history was still a mystery to them. She agreed to help them out. Afterwards, Kyle saught to find the source of the creatures and put an end to them once and for all.

Relationships with Other Characters

Family Members

Kyle is very close to his family. He does his best to keep in touch with his grandparents and other relatives, and tries to take care of his mother and sister at home. He gets along very well with his family, and rarely has any conflict going on between him and a relative.

Kyle and Keela, by Kira

Keela Tyris The Hedgehog

Keela is Kyle's energetic twin sister. With her hyper and outgoing personality, She's always raring to go off on some sort of adventure, even when nothing's happening. Kyle loves her enthusiasm, but he is rather concerned about her behaviour, as she acts nothing like a graceful young lady. Although she doesn't mind dressing like one at times. Nevertheless, Kyle loves her as his sister, and takes care of her the best he can.

Kyla Tyris The Hedgehog

(Scheduled for a name change) Kyle's mother is the perfect example of a graceful woman. She was a big influence on Kyle, which is why he is always careful of his words and gentle towards his friends and family. Kyle loves his mother very much, past the point where someone may call him a "Mama's Boy". Kyle's mother is actually still young.

Friends

Kyle has made many friends outside of his village. He doesn't see them very often, though, as they don't come to Angel Island very often.

(Official Characters)

Sonic The Hedgehog

Being the famous hero that he is, Kyle holds Sonic in high regards, though does not know him well on a personal level. They have, however, traveled together on a mutual quest.

Miles "Tails" Prower

Like Sonic, he has journeyed with him once before. He is generally fascinated by technology, and showed great interest in Tails' knowledge in mechanics.

Knuckles The Echidna

Kyle and Knuckles live somewhat close by, and have a few things in common. They are both guardians. Although Knuckles takes up the task of guarding the entire island as well as the Master Emerald. Kyle respects him for that, and sees him as an ally as they both want their homes to be safe.

(FC's by same creator)

Smash The Echidna

Smash was one of Kyle's first friends outside of the village, and they often keep in touch by letters. They get along very well, and also see each other as worthy opponents after their famous battle in the Blitz Pit World Tournament. Though unfortunately, they often only usually meet up when they have big problems that need solving, due to the distance they live.

Pearl The Echidna

Kyle and Pearl are fairly close friends. Pearl is the one friend outside the village who comes to see him the most. He gets most of his news on the latest happenings in the city from either her or Gizmo, who also occasionally visits.

Violet The Hedgehog

Kyle and Violet are okay friends. They don't have anything special in common, but Kyle still treats her like a good friend.

Splice The Hedgehog

Splice and Kyle get along rather well, but little do they know that their past is intertwined. Their good blood with eachother may have something to do with the fact that both of their fathers were friends.

Thunder The Hedgehog

Another one of Kyle's earliest friends outside of Tillia. Kyle knows Thunder rather well, and has accompanied him on his voyages across the sea often in the past. Thunder is also responsible for helping him return to Angel Island after he recovered from his amnesia. They are like old friends.

Lightning The Hedgehog

Kyle and Lightning get along okay. Lightning keeps his spirits up with hearty jokes and general goofiness.

Electric The Hedgehog

Electric is another good friend of his. They like to share stories with eachother about their past journies. Of course, he likes to do the same with Thunder, as he is the leader of the four brothers.

Zap The Hedgehog

Kyle is one of the few people Zap will open up to. Once he got to know him, Zap was actually rather talkative. The two are good friends.

Crystal The Fox

Kyle has had to travel with Crystal in the past, but he doesn't know her too well.

Gizmo The Cat

Kyle respects Gizmo for his intelligence. He is often very facinated and awestruck by his inventions, and always is anxious to see what new thing he's created. Gizmo is also one of the few people who visit him from Greenflower City; with his Magic Wings and/or his Jet Board, flying to Angel Island is a breeze.
The two get along very well.

(Other Fancharacters)

Speedy The Hedgehog

Speedy was Kyle's first friend outside of the village. The two ventured together for a while when Kyle was trying to recover his memory after he had gotten amnesia. They get along very well.

Luna The Hedgehog

As Smash's wife, Kyle shows her his respect and is very careful to mind his manners around her.

Lily The Hedgehog

Lily is a strange one indeed. Kyle often sees her when he is with the rest of his friends. He refrains himself from asking her why she is as insane as she is.

Flame "Ignition" The Hedgehog

A little more of an aquaintance than an actual friend. The two of them worked together on a few occasions to get themselves and others out of a few jams.

Hyper The Hedgehog

Kyle has worked with him in the past, but doesn't know much about him.

Marina The Echidna

The first and only person to win Kyle's heart. Kyle loves Marina with all of his heart, and does everything in his power to keep her safe and happy. He has a tendancy to flatter her, and sometimes finds himself doing things he wouldn't normally do around her, which apparently only makes her love him more. They are a happy couple.

Rock The Unicorn

Kyle thinks of him as a friend and a comrade. He noticed something strange about the way he acts around him when Marina is with him. He appeared to be frustrated and stressed, which worries Kyle. Little does he know that Rock is actually jealous of his relationship with Marina.

Amerie

She resembles a Hedgehog but she can transform into a powerful sword. It is unknown exactly what she is, but she has feelings and personality. She has a soul, yet she is a sword. During the events of the RP, "The End of the World?", Amerie appeared to be falling for Kyle. Kyle thinks of her as a good friend, and is grateful to her for saving his life by transforming into the weapon that could destroy the beasts. He promised her a home in his village.

Tab The Cat

Another one of his many friends. Kyle is polite towards her, but is careful not to question why she is so quiet most of the time.

Shade The Dark Chao

Shade is a very spiteful and rude guy, but he's pretty good when it comes down to it. Kyle doesn't think very highly of his "Uncouth behaviour", but he knows he's a good person deep down. He has worked with him before and has seen this.

Enemies

Kyle has few enemies, but they all were ruthless and threatening.

(Official Characters)

Dr. Ivo Eggman Robotnik

A classic villain. Kyle hates Robotnik with a passion. Robotnik was half the reason his father passed away and getting him amnesia. To top things off, Robotnik mind controlled him for two years to do his bidding until Sonic freed him. He does his best to make sure he stays away from his family and his village.

(Characters by the same FC)

Darkyle The Hedgehog

The relationship between Kyle and Darkyle is a mystery to many people. Infact, the only ones who know the truth behind Darkyle are Kyle's family, and Kyle himself. Kyle defeated Darkyle, and he is thought to be dead.

Fun Facts

• Kyle was made on the same day his girlfriend was. An RP happened at the same time, and they got together on either the same day or the next day.
• Kyle can be unintentionally dramatic, as stated above.
• Kyle is easily facinated with technology. Some of his friends call him an "Old Timey" because of this.
• Kyle has an unusual fear of horses, up to the point where he occasionally has nightmares about them.
• Kyle is not good at using a shield, because he fights with both hands on one sword. He has one, but he just hangs it up in his room.
• Kyle has an extra sword that he uses in case something happens to the Gemblade, which it does often. The sword is actually the sword he trained with before he got the Gemblade.
• The stance that Kyle is doing in the first two pictures (and sprite) of this page is a running trend about him. Since the days he had been freshly made to now, he has very often been seen making that stance. It is one of the most noticeable things that hasn't changed about him since he was fixed. It is his official trademark pose. Though it was slightly altered in the first pic to show off the Gemblade.
