The Title Screen of Splice The Hedgehog
Splice The Hedgehog is the name of the fangame starring the fancharacter: "Splice The Hedgehog". The Game is currently in production. Both users 'Smash The Echidna' and Kapus are working on it at the same time. Many other people have contributed to the project, which made this game possible. The game's engine is the RPGMaker 2003, and runs very similar to Final Fantasy 6. The game also features a synthesis system, a character interactive party switcher, Jumping and Ring collecting, many familiar zones, skit scenes identical to that of the Tales Of series, And even Special stages to collect the 7 Chaos Emeralds as a side quest.
The game, Splice The Hedgehog, is the last episode (Episode 50) of the second season in this Roleplay Series, being the season finale.
There is a planned sequel to the game, starring Smash The Echidna. The game revolves around and is named after the currently ongoing RP: The Mystery of Skull Cross.

Story
thumb|300px|right|The main theme of Splice The Hedgehog One morning, in the peaceful Green Flower City, Splice wakes up a few moments too early to the sound of his phone ringing. Upon answering it he recieves an ominous message. "Agent Nero! Abort Mission, return to base immediately!" Splice was left confused and unsettled. After looking up the phone number, he traces the call back to a shady orphanage. While investigating, the city is attacked by the notorious Dr. Robotnik. As usual, Sonic comes to the rescue and chases him away. Splice decides to join him to fight Robotnik, as he is plotting to conquer the world with another brilliant scheme, and even rebuilt his long lost creation: The Egg Carrier. All the while, Splice tries to take whatever chances he can get to investigate his own situation further, and eventually finds out that his long lost father is somehow connected to it, making the mystery even deeper and even more dangerous than he anticipated.
List of Characters
Splice The Hedgehog : The main protagonist. He fights alongside Sonic to stop Dr. Robotnik's latest scheme, as well as trying to solve the mystery revolving around the Black Rose Orphanage.
Sonic the Hedgehog: The world's fastest hedgehog. He has a long history of battling Dr. Robotnik, and he takes this next challenge with confidence.
Miles "Tails" Prower: Sonic's best buddy and trusty sidekick. He's known for making enhancements to machines or creating something of his own. He has his own workshop.
Knuckles the Echidna: Knuckles is the Guardian of the Master Emerald on Angel Island, and the sole survivor of his ancient clan. He knows Angel Island better than anyone else, and his superior strength lets him break his way into his own routes.
Speedy The Hedgehog: A rather unlikely hero. Speedy is incredibly goofy, and a little weird, but honest and good at heart. He specializes in fire powers.
Smash the Echidna: A veteran fighter at the reknown arena, The Blitz Pit, and generally the leader of the group. He was the one leading the investigation of the groups that are slightly involved with the Orphanage. Smash mainly specializes in martial arts and is a strategic fighter.
Violet the Hedgehog: A resident of Green Flower City, and Speedy's girlfriend. Violet had taken up training with Smash to learn how to defend herself and others.
Crystal the Fox: A young fox with a mysterious crystal ornament strapped around her tail. A very sweet and caring girl, she tries to help anyone in need regardless of her capabilities. She has a chao who is like a sister to her named Krysi, after her own nickname.
Pearl The Echidna: The little sister of Smash The Echidna. She often trains with Smash to keep in shape and to learn how to defend herself and others. Smash see's a lot of potential in her, and in action, she just might have even more than Smash himself does.
Gizmo the Cat: A young inventor who spends most of his time working in his basement on new gadgets. He's created very unique machines and proved to be very useful to his friends.
Kitty the Cat Chao: Kitty is Gizmo's right hand man and one of his best friends. Kitty helps work with Gizmo in his basement and serves as a close assistant. Being very observant, Kitty has learned a great deal of mechanics and even tries his hand at making inventions on his own.
Kyle the Hedgehog: Kyle is the Guardian of Tillia, his home village on Angel Island. He wields the legendary Gemblade, passed down in his family for 4 generations. Kyle is very honorable and noble, and always tries to do the right thing.
Hyper The Hedgehog: A very quiet and rather meek person. Not very social, but he's a good person at heart. He is also concerned about Eggman's conquest.
Shade The Dark Chao: A mean and spiteful chao who's rude to even his own friends. He joins the fight against Eggman to help take him down for good.
Tab the Cat: A rather quiet but loyal companion of the gang. Tab is the one everyone looks up to for the logical ways to go, aside from Smash. She keeps everything going smoothly.
Lily The Hedgehog: A wacky and silly girl living in Green Flower City. A strange one indeed. "No one knows what goes on inside that head of hers." As many people previously stated.
Daz The Hedgehog: At first a deadly enemy, but then a faithful ally. Daz is a tad goofy and very jolly when you get to know him. He joins to help in the battle against Dr. Eggman.
Cymbeline The Hedgehog: A gentle, yet excitable girl from an unexpected origin. A half Hedgehog/Half Angel from the Angel Kingdom. She meets Splice when they both end up getting lost alone in a forest, and team up to find their way out. She wields angelic powers and a necklace which can transform into a weapon: The Evenstar.
Frost: (Optional cameo character.) An alien from a faroff galaxy had made his home in Green Flower City after a long drawn out war, which unintentionally involved the fate of the planet. With the war ended, Frost is currently making preparations to leave back to his home planet. But when the attack on the city occurs, he decides to help his friends out one last time. Especially since it stalled him from leaving.
Areas
A bright and lively city and the home Splice and his friends. Although it's generally a happy place and full of energy, Something bad is always happening to or within the city. It's experienced quite a number of incidents in the past, including attacks from a few villains and was even one of the first places to show signs of the dimensions merging in a disaster some months ago.
A city just north of Green Flower City, Station Square is lively and very busy, and much more industrial than Green Flower City. It's best known for it's large train station.
A rural area with ancient ruins in the jungle. Tails' workshop is on top of a hill near the train station. The heroes find themselves going back there quite often.
Fox Forest
A peaceful forest where children gather to play. Deep into the forest though, could be dangerous...
Zones
Green Flower Zone:
The area just outside of Green Flower City. It's perfect for taking walks, but Eggman's usually lurking around...
Smash and Pearl used to live here.
Techno Hill Zone
Once a beautiful landscape, now a toxic wasteland due to Eggman's slime factory. It was shut down a while ago, but the slime never disappeared. The land has been scarred.
Night Forest Zone
A dangerous forest north of Green Flower City. Kyle is not very fond of this place.
Ruined Stronghold Zone
Actually Castle Eggman, but it's in ruins. What could possibly be left here? Maybe a few forgotten robots...
Angel Island Zone A mysterious island floating high in the sky. Known to be the home of Knuckles and the resting place of the Master Emerald.
Emerald Valley Zone
A dirt road stretching across lush green plains. Right along the way to Emerald Town.
Many more areas await as you delve deeper into the story.

Story And Area Progress
Story Progression: 2% complete. Completed intro and first objective. Will move onto second objective after demo release.
Map creation progress:
World Map: 2% complete. Only the main island is there, and it's not complete yet. Will be continuously added onto as time goes on.
Green Flower City: 90% Complete. The Docks need to be completed, and characters houses, along with a few NPC's houses and adding NPC's to the city. The hint shop, mall, hotel, hospital, and food market all need to be made as well.
GFC Sewers: 8% Complete. It's looking pretty good, but there's still so much more that could be added to it.
Green Flower Zone: Act 1 - 12% Complete/Act 2 - 1% Complete. Still needs a lot of work, but it's looking much more professional now.
Fox Forest: ??% Complete. It's looking beautiful so far, but sadly no more work has been added to it. I've asked Roy to deal with that.
Night Forest Zone: 8% Complete. It still needs a lot more work, though I don't know how I can make it affect the story. Maybe it won't.
Station Square: 0% Complete. It's not nearly done. It was only just started on.
Character Selects: ??% Complete. It won't be fully complete until the end of the game. The character select changes depending on where you are. However, the functions of the Character Select itself aren't even fully complete.
Various elements:
Elemental Rings: 3% Complete. There are many Elemental Rings, and only few of them work and even fewer people are compatable with them at the moment.
Jumping: 91% Complete. It works, but there needs to be sprites of everyone jumping. Therefor, its not quite complete yet.
Running: Disabled. This feature caused many glitches in the gameplay. It is useful for testing, but it's not to be used in the release.
Skits: 70% Complete. They work, but everyone needs Skit animations. Also, there are some things that could be used in the skits to make them more interesting. Also, the Skit Viewer item has been disabled. You now press the number "0" to activate the skits.
Swimming: 85% Complete. It works pretty well, but there needs to be sprites of everyone swimming. Like jumping, it's still not quite finished yet.
Under Water Areas: 85% Complete. It works perfectly. But the sprites for drowning and breathing in air bubbles must be made.
Party Switcher: 80% Complete. It works fine, but not all the characters appear there. It will also be changed to activate with the push of a button rather than an item.
Journal: 7% Complete. A feature that was newly created, but it looks rather impressive. It needs much work before it's ready to be shown off in action.
Character Skill sharing: 0% Complete. Basically, Characters can learn skills from eachother. It hasn't been started on, but it can work.
Alternate Costumes: 1% complete. Only Gizmo has one so far. He doesn't have one in battle though. Not yet atleast.
Time of Day: 99% Complete. There were some glitches with it in the past. The timer will be set to display onscreen for debugging. It will be set to be hidden when the game is complete, ensuring that it is complete.
Character Affection: 100% Complete. It works, but the game isn't up to a point to where it effects anything yet.
Overlimit/Trance/High Tension: 50% Complete. It apparently works, but it needs more work.
- Smash High Tension Transformation: 0% Complete. Basically, "Gather Power" is getting a complete makeover. It can work, but it'll take a long time since normal Smash isn't even finished yet.
Item Creation/Synthesis: 10% Complete. It needs a whole lot more work and effert put into it. However, a list of synthesize-able items has been started, to set things running smoothly. I'm planning on scratching what I already had down and starting fresh, once I get back to it.
Classic Sonic Cliff Death: 0% Complete. A problem occured, and it now will not work. Still working to figure out what the problem is.
In Battle Character Switching: 90% Complete. It works, but it needs to be organized so that it could be used. (Only useable under certain conditions)
Grinding: ???. It has not yet been created. But a test will be conducted soon.
Tutorials: 90% Complete. The first one has been completed and it works just fine. But there are more to come...
Super Jump: 98% Complete. It works, but due to technical difficulties, the screen has to fade out and back in after every use. Currently working to see if there is a way around it.
Climbing: 55% Complete. It works just nicely. It's a bit glitchy at times, but the glitchyness does not affect the gameplay. Still need to finish the sprites for it.
Diagonal Walking: Causes a lot of problems, even more than running. It's been taken out completely.
