Revision as of 11:27, 10 December 2015
The author of Statyx the Hedgehog/Powers & Abilities considers this page to be unfinished. As such, some sections may change.
Abilities & Powers
Physical Abilities
As an artificially created Hedgehog following the schematics of Shadow's own biological makeup, Statyx's body has strength and durability well beyond that of natural-born hedgehogs. Likewise he is immune to disease and does not age, rendering him immortal barring outside intervention. Despite these similarities however key diversions in Statyx's creation has resulted in a menagerie of additional or altered capabilities, one of the most significant being his super speed. Whereas Shadow uses hover shoes to achieve high-speed movement, Statyx's is a natural feature of his physiology. Other key differences are a constant electrical current running through his nervous system that his body generates infinitely, making him a powerful electrokinetic and a living source of almost perpetual energy, and most of his body being made of chaos energy making him exceptionally attuned to its use and abilities.
In comparison to Shadow, who was originally intended to be a living vaccine and was altered for combat at the last minute in preparation for the Black Arms, Statyx from his very conception was created for the express purpose of fighting. As a result Statyx's mind and body are hard-wired for combat; by merely witnessing a combat maneuver being performed Statyx can replicate and perform it near-perfectly. Initially this would require multiple attempts and repetition to even replicate a technique to a passable degree, but training and experience have made it so that Statyx need only witness it once, only limited by the requirements of the technique.
As a hedgehog (albeit artificially created in the image of one) with super speed, Statyx has access to the same speed-based attacks and maneuvers used by the likes of Sonic and Shadow. Techniques such as the Homing Attack, Bounce Attack, Light Speed Dash, and more are all at his disposal. In terms of sheer speed Statyx is an even match for other speedsters such as Shadow and Silver, but falls just short in comparison to the blue blur himself.
Electrokinesis
Due to the circumstances concerning his creation, Statyx is an entirely self-reliant electrokinetic who draws his prowess from an infinite and perpetual stream of electricity constantly cycling through his nervous system. While this means Statyx is capable of using his powers regardless of circumstance or physical state, it also means his powers are uniquely tied to neural system- his mental and emotional state specifically. For much of his conscious life this meant that Statyx, naive and fragile as he was, was completely incapable of enforcing any stability or refined control over his abilities regardless of how much he studied or trained, and was frequently prone to dangerous electrical outbursts. This power-to-control problem went in the exact opposite direction following the betrayal of Wolfe and his team, which caused Statyx to become cold and emotionally withdrawn; while he had the skill and the control to shape his powers however he desired, he was incapable of drawing out any significant amount of power regardless of his level of skill, significantly limiting his electrokinesis and only getting worse the further he withdrew into himself. It was only after coming to terms with himself- his identity, his purpose, his history- and learning from Sonic and his friends that Statyx was able to finally make the connection as to how his powers worked, and finally unleash his electrokinetic abilities to their full potential. Ever since then his powers have entered another secondary cycle; the sense of pride and accomplishment from remembering that moment feeds into his powers, and every use of his powers reminds him of that defining moment, as a result granting his powers some much-needed stability and consistent output. Accepting his own love of thrill-seeking has further amplified his power output, especially when amid an intense fight or situation.
Even while his power output was self-inhibited, Statyx's sheer skill was outdone an exceptionally short list of people, as he spent just short of a decade refining his abilities despite his own limitations. Following his breakthrough Statyx is nothing short of a master, having all the control, power, and even passion to hone his electrokinesis to a downright artform. Although capable of unleashing electricity from any part of his body in any direction he wishes, performing kinetic movements- punching, kicking, throwing- in the desired direction makes it that much easier for Statyx and allows him to use his powers on a more instinctual level.
