Tesla The Hedgehog, full name Tesla Hunt IX, is a former dochfutbol player and the main protagonist of The Bizarre Life of Tesla Hunt. Living in the United Kingdom of Invid, Tesla was born to his father, Tesla "Nikola" Hunt VIII, who is a genius scientist and inventor, and to a mother named Cornelia Hunt, who is a former nurse who supported the Invidian military. Tesla has 2 other siblings: Martin "Marty" Hunt and Tessa "Huntress" Hunt. Tesla is currently dating Aurora The Porcupine (who is currently not on the wiki yet).
Tesla owns a 1976 Nihongo Spartan, a Japanese coupe that was based on the 1975 Nissan Skyline, 1972 Toyota Celica, and 1970 Dodge Challenger.
Personality
Tesla's personality in action.
Tesla is a carefree individual with a sense of sarcasm. Tesla has proven to be a courageous individual and can quickly right his wrongs. When fighting, Tesla becomes very defensive, and would spew out insults to further aggravate his opponents. It's a technique he uses to blind his opponents with rage so much that it can leave him a chance to really hurt them.
Tesla would also break the fourth wall, looking at [you] and asking for his help, but this wouldn't really do anything because he knows you won't help.
Tesla seems to have a fondness for summer, because he's the most happiest and energetic in that seasons; unlike winter where he is usually tired and melancholy.
Backstory

Development
A history of Tesla's known redesigns.
I remember creating Tesla back in 2005 through a Sonic character builder I found while searching through the Internet. Back then, he was originally called Sparky, and he literally looked like a blue clone of Shadow The Hedgehog. I don't exactly remember what I did with him after that, though, but I know that I kept modifying his appearance.
In the end of 2013, Tesla received a big redesign. He still looked a little like Shadow, but at the same time, he was more like Sonic. He was black, had a blue stripe that went from his topmost quill-- he didn't have hair tuffs yet, though. He also wore black and white socks with some cool-looking sneakers, too. He was redesigned again in 2014, and he started to look a little like Silver now. He now had boots, 3 emo-like hair tuffs, and his gloves were now blue. Near the end of that year, Tesla would receive his final redesign. His design was aimed to be simple, yet interesting at the same time. He now has 2 stripes on his arms and legs, which glow when using powers, and the hair tuffs have been "cartoonified" to look like leaves instead of messy, emo bangs.
After failing to win the SFW Winter Awards in 2016, I gave Tesla a concept design, following the rules of a new retrofuturistic design aesthetic that I call "zipperpunk". I forgot what it was supposed to be, though. All I know was that this was not a true redesign and Tesla would still have his 2014 1/2 design for this year.
Powers
Tesla primarily has electrokinesis, which is the ability to use electricity as a form of power. With these powers, he can carry over hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity without hurting himself, and use them in combat. Tesla has stripes on his head, legs, and arms that can glow whenever he uses these powers; however, they can be lethal and touching his stripes would feel like touching a hot pan. Another power that Tesla has is nightvision. Thanks to his pupilless eyes that can glow brighter than LED, Tesla is practically a living flashlight. He is able to see in total darkness for only a few meters ahead of him.
Another unique power Tesla has is the ability to run as fast as light. However, he limits this to running only as fast as 750 mph and only travels at lightspeed for quick teleportation. Light-speeding would drain a lot of power and Tesla couldn't be able to perform this with his strength alone-- he would need Invidium fragments (TBA) to give him just enough energy to use it.
Tesla's electrokinesis is fueled by electrical signals and sources. This means whenever Tesla is near an electrical source, such as a generator or a thunderstorm, the severity and strength of his powers can vary based on how strong those signals are.
Abilities
Night vision: Able to see in near-total darkness, but can only see no more than 290cm away from him.
Electromagnetic Teleport: Capable of turning into a huge bolt of lightning, pouncing into the most powerful source of electricity in the area; similar to Sonic's Homing Attack. This will only work if the electric source is within half a mile of where Tesla is standing. Electric source must be strong enough in order for this to work; like a generator.
Electromagnetic Surfing: The ability of turning into a bolt of lightning and "surf" across a line emitting electricity, like a telephone pole. Heat empowerment: Powers are most powerful during thunderstorms and hot temperatures (deserts, coastal plains, greenhouses).
Weaknesses
Cold: Tesla's powers are almost useless in cold weather, specifically when it's below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. This is mainly due because in order for his powers to work, it must be in a warm environment. Lightning won't work at all when it's cold. Cold is commonly found in sub-arctic environments.
Colorblind: Tesla's eyes are simply colorless rings, but they glow blue because of electricity flowing through his blood. As a result, Tesla can only see cool colors such as blue, green, or purple. Colors besides that are in monochrome.
Insulators: Tesla's electrical powers are not able to affect objects made of materials that negate lightning, such as cardboard, concrete, and brick.

Curtis The Porcupine
Tesla and Curtis go way back. They met in high school and became best friends ever since. Although Curtis does get on Tesla's nerves most of the time, he's able to set aside their differences and build the most powerful friendship ever seen... at least for a little while, maybe.
