R.O.D.A.R. the Glitchrec

Ashura is an android hedgehog who was created by Dr. Robotnik at the beginning of his reign. He is somewhat cold towards other people due to being suspicious of nearly everyone. He is somewhat of a nomadic recluse, often moving from location to location while hiding from the rest of society due to a fear of being revealed for what he really is.

Ashura is also the leader of Team Glitch, a team consisting of two other rejectandroids, Wechidna the Glitchidna and Phylix the Glitchupine. He acts as somewhat of a brother to Wechidna and a father figure to Phylix.

Creation
Ashura was created by Dr. Robotnik in 3225, soon after his coup d'état. After a few years of testing and training, Ashura was sent on his firs mission; pose as a liberated Robian and "befriend" the Knothole Freedom Fighters in order to gather intel on them. On his way to knothole, he saw something fast and blue running through a field. Utilizing his own speed, he followed the blue thing, which he knew was Sonic the Hedgehog because in his years of training he had learned what his enemy looked like.

Recon
After reaching Knothole, Ashura immediately sprung one of the numerous traps surrounding the village. The Freedom Fighters rushed out to see what had happened and saw Ashura in a net hanging from a tree. They questioned him about who he was and where he came from. He said exactly what he was told to; his name was Ashura and he was a Robian who had regained his free will, escaped Robotropolis, and wanted to join the Knothole Freedom Fighters faction. They were suspicious due to the fact that he didn't look like a normal Robian, but they let him stay in one of the homes in the center of the village, where they took turns guarding him. In the middle of the night after everyone fell asleep, he transmitted a message that stated he had infiltrated Knothole and was going to try to earn their trust.

Change of Alligence
After about three months, Ashura was permitted to go on his first mission with the Freedom Fighters. The mission was simple enough; sneak into Robotropolis and sabotage Robotnik's latest super weapon. When he reported back to Dr. Robotnik he was instructed to lead the Freedom Fighters into a small storage room with no openings so that Robotnik could flood it with sleep gas in order to knock them out for Robotization. When Ashura was chosen to be a part of the initial recon team, he seemed shocked and confused. He thought it was quite strange that the Freedom Fighters would trust someone they practically just met. But they insisted that he go since he would know the current layout of Dr. Robotnik's base. During the trip to the storage room, Ashura experienced a major moral crisis. He started to wonder why exactly Robotnik hated the Freedom Fighters so much. From what he could tell they only helped other Mobians. He started to feel strange anomaly in his processing core. He eventually started questioning his mission, feeling that it would be wrong to betray these Mobians that had shown him such humility despite what he was. He decided to break off from the group and confront his creator, but not before revealing the location of the super weapon. Ashura eventually made his way to Robotnik's control room, which is where he knew the evil doctor would be. Ashura crept into the room, sneaking behind Robotnik in order to ambush him. He leaped toward his former master, but the doctor moved out of the way at the last second. Ashura landed on the floor, only to be picked up by the nonexistent scruff of hi neck and shaken around by a very angry Dr. Robotnik. Robotnik lumbered over to the intercom system and "invited" the Freedom Fighters up to the control room to learn a "truth" about Ashura. Robotnik then tossed Ashura into a corner of the room where he landed in a crumpled heap.

Shortly later Sonic and Sally Acorn arrived in the control room and demanded to know what he was talking about. Robotnik told them the whole story, an evilly gleeful glint in his eye. As the two Freedom Fighters insisted that he must be wrong, Ashura started to get up. Once again he attempted to ambush the evil doctor, but this time he succeeded in getting him in a headlock from behind. He and his creator struggled against each other, making a mess of the room. Suddenly an alarm sounded in the main compound; the other Freedom Fighters had succeeded in sabotaging the super weapon. This surprised and enraged Robotnik, who managed to grab Ashura and once again toss him away, this time in Sonic and Sally's direction. They managed to dodge, but Ashura hit the wall with a resounding crash. As Robotnik was trying to figure out where the rest of the Freedom Fighters were, Sonic and Sally started to fight him. Ashura, with much effort, once again got up from where he laid. Some of the servos in his limbs were damaged, but he could still move, though not without a great deal of synthetic pain. This is not what upset him most, though; the strange anomalous feeling in his processing core had returned. He would later find out that it meant guilt, but for now he thought he was malfunctioning due to being tossed around so much. He limped over to the door and destroyed the doorposts that supported the ceiling. Chunks of metal and concrete started to fall from above, breaking machinery. Dr. Robotnik got pinned by a large chunk of concrete, giving Sonic and Sally a chance to escape. Ashura tried to escape as well, but his creator grabbed him by the ankle to prevent his escape.

Liberation
As usual, Dr. Robotnik survived the ordeal with but a few scratches here and there. Ashura wasn't so lucky; his body was severely damaged and was rendered near irreparable. After the pseudo rock slide was over Robotnik deactivated him and took him to his workshop for repairs. He had decided that, while he could not use the android for infiltration missions anymore, he could still use him as a weaponized warrior. Ashura was slung up to the ceiling by chains so that Dr. Robotnik would be able to easily reach into his mechanical body in order to remove and replace his many broken parts. After days of tinkering Ashura was practically as good as new. One thing had bothered Dr. Robotnik though, the fact that his creation had been able to so freely go against his orders. He decided to replace Ashura's complex processing core with something a bit simpler, such as a SWATbot core. Just as he was about to remove Ashura's processing core there was a power surge, causing a short black-out in the workshop. After the black-out ended something strange happened; Ashura's eyes flashed on and his primary systems went online. He reached for the hook that connected him to the chain and broke it. He then proceeded to grab the nearest tool that could be used to knock someone out. He used the wrench he found to knock Dr. Robotnik unconcious. He knew that Robotnik had been working on special android parts in case Ashura had been able to complete his task. He went to the lab and grabbed an android skin, a new vocal processor, new monitor eyes, and the first set of cloths he could find. He also grabbed a small toolbox as he left the facility.

A New Identity
After leaving Robotropolis for good, Ashura was left lost and confused. Should he go back to Knothole? Try to ak the Freedom Fighters for their forgiveness? No, of course not. They would never trust him again. And why should they? He betrayed them. He was going to let them get Roboticized! He knew he could never face them again. Ashura decided to go into hiding in the deserts that bordered the former Kingdom of Acorn. with his stolen goods he started his journey with only his thoughts to comfort him.
