Erik (EXE)

''"Catch me?HA! Give me a break, I'll slip right by you!" ''

                                          -EXE

EXE is an experiment gone wrong in the No Zone labs. He was created by one of the mentally unstable inmates of Zone Zail, but was found by No Zone scientists. He loves causing problems for the Zone Cops, and tends to escape easily once he gets a collar that makes him solid off of his neck, once he does this he can literally slip through the cell. His favorite Zone Cop to annoy is Zonic, and gains happiness when he causes problems. EXE Uses his Super-Strength to take down enemies and get out of places with ease.

EXE is the third Sonic FC Zonerz has made. His English voice actor might be (and I know he might flip out if he sees this xD) Goodbye18000 from youtube ^^' (dont judge me...)

Concept and Creation
EXE has actually gone through about 7 or 8 redesigns, the third one was the biggest update for his look, for that's when his colors changed. His first design was more like a mix of Scourge, Sonic, and Sonic.EXE. (His inspiration) In this design he had a dark blue fur in Sonics design, with sunglasses and a leather jacket that looked like Scourges', he had the blood coming out of his eyes, which were a bright red. At this stage of making him, he was just a goop and had no form of his own, and depended on other peoples' bodies, so basically Sonic.exe. At this point there was not really much of a backstory he just kinda came out of no-where... he also had a dark blue smoke by his feet constantly.

Once his colors were changed, it was easier to come up with a better backstory. Which I'm still working on... BUT IT'S STILL BETTER THAN BEFORE! Once i had a basic idea of his powers, backstory, etc... I had to come up with his look... This is where I had a couple problems. However with a lot of testing things out and doodling, I finally got what we have today.

Throughout the designs, the main idea was to make him look sinister, but not to over-do it. which why some of his designs were scrapped, some were just too much to me. In 2 of his designs he was going to have chest fur. This idea hasn't been entirely scrapped, I might test around with it.

Power Type: Strength

Powers: Teleportation, Super Strength, Hover abilities, Can take control of people's bodies

Forms: None

Likes: Being Evil, Causing problems for Zone Cops, Controlling People, Feeling Powerful, Scaring people, Annoying Zonic

Dislikes: Zone cops, Zonic, being in a cell, being entirely solid, Being Stopped, Having No Power, Other Innmates, People who get simple questions wrong, when asked if peoples hands would go through him if they tried to touch/pet him x3, being ignored, being mistaken as Sonic, fangirls for various reasons

Personality: EXE loves being a Smart-Alec and correcting simple mistakes, even if it has no effect on whatever he's doing. He's also a Genius and one of the reasons he loves being a Smart-Alec is to show off. He loves to be overly sarcastic or overly dramatic to get under his enemies' skin. He's Mischeivious, and loves to sneak around. He has a bit of a temper and gets frustrated easily. He's also Impaitient, which adds on to the frustration levels. EXE feels that he is superior over all other Mobians. Sometimes EXE can act quite immature and like a teenager. He gets cocky whenever he knows he has an advantage, and this allows him to let his guard down.

Theme Song: With Me- Crush 40

Gender: Male

Weaknesses: EXE is not very fast and can be caught with ease if his powers are not working. When EXE is put back in Zone Zail, he gets a collar put on him that cancels out his powers, and makes him solid. EXE can't loose too much Exequotonium from his body or else he'll grow weak fairly quick, this is where his ability to ectract Exequotonium from other things come in. He is quite cocky when he knows he has an advantage, and due to this he lets his guard down, resulting in probably a failed plan. EXE cannot get hurt by simple bullets, swords, etc. due to the fact that he is not completely physical. However he can get beat up, but the only thing it'll do is slow him down, it will not do any actual damage. EXE is almost dependent on using his claws when fighting, otherwise he's not very good at hand-to-hand combat, and is most likely to lose.

Zonic the Zone Cop
EXE and Zonic are enemies. EXE first encountered Zonic in No Zone when he attacked Zone Zail, he underestimated his capabilities and was defeated and arrested. Although he does think of him as a worthy opponent, he doesn't show it. He respects the young hedgehogs' strength and persistence, but finds it quite annoying as well. But he annoys Zonic as well, which is one of his favorite pass times, especially when he's stuck in a cell. He does this to other Zone Cops as well, but he likes to get under Zonics' skin the most.

Sam the Hedgehog
EXE and Sam are enemies. He first confronted Sam and Zonic while he was messing around in No Zone. He respects her capabilities as well, but doesn't find as fun to mess around and get under her skin though. But he still does it. He often see's her as just another Damsel in over her head when he's cocky. He has fought her on her own a couple times, she's almost as worthy a fighter as Zonic to him, but doesn't really bother to think about it. He just fights when he has to.

Professor Zharles
Professor Zharles is his creator. He's never met him in person, but has heard about him. He sometimes does wonder what it would've been like to maybe have a father, but usually just shrugs the thought off and continues with what he was doing, or thinks of something else. Professor Zharles was aware of the fact that EXE had a mind of his own, then he had lost it and reprogrammed his mind for his own doings with a special microchip he created, he was soon arrested afterwards. So for certain things EXE has no free-will.

Trinity the Cat
EXE was still in his early stages of development when he met Trinity. He found out that Zharles had been a very good friend of her family. After the few suspicious feelings had passed, Him and Trinity became friends. In his current life as a wanted criminal in No Zone, he and Trinity are still friends and allies, he doesn't remember very much about her because of when Zharles wipes his memory and reprogrammed his brain. However he does wonder every once in awhile about why she calls him 'Erik' instead of EXE...

Zhylee the Tiger
EXE doesn't know too much about her, Trinity tends not to talk about her unless she has to. He does notice though that whenever she passes his cell, he seems to make her uncomfortable. Sometimes for sheer amusement he watches her asw she goes past, just to give her a little scare.

History
In Construction!



In the year of 3218, At the private lab of Professor Zharles, EXE was fully developed and ready for use, he had been a work in the making for 11 years, Zharles was his teacher and also his father. He trained EXE originally for uses of good. Zharles had found the substance than took it into testing and discovered that it could take form of a mobian, he quickly learned how it worked and acted in it's small puddle of a body then helped it get stronger and create it's body. Once this happened Zharles spent all of his spare time helping the creature learn and found out about it's personality. He also found how easily it could be manipulated and changed, He named the substance Exequotonium, EXE for short. EXE was a very naive creature, and at this stage could be easily lied to, or tricked. Through the years of it's training, it gained a personality and various skills. These including swordsmanship, hand to hand combat, and it learned to control it's special abilities. Once the 11 years of working had passed, he had been givin a true name which was Erik. Zharles was going to present him to the other professors, but before showing the professors, he had to tell Warden Zobotnik and Zails the lead professor in No Zone, two of Zharles' close colleagues. However his idea was quickly denied, he tried to persuade them a bit but this only heated up the argument and they demanded him be rid of his "Creature". Zharles was quickly enraged, all of his work down the drain. He had formed a fatherly bond toward Erik and now was being ordered to destroy him. But with this, Zharles had his own plan. Erik or EXE had been in his charging chamber, for he still needed that currently to regain energy. Zharles quickly dragged him out and threw him on his work table, EXE was confused and a bit fearful. Zharles knocked him out and began work on his creation which would get him his revenge. Zharles had began to have a constant paranoia as he trained his new killer. He had been able to reprogram his mind to do his own bidding, making it's goals to destroy No Zone. With this change also changed it's personality and the creature became quite power hungry one re-realeased. Once he had finished his training, he was put back in his chamber to recharge. Zharles had been walking home when he was arrested, but when he walked in through the doors of the prison, he did so with a smirk, for his creation would be in it's recharger for the next 10 years.

It was now the year 3236, EXE had been in development for a total of 21 years, and he soon regained conciousness in his chamber, breaking out of it and then took in his surroundings. He did not recognize the place he was in, for when Zharles re-programmed his mind, he lost his keen memories of him and Zharles. He looked back out what he had broken out of and saw a plate with some cursive underneath it. The plate had been cut of from old age and fell off, the part that was remaining said "Exe". He figured that was his name, he tried to read the cursive underneath, but after several tries he gave up and figured it wasn't important. What it did say was "Erik". He tried to remember all that he could and what he was supposed to do, then it the goals that had been implanted in his mind came to him. Destroy The Zone Cops. He did a few quick training sessions but because of his eagerness and lust for power he went in a bit too soon. He snuck into the facility and was able to cause some panamonium in the labs. He had destroyed a good portion of the labs before he realized that he would soon be out matched. Zails was in the lab at the time of his attack and was able to hear what the creature called himself before fleeing, he had called himself "EXE", he then thought back to when Zharles was reporting his creation and remembered he had used the same term for the name of the substance. He realized what had happened and found it hard to believe that such a good old friend of his would create something like him. After he regained his thoughts he quickly went to tell the Warden of the links between the two.

EXE had fled to Mobius Prime for safety and found a small villiage not to far from New Mobotropolis. He stayed in hiding for several years, learning all of his capabilities, re-mastering and controlling them. He kept his powers secret to the locals and did his best to blend in. Once he knew that he had truely re-mastered his capabilities, he left hiding and attacked the towns nearby, and soon moved onto New Mobotropolis. He had damaged about 1/4 of the city before the Zone Cops interfered, he then fleeted the city to stop himself from being captured. He then tried to attack No Zone while the Cops were back on Mobius helping the clean up. He had suceeded in destroying most of the lab and breaking out several inmates including Scourge, Mephiles, Fiona, and several others. He was watching the chaos from an alley nearby when he was confronted by Zonic the Zone Cop, he was already cocky because of all the destruction he had caused already, and underestimated the hedgehogs' capabilities. He was soon arrested and placed in Zone Zail, where the current Professors try to continue their research upon him. He does however tend to escape about once or twice every 3 months, and he stays out of sight of the Zone Cops for a couple days before he attacks somewhere. The Zone Cops also now try to reach out to Zharles and see if he'll tell them anything about him, usually only getting a chuckles and few words like "Too late" or "it's done".

Trivia

 * whenever EXE scratches or stabs someone, there is a 40% chance that some Exequotonium, will enter the victims body. If said victim has a certain amount in their body for over a certain amount of time, some parts of the victims body may become dependant on it. If this does happen, then if someone tries to remove all of the Exequotonium the results could be fatal.
 * If someone has Exequotonium in their body, if he puts a claw in a part of said persons' body, he can extract the Exequotonium from the persons' body
 * EXE is 3% chaos energy, 97% Other Substance
 * EXE is unable to have cuts, scratches, etc. because he is not a physical being
 * EXE's claws are retractable
 * when EXE retracts his claws the green on the tips of them, appear on his fingers
 * EXE calls Zonic "ZuZu" to annoy him
 * EXE was going to have chest fur in 2 of his designs
 * EXE was inspired by the Sonic.exe creepypasta
 * He doesn't care who he hurts in the process of his plans
 * EXE tends to take places over with ease, instead of making his own fortress/hideout
 * Sometimes EXE does wonder what having a family would've been like, but shrugs it off figuring it's too late for that now
 * Since Zonerz hardly ever saw any pictures of Zonic with no backquills, she assumed he had none, so in her fanverse, EXE is the one who ripped them off. Zonerz still doesn't know if Zonic has legit back-quills
 * like his claws, his back quills are retractable, so they're not always seen on him
 * EXE's actual name is Erik, but he has no memory of that being his name
 * EXE's possible love interest is Trinity
 * EXE cannot read cursive
 * EXE is a great singer, but hates to sing
 * EXE's shirt is actually Zharles' old labcoat but just cut short with the sleeves rolled up and buttoned up a bit more
 * It took 21 years for Zharles to make EXE as he is now
 * EXE is staying as a Villian
 * As a child, EXE was a scardy-Cat
 * If someone see's EXE as Zharles' "son", then that would mean EXE and Zonic are cousins
