Claw by Zonerz. Great Job! *ding*
Claw is a 10 year old Hedgehog that(don't ask how) is Rage the Hedgehog's adoptive son. He is, as a lot of people call it, goth in a way, and is rarely seen caring for people other than his adoptive father, Rage(again, don't ask how Rage is an adoptable father when he is only 12, let's just say he is a great caretaker and he just wanted to adopt a child and the people said no.
And Rage beat the heck out of em.)
Personality[]
Claw seems to rarely care about people, he does, it's just not very noticable. If someone needs help he is usually reluctant at first but will always come through, he gets this from his, im just gonna say it, father, Rage, who is the same way. Claw also may not seem to show respect, but like I said before, he does have respect for, just about everyone, it's just not easily noticed. He also is prone to hiding his emotions, yet again, thanks to his father. If he is sad, he will usually block his face or just leave the room entirely.
While Claw comes from a family where they rush into things and fights first, Claw is the complete opposite. He is actually very level-headed and calm, and doesn't like to fight or use his powers. He wiil usually try using self-defense, but he won't hit his opponent. If that doesn't work, he will go hand to hand, and if the situation is REALLY dire, he will use his powers.
Appearence[]
Claw wears a dark grey hoodie that blocks his spikes, and he has bangs covering his right eye(so when drawing it, it would appear to be on the left side). His bangs/quills(which I tend to call spikes) are black. He also wears black gloves with yellow fingertips, his shoes are black with white laces and his eyes are green.
Bio[]
Claw was ignored a lot when he was with his parents, and he would constantly act up and try to get attention himself. His parents never realised and said "enough is enough" and dropped him off at an adoption center. Claw just started hating his parents, thinking that he wasn't the child they wanted. In the center, he usually never spoke up and would be sitting away from everybody. He figured that if his own parents didn't want him anymore, no one would, so he just went through the days, sometimes getting beaten up for being so quiet and other times not. Eventually, he was called to the office one day to leave the adoption center.
Claw was overjoyed with what he had heard, and walked to the office. Somehow, Rage was adopting him. Claw was kind of shocked that a- what, 11 year old? Was adopting him, but said nothing about it as it could get him thrown right back into the center. Rage had asked him how he was doing, and, not wanting to let his joy show and be a complete happy guy, he just shrugged and said "Hmmph.". Claw pretty much didn't hang around Rage for a while, about 3 months to be exact. Rage was wondering why he was like this, and one day, he said "How about we go for a drive?" Rage knew Claw couldn't run very fast, so he offered a drive. Claw rolled his eyes and sighed. "Alright." He mumbled.
Rage took him around to a pretty disclosed location in the forrest, and showed him something.
He showed him where Zugon had attacked his family.
It remained in ruins, trees burnt down, his house(which was nothing but a teepee type thing) was smashed, it was a very sad sight for Rage.
Claw rolled his eyes yet again. "What is this place?" he asked a bit impatiently.
"This... this is my home. Err, what's left of it." Rage said. "My family was here, before..." Rage stopped himself. He didn't want to cry in front of his son.
Claw immedietely understood and his eyes widened. He looked at his new father and understood that he had gone through worse things that he did. This was when Rage realised that Claw isn't all goth...
"R-Rage?" Claw asked
"Yeah?" Rage turned to face Claw.
Claw wrapped his arms around Rage and hugged him. "Thank you..." Claw said with a few tears in his eyes.
Rage, a bit surprised by this sudden emotion, hugged his son back. "Don't mention it." He grinned
"I love you..." Claw said, still hugging his father
Rage, again, very surprised at what was happening. He felt a different feeling that he hasn't felt much in his life. He felt love.
"I love you too, Claw... I want you to know, I have never shown anyone this, you are the only person to see my old home..." Rage responded.
they drove back home, both of them having a whole new level of emotion for one another...
Relationships(feel free to edit)[]
Rage the Hedgehog[]
Claw, like most sons would to thier father, looks up to Rage, as Claw didn't think he was going to get adopted because of his gothic, fu** the conformists attitude. Of course, being Claw, he never really shows it and keeps to himself most of the time, when he really is just glad he got adopted. He also is a bit jealous of Rage because he always stands strong no matter what happens to him.
Powers/Abillities[]
Claw possesses amazing Darkness/Shadow abillities and can "sneak" into their mind and make their greatest fears and their most hated things into a physical form. Claw also has a small arsenal of sharp swords at his disposal. While these swords don't possess any powers or abillities, they can become a great asset to him.
Weaknesses[]
Claw is weak to light powers(not light itself, but powers) as he has some darkness molded into him. He is also very weak to fire as he hates being in hot and dry situations, and being in one of those types of situations can easily bring him on his knees.
