This is a Sonic the Hedgehog site of a clearly different quality than most: it is small, sweet, yet has grown reputable for being chocked full of oddities that other Sonic sites seem to lack. Concept: "Mobius" is the definitive Sonic site to express the idealism of the fan. [read more]

- Light silver close-lying fur
- Light tan skin muzzle and inner ears
- Large, serious looking eyes with yellow irises, black pupils and glassy white sclera. Black markings at the side of each eye
- 2 much elongated and quite rigid contoured quills coming out of the back of his head, 5 pliable upright-pointing “quills” resting right on his forehead and two arching much less pliable quills on his back
- White furry mane on his chest that extends past his neck somewhat
- Small, triangular, perked ears somewhat hidden by his “head quills”
- Long, shiny black nose with no apparent nostrils
- Small, slightly arched tail
(Speculation: As Silver is a hedgehog like Sonic and Amy, it’s very likely that he has feet that do not have visibly separate toes. But since his uncovered feet have not been seen, this is unconfirmed.)
Attire:
- A pair of white gloves with gold cuffs; both have teal colored markings on the palms and back of the hands. These gloves allow him to utilise his PK easier.
- A pair of navy blue, white, teal tipped boots with gold collars at the top to match the gloves. There’s a red jewel like adornment under each collar
- When riding Extreme Gear, Silver wears a pair of navy blue and teal boots with two lighter teal coloured lines extending around the back of the boot and white crossed laces beneath the yellow boot cuff. Silver also wears a ring-like object of unknown origin on his hip. This object allows him to manipulate gravity

Appearance: Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Nintendo Wii/Sony PlayStation 2, 2008
Personality details:
Silver isn’t all that complicated to figure out. He is a hedgehog with clearly defined morals and a nigh unshakable stride. Once a threat rears its ugly head, you can bet he’ll be there to stop it at all costs. Naturally, this mentality gives Silver a personal grudge against injustice of any sort and willing to align himself with whomever is willing to help his cause.
However, while he may give off that righteous hero vibe (or fail in a corny manner from time to time), Silver is not without his faults. He is quite immature which makes him quite single-minded in regards to his duties, adopting a “end justifies the means” mentality when in need of focus. Moreover, he gains a confrontational demeanor, acting downright rude to those who show the slightest hint of getting in his way. This makes him almost unapproachable. When this belief is shaken, he can become quite lost, especially when alone, since this can take a toll on his insecurities. He also has a tendency to be very naïve.
Historical biography:
Silver the Hedgehog is quite unlike any other member of his species; he does not possess super speed, is not genetically altered and does not wield any particular weapons (such as firearms or hammers). No, this guy uses one of the most powerful tools a person can have: his mind. Silver uses Psychokinetic abilities to aid him in his heroic endeavors, and has done so throughout his life.
Though his first appearance in this series was wiped from the timeline, it would seem that fate has brought him to the present a few times, in order to prevent various events from ruining his own time.

Likes: Freedom, peaceful worlds, seeing happy people, using his PK abilities and serving the good of mankind. Silver is a firm believer of self-encouragement and standing up for yourself.

Non-video game portrayals: N/A
Theme Song(s):
Sonic the Hedgehog (aka Sonic Next): “Dreams of an Absolution” by the Remix Factory’s Lee Brotherton
Personal character analysis/commentary (by Ryan the Game Master):
I'll be brief; this guy doesn't have a lot going for him. His debut game is considered one of the worst Sonic games of all time (if not the worst), his subsequent appearances haven't been any better and his abilites and overall appearance is treated with much disdain outside his rather small fanbase. That and he's a brat to practically everyone who "gets in his way". Half of the time in Rivals I wanted to pop him upside his "original" head.
It's quite a shame, really. He has a lot of potential and his personality, while lame, is the most fleshed out. Moreover, his future adds another layer of intrigue to the Sonic mythos. According to various sources during Sonic Next's (depressingly short) development, Silver's not the only PK user in his time, in fact, everyone does it. To me, this makes me want to catch a glimpse into his future to see what it's like. That's really the only thing I really like about Silver; he brings more amazing possibilities to the table. It just sucks that no one is willing to straighten out his appearances so that they make sense and aren't rife with plotholes. If Sonic Team was willing to at least take the time to do some inspecting within their own storyline, the possibilities are nearly endless.
But, as we all know, they don't give a damn about that, so that just leaves Silver with a generic supporting label...and yet another reason why this series is hated by critics.
