Miles "Tails" Prower .:: A two-tailed whiz kid with great potential...
CHARACTER
INFORMATION
Name: Miles Prower
Nicknames:
Tails, Kitsune-chan/Fox Boy (Rouge calls him that from time to time), Shorty (only Wave calls him this)
Race: Fox
(Speculation: If you choose to get
technical, Tails is most likely a Red Fox, since that is the most common,
well-known species of fox, and is also the only species of fox that matches
Tails' color attributes the best.)
Gender: Male
Age: 8
Date of birth: Unknown
(Tails' DOB is generally confirmed as October 16th, since
that was the release of his first video game. However, it is not canon to the
video game storyline, as his true DOB is unknown. If you find it necessary to
add his DOB nonetheless, October 16th would be the most ideal choice.)
Birthplace: Unknown; it could
either be Westside Island, or Cocoa Island
Height: 80 centimeters (2 feet and 6 inches)
Weight: 20 kilograms (44 pounds)
Ability Type: Flight
Physical techniques:
(1). Spin Attack
Description: While in locomotion,
Tails can curl down and take on a fetal position, rolling along the ground as a
ball at a very high speed and rate of torque, meant primarily for breaking
through barriers, or destroying enemies.
In-game debut: Sonic the Hedgehog
2, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, 1992
(2). Spin Jump
Description: Also referred to as
the "spinball jump," Tails is able to leap into the air and curl into
a spinning, tightly compacted ball of destruction which can destroy enemies and
break barriers.
In-game debut: Sonic the Hedgehog
2, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, 1992
(3). Spin Dash
Description: Originally named the
"Super Spin Dash," Tails is able to curl down and begin revving up,
taking on a diagonally pivoted, ovular shape. Once unleashed, Tails blasts
forward in an acceleration roll of high speeds with limited airborne
capability, meant to break barriers or mow down enemies. It seems that either
Tails learned this move from Sonic, or vice versa.
In-game debut: Sonic the Hedgehog
2, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, 1992
(4). Tail Swipe
Description: Tails puts his twin
tails to good offensive use by swinging them at an enemy.
In-game debut: Sonic Adventure, Sega Dreamcast, 1999
(5). Thunder Shoot
Description: While in flight
formation, Tails surrounds his teammates with electricity and launches them at
enemies to stun or destroy them, with enough power.
Appearance: Sonic Heroes, Nintendo
GameCube, Sony PlayStation 2/Microsoft Xbox, 2003
Abilities and aptitude:
(1). Like his
nickname suggests, Tails has been bequeathed with the gift of not one, but two
large, fluffy tails. He takes this genetic abnormality to his advantage, as he
is able to use his two tails as rotary blades to fly like a helicopter at
speeds that can impress even Sonic! His nicknamesakes are also used to supply
an extra boost of speed, enabling Tails to sail across the ground using his
tails as a rear propeller. Thanks to this talent, he stands a considerable
chance in a race against Sonic or Shadow.
He can also use his
tails for defensive and offensive purposes, since one quick swipe of them packs
enough speed and force to slice weeds in two or puncture Eggman's robots.
However, if he uses them in flight mode for too long, he gets fatigued after
awhile.
(2). Very experienced
swimmer.
Transformations/Alternate forms: N/A (Super Tails, while interesting, has yet to be confirmed
as canon.)
Hobbies and talents:
(1). Extremely talented and clever mechanic,
rivaling Dr. Robotnik.
(2). Excellent piloting, aerial dogfighting and
driving skills.
(3). Satisfactory skills at sports like
boarding and grinding, which he probably learned from Sonic.
(4). Has much skill with using and tuning up a
variety of Extreme Gear. He knew how to ride them before Sonic did, in fact.
Weaknesses:
(1). Astraphobic. Tails is dreadfully scared of
lightning and thunder.
(2). His intellect gives him the
stereotypically bad habit of blabbering on and talking too much. Needless to
say, this trait sometimes irritates Sonic and others to the point where they
start ignoring him. To make things worse, this can ruin a perfectly laid plan
if he does not watch it.
(3). A bit too humble to realize his potential.
(4). Sometimes has issues with self-confidence,
as Tails is often faced with a dilemma of being unable to easily step out of
Sonic's shadow.
Physical Appearance:
- Close-lying golden yellow fur with an
occasional orange hue
- Golden yellow furred hands
- Golden yellow furred broad feet with no
apparent visible toes
- White, fluffy fur muzzle
- White fluffy fur inner ears
- White fluffy fur tummy/chest
- Large optimistic eyes with sky blue irises,
black pupils and glassy white sclera
- 3 bent, long and smooth bangs of golden
yellow fur coming out from his forehead
- Large, triangular, constantly alert and
perked ears
- Small, bulbous nose with no apparent nostrils
- Two large, fluffy and golden yellow-furred,
white-tipped tails
Attire:
- A pair of white
gloves with thick, sock-like gloved fastened with a black metal ringlet
- A pair of duel-tone
sneakers where the back half is red and the frontal half is white and seems to
overlap the red, with gray soles
- A pair of white
socks with an additional set of dark gray ringlets fastening them to the shoes
- When riding Extreme
Gear , he sometimes dons a pair of grey and white goggles with blue lenses.
Curiously, they’re never seen over his eyes when riding Extreme Gear. He also
wears a ring-like object of unknown origin on his wrist that allows him to
manipulate gravity
Items & weapons:
(1). Jet Anklet
Description: Self made metal jets that go on the ankles of
Tails’ shoes. These provide thrust and allow him to fly farther.
Appearance: Sonic Adventure, Sega Dreamcast, 1999
(2). Rhythm Badge
Description: A green and purple badge with three ribbons that
fastens to Tails’ chest. It let Tails perform the Rapid Tails Attack, in which
he spins around like a top of doom, destroying enemies and even cutting grass.
Appearance: Sonic Adventure, Sega Dreamcast, 1999
(3). Dummy Rings
Description: Fake power rings that Tails uses to either
incapacitate, damage or destroy his enemies when need be. They can be used
separately or as bombs.
In-game debut: Sonic Heroes, Nintendo GameCube, Sony
PlayStation 2/Microsoft Xbox, 2004
(4). The Blacksmith of Camelot Castle, despite
his profession, only wielded a simple slingshot as his weapon. He made up for
its initial weakness by firing small bombs.
Vehicle(s):
(1). The Whirlwind S-7
Description: A yellow formula racer Tails used in the Chaos
Grand Prix racing circuit. It had quite a good cornering ability but was offset
by a low top speed.
Appearance: Sonic Drift, Sega Game Gear, 1994
(2). Sea Fox/Sea Tail
Description: Tails’ personal submarine and arguably his very
first prominent invention of note, as it was created before the boy met Sonic.
The Sea Fox has a wide hull (it’s either angular or curved depending on the
game it is featured in) and blue and orange color scheme and seats one. In
terms of weaponry, it sports a large drill on the front, has a built in rocket
launcher and a choice of upgrades at Tails’ disposal: a rapid fire Vulcan gun,
Mirror Armor for temporary invincibility, a Jet Screw for short leaps, a Rocket
for flight, anti-aircraft missiles, mines, and a powerful electrical field.
Appearance: Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble, Sega Game
Gear, 1994
(1). The Tornado 2
Description: A blue and yellow biplane that is an upgraded version
of Sonic’s Tornado. The Tornado 2 outstrips the original Tornado in terms of
speed as it has a mode in which the plane transforms into a sleeker form with
its four wings resembling an ‘X’ when viewed from the front. Unfortunately due
to oversight on Tails’ part, it has no landing gear in this mode. At first, it
required a Chaos Emerald to be operational. Nowadays, it does not, though its
current power source is unknown.
In-game debut: Sonic Adventure, Sega Dreamcast, 1999
(1). The Tornado III /The Cyclone
Description: A blue and yellow biplane that is an upgraded
version of Sonic's Tornado and the Tornado 2. The Tornado III, like the Tornado
2, utilizes several mode changes ranging from a jet mode, walker mode (known as
the Cyclone), and automobile mode. The Tornado III has quite a few armaments in
Cyclone walker mode, such as a missile blaster that shoots homing missiles upon
successful lock-on with it’s red laser, a pair of hover boosters on it’s ‘feet’
that allow it to hover in walker mode and a Vulcan cannon that shoots missiles
powerful enough to break wooden and metal containers.
Appearance: Sonic Adventure 2, Sega Dreamcast, 2001.
(4). Yellow Tail
Description: An orange and yellow Extreme Gear air board that
Tails used to make it to the finals of the EX World Grand Prix. The Yellow Tail
has a great cornering ability. Tails later rebuilt it from the ground up with
transformable morphing metal.
Appearance: Sonic Riders, Nintendo GameCube/Sony PlayStation
2/Microsoft Xbox, 2006
Personality details:
Ever since he first met Sonic, Tails has always
strived hard to somehow replicate the admirable mannerisms of his best buddy in
blue. Tails is a very loyal, docile and sweet-natured fox with a huge knack for
building or tinkering with machines. His clever mechanical skills rival that of
Eggman's, but Tails never thought of it as such a big deal, thus not realizing
his true potential.
But in the more recent times, he has tried becoming more independent;
just as confident as Sonic when he gets his moment in the spotlight as a hero.
Although he works hard to impress Sonic, his true blue friend already knows
that Tails' awesome gadgets and positive attitude have always been a huge help
for him all this time, as the two have formed an Unbreakable Bond. Tails
eventually came to the conclusion that it was determination he needed, and once
that was realized, it made him quite the motivated little fox. If Tails is set
on a goal, he can accomplish it. And there is absolutely no doubt that such a
gesture impresses Sonic a lot, as the hedgehog never misses an opportunity to compliment, encourage and depend on
his surrogate little brother.
Oh, and don't even think about killing Sonic.
Tails will NOT let you get away it.
Historical biography:
Like Sonic,
Tails' history is just as blurry. Before Tails even met Sonic, the fox resided
on a far south island called Cocoa Island, where his house happened to also be
his workshop where he always spent his time building new things. Later, the
Imperial Battle Kukku invaded Cocoa Island with his army in search of the Chaos
Emeralds that were there at the time, wanting to exploit their infinite powers
to take over the world. Tails managed to stop the Battle Kukku and liberate the
island from his tyranny, but before that, Tails' history is unconfirmed.
It wasn't until a bit later that Tails actually met Sonic at the
mysterious Westside Island, the Island of Illusion. Sonic had landed there
indeliberately as a result of engine problems within his antique biplane, the
Tornado. With little to go on in terms of repairs, he decided to zoom around
his new surroundings. During this time, Tails was walking about, depressed for
some reason and lonely as hell. He was brought out of this by a swift blue
blur, namely Sonic. When Tails recovered from the shock, he, as if by instinct,
quickly took off after this cool newcomer, dead set to keep up as best he
could. After being followed for a while, Sonic noticed he was being watched by
the shy little fox. At first, Tails was hesitant to come out and introduce
himself, but not long after, they became quick friends since Sonic was
impressed by Tails' determination to keep up and follow along. But what Tails
was even more impressed with was Sonic's plane, the Tornado. Moments after
seeing it, he was awed by its appearance and properties. During their
consolidated effort to stop Dr. Robotnik's forces on Westside Island, Tails in
fact, made several improvements to the Tornado to help aid Sonic through his
adventures, assuming co-ownership of the biplane he loved so much.
Since then, Sonic & Tails have
always been a dynamic duo when it came to stopping Eggman's devious plots, a
relationship viewed by Sonic as a delightful brotherly relationship. And Tails
has remained as loyal as can be to Sonic, yearning to be one the hedgehog can
truly rely on. These days, Tails has steadily begun to break free of the (unintentional)
mental stranglehold that Sonic's authority and fame had over him. That
shouldn't be too difficult with his awesome mechanical know-how that has helped
Sonic on frequent occasions.
Personal information:
Greatest friend(s): Sonic the
Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose and Cream the Rabbit & Cheese.
Other friend(s): Big the Cat, Vector
the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon, Charmy Bee, Shadow the Hedgehog, Blaze the
Cat, Silver the Hedgehog (when the guy’s actually friendly), Marine the
Raccoon, Shade the Echidna and Professor Pickle.
Rival(s): Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik
and Wave the Swallow (as far as Extreme Gear is concerned).
Enemy(s): Most of the time, anybody
who is Sonic's enemy is an enemy of Tails' as well; particularly Eggman. Eggman
Nega as well.
Likes: Tinkering with machines,
Christmas, venturing the globe with Sonic, and flying.
Dislikes: If anything, Tails hates boredom
or feeling useless. This is usually why, when he isn’t hanging out with Sonic, he
spends his time working on and/or building machines or flying around the world.
There usually isn't any time you'll be able to see this little fox where he
ISN'T doing something, whether it be recreational or mandatory. He also
dislikes thunder and lightning. Nobody knows why, probably because thunder and
lightning is the pilot's worse nightmare. Having his mechanical skills dissed
pisses him off as well. Finally, he hates being ignored, something Sonic's
apparently done more than once.
Favorite food(s): Mint candy.
Favorite color(s): Unknown. Could be
blue or yellow… or possibly red when considering how much he liked the Tornado.
Occupation: Unemployed. Too young,
anyway.
Place of residence: Unknown. Probably
his workshop he built in the Mystic Ruins/to the west of Water Palace. Or his
house in Emerald Town.
GAME INFORMATION
Franchise name: Miles
"Tails" Prower
Original purpose: Best friend
and/or sidekick of Sonic the Hedgehog; boy genius of the cast.
Current purpose: Hasn't changed.
Date of first promotion/presence in the industry: Tails was first promoted in the first video
game he made an appearance in. And surprisingly, it's not Sonic 2 on the
Genesis/Mega Drive. Tails actually made his first appearance in Sonic the
Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Master System/Game Gear a month before Sonic 2 for the
Genesis was released. He was not playable. People still consider Tails'
official release to be Sonic 2 for the Genesis, which was November 21st, 1992.
Years in service: 18, and still
going…
Impact on series: Tails is a prominent character.
He’s generally appreciated and he and Sonic have made it to many “Best Video
Game Duo” lists together. As of late, however, he’s drawn ire for seeming to be
the start of an irritating and useless cast increase that has yet to cease. Thus, critics would like nothing more than to see him, and everyone who was introduced after him, gone forever.
Original Designer: Yasushi
Yamaguchi
Design process: Tails' design
process was similar to Sonic's, since it went on in the form of a competition between
Sonic Team. Yasushi Yamaguchi's illustration of a young fox with two tails won
the hearts of the team. Tails was actually meant to be named just Tails. But
Yamaguchi managed to sneak the name Miles (the name he gave the fox, and the
name he liked more) into a lot of graphics in the Sonic 2 video game, and in
the end, got things his way as they named the character Miles "Tails"
Prower.
Possible design inspirations: Tails'
most well known design inspiration is what is responsible for some of the most vile-on-the-imagination,
piece-o'-crap fancharacters this fanbase has. And what is that, my friends?
That's right, a Kitsune. A Kitsune is a creature of Japanese lore. It is a fox
with multiple tails, to put it simply. Every century, a Kitsune grows a new tail
to showcase its power and authority. 9 is the maximum a kitsune can get. This
multiple tails issue obviously heeds evidence that this is what inspired Tails'
namesake of a genetic abnormality. Thankfully, Tails did not inherit the other
well-known trait of a kitsune: their penchant for random (and usually cruel)
pranks.
Another possible
design inspiration of Tails is the popular literature excerpt by Isaiah Berlin
written in 1953, The Hedgehog and the Fox. The basis of his essay was an old
Greek philosophical saying, "The Fox knows many things, but the Hedgehog
knows one big thing." The essay is meant to draw a distinction between
thinkers who contribute a number of valuable but unrelated insights, and those
who develop a unified vision or a universal principle. This could be
responsible not only for the fact that they chose Tails' as a FOX, but for
Tails' personality: he is a smart thinker and he knows many things, but is also
known to blabber on about perceptible and particularly unimportant topics, as
opposed to how Sonic usually concentrates on one motive. This second part is
unlikely, but it's just something I thought of.

Personal character analysis/commentary (by Nuclear Envoy):
From his faithful
debut in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to even his most recent in-game appearance,
Tails' hails popularity uncharted in the Sonic fanbase. It has always seemed
that these days, the masses always fall for the cute, innocent, and young
character who looks up to the flagship character. Tails was made to be a
sidekick, and even now he lives up to his purpose.
Albeit, Tails is extremely popular
among the fanbase, he is also extremely hated by those who dislike him:
commonly poked fun at regarding his juvenile personality, and that he is a
walking cliché when it comes to Japanese-made games or anime. And, of course,
let's not forget how he is teased regarding his "questionable
relationship" with Sonic. This of course inspires plenty of nasty yaoi
fanfictions, as Tails is a very common character in those.
But Tails has another side that may
attract fans. He is incredibly loyal to Sonic, and always tries his best to
keep up with The Blue Blur. Such determination sparks a sense of appeal to
those who are optimistic and generally courteous people. They like how Tails
has so much potential, and it exhilarates them that he some day might realize it
and perform some super amazing feat, making him even more admirable (which has
happened repeatedly). Tails' species as a fox is also a big helper as to why he
is so famous since a fox is a very commonly favored animal among people,
especially zoology hustlers.
Tails earned quite a large amount of
positive feedback on his debut. Not only because he was the first additional
character to the original 2-Star cast, but he was a two-tailed fox. That
concept alone made him more interesting than Sonic at the time, let alone that
he was a breath of fresh air. But these days, Tails' admirable personality and
adorable, yet at the same time pretty cool appearance granted him with what is
arguably one the largest fanbases out of any Sonic character. He is slightly
immature, yet very smart, docile, loyal, and almost always in a happy mood. A
very common personality that anime fanboys/girls (which is well over 40% of the
Sonic fanbase consists of) try to replicate, with varying success/failure. This
is, perhaps, why Tails has been bequeathed with such a large fanbase.
