 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 (In the video game Tails Adventure, the storyline is portrayed on Cocoa Island, an island Tails resided on BEFORE he met Sonic. It's possible that Cocoa Island is his birthplace. However, Sonic met Tails at Westside Island. So it is one of these two places. Cocoa Island is the most logical alternative since Tails was living there before he met Sonic.)
Height: 80 centimeters (2 feet and 6 inches) Weight: 20 kilograms (44 pounds) Ability Type: Flight Alignment: Hero 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.
(5). Can read and translate Binary and Hexadecimal language. 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.
