Helloooooo fellow racers, I'm your robotic host Omochao and welcome to the World of Mobius, home to the sport sweeping the nation, Extreme Racing, or EX-Racing for short. Unfortunately, we have a short time slot here on EX-News today, so I, Omochao, will be introducing this year's Grand Prix candidates.
This team has never come short when it comes to the EX-Racing scene, with the raw power of their resident Echidna, the brains of their genius mechanic fox, and the speed of the blue blur, Sonic himself, this team is built for any obstacle and any evil scheme. They've saved the world countless times and don't hold back in the Chili-dog eating contests, Introducing Team Sonic!
Sonic
Speed
The renowned savior of Mobius who’s will of heroism has led him and his friends through the long and ongoing fight against Eggman's machines. Sonic's speed is his ultimate weapon which sometimes makes him overconfident as he assumes he can deal with things on his own. He's a born risk-taker, and not always in favor of following the rules. Be that as it may, he has a firm conviction of justice and a desire to see Dr. Eggman and all others like him stopped.
Knuckles
Power
As the last Mobian Echidna known to inhabit the world, Knuckles takes pride in his role as guardian of the Master Emerald as well as Angel Island. Knuckles is an incredibly strong individual but has proven somewhat gullible over the years, with Dr. Eggman tricking him into fighting Sonic on several occasions. He is hot-tempered and quick to act without thinking, usually choosing violence over a discussion. In the end, he’s loyal to his friends, if not with a little sarcasm here and there.
Tails
Fly - Mechanic
Gifted with the oddity of two tails that allow him to fly, hence his nickname, Tails maintains a steady title of the best flyer and pilot around as well as Sonic’s all-time Sidekick. He is a good-natured, intelligent youth who is fiercely loyal to Sonic and his friends. Though he is at times intimidated by the obstacles he faces as a hero, he continues to press forward with Sonic as his inspiration.
What's that I see on the horizon, not a bird, not a plane, just the sound of wind whooshing by your head as the Babylon Rogues have already passed you. This mysterious band of treasure-seeking thieves are the next generation of an ancient nomadic civilization know as the Babylonians. Their skill on EX-Gear is unrivaled by many and only rivaled by the likes of Team Sonic themselves. They are one of the fastest teams on the gear, introducing Team Babylon!
Jet the Hawk
Speed
Cocky and brash, Jet is very arrogant, prideful, and always seeks riches and fortunes. While also the Babylon Rogues' leader, Jet rarely takes his responsibilities seriously, though he knows how to assert his authority. On numerous occasions he's shown an absolute rivalry with anyone better than him, Sonic included. This can lead to unfair decisions on his part usually in the means of winning by any means necessary.
Storm the Albatross
Power
Storm the Albatross is a hulking, grey albatross and the enforcer of the Babylon Rogues. Strong-armed and simple-minded, he serves as Jet the Hawk's right-hand man and is usually at odds with his intellectually superior teammate, Wave the Swallow, that is until her spot opened up to Neon the Canary. Relying more on his brute strength, Storm is not the most skilled at riding Extreme Gear but is still an adequate flyer while being able to match other physically fit opponents like Knuckles the Echidna.
Neon the Canary
Fly - Mechanic
Beautiful yet rude, how does she do it? Neon the Canary is Team Babylon's newest addition to the team as their EX-Gear specialist, replacing a once confident Wave the Swallow. Her mind isn't exactly all there as she comes off as either crazy, overdramatic, naturally immature, or sometimes a bit seductive. Combined with extroverted nature, she's quick to jump on conclusions and thoughts without a second thought. She has a bone-crushing crush on Jet the Hawk and seeks his attention 24/7. Her necklace seems to a point of interest for most, since it's contents are unknown, not because her breast are like...right there.
This team's formation is rather recent in the scene of Extreme Racing and despite their rookie title, has shown to be potentially one of the best teams to race this season. Although they tend to stick to themselves and decline many of our interviews, we do know that the prestigious Ms. Lucky, owner of one of the biggest Casinos in Mobotropolis, is leading the charge to win this year. A mysterious Jackal who boasts his team will win this year alongside a wealthy arctic fox and a mischevious yet strange blind bat, It seems like the perfect mixture for a trip into the wardrobe. Introducing Team Spade!
Infinite the Jackal
Power
Infinite is an easily tempered Jackal who can lose his cool at the drop of a hat. However, he strives to at least attempt and keep a calm and collected attitude. In the past, Infinite lead his own mercenary group of jackals raiding many facilities and compounds, especially those of the MeteorTech company. However, he lost his rights as a leader when a raid went south and all but him were taken into custody. In his despair, he somehow found his way into the hands of Lucky the Artic Wolf, in which he was admitted to join this new EX-Team.
Lucky the Arctic Wolf
Speed
Lucky the Arctic Wolf is a charismatic and sly Casino Owner, whose experience with the Casino left to her by her father has given her a keen eye for detail and a very unique mastery of sleight of hand and illusions. Her sly and subtle ways of elegant persuasion are geared toward always bettering hers and her teammate's goals. As the boss of a million ring casino, she cannot perform all her tasks on her own and as such, has a strange shadow demon-like butler which follows her instruction without error. Lately, however, she's felt bored with the idea of sitting in her chair and watching hundreds of people losing their rings and soon formed an EX-Racing Team to get some insight on the sport her father had been investing in for so long.
Shadow
Shadow is a butler to Ms. Lucky resembling a strange bunny-like shadow demon, towering in height over most mobians with devilish white eyes and nothing but the silhouette of her bunny ears and long succubus like tail visible. Shadow tends to every command that Lucky requests and takes to it without error or hesitation.
Pryce the Bat
Fly - Mechanic
It is unknown where Pryce grew up, most of his early life a blur for anyone who isn't him and he prefers to keep it that way. He's a bit mischevious, I mean just look at those teeth, and absolutely loves to tease anyone and everyone, especially males as he openly attracted to them. His sight is virtually non-existent and he has compensated by training his other senses to be his eyes for him, such as hearing to get his bearings and being able to sense the aura of individuals with rather strong energy. His unique ability is being able to slightly read thoughts, which requires a lot of concentration to use on even one or two minds effectively. Should he be subject to large crowds or an over stimulant of sounds and smells, he is virtually useless and irritated.
Although the entry was a bit last minute, The Ultimate Life Form Shadow the Hedgehog himself insists that this team has proven that individually, they are quite adept on Extreme Gear. With a warrior from the future, The Ultimate life Form, and surprisingly Ms. Queen Viv herself, a well known musical idol, this team has certainly got the strangest and yet most intimidating factor of most of the rookie teams this season. Introducing Team Chaos!
Silver the Hedgehog
Fly
A Knight of Kronos in-training and gifted with psychokinetic abilities 200 years from a post-apocalyptic alternate future, Silver is driven with a mission to apprehend a suspected traitor among the world of Mobius that caused the destruction of the future. His abilities range from being able to pick up various objects, although size does entail how much effort he needs to exert, and he can even pick up himself as to technically levitate or fly for a short period. As a warrior of a future deprived of hope, Silver has a strong sense of justice and it is this personality trait that motivates him to head back into the past to correct the future. This eagerness, however, coupled with a strong naivety, he often jumps to conclusions and readily believes anything he is told, thus he is prone to manipulation and making poor decisions.
Shadow the Hedgehog
Power - Mechanic
Shadow was created as the "Ultimate Life Form" by Gerald Robotnik, using the DNA of Black Doom, and is the end result of Project Shadow. The reason behind that doesn't reflect his arrogant, determined, and somewhat cold personality as he was to ultimately provide a cure to Gerald's daughter, Maria, but in the end, was deemed deadly to humanity and put into stasis. Awoken by Dr. Eggman, Gerald's grandson, Shadow soon found himself working to destroy the earth but in the end, came to protect it. He now works for the military force known as G.U.N.
Vi the Hedgehog
Speed
Vi is a notable hedgehog pop idol, known among her fans as Queen Vi or Vivzie. However some time ago, she became interested in EX-Racing, even going as far as to promise an entire album to the sport if she were guaranteed a spot on a team, and with the absence of Rouge and Omega, Shadow and Silver were pretty much guaranteed her presence. However, It's obvious that Shadow puts up with her rather easily as her attitude and demeanor do exhibit some traits of Rouge's as she's highly calculated and very flirtatious, strong-willed and won't take no for an answer. She seems to have her own agendas most of the time, which argues exactly what that agenda is.
Last but not least, we have the most recent addition to the line-up, with three characters we never thought we'd see again in the racing scene after the incident some years ago. Still, the two seem to have their mojo but the third seems to have taken to supporting a new arrival in the EX-Racing scene, another dragon by the looks of it and believe it or not, this is his first Grand Prix. Let's the potential holds up for Team Terrilynx!
Nicole the Holo-Lynx
Support
Unlike most computer helpers or support systems or even other A.I that are being currently tested, NICOLE possesses many of the traits of a living being and is fully regarded as such by her friends. She is a compassionate and often too nice individual, who finds herself being more of a mother than anything, especially to Sonic who constantly seeks out trouble. However, she is at times out of touch with this part of herself, reverting to the more logical thought processes of a machine. Originally this sort of behavior was all Nicole was capable of, with logic being the only motivation behind any decision. She runs the entire background system of Metal City, where Sonic and a good portion of his friends reside nowadays.
Wave the Swallow
Mechanic
Having been apart of the Babylon Rouges sometime before, Wave is incredibly intelligent and an equally knowledgable mechanic. Her expertise is so great, that she is capable of making accurate assessments over how various devices of both ancient and modern technology may work, along with their potential strengths and weakness, after just a cursory inspection. Although widely intelligent, her sarcastic and narcissistic attitude makes her a bit of a handful for most, especially Jet. However, she is no longer apart of the rouges for unknown reasons.
Lindsey the Monkey
Speed
With the compassion of an angel and a regal accent to match, not to mention her innate skills as the older sibling of her and Korbin, Lindsey is a ray of sunshine among the team and the most approachable, although she is prone to "bite back" with sass rather easily if angered or offended. Her family has always been lost in the wonder of the EX Racing scene, and this time around, it's her and her sister's turn to make history. She's an avid gymnast and swimmer which would explain her skill in agility, on both the land and in the water. The wetsuit she wears is incredibly tailored to the occasion which allows for easy freeform movement on both the land and in the water.
Spike the Equestrian Dragon
Fly
Like a dream, Spike has been transported to this strange world of anthropomorphic animals and has no choice but to bide his time until he can get home. He usually means well and it does show but it's also obvious that he has a more modern personality to him in the form of sarcasm, friendly insults, and even a bit of mischief.
--Korbin the Cat
Power
This Spunky kitty is what you’d call a charmer. Cute and childish yet just as easily annoying and nerve-wracking, letting little things get to her temper, or laughing at a particularly serious situation. She makes up for this by having the most of everything on the team whether it be charisma, hope, or optimism. Her natural speed and agility are her most notable trait, although having not trained as extensively as Lindsey, she is rather prone to easy clumsy mistakes.
Kindro the Chinese Dragon
Support
Kindro resides from a rather more serious place in the world of Mobius. Unlike everyone who is rather cheery, Kindro is prone to taking things a bit too seriously and backed up by his tremendous amount of pride. If a danger presents itself, he will be the first to step up to the plate in defense, if anyone is harmed, he will be the first to seek vengeance on the assaulter. Despite the temper, he can be rather chill and normal when presented with the opportunity and is only really reeled in by the cheery emotions of his close friends. He is the only person who seems to know what is happening inside Spike in terms of his "Instinct" as Kindro can conjure up the same innate power.
Did you see the sheer coolness leaking off of each and every team, I'm getting overly excited just thinking about they're gonna turn the track into a battleground for first place. Got your pick for who's gonna win this Grand Prix? Then I wanna see you and your entire cast of family and friends cheering on our racers in the coming days. This is Omochao signing off.
