[ - Appearance - ]
Gadget is a Red furred Wolf with Peach Skin and Orange Eyes. He will almost always be wearing a pair of thick black rimmed glasses, which are outfitted with a built in Heads Up Display Module. When there is little going on, he'll often be wearing some simple white gloves and a pair of red sneakers. His casual wear, so to speak. However, when he feels he's needed for help in the field, he will don a military green colored headset with matching colored boots and gloves, as well as a tan three-pouched utility belt held in place by a shoulder strap.[ - History - ]Gadget was born and raised in the bustling city of Metropolis during Robotnik's reign over the world. It seemed like every day he and other kids like him lived in fear of what the next day would bring, at least until news began to spread that a small group that called themselves the Freedom Fighters had done the impossible and defeated the tyrannical doctor.
Almost overnight, things began to change for the better. The United Federation began expanding and taking over the old Robotnik Empire territory, providing peace and security that they'd hoped for for so long. But although their new leaders did much for them, no one could forget the heroic few who dared to oppose and defeat their previous ruler.
So many kids his age wished they could be like Sonic the Hedgehog, the one to finally defeat Robotnik. But Gadget... he wanted to be more like Tails, the hedgehog's best friend and child genius.
For years following he began to tinker with inventions and designs that never really broke any new ground, aside from maybe a wrist mounted grappling hook he'd created. That was until one day he stumbled across a little creature trapped in the remains of a newer Eggman Robot, or Badnik as they were called now. It was a Wisp, a creature from another planet that Sonic had apparently saved from Robotnik, now calling himself Dr. Eggman.
He helped the Red Wisp, which he nicknamed Pyro, and the two became good friends over time. His relationship with the alien Wisp sparked an idea in him. He knew Eggman used the Wisps to power his bots, and that their energy allowed people like Sonic to use special powers that they couldn't otherwise. So he broke out the design book and went to work designing a device that could safely use a Wisp's power for good without hurting the creature.
Pyro was not keen on the project at first, but in time he began to come around to the idea. As word of his idea spread, who would reach out but none other than his idol, Tails. He was impressed by his design, and offered his help. How could he say know? And with the fox's help, the Wispon would be ready in no time...
[ - Personality - ]Gadget is a good natured kid who loves to tinker with new inventions. At first he simply created inventions because he could, but as he got older he began to make new creations that would really help those around him. It's in this part that he really looks up to his Idol, Tails the Fox. His gadgets and gizmos have helped save the world on numerous occasions, and while he didn't expect for his gear to do anything near that level, he still wanted to make a difference in the world.
Having grown up in a city controlled by the Eggman Empire for a majority of his life, he was able to witness his atrocities first hand. Many times he wished he could fight back, but was terrified what would happen to him or his friends and family if he did. Because of this, he can be somewhat timid in a fight if he's alone. However, after the fall of the empire he began to grow a bit more of a backbone, enough that he would stand up for himself and his friends if it came to it.
When it does come to his friends and allies, he treasures all of the connections with them. To an extent, he would do anything for them, put his own life on the line in some cases. He might not be the strongest, or the smartest, but every little bit helps, right?
[ - Equipment - ]Gadget has designed most of his own equipment that he uses. This includes his glasses and radio headset, which pull multiple duties. His Glasses have a built in Heads Up Display and Radio Transmitter. It also serves as a simple translator to communicate with Wisps like Pyro.
He also has a wrist mounted grappling hook, useful for navigating treacherous terrain and getting out of sticky situations. It also tends to be quite useful in combat, allowing him to close the distance very quickly and even become a sort of wrecking ball if he has enough momentum.
His most impressive creation, however, would have to be the Burst Wispon Prototype. Designed by himself and Tails, it utilizes a Wisp's unique Hyper-Go-On Energy to power itself and uses that energy to serve as a self defense combat weapon. The Burst Wispon, powered by a Fire-Element Red Wisp, can shoot a stream of flames and, as Gadget recently discovered, a single fire explosive projectile. It does have a limit to how long it can be active before entering a cooldown state, as to prevent harm from coming to the Wisp powering it.
[ - Powers, Abilities, and Skills - ][Wire Attack]
Using his wrist mounted grappling hook, he fires it at an enemy opponent and quickly retracts, using the intense forward momentum to deliver a devastating blow that can easily break through most standard badniks. With practice, it can be used in quick succession, though leaves him vulnerable while in the air and lining up his shot.
Alternatively, Gadget is able to fire his grapple at a solid surface, using his forward momentum to act as a living wrecking ball to impact an opponent. This often proves less effective than the above, as it uses less momentum and would deal less damage and can be rather circumstantial.
The Grapple itself can be useful for more than a direct attack, able to entangle larger opponents to make them easier targets for heavier fighters and weaponry to deal with.[Burst Wispon]
Using the Burst Wispon with his partner Pyro, he is able to effectively use the device to take down hoards of badniks with haste. With the primary fire, he is able to unleash a stream of fire from the Wispon that can be held for around thirty seconds. Using the secondary fire, he can fire an explosive projectile at mid range once every six seconds for up to five shots. This shot, if fired correctly, can also propel him a short distance into the air for a slight boost.
After constant use for thirty seconds the Wispon enters a cooldown mode to allow the Wisp inside to recover, as any further sustained use puts the Wisp at risk of harm or death. If not in use, the cooldown begins automatically, with a meter synced with his HUD to keep him alerted to the current status of the weapon. The Wispon must have a Wisp inside of it for it to function.[ - Character Notes - ]Gadget is based off the most notable design of the 'Rookie' from Sonic: Forces, albeit with a much more heavily altered background. Rather than being a brand new recruit by the time of the game's events, he has been working for quite some time with at least Tails.
He has no real powers or abilities outside of his equipment, lacking natural super speed or strength. He has been helped by his Wisp friend directly in the past, though he is by no means proficient with that skill whatsoever.
