Name: James Sinclair (goes by Slash or Slasher because he thinks James sounds too formal. Nickname was given by others because of the technique he had when he fenced.)

Age: 19

Personality: Similar to Sonic. Kind-hearted, nice, loves competition, always willing to help, puts others before himself, VERY optimistic, slightly cocky but somewhat modest at times

Pros: Impressive swordsman skills, speed that rivals that of both Sonic and Shadow, lightning fast reflexes, skilled at hand to hand combat, can act as a mythical emerald radar (for roughly 50 miles, though if he has his sword this is extended to 100. Range also increases by 25 for each emerald he has.), great in both a crisis and improvisation, and can activate a super form when he has 7 or more of the mythical emeralds (can be a mix of Chaos Emeralds, Super Emeralds, and/or Sol-Emeralds (more emeralds=more power). His super form when using only a random collection of seven emeralds is much weaker than Super Sonic/Shadow/Silver or Burning Blaze, though as the number grows he can become equivalent to them and even surpass them. The power of his super form also gets a great boost when all seven of one emerald group are in the collection

Cons: A terrible shot, easily vulnerable in ranged combat, terrible with mechanics, often rushes into problems without thinking, and if a mythical emerald is shattered (any of them, especially the Master Emerald), it causes him great pain to be anywhere near one of the shards.

Weapons: standard katana forged with platinum and chaos energy, making it indestructible.

History: About the time he turned 18, he returned home from a fencing match only to find both of his parents dead, and the silhouette of who he believed to be the murderer leaping out of the window. After Slasher caught up to the mystery man, he was attacked without warning nor reason and forced to keep his distance due to the silhouette's excellence at both ranged and hand to hand combat. After fighting for what felt like hours, the mystery man prepared a bomb with enough power to blow away the entire town, too heavy to budge, and a timer with just enough time for Slasher to evacuate the town. After warning the town and helping them to escape, Slasher ran back to get his parent's corpses so that he may give them a proper burial, only to find that the mystery man had gotten them for an unknown reason. Slasher decided to try to get them back but was stopped by another, this time female, silhouette who kept him busy just long enough to ensure that he would not be able to get out of the blast range. Months later, he awoke in a rugged shack, empty except for himself, the straw bed that he lay on, and a strange katana which emanated with a small amount of chaos energy, with no memory other than that one night. After living in the shack for weeks, he realized that no one was returning and left the shack with two goals in life, to find and kill those who destroyed his home and killed his parents, and to discover who had taken him to that shack and why they abandoned him.
