Brief History:
Not much at all is known right now about the mysterious green hedgehog known only as Ashura. In each of his few appearances he has come to challenge Shadow, whom he seems to know quite a bit about and dislikes immensely for someone whom Shadow himself has never met before. Possessed of considerable power and immunity to the Chaos Control, Ashura is a very dangerous opponent with quite a few secrets waiting to be discovered...
Attacks
Rolling Spin: Once Ashura starts running, he can curl down and roll into a battle, moving forward at an impressive speed. This attack is primarily meant for breaking barriers or destroying grounded enemies.
Abilities
Running: Ashura is very fast, though not quite as fast as fellow hedgehogs Sonic and Shadow. His max speed is around 650 miles per hour.
Likes: Sunbathing, getting the drop on his enemies, gloating
Dislikes: Shadow, the Chaos Control
Personality: Malevolent and cocky, Ashura obviously thinks very highly of himself and his abilities, and is unusually challenging, even antagonistic of Shadow the Hedgehog, despite dismissing his abilities as "outdated." Acting one moment like he's the strongest hedgehog on the block, and the next moment like he's got something to prove, Ashura is dangerous and unpredictable. Yet exactly how dangerous he truly is remains to be seen...
Spin Attack: Ashura curls his body into a ball and leaps into the air, spinning around. This is one of the most basic attacks in the book, used by Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, and others, but Ashura's version is slightly different in that he is invulnerable to attack from the front (his black head).
Spin Dash: A staple technique, where Ashura curls himself into a ball on the ground, behins spinning and gathering speed, and finally taking off at super speed. Ashura's spin dash is less powerful than Sonic's or Shadow's, but different in that he can use the attack as a fake-out manuever by 'phasing out,' leaving a green shadow while he spins to safety.
Homing Attack: Ashura curls himself into a ball and jumps into the air, as he would with a Spin Attack. At his peak, his body flares black energy, and he launches his still-spinning form at the closest enemy. This attack can be performed multiple times in succession.
Arm Deflect: Ashura can use his metal arm to deflect bullets, lasers, and even certain special attacks.
Chaos Warp: While Ashura does not appear to be able to use the Chaos Control, he has his own method of teleportation. The Chaos Vanish causes him to fade out of view quickly, before rematerializing in the place of his choosing. Although to the casual observer the Chaos Vanish would simply be an example of speed, in truth Ashura does not move at all (in fact, in terms of speed he is slower than both Sonic the Hedgehog and his counterpart Shadow).
Black Shell: Ashura raises his hands and shouts, summoning a sphere of black energy which surrounds him. While encased in the sphere Ashura is invulnerable to all but the strongest attacks, and is capable of launching himself at his opponent and even using the shield to gain temporary flight abilities! The shield only lasts for a short time, and summoning it repeatedly is taxing.
Chaos Tide: Spreading his arms out, Ashura summons four large glowing green orbs: two beside his shoulders and two beside his knees. Crossing his arms over his chest, the four orbs become four devastatingly powerful beams that fire as one upon his hapless opponent.
Chaos Rain: Ashura's most powerful attack, he shouts and slams his palm onto the ground, summoning a shower of green bolts of chaos energy to rain down from the sky around him. He cannot perform this attack without a Chaos Emerald in his possession.
Athlete: Ashura is every bit as athletically inclined as Shadow: he was able to outmanuever the entire Chaotix crew with relative ease, and easily keep pace with Shadow in a high-speed battle on the Egg Carrier.
Relatives: None revealed
