REAL Character Profile

CHARACTER INFORMATION

Name: Chaos' name corresponds to the amount of Chaos Emeralds it has absorbed. In this case (regarding the picture on the left), its name is Chaos Zero: its default form.

Nicknames: The god of Destruction

Race: Elemental water spirit

Gender: Unknown
(Speculation: Chaos not only has the physical qualities of a male, but is also referred to as one on occasion in the games/shows he was shown in.)

Age: Unknown
(Speculation: Chaos is a water elemental spirit. It could've been born at the beginning of time, meaning it could be thousands or millions of years old, depending on your beliefs.)

Date of birth: Unknown

Birthplace: Unknown

Height: Chaos' height is never the same since it can morph into different shapes and sizes. However, the height of Chaos Zero, its default form (as shown in the image on the left), is unknown. It can be speculated at somewhere between 5 or 6 feet all.

Weight: Unknown

Physical techniques: Unknown
(Chaos was playable in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle 2-P mode. Although, it showed physical potential certifiable for a Sonic character, any 2-P mode doesn't exactly contribute to the storyline arc or actual character development. For the record, its abilities in 2-P mode were similar to Knuckles and Rouge; it could do the spinball jump/roll, glide, climb, dig, and use some supernatural powers called the Chaos Impact, Chaos Strike, and Chaos Bind.)

Abilities and aptitude:
(1). Even in its default form, Chaos is extremely powerful. It's very possible that Chaos is even more powerful than Knuckles.
(2). Has complete control over the element of water and can morph into puddles or powerful streams of water, and stretch its limbs to unimaginable lengths and sizes.
(3). Perhaps Chaos' most unique ability is that when given a Chaos Emerald, it grows in size and power, taking on a different shape as well. The more Chaos Emeralds it is fed, the more powerful it gets. Once Chaos receives all seven Chaos Emeralds, it becomes Perfect Chaos. With each Chaos Emerald, the transformation includes a new shape, size, and implements some bone structure inside Chaos' watery physique. Chaos' name also changes accomodating to how many Chaos Emeralds it is fed. Its default form is Chaos 0, which is depicted to the left.

Hobbies and talents: N/A

Weaknesses:
(1). Sluggish and unwieldy when in motion.

Physical Appearance (Chaos 0):
- Chaos' body is made entirely of glowing blue, transparent water, and by default, its shape is generally bulky and buff-chested
- Head has three protrusions: one erected upwards, splitting into two curved "horns" arching downward
- Two protrusions next to its eyes; similar to Amy's quills
- Glowing, vivid green eyes
- Chaos' hands have three long claws, while its feet have two
- Chaos' brain and brain stem are visible through its forehead, otherwise, no other entrails or internal organs show in its default form
Otherwise, Chaos' appearance is always changing, such as if it decides to turn into a glob of water while in combat or a puddle to move more quickly, and especially when it is fed a Chaos Emerald where it begins to grow bones

Attire: N/A

Items & weapons: N/A

Vehicle(s): N/A

Personality details: Chaos' personality is actually hard to figure out. Chaos doesn't talk and so far, the only known way it could communicate was through water ripples to Tikal the Echidna some 3000 years ago. But actions speak louder than words, and Chaos' actions have confirmed the watery beast as a compassionate sentient, believe it or not. Unfortunately, Chaos is recognized mostly with a bad rap because of that whole, 'destroy Station Square in a tsunami of rage and fury,' scenario it pulled off when it transformed into Perfect Chaos. But we all know that was only because it was angered. In actuality, Chaos is very nice and shows the utmost care for the Chao that used to congregate at the Emerald Shrine at Angel Island. That was what Chaos found the most enjoyment out of: protecting them. Overall, the liquid life-form seems to have a warm heart and a compassionate, yet still fairly serious and blunt personality. However, this is not fully confirmed.

Historical biography:

           Chaos, the elemental spirit of water, is very mysterious concerning its origin. How or when it was created are both unknown. Why, however, is perhaps to protect the Chao that would dwell at the Emerald shrine on Angel Island. It has been doing that for as long as anyone could remember. For all we know, Chaos (which, at the time, didn't even have a name) could've been protecting them for thousands of years before the skirmish with Chief Pachacamac ever happened. However, let's fast forward to that part of history, as it was integral to the future of Sonic's world.

           Some 3000 years ago, the Echidna tribe's chief, Pachacamac, strived for power for the people. He was greedy, war-mongering, and unconcerned with his daughter Tikal's endless pleas for him to stop setting such dreadful goals. For comfort, Tikal would often go to the Emerald Shrine to play with the Chao. She also knew that Chaos existed there, which at the time was considered no more than an elemental water spirit. Chaos would communicate through water ripples in the small pool surrounding the shrine. Perhaps the pool WAS Chaos. That is unknown, but what is known is that times were peaceful then, until that one terrible night.

           Accompanied by a rag-tag group of warriors, Chief Pachacamac stormed to the Emerald shrine after sending it up in flames, ready to use the Chaos Emeralds to bring ultimate power to their civilization. Tikal begged them, one last time, to stop. But no avail, as Pachacamac ordered his men to charge forward. In the process, they trampled both Tikal and the Chao. Needless to say, this pissed off the mysterious elemental water spirit. Not only did they trample its only friend, Tikal, but they also stomped out the chao it lived and died by to protect!

           When the men made it to the altar, they were intercepted by the water spirit, who finally revealed its physical form. The echidnas screamed out, thinking it was a monster. They actually weren't far from the truth, since the water spirit absorbed the power of the Chaos Emeralds and morphed into a giant beast of destruction. The entire echidna civilization was wiped out soon enough. But luckily, Tikal managed to recover from her temporary catatonic state and run to the Master Emerald, reciting the ancient spell. The water spirit was then sealed within the mighty green gem. However, Tikal's spirit was trapped inside of it with Chaos' as well, thus bringing forth the demise of the physical Tikal.

           Along with Tikal (until she died that very night), a few other echidnas managed to survive the tragedy. They made it their solemn vow to begin a guardianship of the Master Emerald, making sure the terror within will never be released upon the world again. It was at this time that the 7 all-powerful gems were named the Chaos Emeralds and the mysterious water spirit was named Chaos, the god of destruction.

           Some 3000 years later, a very certain mad scientist with an egg-shaped body comes across some ancient stone tablets that interpret the utter destruction this beast caused. Unfortunately, they also revealed its location inside the Master Emerald. Never one to consider the consequences, Eggman immediately sets out to shatter the Master Emerald, thus freeing the beast within, thinking he could use Chaos to destroy Station Square, and on its ruins mount Eggmanland. It was only a matter of time before Chaos was freed. The Master Emerald shattered to pieces, releasing Chaos and an odd glowing ball of white light, startling the Emerald's current guardian, Knuckles. Awestruck by this new visitor, the echidna immediately attempts to throw a punch. However, Chaos delivers a rough counter attack, sending the echidna flying back. Before Knuckles made it back to the altar, Chaos had escaped.

           Things seemed all fine and dandy for Dr. Eggman, since for awhile, Chaos was on a leash, obeying Eggman's orders to put a stop to a certain meddling hedgehog once and for all. It even reached the point where Eggman managed to give Chaos 6 Chaos Emeralds; just one away from its perfect form, where, let's face it, it would be unstoppable. However, the combined power of Sonic and Knuckles managed to defeat Chaos 6 and thus completely ruin Eggman's plan. It was at this point that Chaos began to go off on its own mission: collect all 7 Chaos Emeralds, become Perfect Chaos, and finish what it had set out to do those thousands of years ago.

           Most unfortunately, Chaos managed to retrieve all 7 of those blasted jewels after awhile. Station Square was its first target. It all happened so fast: water went blasting out of buildings, manhole covers went flying upward as pillars of water streamed out of the sewer lines, giant tsunamis pounded relentlessly against the city that stood no chance. In the aftermath, a building exploded as the water molded into a giant beast of destruction, and it let out a mighty roar. This was none other than Perfect Chaos, and so far, it was accomplishing its ulterior motive.

           Chaos was busy overkilling his demolition job on Station Square, which was now no more than a vast ocean with several buildings and ruins sticking out of the surface of the water. Eggman tried to destroy the beast using a new model of his previous skyship, the Egg Carrier. But a simple energy beam from its gaping mouth managed to put Eggman out of commission. Sonic had arrived on the scene at this point, angered at Chaos' actions. It was also then that the mysterious glowing ball that also escaped from the Master Emerald when it was shattered finally took physical form as Tikal the Echidna. She revealed what Chaos was up to and why. She pressured Sonic to make way to the Master Emerald to seal Chaos away forever. But for Sonic, that wouldn't do!

           Why seal Chaos away again? If it's freed, it would just go off and do this again. But since Chaos had already used the Chaos Emeralds, then they were stuck with no choice. That is until Sonic's friends came back with the 7 Chaos Emeralds that Chaos dispersed out into the city's outer boundaries after depleting them of their energy. However, not the kind of energy Sonic normally uses! Chaos used the negative power of the gems. Once Sonic used the positive power, he morphed into the fathomed Super Sonic, pummeling Chaos into submission, and in the process, neutralizing him. Chaos was finally calmed and was even happier when he found that humans managed to restore the race of chao by raising them with tender, loving care. Both Chaos and Tikal began to rise up in the air and then disappear, returning to the Emerald Shrine to live in peace and tranquility for all eternity. However, if there is a time of great crisis, Chaos never fails to make its presence known.

Rival(s): N/A

Enemy(s): N/A

Likes: Peace & serenity, and protecting the Chao.

Favorite food(s): Doesn't eat.

Favorite color(s): Unknown.

Occupation: None. Even though it's no income occupation, he is guardian of the Chao at the Emerald Shrine.

Place of residence: Before the tragedy with the Echidna tribe, Chaos probably resided at the Emerald Shrine, taking disguise as the small pool that surrounded it. It's also possible that it has returned to its duty of protecting the Chao once more. Either that, or it now congregates inside the Master Emerald to rest. It's not known for sure.

Personal character analysis/commentary (by Nuclear Envoy):

          Out of Tikal and Chaos, this big guy is the much cooler character. Chaos was so cool that he was approved immediately by the higher ups when his concept sketches were shown. Surprisingly, though, he doesn't really have a big fanbase. I know only one person whose favorite character is Chaos out of the many, many Sonic fans I have come in contact with.

          Obviously, one thing Chaos has going against him is the fact that he doesn't talk. When people are older, they generally begin to form an interest in characters whether it be for games, movies, or TV shows, based on their personalities and their development in the series. Since Chaos doesn't talk, it's hard to get to know his personality. You can only judge him based on his actions, which so far have been veritable and not very helpful in regards to figuring out his conduct. Personality is critical and even considering Chaos' absolutely wicked appearance and powers, his lack of a personality blows a hole in him as far as potential in a fanbase goes.

           Luckily, Chaos seems to be sticking around. And out of Tikal and Chaos, Chaos is beyond the shadow of a doubt the much more favorable one to keep since he is original and awesome-looking at the same time. Not to mention, Chaos isn't actually dead like Tikal. References to Chaos have still been made in Sonic games to this day, and he always congregates at the Master Emerald shrine, which means he could just pop up at any time.
