Oh, we're posting statlines? Here's Rouge in Genesys.

>Rouge the Bat (Nemesis)
Government intelligence agent by day, professional thief and treasure hunter by night, Rouge prefers the finer things in life. With a keen mind and eye, martial arts training, and a silver tongue, there's practically nothing that escapes her sight or ambition.

Brawn 2 | Agility 4 | Intellect 3 | Cunning 4 | Willpower 2 | Presence 3
Soak: 2, Wound Threshold: 12, Strain Threshold: 16, Defense: 0/0
Skills: Charm 4, Deception 3, Negotiation 2, Brawl 2, Computers 3, Cool 1, Coordination 3, Perception 3, Skulduggery 4, Stealth 3, Streetwise 3, Vigilance 2, Knowledge 2
Talents: Adversary 2 (upgrade difficulty of all combat checks against this character twice), Natural (once per session, reroll any one Skulduggery or Stealth check).
Abilities: Bat Wings (Rouge can fly and hover unassisted [see Flying sidebar on p.100 in Genesys Core Rulebook]), One Step Ahead (once per round, after an opponent performs an action or maneuver, may spend one Story Point to perform an action or maneuver as an out-of-turn incidental).
Equipment: Bat drone (remote camera that provides a closed audio/visual feed; can only operate within Extreme range of the owner), thieves' tools (when making a Skulduggery check to open a lock or latch or otherwise assist with breaking and entering, add one Advantage to the results), encrypted cell phone.
Motivations:
>Desire: Wealth (noted weak spot for gems and jewels)
>Fear: Humiliation/Expression (she has an image to maintain, and given the stakes in her career, she doesn't want things to fall apart if she fails)
>Strength: Independent (rarely asks for help, and for good reason)
>Flaw: Greed (selfish in the name of acquiring wealth, whether stealing from others or running a casino/night club)

As a high-tier adversary goes, Rouge is well-rounded. She's a silver-tongued scoundrel who can talk, tech, sneak, or (if necessary) fight her way into or out of trouble.';

I love how all these years later people just embrace their Sonic cringe now.

I'm honestly surprised there aren't more homebrews or even an official attempt at a ttrpg from sega considering how loose they are with the IP and how they capitalize on fads.';

'>>92555764
I'm not a Sonic diehard myself, but I can see how they manage. Sonic as an IP refuses to die, no matter how much people fuck it up. It is famously resilient, buoyed by good releases to make up for the bad ones. When your fans learn to laugh at the dumb shit, on top of marking out for the cool shit, they will stick with you forever.

That said, getting Sonic fans into the TTRPG space is not something you see courted often. Translating an IP that builds its entire identity around speed and high-octane action into a more methodical format is a delicate process.';

Apparently, the developers are workshopping a fourth character archetype - the Technique type, a role for supports and other niche cases that don't neatly fit the original trifecta. Exemplars include Sally Acorn, Chris Thorndyke, and Whisper the Wolf.';

'>>92564002
Bringing in IDW influence does not bode well';

'>>92564327
It was described as "while Speed-Flight-Power are the combat powerhouses, Technique will cover everything else."';

'>>92564327
>>92564335
In other words, Technique is for those who want to specialize as the skill monkey or the face, or want to use a relatively non-standard playstyle. While Speed-Flight-Power can dip into support roles in different ways (e.g. Tails is a Flight type with an additional specialty in intellect), the Technique goes all in on what are effectively the non-action skills or are otherwise versatile enough that they can fill any gap in any team and can better accomodate the aforementioned niche playstyle.';

Frankly, I'm surprised I haven't seen a Sonic TTRPG sooner. For a franchise infamous for the number of OCs out there, you'd think people would find a tabletop RPG as an outlet.

For the record, this is the first result when you image search "Sonic OC" on Google.';

'>>92567794
There's quite a few of them, albeit I hadn't heard of the one in the OP when I looked into them for a one shot, but here's some more examples:
>Mobius Prime
Based on Cortex Prime, I went with this one and it went fairly well.
>Rings and Running Shoes
It's a PtbA system, at a glance it looked fine enough. It's the most developped of the bunch.
>two systems generically named "Sonic the Hedgehog TTRPG"
One is an adaptation of the Fantails gamebooks and pretty incomplete, the other is a 24 hour jam thing, pretty good for purely running through zones.';

'>>92578743
Three is a very safe number for a party in any game. 3-5 is typically held up as the perfect party size. Also, like >>92556277 says, this game accomodates 1-6 but strongly prefers 3 to hit the Speed-Flight-Power trio from Sonic Heroes. It's in the name, after all.';

'I'd argue Shadow and Rouge (SA1 and 2 as a whole) did more for the proliferation of Sonic OCs than anything else up to that point. It was okay to make edgelords or sex bombs or anything else, all with more varied powers.';

The real reason that Sonic never dies is because Sammy is using it as image doctoring. It could lose 1000 million yen a year every year, and it would still be kept around because Being "Sega Sammy, the sonic guys" is better than being "Sammy, those fucking assholes who make pachinko machines.';

In the premade adventure built for a three-player team, they had suggestions for the module's boss depending on party size if it's different from the default three.

>If you have more players, add a couple tougher extra minions and increase the boss's HP';

'>>92623122
I think people would understand characters like Coldsteel and their ilk wouldn't really function as PCs. After all, part of the contract as a player is the understanding that your character can and will fail at times, and that mindbreaks the "living avatar of Chaos energy who moves at lightspeed" breed of Sonic OCs.

Now, if your character has made it his lifelong mission to bang the shit out of Rouge the Bat, that's a different matter.';

These rules are a both a bit complicated yet also too much freeform.

They should have put it as:
Power
Speed
Ability

And the Ability archetype should specialize in one thing like swimming, flying or other situational/terrain advantages.

(I actually did make a basic ruleset separating the three main races of pastel pocket horses just like so.)';
