Abilities: Vestige is capable of two basic elements/styles. He is capable of using darkness, which he calls "Night's Fury". He is capable of using light, which he calls "Saint's Fall." Vestige also has a special ability that is entitled specifically to him, this ability is called "The Power Of Feelings". Vestige has no real control over "The Power Of Feelings" since it all depends on his emotions. "The Power Of Feelings" allows Vestige to manifest his emotions into a power, a visible power giving him three different forms, however he cannot control which form he goes into he is only capable of controlling one for when he is in a neutral state. The form Vestige takes when in a "Neutral" state is the form he calls "White Chaos" when becoming "White Chaos" Vestige becomes a purely white hedgehog with his hair spiking up vertically, his neon blue streaks in his hair become black along with the spikes on his back, his eyes become red with white lines appearing as terminals leading to his pupils, and as for his bang it becomes purely black as well. In "White Chaos" form Vestige has complete balance between light and darkness increasing each ability ten to a hundred times the original power of his light, dark, based attacks. "White Chaos" balances speed and power to have them equal just as his light and darkness abilities are kept on equal levels. When Vestige is overcome with hatred he becomes a midnight black hedgehog with golden eyes. He calls this nightmarish form "Bearer Of Hatred". In this form Vestige's spikes are outlined with neon red streaks, his hair spikes up similarly to his "White Chaos" form but has more spikes than it. When in the "Bearer Of Hatred" Vestige releases a manifestation of his hatred into the form of a massive, light blue, ghostly battle spirit that takes the shape of a demon. The demon has four arms, razor claws on each, a torso that extends to where it appears the beast is towering over him over him, the beast has a head and facial structure shaped like the structure of a dragons'. The demon isn't controlled, just as Vestige isn't within this form. The demon only responds to Vestige's anger and desire to crush his foes, the demon will defend its hoist however its presences drains life force from Vestige. The longer the demon is manifested, the more life force Vestige loses which could possibly kill him if he uses it for too long of a period. When in the "Bearer Of Hatred" Vestige's light abilities drastically deplete to near zero making him vulnerable to light based attacks, however his dark based attacks are amplified a hundred times more than his "White Chaos" form. His physical strength is greatly amplified as well in the "Bearer Of Hatred" state since that form is focused mainly on power. Vestige has one last form he cannot control, he can only access this form when filled with positive energy from within himself such as determination for example, and that form is "The Celestial Being". When in this form, Vestige becomes a golden hedgehog with white streaks outlining his hairline. The bang that hangs over his left eye becomes purely white, his eyes then become a midnight blue with black terminals leading to his pupils, his hair also spikes up to a similar style to his "Bearer Of Hatred Form" however, the spikes are thicker. Vestige's manifestation in this form are wings, but not any ordinary wings. These wings are wings of pure energy sprouting from his back, where his spikes reside on his shoulder blades. The wings of pure energy rage out from him constantly. The wings are blue beams of energy, forming into wings with spiking energy along the edges, with streams of neon greens, blues, purples, and reds cascading all together within the green of the wings. As Vestige flies with these wings, he release small specs of green particles that radiate with illuminating light. Vestige may appear to be gorgeous within this form, however he becomes excessively aggressive and quite cocky. Vestige's light capabilities increase drastically within "The Celestial Being" form, however his dark capabilities become a near zero leaving him vulnerable to dark attacks. While in "The Celestial Being" Vestige's speed increase drastically since this form focuses on swift, quick, movements.

Skills: Vestige has a natural born talent as a swordsmen. Vestige is capable of swinging his massive sword single handed without issue. Usually, Vestige wields his sword single handed. He usually doesn't wield his sword with both hands unless he desires to completely overpower his foe. Since battle appears to be his second nature, he is well versed in different forms of combat and can adapt to his surrounding due to his battle type which is pure "Instinct". He is also able to alternate between his styles of single sword fighting and duel wielding or uniting both into a single style of fighting which he calls "Dance Of The God Slayer". Vestige is also able to infuse his elemental abilities through his weaponry.

Weapons: Vestige has a massive buster like sword mounted to his back. The sword has a sword guard shaped like the head of a silver dragon with a broad sword's blade protruding from the mouth of the dragon, for wielding purposes the sword has a black rectangular hilt with streaks of hold along the base of the hilt. The sword is known as "Gandora". Mounted to the back his waistline, Vestige has two physical, twin cyber swords that length over seven feet in length and four to five inches in width that he duel wields. The swords have blue beams along the cutting edges of the swords, capable of cleanly cutting through even the thickest of material. These swords are capable of being joint at the hilts for a dual-blade sword. The swords appear as two single sided swords with a triangular sword guard connected to a black cylinder like hilt that is closed in by an outer rectangular holster to protect the user from the beams along the cutting edge of the swords. these swords are titled as "Prototypes v2 Blades of Ragnarok".

Gandora:
A sacred blade said to have the power to pierce through the heavens, cutting through the border between all that is sacred and all that is profane. However, to use this power it is said that the wielder must connect with the blade's spirit and considering Gandora likes to talk while Vestige only desires him to shut up, the chances of him unleashing such a power is slime to none.

Prototypes v2 Blades Of Ragnarok:
Twin cyber swords that length over seven feet in length and four to five inches in width that he duel wields. The swords have blue beams along the cutting edges of the swords, capable of cleanly cutting through even the thickest of material. These swords are capable of being joint at the hilts for a dual-blade sword. The swords appear as two single sided swords with a triangular sword guard connected to a black cylinder like hilt that is closed in by an outer rectangular holster to protect the user from the beams along the cutting edge of the swords.

Positive Relationships: In his past, specially the time where the Romans rein supreme, Vestige had met a wounded soldier who was left for dead by his said comrades. Vestige had healed the soldier, his name had been Anix Crusada, and Anix claimed to be forever in Vestige's debt. Vestige was isolated from humanity for many centuries until the beings from Mobius began to descend to earth, which consisted of walking, talking animal like beings such as himself. He felt comfortable exploring these places where more humans resided, he ended meeting a young adult who had the same face as Anix the soldier he met long ago. The young adult had recognized Vestige from the stories his father told him, the story of Vestige saving the young man's ancestor had been passed down through generations. Vestige then found that Anix  had repaid his debt, even if it were centuries after the debt was made it was soon repaid by Anix's descendant, Nelson Crusada, who allowed Vestige to take refuge in his home.
Negative relationships: Vestige only has a negative relationship with the god, Chaos, that banished him from the sacred world and cursed him to roam the earth for an eternity.

Vestige The Accursed Hedgehog's Story


Beyond Earth resides a world where all supernatural beings, mystical creatures, and even gods reside in. This world is considered "The World Of The Sacred" a place where only beings born into this world could access to. In this world, a council of powerful beings known as gods ruled over their world and monitored Earth along with its inhabitants, but there were creatures even above the gods known as Celestial Beings. Divine creatures said to be pure of heart and had the ability to reform the entire world with a single breathe, their existence balances everything while their children, the gods keep the worlds they have created under control. Each god had an adviser of their own who spoke on behalf of the god and tells the council of that god's desire to present to the council. At the time, Vestige was named Dante and he happened to be the adviser to the "God Of Destruction, Chaos". Dante was well respected as a Chaos' representative, Dante was not only reasonable and able to speak his God's will clearly but also he was cherished for his strength given to him at birth by a Celestial Being. The Celestial Being saw Dante as a pure of heart being who could use this power to bring order to both worlds. This power had been known as "The Power Of Feelings." The being entrusted this power to him when he was born. The being left only this statement "The day will come when he unleashes his golden heart to become a Celestial Being like us." However..the beings hadn't considered it could be just as much of a curse than a blessing.  One day Chaos ,who was greatly dissatisfied with the humans behavior, had grew very frustrated with the fact the humans hadn't praised the gods, specifically him, for all that they had done for them. Outraged by the humans disrespect he desired to rid the world of humans entirely and told Dante to have this presented to the council as him stating the humans and all the damage they have caused to the planet to cloak his true reason behind lies. However, Dante couldn't present such lies since, at the time, he was quite fond of the humans and how much light could be seen within the human heart. Dante stood before the council saying how mankind only taints the Earth, with Chaos seated in back of him, Dante began to speak Chaos' desire to wipe out humanity. Dante spoke as a loyal subject, Chaos grinned from being pleased but that grin had soon faded for when Dante exclaimed "That isn't the real reason!" Dante had exclaimed, "Chaos only is furious that the humans haven't thanked him for not causing natural disasters! That is the reason he desires to wipe humanity out of existence." When saying his Chaos had brought himself to a stand in a fury, in a great uproar, "You would speak against your god in front of the entire council?! How dare you shame me so!" Chaos replied to Dante's said treason, but Dante turned to the council begging on the human's behalf "These people may make mistakes, they were created imperfect, but they have something we do not and that is a heart that can bring about love. The light within a human heart can illuminate any darkness, you cannot just rub out this light!" As Dante spoke many other of the council's participants had began to nod in agreement seeing his point causing Chaos to feel cornered, the thought alone of his lowly adviser taking control of the meeting angered him so much that he had ended up bringing up the rules of the council. "If an adviser speaks against his or her gods' wishes! He or she must be punished!" The council had all agreed to this rule being true since it was law, Chaos feeling victorious had directed his gaze to Dante "You shall be banished from this world to live out your days among the humans. You will be striped of all of your sacred powers! I curse you, Dante! Live as the most pathetic creature I can imagine!" and in a mere instant, Dante had perished only to be reborn within a vessel, a vessel the form of a hedgehog...the first to ever to exist. Dante had been descended to the Earth's hollow grounds, a mere wasteland it was since humanity hadn't expanded just yet..Dante was then labeled as "Dante The Accursed" his name was shamed through out the sacred world, spoken of as if he were scum, but the Celestial Beings hadn't changed their opinion of Dante. Chaos may have striped him of all his sacred powers but hadn't taken away his "Power Of Feelings" since he couldn't due to the power being granted by the "Celestial Beings." However, this power had grew corrupted...Dante had began to bear hatred towards the gods who banished him to live out his days as a hedgehog, to live out an eternity in this world unless he was killed by someone of this world, this had made Dante only welcome death. As Dante's hatred grew and grew, the power he was blessed with or cursed with had become tainted..Dante had felt another persona in a sense within his being, he felt another presence, but at the time there was no one there..humanity's creation was still in the making. Dante had roamed the Earth for centuries, decade after decade, generation after generation, he saw many things since his banishment. He saw the world form from the ground up, he watched as humanity prospered and he couldn't help but take notice to the intelligence of humanity. "Such resourceful creatures.." he would always think with every passing generation. Until the day finally came where Dante saw the evil within the human hearts..manifested into a thing they called "War." Dante's eyes reflected all the blood shed, all the falling men, all the broken families with his own two eyes..he saw how ruthless humans could be..he soon began to hate them conjuring these thoughts "H-How can they do this..? Where is the light I risked my own life to prove existed?! I had myself cursed to live eternally on a battlefield?! This is not the world I wanted to see form!" Dante's hatred grew towards humanity..the world was even becoming unsafe for him to reside in. The day finally came where Dante came across a battle..a battle between British soldiers and Roman invaders. The battle was fierce, the Earth stained with with crimson, as droplets of red would constantly rain down leaving only pools of blood. The sounds of agony, metal clashing, flesh being torn is all Dante could hear..the sight was so horrifying Dante couldn't bear to stand, he had fallen to his knees before uttering to himself "There is no light within the human heart.." Dante had said as the battle had reached its resolution. Once the land had no longer echoed the sounds of carnage..Dante's ears perked up to a groan of pain, a near cry as the man called for "Help" Dante did answer the call, however he was so disgusted by the humans at this point he had intended on helping the man by putting an end to his misery by killing him..Dante advanced towards the fallen soldier who, he himself, was surrounded by bodies of men he had slain. Dante had reared his hand above his head, his fingers set directly along side one another to where his hand appeared to be in the formation of a blade, the soldier only begged to be spared and right as soon as Dante was going to end the soldier's life the soldier said "P-Please..I just want to see my daughter." Dante's eyes had then widened, the man's feelings flowed through out his body allowing Dante to feel the soldier's sincerity, Dante had dropped to his knees once more to hover over the dying soldier. His hand soon dropped, "The Power Of Feelings" had began to resonate with Dante's emotions, Dante felt..hope for humanity after meeting this soldier. In response to this hope, Dante had then began to radiate with a golden aura that ended up blinding the man for a brief instant and then suddenly, a warmth came over him..the soldier no longer felt any pain, he felt more alive than ever before. The soldier then arose so that he may face his savior and to ask this creature "Your name..may I ask it?" Dante hadn't felt obligated to say, but did so anyway, "My name is Dan-" in the mitts of his introduction Dante had lowered his head in shame since he no longer felt that name was suiting for him since Dante was a spiritual being..not some animal, "Vestige, my name is Vestige." He said finally, he called himself Vestige since the word meant something that were disappearing or no longer exist. He felt he truly didn't exist since he was no longer himself, the soldier then said to Vestige "I am known as Anix Crusada, I am forever in your debt, Mythical Creature and shall return the favor someday" Anix stated finally before he had taken his leave. Vestige had then left the battlefield, little did he know that Anix were about to tell all of his tale and Vestige's existence..Months after their meeting, Vestige had been drifting from part to part when he had ran into.."A sword..?" He had to of questioned the swords origin. The blade appeared to be impaled into the ground, an odd looking one at that. The sword had a sword guard in the shape of a  silver dragons' head with the blade of a broadsword protruding out from the dragons mouth with a black rectangular hilt mounted to the bottom of the sword guard. Vestige felt..drawn to the blade for some reason, he was not sure why but he found himself advancing toward it. Little did he know, this sword had been left by him by the Celestial Beings who adored him for his actions, saving that one human they were willing to give him the blade spoken of in runes in the Sacred world. The blade known as "Gandora, The Piercer Of Heaven." Vestige instantly recognized the blade and pulled it from ground "Is this a sign..?" He questioned when suddenly the blade had began to speak "Ah, you must be Dante I presume?" The blade asked, Vestige had instantly reacted by dropping the sword out of utter shock. Gandora then exclaimed "Okay, we're not getting off to a great start!" Vestige's eyes instantly narrowed, he slumped over, something about this sword already annoyed him. "Forgive me, please.." he said as he picked the sword back up. Vestige had become less social due to his isolation, he was becoming a more silent being, which didn't work with Gandora at all. "What is your problem?" Gandora asked but Vestige didn't have time to respond , his ears perked up to the sounds of metal clanking and the sounds of voices carrying through out the area "Look! The creature Anix spoke of!" one man cried as Vestige turned to face an army of a hundred men, his eyelids had began to dim for when he processed what the man had said..any words after the fact Vestige paid no attention to. The soldier leading the army called out to Vestige "You, beast! If you do not desire to be skinned you shall come with us..we could use a pet with uses such as yours!" The soldiers had all readied their weapons, but Vestige had only one thing to say to them.."Did you say Anix..?" Vestige questioned with his tone filled with hostility the leader said "That is corre-!" Before he could finish the sentence he was impaled by Vestige..he had thrown Gandora directly into the abdomen of the soldier while Gandora complained "Oh, lovely! Throw me inside the man!" Vestige dashed forward to pull blade from out of the Captain and went on to slaughtering the rest of the soldiers who came. Vestige felt betrayed..even as he cut down soldiers one by one, he couldn't help but feel his trust betrayed. Vestige then grew to despise humanity more..to the point where he believed humans brought darkness upon this world. "I cannot allow this world to remain like this..I have the power to change this world!" Vestige had exclaimed as his right eye had a blotch of blood underneath it. As time went on, Vestige watched as humanity prospered..he despised it knowing the darkness lurking around the world still lingered about. Cities were forming, technology taking over the world it seems, Vestige had been around for over a thousand years at this point..he still did not associate himself with humans, although he could live amongst them, walk casually out in the daylight due to a sudden even leading to..other walking and talking creatures appearing in this world along with Vestige. Vestige had met none of these creatures, but he knew of their existence especially paying attention to the blue creature that resembled himself in some ways..Vestige then asked himself "What is he? Is he like me..?" He would only see this blue creature on news feeds on monitors, small black boxes in the glass windows of stores, as he passed from city to city with Gandora mounted to his back. Vestige had always been in search of a source..a source to the darkness he knew lingered about still and for a moment, he believe he had! A young adult male was being taken to a darkened ally by two large men in dark clothing, Vestige did not hesitate to give chase while drawing Gandora. The men appeared to be harming the young man, but they were soon stopped dead in their tracks as a white slash crossed both of their torsos leaving their bodies lifeless as they dropped. Vestige stood before the bruised individual who had his back brushed up against a wall, breathing heavily, with an eye swollen. "Y-You saved me..." said the young man, but Vestige hadn't replied he had turned away from the young man to be on his way. For some reason, the young man gave chase after him asking "Hey! Could you at least tell me your name?" At that moment Vestige had come to a halt..he had grew silent, remembering the day he was first asked for his name. The thought of his betrayal in the past angered him so much to the point where he were about to swing Gandora as he turned to face the young man..he stopped again only to see Anix's reflection, at first he saw the young man wearing roman armor due to his mental picturing which led him into uttering the name of that soldier out of confusion "Anix...?" The young man had raised an eyebrow to the hedgehogs reaction he then replied "No,no, I am Nelson but if you're talking about Anix Crusada then you must be referring to.." The man paused within mid-sentence before slowly continuing "My Ancestor...are you the Hedgehog that my father told me stories of when I was a kid, Vestige..?" Vestige had become silent since he did not want to speak, that and also because he didn't know what a hedgehog was, however Gandora on the other hand desired to speak for him "The one and only!" Vestige had to of growled at Gandora and Gandora replied "What? Just because you won't talk I can't?" He said causing the young man to laugh as he then made Vestige an offer, "You know, if you don't have place to stay you can always stay with my wife and I? It isn't the biggest place in the world..but it's the best I can give to my family's savior." Vestige had grew silent for several moments and spoke in a fury "I should have let you die! Then Anix's legacy would die along with you!" He said with his teeth gritted, but Nelson hadn't wavered he offered again saying "It's the least I can do for my family's savior, my Ancestor only wanted to repay you..he never got the chance and I want to do it for him." Vestige had a similar sensation..similar to the one he felt on the faithful day he met Anix, pure sincerity. It had taken a while to adjust to the idea, but in the end Vestige agreed to live out his days as a guest. He learned about many things such as clothes, t.v, sports and even about household utensils which he never used since he refused to eat a lot of food Nelson's wife Angela prepared for him. Vestige would always sit himself in front of the t.v, always watching the news since it allowed him to see all that was going on in the world from his new home. All he saw was breakouts of war, daily reports of crime, and some round fat man always blabbering about these gems called the "Chaos Emeralds". Vestige then knew what he had to do, not all humanity was evil but it was tainted by sources of the darkness, all he had to do was to cut out every shred of darkness to shatter the darkened shell that enveloped the Earth to allow the light to peer out from the cracks. Vestige then began to preform interventions within warfare, he didn't care by which nation he was bent on eradicating all that instigated darkness. Vestige brought serious attention to himself with every intervention, he was considered a national terrorist, so he had to go into hiding to avoid another battle which could lead to his death since armies these days use long range weaponry..Vestige questioned what they were and Nelson told him what guns were. Vestige then demanded these "guns" to help regulate his battling, but Nelson said he couldn't do that with the money he has. Vestige then took it upon himself to acquire these "guns" and took off into the dead of night to infiltrate a "G.U.N" Military base positioned outside the coast. With his speed, he was in and out within minutes. Vestige had originally planned on stealing two guns, but while he explored the weapons arsenal Vestige's eyes had come across two physical, cyber, swords with beams along the cutting edge of these massive swords. They were titled as "Prototype v2 Blades Of Ragnarok " Vestige had stolen these twin blades instead of the long-range weaponry he had originally set out to obtain. That following night, Nelson had awaited for Vestige's return knowing what Vestige had done since an emergency report came on the news talking about how the military based was infiltrated and robbed. Vestige stood there confused on why he was getting such a scowl from Nelson, Nelson then exclaimed "What in the heck were you thinking?! The news is filled with reports saying the military base was infiltrated by a hedgehog!" Vestige's only response had been "A hedgehog..? Is that what humans call beings such as I? Interesting.." Nelson grew even more infuriated when Vestige hadn't seemed to be taking this seriously since he did not desire Vestige to be killed "What do you plan on doing, huh?! What is your goal in all of these crazy acts of yours?! Vestige then took his time to form his response, his words then escape from his lips naturally speaking of his goals "To cast away all the darkness..whether it is a person, creature, or even a god I will slay them all! That is my battle!". And to this day Vestige still battles the darkness that envelops the world.
