Charlie

Charlie is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. He is an anthropomorphic animal from the Village on Bygone Island and a former archeologist driven to villainy as a result of Knuckles the Echidna's buffoonery.

Appearance
Charlie is a lanky humanoid animal with green eyes and light blue fur, and is more than a head shorter than Knuckles. He has short cheek tuffs, small round ears on top of his head, and a light peach medium-long muzzle with a black nose. He also has long fur on his head arranged in a comb over and a long tail with a tuff at the tip. His attire consists of a white shirt with pens in its pocket, square black glasses, white gloves, black socks, and beige shoes with black soles.

TV series
Years ago, Charlie worked at a grocer, but got fired due to Knuckles' consistent foolery with the products. He soon found a new job at Mr. Slate's dig site, making himself a good life with his wife.

When Charlie met Knuckles again years later, the echidna wanted to make up for what he did. While Charlie told him not to as he had forgotten it all, Knuckles still did it. However, Knuckles' horrid attempts to help Charlie cost him his job and wife. Driven mad, Charlie swore vengeance. Restoring an ancient mech weapon from the dig site, Charlie began bullying Knuckles with his newfound power until the echidna fought him. Although Charlie was beaten and a (fake) truce was made, he had regained his wife's admiration and given himself a new job as a supervillain.

Personality
Charlie is a mild-mannered guy taking diligent pleasure in his work. At first, he was not much for confrontation, making him unable to stand up for himself, and would not bear long-time grudges. After (temporarily) losing everything though, Charlie literally went mad. Turning to villainy, he became an aggressive, vengeful and unreasonable bully who picks mercilessly on his victims. He became much more assertive as well, having sworn to never let anyone wrong him again. He therefore shows no hesitation to seek strife and even fight dirty.

Powers and abilities
Charlie is a quite efficient archeologist, having unearthed and fully restored a millennium old weapon from the Ancients.

Equipment
Charlie wields a powerful mech suit from the time of the Ancients which he stole from a dig site. This weapon lets him battle on even grounds with the likes of Knuckles. It can also fire energy beams for either immobilizing or blasting opponents.

Knuckles the Echidna
Knuckles the Echidna is Charlie's most hated enemy, being the cause of his greatest losses and the catalyst for his turn to villainy. Although Charlie would show frustrations at Knuckles for what his foolery did to him, he always suppressed his anger. However, after Knuckles ruined his life, Charlie snapped and gained a greater hatred for him than ever. He subsequently became a supervillain and made it his mission to torment Knuckles. Ironically though, Knuckles is who made Charlie start standing up for himself which changed his life for the better.

Charlie's wife
Charlie is very fond of his wife, referring to her as "sweetheart" and "honey," although their relationship is not perfect as they have their arguments. In fact, his wife leaving him was the final straw that pushed Charlie over the brink into villainy. However, Charlie won back her wife by proving his newfound assertiveness after becoming a villain, who in turn fully supported his new career choice with evil glee by faking a truce with Knuckles for him.
