User:Kagimizu/Fou the Phoenix

This is a fan character under the 'ownership' of User:Kagimizu, so please DO NOT delete, or edit at this time

Fou is a young, 8-year-old Phoenix, and best friend and sidekick of Statyx the Hedgehog. He was named after the noise he made when he was a young chick. He is young and somewhat immature, but has a good heart and the mentality of a true G.U.N. agent and close friend.

Previous Life
In his previous life, Fou was a powerful firbird, revered by a tribe, and friend to the tribe king. However, a power-hungry advisor killed the King, and framed the phoenix. Furious, the tribe attempted to hunt down the firebird. Before he could be killed, he reincarnated himself into an egg. However, the tribespeople threw the egg into the sea, where he could not reincarnate. He would spend 700 years in this state...

Reincarnation
700 years after being thrown into the ocean, He was fished out by a relic ship. However, G.U.N. radars picked up on power readings from his egg, and confiscated it from the old fisherman. The egg eventually hatched, giving birth to Fou. It was decided that Statyx would raise and train the young bird.

Early Life
During his early life, Fou was not raised with love or care, but simply as another weapon to be taken care of. This changed when, at the age of 6, he started training with Statyx. While Statyx pushed Fou to his very limits, he always took Fou's feeling into account, and immediately stopped the training if it got too intense. Through these experiences, Fou became almost dependant on Statyx, seeing him as an older brother, and his only friend. This not only affected Fou, however. Statyx, despite still having a cold and calculating demeanor, showed a softer side to Fou, acting as a brother/father to the young phoenix. Fou, despite the care he got from Fou, heard stories of what his teacher was like, and wanted to see Statyx like that again. Fou would get his wish as he and Statyx continued to interact with Sonic &amp; co.

Personality
Bright and Cheery, Fou has the personality of an Optimistic, somewhat naive, and a little scatter-brained 8-year-old. However, he retains some of his wisdom from his past life, often being able to give out surprisingly sage wisdom. He also knows between good and wrong, as well as the consequences of one's actions. He is an incourragable gossip, knowing virtually everything about whatever is going on (even Statyx doesn't know how he gets the info) with the people around him (similiar to Niles from "the Nanny"). Despite all this, Fou does have the mentality of a loyal G.U.N. Soldier, emphasized when he is tied up by Sonic &amp; friends and interrogated (due to Statyx's extremely strange behaviour), and not only refuses to give any information, but has the guts to spit in Rouge and Amy's eyes, and then escapes.

However, Fou does have his shortcomings. Despite being rather mature for his age, he is still a child, and can be rather immature when he doesn't understand something, or someone won't tell him what's going on. He also doesn't know when he insults someone, such as calling Amy "Auntie", though other times he is fully aware of it. He isn't very independant or self-reliant, freezing up or panicing in dangerous situations without support from a friend. Fou is loyal to Statyx to the point of being dependant on Statyx, going to him first for protection, and becoming little more than a timid little bird without Statyx.

Abilities
Fou, despite his young age, is rather powerful. He is a pyrokinetic, able to control fire. He typically uses this by breathing fire, or encloaking his body parts in flame for physical attacks. His flames can also be used as propulsion to increase his speed, though it can only be done for short amounts of time. As a phoenix, he can also fly with great speed and skills (even greater than Tails and Rouge). His by far greatest ability is to completely encloak himself in flame, becoming a giant bird of flames with immense power. Here is a list of his fire attacks:
 * Flamethrower: As the name states, Fou simply breathes a stream of fire.
 * Feather blast: Fou flaps his wings to send feathers like projectiles, which ignite themselves during flight
 * Firestorm: Fou rapidly blasts balls of flame at his opponents, covering a large area
 * Pyro Stream: Fou covers his wings in flame and slices through any obstacle
 * Flame Driver: Fou cloaks himself entirly in flame, then charges at the opponent while spinning like a drill, usually during a dive, drilling through his opponent.
 * Phoenix Cloak: His most powerful move, Fou covers his entire being in a giant flame in the shape of a full-grown phoenix. While it grants him immense power, he 'loses himself', becoming virtually a mindless weapon. The only one who can get him to calm down in this form (and subsequently revert back to his original form) is Statyx.

He also has numerous Phoenixian abilities, though they have yet to mature. Such abilities include his tears healing others, along with putting someone in a hypnotic sleep with a bird-song. He also has the ability to control minds, though this ability has not matured. Because of that, he must have eye-contact when he makes baby-eyes, which cause anyone to comply with his request. The only people immune to this are Statyx, Sonic, Shadow, and Cream.

Weaknesses
One of Fou's obvious weaknesses is water, which, as long as he is submerged, cancels his fire powers. He can also freeze up in serious situations without support. He does not have absolute control over his powers, causing various effects under stress.

Statyx the Hedgehog
Fou sees Statyx as a father/brother figure in his life, because he was the only one to show Fou any true kindness. Fous relationship with Statyx is something of a combination of Sonic and Tails' relationship and Silver and Blazes' relationship (before the events of Sonic '06 were cancelled out). This is because, while Statyx and Fou are best friends, Fou is somewhat dependant on Statyx, freezing up in life-or-death situations, unless he has some form of support from Statyx, atleast until he met Sonic &amp; friends (most notably Cream), who helped him get past his dependancy on Statyx, making the green hedgehog very proud, because Fou "grew up a little".

Cream the Rabbit
Cream and Fou have a very close relationship, equal to what Statyx calls "Kiddy love", much to Fous embarrasment. Despite this, neither denies that they care for each other greatly, shown when Cream was in danger, and Fou was ultimately able to get over his dependancy on Statyx to save Cream. Another sign is that, whenever Cream shows Fou affection (from a hug to a kiss), he molts, much to everyones amusement.

Blaze the Cat
Due to the difference in how their powers worked, Statyx was never able to truly teach Fou how to control and use his pyrokinesis. This caused Sonic &amp; friends to suggest that they contact Blaze, which they did. Fou, like the others, was able to immediately notice Statyx's attraction to Blaze, and later Blaze's affection to Statyx, all the while keeping each others feelings a secret from the other, so they could figure it out themselves ("I may be a gossip, but Statyx is the matchmaker"). This led to a humorous moment when, after Statyx and Blaze became a couple, Fou (whom the two thought would freak out about it, due to being so close to Statyx) said "Finally! I've been sharing info with the two of you for weeks now! I was starting to think it would never happen!" Shocking everyone with his approval of the couple. Fou has a friendly Student/Teacher relationship with Blaze, her being the first one he goes to for advice about 'any girl' (Cream).

Charmy Bee
Charmy Bee is Fou's second closest friend. The two can often be found playing together, sometimes along with Cream. However, the two are considered the two most annoying kids in the world, Statyx and the Chaotix usually dreading play-dates. Despite their annoying behaviour, the two have proven to be a dangerous team-up, even taking on, and beating, opponents of Shadow's calibur together. What's more, the two are able to agree on virtually everything, never arguing a single bit, though there are the occasional pranks, which never cause any real harm

Shadow the Hedgehog
While Fou and Shadow don't talk much, Fou greatly respects the black hedgehog. He sees Shadow as something of an uncle, looking to him for advice when Statyx isn't around. Despite rarely showing it, Shadow cares for the young firebird, finding his personality and status as a G.U.N. agent amusing.

Amy Rose
Fou's relationship with Amy is a bit friendlier than the one Statyx has with Amy. Statyx often calls Amy 'auntie' (though Amy tries to hise it, this obviously gets on her nerves), and goes to her for protection when Statyx isn't around. However, Fou is one of the very few who isn't afraid of Amy. This is due to him being able to hypnotize her with the "Baby-Eyes Maneuver". Even if this doesn't work, Amy's intimadation tactics don't work on Fou, most shown when, while tied up and under interrogation, he has the guts to spit in Amy's eyes when she tries to charm information out of him. However, no matter how much Fou antagonizes Amy (mostly unintentionally), she just can't bring herself to hit him.

Rouge the Bat
Fou doesn't particlarly like Rouge because of her flirty attitude, but because of his young age, he describes it as 'acting wierd'. Due to his young age, he is also 'immune' to her flirtations, and is one of the few characters to be outright rude to her. He also lacks fear of her, shown when, while tied up and being interrogated, he spit in her eyes when she tried to charm information out of him. His lack of fear is not completely justified though, as, unlike Amy, Rouge is completely willing to hurt the little firebird, though because of his flight abilities, she rarely succeeds.

Sunny the Hedgehog
Fou has a friendly relationship with Statyx's younger half-sister. He enjoys here randomness, or as he calls it, "Craziness". However, Fou sometimes seems to think that Sunny is genuinely crazy, saying she has more than one screw loose. Despite this, Fou enjoys watching sparring sessions between Sunny and Statyx, sometimes even eating snacks while watching.

Shelly the Hedgehog
Fou has an interesting relationship with Shelly. While Fou enjoys Shelly's company, and finds her bumbling and somewhat hot-headed attitude enjoyable and funny, Shelly greatly dislikes Fou. The reason behind this is because Fou will often point out short-comings in Shelly or flaws in her plans, after they have already gone wrong. Fou will also almost always refer to Shelly by her 'nickname' Monkey. The reason for this is the fact that Fou is somewhat oblivious, and doesn't understand when he is insulting Shelly or the fact that her nickname Monkey is an insult. It doesn't help that, rather than explain all of this, Shelly would just leave, leaving a still oblivious Fou confused.

Echo the Hedgehog
Fou rather dislikes Echo. The reason behind this is her cold personality, which he finds "droopy". While Echo will usually ignore these insults, Fou has hit a sore spot on more than one occasion, resulting in brief fights. Despite this, Fou will try and help Echo when she is especially depressed, with an average of mixed results.

Tawny the Rabbit
Tawny the Rabbit is a close friend of Fou. The reason is because of Tawny's unbending willingness to protect the flickies of Never Lake, whom Fou can understand and speak to. Because of this, Fou will fight especially hard to help Tawny and the flickies, with the results often surprising even Fou himself. One of these times resulted in Fou even controling himself when using Phoenix Cloak, showing immeasurable power.

Mystic Monkey
Fou doesn't really speak to Mystic, due to Mystic usually sparring with Statyx, or fighting both Statyx and Silver. However, he does speak to Mystic occasionally, although usually calling him by his 'nickname' Rat. This'll usually send Mystic into a rage, resulting in Statyx (or someone else) having to hold the monkey back.

Jezz of Time
Jezz isn't really a close friend of Fou, more like an aquaintence. Fou, being incredibly loyal to Statyx, doesn't like how Jezz claims to have more power than Statyx, and will often get up in Jezz's face on the subject, even when Statyx would just rather let it go. On more than one occasion, this has almost led to fights, but before anything can happen, Statyx will immediately intervene for Fou's sake (though several moments have caused some to wonder who would truly be in danger).

Extreme Gear
Fou's Extreme Gear is called the Red Wing. It looks surprisingly intimidating, most of it being a shade of blood red. It is unique in that when it hits max speed, it leaves a trail of fire, keeping anyone from going into his slipstream. While being a Flight-type Gear, it is surprisingly durable, able to take multiple punishing blows.

Trivia

 * Despite his young age, many moments and characters have alluded to his untapped power.
 * On a side note, shuld his powers ever fully mature, he could potentially become one of the strongest charcters in the series.
