Ashige The Dog - FC Reference Sheet

The third Sonic Fan-Character of mine, and perhaps the last one of mine who is a good guy (I do have some stuff for some villainous ones in mind, such as a few new Eggman Robots and such others). This Dog character, Ashige, is unique, in that he isn't actually one being, but two creatures fused together as one. He is going to also be the one who takes care of another Sonic Character of mine, Polyphemus the Prototype Gizoid.

I had a hard time finishing this guy. I went through a lot of sketches to make his appearance just right, and a lot of revisions to his overall bio. Overall though, I like how he turned out. His overall concept of a Dog fused with one of the Psychic/Energy Manipulating Aliens known as the Voxai was rather unique, but would be difficult to implement just right. Originally I was going to make him a wolf, but after some suggestions from my friends, I thought that it would be better for him to be a dog, as to make a sort of Love/Hate relationship with my other one, Bella The Cat. I put a whole lot of effort into the special effects of his attacks, to make them more Voxai-like.

Expect to see more of Ashige and Himerope in future artworks of mine too. I'm using him as well as my others, Bella, and Polyphemus, in an RP on another Sonic Website too. I'm also working on drawing out scenes from his origin story, about how he became fused with Himerope, and how he meets up with Polyphemus. Those parts are better shown that way.

Sorry for the long description, there is just so much to tell about him
Also, be sure to look at the reference sheet on Himerope, the Voxai integrated into his body, so that you understand them better. -->   hexidextrous.deviantart.com/ar…


Name: Ashige

Age: 19

Species: Dog

Affiliation: Good

Personality: Ashige was originally a dog who lived around Station Square and is very reserved. He also is a bit cold in personality, and can be a bit rude to others at times, but still is overall not a bad person. 

Ashige works a career as a stunt racer, driving on various obstacle-filled tracks, especially , and although he isn't exactly a champion racer, he had won enough races to become very well-renowned by others. When not racing, he likes to spend his time parkour running across station square. He enjoys this recreational activity and thinks of large cities as his playground for that. He isn't exactly a complete tech expert (he's nowhere near as tech-savvy as characters such as Tails), but he has some skills with it, knowing how to repair and perform maintenance on his own racer by himself and design stuff such as a parkour grapple on his own.

After the event that led to him becoming permanently merged with the Voxai, Himerope, his life changed greatly. Although Ashige is mostly reserved and cold, he greatly cares about Himerope, not only because Himerope is now pretty much a part of his body and the two have to depend on each other to survive, but since the two now constantly see into each other's minds, he knows everything that Himerope has been through, and feels really sorry for the poor Voxai, who has been through quite a lot. He now eats a bit more and can appear as sort of a glutton, but this is mostly because he now has to support both his needs and Himerope's needs. Ashige doesn't usually let others know about his state with Himerope, except with close friends. When around people who know about his condition, he refers to himself as "we" or "us" rather than "me," in respect to Himerope.

His name, "Ashige" is Japanese for "Dappled Gray." It describes his color scheme.


Overview: Ashige had a mostly great life with a lot of excitement and action. His career was in stunt racing, and when not racing or preparing for a race, he loved to run the buildings of Station Square. However, one day that he did not predict, his self and his life would be changed forever.

Basically, Ashige was hanging out in Station Square that night. He then scales a tall building using a custom-made parkour grapple, and found this to be a great place to view the sky. However, he did not expect what would happen then. While on top of the building, he heard a voice in his mind, from a otherworldly creature that had just made it to Earth. Ashige was startled by this, since no one but him was on top the building at the time, and he could not see who had just said that.

Ashige would not recall exactly what happened next, but suddenly, this otherworldly visitor, Himerope the Voxai, collided with him. This would've meant the death of them both, but due to Himerope's abilities neither of them died from that. Instead, a strange anomaly occurred. The two of them merged together and became one. As they did, all of Himerope's memories flashed across Ashige's mind and all of Ashige's memories flashed across Himerope's, followed by them both going unconscious. Once he regained consciousness, he found himself now with Himerope as part of his body, and Himerope's Energy Manipulation and Psychokinesis abilities were now his to control.

Ashige's finds his new abilities that he gained to be both a good thing and a bad thing. It's a good thing for him since he now has much higher mobility and reflexes, and can now better fight against anyone who tries to harm him, as well as these abilities have proven useful in both parkour and stunt racing. However, he also dislikes it, since now, unlike before, he has been targeted by various individuals such as Eggman. He never really had many enemies, until then. Often times, he now tries to balance things out for both himself and Himerope, as much as he can.


Abilities: Ashige now possesses many abilities that are much like a Voxai, and his body has changed in ways too. His abilities focus mainly on the energy manipulation powers of the Voxai, which were much stronger for Himerope's, although he still has abilities having to do with their psychic powers.

Due to them having a direct network to each other's minds now, when both Ashige and Himerope think the same thoughts, they gain a slight boost in power as well.

After becoming fused with Himerope, Ashige's fur fell out, but quickly grew back as a series of whisker-like fibers. These fibers he now has for fur allow him to channel his new abilities, and when using his powers, they glow and change color from gray to red. Also, the pupils of his eyes have Himerope's eyespot pattern on them now. He usually wears a pair of goggles in order to cover this up. Ashige's coat, which he was wearing at the time, is also now fused and stuck onto his body now too, so it cannot be removed now.

Ashige also wears a pair of high-tech wrist cuffs and a choker, which Himerope helped him design. These wrist cuffs and choker help him maintain better control over his powers, especially since those are the areas where his coat is now stuck onto now, and his fur fibers are not exposed. The orbs on his cuffs and choker change color and glow as well when he uses his powers, mainly the abilities transmitted from his hands.


Ashige's main ability is that he can now expend energy that his body generates, though not the energy from anything else, with a few exceptions, such as from rings and chaos emeralds, which are designed to be used by other creatures. 
His main way of using this is in an attack called his "Pulse Shot." It is an energy blast attack similar to the energy blasts that the Voxai could fire. He expends the energy in pulses or waves, and he shoots from his fingertips, usually making a "Fingerbang Pose" as he does to direct the energy. Also by using his mind, he can make his Pulse Shots change direction slightly, allowing him to make his shots curve and travel in an arc if he wants. He can also shoot them from his feet if he wants.

Ashige can also produce round green Energy Blades from his arms, which are shaped like discs with a hollow center. They are just like the Round Energy Blades that the Voxai would use for their melee attack. However, due to Himerope's greater energy manipulation, his Disc Blades are slightly longer and have better cutting power. This is his main Melee Attack. He also uses them for his equivalent of a "Spin Dash," he spins horizontally like Blaze does, with both Disc Blades out.

Another ability of his is that he can shoot a quick Wave Burst from his feet once while he's in the air, propelling him forwards. This move he calls "Wave Step" and its basically like a Double Jump, except that it also damages foes close to him when used. He can also use it to break his fall by Wave Stepping near the ground.

Also through use of psychokinesis, although he cannot levitate or fly, Ashige can change the position of his Center of Gravity to somewhere else on his body. The advantage of this is that it allows him to maintain balance even when he should fall over, by shifting his Center of Gravity to somewhere else on his body that would allow him to stay upright.

Ashige also possesses some of Himerope's remaining psychic attacks. One of these is Psychic Wave, where he emits red waves that do considerable harm and can sometimes paralyze a foe, useful in making an enemy unable to attack.

There's also another psychic attack that Ashige can use called "Disorientation Shot." This attack involves Ashige firing orbs at the foe, which do not cause damage, but they upset the balance of their target and causes the foe to experience vertigo, effectively disorienting them periodically. This attack has even proven effective on many of Eggman's robots too, as for it messes up their gyroscope.  

One of Ashige's most powerful abilities is called  is called Singularity. In this one, Ashige creates a sort of field around himself that absorbs all incoming projectiles (even energy-based ones), making him practically immune to crowd control methods, then after a few moments of doing this, he then channels all that collected energy from the attacks into an explosive radial discharge that blasts back everything within the blast radius. Very powerful, but there is a maximum threshold that Dominated Ashige can absorb when using Singularity, and he will have to end the attack and use the burst at the end early if he reaches its limit. Also, certain attacks can pierce it, like melee attacks, and a good enough hit while using this could break his focus and cancel it out. Not to mention, takes a lot of power for him to use this, so it cannot be used repeatedly.

Ashige finds that his newfound powers are very sufficient for combat, and because of this, he prefers not to utilize weaponry in battle, unless he really has to.


One of his other very useful abilities is that due to them being two minds thinking at once and helping each other, his reflexes and agility are also much greater. Although he’s not fast running like Sonic, (his running speed is about as fast as Amy Rose), he can avoid most attacks much better now with lightning-fast reflexes, and is great at avoiding enemy attacks when he's aware of them.
To give an example of his dodging ability, he can even dodge gunfire that he’s aware of to some extent, even if the enemy has a perfect shot.


Finally, Ashige/Himerope has access to another great ability that the Voxai were demonstrated to possess. Whenever a Chaos Emerald is within 200 meters of him, it changes into a "Great Emerald," making the energy act different and causing the Chaos Emerald to turn a deep pink in color. The effect is only temporary, and persists until the Emerald gets out of his range.

When a Chaos Emerald turned Great Emerald is actually in his possession, it amplifies their abilities much more and allows access to more abilities for them, making him stronger, and allowing him to use many more psychic and energy-based attacks, as well as making the ones he already possesses much stronger.

Also due to this, Ashige has the ability to use “Chaos Powers,” like Sonic and Shadow. He can use abilities such as Chaos Control, Chaos Blast, and others, although his mastery of them is a bit more limited. He’s best with Chaos Control though.

It's this ability that has made Ashige become a target for Eggman, who now wants him alive. Eggman wants to capture him for his ability to change Chaos Emeralds into Great Emeralds, which would allow him to unlock even more potential of the Emeralds than he ever had before.


However, although Ashige is very good at dodging enemy attacks, and his own abilities do heavy damage or can leave a foe in no position to fight back, he does have some big weaknesses.

One of Ashige's largest weaknesses is that he has terribly weak physical endurance and defense, and he can’t take very much harm. He can be knocked down quite easily, so a few very strong blows and he would be finished.

Also, overusing his powers can strain both him and Himerope physically and mentally though, so he does have a limit to his powers. Over-exertion could even be fatal. Basically, Ashige's powers are not meant for prolonged usage.

Although not too great of a weakness, anything that can possibly counteract psychic abilities is also greatly effective on Ashige. In fact, since he now has to use his new psychic powers to move his limbs, counteracting his abilities could also make him unable to move as well.


Because of his weaknesses, Ashige prefers to be more of an evasive strategic fighter in combat, rather than engage foes directly.
He likes to avoid harm more than attack, sometimes to the point of playing with his opponents, and prefers quick, precise strikes. When he does attack, he tries to go straight for the enemy's most vulnerable points, even small ones, such as pressure points or other weak spots to maximize damage. Himerope usually helps him analyze the enemy’s vulnerability more quickly, allowing him to do this fast. Also, he always uses his surroundings and environment to his advantage.
