PLEASE NOTE: Firstly, Mace is not Knuckles the Echidna. Just because they look similar to one another, it does not mean they are the same. I haven't had the chance to compare them side-by-side to display differences and this is an older profile picture.
My Sonic fancharacters live in a fandom expansion of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic series.
Mace is the brother of Anti-Knuckles from Anti-Mobius (or the evil parallel dimention version of Mobius, which is Canon btw).

Unfortunately, the original file was accidentally deleted so I can't update the picture itself to make it look any nicer.

Personality Traits:
Mace is aggressive and hot-headed, though he tries not to show it much. Probably because, being thick-skinned, he maintains a high tolerance.

Mace's is quite withdrawn and skeptical when in the presence of someone he dislikes or doesn't know well.
Unless someone has earned his trust, it's almost impossible to make him a friend. Mace will only give his trust to those who earn it from him. His trust is hard-earned,
but once it is earned, he become much more open, with his loyalty steadfast and unwavering. (Unless they prove themselves otherwise).

Mace's morality is sound and he holds firm to his honor, believing it's of utmost importance. Mace is completely loyal to his beliefs, and follows his own rules and guidelines for behavior faithfully. Mace also has a strong sence of justice, if he sees someone unfairly matched, or being brutaly wounded, he'll most likely intervene.

Mace tends to be quiet and is mostly reserved in public, he'll occationally show his inner thoughts and personality when he's alone with friends. A bit of a loner at times, he doesn't have a short temper, but you have to be careful when dealing with him, all Hell will break loose if he reaches his boiling point.

If Mace gets angry enough, it could cloud his normally sound judgement as does the presence of anyone he hates. Mace's aggresive personality can also bring this about, and it can happen fairly easily if he's in a foul mood (or hungry for that matter), but it doesn't last long, because for the most part he's quite level-headed.

Even though Mace is (for the majority) only outright hating toward those considered scum, like most Echidnas he is downright hostile towards Dingoes in general. Mace's personal grudge against the Dingoes originates from a young age. When he was an infant he was separating his real family by a Dingo Raid on his home. He assumes his family were also killed by those same Dingoes.

Underneath all that, he's a very caring, and an all-around nice guy. This is the most evidant when he takes care of his adopted twin daughters, Jenna and Lianna; A pair of 4-year-old twin foxes, he adopted when he found then ragged and starving to death in a Mobian jungle.

From chosing to don the role of a father at and early age, he's somewhat overprotective of his adopted daughters, and seldom lets them leave his gang's home base (Prowler HQ), even when under supervision.

■ Magic
■ Sonics (High-frequency sounds/soundwaves)

(Orange when he's in his normal from and Blue when he enters his Dark form (or if his powers are somehow amplified)
■ Frenzy Fire
■ Fire Arrow (only usable in Dark Super Form)
■ Fire Combination
■ Fire Dunk
■ Chaos Thrusters - Hovering (Mace channels Chaos Fire through the holes in his Jet Boots, in order to achieve lift-off for a short period of time, or to hover over most surfaces, though he might fall if he loses consentration)
■ Jet Charge (A ramming technique where he propels himself into his opponent using thrust from his boots)
■ Rocket Kick (A well-timed jet-propeled kick. A risky manuevar that could easily be disasterous if he misses his target.)
■ Chaos Fury (Assaults the foe with a rapid flurry of fiery punches, then send them skyward with an uppercut, rising with them he'll follow it up with downward two-fist slam to send them careering toward the ground and follow shortly, coming down fist-first on his opponent)
■ Anarchy Rupture (Channels the energies in his body when he punches at the ground, sending a fiery shockwave)
■ Chaos Flare (Mace's personal finisher: He launches himself into the air with a jet-assisted jump, then charges a ball of Chaos Fire between his hands until it becomes too large, then raises it above his head, charges it until it's three time his size and hurls it down at the opponent.)


Forms & States

Super Form: None. Mace's blood has been tainted too far by an evil presence to sustain one.

Dark Form: Achieved when his anger peaks while using his powers (However in this state he has much less control over his powers and may even lose track of friend or foe in this state, due to the demon-like entity, that cursed him, known as "Essense").

In his Dark Super form Mace is called "True Malice". In this form, Mace's eyes turn a fiery orange, his pupils turn into snake-like slits, and his fur turn a pitch black. The tribal markings on his dreads glow silver, his clothing greys, and his fists are engulfed in Chaos Fire.

Enraged: If Mace's anger is pushed to the limit, but he doesn't have the energy to sustain his Dark Form, he will be vunerable to Essence's infulence and may blindly attack anyone in range, friend or foe alike.
