Avatar (Sonic)

The Avatar (アバター Abatā?), also referred to as the Custom Hero (カスタムヒーロー Kasutamu Hīrō?) and the Custom Character (カスタムキャラクター Kasutamu Kyarakutā?), is a supporting character set to appear in the upcoming video game, Sonic Forces. The Avatar is the new playable hero in the Sonic the Hedgehog merchandise, who can be customized by the player, depending on their choice.

The Avatar will be featured in the storyline of Sonic Forces and will be a important factor in helping Sonic reclaim the world from Eggman’s domination.

Appearance
As a custom character, the Avatar's appearance is entirely selected by the player. While an anthropomorphic animal by default, their species can be one of seven options: bear, bird, cat, dog, hedgehog, rabbit, or wolf. So far, the following can also be edited: the articles of clothing and skin color. A multitude of choices are given for the player to customize the Avatar in any fashion they want.

In most promotional material, the Avatar is depicted as a male wolf with red fur and peach skin for his muzzle and the inner portion of his ears. He has four small tufts of fur protruding from both sides at the back of his head, a short bushy tail, pointed ears that curve upwards, orange eyes and pointed fangs. For attire, he wears thick-rimmed black glasses, a military green dome-shaped headset with a black rim and a small black circular-shaped microphone attached to right side of his head. He also wears a three-pouched tan utility belt around his waist, supported by a strap with a black buckle over the abdomen. On his hands, he wears military green gloves with with medium-sized cuffs, a black inverted chevron on the front and tan patches on the back. His boots are military green with black tips and tan padded patches on the back. Much like his gloves, the boots are adorned with a black inverted chevron on the front.
