Team: N/A

Shadow appears as he does in the Sonic series. He does not have access to Chaos Control/Blast/Rift. He has brought <CUSTOM> to battle.

Terrain: Space Colony ARK - The most advanced research center of its kind, currently orbiting the Earth. All areas are accessible, although there's no way outside, and no inhabitants are present.

 Customization: Shadow may bring with him 1 of the following weapons:
- Shadow Rifle
- 4-Shot RPG
- Samurai Blade 2.0

Chaos Control (Start of Battle) - Once every five weeks, Shadow may get his mitts on that elusive chaos emerald, granting him 15 seconds of Chaos Control during the fight, slowing down time for everyone but him, usable at his discretion.

UPGRADES:

(Ability Upgrade; 15 EXP)

Drops to once every 4 weeks. Chaos Control will no longer slow down the rest of his team.

(Character Upgrade; 10 EXP)

Shadow gets all of his weapons, removing the customisation.

(New Pre-Battle Ability; 15 EXP)

The Ultimate Lifeform (Pre-Battle) - Shadow was created to be superior to his peers. Even in Mercs he's better than Sonic, plot be damned. Upkeep doesn't lie! Once every five weeks he will demonstrate this to a rosterable preselected non-Robotic or Undead enemy mercenary (he's the ultimate LIFEform after all) and up his parameters to be slightly better than them in every department (whilst not lowering any of his natural base levels). The original target meanwhile, will be rather depressed at being made seemingly redundant, and will favour targeting Shadow whenever possible to try and prove a point. For every upkeep lower than Shadow his target is, the cooldown may be lowered by one week, to a minimum of one week. If he targets a merc of 6 upkeep or higher, he will be injured the next time he is rosterable for as many weeks as their upkeep is greater than 5. All that hubris doesn't come without a cost!
