My first fan character!:)

Name: Shikitetsu the Death Mantis
Gender: Male
Species: Preying Mantis
Eye's: Red
Age: 20
Birthplace: Chun-nan

No one made a Mantis character, so I decided to make one.
Shikitetsu the Mantis is a rouge ninja who betrayed his masters teachings, seeking to kill for money. He once trained alongside Espio the Chameleon up in Chun-Nan. He grew impatient and jealous of Espio's superior skills. Shikitetsu killed their sensei and ran off to regions unknown, Espio tried to give chase, but eluded he was.

They say Shikitetsu joined a mysterious guilde of assassins, working for money and to stain blood on his sickles. He onced encountered Sonic the Hedgehog in Empire City and nearly killed Sonic if it weren't for Espio and team Chaotix showing up in time.

He now awaits his rematch with Espio and the chance to kill Sonic the Hedgehog, anyone who get's in his way will be decapitated!

His design and personality is inspired off Yamazaki in King of Fighters and Zagi from Tales of Vesperia.

Oh! That's a pretty bad ass Mantis character! Looks like a worthy adversary for Espio and Sonic. I made a mantis character as well named Sever, but he's actually Fang's rival. Good job!

Mantis are some of the coolest insects around so I had to draw a Sonic mobian character of my own.

There aren't enough insect based Sonic characters as far as I'm concerned. I actually made three of them. I like to use rarely used animals for Sonic OCs instead of the usual hedgehogs, echidnas and foxes. For example, one's a pig, one's a fly, one's a snake, ect.

Wow, that certainly is a unique character. A mantis huh? Very cool, and I love the backstory you gave him.

Yeah, I love him too, very menacing he is.
I'm sadden that their aren't too many unique character designs, just hedgehogs, foxes, echidnas and cats over and over again. Personally I'm tired of hedgehogs with the exeption of Sonic, Amy, Shadow and Scourge. I always call Silver a Porcupine and Shadow a Tenrec.

Yeah, there are a lot of Hedgies around, aren't there? I'm one of those with several of them, so... ^^;
Problem is, I can't think of new animals to use. If I could, then I'd make some more original characters.
