FINALLY!!!!
The OFFICIAL "Stryder the Nirogan" reference!
-
Sorry this took so long. School keeps kicking me in my nether-regions...
ANYWAY... here it is! I tried setting up the poses to help with how his hair looks in different perspectives. The small poses show head-on and side views AND also act as his various outfits! Those are his MAIN ones, by the way. I didn't have room to add the "Toughset" apparel, (Heads-up, ALL my characters have a Toughset outfit!)
I was trying a new shading thingy with the main Stryder pic there too.
And there's a thorough explination on how his hair is set up! Hopefully it makes things easier...
And now for the general specs!
-
Name; Stryder the Nirogan (That's right. "Nirogan." Technically, he's not a "hedgehog" since those are only on Mobius/Earth. THAT MEANS HE'S A FRIGGIN' ALIEN!!!...)
Home; Niroga (A completely separate planet that, for simplicity's sake right now, has only "hedgie" characters as the main population. Humans don't exist there!)
Age; 30 (Though most citizens live up to 600-700 yrs, so he's still a young squirt! Also, Niroga's years are only half as long as Earth's)
-Stryder is one of the strangest genetic mutations of a Nirogan to date. He's albino. (NOTE; His hair is hue reflective. That means it's not normally tinted blue like you normally see. It takes the general hue of his surroundings) He's also an Audi, a more common genetic off-shoot of the "Hedgehogs" that are missing visible ears. It doesn't affect their hearing however. Also, he only has four fingers. Yeah. Finally however, the most odd mutation is his accelerated maturation cycle. Fully grown and capable at his age is unheard of!
(Believe it or not, there are REASONS behind all these mutations! I don't jot them down because I don't want to spoil the story...)
Stryder was also orphaned. No idea who his parents were. But he also has absolutely no memory of before he was 10. His situation doesn't really bother him however, since he doesn't know what a family is like.
He's also completely clueless concerning the topic of girls and romance and what not. Like ABSOLUTELY clueless. There's a reason for that too in his story.
Stryder's hyperactive attitude, and accelerated body development, together give him a heightened level of energy, which have made him quite the fighter. On top of that, he also has the ability to control the Elements, and a variety of sub-elements! (Kinda like "Avatar; The Last Airbender" if you wanna troll me about being a copycat...) However, on Niroga, he isn't the only one who can do this. In fact, at first, he's much stronger just fighting with his hands and feet than using the elements!
This brings me to the alternate outfits. Stryder usually just goes around in his normal pants and shoes. NO ONE has ever seen him without his pants on. NOT EVEN ME. OK? But sometimes, for more serious situations, he wears his formal "Nirogan Uniform"(Right) (NOTE; This uniform is not a planet-wide thing. It's exclusive to what's called the Nirogan Society, the citizens who specialize in elemental usage.)
OTHER FUN FACTS;
Stryder LOVES Corn Dogs! As much as Sonic loves chili dogs, if not more so! He also can swim. Yeah, something hedgehogs apparently have difficulty with on Mobius.
Despite the fact that he's clueless about girl affection and what not, his accelerated growing has also made him unusually attractive to women. (Honestly, I thought this was one of the funniest character traits one could have, so I threw it in there!)
Stryder the Nirogan one of my "Recycled characters." Meaning he shows up in more than just his own story. ALL my official OC act more as an "Acting Troupe" rather than simply being exclusive to one story.
Stryder ISN'T ADHD. Though sometimes it seems like it. It's more of a state of "Unsupervised Innocence," since he's still fairly unfamiliar with his world. The main characters he's normally found with are his best friend, Talon: [link] , his not-so-secret admirer Tanya, [link] , and his mechanic friend Camil [link] Who's also got a thing for him...

So there you have it! If there's anything extra you'd like to know, lemme know! (I won't reveal any spoilers however.) Now people, you finally HAVE your reference! Enjoy gratuitously!
