Gold the Cat (Normal Outfit)

Hello, everyone! I apologize for not posting any of my Sonic fanart if some of you wanted to see it. But anyway, here's an outfit that Gold wears when he's not with the Royal Guard of Mobotropolis. Now, for anyone who waited for the long story about Gold, here it is along with more information about him.

: BIO :
Name: Gold the Cat

Age: 14

Abilities: Average Swordsmanship (limited due to the weight of the Chaos Master Sword), Average Agility (limited due to weight), can control the Chaos Master Sword after it collects Chaos Energy from all Chaos Emeralds (the Super Master Sword)

Personality: Cocky (dives into fights without regard of risk), childish (always immature, comments about whoever he meets), selfish (doesn't care to anyone he meets for the first time, always wants everything to come into his way), caring with those he's really attached to (he'll protect anyone he is fond of, other attributes will apply to protection)

Affiliation: Good

Current Place of Residence: Knothole Village

Weapon Attributes:

In its normal state with no Chaos Energy supplying the sword, it is basically your normal, yet heavy sword for a Mobian since its loss of its original power distorted it to become more accustomed for human-like beings, making the action of pulling it out and putting it back in tedious. When it collects Chaos Energy from one or more Chaos Emeralds by proximity, it will regain its power to shoot Skyward Strikes (lasers). Charge Time and Strength will decrease as the sword collects more Chaos Energy. It will become the Super Master Sword temporary after collecting all Chaos Energy until depleted. But regardless of its Super Form, it would not affect Gold as he does not inherit its attributes once turned.

History:

Gold is part of the Royal Guard. He had always admired Sonic's bravery and valor ever since Sonic first fought Eggman. After being harrassed by his fellow peers for being terrible in fencing for a few months, Gold was considering of giving up being part of the Royal Guard. So, while he was sleeping on his designated bed within the barracks of Mobotropolis during his dark times of being bullied around, he heard a voice call out to him. The voice said that he should not give up his position on the Royal Guard as a foot-soldier. The voice told him that there is a way for him to be good in fencing. After Gold had a temporary argument with the voice, he woke up to the sight of Tikal, the former guardian and spirit of the Master Emerald, in front of him. Confused and scared by her spiritual appearance, he fell off the bed. Tikal, however, assured him that she does not mean harm. He then asked why she was here. Tikal mentioned that there is a sword that rests on Angel Island that can help him be better in fencing. Gold, confused, spoke to her why a sword could magically help him be better in fencing. Tikal assured him that he will see if he seeks the sword and then she bid goodbye to him because she drained power from the Master Emerald in order to speak with him. Gold pondered for a while, to believe of Tikal's story or discard it as an illusion caused by sleep desperation. Concerned with helping Sonic, he decided to seek the sword and went to bed. Following the days forward from his encounter of Tikal, he proved that he can travel to Angel Island by passing tests designated for new scouts that desired to protect Angel Island. After he passed these tests, he arrived at Angel Island. He then heard a voice beckon to him. A voice unfamiliar to him. It sounds like the voice of a robotic being, but it sounds strangely heavenly at the same time. Gold, now reluctant to ignore any voices that speak to him, (because he didn't wanted to question it), responded to the voice by asking why it was speaking to him. The voice mentioned that it knows where the sword is on Angel Island. Gold then asked where it was. The voice mentioned that he should find a large yet short mound of dirt that is surrounded by foliage. Gold then proceeded to find this mound. The other newly appointed scouts for Angel Island that had passed the tests looked at him, thinking he was going crazy. With ignorance, they immediately went to their new posts without questioning further of Gold going by himself in wilderness that they are all not familiar with. Tikal then appeared again with Gold. He immediately stopped, surprised that she still talked to him, and greeted her. He asked where the sword is. Tikal accepted his request and walked to his destination. Where his quest can come to a conclusion and he can finally help Sonic! Tikal, in front of the mound, stopped. She requested for Gold to dig through the mound. Gold then agreed and dug. When he dug for a few seconds, he uncovered a violet folded hilt towards the blade with a dark embedded crystal. Gold, excited, then pulled out the sword. Raised it above his head, he gazed in awe and sighed in relief. The scabbard of the sword spontaneously appeared on him. In further awe, he looked around him, confused why the scabbard of the sword is now on his person. Another spirit then appeared in front of him, coming out from the sword. Gold, frightened, fell down. The spirit, chuckled slightly, introduced itself with the voice he heard before. The spirit looked like a young human girl, but metallic. She looked similar to the sword in his hand. She introduced herself as Fi. Gold, after being dazed, got up. Fi thanked him for his release of the Master Sword, as she put it. "Huh, the Master Sword. That's a cool name," what Gold thought after hearing it. Fi then mentioned that she had been stuck in the Master Sword for thousands of years. "Heh! That's a nice beauty rest," said Gold. Fi said that it wasn't, for she wanted to help the sword's previous masters. "Masters? Aww... And I thought I was unique of being the guy of finding this sword that no one else found," sighed Gold. Fi then said that her masters went through a lot without her assistance, from traveling through childhood to adulthood to sailing the seas. "Oh... The seas," sighed Fi. "What?" "The seas... That's where my second to last previous master, before you, left me. I was cursed into this land." "What do you mean?" "The king, by the power created by the Three Goddesses in my land, wished for the fallen kingdom underwater to be permanently washed away. After that master left me in the head of that villian, I felt something that brought me from being stuck within my slumber in the Master Sword. I suddenly was teleported to an arid environment, full of trees and vines. It was peaceful until I heard a skirmish between creatures, creatures that resembled primitive tribes of cats and echidnas fighting each other." "You could have just summarized it..." "I honestly want to tell you this, Master. Now, after I looked around, I immediately hid into the sword. Why I was hiding? A primitive cat who looked like the chief was running towards me. Her Grace spoke to me for the first time ever since I was in the Goddess Sword, as a message in case the Master Sword would be permanently forgotten by those who dwell in my land, that I would be brought to a new place to continue my legacy. Without anything else, that was my final connection to my original land. The chief, holding a bow and arrow, slowly crept to me." "Why didn't you scared it?" "I can't move without an appointed master. I needed him to pick it up, so I remained in the sword. The chief shot an arrow to the sword, but it just deflected off. So the chief, after shooting the arrow, just decided to bite on the blade. Strangely, it didn't cut his mouth, but he appreciated the hardness of the blade. The cat stopped biting the sword and pulled it out of the ground. I don't know why this is a habit among my previous masters, but as my other masters, he raised it above his head. After using the Master Sword in this skirmish, he took it to where his tribe lives. He put a tarp made out of animal hide of their symbol over the symbol of the power of the Three Goddesses after his kin almost burned themselves putting the emblem. Then, the near extinction of the Felidae Tribe, the tribe who had the Master Sword, occurred. The tribe went to the now current ruins of the City of the Knuckles Clan. He went with the Master Sword in hand. All was going well while fighting them, but strangely, a tall monster, made out of water, came out and killed him and his kin, along with the Knuckles Clan. Bodies of both of the tribes were everywhere. I was left to succumb to this view, within the ancient battlefield, for thousands of years. During this period of time, the power of the Master Sword weakened to the point of the sword being in this state of disrepair because her Grace no longer provided the necessary power for the Master Sword to stay in its true glory. Its true glory that has been preserved for thousands of years. I could not move anywhere. Tikal, however, comforted me. I told her my plight, along with the possibility of the wrong person wielding the sword due to insufficient power. She then said that I needed to be buried in order to prevent the wrong person having it. I agreed and she requested the Guardian of the Master Emerald during that time to bury the Master Sword. Along with her request, she used the Master Emerald's power to keep the Master Sword to decay into dust. Ever since, I have been sitting here. During the time I waited for you, she mentioned that my presence wasn't required. But, weeks ago, she finally told me that there is a master that needs the Master Sword. And you. You finally shown up." "Wow. What a story." "Thank you, Master. And thank you, Master Tikal, for helping me throughout the years." "You're welcome," Tikal said, happy with Fi's true master finding her and the sword. She then requested Gold that for people affiliated with his allies and his allies themselves, he should not hurt them. Gold agreed and Fi disappears into the sword. Gold said goodbye to Tikal and then went to his post. After a few months, he went back to Mobotropolis and found the Freedom Fighters walking about. He asked them if he can be with them because he said he wanted to help Sonic, but the Freedom Fighters, including Sonic, were not sure due to him looking like he's another average person and told him that they will tell their decision later. Gold assured them that he can help them by showing the Master Sword and telling his story. The Freedom Fighters were not convinced, but after Gold showed the capability of the Master Sword literally being able to shoot lasers (which Fi called them "Skyward Strikes"), they became convinced and letted him journey with them, even though Sonic was not convinced enough since he never saw evidence of the Master Sword and the Felidae's existence at the Mystic Ruins and Angel Island.
