Redstone the Fox

Redstone is an anthropomorphic red fox. He is the ancestor of Fox the Brave, having lived 1,000 years ago. The only time he interacts with his living descendant Fox the Brave is during Revenge of Sonic.EXE, The Legend of Fox the Brave: The Beginning, and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.

Appearance: Redstone is a tall, broad-shouldered male red fox with the typical red fox appearance, russet-red fur, white fur running from his chin to his underbelly and on his tail-tip and inside his ears, dark brownish-black paws and ears, a long, lean muzzle, a lean frame(he emphasizes this), and strong, sharp teeth. Redstone also has a rather large, broad frame with thick, almost shaggy fur, as opposed to Fox's "mane" of thick fur, which is more concentrated around his neck, chest, and shoulders. Like Fox, Redstone has emerald green eyes. In terms of apparel, he wears a white t-shirt under an open red flannel shirt with the sleeves stopping just below his elbows, and blue jeans.

--

Personality: Possibly stemming from his fame, Redstone is arrogant and hot-headed, yet became close friends with Jagged Cliff, who is the biggest cat of his Tribe. During the "war" against Sonic.EXE, Redstone was sensible and quick-minded, as well as quick on his paws, being able to dodge almost anything Sonic.EXE threw at him.

Past: Redstone's past is largely unknown, other than that he grew up in the Fox Tribe. During the events of Warriors: Secrets of the Ancients: The Beginning, he befriended Jagged Cliff, and helped young softpaws during their Challenges. He continued to do so until his disappearance, which happened when his Tribe moved to Planet Minecraft to escape Lyric. Before his disappearance, he is mentioned to have donned clothes, which is for reasons known only to him. Redstone is mentioned to be one of the first slugslingers, doing it to save his Home-World, Mobius, from Sonic.EXE. A brutal fight ensued between Redstone and Sonic.EXE, and Redstone won, despite being pushed to the brink of death during the fight(which is not shown in Secrets of the Ancients because none of the Ancient Cats witnessed the battle). Redstone later participated in the Great Mob War of Planet Minecraft, dying because of a wound received against an army of Skeletons.

History(Sonic the Hedgehog): So far, Redstone only appears once in the game Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, when Sonic, Tails, and Fox travel back in time, and meet the red fox hero's ancestor, who's sneaking about. Redstone is mainly seen with Fox next to him, and it is mentioned that the pair have a striking resemblance(possibly just due to the fact red foxes look almost identical).

The Legend of Fox the Brave:

Revenge of Sonic.EXE: He appears after Fox escapes his prison room in the Shadow Cube, and is knocked out. Redstone-not recognizing his own descendant, calls Fox "Foxy", and later aids Fox and his friends in Sonic.EXE's defeat and escape from the Shadow Cube. After escaping, he returns to the Stars.

The Beginning: Redstone is the main character of this prequel story, which details his brutal fight against Sonic.EXE.

Legends of the Past: Redstone is again the main protagonist. This story takes place before his battle with Sonic.EXE and ends with Redstone's solo raid on Lyric.

Trivia:

In Revenge of Sonic.EXE, Redstone has a slight, but noticeable Southern accent. He doesn't have this in neither Sonic Boom nor Warriors. It is unknown why this is.

Despite the above statement saying Redstone died from a battle wound, The Beginning and further statements say that Redstone never fully recovered from his fight with Sonic.EXE and died of illness shortly after moving to Planet Minecraft.

The Legend of Fox the Brave: The Beginning is the second story to feature a main character's death from said character's POV, the first being Swiftstar's in Warriors vs. Sonic.EXE. In The Legend of Fox the Brave: The Beginning, Redstone's death is due to illness and is shown in the prologue, while Swiftstar's death is due to a broken neck, and is shown in the epilogue.

Despite the above statement saying that his Tribe moved to escape Lyric, who was locked away in the first chapter of The Legend of Fox the Brave: The Beginning, when in the story, they moved out of fear of Sonic.EXE.

In The Legend of Fox the Brave: The Beginning, Redstone mistakenly says that Falling Rock and Aspen Tail were both killed by Sonic.EXE, when in reality, they were both injured by him. Falling Rock was permanently crippled, while Aspen Tail was badly wounded. Falling Rock died of natural causes in Warriors: Secrets of the Ancients, while Aspen Tail's cause of death is never specified.

In Legends of the Past, when Argus bites Redstone's tail, it doesn't say that he let go before saying he bites his leg.
