Appearance: 

Normal: Red has the typical appearance of a red fox, thick russet-red fur, white fur running from his chin to his underbelly, as well as his tail-tip and the insides of his ears. He has large dark brownish-black paws and ears, and a thick "mane" of fur around his neck, shoulders, and chest, and emerald green eyes. In terms of apparel, he wears a black t-shirt under an open brown leather jacket, and beige cargo shorts. Red appears to have taken after both his mother and his father in terms of looks; He's large and broad like his father, yet lean and swift like his mother

Super: When he become Fire Fox, Fox's fur becomes bright golden-yellow, his paws and ears become white, and his eyes turn dark red. He also gains a fire "mane" where his "mane" of fur is, and he gains flames on all four paws and his tail becomes a tail of flames.

Hyper: Fox becomes completely white(minus his nose, which keeps its coloring), and is completely engulfed in flames. His eyes become pale yellow(his pupils keep their coloring).

Chaos: Fox combines with Tai's spirit to become a Mega Charizard Y with powers that easily exceed those of Sonic.EXE

Fusion: Fox combines with Splash to create a white Greninja with orange areas on its "crests", and elbows that flash when Fox speaks.

Feral: Fox becomes a Mega Charizard X, powered by his own rage and hatred.

Abilities:

Normal: Fox has little outside his natural abilities. He is capable of running very fast for surprisingly long periods of time, indicating he has surprising stamina-likely stemming from his lean frame. He can also dig holes(since foxes are cable of doing this somewhat in real life), though he is never seen doing this.

Super/Burst Mode: As Fire Fox, Fox gains pyrokinesis(control over fire), as evidenced by the flames on his paws, neck, and tail. His main attack his a long-range attack, being capable of launching fireballs. He has enhanced strength, able to knock flying opponents out of the air from a single blow from his tail(similar to Iron Tail) As Fire Fox Burst Mode, these skills are enhanced greatly, and he gains the "Pulse Roar" attack, which-like his fireballs-allow him to attack from a safe distance.

Hyper/Burst Mode: Fox's abilities are enhanced even more, and he gains super strength, a powerful bite(a rather nasty one at that), and his pyrokinesis is greatly strengthened as well.

History:

Sonic the Hedgehog: Fox's story in the Sonic series begins when he is a young cub: his mother and father, Torch and Snow, are killed by Eggman. Later on, he meets Eli Junior, "E.J." the Hedgehog; how they met is a secret between them. In a story similar to Sonic '06, seeing as he was born in Soleanna Forest, he makes his father Torch's mistake, and is duped into helping Eggman, believing Sonic is the enemy. Sonic eventually changes Fox's(known as Red at the time) mind, and helps him escape. Knowing Eggman will hunt him down, Red changes his name from Red the Fox to Fox the Brave. Afterward, Fox-becoming well-known as a hero since a daring fight in SlugTerra-finds his missing sister, Sadie, but is hurt to find her making the same mistake he did: Helping the enemy. Angry, he practically disowns his littermate, claiming that as long as she helped the enemy, they were enemies, not littermates. Sadie afterward makes several failed attempts to reconcile with her brother, before Fox finally came through.

Minecraft: Fox starts his own farm with his mate, Karra. He owns Sheep, Bighorn Sheep(Twilight Forest Mod), Pigs, Cows, and tamed Wolves. He is a close ally of the Hidden Delta, an underground society. Fox's home in Planet Minecraft is also the focal point of a fandom series: The Legend of Fox the Brave.

Personality: Before Torch and Snow's deaths, Red was a bundle of excitement, and caring of his littermate Sadie. After the incident, however, Red was deeply emotionally traumatized, and grew to hate Eggman with a passion as fierce as his temper. Fox always appears pushy, hot-tempered, immensely self-proud, fierce, easy to anger, and incredibly sarcastic. Around his family, Fox is what a father should be: caring, and loving. Even so, he still has a tendency to snap, especially when Shadow the Hedgehog's around, since Fox has a very strong hatred of Shadow, for foiling his attempts to escape Eggman. Due to this, Fox and Shadow cannot be near each other for 2 seconds without Fox being aggressive and trying to go for Shadow's throat. Much like Sonic, Fox can be considered Shadow's opposite, as despite Fox's arrogant personality and vicious temper, Shadow considers Fox weak due to his reliance on his friends. Because of his strong hatred for Shadow, Fox also strongly hates anything that has to deal with Shadow, i.e. Mephiles

Because of his fierce disposition, in The Meteor, E.J. described Fox(especially a violently ill Fox) as an "arrogant red fox with a temper like an erupting volcano"

Relationships:

Eli Junior, "E.J." the Hedgehog: Red and E.J. are as close as brothers, and view themselves as such. They are very close, and while they've had their arguments-with E.J.'s more sensible personality contrasting with Fox's arrogance and fierce temper-they still have a brotherly relationship, which is the main reason why Fox made E.J. his second in command.

Team Sonic: Fox has a more mutual friendship with Team Sonic, Sonic in particular. Fox originally idolized Sonic, later befriending him after escaping Eggman. He's more neutral with the other members of Team Sonic, often irritated by Sticks' paranoia regarding his dragon.

Shadow the Hedgehog: At first, Fox was very uncomfortable around Shadow, but after Shadow prevented Fox from escaping Eggman, and afterward, Fox grew to hate Shadow, often being the aggressor when the pair are near each other. As of right now, Fox and Shadow cannot be near each other for 10 seconds before diving for each other's throats, Fox in particular.

Destroyer the Ender Dragon: Destroyer was given to Fox as an egg by his father, the Ender Dragon from the End, and the pair have been close friends since. Destroyer is now Fox's main mode of transportation and one of the Storm Fighters' most trusted voices. Destroyer and Fox's relationship was put to the test when Herobrine forced the Dragon to fight his own Teammates, but when the Griefer was defeated, Destroyer and Fox's relationship was restored.

Sonic.EXE: Due to the demonic hedgehog's heavy grudge against Redstone, Sonic.EXE wanted to get his revenge by going after Fox, though during the red fox's youth, Sonic.EXE was trapped in the Shadow Cube and could do little outside of watching him and sending occasional nightmares. Taking an interest in the orphaned cub, Sonic.EXE somehow grew stronger from Red's negative emotions as well as those of others. He finally broke free and went after Red, now renamed Fox the Brave. Sonic.EXE mocked Fox in front of Sonic, Tails, Destroyer, and the Shane Gang in SlugTerra, telling him he had been watching since before Torch and Snow's deaths. Later, this fueled the fire of Fox's rage, and gave him the strength to win every battle they've fought since. The one exception to this is Taking Back the Worlds, where Sonic.EXE gained control of the Worlds, and kept Fox alive to see it. With his Teammates' support though, Fox gained the strength to fight back and win. In short, they hate each other.

Trivia:

Fox's Super Form, Fire Fox, is a pun on the Internet browser, Firefox

Fox has claustrophobia, seeing as he hates enclosed spaces. Despite this, he was unaffected by living underground in his youth and before creating Team Brave(the precursor to the Storm Fighters). It likely spawned from his intense animosity with Sonic.EXE and his sudden fear of the shadows.

Fox's way of relieving stress is releasing a shout of frustration. He often does this when facing an enemy that irritates him to no end

While Fox's grandfather Rocket was able to communicate with Pokemon(if they couldn't speak), neither Fox nor his father Torch have this ability, and it is unknown if any of Redstone's descendants beyond Garrett have this ability since no Pokemon appeared in The Legend of Fox the Brave: The Beginning, and none of Ferrell's descendants appeared up until Andrew.

It is implied that Tai first met Fox in Land of Nightmares, however it is hinted in World of Shadows that he knew Fox prior to Land of Nightmares. This is explored in Red's Rescue, a prequel and the first to show Fox as he grows up after Torch and Snow's deaths.

In the Prologue for The Egg Boss Scare, it is said that Fox injured his right shoulder fighting Metal Sonic, but in the Prologue for Zorro's Shadow, it is said that he injured his left shoulder.
