E.J. the Hedgehog

Eli Junior, or E.J. is an anthropomorphic light blue Hedgehog, who bears a striking resemblance to Sonic the Hedgehog(not the Boom redesign) who he revealed to be his father. Appearance-wise, he looks very similar to Modern Sonic(Not Boom Sonic), with a few differences: his fur is lighter, his eyes darker, and he has a torn ear, and four scars on his arm.

Allegiances:

Current: Storm Fighters

Past: Himself

Abilities(Day): Same as Sonic, capable of Super Transformation. He also has strange mental abilities, enabling him to somehow sense the feelings of those around him(who he chooses, that is), but this does put him at risk of possession by the dark beings of the Worlds.

Abilities(Night): At night, E.J. becomes the Werehog, giving him stretchy limbs. He also gains greatly enhanced strength, able to yank off and crush a robot's head with one hand with little difficulty. Despite his loss of speed, E.J. has come to greatly value his nightly transformation, since his stretchy arms let him attack enemies from a distance. He also still retains his mental abilities, albeit to a lesser degree, allowing him to sense enemies he can't see, as well as tell him where his Teammates are.

Abilities(Super Spike): Same as Sonic, with the addition of "SlugBeam" where E.J. launches a beam of pure slug energy, strong enough to eradicate anyone made of dark energy, i.e. Mephiles.

Personality:

Day(Hedgehog): E.J. takes after his father in terms of personality: he's rather lofty and free-spirited. His reasonable personality is in great contrast to Fox's arrogant ferocity. He absolutely hates anything that slows him down or threatens his friends or Team.

Night(Werehog): As the Werehog, E.J. is much more serious and fierce, and his temper is shorter, making him more volatile and likely to lash out. Despite this, he is still a great second-in-command, is still reasonable, and sensible.

History(Sonic the Hedgehog): E.J. is born a little after the events of Sonic Lost World, and is named Eli Junior, after Eli Shane, hinting that Sonic has helped the Shane Gang in the past. However, Eggman destroys E.J.'s home in a fit of rage, forcing them to flee. Nothing is known beyond that, as he shared his full past with Red the Fox("Fox the Brave"), who refuses to reveal it.

In the Sonic Boom TV series: E.J. makes some minor appearances, but so far, he makes only two major appearances: First in The Meteor, he first appears sound asleep in his Bed, grumbling in his sleep while Eggman(in Sonic's body) is planning how to take out Team Sonic. Afterward, E.J. is seen mainly taking care of an extremely ill Fox, who was sick from an Unlucky Potion(with Blindness, Nausea, Mining Fatigue, and Weakness). When talking with him, Eggman mistakenly calls E.J. either Eli or "my son", leading E.J. to become suspicious of his "father". His second major appearance is in It Takes a Village to Defeat a Hedgehog, trying several times to fight Shadow for attacking Sonic. When Shadow leaves, E.J. rages that Shadow will have to fight him to get to Sonic.

History(SlugTerra): A while before the events of Ghoul From Beyond, E.J., stuck in the Eastern Realm while looking for Eli, has a run-in with the Goon, who attacks him, thinking him to be Sonic. The Goon traps some Ghoul Energy inside E.J., triggering his Werehog Transformations. When Ghoul From Beyond does transpire, E.J. sneaks after the Goon, and with the help of a StarClan cat, enters Eli's mind to help him drive the Goon away. When E.J. realizes he's met his namesake, he jumps at the chance to join the Shane Gang. Later, in Return of the Elementals, E.J. helps the gang, but has few speaking roles. He is also appears in Slug Fu Showdown, with his friend Fox the Brave, who joins sometime in between Return of the Elementals and Slug Fu Showdown.

History(Ninjago): E.J. appears in Ninja Roll, despite not appearing in previous episodes. He is the rival of the Master of Speed, Griffin Turner, believing the hot-head to have somehow copied his and Sonic's super speed, and the fact Griffin speaks so rudely about Sonic. He is first seen waking up from the hard bed, not very comfortable on the skates put on his feet. When he chooses a team for the Thunderblade Race, he chooses a green wristband(his head's too big for the helmets), thus supporting the remaining Ninja. When Turner pushes Kai, E.J. speeds up and pushes the former off his feet, saying "That'll teach you to dis my father!", hinting that Turner was rather rude about Sonic. He then appears in Spy for a Spy, first seen eating with Reedstar next to him. Throughout the meal, E.J. and Reedstar joke and exchange stories. They even share suspicions about Chen's motives. Reedstar growls that he never liked snakes, and E.J. agrees that he didn't either, somehow hinting about Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric

Trivia:

Sometime between Return of the Elementals and Slug Fu Showdown, Eli offered to cure the Ghoul energy inside E.J., but the latter refused, having stated he likes what his Werehog form gives him in terms of abilities, despite his loss of speed.

Since the Storm Fighters' foundation, E.J. has become a strongly trusted voice, since he is Fox the Brave's closest friend, and second-in-command. Directly below E.J. in terms of rank is Sonic the Hedgehog

Despite being a very strongly trusted member of the Storm Fighters, E.J. becomes very stressed when Fox is absent from his leader duties. This is because E.J. believes he isn't ready to be a leader, and believes that Fox is better suited for it than him.
