Homebrew Electric Hedgehog Pokemon Species Details

"GO SONICHU! GO OUT AND ZAP TO THE EXTREME!"
"I will! Thank you, father!"

- An excerpt from Sonichu Episode 0.

"What the? Sonichu, run!"
"You don't have to tell me twice! But during the stone age..."

-An excerpt from Sonichu Episode 2

Created by a self-proclaimed High Functioning Autistic Lesbian Trans-woman Goddess, the Electric Hedgehog Pokemon race originated in their home city of CWCville, a city of a far off land called 'Virginia' within the territories of 'the USA'. Although they're not a particularly reliable people, tending to have a Neutral alignment, when the chips are down you can count on them to ZAP TO THE EXTREME.

There are drastic differences between male and female within this race, so much so that the different genders are this race's sub-race. Males are referred to as 'Sonichus' while females are called 'Rosechus'. Both sub-races are 3 to 5 feet tall and average around 140 pounds.

Electric Hedgehog Pokemon usually spend their time searching for food, running around very quickly or most importantly, embarking on their 'love quest', a mating ritual where a Sonichu wanders around until it finds a 'boyfriend-free girl' or in a Rosechu's case, a 'girlfriend-free boy' who they will mate for life with.

Religious Unification

Almost all Electric Hedgehogs worship their creator, Christine Weston Chandler. They often follow her warped views of the world, which is a reason why it's rare to find an Electric Hedgehog outside of CWCville. Believers of Christine, or 'Chris Chan' often regard other gods as secondary to her, but deserving of worship nonetheless.
They worship Chris Chan daily, thanking her for their creation and for the skills they have been blessed with.
You gain advantage on Religion checks relating to Chris-Chan.

Electric Hedgehog Power

When in times of hardship, a Sonichu or Rosechu needs only to look up to the sky and remember their creator. Then they gain the power to ZAP TO THE EXTREME and take on any jerkops that stand in their way. During combat, you can make a DC 16 Dexterity check as a bonus action. If you succeed the roll, your speed is doubled for 3 turns and all of your melee-based attacks do an additional 2 lightning damage for the same amount of time.
You have to take a long rest before you can use this power again.

Virgin With Rage

The Love Quest is a very important part of Electric Hedgehog Pokemon society. It can take months, years or even decades for someone to find a Sweetheart that meets their criteria. Unfortunately, this long and often dangerous journey to find a soulmate often results in feelings of resentment for other people within relationships.
Electric Hedgehog Pokemon often try to find partners with bizarre methods that only would make sense to them and their creator. Such methods include the attraction sign, the heart torch and the mythical 'free girlfriend/boyfriend card'.
If you fight against someone of the same gender who is in a relationship and succeed an investigation check regarding their relationship status, you gain +1 to hit with melee attacks.
You also have an attraction sign added to your equipment.

Attack of the Recolours

All Electric Hedgehog Pokemon possess the ability to curl up into a ball and use this form to attack their enemies. This attack is known as the Spin-Dash
There are several sub-races of Electric Hedgehog Pokemon who's spin-dashes possess a different attack power depending on their colour.
As an attack, you can roll into a ball and do a Spin-Dash Attack. The melee attack has a range of 30 feet and does 1d6 damage if it successfully hits. The damage type depends on your colour. The damage increases to 2d6 at 6th level, 3d6 at 11th level, and 4d6 at 16th level. After you use your Spin-Dash, you can’t use it again until you complete a short rest.

Recolours Galore

There are many different colours of Electric Hedgehogs, although no one exactly knows why.
Each colour of Sonichu/Rosechu tends to have a different property to their Spin-Dash. The colour of an Electric Hedgehog may have some influence on an individual's personality or what class the Sonichu/Rosechu chooses, (e.g. White Electric Hedgehogs tend to become passive Clerics while black Electric Hedgehogs often become edgy Rouges).
Your Spin-Dash attack does the following type of damage depending on what colour you are.

  • Yellow/Pink - Lightning.  
  • White - Radiant.  
  • Red - Bludgeoning.  
  • Green - Slashing.  
  • Blue/Purple - Force.
  • Black - Acid.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet. Your speed is not reduced by heavy armour.

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity increases by 2 and your Strength is increased by 1 but your Intelligence is decreased by 1. Thanks, Chris!

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common. That's it. Electric Hedgehogs rarely venture outside of CWCville, so they don't tend to be interested in other parts of the world.

Age

Much like humans, Electric Hedgehogs reach adulthood in their late teens and live less than a century. Unlike humans, they hatch from eggs as either Sonees or Rosees before evolving to maturity in a disturbingly short period of time.
