On the game website, it states he came from a happy future that was never destroyed and ended up in the past where he learned his future would be destroyed and tries to prevent it from changing for the worse. Silver has three conflicting backstories for Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). He has two large spines at the back of his head, while at the front of his forehead there are five distinct spines flared up and back, the two final ones covering up most of his ears. The rest of his boots are navy blue, white and cyan.
The tops of his boots are of a similar fashion with a red gem set in gold. He wears white gloves with cyan circles with lines sticking out of the bottom leading to his golden bracelets accented in cyan. Silver is a very light gray (almost white) anthropomorphic hedgehog with white fur on his chest surrounding his neck with gold eyes and tan skin. While developing the character models and textures, they focused on using the hardware to develop the textures rather than just use white-gray, which lead to Silver's color and name. Orange was originally used for his fur for exploration, but they soon moved away from that in favor of a white-gray fur. The next thing to do was choosing the color of the character. After much discussion, the team finalized Silver as a hedgehog. However, the developers ultimately decided against this, fearing a mink would not blend in with the rest of the characters. From this idea, the team pursued the idea for a mink named Template:Nihongo, after Venice in Italy, the place Soleanna is based on. When the team first started and had no idea what direction to follow, someone came up with the idea of a character with Sonic's scarf-like hair, but in more volume. The design team developed over fifty different concepts for the character before reaching his final look, where early sketches included a hedgehog-like animal wearing a futuristic headset and markings on its hair. Wanting to incorporate features emphasizing Silver's abilities, the team sought to give the character new attributes that no other Sonic characters had. During the development of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) in 2005, another action game Sonic Team developed, yet later cancelled, named Fifth Phantom Saga featured core gameplay mechanics that focuses on the use of abilities similar to Silver's. ÄȘccording to Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection interview with Sega developer Shun Nakamura, Silver's abilities were originally designed for a different action game with the character not meant to make an appearance. Early drafts describes Silver as having "special powers" of unknown origin drawn from the Chaos Emeralds, but this was rejected in the final game. This lead to Silver being given his psychokinetic powers. With a new physics engine giving a lot of depth to the game experience, they decided they wanted to include a new character with unique abilities for an alternate way to play through the levels. Silver's creation was inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) early development stages, where the development team was making huge levels with multiple paths through them. 4.8 Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.He eventually masters the technique by consuming the flames, which results in an increase in the user's abilities.)
