PCN-001 Sonic Man

Sonic Man is one of the three Robot Masters from the Mega Man computer game for DOS.

''Sonic Man is an aquatic Robot Master who uses small sonar wave attacks that are hard to see. He also attacks with three small mines that he drops directly onto Mega Man. He is weak against Dyna Man's Nuclear Detonator weapon because of the rapid change of pressure in the water in causes. Defeating him gives Mega Man the Sonic Wave weapon.'' --MMKB

Backstory
Sonic was the first to be built out of all the other PC robots and it’s partially responsible for him having an A.I. age of a teenager. He’s also the smallest, though his armour makes him a few inches taller. His special ability is to use and manipulate sound waves, especially underwater, which he uses his Sonar Trident for. This emits ultrasonic waves of sound at adjustable frequencies, which Sonic can change and interpret. Still, as this all centres on the Sonar Trident, rather than Sonic Man himself, he has a rather low self-esteem and he tends to think of himself as less useful than the other robots, which in turn makes him a bit of an approval addict who tries hard to impress.

During the time in which Dr. Wily had taken control of Sonic and his brothers, Mega Man was called in to put a stop to this. The fight the Blue Bomber had with Sonic was short, and after the event Sonic had to be rebuilt from scratch. His previous personality was restored perfectly, but he has no memory of the event itself.

As time went on, the other PC bots were sold to different companies, but Sonic had to stay at the first one. He even was lucky enough to receive an armourless upgrade, matching his youthful appearance to his A.I. They had him continue his old research for a while, sometimes moving on to different subjects, like the effect of Sound waves on sea life. However, this didn’t last for that long, as the money they had been granted was running out. As most of the assets were sold off, Sonic had less to do, but he was not permitted to leave. He was demoted to doing more menial tasks, like cleaning and the scientists were less interest in him. They had made 10 highly advanced robots now, and Sonic was one of the least impressive of the lot. The euphoria of achieving such miracles of science had faded and they cared less about their first creation.

This came to a head one day. Sonic had been instructed to clean a room. As he was programmed with the three laws of Robotics, he carried out this order, but as he had not been told to leave the room after cleaning it, he had to wait for the command. Furthermore, the room he was trapped in had no means for him to recharge, so the poor robot had to wait as his power ran out, after which he shut off completely.

He was eventually remembered, and one of the newer scientists retrieved him. This scientist had not been around at the time if Sonic’s constuction and took a greater interest in the android. He also took pity on him and recharged Sonic after he was done with looking at him. Sonic had no memory of the procedures the scientist used on him, but he could remember being abandoned by the humans.

This was too much for the robot. He gathered his things and left, with the loophole that he hadn’t been told not to leave the company. After a few days of homelessness, he was employed and taken in by Magnet Man, where he currently is staying with.

Personality
Sonic has a polite personality which is only sincere around those he likes or cares about, otherwise it is purely programmed behaviour implemented by the scientists who wanted to avoid the sass commonly associated with teenagers. He does have a more moody side to him that grew from the treatment he received and his feeling of being inadequate and useless.

After many years of loneliness and neglect, Sonic is very anxious when meeting new people and constantly worries if he's making a bad impression. To try and counter this, he tends to stay on the cautious side and may apologize too much. However, Sonic does trust other robots more than humans from his experience, although he is aware that humans are all different, some are decent and nice, others are not. He just hasn't met many good people.

Sonic has a tendency to keep things to himself unless others have expressed interest. Even then, Sonic usually only gives out personal information when he trusts the other person enough.
