My personal takes and headcanons on the characterization of Sonic characters (Post Frontiers):

Sonic:

In his early 20's .

Bisexual.

A more mature version of the character, still has a youthful energy and the attitude of a snarky teenager, but is a lot more reflective about his actions and the consequences they have.

Runs at problems just as often as he runs FROM them.

Seeks comfort in the status quo of his life, but as he ages he starts to understand the weight of his choices.

Never wants to slow down, and growing scares him.

Sees the best in people and tries to give them the freedom he yearns for.

Scared of compromise because he feels it would tie him down.

Lighting based powers.

Older brother figure for Tails, very protective of him, which is why he took so long to grow out of Sonic's refuge.

In love with Amy, but constantly avoids her advances out of fear of commitment.

Friendly rivals with Shadow.

Frenemies with Eggman.

True Rivals with Metal Sonic.

Eggman:

In his 30s-40s

Deeply respects Sonic's skill, but hates him still

Values the loyalty and efficiency of machines, and normally thinks that life as a whole would be better off if he could control it and make it work like his machinery.

He dislikes the idea of having living/human henchmen, as he doesn't want the chance of someone betraying him like the ones before, only put into question when Sage enters his life.

Maniacal and egocentric.

Despite his selfish nature and actions, sometimes his more human side comes when the topic of family is brought to the table, although he will never admit it.

VERY protective father, would torch a city for Metal and Sage.

Tails:

12-15

Still unsure about his sexuality, likely straight.

Little brother of Sonic.

His flight speed allows him to catch up to Sonic, but he is still pretty slow on his feet.

Lived under Sonic's guidance for so long he struggles to see his flaws, or to think of himself as anything else but Sonic's sidekick.

Has self-confidence issues.

Wants have a chance to be a hero of his own.

Despite being an inventor, he sometimes feels like he compensates his lack of skill with his machines, which prompts him to train harder.

The strategist of the team, tries to keep tabs on everything and everybody.

Often overworks himself.

Night owl.

Wind based powers.

Friends with Shadow (Nerds)

Sort of friendly rival with Omega.

Rivals with Eggman on who can be the better mind, often outsmarted by the doctor.

Metal Sonic:

Behaves like a teenager, around 15-19

Exists as an AI interconnected to the Eggnet, but chooses to remain attached to his original vessel.

NEO is a spare body, and not a different version/upgrade.

Views Eggman as a father figure, and his diligence to protect him is not rooted in his code, but in his own will, which is why he will run to his aid even when it is an irrational or actively harming move.

Despite suddenly having stopped being an "only child" with the appearance of Sage, Metal isn't bothered or envious about Sage, but rather shares an odd sibling bond with her as she can properly relate to him.

However, instead of jealousy or hatred towards Sage, he often feels self conscious and suffers from identity crisis, as he is split between being Sonic's double, an AI, an Eggman's son, and often has Sage comfort him on his doubts, much to his own shame.

Is deeply starved for recognition and praise by Eggman, and his outburst as NEO are attempts to surpass him in order for Eggman to recognize Metal's achievements, although this only annoys him.

CAN talk in all forms, but chooses to remain non verbal for a majority of the time, only letting out scarce comments here and there, speaking to Sage almost all of the time in binary/through the Eggnet, and reserving the monologues and speeches for his NEO form.

Unlike the other Robots who rebelled against Eggman for their will and identity, Metal wants everyone to recognize him as the apex of efficiency that Eggman seeks in his machines.

HATES Surge and Shadow for mocking him, and often goes out of his way to fight them.

Rivals with Sonic, has a deep hatred for the Hedgehog, and considers him the copy, regularly starts fights with him and challenges him to races.

Amy:

In her early 20s

Pansexual.

Has tried to follow Sonic's pace since childhood out of her love of him, but has slowly grown out of her love quest an into a development of her own.

As or even past Knuckles in physical strength, and damn near Sonic in speed, could duel Shadow to a standstill.

Still deeply in love with Sonic, but she recognizes that Sonic is too free spirited to allow her to have a chance, and has since attempted to move on from her childhood crush, much to Sonic's dismay.

Wants to have her own adventures and make her name before settling down.

Hard working, and very versatile, a good leader.

Kind and welcoming, is often the one to try to introduce people, and the one who taught Sonic and Shadow to forgive and give their opponents a chance.

Her hammer grows in weight by a small margin every day.

Can swim.

Learnt how to intimidate people from Vanilla, and can even make Shadow nervous when she has her outburst.

Is often the therapist and confidant of the group.

Calls Sonic by his legal name when angry.

Water based powers.

Doesn't get along with Rouge.

Tries to be an example to cream, and a figure to rely on for everyone else.

Hangs out with Mecha Sonic on the occasion.

Is one of the few people that Blaze can let loose around.

Knuckles:

Mid 20s

Straight

Is still the Guardian of the Master Emerald, but yearns for an opportunity to do something else with his life.

Is still introverted, but being around Sonic and the others has put his loneliness into perspective.

Works as a bounty hunter every so-often, taking interest in ancient relics and artifacts.

Amy's personal trainer, always happy to help someone with physical training.

Quick to get into a fight, never backs down from a challenge.

Simpleminded, but not ignorant.

Is actually very knowledgeable about archeology, history, and geography.

Dating Rouge (When Team Dark and Team Sonic fight they sneak off to make out).

Still close friends with the Chaotix, often asking them to guard the Master Emerald when he is gone.

Fire based powers.

Shadow:

Mid 30s (Mentally)

Aromantic

He acts edgy and full of himself when he is relaxed, but cool and collected when at work or when the situation calls for a levelheaded attitude.

Still uses guns, but only when the situation calls for it, and only against robots, often using his hands to incapacitate criminals.

Works with G.U.N. alongside Rouge and Omega, having made ammends with the organization after the invasion of the Black Arms, finding a mutual understanding with the commander, and choosing to work together for the better of the world.

Team Dark is still together, and work as a special agent division for G.U.N., being tasked with specific high importance missions.

Shadow still remembers Maria, but rather than letting himself be controlled by the past, he uses Maria's words as a compass to go in the side of good, not trying to obsess with his promise or his origins, but trying to grow into a better person.

Has trouble expressing his emotions, and often has people misinterpret his words with sarcasm.

The few people who can actually read his emotions are Team Dark, Sonic, Knuckles and Amy.

Has nightmares of Gerald, Black Doom, and Mephiles.

He loves latinas.

Tries to be a father figure/mentor to Silver, often teaching him practical knowledge and training his abilities, but has troubles establishing an emotional bond with him.

He is close friends with Knuckles and Amy, as Amy is someone he can emotionally rely on, and Knuckles understands his solitude and trouble expressing himself.

Friendly rivals with Sonic, often playfully teasing him or challenging him, but still holding a great deal of respect.

Rivals with Mephiles. Shadow lays awake at night, fearing that he returns.

Silver:

Straight.

Was always a dork, but having lived in the hellscape of crisis city had him on edge at all times, not allowing him to properly develop.

A far descendant of one of the other 2 hedgehogs.

Has a crush on Blaze but is unable to act upon it, since he doesn't want to ruin the relationship they have.

Uses the timestones to travel through time, but tries not to abuse their power to avoid causing problems in the timeline.

So far removed from his original future that it does not exist anymore, with Silver being a creature immune to the flow of time.

Is close friends with Blaze, being a good confidant and partner for her when things get rough, often visiting her to chat or hang out.

Psychic and Light powers.

Has nightmares of Mephiles.

Is Shadow's student, often asking him to help him train to use his powers and to further master abilities like Chaos Control.

Is Rivals with Infinite, being one of the few people that can undo/bypass his time travel with the Phantom Ruby's reality warping.

Super Transformations:

Super Sonic: Still the most reliable transformation, although Sonic has tried to avoid using the emeralds to not rely on their power too much, wanting to grow his own strength instead.

Hyper Sonic: The most powerful yet unstable form for Sonic, far surpassing that of Super Sonic and even SS2 but costing a massive amount of power from the Emeralds and lifeforce from Sonic himself. Knuckles advised to avoid using that power again, and Sonic forbade the others from trying to reignite the Super Emeralds.

Super Tails: Tails is still not strong enough to handle the power of the Emeralds, and while he can transform, the energy consumption pays a heavy toll on his well being, which is why he often avoids using the Emeralds.

Super Knuckles: Knuckles is no stranger to transforming, and regularly uses the Master Emerald to transform when Eggman or another powerful foe tries to attack Angel Island.

Super Amy: Amy can transform, and is in fact very powerful when she does, but often chooses not to, as while she can handle Chaos Energy just fine, she lacks the necessary contol to make use of a super form, often shooting large energy blasts and afterimages unintentionally when swinging her hammer.
