(( Bio:
As his old self, Metal Sonic/Shard had a rather emotionless personality, acting as another of Robotnik's obedient robots, though he did express contempt for his enemies. However, after his defeat at the hands of Knuckles and the Chaotix, and having been forced to rebuild himself, his personality drastically improved, as did his abilities and appearance. He showed overt signs of emotions while battling Sonic, mocking and insulting his organic counterpart, and shortly before his apparent death, revealed that he could surpass his programming and act as a complete individual. As part of his developed personality, he became arrogant and extremely self-confident in his abilities.
Because of this, he is fairly easy going, though he is also not above playfully (or cruelly) taunting or mocking others. A notable example of Shard's cockiness was when he teased Silver during their mission to Soumerca whilst simultaneously showing off his abilities. As indicated during the same mission, however, Shard seems somewhat protective of Larry Lynx. It's possible that his ability to surpass his original programming stems from his Power Gem core. Despite being modeled after a Hedgehog, Shard hates being buried, most likely as a result of his near destruction at mercy of a tidal wave of lava. He also has Sonic's knack for finding unexpected solutions to problems. Since his rebuilding, he also seems to have developed a sense of his mortality, and appears to long for the sorts of family connections that his organic counterpart enjoys. Perhaps in this spirit, he began spending a good deal of time with NICOLE, whom he seems to have developed some feelings for as a result.
Despite his ego in battle, Shard is actually rather insecure, weighed down by both his past misdeeds and the negative image created for robots by Eggman's villainy. He is eager to change this impression, and is willing to sacrifice himself for the very people that he believes would fear him if they knew of his existence. Furthermore, while he apparently wishes to help his fellow artificial beings, he is willing to destroy any who are incapable of moving beyond their destructive programming. He also wishes to make amends for the evils he has committed, and provide help to his former foes in their battle against evil. ))
Shard the Metal underwent even more changes. Due to a desire for a sort of intimacy sexual desires have been shown. Since he is rather lusty by nature as of late, his eyes and power gem have turned purple in color, which is a color that is well known for being a symbol of not only royalty, but also of lust.
He is a bit of a charmer, and has a sweet side. He doesn't easily get angry, but when he does, he can become rather aggressive.
He has an open mind, and wishes to learn more about those around him.
Upon learning that some females like flowers, he has often been seen carrying one from time to time
He can get wet without rusting or becoming destroyed
He has a soft spot of Nicole the Lynx/ AI
Is gentle towards children
He is able to switch his gun hand to a normal hand, though chooses not to by default
Instead of purring, he makes this sort of humming sound))
