Personality:
Unlike other Black Arms soldiers, Eclipse is an individual
capable of independent thought and decision without the guidance
of a hive mind. Despite this, he is fiercely loyal to his race,
but was also, initially, surprisingly benevolent where Shadow
was concerned. Whereas Black Death felt that Shadow should be
destroyed for his role in the destruction of Black Doom and the
first Black Comet, Eclipse wished to reclaim his "brother" to
the cause of the Black Arms. After Shadow turned against the
Black Arms again and killed Black Death, Eclipse developed an
intense hatred for him, vowing that his revenge on the black
hedgehog would be worse than death itself.
Eclipse has a slight childlike mentality, which he demonstrates
by constantly disobeying his "father" Black Death and even
throws small fits when things don't go his way. Ironically, he
soon found himself in a "parent" role to the Dark Arms, as he
was the only being who could help them survive and thrive. He is
not without admiration for "lesser beings," but considers them
unworthy of continued existence due to his perception that they
are beyond redemption.
He later renounced his vow after being saved by White Blaze,
deciding that if someone who could kill him at any moment was
kind enough to save him and then offer a home; that everyone
deserves more than one chance.
Powers/Abilities:
Eclipse possesses a number of potent abilities, including Chaos
Control powers and a connection to the Black Arms' hive mind
that he was able to use to invade Shadow's mind. Even after the
demise of the other Black Arms, he remained capable of mentally
contacting Shadow, and used his power to induce visions in hopes
of setting his "brother" off balance.
Eclipse is rather physically weak, but he can overcome this by
transforming into a larger version of himself called Monster
Form. The transformation gives Eclipse enhanced physical
strength and increased durability, but has the drawback of
burning through Eclipse's metabolism, causing him to be unable
to maintain the transformation for long periods of time,
especially in heavy combat. After reverting back to his normal
self, Eclipse is left physically drained and unable to move
properly. This form is evidently a shell, as Shadow was able to
knock Eclipse's normal self out of it.
Eclipse can prevent Shadow from using Chaos Control through an
unknown method. Usage of the Master Emerald is enough to
override this ability, thus allowing the use of Chaos Control
again.
Recently Eclipse has been shown to be able to use the Dark Arms
in a similar manner as Sonic using the Wisps, except the Dark
Arms have only partially changed Eclipse's form instead of a
complete change like Sonic (I.E.: instead of becoming bird-like,
Eclipse's arms change to resemble bird wings while the rest of
his body is unchanged)
Weakness:
Physically weak
Worries about the Dark Arms when he’s not there to protect them
Unable to keep Monster form under heavy fire due to metabolism
Dark Arm powers are like wisp powers, do not last long.
Backstory in Short:
In his home zone:
Eclipse was created after the demise of Black Doom and the
first Black Comet- his purpose being to destroy Shadow. To that
end he was given the ability to function independent of the hive
mind and make decisions of his own. One of his first was to
propose an experiment that delayed the New Black Comet's arrival
on Mobius, and which produced the Dark Arms. As Team Dark and
the Spider Troupe arrived on the comet, he conversed with Black
Death, who informed him that he would have to fulfill his
purpose. When an ambush of Black Arms gained the upper hand
against Shadow, Eclipse called off the attack and revealed
himself to his "brother." He explained to Shadow that they were
in a sense the same-the most powerful incarnations of Black Arms
biology.
Shadow attempted to fight Eclipse only to find that his Chaos
Control was being blocked off somehow. Using telepathy, Eclipse
showed Shadow what happened after Black Doom's defeat and
revealed that the details of his creation. Eclipse attempted to
convince Shadow to join the Black Arms and betray his comrades,
but Shadow refused. Black Death comes to assist Eclipse and
together they successfully brainwashed Shadow into joining their
side. Black Death commanded the two to kill Shadow's allies and
capture the nuclear weapon they had brought with them to him.
Black Death's intent was to use it on Mobius after they finished
their harvest.
While Shadow fought Omega and Rouge, Eclipse went after the
Spider Troupe and knocked them out so that they might be used as
nourishment for the Dark Arms. Things seemed to be going well,
but the tables turned when Omega and Rouge broke the Black Arms'
hold on Shadow. Ordered not to let their enemies retrieve the
bomb by Black Death, Eclipse was furious to hear that Shadow and
his friends were in the Dark Arms' nursery, but Black Death
assured him that the Dark Arms were unharmed.
Later, Eclipse fought Omega and Rouge in order to prevent them
from retrieving the bomb. Eclipse gained the upper hand by
transforming, but quickly reverted to his previous form after
over-exerting himself. After arming the bomb, Omega and Rouge
made their escape, and Black Death ordered Eclipse to leave on
the escape pod along with the Dark Arms larvae. Eclipse refused
and attempted to disarm the bomb to no avail, forcing Black
Death to have Death's Eye drag Eclipse to the escape pod.
Eclipse begged Black Death to let him go and admitted that he
was right about destroying Shadow. To his horror, Death's Eye
became lifeless, signifying that Black Death had been killed by
Shadow. Enraged, Eclipse swore revenge on Shadow as he crashed
onto the planet below.
Landing on Angel Island, Eclipse started planting strange
looking plants at Mushroom Hill. Relic the Pika and Fixit, who
were guarding the island for Knuckles the Echidna while he was
looking for a "weakened spirit", detected the energy of the
plants and went to investigate, unaware that Eclipse was
watching them. The Darkling returned to the crash site of the
ship with fruit he had grown from the plants, which was meant to
sustain the only four Dark Arms specimens to have hatched:
Blurk, Cyzer, Cregal, and Rhygenta. Knowing that the fruit would
only keep his new family alive, not make them any stronger, he
pondered a means of accomplishing this task. After sensing the
arrival of Team Dark on the island, he reached out mentally to
plague Shadow with troubling visions.
Eclipse soon set out to lay claim to the Master Emerald in
order to increase his power and that of the Dark Arms. In the
process, he ended up in a battle with Shadow, and used his
transformation abilities to great effect against his hated
rival. However, using the Emerald's power himself, Shadow froze
Eclipse in monster form with Chaos Control, and proceeded to hit
him with a barrage of attacks. He finished the assault with a
Chaos Blast, which sent Eclipse's normal body flying out of his
monster form and onto the horizon. After landing, Eclipse
berated himself for his loss when he noticed Rouge, Omega and
Knuckles the Echidna flying overhead. Worried about the safety
of the Dark Arms, Eclipse used Chaos Control to teleport away.
After learning that the Dark Arms were indeed safe, Eclipse
became even more determiend to seize the Master Emerald, and was
surprised when the Dark Arms pleaded to be taken along with him.
Together, the five aliens marched on the Master Emerald Shrine,
where they found Shadow's teammates along with a Tele-Pod
broadcasting Dr. Julian Snively's voice and image, along with
Knuckles' allies Relic the Pika and Fixit. Shadow and Knuckles
were absent, their argument over whether to relocate the Master
Emerald to keep it from Eclipse having escalated into physical
battle. Eclipse took full advantage of the opportunity to
demonstrate the power of the Dark Arms, first fusing with Blurk
in order to gain armor that protected him from Omega's weaponry
and allowed him to rip out the robot's Chaos Drive. He then
employed Cregal to challenge Rouge in an aerial battle, before
using Cyzer to destroy Snively's Tele-Pod. With Relic and Pika
unable to challenge them, Eclipse and the Dark Arms seized the
Master Emerald and, having learned of Team Dark's shuttle by
threatening Relic, began making their way to the Launch Base.
Eclipse's progress was impeded as his adversaries activated
many of the island's defenses to block his path through the
desert of Sandopolis Zone. Despite facing such obstacles as a
stone creature, Eclipse managed to triumph using the powers of
the three Dark Arms he had employed previously. However, his
luck ran out as Knuckles and Shadow, who had been contacted by
their allies, caught up with him and the Dark Arms. Weary from
battle, the trio of Dark Arms he had been using couldn't last,
but Rhygenta intervened to give Eclipse the power of the Sonic
Cannon. However, Knuckles put an end to Eclipse's aspirations by
using Tikal's Prayer to shatter the Master Emerald and scatter
its fragments across Mobius. Weakened and left without his
prize, Eclipse contented himself with fleeing with the Dark Arms
aboard Team Dark's shuttle, which he ended up crash-landing in a
swamp on the planet's surface.
It was months later when Eclipse and the Dark Arms were
discovered and a fight inside between him and Shadow. When the
fight got to the point where he was about to be killed, White
Blaze stepped in and saved him and the Dark Arms.
In Torch Zone:
So far he’s been unconscious in the Void.
Extra:
Yes, this a majority of this was copied from his wiki. I’m
lazy.
