What is Sonic's historical biography?

Like his personality suggests, Sonic the Hedgehog is a guy who never focuses on the past. He always moves forward; physically, and mentally. So it doesn't take an IQ of 300 to figure out that Sonic's history is a mystery to everyone.

Although Sonic was born at Christmas Island, Sonic's favorite place to go was South Island. It was one of the few regions that contained ring portals that gave access to the different dimensions that held very special and omnipotent gems known as the Chaos Emeralds. More than likely, though, he was never concerned with any of that.

Sonic liked nothing more than to just lie back on the beach of South Island and listen to music. Sonic loved rock music the most and was even singer in his own rock band as a vocalist. He loved hanging out with his friends, but he enjoyed just as much to be alone and wander the lands aimlessly, in endless search for adventure.

Sonic would be enjoying himself were it not for the endless amount of wicked plots to take over the world that his arch nemesis, Dr. Robotnik (or as he is more commonly addressed, Dr. Eggman) had up his sleeve. But in the end, Sonic always managed to outsmart Dr. Robotnik, earning celebrity status across the entire world (most of it, anyway), revered as a hero and loved by all. All was well until Eggman came up with his best plan yet upon hearing the stories of the Chaos Emeralds…

Dr. Robotnik vowed to get the Chaos Emeralds and soon built a giant metal fortress, constructing an army of various types of robots to go out and search for the Chaos Emeralds. He knew those emeralds could be used to make devastating nuclear weapons or things of the like. They'd be perfect for taking over the world. But Sonic, ever the hero, stood up against Dr. Robotnik and eventually managed to defeat the robots and Eggman; cornering them in the fortress they came from, and told them never to come back out. Eggman sulked in defeat, but still vowed that he would get the Chaos Emeralds and exact his revenge on Sonic.

Since then, Sonic has always ended up having to save the world or somebody from Dr. Robotnik's clutches. And along the way, Sonic has made many, many friends and nearly as many enemies. But saving the world is a mere distraction, since right after that, Sonic is off to his next adventure! It's the only way to live life without regrets!
