EDIT (2013): PLEASE NOTE: the image for this profile is outdated, and I haven't had the proper time (being a full-time college student) to update it again for a while. This design was version 3.5 and my Mace Direwolf 5.0 Colab with Ila Mae is a work in progress but Version 4.0 is complete: If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get!
My Sonic fan-characters live in a fandom expansion of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic series.
Mace is the half-brother of Anti-Knuckles from Anti-Mobius (or the evil parallel dimension version of Mobius, which is Canon btw) not Knuckles himself! This is an old drawing and has not been updated!
EDIT (Nov 5th, 2010):
Finished at last! I managed to squeeze some work in on it when I felt well enough and now it finally done
lol, now I'm thinking of changing his fur color to a burnt Orange color, to make him look less like his brother, but I dunno, it's fine for now I guess.
EDIT (Nov 13th, 2010):
I've cleaned things up a lot (and when i say a lot, I mean everything) and made the shape of his boot soles much more apparent.

A group he contructed from a handful of friends, orphans, outcast and misfits, that operates together as a functional gang of mercenaries, bounty hunters and more. However under-handed their work of choice might seem, they are actually a respectable group of secret Freedom Fighters, who fight for justice, as opposed to the highest bidder.
Sub Occupations:
■ Bodyguard
■ Treasure hunter
■ Title: Malice the Mercenary, Guardian of the Great Desert
■ Aliases (in order received):
Kneecaps (A shortened version of his real first name),
"Little Slug" - A less than flattering nickname given to him by his pirate comrades during one of their indoctrinating procedures.
"One-Punch Luke" - A nickname derived he earned by his consistent ability to overwhelm or down his opponents with a single, brutal punch
"Malice" - A pirate nickname given to him by Captain Dread, during his time captured aboard the Dreadlocke
"Mace" - He prefers to go by his middle name, because he dislikes his real first name
"Red Avenger" - his com-link callsign, derived from his fur color and love of justice
"The Red Rascal" - A nickname given to him by his enemies (most notably Robotnik and his sub-bosses), whom know only the color of his fur and used by those bitter at him because of Mace and his gang's underground operations to encourage rebellion and sabotage their plans.

■ Place of Residence: Prowler HQ inside a dragon's cave on the peak of Sheer Cliff Heights on The Little Planet (the moon above Mobius)
Team Name: The Prowler Gang
A mostly independent and highly covert mercenary gang and Freedom Fighter Group, led and founded by none other then Dead-Eye Mace himself. With their main outpost located near the southern edge of the Great Desert, they act as generous patrons and protectors of the people.
His gang sometimes takes up jobs to act as secret bodyguards of (reasonable) politicians or charitable nobles.
When off-duty, or when the opportunity presents itself, they'll also act as protectors of empoverished villages, fending off robbers, raiders, as well as the forces of Robotnik himself, all free of charge. Being supporters of justice, they're willing to risk their own secrecy to rob from the rich and give to the needy, especially food and supplies.

■ Mace the Echidna (Founder and leader)
■ Amelia the Hedgehog (Co-founder, co-leader, and Mechanical Engineer of the Prowler Gang)
■ Jenna & Lianna Direwolf - Mace's adopted daughters, nicknamed the "Twins" for obviously reasons. Jenna & her sister Lianna are two, young, 4-year-old fox twins that Mace found as orphans, starved and unconscious in the Mobian wilderness. He had promptly taken them home with him, nursed them back to health with the help of his friend Amelia and later adopted them. They're sometimes allowed to perform recon under supervision
■ Kai Malaver the Wolf - Weapons expert and childhood friend of Mace, best friend of Zip Blitzer
■ Zip Blitzer the Hyena - One wild, crazy, and happy-go-lucky Hyena, Zip was born in the southern continent of Downunda (with his family originating in Efrika), later becoming a top-class sprinter & Demolition expert of the Prowler Gang
■ Izo the Black Panther - Knife-throwing expert and Cassi's stoic ninja cousin.
■ Cassiopeia “Cassi” Panthera the Leopard - A truly untamed and rebellious girl, who is Izo's cousin working as the gang's medic. Cassi has established herself as a popular singing saloon belle who can not only hold good notes, but also a fight with just about anybody and is rumored to be a somewhat infamous pickpocket
■ Lyle Schrader the Dingo- A four-year old orphaned Dingo pup, and electronics wiz-kid born under the Dingo Regime on Angel Island.

Personality Traits:
Mace is aggressive and hot-headed, though he tries not to show it much. Probably because, being relatively thick-skinned, he maintains a high tolerance--or so he'd like you to believe; beneath that facade, he's actually quite sensitive. He also tends to be pretty hot-blooded when his passions are involved, so don't be too surprised when he lays down the "ham" in such a situation.
Mace's is quite withdrawn and skeptical when in the presence of someone he dislikes or doesn't know well.
Unless you've earned his trust, it's almost impossible to make him a friend. Mace will only give his trust to those who earn it from him. His trust is hard-earned,
but once it is earned, he become much more open, with his loyalty steadfast and unwavering. (Unless they prove themselves otherwise).
Mace's morality is sound and he holds firm to his honor, believing it to be of the utmost importance. Mace is completely loyal to his beliefs, and follows his own rules and guidelines for behavior faithfully. Mace also has a strong sense of justice. If he sees someone unfairly matched, or being brutaly wounded, he'll most likely intervene.
A bit of a loner at times, Mace tends to be quiet and keeps himself reserved in public --as a safety precaution-- but he'll occasionally show his inner thoughts and personality, although mostly when he's alone with friends. He has a strong handle on his short temper, but you have to be careful when dealing with him, as all Hell will break loose if he reaches his boiling point.
■ If Mace gets angry enough, it could cloud his normally sound judgement as does the presence of anyone he hates. Mace's aggressive personality can also bring this about, but it seldom happens, and it doesn't last long, because for the most part he's quite level-headed.
■ He is hardly outright hating, even toward those who are obviously scum, except like most Echidnas, he is downright hostile towards his natural enemy; Dingoes. Mace's personal grudge against the Dingoes originates from a young age. When he was an infant he was separating his real family by a Dingo raid on his home. He assumes his family were also killed by those same Dingoes.
Underneath his rough exterior, he's a very caring, and an all-around nice guy. This is the most evident when he takes care of his adopted twin daughters, Jenna and Lianna; A pair of 4-year-old twin foxes he adopted when he found them ragged and starving to death in a Mobian jungle. From choosing to don the role of a father at and early age, he worries constantly his adopted daughters, so he's somewhat overprotective of them, and seldom lets them leave his gang's home base (Prowler HQ), even when under supervision.
Notable Weaknesses:
■ Magic
■ Sonics (High-frequency sounds/sound-waves)
■ Electric-based powers
■ Exceptionally attractive women: Mace has a major soft-spot for women in general, who can make his tough-guy act fall apart with ease.

Dark Super Transformation

Chaos Fire Techniques
(Blue and Orange in appearance when he's in his normal form and purple when he enters his Dark form (or if his powers are somehow amplified)
■ Frenzy Fire - A rapid-fire assault of small fireballs from his palms
■ Fire Arrow (only usable in Dark Super Form)
■ Fire Combination (Fiery punch combo)
■ Fire Dunk - A gravity-assisted fireball
■ Chaos Thrusters: Hovering (Mace channels Chaos Fire through the holes in his Jet Boots, in order to achieve lift-off for a short period of time, or to hover over most surfaces, though he might fall if he loses concentration)
■ Jet Charge - A ramming technique where he propels himself into his opponent using his Jet Boots
■ Rocket Round-house
■ Rocket Jump
■ Chaos Fury - Mace assaults the foe with a rapid flurry of fiery punches, then send them skyward with an uppercut, rising with them he'll follow it up with downward two-fist slam to send them careering toward the ground and follow shortly, coming down fist-first on his opponent
■ Anarchy Rupture (Channels the energies in his body when he punches at the ground, sending a fiery shock-wave)
■ Chaos Flare (Mace's personal finisher: He launches himself into the air with a jet-assisted jump, then charges a ball of Chaos Fire between his hands until it becomes too large, then he holds it above his head, then builds it until it's threes time his size and hurls it down at the opponent.)
Forms & States
Super Form: None. Mace's blood has been tainted too far by an evil presence in his body to sustain one. However, he can enter a "hyper mode" at which his agility is greatly increased.
Dark Form: Achieved when his anger peaks while using his powers (However in this state he has much less control over his powers and may even lose track of friend or foe in this state, due to the demon-like entity, that curses him, known to him as "Essence the Dark").
In his Dark Super form Mace is called "True Malice". In this form, Mace's eyes turn a fiery orange, his pupils turn into snake-like slits, and his fur turn a pitch black. The tribal markings on his dreads glow silver, his clothing greys, and his fists are engulfed in Chaos Fire.
Enraged: If Malice's anger is pushed to the limit, but he doesn't have the energy to sustain his Dark Form, he may blindly attack anyone in range, friend or foe alike.

This is simply awesome! The sheer detail with regards to his abilities/forms and even personal bios for Mace are very detailed and make him out to be a real person-er-echidna! With regards to the picture itself- very well done on the emblem on the wall as well as the sheer details on his outfit...and you can draw/colour guns (I can't to save my life DX). It's looks as though he is looking at someone off the set and tipping his hat with a friendly "good day to ye ma'am" although his gun says "dun mess with me or you're in for a world of hurt! Well done!
