Ashura the Hedgehog 2

This is a new version of Ashura that I GIMPed. I think that this version looks much more kick-butt than my original re-render.

I also decided to update my version of his back story:

Ashura is an orphan raised on the streets. He is a thief, and believes in honour among thieves. With time, this gradually extends to those he trusts.

Ashura is cunning, and adept at puzzles, seeing as he has to sneak into places. His stealth abilities are just shy of being on par with Espio's. He is quick, though cannot break the sound barrier. His strength, though not on Knuckles' level, is still relatively high for a hedgehog.

Ashura's weak spot is children, and he'll defend the young with his very life.

I hope that this is better than my last one, and I would enjoy hearing what you think.
