Appearance

Vultro is a small, light-brown fennec fox with distinctive white tufts of fur on his chest and tail. The tips of his long ears and tail are dark brown, and he has messy, medium-short white hair that falls between his ears. His eyes are a soft blue-grey.

He bears a strong resemblance to his father, Obelus the Fox.

Vultro typically wears a minimalist outfit: white gloves and a pair of red-and-blue high-top sneakers. This is an intentional homage to his childhood idol, Sonic the Hedgehog.

Personality

Vultro is fiercely adventurous, driven by a deep-rooted desire to explore unknown places and uncover hidden truths. This wanderlust runs in his blood--he comes from a long line of explorers that take pride in continuing the family tradition.

Impulsive by nature, Vultro often leaps before he looks, sometimes to his detriment. He struggles to consider the long-term consequences of his actions, and his decisions, while earnest, can lead to trouble. He can also be emotionally distant or aloof, taking a long time to warm up to new people.

Beneath the impulsiveness and aloofness lies a loyal and protective heart. Vultro deeply cares for those closest to him, particularly his sisters Raven the Gray Wolf and Jenny the Fox. His love for them runs deep, and he’s willing to risk everything to keep them safe--even when his recklessness makes things harder in the long run.

History

Childhood

Vultro was born on South Island on 0 ABV, to Obelus and Lily Zeridia. At the age of four, his parents mysteriously vanished without a trace. He was taken in by his aunt, Asha the Fox, and raised on West Side Island. Asha, fearing that the Zeridia bloodline was somehow cursed, never told Vultro the full story of his parents' disappearance. Her growing fear that Vultro might be next kept her emotionally distant.

Shortly after his eighth birthday, feeling isolated and unwanted, Vultro ran away. He took shelter in a cave near Green Hill Zone, where he spent his days exploring the nearby terrain. It was here that he met a mysterious gray wolf named Raven the Gray Wolf, who had also been exploring the cave systems. The two bonded quickly.

Soon after, Green Hill Zone was attacked by a Badnik army (Sonic the Hedgehog). Vultro and Raven narrowly escaped thanks to Raven’s knowledge of interdimensional travel, retreating into the Sol Dimension until the danger had passed. This incident forged a lasting friendship between the two, with Raven becoming Vultro's first true companion.

By the age of thirteen, Vultro had begun to involve himself in greater adventures. Alongside his friend Wreck the Fox, he helped stop a local robot uprising--an event considered his first real heroic act (The Secret of Robots). The details of this incident have since been lost, making it the subject of much speculation.

Planet Eilaela

Eager to pursue his passion for exploration, Vultro spent the next two years collaborating with the eccentric Techtown scientist Tracker the Dog. Together, they built a functional spacecraft. With the promise of adventure, Vultro convinced eight of his friends to accompany him on a voyage to the tropical planet Ethos. Though there were doubts about the ship’s safety, Tracker provided a certification of inspection to ease concerns.

However, the journey did not go as planned. The spacecraft crash-landed on a nearby world known as Eilaela. There, Vultro discovered that his presumed-dead father, Obelus, had a sinister alter ego—Solidus—and that Solidus was still alive. Even more shocking, he learned that his friends Raven the Gray Wolf and Jenny the Fox were actually his half-sisters.

This revelation changed the course of his life, prompting Vultro to reconnect with his family and uncover the secrets of the Zeridia bloodline. He also grew close to Annalee the Cat, daughter of his cousin Darcy the Fox, who had quietly watched over him for years on Asha’s request.

Let's Go to Ethos

Shortly after Planet Etheria, Vultro began seeking a more reliable way to reach the planet Ethos, hoping to complete the mission he originally intended years earlier. While asking around for transportation, he was overheard by a young leopard named Lilah the Leopard, a native of Ethos. Intrigued by his story, and perhaps by Vultro himself, Lilah offered to take him there personally. This chance meeting marked the beginning of their partnership, both romantic and exploratory.

See: Let's Go to Ethos (story).

Planet Etheria

In late 18 ABV, Vultro and Lilah detect a massive energy spike in deep space--far beyond anything they had encountered before. Following the source, they discovered a new planet that had re-emerged into the universe after a long absence: Etheria.

Upon arrival, they found themselves mixed up in an interstellar conflict. A villanous faction called The Horde, led by Horde Prime, sought to reclaim Etheria and absorb its ancient magic into its empire. Vultro and Lilah allied with the planet’s defenders--a group of humans including Adora, Catra, and the Princess Alliance--to resist Prime’s conquest.

Though initially out of their depth, Vultro's speed and cleverness proved vital in disrupting Horde communications, while Lilah’s tactical instincts helped fortify Etheria’s defenses. The battle tested their bond, and by the end of the campaign, they left Etheria forever changed, with new allies and a broader understanding of the multiverse’s fragility.

Vultro and the Spider-Women

Not long after the events on Etheria, Vultro began tracking a fugitive known as Despara--an apparent clone of Adora from an alternate reality that had attacked Etheria. His pursuit led him and Lilah to discover Earth-7642, an unstable nexus point connecting countless universes together.

They quickly uncover a plot by Dr. Robotnik, who had traveled to the 21st century to collect a powerful and mysterious set of gems called the Infinity Stones. Realizing the scale of the threat, Vultro allied with local hero Morgan Jade Watson, who had recently acquired spider-like powers.

With MJ’s help, the trio sought to track Despara and stop Robotnik’s time-meddling before it could alter history irreversibly. The mission drew in other Spider-Women and culminated in a chaotic, high-stakes clash atop Oscorp Tower. The group, however, ultimately fails to stop Robotnik from obtaining the last Infinity Stone.

Vultro Meets Shizuka Joestar!

At the climax of Vultro and the Spider-Women, Robotnik successfully gathered the Infinity Stones. Despite Vultro and co.'s best efforts, he activates the stones. The resulting surge--the Dreamcast Wave--shattered dimensional boundaries and began a slow-motion incursion event across countless realities.

Vultro, still stranded in the 21st century, watched in horror as the skyline of New York City fractured like glass. Buildings shimmered, timelines overlapped, and anomalies surged across the sky. In the chaos, two unfamiliar figures materialized: Shizuka Joestar, and her brother Josuke Higashikata, thrown violently into the Vultroverse from their own timeline.

The meeting was accidental, but not without purpose. Shizuka and Vultro quickly realized that the Dreamcast Wave was creating a cascading breakdown of cause and effect. Alternate versions of familiar places blinked in and out of existence. Entire planets phased through one another. Together, they investigated the origin point--Robotnik’s Snap--and worked to untangle the metaphysical consequences.

While Josuke stayed behind in an effort to protect civilians in the city, Shizuka teamed up with Vultro to try and stabilize the wave. Their brief but intense partnership introduced Vultro to the concept of Stands, metaphysical manifestations of a person’s will.

Sadly, Vultro and Shizuka fail to undo the events in time, fading from reality at the end of the story.

Shoten Showdown

The year is now 110 ABV. Long after the Dreamcast Wave, the timeline had quietly fractured.

In a version of the future later called the Bad Future, Solidus rose to power unchecked. Vultro had disappeared many decades earlier under mysterious circumstances, and no one remained to oppose his conquest. The Zeridia family fell into obscurity--scattered, hunted, and forgotten.

But one descendant refused to let the legacy die.

Sylvie Summers, the great-granddaughter of Raven, uncovered the truth: the timeline had branched due to an unresolved paradox, and her present was not inevitable. She traced the divergence back to the untimely death of Vultro and discovered hints of the existence of the Dreamcast Wave. With this knowledge, she constructed a prototype timewatch and set out to fix what had been broken.

Rather than simply saving Vultro, Sylvie traveled to key points in time and recruited three generations of the Zeridia line:

Archmund Zeridia, Vultro’s great-grandfather and a pioneer of early energy technology.

Obelus Zeridia, Vultro’s father and the origin of the family’s complicated legacy.

And Vultro himself, weeks before the initial chain of events that started with Planet Etheria.

Together, the Zeridia bloodline formed a temporal strike team with one goal: defeat Solidus and undo the chain of destruction he had set into motion.

Their final battle took place outside the normal flow of time—an abstract, collapsing realm where history, memory, and identity all blurred. In the end, Sylvie and her ancestors succeeded in defeating Solidus, erasing the Bad Future and stabilizing the timeline. The paradox that had claimed Vultro's life was undone, allowing him to survive and return to his own time.

Sylvie, having fulfilled her mission, faded back into possibility—her existence technically overwritten, yet preserved by the ripple of her actions.

Relationships

• Raven the Gray Wolf: Vultro’s first and oldest friend, Raven has been by his side since childhood. They met in the caves beneath Green Hill Zone when Vultro was just eight years old and quickly became inseparable. She helped him escape a Badnik invasion by guiding him into the Sol Dimension, saving his life. Years later, during the events of Planet Eilaela, they would discover they were half-siblings—both children of Obelus. That revelation only deepened their bond. Vultro trusts Raven more than almost anyone and often turns to her for counsel.

• Jenny the Fox: Vultro met Jenny shortly after meeting Raven. She was another traveler to the Sol Dimension, and the three of them formed a tight-knit group. During their time on Eilaela, Jenny and Vultro learned they were also half-siblings. Though their relationship began as a friendship, the family connection made it stronger. Jenny is one of the few people who can read Vultro’s emotional state even when he tries to hide it.

• Wreck the Fox: Wreck’s chaotic nature contrasts sharply with Vultro’s idealism, but the two share a mutual respect. They first met when Vultro was 13, and bonded while stopping a localized robot uprising—Vultro’s first recorded adventure. Wreck and his partner Frankie the Bat later joined Vultro on the Ethos expedition, where they uncovered Wreck had a hidden connection to the Sol Dimension. Though their dynamic is sometimes volatile, they remain close allies.

• Mackenzie the Tiger: Vultro encountered Mackenzie—"Mac"—on the surface of Eilaela, where he was researching unstable energy signatures. Initially a loner who didn’t quite mesh with the group, Mac was brought into the fold by Shimmer the Hedgehog, who helped bridge the social gap. Mac would later prove crucial in the final battle against Solidus. Vultro respects his analytical mind and considers him a quiet but steadfast ally.

• Lilah the Leopard: Adventurous, outspoken, and warmhearted, Lilah captivated Vultro from the moment they met. Their relationship began during Let’s Go to Ethos, and deepened through shared experiences, especially during the battle for Etheria and the multiversal chaos of the Dreamcast Wave. She is not just Vultro’s partner in romance but his equal in exploration. In the Good Future timeline, the two are married and have two children: Lily Raven and Eltra.

• Shizuka Joestar: An interdimensional visitor pulled into the Vultroverse during the Dreamcast Wave, Shizuka shared an intense, albeit brief, partnership with Vultro. Her calm intellect and Stand knowledge were critical in helping him navigate the metaphysical chaos of the incursion. Though their time together was short, Shizuka left a lasting impression on Vultro—especially her thoughts on destiny and the burden of legacy.

• Mary Jane Watson: While in the 21st century, Vultro crossed paths with Mary Jane, who had recently developed spider powers. The two fought side-by-side during the conflict with Robotnik. MJ’s no-nonsense attitude and sharp instincts impressed Vultro, and the pair quickly developed a rapport. She became a bridge between him and the unfamiliar culture of the past, and her help was instrumental in delaying Robotnik’s acquisition of the Infinity Stones.

Abilities

Vultro is not a traditional fighter; his strengths lie in speed, adaptability, and resourcefulness. These traits, combined with the latent power of the Shoten Crystal and later metaphysical phenomena, make him a formidable—if unconventional—hero.

Natural Abilities

Since early childhood, Vultro has trained his body more through exploration than combat. He is the fastest and most dexteritous among his peers, capable of scaling vertical cliffs, navigating dense jungle, and sprinting across difficult terrain with ease. His small, lightweight frame allows him to slip through tight spaces and move with remarkable agility.

While he dislikes violence, Vultro is not defenseless. He often avoids direct confrontation in favor of outmaneuvering his enemies, using speed, quick thinking, or even environmental manipulation to escape or disarm foes.

Vultro has a critical weakness: he cannot swim. He sinks like a stone in water and will instinctively panic when submerged.

Shoten Form

The Shoten Form is a powerful transformation triggered by the Shoten Crystal, a mysterious artifact discovered on the planet Eilaela. When activated, the crystal channels its energy into the user's body, enhancing physical capabilities far beyond normal limits.

In Shoten Form:

• Vultro’s speed and strength are massively amplified.
• His fur glows violet, and his chest fur turns a gleaming platinum white.
• He gains limited flight via levitation.
• He can move fast enough to generate low-pressure zones, creating vacuums in enclosed areas.

Unlike a traditional "Super" form, Shoten Form does not grant full invincibility. Though enhanced, the user remains vulnerable to close-range attacks and exhaustion if the transformation is held too long.

Originally thought to be limited to foxes of Vultro’s bloodline, the form was later used by his half-sister Raven and eventually by his descendants. This led to the discovery that the crystal had been enchanted centuries ago by Vulpe Remedius, an ancient fennec fox who encoded the crystal’s magic to respond only to those carrying fennec genetics—his way of preventing misuse.

Weaknesses

Though powerful and quick, Vultro has several key limitations:

• Aversion to Combat: Vultro is not a natural fighter and actively avoids conflict when possible. His distaste for violence can leave him vulnerable in situations where force is required.

• Physical Fragility: Compared to many of his allies and enemies, Vultro lacks brute strength and endurance. If he’s caught off guard or cornered, he can be overpowered quickly.

• Reliance on Speed: His entire fighting style hinges on mobility. If grounded, restrained, or disoriented, Vultro is at a major disadvantage.

• Cannot Swim: Perhaps his most notorious weakness—Vultro sinks instantly in water and has no swimming ability. He experiences instinctual panic when submerged, making water-based environments especially dangerous.

• Overexertion in Shoten Form: Prolonged use of Shoten Form puts immense strain on his body. If pushed too far, it risks collapse or unconsciousness.

Trivia

• Vultro’s full name is Vultro Milo Zeridia, as confirmed by his aunt Asha.
  • His name is a combination of the Latin words vulpe (fox) and volare (to fly), and the suffix -tro (having to do with electricity or technology.) Roughly, it means "the fox that flows like a spark."
• He was the very first character created in the Vultroverse, created on May 10th, 2013.
• His modern design was created by artist Courtney Thomas, who also modernized the appearance of his sister, Raven the Gray Wolf.
• Despite being fast, Vultro has a terrible sense of direction and often gets lost mid-adventure.
• His distaste for combat is said to be inspired by his creator's belief in nonviolence and softness as a strength.
