==Appearance== | ==Appearance== | ||
Vultro | Vultro is a tall, slender fennec fox, a species of fox known for their small size and very large ears. He resembles his father Obelus, also a fennec fox. His fur is mostly a cream color, with white fur on his chest and tail and dark brown on the tips of his ears and tail. He has blue-grey eyes and messy white hair that falls between his ears. | ||

Despite this, he is incredibly caring towards his close friends and family, particularly to his sisters [[Raven the Gray Wolf]] and [[Jenny the Fox]]. He is willing to do anything to protect them, even if his short-sighted decisions end up getting him into further trouble. | |||

Vultro | |||
=== Childhood === | |||
Vultro does not talk much about his early childhood. He was born on South Island, the only child to Obelus and Lily Zeridia. At the age of four, his parents disappeared overnight under mysterious circumstances. He was raised by his aunt [[Asha the Fox|Asha]] on West Side Island, never being told exactly what happened to his parents. Confused and feeling abandoned by his parents for his childhood, he ran away shortly after his eighth birthday. | |||
Unbeknownst to him, Asha had been preoccupied with the fear that the family was cursed, and that she or Vultro was next in line. When she learned of him running away, she had mixed feelings. Of course she wanted to continue protecting him, but being off the grid would only keep him safer from any would-be attackers. She decided to ask her cousin [[Darcy the Fox|Darcy]] to find him and keep eye on him over the next few years. | |||
Vultro decided to live in a small cave near Green Hill Zone. He began to get familiar with the area and explore. Weeks later, barely settled in to his new home, he would witness an invasion of a Badnik army on the island. (''Sonic the Hedgehog'') A [[Raven the Gray Wolf|new friend]], who he met while exploring the caves of Green Hill, managed to help him escape into the [https://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Blaze%27s_world Sol dimension] until it was safe to return. This incident ended up making Vultro and Raven instant best friends. | |||
At the age of thirteen, Vultro helped his friend [[Wreck the Fox]] stop a local robot uprising, something that could be considered his first real adventure. The story documenting the adventure has since been lost, leaving many details uncertain. | |||

Itching for more adventure, Vultro spent the next two years working with Techtown scientist [[Tracker the Dog]]. They would construct a spacecraft, convincing eight of Vultro's friends to ride with him on a visit to the tropical planet [[Ethos]]. Though some were reluctant to ride in the craft, Tracker assured them of its safety and provided an inspection certificate. The events that followed have been documented in [[Planet Eilaela (story)]]. | |||
After crash landing on Eilaela he discovers that Solidus, the evil alter ego of his father, is still alive. He also discovers that Raven is his half-sister, along with his other friend [[Jenny the Fox]]. This inspires him to resume contact with his family and learn more about their history. He became particularly close with Darcy's daughter [[Annalee the Cat]]. | |||

Glass Animal (Stand)
Vultro the Fox (ボルトロ・ザ・フォックス Borutoro za Fokkusu) is a fennec fox that debuted in the story Planet Eilaela, the first character created from the Vultroverse.
Appearance
Vultro is a tall, slender fennec fox, a species of fox known for their small size and very large ears. He resembles his father Obelus, also a fennec fox. His fur is mostly a cream color, with white fur on his chest and tail and dark brown on the tips of his ears and tail. He has blue-grey eyes and messy white hair that falls between his ears.
His usual attire is minimal-- a pair of white gloves and colorful high-top sneakers. This is in emulation of his role model, Sonic the Hedgehog.
Personality
Vultro is quite adventurous, never shying from the opportunity to explore a new location or planet. He comes from a long line of explorers and adventurers dating back generations, and he follows this tradition with a passion.
He has a tendency to be short-sighted and impulsive. He more often than not does not think of the consequences of his actions, which can land him in trouble. He can also be quite aloof, being very slow to open up to new friends and acquaintances.
Despite this, he is incredibly caring towards his close friends and family, particularly to his sisters Raven the Gray Wolf and Jenny the Fox. He is willing to do anything to protect them, even if his short-sighted decisions end up getting him into further trouble.

Of course she wanted to continue protecting him, but being off the grid would only keep him safer from any would-be attackers.

(Sonic the Hedgehog) A new friend, who he met while exploring the caves of Green Hill, managed to help him escape into the Sol dimension until it was safe to return. This incident ended up making Vultro and Raven instant best friends.
At the age of thirteen, Vultro helped his friend Wreck the Fox stop a local robot uprising, something that could be considered his first real adventure. The story documenting the adventure has since been lost, leaving many details uncertain.

Bad Future
Years later, in a desperate last resort to defeat Solidus, Vultro travels through time to collect his grandfather, great-grandfather, and a younger version of himself. They plan to combine the Infinity Emeralds with the Shoten Crystal to erase Solidus once and for all. However, Solidus turns this around on them by setting a trap and killing the younger Vultro. This creates an alternate timeline in which no one is left to stop Solidus' rise to power. This altered timeline begins a chain of events that eventually destroys the future of the Zeridia family.
In the far future of this alternate timeline, Raven's great-granddaughter Sylvie Summers traces the events of her family's hardship back to that battle. Traveling through time herself with a homemade time watch, she manages to save Vultro by sacrificing herself instead. This unwinds the bad future, paradoxically undoing her own death in creating the new Good Future.
Good Future
With the timeline restored and the "bad future" erased, Vultro would go on to marry Lilah, later having two children: Lily Raven the Leopard, and Eltra the Fox.

- Raven the Gray Wolf: Being his first and oldest friend, Vultro is very close to Raven. They met in Green Hill Zone when he was eight, and were soon best friends. She is the first one Vultro asks to go on the adventure to Ethos. They later discover that they are half-siblings, sharing a father.

Abilities
Since a young age, Vultro has been honing his running skills. He is the fastest out of all his friends, and his light build allows him to jump high, scale tall obstacles, and fit into tight spaces. He is not a big fan of hand-to-hand combat, and if forced to fight his speed is usually his biggest strength.
Shoten Form
Using the power of the Shoten crystal, a mysterious stone found on the planet Eilaela, Vultro can assume a more powerful form. Comparable to a Super form, Vultro gains a massive boost in speed and strength, and the ability to float. Unlike a Super form, however, the user is still vulnerable to some close-range attacks. His fur glows a bright shade of purple, and his chest fur turns a platinum color. Additionally, he becomes fast enough to create a vacuum around an enclosed space, effectively suffocating anyone inside.
It was thought for years that only foxes in Vultro's family were capable of taking on this form, until it was discovered that Vultro's sister Raven, a wolf, could as well. Later, both of his children also managed to take this form.

Stand
After meeting Shizuka Joestar and learning about the existence of Stands, Vultro inquires whether it would be possible for him to obtain one. Shizuka explains that according to her brother Josuke, it is highly dangerous to expose oneself to the virus that triggers the emergence of a Stand, as it can easily kill him.

Due to the uncertainty of whether Vultro would survive the virus, he never actually went through with exposing himself to it. However, the sample would later be stolen by Jason Johansson, and released into the Vultroverse.
Weaknesses
Since he is not keen to fight unless absolutely necessary, he can be overpowered in battle by brute strength. This is especially true the faster his enemies are, as he relies heavily on his speed as an advantage. He is also incapable of swimming, sinking to the bottom of any body of water.
