Hawk

Hawk (ホーク) is a teenaged American pilot and the last new playable character to be introduced to the Sonic Wings series.

Description[]

Hawk is intended to be the main character of Sonic Wings Assault, taking the place of Blaster Keaton in the previous games. "Hawk" is a pseudonym, and his real name is never revealed.^[1] ek is the only Sonic Wings character whose appearance differs between the Japanese and US versions of the games.

In the Japanese version of Sonic Wings Assault, Hawk has long white hair worn in a ponytail tied with a red ribbon. The game manual describes his "cat-like" green eyes and his sharp teeth as his "charm points." Hawk's left ear is pierced with two small silver hoop earrings. He wears a tight blue shirt, white pants, and brown leather straps around his neck, legs, ankles, and wrists.

In the US version of the game, Aero Fighters Assault, Hawk has deep blue eyes, a straight and rather large nose, and golden-brown hair, which he wears spiky but combed back. He also has a prominent widow's peak. This version of Hawk wears a leather jacket with a red shirt under it.

The character of Hawk was originally intended to be the son of Randy, Captain Silver's lost war comrade, and to be strongly attached to Silver. However, Hawk's design was changed, and this plot line was abandoned.^[2]

Sonic Wings Assault[]

Hawk was working hard as a trainee in the Project Blue Aircraft Unit. He was trying to keep his competitive nature under control... He worked harder than anyone else in his class to improve his skills. Thanks to his efforts, he was always top of his class.

His instructor's favorite phrase was, "You're still just a little kid!" Hawk hated it.

"If I ever get the chance, I'll save the world and make him recognize my abilities!" That has become Hawk's dream. Now the world is in crisis.

"I'm invincible!" Hawk says, overcoming the opposition of those around him and taking off...

Hawk is the youngest member of Project Blue, serving as an apprentice on its combat team. He is both brilliant and a bit arrogant due to his youth and great abilities. The game manual describes him as being cheerful but "hot-blooded" and hating to lose. His motivation for participating is to prove himself. In the US version of the game, he is cocky and rather sarcastic, and he most often speaks in stereotypical surfer slang.

Like Volk, Hawk prefers air-to-air combat. The game manual states that as a wingman, Hawk is a "good guy" who cares about his allies, and will cover for them if they go into combat.

Hawk is voiced by Tsutomu Takayama in the Japanese version and Matt Edwards in the US version.
