Building off on your answer to msfeleciarondo question, how do you see Sonic moral code exactly? Cause it has varied a lot between different interpretations of the character along with his moral code even being a bit inconsistent within the modern games.
DISCLAIMER: These are not any sort of "Official Rules of Sonic", it's just some guidelines I've made for myself based on observation of the source material, and what makes me happy.
My favorite touchstones for Sonic's morals are Sonic and the Black Knight, and his theme song It Doesn't Matter.
Sonic isn't interested in discovering an empirical version of morality, or with the laws and mores of society. His one and only guide is his own instinct, and his rules are simple:
You can do whatever you like, as long as it's not hurting others or the natural world.
Don't mourn or fight natural change.
Treat others with empathy (this is the one he most often falls short of, his own ego getting in the way... but hey he's trying!).
Offer second chances. If someone has even the slightest chance of becoming kinder or happier, give them the opportunity.
And of course, anybody who opposes or disregards these rules gets a shiny red boot to the face.
That's how I'd boil it down right now, and these are the rules I follow when I'm writing him for work. One more important thing is that Sonic is reactive, not proactive. He'll answer a call for help of course, but otherwise, he waits for trouble to come to him or comes upon it by coincidence.
(GOTF Sonic has some of these principles flipped; he mourns change, is very proactive, and can be quite merciless. It started as an oversight on my part, but as I got older and learned more about the character it became a very useful tool for exploring Sonic's limits).
