Orichalcum The Thorny Lizard

Description

This is a Sonic fancharacter of mine based on the thorny lizard design in my previous deviation. Here is some information about him:

Name: Orichalcum
Namesake: Orichalcum was the name of a legendary metal told of in several ancient writings. According to Critias, orichalcum was a red metal of high value found and mined in Atlantis.
Nickname: "Ori" (Often preferred, since his whole name is long and unweildy to pronounce).
Species: Thorny lizard
Gender: Male
Age: 18 years old
Height: 96.5 centimeters (3 feet, and 2 inches)
Weight: 34 kilograms (75 pounds)
Special Abilities: When compared to Sonic and Knuckles, he is neither especially fast nor strong. Instead, he relies on a different special ability to win fights: he can dehydrate objects by touching them. By grabbing an opponent, he can drain the water from their body in order to weaken them. However, this dessication process is far from instant, and it takes a longer time to dry out a larger opponent. This technique does not work on robots. (Notes: This power is based on the thorny lizard's natural ability to soak up water from the ground by standing in it. Orichalcum simply has an amplified version of his ability. He can even use the technique while his gloves are on, since they are porous).
Physical Description: Orichalcum's dark red body is adorned with spines; seven adorn the perimeter of his head, while two smaller spines are above his eyes. He has one, upwardly-curving spine on his back. A row of three spines lines his tail. He has orange eyes. He wears thin, gray, flexible gloves that are porous to moisture. His gray, strapped sneakers have thick soles and are very durable. His socks and the bands around his gloves are blue.
Strengths: He has a higher-than-average tolerance for dry climates and high temperatures. He can go for long periods of time without water.
Weaknesses: Being a species from the desert, Orichalcum is uncomfortable in situations that involve large amounts of water. Whilst he doesn't mind being lightly rained on, he has difficulty when moving through deep water and he cannot swim.
Aliance: Good.
Personality: Orichalcum neither encourages nor discourages new friendships, as he is satisfied with the ones he now has. Outside of his small group of friends, he is concise in word and never says more than he needs to. Minor problems don't bother him and he can quickly adapt to lifestyle changes. He tends to ignore or accept circumstances that are beyond his control, as he feels that worrying about such things causes futile stress. However, when he encounters a situation that he can control, he often feels indecisive, especially if he has to make an important choice that strongly affects other people. This may be his greatest flaw. His friends often find his inability to finalized his decisions quite annoying, even for things so simple as trying to figure out what he wants for breakfast.
Background: Orichalcum is a member of a 3-person group (his friends Luster the Aardwolf and Sharp the Scorpion) of desert nomads that seek to avoid general society. They want to live their lives without the stresses and obligations of city life, as well as avoiding the problems caused by Robotnik. While they are aligned with good, they are mostly inactive in the battle against evil. They usually only fight when they themselves are threatened.
