* {{Adorkable}}: Oh yes! Not only was Tails already adorable in canon, puberty had been ''very'' kind to him in the looks department. And yet, despite being a battle-scarred badass, Tails is still very much the same lovable nerdy dork as he always has been. He unashamedly geeks out at every opportunity to study GFFA technology. He [[{{Squee}} squees]]. And only Tails could coin a word like [[{{Nerdgasm}} “techno-gasm”]] to describe how happy he feels when he’s working on machinery and not mean something NSFW!

He does however have some issues with too much starch and sugar, and can't really eat chocolate due to the risk of theobromine poisoning.

** DorkKnight: He’s an adorable dork and can still kick your ass into next week.


Added DiffLines:

* BloodierAndGorier: Much so, at least when fighting non-human monsters. Official ''Star Wars'' works tend to avoid depictions of blood or gore, and ''Sonic'' canon avoids it completely, but in extreme situations like in the Undercity of Taris, carnage is described in visceral detail.
* BossSubtitles: Used somewhat unexpectedly, since the ''Knights of the Old Republic'' games never used them and even the toughest enemies never got much fanfare or “boss treatment”. The ''Sonic'' games did, though, particularly the 3D games like ''Sonic Adventure 2''. They take the form, “Boss Battle: <name of boss>”.


Added DiffLines:

* FirstPersonSmartass: In later chapters, Tails starts snarking to himself at various absurdities or inconveniences.
--> '''Rukil''': You are marked, Up-Worlder… even my dim old eyes can see the mantle of destiny that cloaks you.
--> '''Tails (in his head)''': ''Oh, give me a break!''


Added DiffLines:

* LeeroyJenkins: Tails will ''not'' hesitate to throw himself into the fray if he’s trying to save someone. Even when he ''knows'' he’s at a severe disadvantage.
--> '''Carth''': What is with you? Just what the hell possesses you to throw yourself into the meat grinder at the slightest provocation?
--> [[{{Beat}} …]]
--> '''Tails''': Because, at that moment, I knew I was the only one who could make a difference.


Added DiffLines:

* SociallyAwkwardHero: Extremely competent fighter and engineer. ''Hopelessly'' incompetent at talking to girls.
--> '''Tails (in his head)''': ''Blast it... how come I can face a four hundred metric ton killing machine, by myself, with a clear mind... but when faced by a female, my brain short-circuits?!''
* {{Squee}}: On repeated occasions, whenever he gets some shiny new technology to play with. Tails usually has enough propriety to keep any squeaky noises to himself, but the reader gets to read his thoughts on the matter.
--> '''Tails''': Is there a downloadable documentation file somewhere? One that details the hardware specifications?
--> '''Zelka''': Ah, sure. There should be one on the computer. Hand me your datapad, and I'll transfer the file for you.
--> '''Tails (in his head)''': ''Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!!!''

The more I thought about it, the more I realized this was an Intercontinuity Crossover, not a Fusion Fic. At least, until we know more about the nature of Tails\' presence in the GFFA.


''Tails of the Old Republic'' is a crossover/ FusionFic based on Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog and Franchise/StarWars: VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic. First published in January of 2010 on Website/DeviantArt by @/PyreVulpimorph, the story attempts to weave Miles "Tails" Prower from the Sonic 'verse into the narrative of Knights of the Old Republic, starring the Mobian fox boy as the PlayerCharacter.

Added DiffLines:

* BrickJoke: The effects of eating [=MREs=], or “Meals, Ready-to-Eat”. Tails quips that, for all the galaxy’s advanced technology, STILL no one can make an edible field ration!


Added DiffLines:

* GoshDangItToHeck: Whether Tails or other characters swear is used somewhat inconsistently. However, it does seem that Tails has his own built-in profanity filter: most of the time, he’ll use euphemisms, but under great stress the filter will fail and he’ll curse like anybody else.
** UnusualEuphemism: Other times, Tails has used “cruft”, “Chaos”, or “Gaia” in place of normal cussing.


Added DiffLines:

* ProlongedPrologue: The entire Taris arc is this. After 5 and a half years and almost 50 chapters, the gang is still stuck on Taris.


Added DiffLines:

* SanitySlippage: After crashing on Taris, getting horribly mauled in the Undercity, barely finishing the swoop bike race, and FINALLY rescuing Bastila, who goes full-on UngratefulBitch mode, Tails nearly snaps, complete with SlasherSmile. It's a very unsettling scene.

* BrainUploading: Desperate to find ways to help the Outcasts of Taris before he leaves, Tails finds a way to ''download his brain'', or rather his knowledge of science and engineering, into several datapads so the Outcasts can build up their own self-sustaining civilization and break free of their ScavengerWorld existence.

Tails hesitantly tries a few words in Basic, and then doesn't speak a line of Mobian afterwords (except as sleep-mumbling).

* ShoutOut: Being Franchise/StarWars and Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog crossover, there are references aplenty to both franchises. A few Shout Outs stand out:
** Tails channels Darth Vader in chapter 008, finding Carth's [[Film/ANewHope lack of faith]] in him disturbing.
** Tails has [[Film/StarTrekGenerations an emotional response]] in chapter 020 to drinking Tarisian Ale.
** When talking to Holden in chapter 024, Tails notes that going VideoGame/SuperSmashBros on his dumb butt wasn't exactly Plan A.
** In chapter 039, Tails hopes the swoop bike he's about to ride has a [[VideoGame/StarFox G-Diffuser]] in it.
** In chapter 047, Tails wants you to know he built the Tornado II ''[[Film/IronMan in a cave! With a box of scraps!]]''

* InfoDump: Consciously avoided by the author throughout the fanfic’s run, with tidbits of information about Tails’ backstory and the world he’s now in being delivered chapter by chapter. Then, in Chapter 044, Bastila delivers a 750-word rundown of the seven lightsaber combat forms. This was immediately lampshaded by the author in the description box. Justified, perhaps, by Tails' natural curiosity on the subject.

* MrFanservice: ''TAILS'' of all people. Not even two weeks on Taris, and at least four females fall for him. He handles it with all the (lack of) grace you’d expect of a teenage boy. By the way the author describes him, Tails is suppoded to be this for the audience as well. One image the author has is even titled ''[[http://pyre-vulpimorph.deviantart.com/art/Red-Hot-Fox-Boy-475134707 Red Hot Fox Boy]].''

Added DiffLines:

* PintSizedPowerhouse: Tails is barely four feet tall (125 cm) and a hundred and ten pounds (50 kg), but he’s the single fastest and second-strongest member of the party (after [[TheBigGuy Zaalbar]]) and can kill you with a mere ''touch'' of his long, whip-like namesakes… like slicing you in half. Failing that, Tails can easily break all your bones with conventional melee tactics.


Added DiffLines:

* PunctuatedPounding: Deep in the Black Vulkar base, Tails & Co. fight one last battle to retrieve the stolen swoop bike accelerator. After a brutal melee with Kandon’s bodyguard, Tails finally finishes her by rearranging her face.
--> Tails: "Now! Sit! Still! And! ''Take! Your! Lumps!”''


Added DiffLines:

* ShipTease: Between Tails and ''Mission!'' It does make ''some'' sense, as both of them are the same age in this story. WordOfGod says he never actually intended this to happen, it just… ''did''.
* SleepCute: ''Twice'' with both Tails & Mission. The first time [[HilarityEnsues was an accident]], with Tails falling into a panic-induced meltdown when he realizes what’s happened. The second time, Tails accepts her offer to sleep in the same bed as him with minimal grumbling. After what happened [[DuelToTheDeath last chapter]], Tails really, ''really'' needed her presence.


Added DiffLines:

* SuperPoweredEvilSide: Strongly hinted at in the second Vulkar Base chapter, where Tails nearly ''loses it'' in his fight with Kandon’s bodyguard. Tails’ [[RedEyesTakeWarning vision turns red]], his strength and reflexes spike, he bites her arm, slashes her face with his bare claws, and snaps her arm like a celery stalk. Tails has to desperately struggle to ''restrain'' himself.
--> Tails: "No! I am ''NOT'' letting you out today!"


Added DiffLines:

* SuperSpeed: Tails is an excellent sprinter who could give Usain Bolt a [[{{pun}} run]] for his money, but [[HeliCritter flying]] is where Tails shines. He notes he can’t break the sound barrier like Sonic or Shadow can, but he can still get up to 200 MPH/ 300 KPH in “helicopter” mode, and up to 650 MPH/ 1050 KPH in “turbofan” mode.

* EatTheBomb: In his [[spoiler:duel with Bendak]], Tails suffers from the effects of multiple [[EarAche sonic grenades]] thrown at him. Retreating from them and even plugging his ears does absolutely nothing to lessen their damage. But then he gets the idea to use his {{Hammerspace}} -- when one sonic grenade gets chucked his way, he lashes his tail at it, not to destroy it or slap it away, but ''absorb'' it. Given the [[YearInsideHourOutside stasis-like]] nature of Tails' {{Hammerspace}}, he gets a day or two to dispose of it before it blows up.
