I'll have to admit that I got somewhat of a base of him from Danny Phantom due to the outfit and the last name, his outfit is also slightly based on Sheik's from the Zelda series. However, there are other ghost characters in my series with the same last name but are not related to one another (kind of like how all Digimon have "mon" at the end of their name) and are usually refered to as the Phantoms or the Phantom Fighters.



Mirage is basically a Phantom Fighter and a Ghost Theif in Sonic-Chaotik Clash. He is the clone and "reincarnation" of Miro Atani who was the boyfriend of the Catty Jewel Thief, Quera Harluna (who is Rouge the Bat's rival). He died at the hands of hired assassin that his father Miru Atani VIII hired to kill Quera, but Miro sacrificed himself to save her and was killed in her place, when Miru found out about his son's death, he did not shed a single tear of sympathy for him but instead though of his death as "getting rid of dead weight".

Miru then went on to create a "living ghost" using a clone of his son that he had stored in his lab, combining a Phantom Orb he found and infused it into the body of the clone. During the process, Miro's spirit hovered over the clone and manifested itself inside its body.

Upon the completion of his "creation", Mirage was put under many tests that were requirements in becoming a Phantom Fighter but he failed at the ablilty to possess living creatures and was deemed a failure and was locked away in a capsule. Quera goes back to her home planet Gallio after hearing that Atani Science Lab had been hiding a valuable treasure which was actually Mirage. When she released him, she thought he was her belated boyfriend Miro.

Mirage becomes a part of Quera's band of thieves while trying to convince her that he is Miro though she doesn't believe him (he and Mirage are exactly alike except in difference of clothes and the fact that Miro had pupils), with the use of his ghost powers he makes getting in and out of hiests look easy. Mirage hardly ever talks to anyone except for Quera or when she grants him permission to speak with others. Though Mirage is more skilled at flying and using his ghost powers, he wears combat boots to match Quera's skills in using kicks, although this isn't his forte. Mirage is also the brains of Team Harluna and is very skilled at using computer technology.

Aside from having Miro Atani's DNA and identity, he also has some mysterious DNA inside him that when triggered (usually out of anger) he turns into complete Phantom Fighter called Doom Mirage!

When Mirage was first awakened by Quera, he had triggered the "revival" of King Boom Boo who has now become Mirage's sworn rival and enemy. Mirage also has a hate toward all those who are enemies of Quera as well as anyone who has caused her emotional or physical pain. He works surprisingly well with Shadow the Hedgehog since they both seem to have a common hate for Chaotik but has an extreme disliking toward Rouge the Bat because of her rivalry with Quera.

Mirage is also in the Prower Power/Chaos Fox Heroes Mini Series and on occasion helps Tails and Sélim on their journey, he disasociates himself from Dark Nyoh and Serenia because of his refusal to work with anyone that goes beyond his high level of intelligence (he has pride issues)...
