Does infinite do his own mascara

IN: Of course I do. What kind of warrior would I be if I am not to do my own makeup?

SP: Unless we're late!

IN: ... Yes. Unless we're late.

IN: In which case, the Ruby just does the legwork for me.

REFERENCE [TEMPORARY]

[command0bey]

NAME : INFINITE , [PATIENT] ZERO [he/him] AGE : Mid 20s to early 30s. SPECIES : Jackal AFFILIATION : Jackal Squad [FORMERLY], Eggman Army PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES : Infinite is rather vain in his appearance. Though he often wears his mask, when he is not wearing it, he enjoys using ear piercings and necklaces. Some of this vanity is still present through the gold in his uniform, the bracelets on his arms. Part of his left ear is missing, and he has a scar across his left eye that reaches his top lip from a mission gone wrong a long time ago, when he still had his family around. The incident cost him one of his canines, easily replaced with a golden tooth. He sports a scar across his muzzle and across his chest, underneath the spot the Phantom Ruby lodged itself in. Infinite is often quick in his illusions, taking a preference for illusions of blades and guns, often changing scenery to fit a certain narrative and cause his victims a sense of vertigo or provoke further fear, helplessness, confusion, or all at once. He may find fun in keeping numerous victims stuck in one single illusion for days at a time before giving the final blow. He's got a lot of time, these days. Parts of him seem to phase in and out of existence, even if only for a few seconds.

POWERS : Can bend reality to his will-- as long as he is thinking about it, of course. Infinite is adept at making illusions that look, sound, and feel real-- and will often use this to torture the resistance. His helmet's ears can change color from white to black to white to black, to confuse and scare people; much like how a squid might flash its colors. It feels almost hypnotizing. He seems specially fond of close combat, and tends to create knives and traps for the populace to fall into. He tries to be creative in his craft.

WEAKNESSES : ? ? ? Strike Sphinx, destabilize target. Ruby on chest, though hard to get a hold of when the Unit is around. If you want to take out Infinite, you HAVE to take out his shield source. Having personal encounters with Shadow and Sonic while Sphinx is around also seems to send target into shock. DO NOT ABUSE THIS. Target becomes impossible to predict.

PERSONALITY : Infinite can be quite an unpredictable character. He is often cold and calculating, but anger is fast to blind and guide his actions. He has a hard time showing affection through actions, and even through words it proves to be more of a thought-out task than something natural. His patience is often reserved to Sphinx, and situations reguarding Sphinx. He can be rather protective of what he thinks is his, and will often panic when himself and Sphinx are in a battlefield against Sonic or Shadow. He has a very frail grip on reality. His memory often fails him in regards to past events, and he can be quite stuck in the past he doesn't remember. His memory of his squad is missing many pieces, and their voices/faces tend to come to him in waves of grief. Despite his species' often loner status, he has a hard time working alone and being alone, even though he tends to do both often, out of fear of putting his shield unit in harm's way. He has a specific hatred for both Shadow and Sonic, which also sometimes translates to fear and fascination. Infinite doesn't quite remember that every time he asks what happened to his squad, Dr. Eggman's answer is different.

About :

In this AU, Infinite's background is different.

First and foremost, he finds the Phantom Ruby before Eggman ever even detects it. He keeps it on his person throughout missions without ever really figuring out what it does (just keeping it as a cool, shiny trinket more than anything).

During a raid to an active Eggman base, they underestimate the defenses and both Infinite and his squad die. In this AU, the Phantom Ruby can be almost said to be sentient, so it lodges itself onto Infinite's chest and revives him. As a set back, he does not remember who was responsible for his squad's misfortune.

He is found shortly after by Dr. Eggman, who is wondered by the power within the ruby. He takes full advantage of Infinite's confusion and recent memory loss, making up a story about how Team Dark took the best out of them and left them for dead. The Dr. then offers to find out what the stone is, and Infinite isn't in the correct state to deny.

As experiments are run, Eggman finds that Infinite cannot stay without the ruby for extended periods of time. When without it, he stays in a state between there and not quite-- both physically and mentally. Once that was figured out, physical tests begun-- and another obstacle was hit. Infinite finds it hard to not command a squad and not having someone watching his back.

He attempts to create his lost pack through the power of the ruby, but he seems to be unable to remember them quite right, and seeing them causes extreme distress and eventually a complete power shut down. To solve the problem, Eggman comes up with an easy solution: the fabrication of a team member.

He tries it with his robots, with Metal Sonic, with new creations-- but nothing seems to work. Either his robots do not respond to Infinite's commands the way he wants them to, or do not respond verbally, or are simply too fragile and easy to hit. Eventually an AI is created, who behaves in an unpredictable manner and responds in an organic fashion, and can defend itself from harm as well as defend Infinite himself.

The war itself has not ended. Within my RP storyline, we are in the middle of it-- right after Sonic has been captured. Within the AU, the war goes on for over a year, and Sonic is captive for 3/5 of that time.

Interaction Rules :

You are free to send asks to both Sphinx and Infinite-- though the main responder will most often be Sphinx. Please, also specify who you're sending the ask to if you'd like a specific character to answer.

Unless spoken about or agreed to beforehand, do not throw suggestive content at either of my muses. Both are of age, but it's really uncomfortable.

AUs are welcome. Multiverse are welcome.

Fighting RPs are welcome, but I am frankly not used to them so you might get disappointed.

There will be themes of derealization and violence throughout this AU and blog as I write. Please be 18+ when interacting. Mun is 22.

In my specific portrayal of Sonic Forces, all characters are aged 20+. However, I don't mind switching to match who I'm writing with. But do ask me beforehand if that's a change you want.

This is an AU of Sonic Forces. Please read the About Page before interacting, if that's something you're interested in.

Asks about current games or the current IDW timeline will be answered with confusion. This blog is entirely set on the forces timeline unless otherwise stated.

My characters' beliefs are not my own.

I shall reveal more about each character (and consequently the AU) as I write. Information pages will be updated as fit.

Character exclusive rules:

Sphinx will behave differently around other Infinite muses. It will learn and adapt. It will treat every single one the same, but it may be more disobedient if the version of Infinite it interacts with is much more different from the one it serves. If you are an Infinite, and would like to interact with it as a member of your unit, please let me know beforehand so that we can work out an appropriate relationship dynamic. I'm pretty flexible.

Please do not try to push things onto Sphinx. It is patient, but it can only take so much.

Though I am willing to work out some kind of romance, I will be pretty honest with the fact you will be disappointed. Sphinx isn't exactly the emotional type and all of its energy goes into worrying about and being Infinite's shield unit. The same does not apply to Infinite; he is simply not interested in any relationships. This could change if the chemistry is good enough, but. er. dont get your hopes up.

Sphinx uses she/it. She will most often refer to itself as it, but it may alternate.

Please do not treat Sphinx like a child, or reduce her to "kitty". She is modeled after a cat, and it will often behave as such, but constantly demeaning it with that when she is making a clear threat is frankly a bit tiring to deal with, after a while.

Infinite is more quiet. While Sphinx may often be more laid back, Infinite is more reserved. Both tend to be aggressive.

Infinite does not like Sonic team or Team Dark. He will remain impassive and hostile towards members of both teams, but specially to Sonic and Shadow.

Asks about the Ruby are fine. Asks about Eggman and Infinite's relationship to his squad are fine.

Asks about Sphinx's function are fine.

Anything that isn't fine will be revealed as I get asks, tbh.

NAME : SPHINX (It/its, she/her) AGE : ??? SPECIES : AI / ROBOT / ??? AFFILIATION : INFINITE'S SQUAD, EGGMAN ARMY PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES : Head is similar in shape to Infinite's helmet, with the addition of wings. Body is black with extra heavy armoring on the arms. Unlike Infinite, only has an arm bracelet on one of its arms. Tail is long, separated in sections, sometimes unlocking to form a whip. Tip of tail is heavier than the rest, often taking the shape of a spiked mace. A golden snake is often found either wrapped around its tail, or as a staff used to make strong shields. Sphinx carries two small, prototype rubies: one on the wesekh around its throat, and one on the snake's forehead. POWERS : Sphinx can create shields at will using her staff and simply waving her hands. It has unfathomable strength, and can create illusions on a much smaller scale than Infinite, and much weaker. It rarely uses ilusions that do not benefit its task, and without permission. WEAKNESSES: ? ? ? ....... Seems specially sensitive around the torso area. Becomes disoriented when hit in the head. Strikes to Snake Staff will leave it extremely defensive and insecure. Break the staff and you will have a break from the shields. PERSONALITY : Sphinx is often quiet when around Infinite. She follows orders and hates to do the opposite of what it is told. It does not like leaving a job poorly done. Sphinx will threaten but will rarely bite without being told to. She is brash and mean, and will often try to strike her opponents mentally rather than physically. To counter the fact she cannot attack unless told to, when defending a location she will ask her opponent riddles. If those are answered wrongly, she attacks. If they are correct, she will remain passive but still not allow them to go through-- but defensive action will be taken rather than offensive.

She will obey Infinite's command, and his well-being is her priority, but she is programmed to obey Eggman above anyone else. If Infinite tells her to do something but Eggman disapproves, then she will not do it-- not without having a bit of a crisis first, though. Without Infinite or Eggman around, she can be loud and a bit of a brat. Be mindful that she often does not hold back in her insults and threats.
