#Fan Guide

[yautjalover]

The Yautja fan guide is finally here! I’ve uploaded three chapters so far, with more to come! You must have an account to leave a comment. This is for to keeping out trolls or trouble makers.

Since we have no official confirmation on what is and isn’t canon, I and a few others had the idea to compile everything that is known in one handy guide.

Whether you’re wanting to write a fanfic and are having trouble finding information or just wanting to read a fun little guide, this’ll be for you! There are big blanks in canon, so some things are either conjecture or agreed upon by the contributors in order to provide helpful starting points.

You are free to still have your own creative interpretation or head canon.

Once completely uploaded, it will have eleven chapters, so don’t worry about having to read a thick tome of info that’s hard to slog through. At some point, this will also be available on WattPad as well. Down the line I’ll share the link to the PDF document for your own keeping. 🙂

Sonic Fan Character Guide: Thresholds

In the past, Concept: "Mobius" had a guide for creating Sonic fan characters, with certain rules and guidelines for one to follow in order for one's character to be made with originality and canon in mind. The intent was to curb all the recolors, "long-lost Echidnas", and "Ultimate Lifeforms" that were all the rage at the time.

In short, the less _____ the Hedgehogs and Coldsteels, the better.

Over the years, even the idea of such a guide has been considered to be ridiculous or even elitist, as most Sonic fans just want to be left alone to have fun making whatever they want, quality be damned. To a point, they're right, but working within the canon is possible. You just need to know what those limits are and, well, be creative.

Any schmuck can (and has) make a different colored hedgehog/fox/echidna with abilities better than the main cast in every way, but let me ask you...is that really a good thing? Or is it just you trying to be like your favorite character(s)?

I'd argue that working within what's already been established gives you a chance to be more creative and think of alternate ways to have your character stand out from the crowd. Yes, using different universes gives you some wiggle room, but our focus is going to be game canon, so if your character is part of that universe specifically, this is the guide for you. (No, we don't consider IDW Sonic to be canon.)

To start with this new guide, we need to establish said limitations first, beginning with what thresholds your character should not be reaching or surpassing. These limits must be respected in order for your character to be original.

Sonic the Hedgehog and Metal Sonic are THE fastest characters, as well as THE fastest Speed types. Shadow the Hedgehog is 2nd fastest and Miles "Tails" Prower is 3rd.

Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik is THE smartest. Tails is 2nd smartest. Dodon Pa and Wave the Swallow are the smartest and best in their respective fields, only matched by Eggman and Tails, who are catching up rather quickly.

Knuckles the Echidna is THE strongest character, as well as THE strongest Power type, not to mention the fastest. Shadow is 2nd strongest, and THE strongest Speed type. Knuckles is also the LAST and ONLY living Mobian Echidna. Eggman is the weakest Power type.

Rouge the Bat is the strongest Flight type character with Charmy Bee and Cream the Rabbit tied for being - arguably - the weakest. Without his ESP, Silver the Hedgehog is the slowest Flight type. Tails is THE fastest Flight type.

Jet the Hawk, Wave, and Storm the Albatross are the ONLY Babylon Rogues. Jet and Sonic are THE fastest Extreme Gear riders, with the former being world-renowned for it.

In the current timeline, only Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Blaze the Cat, Silver, and Trip the Sungazer have Super forms to date. Additionally, only Sonic & Knuckles have Hyper forms. Silver has yet to use his Super form in the current timeline.

The Chaotix consists of only the following: Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon, and Charmy. Knuckles and Mighty the Armadillo have loose associations with the Chaotix, and Ray the Flying Squirrel has nothing to do with them.

Shadow is THE ONE AND ONLY Ultimate Lifeform. There is no other.

The Guardian Units of the Nation (G.U.N.) do not allow just anyone to join; Like any other military organization, you must meet all the standard requirements and complete training.

Rouge is the governments' only known spy.

The entire cast is single and has been shown to be heterosexual. Only a few are actively looking for partners. Do not create your character(s) to change that or be their offspring.

The Chaos Emeralds are difficult to get a hold of, and are constantly changing hands. The Sol Emeralds are protected by Blaze for her use alone, as is the Master Emerald by and for Knuckles. There are no other known power sources/relics.

Chaos Drives are creations of Professor Gerald Robotnik and are now used by G.U.N. to power their military robots and other machines. They aren't easy to acquire, either.

If there is a criminal underworld, Fang the Hunter isn't really a part of it. Or at least, not a well known figure. On that note, Bean the Dynamite and Bark the Polar Bear aren't criminals, either.

While everyone in his era uses ESP, Silver is the only time traveler.

That's it!

This part of the fan character guide is subject to change as new facts are added to the lore with every game. Of course, if you don't want to use this guide, you don't have to. Everyone is free to make whatever character they want to represent them, use for roleplay, or otherwise have fun with. This guide is, just for those who want to their creations to be made as if they were a part of the world of Sonic, just made with cohesion.

So in celebration of #PearlJam’s Dark Matter, here ya go.

people who say it's difficult to get into comics are weak and won't survive the winter. you pick a random comic, google "read online free" and then you read a hundred issues of a run you'll like well enough but realize really sucks like two years later.

Woe fan seasonal spirits be upon ye ✨

YEAH THATS RIGHT for one of my uni projects I decided to design some seasonal spirits plus a guide for my own hypothetical Sky season! The original concept was having a skykid guide the player helps uncover some of the ruins and truths left buried by the ancestor spirits, though I kinda had to just focus on the designs themselves due to time woooo

Each of these spirits were probably alive when the dark stone pollution/general issues in the kingdom came to ahead. The idea that Fearful Florist was trying to preserve some of the flowers destroyed by the pollution, Caring Fisherman used to fish for light creatures for dark stone processing but later came back and freed them and finally Starry Manta Rider used to raise Mantas but slowly watched as they were either taken or became spirits.. mmmm we love fun lore ✨

(The seasonal location would probably be in a desert area outside the Vault of Knowledge, similar to Isle, Wasteland and the Little Prince area! I imagine it’s accessed through a crack in the vaults walls. Maybe the player follows a little starry manta to get there?)

I did have ideas for seasonal quests like uncovering the spirits pasts or saving the guide from a krill during one of their investigations of some ruins but did not have to do draw it sadly ;-;

BUT YEAH enjoy these silly concepts I hope yall enjoy them!

People who don’t straight up read the sourcebooks are missing out on some banger lines. “A goddammit of Tremere” is fucking hilarious
