#I LOVE THE JACKAL SQUAD A LOT OK

[livewireprojects]

Finn and Zero Ref(Lost Prince AU)

AND THEN THERE'S THIS ASSHOLE! He's not that bad to draw if I remove the shoes & mask but jfc his shoes are harder than Shadow's. This fucker's shoes look like he stole an Inkling/Octoling's shoes if you look at 3D models.

I guess it's finally time to explain the ghost & some comments I made in the Pride Month post.

So yeah I gave Infinite a dad, for some reason I got inspired by a fic on A03(I still have a link but the fic has been deleted) were Sonic apparently knew Infinite in the past back when he was Finn & despite Infinite being a war criminal Sonic wanted to help him thanks to past memories/promise. Yeah I've turned this into that thing I did with Sally.

Asides from the fact I named Infinite's dad Finn due to the fic that I got inspiration for him from I also gave Infinite the name Zero because that & sometimes Finn were popular names to give him when he wasn't being Infinite.

I kinda find it interesting to see Infinite redeemed, I wasn't sure at first but some stuff involving Infinite was interesting & I've kinda made Mephile redeemed in the past.(Grant it it's him in a reboot of the world & actually feels guilt for his past actions now that he's lived in a time were he got to have a life)

I dunno why but I gave Infinite movie Robotnik's outfit, I guess it looks fitting.

Everything else is under a keep reading due to all the text.

Finn:

Finn was one of Sonic's friends growing up, Finn use to live down the road from Sonic's adopted parents before Robotnik attacked & burnt Sonic's house down. They eventually met again when Finn started living with the part of the resistance Chuck lived with. By the time they meet again when Sonic is traveling with his siblings Finn was an active member of the resistance, traveling around to help while also hoping to run into Sonic.

Finn was an energetic guy, while he can't keep up with Sonic's speed he loves the thrill of running with him & is fairly fast. After losing his home & moving into a community the resistance was in Finn realized he wanted to help & started doing what he was able to since he was to young to go on missions. Helping out with the younger kids & making sure everyone was ok lead to helping him become a leader figure, when he met Sonic again he stayed by his side & helped him get along with everyone. As he got older Finn helped on missions, traveling to other areas to help the resistances in those areas & tell them what news he could.

He was devastated when Sonic went missing but eventually tried to move on for his & Sonic's sake keeping Sonic's memory alive. He eventually moved to the main land with his son & retired to a life of peace(along with maybe secretly doing some writing) eventually taking up painting. While a strong & smart man he sadly was growing weak in his old age thanks to becoming ill, despite moving on Sonic was always on his mind at times leading to telling his family about Sonic to keep his memory alive. In his dying days he hoped for the best for Zero, hiding some important things for him which was common for people back during the war.

Infinite/Zero:

Zero's life had a lot of ups & downs, mostly downs from losing his mom at a young age to constantly getting in trouble as a kid. The only things that kept him going were his father Finn & his ragtag group of friends that eventually became the Jackal Squad.

Zero lost his father a few days after the ill man fell down the stairs during their final argument about Zero being brought home by the police. Zero was heart broken but Finn never blamed him & was more worried about Zero being on his own. Zero & his friends eventually disappeared only to show up as the Jackal Squad only to later lose them when Shadow fought them after Zero chose to work for Eggman. He eventually went mad from not being strong enough & past mistakes leading to allowing Eggman to use him for the Phantom Ruby.

After the events of Sonic Forces at some point he was found while everyone was rebuilding, he was wondering alone & without the Phantom Ruby. It seems the unknown time he was gone & also getting the Phantom Ruby removed he'd come out of his insanity enough to regret a lot of life choices. Surprisingly Sonic is the one to allow him to redeem himself despite some of his friends(Shadow, Rouge & Knuckles, Vanillia if she was there) knowing fully well Sonic was terrified & traumatized.

Sonic wanted to try & give him a second chance since he could see Zero regretted his actions with a clearer head & something seemed to make Sonic talk the others into letting him redeem himself. Zero is currently being kept an eye on by some of the ex-resistance(from Sonic Forces not Underground) & staying Gadget, who has finally returned from traveling & helping out.

It's a long journey & frustrating on both sides but Zero is still going, trying to prove he's not going to become Infinite again & growing close to Gadget & Sonic. Now if only he could figure out why Sonic thought he was Finn, he can't help but faintly remember his dad telling him about a blue hedgehog. After losing Finn Zero has kept his favorite bandana safe & now wears it over where the Phantom Ruby was.

Weirdly enough originally a couple weeks back(when I posted this originally on DA) I wasn't sure how I wanted to go with Zero, at some point at the time I wanted to make it seem like there was doubt Zero was Infinite but imply he was either a clone or some how part of Infinite was in a clone body.

Zero's memories would allow him to answer some questions but also make him at times question if he's the real Infinite, either way he's willing to be punished for Infinite's crimes as he feels guilt for his other self's actions. In the end I wasn't sure if I wanted nothing to happen so Infinite is gone & Zero is doing better or Infinite shows up, tries to attack but is either defeated by Gadget & Zero or Zero defeats him, they become whole again with Zero in control & continuing his community service while everyone is more positive about him now that he's shown he's not evil.

Yeah everything but Finn is a mess. Funny enough for a little I wasn't sure if I wanted Zero to be Finn's son or grandson before settling on being Finn's son.

[sovereign-of-shipping]

I have been planning this fic for Zero for literally almost a year (no joke man), but I haven’t had the time to fully write it out, but dammit, I’m gonna share how he meets each squad member. Please note that I’m calling them by the names that I’ve seen a lot of people use for them, but I’ll describe them to help y’all.

Zero finds Tempest (AKA, the only girl jackal present) first. She was a solo bounty hunter and she was after the same bounty as him, so naturally, they clashed. They ended up working together, though, and through their combined skills, finished the job. They split the bounty. Zero asked if she wanted to work with him for future jobs, and she said yes, since they got the job done easier together. It became a permanent relationship and they’ve been best friends ever since. She operates as his second in command and is in charge of weaponry, since she has extensive knowledge over it.

Then, they met Lance (the fellow with the brown gloves and red bandanna). Lance was one of their bounties, believe it or not. He was setting fires to different buildings and was known to create homemade bombs. By day, he lived life as a travelling mechanic, but at night, he was an arsonist and bomber. He mostly went after debt collector buildings, where he burned people’s debts and took down corrupt people who would steal money and leave people impoverished. Zero and Tempest ended up teaming up with him when they found out the person who gave them the job was corrupt themselves. To get away from the commotion, Lance hotwired a car and they all rode off together, laughing at the look of shock on their client’s face when they sold him out. Lance also operated as a bit of a handyman around the hideout, and is, as Jay lovingly refers to him, a “Jackal of all trades”. 

Next, they met Jay (smiley boy with the green bandanna). He was by no means a hardened criminal, but he wasn’t an angel, either. He had a hard home life, but the boy was wicked smart, so he ran away to pursue his dreams, since he knew he wouldn’t get to otherwise. On the streets, he became good at fighting and defending himself, but he was even better at scamming for money. He hustled strangers for money and often pick pocketed people. He’s also hella computer savvy and quick with math and calculations, as well as recognizing patterns and analysis in general. The squad met him when he tried to steal Zero’s sword, since it looked valuable, but it ended up backfiring (obviously). When Zero confronted him over it, he realized that he had actually messed with mercenaries (and kinda well-known ones at that), so he apologized and gave it back. He noticed their equipment was rundown and asked them how they were operating their budget for equipment and stuff and was met with a simple “what” from all three squad members. When Jay came up with an on-the-fly budget for them and showed his tech skills, Zero essentially adopted the kid and made him their money manager, as well as their IT guy. Jay better honed his skills as a fighter and joined them on raids soon after. (Fun note: he calls Lance his “bandanna bro” and Lance will never admit it, but he loves it.)

Finally, there’s Pierce (jackal with the red beret). Pierce was a military brat, so he traveled a lot with his family. He grew up in European countries and developed an accent from it (as well as some European slang). He also speaks multiple languages fluently. His family was stationed out in the desert where the squad operates. He had planned on attaining a medical degree, but his father wanted him to enlist instead, so Pierce was forced into learning combat and working out. Pierce, however, studied extensively in secret and became incredibly knowledgeable about medicine, first aid, and doctoral practices. He ended up getting into a huge blowup with his father over it, and he father forbade him from pursuing his dream. He ran away and worked odd jobs at stores in towns to try to scrape by. One night when he was alone after work, he was jumped by some guys. To his surprise, Jay jumped in and saved him, but got hurt, so Pierce tended to him and ended up taking Jay to the squad’s hideout since Jay insisted on avoiding the hospital. When he got there, he was met with weapons by everyone, but when he showed he wanted to help, they let him. Pierce tended to Jay, and then to the rest of the squad when he noted some of their injuries, too. They offered to let him stay for the night, but he ended up staying permanently when he showed his merit.

Essentially, Zero met each of the squadmates and just adopted them into his squad. There are other random tidbits I want to add, but it might be better to make it a separate post since this one is long enough.

[sonknuxadow]

wait have you expressed your opinions on Infinite as a character yet??

ok so . i like infinite i love his design and his music and his voice and i wouldnt have a plushie of him if i didnt like him. but i really think he had a lot of wasted potential like his backstory is SO shit and in my opinon its mostly because they made shadow do something extremely ooc just to give infinite a tragic backstory

you dont even have to change the whole thing jusr changing a few details could make it so much better like making the jackal squads deaths an accident that shadow was somehow involved in but infinite still blamed him for it. or something like that

[atatfortatzelwurm]

Sonic 001 for the ask meme! Your turn owo

Favorite character:

here he comes, rougher than the rest of themthe best of them, tougher than leather

KNUCKLES!!! he’s a cranky loner with a loud voice and a bigger heart, plus he’s red. he checks just about every box i have for ‘favorite character qualities’. Tails is a close second, because he reminds me of myself when i was little.

Least Favorite character:

i guess Zavok, because he just doesn’t seem very interesting to me? i never played Lost World, but i don’t really see why he’s been in multiple games (and the comic) ever since.

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon):

Knouge (she thinks he’s sweet), Sallicole (that one’s halfway canon and also LESBIANS), Sonadow (shadow fell first), Sonknux (knuckles has 1 braincell and its doing its best. sonic lost his braincell a while ago), Tangaze (Tangle has a crush the size of the Death Egg), and uhhh my OC Aria/Espio (cringe culture is dead. also they’re both bi)

Character I find most attractive:

EGGMAN ehhh i guess if i have to pick then idk Blaze maybe???? idk

Character I would marry:

marrying Blaze would give me the benefit of being married to a princess, but i can’t tolerate being close to the ocean for long amounts of time...

Character I would be best friends with:

Tails probably. i have a track record of making friends with kids (i don’t really understand how, but they’re cool) and we’d probably take turns blathering on about our interests

a random thought:

the members of the Jackal Squad were probably Infinite’s family, most likely his siblings, since they all have the same fur and eye color.

An unpopular opinion:

MOVIE SONIC IS ADORABLE AND LOOKS BETTER THAN A GOOD NUMBER OF POKEMON IN DETECTIVE PIKACHU AND YALL CAN MEET ME IN THE FUCKING PIT

My Canon OTP:

Knouge has been hinted at in character profiles and such, which im pretty sure counts.

My Non-canon OTP:

my OC Aria the howler monkey and Espio. i know i havent posted about Aria on tumblr but i love her and Espio fell for her first

Most Badass Character:

honestly? Amy Rose. i have a lot of respect for the feats of the Piko Piko hammer, AND she was the co-leader of the Resistance

Most Epic Villain:

Metal Sonic. he’s a murder-bot based off of Sonic so he’s cool by default, and his personality (even outside the OVA) is so cold but so badass

Pairing I am not a fan of:

pretty much anything with Silver. i HC that Silver is a decedent of Sonic, Shadow, and Amy’s, and i prefer his relationship with Blaze to be platonic. i don’t really dislike Silver ships, i’m just not really into them.

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another):

everybody says Shadow and/or Tails (and i agree) so im gonna say Knuckles. yes, he’s gullible and can be clueless sometimes, but that’s not his entire personality. he’s stoic, he’s cool, he’s strong, when he gets angry it’s justified!! in past games, the writing tells us that he is smart, he’s just out of his element and naive about the world like 99% of the time. i think the writers started applying Boom!Knuckles’ personality and intelligence (which by itself was ok imo, but they could have just made a different character with how different he was to other versions of the character) onto Modern!Knuckles, and that’s when the shift got really obvious.

Favourite Friendship:

SONIC AND TAILS!! me and my brother used to be really close when we were little, and i see me and Max in those two.

Character I most identify with:

Tails, i suppose. related to the question above, i always felt like i was trying to catch up with my brother when we were little, and nowadays it’s more just us doing out own thing and me showing him complicated stuff relating to my interests that he doesn’t really get and forgetting he doesn’t know zoology technobable

Character I wish I could be:

ooooooooooo, that’s tough. abilities-wise Knuckles because come on punching through walls and treasure-hunting and burrowing and gliding is awesome, personality wise im gonna say... Eggman. confident, does whatever the hell he wants, always gets back up failure after failure, but still has fun with what he does!

[rassasassalin]

So, I suppose this is a way to start the show.  Nice to see that it was just a mistake on thrusday to play out Ziggler’s theme.  And by nice, I mean awful.  I know it’s supposed to get under my skin, and it works.  Just play the damn theme.

Interesting that Baron’s seeming to start a trend of going shirtless now.  I’d be okay with him tearing his tank off each match, honestly.

Still haven’t decided if they added Ziggler in so that Bobby doesn’t have to eat a pin, or so Baron doesn’t have to.  All I know is that someone’s being protected, and it ain’t Dolph.- I SAY AS DOLPH PINS BARON??? WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL JUST HAPPENED HERE???  Ahaha, glad I don’t ever actually place bets on these things, holy shit, wow, okay, you got my attention, Clash of Champions.

Shane’s custom made Ref shirt.  I want a special referee shirt that customized towards my own themes.

SHANE YOU’VE BEEN IN MATCHES WITH TWO REFS AT THE SAME TIME WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

Aiden’s looking nice.  I love his jackets.  I want his jackets.

Omg listen to them chanting Rusev Day I’m so happy what a good Bulgarian.  What a happy Rusev Day to us all!  AND WE GET ALL OF THE SONG!!!!!!  A whole month or Rusev, how exciting!!!  Fuck me sideways we’re Actually Getting The Whole Song, What voodoo magic has Aiden done to allow himself to go uninterrupted?  YES I WANT AN ENCORE!!!!!!!  Oh, oh ok, i see how this is.  Gable and Benjamin running for heel tagteam of the year.  I get it.

Those fucking pancakes.  I can’t even.  They make me feel emotions that I simply don’t have the capacity to parse through and understand.

Baby boy, no, ain’t no one singing about Christmas you sillies.  Rusev Day. (good crowd interaction though i’m impressed)

(Also don’t worry Simmon in the first row, we’ll see the Ascension tonight, I almost guarantee it.  Undoubtedly when they cost Breezango a win tonight.)

This is gonna be fucking chaos, but of the impressively athletic variety.  Wonder how long it will be before Xavier gets involved, considering it’s a No DQ.

“No it’s not, it’s Training Day”- Chad Gable, 2017

Things I just realized that I would kind of enjoy- the Usos and New Day getting twin pins, and them being forced to share the Tag Team Belts.  Co-Belt defenders makes for all kind of fun shenanigans.  I look back fondly on when Jericho had to share the Intercontinental Title with Chyna.

Rusev’s face when Aiden’s super sexy pin didn’t work.

Holy SHITE GABLE that’s beautiful, rolling bridging german suplexes That’s what I signed up to See.

...Aw......  Well, it was a damn good attempt Chad.  Like that they’re letting him go out looking strong at least.

And speaking of chaotic matches.  Kinda see Natti stealing a win outta this one, but also Charlotte does have a damn good record at PPVs, soooo...  anyone’s game I guess.  Also when did we stop calling it lumberjill matches???  Did I miss the memo?  I’m cool with it, don’t particularly care either way honestly, just find it kind of odd.  Maybe because they’re afraid it’ll remind people that Jillian and her really bad pop singer gimmick was a thing.  Can’t blame you WWE, those were dark times.  Not as dark as the time that the Boogeyman ate a mole off her face, but still dark.

Fucking love Ruby’s theme, it’s great.  Also I like how all the “teams” have like, taken their own sides of the ring.  Y’all can’t do that.  There’s not enough of you to fully circle the ring, so you gotta plan smart and like, circle around it where Charlotte and Natti are gonna be.

Come on Corey, Charlotte’s not totally surrounded by enemies.  Naomi’s out there.  ehehe, nattie has 12000 cats.  best quote from corey graves of the year.

Don’t call my riot squad jackals.  They’re more like... hyena’s.  Just probably without pseudo-dicks, but definitely with all of the viciousness.

Interesting that the Riot squad’s let Natti get hit, but got a couple of little licks in on Charlotte.  Hmmm.

Yep, okay, things are about to get messy.  Carmella’s gonna be the first to be murdered.

Thank you for the Eddie quote, Corey.  Amen.

“Boo...”- Byron Saxton 2017

I can’t believe it took this long to- ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING- oh my god, thank you Ruby.  No cashing in money in the bank tonight, thank you.

Things I kinda enjoy about wrestling- when a wrestler gets a wedgie and then they try to sneakily pull it out while acting like they’re super in pain.

Not how I thought that match was gonna end, but not bad.

...Nat, you were already a heel, you’d already had your back turned to the crowd, I don’t know how that’s supposed to work???

BREEZE I AM TRYING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT WHEN I AM IN SHOCK AT THE SHORTS YOU’RE DARING TO WEAR INTO THIS RING???  Never, In ALL OF MY DAYS...!

RIP in Peace, Breezango.

Seriously, I thought for sure the Ascension was going to come out and fuck things up for them.  Or fuck them up. ...On tuesday, then.  They’ll either keep talking Breezango into trying and fight the Bludgen Bros, or they’re going to try and “defend their honor” by going up against them themselves.

How’s it gonna work with two refs, babe, honestly.  WIth Shenanigans.  It’s gonna work with shenanigans.  Also who was Sami trying to seduce at the start of this match???  Also hello again like 2013 Randy Orton Hair.

Byron “I’m a very confused boy and that makes me grumpy” Saxton.

I’m sorry, I just can’t be intimidated by heel Sami, like he’s so cute when he he’s all smug and shit like he’d have to do something seriously villainess shit to get any actual heat from me.  I’m talking like, spitting in the direction of someone’s baby level of assholery.  And I just can’t see him doing it.  So he’ll just continue to b my cute lil’ heel that could. “I think I can be bad, I think I can be bad, I think I can be bad!”

Dramatic Ref DB is great.  I love him.  I love when rasslers go in and take the Referee role, like they’re always so expressive with their gesticulations, like their such drama queens I love it.

Great camerawork, thanks, I love it when I don’t actually get to see the triangle locked in and jst get to hear about it.  After all, it’s not like I watch wrestling to actually see the moves or anything.

Honestly, if Shinsuke gets pinned tonight I’m gonna be annoyed.  I know he’s going to lose, because obviously, but like, it’s not going to hurt Randy any to eat a pin.  Wont kill his momentum.  But I feel like it could do some serious damage to Shinsuke.

Goodnight, sweet table, I knew ye well.

Ok, that was a hot powerslam by Randy, ngl.

Whoopsidaisey, here we go.  I thought it’d be Shane pushed into Daniel, but this works too.

Gasp!!!  Shane!!!!  You brought that fast count upon yourself.

Yep!  Yep!  Yep!

FUCK MY LIFE I forgot about the AJ Jinder match I turned off the app after the last match oops, ahaha, came to the realization just in time and turned it back on right as the match started ahahaaaaa says a lot about how I feel about this ppv that I totally forgot about the actual main event....

Welp, this is the best heeling that I’ve seen Jinder do so far, so respect for that.

Just noticed that the announce Desk got put back together.  That bothers me.  If it’s broken guys, leave it be.  Let it be a reminder of what happened earlier in the night, even if it was only one match earlier.

Way better ring psychology going on in this on than I thought there would be.  Ribs and legs, it’s good stuff.  Everyone came out looking better for it.  It’s nice.  Not a bad ending. -seriously hope AJ’s ribs are okay though some of those bumps looked really fucking nasty-
