#Sonic's just kinda vibing

ok then

SO,

ok general premise-setting first. this au is based on the jrpg Octopath Traveler II (only 2 because I'm still in the middle of playing the first one-), where, you have 8 playable "heroes", each with their own story and their own "job" aka character class (stuff like Warrior, Magw, Rogue, Healer etc etc), which you form a party with.

This au is basically like. Generic Fantasy RPG au but with some Ocotpath styling--in the sense that there are multiple protagonists/storyline + I make the job classes have more in-lore ties.

The current lineup thus far is

Party A: Rouge, Shadow, Knuckles, Sonic

Party B: Amy, Tails, Blaze, Silver

out of these 8, only the SSS have a "solid" backstory. Everyone else is in the works. Let me run them down:

Shadow: A Warrior from the desert region of Hinoeuma. One of the royal army's finest soldiers, who has only ever followed orders without question. He has a younger sister, Maria (ofc), who is sick with an unknown illness that's been plaguing the kingdom for a long time. While Shadow was away on a military campaign, Maria passes away from her illness. This makes Shadow start to question what he's living for. He leaves the royal army (being branded the traitor in the process), and goes out on a journey to find a purpose--as well as a cure for the plague Maria died from.

Sonic: A Dancer/Thief who makes his living in the region of the Brightlands as a street performer by day. By night he is a Robin Hood-esque thief. He lives with his adoptive younger brother, Tails. Though, the inciting incident for their story is Sonic being kidnapped and being taken to the opposite side of the world. He goes out on a journey to find out who kidnapped him and why (since his robin hooding isn't that notorious), as well as to reunite with his little bro.

Silver: A cleric who was adopted and raised by a local church in the Crestlands. After an accident involving dark magic, he gets banished/excommunicated and roams the land in search of companionship and a way to fix his mistakes and be accepted back into the only home he's ever known.

Silver's probably had the most development thus far! His arc revolves around the theme of "Absolution" because it's perfect, and also "how cults target vulnerable people". He becomes disillusioned with the church too hard that he ends up in a cult instead thanks to Mephiles. Iblis is also here and is Silver's final boss.

There's a whole thread running through Mephiles, Iblis, Solaris, and Blaze that Silver gets involved in :]

anyways I don't have anything else too concrete at the moment so have this sketch of Cleric Silver

i could be rambling like a madman right now but no one would understand (<- thinking about Sonic Octopath au)

So I was finishing up homework for the night and was like "oh tomorrow's Wednesday I should write a quick wholesome oneshot" but couldn't think of anything that hadn't already been done and I happened to be listening to "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" and so angst popped into my head so then I accidentally drew this

"You cannot simply mess with the younger brother and not expect to face the wrath of the older brother."

(that was basically my entire thought during this)

((TAILS IS FINE HE'S JUST OUT OF IT OKAY, I WILL NEVER KILL EITHER OF THE BROTHERS 👌👌👌))

Blasts them with the creaturenator

[number-one-shadisper-shipper]

Wanted to keep working at this but honestly not sure what else to do with it at this point so here ya go!

[movie-robotnik-positivity]

something something how Sonic likely finds Knuckles boring or frustrating because of his overly responsible and serious personality, clearly prefering Dread for being a more carefree and relaxed version...only to get betrayed because Dread lacks Knuckles' most important features, his bravery and loyalty.

...that's it, I need a lawyer

[twipsai]

autism BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!! heres some Sonic/Shadow/Silver inspired fits in splatoon!!!!!!!!!!!!

[electricpurrs]

being somewhat happy that rouge is included and given focus as a main character in sonic prime but then being sad again because apparently shes literally not in character at all ever and they just forgot what her role/story is supposed to be. literally not a single mention of the fact shes a spy so far. tragic tragic world

[sonknuxadow]

also by read the comics i mean ACTUALLY read them. not gotten an idea of what scourge is like through fanart/fanfic or scanned some wiki pages or something

[magicstormfrostfire]
