#he and Espio are both mid-twenties because I love that breathing space it gives for backstories

I found a tag name for the story so yay I can show him

So this is the appearance of Silver in my new Espilver fic... Or at least the appearance he had before being put to sleep. He has been in a curse-like sleep and in and out of consciousness in the form of dreams, so it’s unclear even to him how long he’s been asleep. His appearance slightly shifts depending on how he remembers what he looked like (the rings on his quills were the first to go), but based on his clothing, it dates further than most completed written history (it’s Lore™, but beyond a certain point, written history is extremely hard to get by and any piece they have is badly damaged and therefore reveals little, but historians have their theories about things, though I won’t get into them now)

He and Espio meet in their dreams due to what can only be called a silent freak accident involving a corrupted Chaos Emerald that created a bond between their minds when Espio fell asleep at the same time than Silver slipped into consciousness (silently wishing he'd get some company but don’t try to make him admit he was thinking that).

Silver can seem overly-serious, snappy, and even a bit cold, but it’s all due to his strong sense of duty. He knows why he’s been put to sleep and he knows what he must do.
