#he's neo metal sonic's sonic oc he has to be an edgy fuck

I’m an artist now and I realised that means I can share with you my like decade old AU ideas.

Anyway, this is Nova the very real, organic, not at all robotic Hedgehog. He is very definitely not Neo Metal Sonic in disguise as a normal hedgehog to try and trick Sonic into a false sense of security while he steals the data of all his friends and then takes over the world he is just a scared teenager who was kidnapped for Reasons by Eggman and definitely did not stage her appearance. He is very normal and knows what gender is.

Jokes aside, the idea for this AU was a sort of alternate-Heroes, where Neo Metal Sonic didn’t act like a dramatic bitch and, well, y’know, instigate the whole plot of Heroes but instead used his shapeshifting ability to disguise himself as a normal non-metal non-Sonic hedgehog and infiltrate them from the inside while stealing their DNA without anyone being any the wiser by staging a situation Sonic would have to “save” him from. Admittedly very badly he cannot resist pointless cruelty and violence but it still definitely left an impression.

Sonic is very fucking confused as to why this weird hedgehog is alternating between gleeful violence and paralysing fear along with snarky banter to weirdly stiff attempts at normal friendly interaction but like, he's made friends in weirder situations and this Nova fellow(?) seems kinda sad and lonely and looks like he’s about to cry whenever he recieves the slightest kindness so how dangerous can he really be? (Very.)
