I just discovered that the Japanese Sonic twitter does a thing called sonic pict where they post a piece of official artwork every so often (monthly?) and I’m in love <3

They’re gorgeous and such lovely little insights into the daily lives of some of these characters!

Imagine if Sonic really was the Iblis Trigger and had fire powers.

And he was sealed away in South Island long ago after he almost burned it down by accident, stripping him of a normal childhood.

And he wakes up who knows how long afterwards (maybe thanks to a certain platypus), sees a news feed and sees his own face on it

Some weird girl called Sonic the Hedgehog, loved by many, regular savior of the world, and worst of all, a machine

He finds a bunch of pictures, family photos, birthday photos, etc etc, and his face is on all of them, with a bunch of smiling people he has never seen before

And that person who stole his face is called "The Hero of South Island", the place that treated him like an apocalyptic event rather than a person.

He thinks "how can that be, I lived so long ago" and he learns that he became local folklore, stories of a blue hedgehog who almost burned the island to a crisp being how his rescuer found him in the first place.

And despite Sonic being his chosen name, no one used it in generations and it's completely lost to time

And isn't that just the perfect image to use in conquest of such an island for your empire? Scare the locals with just the almost mythological image of death and destruction that is a blue hedgehog?

How can he not hate that person. How could he not be filled with so much anger with nowhere else to direct it towards.

I would like you all to meet Iblis the Hedgehog, my newest, angriest son.

Mephiles' reborn into his newest incarnation, Prince Isol. He is trying to pose as royalty in an attempt to slip under the radar and reclaim Iblis, his other half, to return to his true glory as the sun god Solaris. He's a wolf, since Apollo/Helios (god of the sun) in Greek/Roman mythology is associated with wolves, roosters, horses, and cattle. :P Isol has little memory of the events of 06, nor his identity as Mephiles.

he's jealous

A look at Silver’s backstory in Sonic 06

In this post we will look at what we know of Silver‘s backstory from Sonic 06 and how it affects his character. 

Silver’s story opens with him telling us about his devastated future. There’s eternal darkness, endless wastelands, people struggling and no hope to be found. A future filled with disasters and enemies spawned by Iblis. Silver is outraged by the state of the world and seeks to fix it by finding a way to defeat Iblis for good. Despite the grimness of this world Silver himself never gives up hope for a better tomorrow.

Silver’s Sonic Channel Introduction Story further states that Silver “fought and struggled for half his life through the disasters of a future world filled with despair and was almost cornered while resisting”. 

Half his life... to think Silver fought against the forces of Iblis since he was a small child…

This life of conflict actually informs Silver’s character in many ways. Silver is a noted fighter as Shadow comments on in Team Sonic Racing. He has very aggressive body language and determined expressions(even when not fighting). In Sonic Generations he is shown to enjoy fighting and if you surprise him he is instantly ready to fight. According to his introduction story he can also endure “pain beyond description” and can “sometimes wield great power without mercy”(i.e kill people). All of this is a result of his life of struggle in a violent devastated future.

Despite that intensity however, Silver is a kind hearted hedgehog whose only wish is to maintain peace.

The “filled with despair” portion however, is also very important to Silver’s character. Silver is driven to destroy Iblis and the Iblis Trigger because the people of his future live without hope(in Japanese he says they’re exhausted) and he desperately wants to end this suffering and create a happy future. One of the things Silver admires about Dusty Desert is that the people are happy. Silver has a deep appreciation for people simply living happily and having smiles because people in his future only ever lived in despair.

Silver is an altruistic character that fights for others rather than himself. His new motivation for becoming a hero is to be someone that can protect smiles, something he likely couldn't do in the future under Iblis. Indeed, all Silver wants is for the world to be happy.

Interestingly, Silver’s empathy also extends to the environment. Due to being surrounded by darkness and devastation his whole life Silver also deeply appreciates blue skies and beautiful intact areas, even Dusty Desert leaves him almost speechless because it's bright and peaceful. Silver is also stated to have fought against disasters in his future and is shown to put out fire tornadoes in Crisis City. He actively tried to restore the environment any way he could.

Silver is also naive, he expects people to believe and cooperate with him when he explains outlandish things about himself and his mission. This is possibly because people in his future simply did cooperate with each other unconditionally which would be necessary to survive(though interestingly, Silver also isn’t very trusting).

We also have this Sonic Pict piece of Silver’s life in the Iblis future. This was overseen by the official Sonic character supervisor Eitaro Toyoda so it is considered informative for the character. Here, The description for it says Silver is a warrior and is taking a rest from his endless battle against Iblis.

Here we can see that Silver had access to rations(the ‘calorie bar’ in his left hand) and some medical supplies in the form of bandages.(What other resources he had in this future are unknown) According to the how it was made page for this piece, Silver is eating an apple flavored calorie bar which shows Silver’s like of apples(and apple flavored things) even before he goes to the Soleanna, also according to the commentary, Silver’s only source of hope at this point was the blue sky that he saw in tattered picture books.

In short. Because of his upbringing in this grim future, Silver is a powerful but naive warrior that is determined to protect peace, both in the happiness of the people and the planet, because he struggled against devastation and despair for most of his life, he has a deep appreciation for people’s smiles and all things beautiful in the world because of it.
