Behold my Sonic fankids!

Buckle up y'all I'm about to lore-drop

Dash the Hedgehog: Son of Sonic and Amy. He's a speedy, fun-loving kid with a big heart. Future hero of Mobius but for now is mostly having fun exploring with his dad and racing anyone he meets. Also has a hammer like Amy's, with which he can do cool tricks.

Mouse the Owl: Adopted daughter of Sonic and Amy. Found and brought home by Dash after her parents were killed by an Eggman scheme. She's really sweet and a bit shy, and is basically the equivalent of Tails for Dash. Best friends with Tikal.

Nova Prower: The girl that grew from Cosmo's seed. Raised by single dad Tails and is a great mechanic like him! Loves sunlight and nature and going on adventures with her Papa.

Ash the Cat: Son of Blaze and Silver and twin brother of Aura. As the crown prince chosen by the Sol Emeralds, he inherited Blaze's fire powers. He's very stoic and serious, taking his role as future king very seriously.

Aura the Hedgehog: Twin sister of Ash. Is far more spunky and playful, and tries to drag her brother out to do fun things instead of studying. Inherited Silver's telekinesis.

Knuckles the Bat-chidna, a.k.a. Knux: Firstborn son of Knuckles and Rouge. Relatively rare in having mixed species features rather than only taking after one. He's rather rebellious and doesn't want to take on the warrior lifestyle on Angel Island, preferring thievery.

Spear the Echidna: Second son of Knuckles and Rouge. Far more serious about his tribal heritage than his older brother, and because of this is next in line to take on the Guardianship of the Master Emerald. Devoted to the warriors lifestyle and protecting his family.

Jewel the Bat: Daughter of Knuckles and Rouge. Sweet and simple, well-trained in fighting but prefers not to. Is dedicated to finding all the secrets of Angel Island, taking care of its Chao population, and recording the history of the Echidna for future generations. Not named after Jewel the Beetle but they do become friends after realizing they share a name.

Hunter the Bat: Son of Knuckles and Rouge. Inherited both of his parents' treasure hunting tendencies and loves to explore. His wings grew in too small, making him the only member of his family who can't fly/glide, although he can hover for a short amount of time. That doesn't stop him from traveling all over the world! Honorary member of Team Kid Chaotix (the next generation of the Chaotix).

Tikal the Echidna: Youngest daughter of Knuckles and Rouge. Small and spunky! Is still a bit young for warrior training, but she's ready to go when she can! Loves animals and swimming and playing around Angel Island. Goddaughter of her namesake, and is able to interact with her and Chaos. Best friends with Mouse.

Night the Wolf: Son of Shadow and Whisper. Autistic and almost entirely non verbal. Is super powerful, with Shadow's abilities, but is very quiet, calm, and stoic. Because of his resting angry face, people think he's kind of grumpy like his dad, but he's actually pretty chill. Very close with his "cousin" Knux.

Maria the Hedgehog: Daughter of Shadow and Whisper. Fun, spunky, loud, and energetic. Basically has the energy and noise of the rest of the family combined. Loves to get into fights and Night constantly has to bail her out. Also has Shadow's abilities, especially running. Loves to run. Always has a different fun design on her T-shirt.

Mint the Bunny-dile: Daughter of Vector and Vanilla. Like Knux, is a rare mixed-species kid, although mostly crocodile. Is hard of hearing due to physical issues with the connection of rabbit ears with a crocodile head. Is very big and strong, sometimes not knowing her own strength. Sweet and a bit rough-and-tumble. Is a big proponent of body positivity due to being mixed-species as well as growing up around primarily mammal mobians who were a lot smaller than her at the same age.

Gale the Hawk: Daughter of Jet. Fast, cool, and a bit egotistical but ultimately good-hearted. Loves racing and pushing herself to learn new tricks and new types of racing. Like wearing the "retro" hand-me-downs from her Aunt Wave (okay actually I haven't decided if I ship Wave and Jet or see them as siblings so for now it's just "aunt")

Thanks for letting me ramble! Feel free to ask me about my babies 😁

I have been on an OC kick recently (don't worry we will soon return to your regularly scheduled Sonic program) so I made moodboards for some of my favorite fankids 😁

Knux the Bat-chidna

Wanted to post a little infodump about my Knuxouge fankid, Knux!

Knux (full name Knuckles Jr.) is the firstborn of Knuckles and Rouge's five kids. Unlike most kids of interspecies relationships, which tend to fully take on the species of one or the other of their parents, Knux is a "mixed" kid, with both Bat and Echidna features. He's also the only of his siblings to be mixed.

Knux gets his aggressive temperament from both Rouge and Knuckles, being extremely stubborn, angry, and quick to solve his problems with his fists. He's also a thief like Rouge.

As the firstborn, Knux was assumed to be the next guardian of the Master Emerald, and Knuckles attempted to train him to fulfill that duty. Knux wasn't particularly interested, although he tried. But when Knuckles tried to properly "introduce" him to the M.E., it sensed the darkness in his heart and passed him over as guardian in favor of his younger brother, Spear.

To be completely honest, Knux never really wanted the responsibilities that came with being guardian of the M.E.. He's not at all patient and wants the freedom to explore and do his own thing. But being passed over made him bitter, and caused a rift between him and Knuckles.

When Knux got older, he ended up attempting to steal the Master Emerald for his own. However, because of his use of force and the anger in his heart, the M.E. essentially "posseses" him, giving him a form similar to Dark Sonic or Enerjak. He has a huge fight with Knuckles, Spear, and the rest of the family. He's finally able to break out of that form, but the experience made him realize some of his own issues and he ends up leaving for a while to kind of figure himself out.

I do also have a redemption arc planned for him, but for a while he travels around living as a thief and randomly showing up at Uncle Shadow's place at 3 am to make a plate of sandwiches and crash on the couch.

Been meaning to post this art of my fankid Knux for a bit but I had to get some of his backstory out first.

Behold Possessed!Knux.

When Knux attempts to steal the Master Emerald for himself, it connects with the evil intentions in his heart and amplifies them, causing him to be possessed by the M.E.. It's a form pretty similar to Dark Sonic, but actually evil. He essentially loses himself within himself and has to have help being pulled back out. This experience causes him to rethink some things and decide not to mess with powers that aren't his. It's not a full 180°, but it's the first step on his journey to redemption.

Some quick fankid doodles!

Decided to do some different duo interactions with this one. Dash and Maria are friendly rivals, Night and Knux are "cousins", Ash and Aura are twins, and Mint and Serene are "cousins"/aunt and niece.
