Sonic Underground Reprise: Jackal Squad

Sonic Underground🤝 Sonic Forces; cool premise with potential, bad execution

Order from Left to Right: Quatre, Trois, Duex, Uno, and Vee/Zero/Infinite

Notes:

nomadic, with several bases across the region

their numbers are code names, though they all prefer these to their real names

the five grew up in Madame Fairweather's Sanctuary for Troubled Boys until they ran away together (roughly 10 years ago)

they would throw eachother off a cliff but if anyone else messses with them they are roadkill

100% success rate for their missions

Not Pro-Robotnik, not Anti-Robonik, but a secret 3rd thing (Pro-Getting-Paid)

Occasionally hired by the Azcan tribe for assistance

Uno

22, he/him

medic

weapon of choice: shuriken

Frontman, new clients believe Uno is the leader

Vee/Zero's right hand man, the one he goes to for advice

the most levelheaded of the group

mediator

charismatic, could talk you out of your shoes

the mom friend (to his sqaud only)

Duex

21, they/he

the explosives specialist

weapon of choice: explosive, hatchet

lost their right ear as a child as "punishment" for accidentally breaking a stain glass window

blew themself on their last mission, hence the bandages (their fine)

pyromaniac

he's like Vinny from Atlantis

Trois

18, she/her (trans)

tech expert, locksmith

weapon of choice: custom blaster

low tolerance for active stupidity/liars

tends to fiddle with what ever her latest project is when idle

gets very excited to show her skills/projects

easily frustrated when her devices/plan don't work, but unbearably smug when they do

break her stuff and she will break you

Quatre

14, he/him

the wild card

weapon of choice: twin energy(?) daggers

no filter/calls it like he sees it

a bit of a klepto, the others don't care as long as he's not stealing from them and doesn't screw up the mission

excitable and reckless, often has to be pulled out scrapes, usually Vee

Do NOT call him the baby, he will steal your kneecaps

daggers were a gift from Vee after his first successful solo mission

Vee/Zero

19, he/him

"the Boss", tank

weapon of choice: scarlet scimitar

Vee was Zero's original codename, but he changes it to Zero when his squad's killed

best cook of the group

selfish bastard, always has to be the one to finish off the fight

possessive, very protective of what's his (or what he views to be his)

this includes his squad

heterochromia, though his right eye was damaged as a child during an attempted kidnapping

red onyx necklace was a gift from his boyfriend (part of a matching set)

fuck it i dont have any other ways to share my jackal squad headcanons without Making A Whole Thing so im just gonna infodump about them here

general headcanons

the jackal squad are all siblings, with infinite being the eldest and quatre the youngest

the shadowy ones in the background in the one panel they appear in are not consired. no design no character. trois does get the katana used by one of them though

their names are the same as their semi-official ones: uno for the kunai thrower, deux for the one with the beret, trois for the girl, and quatrre for the one with the green bandana

the number names are codenames. infinite's codename is cero. zero, while cool-sounding, is just a bit too generic for me, so i have him share uno's quirk of being named in spanish rather than french. the other ones presumably have real names but they never come up and they always call each other by their codenames

they were initially collectively called the ultimate mercenaries until around the time that they were emoloyed by eggman, when infinite started trying to distance himself from his siblings. that's also why eggman calls him by his real name and why he acts so selectively dismissive about the apparent demise of his family in the flashback

the jackal squad survive getting fridged shortly before the episode shadow flashback, but infinite doesn't know this. i am Not coping they are Not dead they are So much more plausibly alive than the guy who killed them was at the end of his debut game!! coping? me... he's calling me coping? no...! i am not coping. i'm... i'm not. i'm not coping! i! am NOT! COPING! GRAAAAGH !!!

dynamics

cero: the leader of the whole operation. a bit more domineering than some of them would like. a bit self-centered, but ultimately means well for his siblings. always insists he has a plan even though he usually doesn't. he always finds a way to improvise out of every sticky situation he gets them into, though. well i mean other than that one situation that he very notably did not get them out of

uno: plays up the cool and distant act but actually cares a lot about his siblings. he might get snippy with cero from time to time but ultimately he trusts his older brother. he's a good tactician and as such ends up acting as second in command a lot of the time. when cero leaves the squad, uno readily fills the position of leader.

deux: techie. if he's not physically there for a given run, he's usually running mission control. the jackal squad hq has a giant computer specifically for him. when he is there, he's a very calculating and relatively independent fighter. has a dry but nonetheless present sense of humor.

trois: a bit hotheaded and standoffish. the primary one to question cero's choices. cares openly and passionately about her brothers. has a habit of overthinking.

quatre: optimistic, always tries to see the good in a situation and encourages his siblings to do the same. often makes quips to try and lighten the mood. sometimes makes it easy to forget that he does, in fact, kill people for money, alongside the rest of the squad.

Of all things, looking at pokemon fusions got me to finally start playing dress up with the Jackal Squad

Started with Quatre (can't decide whether Quatre is her actual name or if her name is a Kat name with Quatre being a codename). Out of the whole squad she took the most after Infinite.

[secondary-colorentimy]

actually the jackal squad are just a group silly siblings 🤨🤨

[theroguejackal]

I’m torn between eye color which one do you think looks good or suits him better?

[knuckie-head]

Quatre my beloved ❤️

I wonder how much trauma I can fit in this bad boy

[zimothys-doodles]

(doin it right this time!) Uhh Quatre and Ebony from fleetway just, hangin out maybe, honestly they're just the two that came to mind when thinkin of random characters who were outta left field lmao

Idk anything about either of them and I'm serving this as a reminder to read sonic the comic sometime

good morning

[lostcanine]

                WHEN THE HANDS OF FATE.

          Fall on the midnight hour.

                                Behind this mask of hate.

    I don the DEVIL’S POWER.

                                              These are the devil's eyes. The devil's eyes.                                              GO!       

[fantasiac]

I have decided to put Jackal Squad in Sonic Ivory!

They are (going to be) designed based on Infinite's Concept Art and are direct Rivals to the Diamond Cutters The members are;

Zero = Infinite - Using the Scrapped Design Above Uno = Void - Using the Demon Design Deux = Havoc - Using the Bull Design Trois = Apex - Using the Ghost design

Infinite betrays the group and then uses a design closer to his official one, and then Apex, Void and Havoc become a team from Sonic Heroes or smth

[h0u-h0u]

(1/2) some minor jackal squad redesigns (that i totally hadn’t forgotten about)—mainly just color changes bc it always bothered me they basically had the same color palette ??… I get there like super minor characters, but it always bothered me. aside from that, I just changed what type of jackal they are. Uno is a side striped jackal and deux is a black-back jackal.

+ bonus of infinite being a cutie patootie

[secondary-colorentimy]

i love this family

[theroguejackal]

I think I put a little too much detail on these silhouettes

For Today’s drawing we have my 2 favorite member of the Jackal Squad Zero (Infinite) and Quatre
