#shadow unfortunately belongs to sega

Intro Post!

Hello my fellow Sonic enthusiasts! If you're following this blog, you probably know the drill, but if you're just seeing this now, I'll give you the rundown. If you don't care, keep scrolling! But it would make me really really happy if you stayed, I'll even give you a cookie.

This little guy is Eclipse the Darkling (and his kids). He's from the Sonic Archie comics, specifically Sonic Universe! He was substituted in for Mephiles after SEGA proclaimed he was off limits, for a Sonic Universe story about Shadow's angsty past coming back to fuck with him. They're brothers! (Shadow is not enthused about this fact.)

Shocker.

Unfortunately though, Archie Sonic was discontinued before Eclipse could get the redemption arc that writer Ian Flynn had planned. (That's right, he doesn't belong to Ken Penders! My hope still lives!)

But fear not, an insanely autistic queer (me) with a crippling special interest in this facet of the Sonic franchise has come to save the day.

Do not doubt my wisdom, I have written 16 single spaced pages of notes on the Black Arms and Shadow.

Am I aware very few people even know who Eclipse is? Very much so. Do I care? No lol.

I care very deeply for this little guy and his brooding big brother, and I want to give him the redemption arc he deserves.

I'm aware making a webcomic is a very difficult and time consuming process, but I really really want this to happen. I may open a kofi or patreon eventually, but for now all I can ask of you guys is support!

Welcome aboard!

(Oh, and if you wanna make cool stuff, tag it with #eclipses redemption so I'll see it!)

Cybernetic AU-

Sonic in this universe is like the original… But his trauma has been presented a lot more openly as a problem along with having physical repurcussions for them. He came from the exact same background as Canon Sonic, but with a few key differences… Mostly because Shadow's entire character was completely overhauled, and some alternate canons did influence his story (Archie and X). His powers are practically the same.

As for who he is as a person and the world he's coming out from, it's post Forces and Metal Virus. Along with facing the injury of losing his leg, Sonic's mental state keeps taking a toll on him. His friends continuously try to help, but get pushed away. And apparently what leads him to getting the help he needs is through yet another World Ending Event™.

The End had returned through a curse Eggman tried to use, attempting to force Sonic back into Cyberspace. This unfortunately backfires as the End slowly gains control over Sonic's body before fully taking it over. Once his friends rescue him and the End is defeated once again, all is well.

Until it isn't anymore. Because this never stops. Sonic always keeps going. He's too persistent and self-sacrificial, and means no harm to his friends. He's always doing the right thing and forced to keep up appearances since the entire WORLD looks up to him. It's a vicious cycle he's gotten trapped in. One he doubts he'd be able to escape from anytime soon.

Break the Cage AU-

Backstory: He broke out of his game and went undercover as a game designer for Sega to find a way for his friends to break out with him. Most nights he's plagued by hallucinations of his friends guilt tripping him for not being able to get them out.

Personality: He's a every 80's guy with his closet looking like it came straight from there. If anyone asks about the ears or tail he just says it's cosplay.

Abilities: he has all the abilities he has in canon (+ the ability to see and talk to ghosts) but hides them.

Fun facts: He changed his name from Sonic to Nicky Needlemouse. Only character controlled by players can break out, so it was Sonic's/Nicky's idea to make his friends playable in the Frontiers Final update. Their pronouns are he/they trans masc and they are aroace.

Characters (shown in the illustration) from left to right: Raidon, Keira, Fleetway (AU), Mysta, Siegfried, Scorch, Brutus

Introducing my sonic ocs and the story they’re involved in! C: Hope you like them as much as I do!~

Ataraxia Overview

Note: This story is separate from the Sonic Universe & isn't involved with it in any way! Fleetway belongs to SEGA but this version of him is just an AU version for my story. The rest of these characters are my OCs!

A world war has taken place on the planet of Charis. The 6 nations are divided once more due to Zeinor's new leader's greed. An organization in Equx launches Project: ATARAXIA, recruiting many powerful allies to help put an end to this tiresome war and put Zeinor's corrupt high council back to their place.

There are 6 nations inhabiting different territories:

Zeinor: Lush Green Hills

Racoris: Badlands

Asin: Ocean

Equx: Rainforest

Igon: Tundra

Niani: Desert Chasms

OC Info

Runihura; or Raidon (to his friends), is a thorny devil who survived a raid upon his scorching desert of a home. Unlike most of his allies, he does not have any superpowers, yet still is regarded as equally important due to his proficiency at battle strategies. That doesn't mean he's completely helpless in combat either, as he makes good use of his arm blades and whatever abilities being a thorny devil give him. He hopes to one day take back his home from the nation that took over his homeland.

Keira is a weaponized hedgehog who was kidnapped and imprisoned in an underground lab by the high council (her nation's government lmao). During her imprisonment, Keira was tested on and as a result gained two powers: umbrakinesis (shadow manipulation) and umbra-electrokinesis (destructive lightning manipulation). Eventually she escaped during a containment breach caused by Fleetway (he's also a test subject :C), and fled to another continent to seek refuge. Once she was taken in by an organization that plans on ending the war (also is the reason behind everyone meeting each other), she honed her abilities and mastered the art of the scythe.

Fleetway is a hedgehog of noble status, but unfortunately inherited his bloodline's infamous ability: chaos manipulation. He was sent to the underground lab after his home was threatened to be destroyed by the high council. Like Keira, he too was tested on, and continually lost control of his powers (the side effects essentially send him into a state of insanity). As he grew stronger, he wrecked havoc upon the lab, and was transferred into Zeinor's military. Under the high council's control, he performed few mass genocides to earn their trust. Once he's no longer their dog on a leash, Fleetway plans to burn the corrupt high council to the ground.

Soleil; or Mysta, is a boisterous cat who's also an aspiring fashion designer. There isn't much to her background other than having failed at so many jobs she finally landed one that involved her making combat outfits. She designed some of the clothes for our main cast of characters and constantly drags them out to shop with her. Besides that, Mysta is adept at the art of magic (it's actually telekinesis but she's lazy to say it), but due to her... being a cat... you might see her use it in the most useless ways out of combat and work.

Siegfried is a tiger who hails from a land of eternal winter. Like Raidon, he fled his country once enemy troops seized his home. After witnessing his home's destruction from a distance, he vows to protect and support his allies and friends in order to never see them meet such a fate. Siegfried's natural kindness, cheekiness and sense of responsibility allows him to assume the older brother role for his friends. Besides this, he also excels at photokinesis. It sounds incredibly useless in combat, and you'd be right, as Siegfried assumes more of a support role in a fight. Blinding foes and creating light clones to momentarily distract them is his job - this is to allow for his comrades an opportunity to strike.

Scorch is a lion mercenary who was sent over to the organization to help increase their strength. Scorch can come off as overconfident and a bit of a hot-head sometimes (it doesn't help that he has "exploding fire manipulation" as an ability). Despite his pride and arrogance, he has a soft-spot for his friends and family. An experienced fighter, he's known in his homeland for his tough training (he trains his siblings but goes a lil easier on them HAHA). Everyone he trained have shown significant improvement, and Keira, who sought his combat guidance when she arrived at the organization, is no different.

Brutus is a thresher shark who hails from an underwater sea kingdom. Unlike the rest of the gang, he’s what we know as a “merman”. Like his kind, he is able to breathe in both underwater and on the surface — however, he has no legs, which is why he uses a pair of mechanical legs on land. Snarky and kind of an ass overall, Brutus brings life (chaos) to the table, and his comments tend to be… controversial. On the flip side, he’s extremely loyal, competent and brings his share of skills to the team, even though he likes provoking his teammates for fun.

Hey guy's, while we're waiting on chapter nine to arrive, I thought I'd just do a few doodles for fun! (Can you even call these doodles..?) I didn't get to use every idea I had in this image, so I might make a second edition of doodles. Context. 1: Strange Happenings. Basically before Shadow transformed for the first time, he started doing weird things, such as growling (more than usual..) eating ravenously, and he even howled at one point, which is what you're seeing now. 2: The First Transformation. Basically this is when Shadow transformed for the first time, and as you can tell by the picture, he was VERY scared, and confused, he had NO idea what was going on. 3: In Denial. Shadow was naturally terrified when he first saw himself in the mirror after the transformation, he didn't wanna believe that was his reflection, he was hoping this was just some weird dream, unfortunately for him, he was VERY wrong.. 4: Still Got It. Even as a werehog, Shadow's still got his signature tough guy act. 5: A Werehog's Howl. Besides the growling, howling is the only canine behavior Shadow's gotten used to, the rest of it, not so much.. There's actually a chaos power he obtained called Chaos Howl, an ultra sonic howl which allows him to stun his enemies, and shatter any glass like material. 6: A Friend's Support. When Rouge found out about Shadow being a werehog, she was understandably shocked, but once she got used to it, she actually thought it was pretty neat. 7: A Dog At Heart. Shadow secretly loves it when people pet him, he especially likes ear scritches, the thing is though, he only let's a VERY small amount of people do it, that being Sonicverse Kylie Dear, Rouge, Sonia, and Cream, he would let Omega do it if it weren't for the fact that Omega is very rough. Maybe if you asked him politely, he'd let you pet him, but those are the people he's comfortable receiving affection from. Now if someone like Sonic, or Eggman tried to pet him, he'd immediately get defensive, and snarl at them. And that's all I've got for now, I hope you like these, let me know your thoughts in the comments, and I love you my Venice Angels. 💗 Credit to https://sonic-x.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_X_Wiki for the reference photos.
