Umbra was tense. Disbelieving. There was no way. No way.

That couldn't be him. He had seen him. Had watched as the virus... completely consumed him and turned him into nothing but a puddle of more of that dangerously infectious substance. And yet. Here he... seemed to be. Was he hallucinating? Had the virus evolved more? Dear Chaos... sweet Gaia... he hoped not. If it evolved more, it could risk his current immunity to it.

"... You're supposed to be dead." Umbra said tightly. His arms and legs were wrapped in thick metal based fibers so he could make sure to grab supplies without getting superficial wounds on the limbs from broken glass and other inorganic material or on the sharp spikes of some of the... zombots wandering about.

He drops instantly into a defensive stance. His eyes have turned a golden tint from the constant use of Chaos energy. One of his inhibitor rings looked recently repaired. The other was dull and seemed on the verge of cracking. He's looking over the bloodied hedgehog, visibly wary and almost anxious and high strung.

Kolossus had been.. confused at first. Obviously this wasnt the survivor they’d been tormenting for so long, he lacked the multiple eyes on the face. But the fear didnt go unnoticed. Infact the huge bloodied hog fed off that fear. Thats why he tormented them. Not for fun, but to feed off their fear. Their despair. And feed off their bodies. He was a hunter. A predator. Not someone to play games.

So as the hedgehog stared him over, noticing that hes taller than the survivor hes used to seeing, kolossus leans forward twords umbra, mouth tilted upwards in a toothy smile. Large tail slowly wagging as he flexes his singular paw. He certainly looks fucked up. One singular arm intact, the other stripped of flesh and fur, a mess of tissue, muscle, and bone. With three sharp bones jutting where his paw used to be. Blood soaking his fur and not to mention.. the fact hes littered in wounds. From burn scarring to downright bite marks or deep gashes, hes been through the wringer of determined survivors prey. He lets out a dark little laugh, its gurgled and ugly, as blood wells in his throat from the movements until it pools from his mouth as he isn’t bothered to spit.

“Tteehcnically… dead…” he stutters out through gargles and gags. Hes usually silent for a reason but perhaps this other shadow dserves some awnser.

@shxdesofchaos liked for a Lore-based starter!

It had been nothing but pain and suffering on both sides. A fight that surely wouldnt be forgotten right?- well- thats what infinite thought. Along the lines that he’d win aswell- fueled by pure rage, sadness, and etc- the jackal had fought till he couldnt anymore with the ruby against the hero’s. And when he finally realized he couldnt beat them- it was too late. The last thing the jackal remembered was a harsh strike of chaos energy through his body and plummeting from where he was flying in the air.

His ‘body’ had been lost to the heros, due to the fact in a last ditch effort to preserve the jackals life- he had been trapped inside the ruby that kept his body alive. And because of that- they had yet to find where the gem had clattered to. And that was probably for the best- there was alot of discussion about snapping or destroying the gem. Which, in turn- meant killing infinite.

His fate rested in the hands of whoever found the ruby first, it seemed. It laid under some bloodied bushes- laying in a puddle of blood from the jackal that made it look like the ruby was bleeding or melting into it. But it was just from the jackal. It made good to try and not glow very brightly to not alert danger, the only remaining item of the jackal- for the moment- was his mask, that was discarded on the floor a distance away from where the ruby hid itself.

@shxdesofchaos asked: ❤: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

Unpopular Opinions

OH BOY WHERE DO I START-?

Listen, I've only been in the Sonic fandom for, like, a year and a bit, but holy fuck can you guys not agree on how ANY of these characters are represented in ANYTHING.

But as for my personal opinion on this matter.... it's Sonic himself. I am of the opinion that Sonic does not need to be the exact same character throughout every interpretation that's made. Like for example, Movie Sonic should not be acting the same way as Archie Sonic given the story they're trying to tell. And apparently, according to a loud fraction of the fandom, Sonic just isn't allowed to do anything! There are times where it makes sense for him to act like a stoic hero who follows the wind and his own moral code, and there are times when he should be a goofy teenager just trying to do good by his friends and family. It all matters on what kind of story is being told, and the general vibe the story is going for too. Fun fact; I think Sonic Prime is a decent show, even though how it chooses to spend its time is flawed.

[ FIND ] + Reverse (To Mephiles; Context of injuries: Shadow had to flee after nearly losing to Black Doom & losing control over his own body & Shadow went around the edge of where the boss fight happens)

@shxdesofchaos / nonverbal prompts

---- Mephiles wanders. Like some kind of near-forgotten memory from someone else's childhood, this nostalgic ghost drifts from one dark corner to another, grasping onto reality and refusing to let go. He is bound to nothing, to no one - he is barely even bound to himself. Reality feels like a fading dream, but he refuses to yield back to oblivion. He is not going back into that damned Scepter.

Then, he smells blood.

The spirit immediately is drawn toward it. That scent is familiar, that presence summoning him like a spell. Mephiles follows his instincts, rounding the corner, only to find .... Ah, isn't this interesting ? Shadow the Hedgehog, on the verge of defeat. Mephiles could simply leave him here to perish, maybe even expedite his exit from this plane, but he doesn't. There's something within him that makes him pause. Instead, he turns his glowing eyes upon the other.

" This certainly isn't your day, is it ? "

[therestingwaves]

Umbra has been sprawled out with all manner of Chao lying on him for the past few hours.

He may have fallen asleep. It's... difficult to tell.

(This is technically at both Chaos and Chip)

- @shxdesofchaos

Feeling an uninvited presence in the chao gardens has definitely caught the attention of chaos himself, afterall, its just supposed to be the chao here. He doesn’t usually invite mobians to his gardens out of the fact he knows they’ve been developing… eating habits. To eat his chao. So, ofcourse from the gardens pool, water ripples as the god emerges, sure, chip didnt seem panicked telling him there was somebody and he couldnt hear chaos panicking but he wasn’t convinced yet.

Before you know it, umbra has a slightly angry god of water looming over him. Trying to understand what in the blazes could be happening here and how all the chao are just. Piled like that. Bright green eyes shining down on them all until one of the chao seem to stir, and get excited seeing him. Which ofcourse is starting some chain reaction of chao waking up happy to see chaos. Reaching a hand over them, he roughly taps the mobians forehead. Narrowing his eyes.

@shxdesofchaos

The bioweapon clicked one of his talons against the floor, staring at the hedgehog with a tilted head. Normally, the Indoraptor was aggressive towards anything that moved but this case was...different.

Something about the other didn't smell right, a pheromone that made his quills stand on end.

A kindred soul, perhaps?"

"Eternity is not really a blessing, but a curse." - @shxdesofchaos (to Lancelot)

@shxdesofchaos

"Yes… I agree, eternity does appear as the desire of many, yet as thou dost dwell within its grasp thou shalt perceive it as a dire curse. It's sad that the multitude are blind to such truth…"

[tripletrcuble]

@shxdesofchaos: > do "it".

How cute.

“And what exactly is this it then?”

[warriorscend]

Umbra... has no idea where he is. Again. The hoglet is beginning to think the universe must really not like the ARK. It was safe there! Sure, the tests didn't feel good... but they were necessary. All the scientists said so! Even the professor said so!

The tiny hedgehog pouts, barely feet padding on the ground and avoiding areas that felt too pointy or rough on the pads on his feet both at the sole of the foot itself and on each of his clawed toes. The gold of the inhibitor rings gleams in the sunlight.

"Hello?" Umbra called out carefully.

- @shxdesofchaos

Oh great - more unwanted company. He hears the intruder long before he sees them. Well, it's not exactly hearing at first as much as sensing the energy of their wavelength and how strangely it differs from the birds and the Chao of the island that he's grown attuned to, recognizing them easily against the back drop of the emerald's incessant hum. So when such a wavelength far different than the usual fare appears quite suddenly, he knows he's in for some form of altercation. And given how most of them have gone so far (with the emerald's resting place in jeopardy of being disturbed), he's not taking chances with pleasantries.

Spin dashing out of the thick foliage, he speeds right over, unfurling at the last second with such momentum that the resounding gust he brings with it is likely to knock down any Chao sized creatures with ease. With a fist dug into the ground where he'd stopped himself short of just barreling into the strange energy, he lifts his head to see...is that a child? On HIS island? Brows knit as he fully unfurls to his full height, towering over the small hedgehog with a stern gaze.

"Tiny hedgehog, this is no place for your kind to wander! How did you even get up here?" A floating island left little way of entrances for those without wings or rings, and since the child clearly lacks one of those, he's hoping there's a stash of the latter on him so that the echidna might send him away with haste. "Speak up!"

[a0iakuma]

@shxdesofchaos requested a starter for the displaced future.

He sat there with new shorter quills ⸻ cut down to the base of his neck, a different change and a new way to cope. He had a photo album. It wasn't open yet as Sonic was hesitating. His fingers have been brushing against the spine for minutes now, then he pushes it to Umbra. He promises himself not to cry, but it was hard when he was on edge. ( Though it felt like he always on edge. )

“ It's still too much for me. I don't think I can do this yet. ” He can't bear seeing his friends, knowing that they've all passed now. Even his brother, Tails.

[agodlikehog]

Bloop! There is now a baby hoglet in the exes midst. Where did he come from? Nobody knows! But he looks upset and queasy, and there is a strip of his forearm missing. The other arm bears a bunch of needle marks, including signs of an IV. - @shxdesofchaos

The hoglet seemed to bloop into the middle of an argument between the doll and the smaller blue hog, the larger sat and holding his knees angrily with his stomach roaring loudly. The argument was about something stupid, the three were hangry considering the survivors were getting smarter and knew how to fight back more and more. But the arguments cut short by the sudden scent of the young hoglets presence. Eyes and heads snap twords the little thing. A small hoglet shadow?

Free snack.

Kolossus is the first to make a move. Loud snarls emit from his throat as the blood in his mouth oozes out and messes his muzzle up. Slamming his paw onto the floor, its not long before the massive deity looms over umbra, stomach roaring and a hungry stare at him. Currently- all they see this child as is a snack. He has to get the baby close, though. So he can shred him apart with his mangled arm.

[asktheevilgeniusesson]

Tests were hard. He'd just gotten done with one, singed and still slightly twitchy from the level of electrical current they'd pumped through his body. The professor had been overseeing it. And... for a moment, he hadn't seemed so nice.

'An Ultimate Lifeform shouldn't have limits.'

Those words echoed in the tiny hog's brain as he was let down and allowed, at minimum, to allow the aftereffects of the test to run their course.

Or at least, that had been the idea. The walls had become unfamiliar and instead of space outside with a view of the planet... he saw... trees?

The hoglet gave a confused noise before bumping into a leg and falling backward, the small contact causing a tiny bit of the static electricity still in his quills to transfer to the fur on the limb.

"Ow—huh?" (To Infinite — @shxdesofchaos )

Infinite had been out on a patrol as usual, to sniff out any unwelcome guests trying to infiltrate the base.. the basics of his job when it wasnt time to beat the snot outta the heros. So you could imagine when the mercenary felt something touch,and then shock his leg ever so slightly, he whipped around and without missing a beat, sliced his dagger twords the sudden contact, narrowly missing the little hoglet as his dagger stabs into the ground in a violent manner that digs through the dirt. Noticing he missed, he immediatly turns his head to glare the new target dead in the eyes. Thats when he sees what and who it is.

Shadow. But young. Small. Tiny. And alittle fritzed on electricity. Its not hard to notice his eye shrinking in size and oupil sharpening like a snake eye almost as a deep guttural snarl escapes his throat. Looming over thr little thing with heavy breaths and angry dog snarling. This little shit. This little thing.. it’d grow up to torment him. He couldnt find himself wondering how shadow was this small. Or why he was this small. He didnt care. All he could think or focus on was the hoglet underneath him and the voice of the ruby. Invisible claws wrapping around his body in a safe hug as an invisible force whispers through his ear. This thing wasnt some innocent child.

It was to grow to be genocidal maniac. Deserving of death.

With that in mind. He yanks the dagger from the grass and lifts it over the little thing, a crazed look in his eye as the glowing red sclera brightens more. Turning his pupil the same red as the ruby with little purple swirls that mimic its design.

“Ohohoh.. YOU. YOU’RE GOING TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU’VE DONE.”

[dr-starline]

@the-muse-coven/@fragmented-deity/@shxdesofchaos liked for a doodle!

I couldn't decide which to draw so i did both. He barely ever meets people taller than him...

[adarkpastandbrightfuture]

"...Hm. I forgot I used to be this small." - @shxdesofchaos

“‘Used to be’? what the fuck is that supposed to-“

…oh. That is. A very tall version of him, isnt it? The ebony hedgehog stared up at the taller variant with a narrow-eyed look, flicking his ears back just abit in a minor annoyance. First, another silver that gave him a headache. Now another version of himself? Atleast he wasn’t screaming.

“..hm. I see now. I assume you got stuck in this timeline like the other silver did? Im not sure if i’m the right hedgehog to come to about timeline hopping mishaps.”

🕯️-shxdesofchaos (for Umbra)

send me 🕯️to hear my character's inner thoughts about your character. (status — closed!)

Oh, this one. Didn't you indirectly tell me I was cute? What the hell is cute about me, for one, and two, what gives you the right to call me cute?... Whatever, you're a step up from all of the other ones, at least. I can play nice for now. We can stay indifferent like this, just as long as you don't fucking call me Maria.
