A Step in the Right Direction - Book 2

Link here: [ A03 ]

Summary:

After the events that led to a cybug infestation in Sugar Rush, the reveal of a false king, and the eventual reinstatement of the original leadership. A thorough checking of the candy go-kart cabinet’s code was in order. During the check up, it was found that Turbo hadn’t been as “dead” as most would have wanted to be.

This led to a flurry of panic as those who could be considered in charge of the arcade’s residence struggled to figure out what to do.

It was decided that they would need to think up a plan that would keep the racer from ever destroying the livelihood of any game in Litwak’s ever again. As well as allow for him to make up for his grievous mistakes.

So, there they all were. Deep within the confines of Hero’s Duty. The chapel filled with the chosen delegates to puzzle out a suitable punishment.

A newly regenerated Turbo sat on the front row of the pews. Chained and bored out of his mind. Hoping that they would get it over with already. Surely, they knew as well as he did how it was all going to end. One short drop and a sudden stop. It'd be ludicrous to believe that he could ever have a chance for anything better. Not after everything.

Yippee joining the club! Welcome Sakura and Eyes ‼️ (aka Steel but Tails had a plan)

Will put some lore out later, just wanted to get designs down. The lore is a bit tragic anyway and I have to fix it up 😔✌️

because i've been in been in the biology industry for so long that i can no longer judge what's common knowledge and what's actually very niche

how aware are most people that there's a protein called Sonic hedgehog protein, coded for by the SHH gene?

and that it is one of the core proteins responsible for development in all animals?

i can say 'Sonic hedgehog causes cancer' and i'm not even shitposting. it's scientific fact.

was figuring out a design for silver and i liked it so yay! the gray pawpads/markings + bracelets glow when he's using his telekinesis

[id: digital drawing of silver the hedgehog. he's stylized to be more fluffy and have a long, tufted tail like a unicorn's. he's wearing a short-sleeved dark blue jacket with teal accents, a yellow shirt, baggy dark purple pants with teal accents, and his regular boots. he also still has his bracelets, but they are powered down. he isn't wearing his regular gloves, so his gray pawpads are visible, with a gray line marking that runs along the underside of his arm. he appears to be floating midair, smiling casually as he raises up one arm.

there is a cropped drawing of just his arm, where the gray pawpads and markings, as well as the bracelet, are now glowing cyan. end id]

Today I am once again reminded that there is a Sonic hedgehog gene in the body. It encodes the Sonic hedgehog protein. Sonic hedgehog is involved in a LARGE AMOUNT OF GROWTH in our body, and may behave as a signaler in various forms of cancer. :3

my shadow t hedgehog hot take is that hes actually meant to be the healer of the party sadly sonic games don’t have hp bars and he has dps multipliers

Sakura ref 🌸

She is their eldest child. Created using the formulas from Project Shadow, however those needed to be taken from GUN. Shadow and Rouge went on a shopping trip and came back with the secret sauce to her existence. They let Tails cook, and Sakura emerged from the vat as a little baby. Unfortunately Eggman showed up and snatched the formulas and some leftover genetic material… 🤭

Super detailed lore I know🧍‍♂️

Eyes ref next but I have an assessment due in two days I haven’t started 💀

what if...

[sonicjustbecause]

Silver has asymptomatic osteochondrodyslpasia (mutant TRPV4 gene/Fd gene). In short, he is a 'fold'. And other...

I'm discussing also Silver's cat like features.

I already said both Sonic and Shadow have cat-like features, in particular Shadow being a calico. But Silver also has a feature belonging to a certain type of cats.

Because of the cannabis-shaped mane, he may seems without ears at first glance. But, even looking closely, his ears are hard to spot.

Here it is: Silver's ears are unusually set apart, flattened and tiny. Shadow and Sonic have their ears three time larger.

Those kind of ears are typical of Scottish Fold and Ukrainian Levkoy cat breed.

Sonic and Shadow: Straight, upright ears. Silver: short, bending forward ears. It is called a 'single fold' because they're still visible.

My first cat, Goku. She had a mutant TRPV4 gene and had what is called a single fold. Her fold was subtle, the small size of her ears was noticeable. My cat was just a mixed breed, her mum was a regular long haried feral cat, her dad most likely a Scottish Fold, but there is a chance she just developed the mutation on her own.

Now, what is is osteochondrodysplasia? Is what cause the ears to stay small and bend forward. It affects the carlilages of the animal in his whole body. Is actually a form of dwarfism, even when the animal grow large in size (My cat was so large they mistook her as a male) However, if only copy of the gene is present, there is a high change that the symptoms are only cosmetic (small, folded ears). My cat lived 19 years without developing any symptoms of the condition, ear shape aside. However if the condition develops fully (especially in case of a double mutand TRPV4 gene), it causes pain, stiffness and deformed paws and tail.

Apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks Silver is a fold.

Here Silver is drawn with a triple fold. The triple fold is the most requested by cats lover. But, as a former owner of a cat with a single fold, I like to see character with ears similar to those of my cat.

Silver doesn't seems to have other symptoms of osteochondrodysplasia. But he is unusually stiff, he doesn't curl despite being an hedgehog, favoring flight/absence of gravity.

Is SILVER!!!, well, about, more to come - He even has black highlighst around his eyes.

Two Ukrainian Levkoy.

Silver's secondary characteristic:

Sonic and Shadow have long quills, with Shadow having a sligtly fluffier look thanks to his thicker fur and his soft, white spot on his chest.

But Silver literally has a ruff. The ruff is typical of long haired cats. I've never seen a long haired hedgehog. The mutation didn't settle yet (there are, hovever, hedgehogs who have regular fur instead of quills). Silver also has longer quills on the back of his head. Meaning, Silver is long haired.

Silver's fur colour is pale blue, a very diluited black fur and is a 'self', meaning is his only colour, without any spot or pattern (Unlike Sonic who is bi-colour tuxedo and Shadow who is calico/tricolour), with white undercoat (Smokey) well shown in his ruff.

I wonder if Sega did it on purpose. I mean, making Sonic, Shadow and Silver looking like cats, even having unique cats features and giving them some hedgehogs traits, naming them 'hedgehogs''.
