Hi there! I’m Chips, my pronouns are he/him, and welcome to my creative works blog! I’m gonna be mainly using this for my Sonic fankids right now (and reblogging other people’s amazing fankids!❤️), but I might post about my other Sonic OCs occasionally too. I must admit I’m not as much of an artist as a lot of other fankid creators, but I plan on drawing my fankids a lot more once I get design/reference drawings done for them (that phase just takes me ages because I’m indecisive af)
Personal/blog intro out of the way, welcome to the Dawn Chorus AU! (The name doesn’t hold much relevance, I just wanted a collective name I could use for all my fankids so I based the name on my first fankid Dawn lmao). I’ll make intro posts for the AU (it’s mostly pretty canon compliant but there are some headcanons thrown in that I should clarify) and kiddos themselves and link them in the Dawn Chorus masterpost later (I’ll also create and link the masterpost itself later)
🌅 Dawn Chorus masterpost 🌅
Find a list of the fankids under the cut :] If a kid has an intro post, it will be linked on their name
Dawn the Hedgehog, Sonic and Shadow’s daughter. 2nd fastest thing alive, not-quite-so-ultimate lifeform, and up-and-coming hero. Struggles with being a Black Arms hybrid and hiding that part of herself. Team Chorus member.
Ultraviolet “UV” the Hedgehog, Dawn’s clone and younger sibling. Physically about 10 years younger than Dawn. Split from their Black Arms half in a rogue GUN scientist’s experiments to bring back the Black Arms, kept around as his lab assistant until they were rescued.
Black Light, UV’s Black Arms half. Shape-shifting Black Arms creature, intelligence is about equal to a Pokemon or a HTTYD dragon. Extremely protective of UV, sometimes to a fault.
Treasure the Echidna, Knuckles and Rouge’s daughter. Born via a divine blessing from the Master Emerald so she can one day take over as its guardian, but an avid adventurer and party girl in the meantime. Team Chorus member.
Mosaic the Metalhog (previously known as Metal Dawn), Metal Sonic’s daughter but was taken in by Belle the Tinkerer. Runaway Badnik and proud to be a hero, though in the heat of battle she sometimes has to be reminded to suppress her more murderous functions. Team Chorus member.
Neo Metal Dawn V2 (called V2 for short, or Vee by Nemesis), Metal Sonic’s daughter. Aspiring only-child. Best friend associate of Nemesis.
Briar Rose, Blaze and Amy’s son. Chlorokinetic Imperial Prince of the Sol Empire.
Misty Rose, Blaze and Amy’s daughter. Hydrokinetic Imperial Princess of the Sol Empire Queen of the Pirates.
Horizon the Hedgehog, Silver and Espio’s kid. Born 200 years in the future, found alone as an infant by Silver and brought back to the present to have a better life, now the youngest member at the Chaotix Detective Agency. As the present changes the future, Horizon’s memories of the future change with them, giving him a very limited form of foresight and the ability to predict apocalyptic events.
Rocket the Macaw, Jet’s son. Extreme Gear champion, wants to be just like his dad, deeply insecure and generally fake as fuck.
Vengeance / Genesis the Jackal, Infinite’s kid. A consciousness that exists inside the Phantom Ruby, Vengeance manifested from Infinite’s rage and hatred festering inside the Ruby for so long. Using the Ruby’s power to give herself a body, she originally sought revenge on behalf of Infinite, but got redeemed and changed her name to Genesis.
Nemesis the Phantom. An alternate version of Genesis who got zapped into my AU’s main timeline when her Phantom Ruby was shattered. Emotionally volatile, power hungry, and manipulative. Best friend associate of V2.
Thunder (Tumble’s kid) and Lightning (Rough’s kid). Incongruent cousins and aspiring villains, will be dangerous when they finally stop arguing all the time.
Cruise the Opossum, Clutch the Opossum’s grandkid. Shady businessperson (not outright running a crime empire like Clutch but they don’t respect the law either), wishes they didn’t have to spend so much of their time beefing with teenagers.
Ian the Third, Ian Jr’s kid. Nobody knows what their deal is really.
wish everyone could perceive the Vague Concepts in my head because i just know you would looove my Vague Concepts. you would think im so smart if you saw the misty clouds of Vague Concepts floating around in my head. #MyVagueConcepts
HAPPY TRANSGENDER VISIBILITY DAY!!! To honor today, I decided to redraw something I drew last year now that I actually know how to draw Sonic characters/use procreate. Transfem Metal Sonic my beloved, look at her go!
I love you trans people and even if it's just one day of visibility, I see you always and I hope that you have a wonderful life ahead of you. Supporting my wonderful trans brothers sisters and everything neither both or inbetween <3 🏳⚧
“Hello UV I love your fur pattern! The colors are quite unique! I was just wondering what your favorite color was?”
-clover
“Oh-! Th-thanks,
Huh, a lot of people seem to like my fur…
I think I like green the best, but just when it’s dark and kinda blue-ish almost like…” (trying to remember the word for the colour between blue and green) “t… teal? That or bright blue-ish purple.
Um, I heard you like plants, what’s your favorite?”
[ty for the ask!! Clover seems rlly sweet i love him]
(They stare at Fritter. She looks like Silver, like how they look like Dawn)
“You- …I like your dress. Good luck in the showdown.” - UV
@dawn-ch0rus
Fritter knows UV is like her in a way. She doesn’t respond to the child, it’s hard to look at them knowing what she did to their sister.
- 🍎
MUAHAH let’s both be clones and have gender issues… the context for this is fritter nearly killed dawn (UVS older sister) in a state of panic during a very big battle. Fritter was not in the right state and mind and dawns lucky to have speed healing
Fritter, is there something you're passionate about?
“I have one job, one reason for living. It is my duty to protect the multiverses no matter how big of an issue there is. I am devoted to that and there will never be a life for me outside it.”
- 🍎
Saving others and being a guardian is fritters way of atoning for letting her universe be destroyed, she couldn’t save them so she has to save others. Though she can’t die so she’s in a constant battle for eternity.
ART BY ONE OF MY WONDERFUL BESTIES @basmatiricksart !!!!!!!
Apple Friter i’ve seen you in the showdown and I want to confess I have a crush on you
~ Your Secret Admirer
For a moment, she doesn’t even say anything. She looks disgusted, it’s some of the most expression she’s shown so far.
“Never reveal yourself to me stranger. I cannot have a bias against people but this confession makes me never want to encounter you or your universe. I am not built for romance and I never will be. if you know what’s best, stay away.”
- 🍎
IM GIGGLING WHO SENT THIS I NEED TO KNOW Also fritter is repulsed aroace!! She idea of romance for her is horrifying to think about and a ton of it stem from deep self hatred issues and only seeing warped confusing versions of romance around her BUT THIS IS SO FUNNY
About Aster Rose: Meet Aster Rose the Hedgehog, daughter of Sonic & Amy! She's named after the flower, meaning 'star'... very fitting for this starry girl! She inherited her dad's super speed, and both her parents' sense of justice & love for adventure. Her main attacking moves are the ever-reliable spin dash and her speciality, the 'Aster-nado'. You can catch her saying a LOT of phrases like 'follow the stars' or 'stars above'-
About Ruby: Ruby is - there’s no other way to put this - a living tumor. A being made of pure chaos that split off from his infant twin sister when the power became too much for her body, he was hidden away in a laboratory deep below the Starfall Islands and used as a living battery. Ruby has always known that he has a twin. Parents. A family. But they abandoned him, and it doesn’t matter how sad his sister looks when she sees him. It doesn’t matter that she keeps trying to reach out. He’s getting his revenge no matter what.
About UV: Project Procyon was an operation where a clone was made from Sonic and Shadow’s daughter Dawn and its hedgehog and Black Arms genetics were split into separate entities, Ultraviolet “UV” the Hedgehog and Black Light.
With the maturity of a 7 year old and having spent the first few months of their life as an involuntary lab assistant, UV is a sweet and shockingly smart but deeply anxious kid with a pathological need to feel “useful”. They’ve had a deep dependency on their older sister since she rescued them, but struggle a lot with their own identity as her clone. What they lack in running speed and Chaos Powers, they make up for with the ability to turn into light and manipulate energy on the electromagnetic spectrum.
About Colbalt: Cobalt is a friendly, optimistic hedgehog who can be a bit cocky at times. As the daughter of Sonic, Shadow, and Silver, she's crazy fast, with telekinesis and chaos powers to boot. She was genetically engineered to be a weapon, though was recovered by Sonic and Shadow before she was old enough to be used as one, and got to grow up loved by all her fathers.
“Strawberry the sheep. You were in the villain showdown months ago. I sure hope you don’t plan to use your mischief in this showdown, there are many people here that would rise up to stop you. I will be keeping my eye on you, hope we do not cross paths again, for next time i am sure it will not be such a neutral encounter.”
- Apple-Fritter
(HI LILLA GOOD LUCK LILLA)
You drew Strawberry so cute <333
Glad to have a chance to draw Strawberry being less cheery :D I have to do more saying than showing about her being bad since Strawberry’s whole deal is that generally speaking, you’d never know she was bad. She presents herself very kindly
UV BUD! hey! Hope your doing alright! Came to wish you good luck! And if anyone tries giving you trouble I aint far.
- Crow
(APOLOGIES I WAS GONNA DRAW SOMETHING FOR THEM! But I have been so caught up that I dont think ill get round to it for a couple days! VOTE UVV!!)
“Crow! Hi!” 👋
“Uh, I’m doing pretty good right now. I hope you are too- and good luck! Ev- everyone’s been nice so far, but I’ll let you know if anyone’s mean…” :)
[Crow ilysm 😭 nws abt drawing!! It would be rlly cool if you drew UV obv but pls don’t put pressure on yourself, I’ve been wanting to draw stuff for asks but I’m struggling with constant burnout so I feel you agh. I do still just need to draw Crow at some point tho, their design’s so cool]
“…Hi. I- Um, I’m trying to talk to more people but I don’t really know what to ask. …What made you want to enter the showdown? And good luck-!” - UV
@dawn-ch0rus
