this is a low-activity sonic multimuse ran by ren. reserved for interactions w mutuals of fortruechaos! rules and info under the cut. this is a sideblog! all muns must be 18+.

all rules on fortruechaos apply; please check those out if you need a refresher or are unfamiliar with them.

generally speaking, interactions on shadow get my priority, so expect activity on this blog to be on the lower end.

ships will only be multiship on this blog.

i loosely imagine all the characters on this blog to be set in the same 'canon' so my sonic talking about shadow will probably generally be in reference to the shadow i write on my main blog; this rule is really just here because it makes it fun to play off of dynamics in different threads, like having sally interact with someone possessing knowledge of it after i finished a thread with that someone with my sonic muse, etc. obviously this won't apply if i'm writing with, say, another sonic, then that sonic will be 'my' muse's sonic, unless they're divergent in a way that makes it hard to do so.

i did not make most of the icons for this blog so sizes might vary but generally i try to resize them to 75x75 and that's about all i do for the editing. credits: i can't remember who made sonic's icons :(. knuckles's, venice's (aka silver's), and blaze's icons were made by nootingextras. sally's icons were made by cinder-the-fox and edited lightly by medjedresources. tikal's icons were made by medjedresources. jet's icons were made by my friend oreo. i made surge, fiona, and finitevus's icons.

note to self: still need to make more icons for fiona and surge

muse list, roughly in order of activity level:

sonic the hedgehog (he/him)

fiona fox (she/her)

surge the tenrec (she/her)

knuckles the echidna (he/him)

jet the hawk (he/him)

sally acorn (she/he)

blaze the cat (she/they)

tikal the echidna (she/they/he/it - roughly in order of preference)

dr. finitevus (he/him)

venice the hedgehog (he/they)

beryl the wolf (oc) (she/her)

ocarina the cat (oc) (she/her)

sonny the porcupine (oc) (he/him)

all characters exist and have been rewritten to exist within my iteration of game-verse with some liberties applied; fiona is zone-hopping post-sega genesis wave and generally enjoying her newfound freedom. sally's lore has been rewritten so the freedom fighters are a sort of side group of friends that occasionally cross paths with sonic and co.. venice comes from a timeline that is built off of a future of IDW's metal virus arc and travels across timelines and universes in seek of a cure for his world.

i'm ren &/or cloud. catch ya around!

‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒ "No, nothing like that," Yu-nae replied. "Eggman *won't* be trying to awaken Dark Gaia again, given that it's a once in several lifetimes phenomenon of Gaia awakening and he's lost his chance."

They continued. "When I say 'precautionary actions', I mean in terms of trying to figure out what Eggman's up to now. I can't really explain much more than that, I'm afraid, but you won't have to worry about the manuscripts being moved or taken."

They didn't want to tell the cat that Eggman already had digital copies of the manuscripts himself, and used them to fuel some kind of research regarding the Emeralds, more notably, the werehog form that Sonic took during the incident. They weren't entirely sure where all that could possibly be leading, but that's what they were there for, right?

"The University of Spanakopita will not have to worry about me or any GUN grunt taking anything from your libraries or treasuries, I assure you."

[dive2themellow]

"Oh, that's right..." an embarrassed squiggle makes up Ocarina's mouth at Yu-nae's casual correction. Her whole area of study and she'd forgotten the most basic part of it!!!! It took a lot of willpower to not slap her hand to her forehead or hide behind her hands entirely.

"Okay. I trust you. I'll let you look. But, uh, I absolutely have to be present at all times when you're going over them! So here's my cell phone number! So we can coordinate!" She suddenly sat up a little in her chair and extracted her phone for Yu-nae to put in their contact info.

"Also, it's University of Spagonia! But if you'll be on this 'side of the pond', hehe, for very long, Mr. Darling, I'd be happy to do a day trip to Apotos with you and treat you to some spanakopita there!" She grinned, sheepish, but still clearly embarrassed. Maybe she was being too friendly too fast, but she sincerely felt like she could trust Yu-nae. "Have you been there before?" She finishes off the last of her espresso.

i think(?) i had a post abt this on my old jet blog but icr. anyways. mostly because i don't acknowledge the black arms and stuff, i also like to hc that the babylonians (and babylon garden) are actually from the sol dimension, not alien lifeforms. this is purely an indulgent headcanon based off the sonic rush adventure act sky babylon.

building off of this, one reason why the rogues are able to so consistently sweep their competition in the EG scene despite EG being widely accessible and varied, is because it's built and iterated off of that alternate dimension-tech (although obviously it's been adapted to 'obey' the rules of a chaos energy-ruled world and not a sol energy-ruled world).

i leave my hcs on how EG work sort of up in the air to write out with writing partners instead of fleshing them out too distinctly but overall i think the rogues having shared historical cultural knowledge about the technological origins of EG is interesting to build off of to establish them as being leaders in the scene, especially with wave being such a gear fanatic being able to get her hands on the magic carpet after the events of riders.

this also goes back to i don't like the way that the rogues are treated currently in their characterization where any ol john doe can just kind of get on an EG and outpace jet, wave, and storm, so i wanted there to be a technological reason to establish them at the forefront. and you think wave is gonna share her secrets? as if. lol

and also to that point while shadow's hover skates resemble skate-style extreme gear, they technically are not (although i don't have any hcs on how they meaningfully differ per se).

this also feeds back a little bit into how i want to write beryl because i typically like to honor canon characters as being the ones who define the world in the context of how i make ocs, so that's why i came up with the idea of beryl's job (and imagined role in a snowboarding style riders spin-off game) being built around adopting and making EG manipulate and work around the environment that people live in (i.e. using snow, water, and other environmental factors to the gear's advantage) vs. the rogues having the ability to define the EG around the tech and cultural history of the babylonians that other people just simply wouldn't/don't have access to.

beryl's rivalry is very one-sided with the rogues but it comes down to what people prefer in EG. beryl is like the mountain biker/terrain racer who prefers to work within the confines of her environment while jet and the rogues are more like speed bikers/trick racers who focus on speed and showmanship. both take just as much finesse but one is flashier and requires more charisma and generally being in the spotlight and you can guess which one jet prioritizes lol

" ...? " Mephiles had moreso been voicing his thoughts out loud; hadn't really been expecting a response to his irritation at mortals flying too close to the sun. Quite literally. Squinting slightly, he responds--and sounding slightly offended, " Who said anything about unwritten? What do you know, scientist? "

[dive2themellow]

"More than you, evidently." Despite the arrogant words that leave the echidna scientist's mouth, his tone is far-enough-away that it reads as truly detached as Finitevus intends it to be. "At least in my Zone, the word Mephiles means nothing. Not a trace--anywhere. And yet I know of you. Interesting, no? Hmm." Clearly he's fishing for Mephiles to be nosy and ask him more questions. Finitevus loves to show off.

@typejiota said: " Sorry, gotta' be quicker on the uptake, princess! " / humble him blaze pls maybe hes stealing the bejeweled scepter or smth

There is a gust of wind they could mistake even for Sonic were it not for the emerald sheen to the arc. Blaze's eyes widen then immediately narrow, hands balling into tight, tight fists, flames dancing over their knuckles as that ever-spiteful temper does what it does best: it flares.

Sonic may be the fastest thing alive, but Blaze is certainly close to that speed, being her world's counterpart of the blue hedgehog--yes, her speed is close enough that with long, ballerina strides, accentuated by leaping licks of her fury, she manages to close the distance between her and the Rogue, running only a Gear-length or so behind Jet and his board. If looks could kill, she might end this fight immediately by virtue of turning Jet immediately to stone if he were to turn and look at the princess.

A hand raises and lobs a fireball directly in front of Jet's Type-J to attempt to interrupt the path. Another thing the hawk likely won't see coming: Sonic doesn't get fireballs! "Perhaps it is you who should be quicker!" The insult comes out as nothing more than a hiss, another orb of flame readying itself in Blaze's other hand, air coalescing between their palm and igniting. "Sonic never put up such a pathetic chase!"

SONNY :: DOSSIER.

NAME: Sonic ALIASES: Sonny (for obvious reasons this is the name he usually goes by), S SPECIES: Porcupine AGE: Partner-headcanon dependent; default is about 23 GENDER: Nonbinary guy PRONOUNS: He/him/his SEXUALITY: Biromantic bisexual, masc-leaning ALLIANCES: His band (TBN) PLACE OF RESIDENCE: Radical City

You can see what Sonny looks like here!

Sonic the Porcupine was born around the same time Sonic the Hedgehog was and so it was a massively unfortunate thing for him when the name became mostly associated with a certain blue hedgehog as he grew up and said blue hedgehog became a household name. It didn't take too long until he would introduce himself and get hit with the: "But you're not a hedgehog!" "You're not even blue!" "So, are you really that fast?" jokes and comments from people... so he began to go by Sonny or, simply, the letter S. To be clear, 'Sonic' isn't a dead name for him or anything. Friends are still welcome to call him Sonic, but it's annoying to be "Sonic 2" or "Sonic squared", so Sonny is the default!

Sonny is the lead guitarist and singer of an up-and-coming band called Pincushion. He can also attack with his guitar using the sound waves. I basically ripped off Sonic Underground for this because I can do what I want.

More TBA cuz I don't really know what his personality is gonna be like yet or anything

@herogardn sonny for lemon!

"Thanks for the help," Sonny groans, rubbing at a twinged muscle in his back. Moving sucked, moving when all your friends were too busy to help sucked even more. At least this person--Lemon? if he remembered right--had offered to help him get the last of his boxes up into his new apartment. The apartment which is on the fourth floor with no elevator in the building. Sonny's fairly strong, but still--the up and down sucks! He's moving from Station Square to Radical City to further his music career, and he's honestly feeling kind of daunted about the 'starting over part.' Knowing that there's at least one nice person in the area makes him feel a lot better. "Umm..I'd offer to buy you lunch or something as thanks, but...do you even eat?"

happy new year i had the funniest idea for an old oc i designed in 2023 who is a porcupine which is to also have his name be "sonic" but unfortunately for him of course there is another certain blue hedgehog named sonic who everyone knows of and so he just goes by "sonny" to avoid getting "but you're not blue or a hedgehog!!" "you're not the fastest thing alive tho lol" jokes and comments. but his friends can call him sonic

[dive2themellow]

this is him :)

   well, to describe the android as anything other than lost would be wildly inaccurate — both metaphorically and literally. first having spent chaos knows how long wandering along unfamiliar shoreline, and now in the situation they've found themselves in. the defensive stance taken upon blaze's approach surely could be understood / especially considering the flames dancing while headed directly his way. he could have been be trespassing for all he knew, accidental as it may have been — it made sense within artificial hedgehog's mind, anyway.

Their hands drape in front of them gracefully, fingers interlocking. "Yes. It was some time ago, but Sonic's metallic counterpart, Metal Sonic, somehow got sent to my dimension. Shadow showed up not long after to help us take care of it. Then we had to help send him home." Oh that's right. She needs to explain...everything.

Blaze remembers suddenly to offer a bow at her new guest, but it comes across as stilted and somewhat awkward, not the graceful refined manners of a princess. "I'm Princess Blaze. You're in the Sol Kingdom of the Sol Dimension, the kingdom over which I reside." She straightens and then scratches at her cheek--a surprisingly Sonic-like mannerism--, "I must apologize again for...um...mistaking you for him." And there's an attempt at a friendly smile, but with Blaze's reserved personality, it only enhances the awkwardness of the entire interaction.

The smile fades, at once more serious--much more Blaze-like. "May I ask how you came to this world?" It's obvious that the android is lost, but everyone seems to get pulled into the Sol Dimension through other means. Such must be the nature of their world to Sonic's, as two poles, eternally circling but never able to fully interact.

"...and then we have to update NICOLE's firmware and check the damage in Sunset Heights and then I have to go get a housewarmin gift for Elias and then I have to go visit the Federation's President and then didn't Rotor say I need to test out the new rings and--,"

Oh! "Sonic!" He's snapped out of his reverie when Sonic offers him half of a mandarin. Sally takes it, smiling awkwardly. "Hi. Sorry. I didn't...see you. Or notice you. Obviously. Um. How long have you been there?" Her stomach growls. Sheepishly she peels apart a wedge and sticks it in her mouth. "...Thanks."

[badnikbreaker-a]

She feels her hands stiffen in her lap at the way Sonic refers to Smithy — he's gone, and the past tense was caused by Whisper, a sin she'll never shake off. She was so young — yes — and Smithy and the others would never blame her — yes, she knows, or at least she's learning, they loved you, whisper, they wouldn't want you to suffer — and if she'd tried to save them, she likely would have died, too, and there would be no one to remember the Diamond Cutters as they were, smiling and loving and holding each other close. Yes. And yet...she holds onto the guilt, and not all because she's sick.

For a moment — just one — the sniper seethes with jealousy. That Sonic never loses, not really, that Sonic never had to learn that kind of past tense. That Sonic can talk like that. As quick as her hackles raised, though, they smooth. It's peaceful here, and Sonic is being kind, and she can hear Smithy's quiet, never - condescending laugh at the way she prickled at everything. He'd ruffle her bangs. She wants to cry, but the pain is the healing kind. A wound clearing infection when exposed to air.

"Yes," she agrees softly, smiling, too, back at him, if so much smaller. She leans forward, looks down, doesn't want to jump. She smiles at that, too. "My friend took me here because he thought I should see 'a real and proper cliff.' I got vertigo for the first time and threw up." It's a good memory. He'd held her hair.

[dive2themellow]

@badnikbreaker

For all of Whisper's regret, it simply catches and reflects off Sonic like a prism. He's grown a little used to the feeling of regret, having been surrounded by so many people who express it now--it's funny, back in the day, before he met Tails, he never would have imagined such a feeling could exist. He was only two feet on the ground and blue, blue wind. Then the more people he met the more that sensation grew, a sort of rotating ball of emotion on the back of the social atmosphere that he was unintentionally cultivating. In the early days, Amy and Knuckles spoke a lot about 'regret.' I regret not being strong enough / I regret not fixing that pillar in time and now more of my ancestors' history is gone. And he'd realized he never really felt that way, even in times when Eggman gained more ground and he had to lose some in favor of that mechanical sprawl.

It's not that Sonic can't feel sad or wish maybe he'd done things differently. He'd certainly felt sad when Shadow died and he'd wished he had been able to catch his wrist in time. But he never thought about what would have happened if he had. So maybe it's more that Sonic's nights aren't spent staying up thinking about those what-ifs. He laughs, incandescent, then--unable to resist the call of the breeze, he gets up to his feet, dusting his hands off together so that it sends little bits of broken pebbles scattering to the wind. "Y'know, same thing happened to me the first time I tried to spindash. I got too dizzy and couldn't really figure out how to stop, so I just kept going and going, and---," his hands tumble over each other, mimicking a rotating circle, and then at his sentence cut-off, one gesticulates outwards in a sweeping curve as if to indicate: blechhhhhh!! and his head half-turns so his quills catch the wind too, grinning at Whisper cheekily. "Good thing that never happened again!"
