Hi Pan! Big fan. Hey that rhymed 😃. Anyways I just discovered your CMI AU and I wanted to know if there are any characters that haven’t appeared yet you’re planning on putting into your AU. Maybe I haven’t scrolled down enough but I noticed some missing and I was wondering if any new characters would be adapted? Mostly asking about people like the Chaotix, Cosmo, etc. If they did show up I probably didn’t see lol.
All the characters mentioned in this post have shown up in the AU!! They all even have artwork! (I just have SO MANY CMI posts that they got buried!!!)
The only important of characters I can think of that haven't been included yet are the Zeti, Team Hooligan, and Trip. I think most of the mainline characters are already in the AU!
I rlly gotta find a way to have all of my CMI lore organized
Wait, the Jules from Scourge’s universe is a jerk that neglects his only child so you could go with maybe that characterization of him?
Idk why but I'm just leaning away from using Jules or other versions of Sonic's parents. I guess it makes me feel like there's too much established stuff relating to them?? Idk LOL sorry. I'll keep this in the back of my mind tho

Consider joining my Sonic AU Alliance Discord Server!
There's a strong focus on AUs and creativity, of course, but general discussion about the franchise is welcome! The people there are amazing, there's almost always some sort of conversation going on!
We have channels for art trades, events, games, anything! We even have forums for stuff like character references or AUs for organization sake!
Please please PLEASE grace us with more information about Tails from your CMI AU! Maybe I just haven’t scrolled down enough but I haven’t seen him pop up to often in anything lore related. I CRAVE more information about the little burber he looks so cool in your AU 💛
Gonna be honest, I NEGLECT TAILS TOO MUCH!! He's a synth player, he's a mechanic, a programmer, he attends online school, and he and Sonic are legally brothers! (Adoption after Feels, Sonic's mom, passed away)
MORE BELOW CUT
He and Sonic were initially neighbors, and Sonic met Tails when he saw Tails getting picked on by his older cousins (yk the fox bullies in the origins cutscene? Yeah, them.) and, ever since then, Tails would try to befriend Sonic, and Sonic would let him tag along. They got close, developed a sibling dynamic, and the rest is history!
Tails was very enthusiastic and bright-eyed as a kid, but as he got older, he chilled out. He's much more level-headed, but he noticably developed a small tolerance for bullshit and the confidence to fight for what he believes in. Just because he's the least likely in Little Planet to get into a fist fight doesn't mean he won't get into one, he just usually can logic himself out of it before he decides it's time to beat someone up.
He's an insomniac night owl who can't go without a weighted blanket. He pulls all nighters on projects for the hell of it. He neglects his physical health. He works on anything from indie games to online websites to tinkering on a beat up car they got for way cheaper than it's worth. Sonic hid the coffee machine for a while to get Tails to stop drinking coffee at 6pm, but that just resulted in Tails buying a second coffee maker, this time in orange, out of spite.
Tails is an introvert! Very much so! He went from "Oh no! People!" To "Ew. People." He dislikes going to places like malls if it's just for the fun of it, but take him to a tech shop, and he'll forget he was overwhelmed at all. He has a small social battery anyhow. There's been quite a few times where Tails stayed home to watch movies and tinker/code while Sonic and Amy were out having a blast, just because that's what he prefers! He does enjoy stuff like parades (with noise cancelling headphones, which are more expensive for mobians, especially comfortable ones) and he loves conventions! He just needs to keep his state of overwhelm in check.
Tails is a workaholic, he feels soooo dysphoric when he has free time. He's always gotta be doing something or he goes INSANE! give this kid ENRICHMENT!!!
And Tails is still in his mid teens when the bulk of the story takes place! He's 15 when Sonic is 21 :)
any weird music groups in cmi? like... anything other than rock. Is there a country group lmao?
I've thought about letting the Forget-Me-Knots be pop, but pop rock might be better for them. Silver is techno, and Sage has a variety of genres, since she's a vocaloid. But, yeah, there's mostly rock and the occasional metal.
I would be open to broadening the horizons in terms of genres, but I don't wanna make any of the existing cast too varied on their own, and I don't know who in the sonic universe I'd like to also make into music artists.
im sorry but IT'S REALLY FUNNY HOW THE ADVERTISING WENT FROM "WE HAVE THIS MANY DAYS LEFT, SIGN UP!" TO RANDOM EDITS IF I HAD A MORE THOUGHT OUT AU, I WOULD CONSIDER JOINING, MOD(S) YOU ARE FUNNY
Hehehe thank you! I'm glad you've been enjoying them. I was looking at how I used to promo a different tournament blog and noticed that I had ran into a similar predicament in the past--many slots still need to be filled + extension already given + still don't have enough sign-ups--and noticed that the memes WORKED and got us to 64 sign-ups in time so I figured. Why not do the same here. If it works, it works after all ^^ (Special thanks to @solar-systemm and @cosmiicats for helping me choose which memes to use btw!!)
I had already made a majority of the more "serious" graphics in advance so I'll still be using those. Though that does lead to a noticeable shift in tone between some posts XD
ALSO! YOU CAN STILL JOIN!! Your AU doesn't need to be fleshed out to submit it to the Collision. Getting to see an AU grow in real time is one of the fun parts about running this event. I actually have a post scheduled to post later today regarding what qualifies as something that can submitted to the Collision (with a meme attached of course, idea courtesy of Cosmic). As long as you can fill out the form, your AU is pretty much good to go! And if you're worried about the image section, I will literally accept it if you go into a document, type your AU Name, change it to a cool font (or don't), take a screenshot, and use that as your logo. Of course, in the end it's up to you whether you decide to join as a competitor or not, though I hope you enjoy AU Collision regardless! ^^
Idk who wants to hear this but I think that it would be awesome if people put their OCs in my AU. I think it would be awesome if people indulged in OC x Canon ships with my AU variants. I think it would be awesome.
He grew up in Soleanna and was a good friend to Blaze. Venice, Silver's father, worked for the government, but had some kinda psychotic break and went insane about an alleged time machine. Did he try to make one, or did he insist that the government already had one? Idk, but he went crazy. He got sent to prison. Steel (Silver's mom) and Silver both moved to either Green Hill or Station Square, idk. So Sonic and Silver became friends!! When Silver became an adult, he took student loans and scholarships to go to Spagonia University, where he reunited with Blaze :)
For your CMI AU, What is the inspiring them to make music as little planet is it weezer, is it green day or something else?
Tbh,,, idk. Sonic was the one who got everyone into it, but he probably had a lot of inspo from a variety of ppl. I don't really see the need to add irl bands and singers to the story unless it's just a silly nod to them.
are any of the band members famous on social media? do they even post here? like yk Insta, TikTok etc
Not really! CMI has a lot of 2000's/early 2010's influence, so social media hasn't picked up yet! Yes, it exists, but it's not as integral to people's lives as current social media.
