He comes from a bird village built around the towering stone pillars of Gemstone Peaks, lost somewhere in Sonic's world.
Like his people, Arlym is a trained warrior tasked with defending the labyrinthic cave system underneath his home, where all sort of gemstones, from amethysts to ametrines take on magical properties.
Unlike the Chaos Emeralds, these gems' powers are very limited, mostly draining after one single use and reverting to regular crystals. But their abundance and variety in powers (from healing to blasting powerful energy blasts) make them a prized treasure for mercenaries and scavengers.
HERE IT IS!!!! I've been chipping away for years at an AU, and I wanna roll out the characters and their designs with a few snippets of lore, starting with the Blue Blur
Not one to stay long in one place, the closest he has to a home is an abandoned car he found in a field between Station Square and Mystic Ruins, keeping what little belonging he has and sleeping in the back seats.
He may travel alone most of the time, but that earring made out of Longclaw's last portal ring serves as a reminder of the love he feels for the world and everyone in it.
Been chippin away at this drawing of my babies, Arlym and Berry... They love gardening and Arlym always loves having her by his side when he takes care of his flowers....
-shakes you while screaming- YOU SEE SONIC THE HEDGEHOG AND TAYLOR SWIFT WERE ALWAYS CONNECTED SINCE THE VERY BEGGINING EVEN BEFORE THAT TWITTER TAKEOVER, THE CLUE HERE IS CINDY ROBINSON THE CURRENT VOICE ACTRESS OF AMY ROSE, BEAR WITH ME ON THIS ONE PLEASE
We all know that Cindy Robinson is a voice actress who has worked on a lot of projects, but what not many people know is that she was initially a Broadway/Theater actress, with I swear to god, an underappreciated vocal range, that woman can do opera if she wants.
This part isn't related at all to what I'm trying to say, but I need people to be aware how good of a singer Cindy truly is, which it surprises me she doesn't get a lot of singing roles for animated musicals or getting to sing much in general.
But anyways, what I'm trying to say is, that Disney made a CD for their Karaoke Series, this time of Hannah Montana: The Movie's music, it had the songs NOT being sung by Miley Cyrus, you know who else actually had to sing the songs for the CD???
CINDY FUCKING ROBINSON
THAT'S RIGHT AMY ROSE SINGS HOEDOWN THROWDOWN
But one song we gotta pay attention to is "You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home"
Now let's look at the credits of this song, because guess who co-wrote the song?? (the credits are the same for the original and the karaoke one).
So we got the conclusion that: Cindy Robinson has worked on a Hannah Montana cover-esque album, one of the songs being co-written by Taylor Swift, fast forward and in the most recent Sonic Twitter Takeover up to this date, Amy Rose (voiced by Cindy Robinson) says that she's a Taylor Swift fan.
Which makes Sonic The Hedgehog, Hannah Montana and Taylor Swift connected, and honestly, I'm happy to be living in that timeline.
