Rouge Aran

Rouge the Bat, full name Rouge Aran, is a Bounty Hunter with an eye for Treasures as well; born on the Planet Mobius but raised on the Planet Zebes after an incident with space pirates resulted in the loss of her parents, she was adopted by the Chozo and raised in their ways as a warrior. She didn't always behave very warrior-like - shiny jewels and gemstones constantly attracted her attention, and she got in trouble more than once growing up because of this; however, beneath that greedy, thievery-prone exterior, Rouge is a compassionate person who does what she can to help others; whether it's helping innocent animals escape the destruction of Zebes, helping out at Vanilla's Chao Garden when she's unable to venture into space for one reason or another, or being one of the last remaining people defending Shadow when it seems like everything else has turned on him. This isn't to say her thievery streak still doesn't exist though; even her more compassionate, heroic side, can get distracted by a pretty jewel from time to time, and while she tries to do her best for others she can get sidetracked trying to do what's better for her instead.  Also included is the Baby Metroid, since I really like how the Chaos/Metroid designs turned out and wanted to draw them again!

Batroid Dread

Having gone to Planet ZDR after a potential sighting of an X-Parasite, alive and in the wild, Rouge found herself face to face with a whole host of terrors, ranging from gigantic monsters familiar and completely alien to her, a malicious Chozo hell-bent on getting her DNA and the re-programmed EMMIs he had sent to do so, and an outbreak the likes of which she couldn't have prepared for... Truly, it fills her with Dread.

The Colossal Kraid

Kraid is a constant threat; whether or not it's always the same being is up for debate, but Rouge has found herself butting heads with him more than a few times. From her initial encounter with the Space Pirate on Zebes to now seeing him once more bound by the Chozo in the depths of Cataris, she's seen this giant lizard's mug almost as much as Ridley's. Though at this point, she's dealt with him so many times that Rouge barely sees the colossal lizard as a threat now; an obstacle for sure, but she's taken him down before, and she'll take him down again!

Two friends snarking in the midst of battle, more than ready to take on anything else a mad scientist can throw at them. And said Mad Scientist is 100% getting frustrated off-screen.

Also, the Batroid version of Sally Acorn! Since she gave her original vest to Sonic, she’s wearing something a bit closer to her Post-Reboot Archie design’s vest, which is actually what I based the majority of her design off of. However, I also still liked the cheek fuzz that her Pre-Reboot design had, so I just HAD to include it here. She also has her Ring-Blades from Archie - an Acorn Family Heirloom

Also some Batroid Motobugs - Not too dissimilar to their game designs, but I wanted to give em more of a neon-ish look and sharper looking blades to try to make them look a tiny bit more threatening, but I’ll worry about in-depth Badnik design later.

SPOILERS FOR METROID DREAD: During her time on ZDR, Rouge’s Metroid DNA fully awakens, thus forcing her to don the Metroid Suit. It also brings about physical changes in Rouge’s body; becoming more monstrous in appearance, and even growing a Chaos-like Tail and having water run over her wings.

More designs for the Batroid AU - in this case, the trio of Sonic, Tails, and Amy!

More Info on the Trio below the Cut:

-Sonic! Basically unchanged personality wise from the games. Physically, he wears a very minimal, athletic outfit for the sake of not hampering his run speed! The only exception is possibly the Vest, which was a good luck charm from his childhood friend Sally when he went up into space to the Death Egg for the first time (Sally’s still around, of course, and the two are good friends to this day)

-Tails! Same as Sonic, unchanged from his games personality. He wears a mechanic jumpsuit and goggles for when he's working on the Tornado or other machinery, but the goggles also keep the wind out of his eyes if he's flying the Tornado in Biplane Mode

-Amy! She's a bit closer to the IDW incarnation in personality (her crush on Sonic is toned a bit down but still there), and I accidentally made her shorter than normal; I'm keeping her short though because I like the idea of her being one of the strongest characters but only being a centimeter or two taller than Tails

Batroid - Casual Outfits

Rouge Aran in different outfits Samus wore throughout Metroid, though retooled to fit the aesthetics of the bat herself! From Left to Right: -Super Metroid's Casual Outfit, with Rouge performing a Crystal Flash -Zero Mission's Zero Suit, with Rouge posing like Zero Suit Samus's Brawl Render -Metroid Fusion's Casual Outfit, with the longer, wilder hair in the ending pose -Metroid NES's Justin Bailey outfit, with Rouge in the ending pose of that game I had fun trying to figure out how to adapt these different outfits; I really want to do more Batroid stuff soon in the future!
