Random Terios and Blue headcanons please? I love them so much!
I’m so happy that you love them! They’re my fossil weirdos and I protect them with my life! I’m doing work in the lab at the moment. I don’t know how to add a “read more” feature on mobile, so this post will be long. I’ll reblog in the future when I think of some more. I hope that you like them!
Terios is young compared to the Ancients, but he’s older to the mortals. He’s around 1,500-years-old. His physical appearance looks to be between late teens/early twenties.
With this said, Terios is impervious. He is not immortal. There is a fine line drawn between the two.
Terios is very socially awkward. He hates being in large crowds and doesn’t like being out in public with people for very long, it feels rather claustrophobic to him. If it’s too much for him, Terios rapidly flees and retreats to his safe place to breathe. Blue often finds him near the beach watching the waves crash to calm down. They sit for hours in silence watching the wave.
With that being said, Terios is claustrophobic. Much like his irrational fear of claustrophobia, Terios has a fear of heights and falling.
Droids do exist during the time period that Terios meets Blue and the other Ancients. He befriends a droid named “OMEGA,” an organic rock golem-like droid crafted by the Yellow Ancient and powered by a Chaos Crystal. The only thing that remains of OMEGA a thousand years later after Blue’s sacrifice is his functional head, which acts as a travel companion for Terios.
For the longest time Terios never had a name. When he was created by Lyric, he was only seen as an object. Terios went years without an identity until Blue was able to rescue him while fleeing his creator. Blue named him “Terios” due to the name symbolizing his reflection of self. When Terios was given a name, he broke down and cried. He finally had something of his own.
Speaking of names, Terios never once called himself “Shadow” when he came to live in the present time. That was a name that others gave him, one that he accepted as a form of punishment. When Blue sacrificed himself to save the planet from Lyric’s reign of terror, Terios was sealed away in a cave for a few hundred years—by accident—and was left to wander around the world in search of finding his soul mate after he was freed. When he tried to find Blue, he found that the beautiful world that Blue had created was in ruins from the war between them and Lyric. Terios was left alone for several hundred years in search of any Ancient technology and magics that could be used to find Blue. Upon his travels, many anthros and humans found Terios and accused him for Blue’s disappearance. Terios lived in the shadows for years, only coming out when needed to. It was at the point where people would characterize him as a shadow due to how well hidden he was from the naked eye. He eventually accepted that it would be his modern alias, but never his identity.
Terios was created by Lyric with intentions of being the perfect soldier for his army. Due to Lyric’s belief in conquering the world and all the lifeforms that Blue created, Lyric sought revenge by creating an unstoppable army to fight the other Ancient. Terios was the only creation that Lyric made that was successfully organic, but found that Terios possessed too much free-will to critically think and strategize. Due to this, Lyric made sure to keep him under close eye and constantly redirected him. Terios eventually fled his his creator in search of the Ancient with all of Lyric’s plans to conquer the world.
Terios is a skilled swordsman and hand-to-hand combat warrior. He learned all of his fighting skills from his sessions with Blue. They do not spar with each other, but they have done so in the past for a demonstration of Terios’ growth after leaving his creator.
Terios is very poetic. He’ll write a few poems down on scrap parchment and save them. The Rosé Ancient found them once in Terios’ kept journal and encouraged him to talk to Blue about what he wrote.
Terios is the reason why blobfish exist in the world. It was an accidental creation.
Terios and the Red Ancient do not get along. They’re constantly fighting with each other. He thinks that Red is naïve and self-centered.
Terios learned how to control his Chaos abilities when he met Blue. Blue’s magics are along the powers of chaos energy, therefore he teaches Terios how to control and call upon chaos when he needs them.
Terios originally had an accent when he first met Blue. However, Terios’ transatlantic accent faded away over the years after Blue’s sacrifice. When they reunite nearly a thousand years later, it’s one of the first thing that Blue notices.
Terios expresses angrier more towards the world and himself rather than the people on the planet. When he spends his time wandering the planet in search of Blue, he grows angry towards himself for not protecting Blue during their battle with Lyric.
Along with his anger and frustration, Terios is furious with Sonic. Terios doesn’t hate Sonic, he hates that Blue doesn’t remember him, ergo giving Terios the impression that Sonic replaced Blue completely. Blue takes on the persona of Sonic accidentally when his reincarnation process was done hastily. Terios understands that both Sonic and Blue are two different people, but it still hurts his heart when he looks into Sonic’s eyes and see Blue looking back.
The Blue Ancient is ageless, but his physical appearance makes him look to be late teens/early twenties.
Blue is a genderless God, but uses he/him/his pronouns.
Blue’s physical form is actually made entirely out of light. He doesn’t have flesh and blood like Terios, but his form can have mass to it. (This works in favor with Terios, considering he likes to hold Blue’s pinky when they walk).
Blue is an Ancient, but his characteristics are along the lines of him being a God. He’s created the planet and life upon it—he is the main figurehead. He does have siblings as well, Yellow (Tails), Red (Knuckles), Rosé (AmyRose), and Lyric.
Blue and Lyric fought constantly over how to govern the organisms on the planet. Lyric wanted the lifeforms to fear the gods wrath and make the world calculated, Blue insisted on freedom and diplomatic beliefs. This caused Blue to banish Lyric from the realm and to live in solitude. They continue to fight to this day.
Blue has an unhealthy obsession for cake and forks.
Blue loves his creations, he loves the people that exist on the planet with all of his heart. He created a city—called Sanctuary—where the Ancient and all of the mortals could coexist with one another. Blue often stops to converse with the mortals that he created and keeps some of the inventions that they make in his personal library.
Wherever Blue walks barefoot, or touches with his hands, flowers grown in sight.
Along with his other magical abilities, Blue also possesses the power of healing tears. This has helped many of Blue’s creations in the past.
Blue possess the power of clairvoyance—he views this ability as a curse.
Blue can heal the sick and revive the dead, but it only works if there is an agreement and consent between the two.
Blue’s emotions also reflect the weather. Whenever he’s happy, the crown on his head glows like the sun. Whenever Blue is sad, the light from his body fades and it rains. Whenever he’s angry, he glows ruby red and lightning crackles.
Blue’s reincarnation process was rushed. Because he was quick to fix his physical form to be with Terios, Blue lost all of his memories and caused his magics to become chaotic. Due to this, Blue’s magics give him his super speed and other abilities. When he awakes, he has no memory of who his is and why he was left alone in the forest. Blue eventually makes his way to Bygone Village and takes on the alias of “Sonic.” He continues with his life as “Sonic” until he encounters Terios.
When Blue’s memories are restored, he has the memories of both himself and when he was Sonic. Blue apologies immensely and tries in any way that he can to make it up to Terios.
Both of them hold each other’s pinky instead of hold each other’s hands. Hand holding happens more frequently when Blue reincarnates.
Terios was there to witness the creation of humans when Blue made them. Blue insisted that it was a side project, but Terios thought that Blue’s curiosity for creating a new species was intriguing.
Blue makes it a point to show Terios that the world can be a good thing. For years Terios was kept from knowing about the world and was only taught of the unfairness of it from Lyric. Blue makes it a point to show Terios that there is beauty everywhere and that there can be good from others.
Blue and Terios fluctuate in height throughout the years. When they first met, Blue easily towered over Terios’ 1.2 meter (4 foot) frame. When Blue reincarnated into the present era, he drastically shrunk to 1.2 meters. Terios is barely taller than him. If not for the hover skates, they’d be the same height.
There are plenty of glyphs across Bygone Island that detail the unbreakable love and connection that Blue and Terios have for each other. There have been newer additions along the way that Terios scribed, but the general idea concerns the good that the two bring.
They don’t wear wedding rings, but they do wear matching sarongs that compliment each other.
When Blue regains his memories and reincarnates, he and Terios help AmyRose—who’s a linguistic anthropologist—piece together some of the written documents that detail the history of the Ancients. Blue and Terios often get off-track when transcribing the documents due to sharing epic stories of the past, but AmyRose doesn’t mind. She loves hearing what the past was like and tries to make sense of some historical documents from the past.
Blue is needed by Terios, Terios is wanted by Blue.
Blue and Terios are soul-bounded; they are not married. There is a difference. The process of soul-bonding is exchanging bits and pieces of their souls with one another to have a part of them in their hearts. They can feel each other’s presence, emotions, sense their thoughts, and feel the love that they have for each other. It’s a spark and comforting connection that the two have with each other. It’s as if they’re never alone.
