“Knuckles’ eye shot open as etchings marred deep into stone came aglow beneath his touch. Emerald light bled through ancient markings that adorned the wall, and he felt something release. He pressed his strength forward and stone doors pulled away—a path reavealed itself to him.”
soooo i picked up sonic adventure again and rediscovered some of my favorite characters
I remember even as a kid finding Tikal's story extremely endearing. It's not complicated or philosophical because its, well, childrens media, but it's tragic, and it's solid. The realization that chaos 0 was the victim of a warlord's greed and retaliated in anger after its bretheren were killed will always get me, I can't not cry at the final story cutscene.
look under the cut for a custom outfit for Tikal and a species swap between her and Chaos! 💫
With the help of my friend Fraz, I looked at the garments of Aztec royalty and tried to do my take on a more detailed Tikal based on them
I also Species Swapped the two of them; Tikal as an Ancient and Chaos as an Echidna.
Imagine if movie Espio was also part of a clan like how Knux was in the echidna clan and Sonic was raised in the longclaw clan and Espio had beef with one of both because of that-
The chaotix are unaware of this beef. They sit to the side with tails & the humans as Espio beats the living shit out of Sonic and knuckles wondering if they’re ever getting that paycheck
Espio has beaten Sonic’s ass on multiple occasions through the franchise (quite literally knocking him out in Archie, and attempted to kill him with a blow dart in tmosth) so I think it’s possible Espio can beat his ass in every universe
Continuing off the idea of Metal Knuckles scraping together his own version of the tribe, I imagine that Pachacamac kind of looks the most polished although he's using pieces of Cannon Core and some parts are taken from previous Metal Knuckles models.
