My first ever oc was a purple porcupine named Pearl. she came into existence because of that old rumour that if you hit “start” at the right point when switching between sonic and knuckles in s&k, you’d get to play a secret purple porcupine character. here’s a rough recreation:
i think that, if i were to redesign her now, i’d emphasise the “porcupine” angle a lot more, with cute rodenty buck teeth and a different kind of tail to differentiate her from both sonic and knuckles
50. Give me the good ol’ OC talk here. Talk about anything you want
THIS ONE IS HARD BECAUSE IT’S SO OPEN-ENDED. i thought about talking about how i classpect every character, but i decided it’d take way too much explanation, so instead…
i talked about my HG/SS protag expy Gold the other day. his original story was significantly different, with him being what i can only refer to as a “weremew”, which looked a bit like this:
the idea being, basically, that when you have a half-human, half-mew were-creature, it turns out looking more or less like a more natural mewtwo. i drafted mock stats for this form, making it more physical attack based than actual mewtwo (this was in 2008/2009, long before mega mewtwo x existed), and built a comprehensive pokemon au around it. in fact, that au is the one i’m still using, because i think it had a lot of good concepts!
but eventually i ended up splitting the “weremew” off from the pokemon au, and decided i’d move the concept to an original universe (Aioura). And thus, Senn was born!
