Part 4 of the megadump (big 3) lorepost
this one in particular might be a little all over the place but im gonna try and keep it all organized
now, as mentioned here, majin used to work for sega when they were first starting as a game company. he loved helping people out and wanted to do it more often, so he thought this was his best shot. surprisingly, they actually accepted him, and with the help of madzin and mazin they took care of sega's marketing, finances, and whatever else the company needed help with (he was also their internal mascot). I already mentioned majins ties to cd, but to reiterate, the employees were so grateful for his help that they put him in as an easter egg, using his birthday as the sound test code to access it. this, however, did not do well with kids in the US, as the boss music made it.. eery instead of silly. this indirectly caused majin to be let go in favor of sonic (why wasnt it sonic before? he was dealing with stuff on mobius)
I wont be talking too much about this version of sonic here, but in short, he's rewrites little 'experiment,' combining continuity from most pieces of sonic media (games, archie, underground, idw, and MAINLY FLEETWAY.) into one.
lets talk about hog for a second. hog mainly follows his canon lore, except after his universe was destroyed, rewrite brought it back.
now, hog is unique in the fact that he is one of the few people besides majin, unused, and rewrite who can remember the last 2 universes clearly. the knowledge of these universes came to him after rewrite brought his dimension back
he, like rewrite, is a digital being turned organic, meaning he was once digital code but now is an organic being. unlike rewrite, he could experience emotions beforehand. false strings of code, but now theyre real feelings he can process. this means he can handle emotions easier than rewrite can.
now why am I bringing hog up? hes actually kind of important to majins story, as he was the one to be there for majin while he was still grieving over unused. they bond over their shared knowledge of their past lives and majin treats him like a nephew. (considering the fact hog likes to think hes unuseds cousin)
SPEAKING of majin grieving, soon after is when he met fatal. after a short brawl, fatal realized majin could bring great use to him and his new partner cyclops. (partner as in teammate Not boyfriend.) fatal and cyclops had formed an alliance together, defeating foes to grow stronger for different reasons. majin suggested the idea of going into rewrites domain to try and fetch unused, a prison break, if you will.
this... failed horribly. rewrite kicked their asses, and fatal basically.. ran away, leaving cyclops to die. it was majin who had to save cyclops and take rewrite's beatings head on.
this ended cyclops and fatal's allegiance. cyclops now permanently resents fatal after the incident, ESPECIALLY since soon after, fatal had replaced cyclops with rewrite himself. (rewrite likes to think they're best friends)
a few years after this, fatal knocked some sense into majin, stating it was about time he stopped dwelling on unused, considering the fact fatal figured unused would never get out. majin, reluctantly having to accept this fact, decided to move on.
lets go back to xeno for a little bit. during his retirement, xeno was doing......... yeah i have like no clue but for the most part he started a Rock collection ! among other things, he'd occasionally engage in friendly battles with other people, one of these battles was with sonic. this battle.. knocked xeno out? strange. yeah, wasn't meant to happen. when sonic and tails took him back to their place they found he was......... sick. an illness rewrite had infected him with just because he felt like it. once they found this out, tails extracted some of his blood, THEN extracting the plasma WITHIN his blood (xeno has this like... plasma that makes his blood thicker and crystallizes slowly when in contact with oxygen.) to find a cure for this mystery disease. sonic, bored and curious, offered to have the plasma injected into him to see what effects it would bring. this situation is the reason why this version of fleetway is modern. xeno got cured, it all got settled, i just mentioned this to explain why you'll see fleetway as modern.
this era (2014-2016 (au takes place in november 2016)) xeno and majin were mostly not present for, as xeno was in his cavern doing.... literally Anyting and majin had selectively stayed in his forest. (there were rumors he was dating lord x, and considering the fact they thought of each other as family, it weirded them out a little. it got so bad for majin he went into hiding for a bit to avoid any further accusations.)
during this time period is when the events of path to deicide occurred, and after deicide, majin silently decided it was about time he came out of hiding and started getting involved again. path to deicide works a little differently here, as the 'bonus songs' that take place in other timelines (excrescence, gridlock, nihility) take place after the events of the main timeline, which are fatal and slash's attempts at recruiting more people into the divenators to kill other false gods.
for the most part in 2016 when majin and xeno stayed as hermits, x was out doing... stuff on earth. gathering new victims to play with, for the most part. just doing anything he wanted. this will not be touched on but i thought it was important to mention
going forward a bit.... lets talk about UNUSED again. but this time i've got GOOD NEWS related to unused! he actually escaped! bit of a shocker, i know. after uncovering his beast form, he managed to tear down the barrier rewrite had set for him 500 years ago and found himself in x's pc port, in the midst of a conversation between rewrite, x, and his guardians. rewrite, obviously livid at the thought of unused finally escaping, went to chase after him, only for unused to leave before rewrite could catch him. before this, exe had ALSO escaped containment, finding himself in x's port to kill x, in which x sent him to mobius (which was where unused went) they ran into hog, which then took them to sonic's house because exe wanted a way to go BACK to x's dimension to finish what he started.
few things happened during this whole ordeal:
scorched and sonic talked, in which scorched agreed he would have to accept his new body and stop resenting sonic for the life he has. (and he would need to work with hog)
fatal and slash showed up, then fatal implanted a voice chip into exe's throat so he could speak english (the chip allows exe to switch between any language he chooses, including voidspeak)
majin reunited with unused. they would agree him and exe (since exe can't really go back to his own domain at the moment) would live in his castle.
amalganic showed up. it was living with some kid on earth for a while after it escaped xenophyte's domain. it could just.. travel freely between dimensions and planets on its own. majin had the idea to reunite it with xeno. he did, xeno was ecstatic to see his pet again, but upon being brought with the knowledge he was living with someone else, xeno and his previous owner made an agreement that amalganic could switch between owners when it'd like.
NOW, as far as I can recall, this is all for the main story I can mention in an organized manner, so everything that will proceed this line of text are little tidbits with no real order
after the events of path to deicide, lord x implanted organic feelings into fatal for his own amusement. this did not turn fatal organic, but rather kept him as a sentient ai with the ability to feel organic things. this was... a problem, as he managed to fall in love with sl4sh, making fl4sh canon.
sonic and 2011 fell into love around the same time as super sonic and (lord x's) yokubo. this was... ALSO A MAJOR problem, as super sonic did NOT want to share a body with someone who liked 2011x of all people. sonic and 2011 have yet to get together, but super sonic and yokubo have already started dating, in which they made an agreement to stop sonic and 2011x from dating (2011 briefly worked at a coffee shop for this reason... that sounds like really out of place but it has context)
the big 3 actually got to watch sonic and 2011s relationship unfold through the tv in x's castle. x and xeno made fun of 2011 for it.
(also hog and scorched gave 2011 relationship advice)
unused has... started a collection of jojo figures in majins castle. hes a big jojo fan
fleetway and xeno are actually sort of best friends... Kind of. They fight alot but you know
the big 3 own a mansion on earth. particularly somewhere in the outskirts of toronto, canada (they pick this location as their 'main earth location' to visit.) they use this mansion for the occasional gathering and partying. they also have a studio in this mansion, this is where sinister minds was recorded!
speaking of sinister minds, xeno actually helped on the instrumental OF minds. the addition of majin as a singer was last-minute, so he got really mad when majin was added to the song and he wasn't.
(gekido was also the one to make the outfits for sm)
majin has a 'special' type of warp ring, traditional warp rings take you straight to the location you want, but THIS one takes you to a place in-between. why does he need this? idk.. for fun
majin also has an 'infinite storage' which he can pull things from when he needs
there are alot of 'world gimmicks' that tie into the sonic games, but the one i want to talk about in this case is a silent type of 'inventory system.' when a mobian (or exe) comes in contact with an emerald or a ring, they will absorb it. they can bring these out via their chest, which they can just... pull things out of. (in sonic's case, as soon as he comes in contact with an emerald, absorbed or not, he goes super. the amount of time hes super for varies on the amount of emeralds he has.) (just like the games, you will lose rings when hurt.)
I'm PRETTY SURE this is all the important big 3 related lore I had to mention... if I forgot anything ill touch on it later. this also wasn't meant to go over EVERYONE's lore, JUST anything that relates to the 3.
