Rewrote Dust's backstory a bit. I'll update his page with it but ah, in case ya'll don't feel like clicking links and stuff i'll be putting it in this post too under a read more!
I think it's fine? Not uh, a multi-chapter story (For now at least) but it's meant to just be a sort of summary.
Dust was originally a Mobian Wolf who was part of the Resistance against Eggman; Throughout the war, he lost more and more of himself in a literal sense due to injuries sustained in multiple battles. Rather than wait to heal, he'd simply get robotic replacements so he could continue fighting.
Eventually, after seemingly sacrificing himself by using a Phantom Ruby Prototype to stop a false sun from being dropped on everyone, rendered unconscious and practically in a coma, he was captured by Eggman, who then turned him into a mostly robotic life form, powered by the same Phantom Ruby Prototype he had used to stop him.
Eggman had intended to erase his memories and turn him into a killing machine against his allies, but it was thanks to Infinite he kept them. Though upon realizing what he had been turned into, that he had survived his own sacrifice and yet that sacrifice hadn't hadn't insured Victory, Dust no longer simply wanted to defeat Eggman.
He wanted him dead.
He arrives just in time to help defeat the Death Egg Robot, however he ends up getting ahold of the Phantom Ruby rather than let it be destroyed, at the time not knowing what to do with it, though he didn’t let the others know he had it.
Sonic and the others were eager to celebrate their victory, Eggman once again beaten and defeated, but Dust wasn't satisfied. He attempts to chase Eggman down, but upon confronting him and readying to kill him, he’s stopped by Sonic. Dust lashes out, and the two brawl. Eggman gets away during the battle, and the two end up exhausting each-other. Dust flees, feeling betrayed by Sonic.
Eventually though, Dust manages to get ahold of Omega, asking for assistance with something. Omega brings along Shadow and Infinite, and Dust requests help with changing his power source out for the actual Phantom Ruby. During the procedure, Dust talks with the three; It leave him unsure what he wants from his life. And after the procedure is complete, Dust bids his goodbyes to the three. He uses the Ruby to leave his dimension, deciding to sort of go soul searching. To figure out what to do with his life.
(Been playing the new Sonic game; Sonic X Shadow Generations. Haven't touched the Shadow part yet, been playing Sonic Generations first. ...And I admit it's kinda making me think of doing stuff with Dust again. But I'm working at the moment so ah, can't really do much right now.)
So I recently played through Silent Hill 1 for the first time. I've only played Silent Hill Downpour and Silent Hill Shattered Memories, and the HD port of SH2 on Xbox. Ended up getting the Good+ ending. And I definitely enjoyed playing through it, though it felt like I kinda tanked the final boss with all my healing items cause I didn't know how to dodge its attacks.
Could replay it if I wanted? But at the moment a single playthrough is good enough for me. Anyway...
It's really damn good. It's a shame it's stuck on PS1, though if you have a PS3 you can get it on the Playatation store and play it on there.
Legally you can't play it on PC cause it never got a port of any kind as far as I'm aware. You can only emulate it.
Silent Hill 2 though, not the remake but the original, is abandonware on PC, and you can find an Enchanced Edition mod for it as well. Plan on playing that next.
Anyway. Silent Hill 1 still holds up I think. Genuinely creeped me out at times, and the music is still wonderful. The puzzles were neat, and I only had to look up how to solve one puzzle and where to find a door I couldn't find for the life of me. It's not necessary to play to understand Silent Hill 2, but it does help you understand the town a bit, and it's a good idea to play it if you wanna play Silent Hill 3 probably.
(I know I haven't done a whole lot of role-playing lately and I apologize about that. But also I admit part of me is kinda wanting to ramble about games I've played and whatnot. Cause I kinda just... wanna ramble about stuff for fun. I dunno. If you don't wanna see me rambling and stuff, I'll think of a tag yall can filter for it.)
