Okay, so here's how it works. This is a Sonic RP, but it's also an origin story. Let's face it, we haven't done a Sonic RP in a while, so we need something totally different from before! We are going to create a Sonic origin story! The origins of the Rapidverse! How Sonic became a hero for the first time! Assuming the events of the Sonic games happened in the Rapidverse, this would take place even before Sonic 1 (as I remember, Sonic 1 was NOT the first time Sonic fought Robotnik!).

So, here's your chance to be creative! You can choose any character you want, but remember that if you choose any of the 3 Robotniks, you can't use them until the time is right, because I'm going to set up his origin first.

So, basically, this is a chance to create the origins of the Rapidverse, as I stated already, but also the chance to build an origin for your favorite characters! It should be stated that most characters don't know each other, so you'll have first encounters all over the place!

This place needs a new Sonic RP! Really, it does. I know this RP might cause some issues with continuity, so I was reluctant to start this, but I think we might be able to pull it off.

As an added note, take notice that whatever character you choose will be 3 years younger than they would be in any other Rapidverse RP.

There's no limit to how many characters you can have, but try to be reasonable.

Code:
 
[B]Name:[/B]
[B]Age:[/B]
[B]Gender:[/B]
[B]Species:[/B]
[B]Picture:[/B]


The Picture must be what they look like during this point, so if you're an artist, this is a good chance to show off the younger version of a favorite character. The picture isn't necessary, so it doesn't have to be in your profile, but it's an added bonus for your creativity, right? ;)

Anyway, I won't post my characters' bios until I can get some pictures, but just so ya know in advance, I reserve Sonic, Kintobor, and Sera.

And now, here are who's taken:

Sonic (CPoC)
Tails (CR)
Amy Rose (CR)
Knuckles (GS)
Espio (AGoI)
Shadow (Cojo)
Kintobor (CPoC)
Sera (CPoC)
Chaos (Cojo)
Eggman, The Robotnik that looks like the one from the games(GS)
Eggbotnik, The Robotnik that looks like the one from AoStH (GS)
Metal Sonic (AGoI)
Rouge (GS)
Tikal (CR)
Sally (GS)
Nite (HA)
Solar (HA)
Sol (AGoI)
Isis (AGoI)
X13-666Z KPX 5 V13 (HA)
Desty Nova (HA)

And now the characters we still need:

The Robotnik that looks like the one from Archie
Vector
Charmy
Mighty
Chris

CPOC You amaze me. This sounds like a great idea! And perhaps it might revive Ta as well... Bet you can't guess who I am going to sign up for.

Name: Shadow The Hedgehog

Gender: Male

I'll want more, but I just have to reserve my main man...

But after thinking about it we have a problem. Shadow wasn't around in the Sonic series, for a long time. He also didnt come into the rapidverse until The Search Part 2. How would we get him into the story, but at the same time holding on to the continutation of the Rapidverse?

Those are the continuity issues I was talking about... :heh:

I'm aware of that, and I know it's a bit of a problem when it comes to continuity. Seeing as how I'm too much of a coward to come up with a solution, I'll place the load on GoldenSama! That and I believe he once came up with a solution when we discussed this RP... beats me what it was, though, since it was discussed quite a while ago.

Anyways, here's my profiles. Btw, the art was done quick, so these aren't meant to look like masterpieces.

XD

As I said in RMC m'friend, any way I can help I will! And I guess this is how I can help! :3

As for the solution... um... er... *lightbulb*

My original solution was to have multiple storylines, in which characters who have never met can not come in contact with one another. OR...

The Search takes place after the established characters have already met. It's before some of the newer games (Sonic Riders, Shadow, ect), but it's not the beginning of the series as this is.

We can have them meet and interact and, since we have our own continuity in the Rapidverse, change a few aspects of Sonic Adventure 2 and other games that would be damaged by our using them here.

Whichever solution is better can be used.

Option 2 would most likely work out the best. However we have one small problem for Shadow...

The ever famous, currently deceased and needed to be brought back alive Cathog: Nite.

If my memory is still correct and not being affected by amnesia then I believe Shadow met Nite in the Search...

But I found a loophole!

If I remember correctly then when I started the Search (As an uber noob) Shadow met Nite when he tryed to attack the giant ship/robot thingy Nite was in. Later on Shadow "stole" Nite and thats when the two became partners, and later on friends.

First Mention of Shadow:
Quote:
 

"So... How do you want me to take care of them and when? Do you want them captured or dead? Where are they? When do you want me to start? And most of all: Will you give me any tools that would be useful in catching and taking care of any of them? The most challanging is this... Shadow... Because of his Chaos Control. I need something to counteract the effect."
Of course I wasn't in The Search Chapter 1 so Nite never got the chance to battle him.

So Nite knew of Shadow, meaning that they would have met before hand! Meaning that Nite and Shadow can coexsist in this Rp, and it will not ruin what happens later on down the road. For later on Nite decides to work for Eggman and is paid to go against Sonic and the Gang.

YES! It all works out.

:w00t: GS! You wonderful human being, you! If you were female, I'd ask you to bear my children! But then you'd turn down my offer and kick me in the groin, so maybe things work out better this way! :heh:

All joking aside, GS, you've come up with a great way of fixing things! And I also gotta give props to Cojo for finding a nice loophole for Shadow. Also, who says Shadow even ages? He's the Ultimate Lifeform, afterall, right?

And now I'm REALLY excited! When you said we could change aspects of SA2, that gave me a really neat idea! The chance to combine different elements from all the early games into one big plot! Heck, since there's 3 Eggmen, we could even have each one trying to accomplish a goal from a different game! :w00t:

This works out well, I think. Sonic 1 & Sonic 2 had, basically, the same plot, so they can both easily be covered at once. And due to some similarities, we could even mix Sonic CD with the Sonic 1 + 2 plot. Why not? So, 3 birds with one Eggman! Then comes S3&K. This one's a pretty interesting one... but it, too, can be combined! What with? Sonic Adventure 1! Since S3&K has so much to do with Angel Island, as well as being the introduction of Knuckles, it's easy to pull off the whole Chaos thing, too! So, now we have Sonic Adventure 2 left. That one's pretty easy to do, and just for good measure, we can add the Vanilla the Rabbit being captured subplot of Sonic Advance 2 to it as an excuse to introduce Cream. The only one I'm not certain of is Sonic Heroes... the one scheming in that one wasn't even Eggman... but perhaps I could find a way to squeeze it in somehow later along in the story.

Okay, so you all know your Robotniks, right? Let's take a look at them.

Eggman = The one that looks like he does in the games. Threatening, but often times a little comical, too. Unlike the other 2, this one also has a good side to him... somewhere deep, DEEP down.
Robotnik = The one that looks like he does (or rather, did) in the Archie Comics. The most threatening of all of them, despite having the most flamboyant costume. Almost pure evil, no good anywhere to be found.
Eggbotnik = The most comical acting of them all, despite having a freaky looking face. This one takes the appearance of the one in AoStH. Very evil, but in a cartoony way.

Now that we have reviewed the 3 Robotniks, we have to decide which one gets which scheme. Keep in mind, when we RP, you can still spice things up and add your own stuff to these plans, so don't feel limited. Just keep in mind that we have to try to somehow squeeze these evil schemes in. Anywho, which Robotnik should get which plot?

Plot A ) Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic CD
Plot B ) Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic Adventure 1
Plot C ) Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Advance 2

Btw, I dunno if BR ever mentioned this before, but just so you're not confused, it was established quite a while ago that Prof. Gerald's full name in the Rapidverse is Prof. Gerald Kintobor, not Robotnik.

As for Sonic Heroes... I'll try to come up with a way to bring that in somehow much later in the story, and possibly add elements of Knuckles Chaotix to it.

Seeing as how I have not finished the original games, I would very much like to have Dr. Eggman have Plot C -- Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Advance 2.

Maybe we can work Sonic Heroes into things later on? After Metal Sonic has been introduced, seeing as how he's the final boss of Sonic Heroes and all...

That was precisely what I had in mind. Though, thinking back on it, the whole Sonic Heroes thing being mixed with Knuckles Chaotix... rather than that, maybe just having Mighty be part of Sonic Heroes, but not having the KC thing happen. Only 5 people in the world probably even played that game, so it's not all that important to the Rapidverse. However, Mighty should be introduced somehow at some point, seeing as how he was in the Rapidverse before, and not as a newly introduced character, either. The other characters did already know him.

Sounds good.

Btw, I still can't get over what Eggman looks like in the Sonic Next-Gen game... they made him all... pretty? Is that the right word? Seriously, I'm expecting this game to feature him with a rose in his mouth while he looks at his reflexion on the Eggpod with narcissistic glee.

Dude, seriously! Look at him! All he needs now is Armstrong's famous pink sparkles and the image will be complete! He doesn't even look evil anymore! It's like he's about to ask Sonic if he can be a judge at his next beauty contest or something!

"Hey, Sonic... let's let bygones be begones. I promise not to steal the Chaos Emeralds if you'll be a judge at my next competition. I'd ask you to vote in my favor even if you don't want to, but... how can anyone resist NOT voting for me? I'm so beautiful."

*ahem* Anywho, which one of those 2 in that pic is the Sally you're using? I feel stupid for asking this question... but I am a little confused. The one on the left looks closer to being 12, sine the other one looks MUCH younger... but at the same time, why would you post that if... I'm confused... however, if it IS the one on the right, maybe a slightly taller version of her but with that appearance? x_X If that's the case, I'll draw you a picture so as to avoid confusion. If not, maybe isolate the one on the left. Regardless... I think this question was turned into a paragraph and it really didn't need to be.

That's the only picture of young Sally I could find. I could draw, but I don't have a scanner anymore.

XD Armstrong Eggman! Ahhh... another long-lost Armstrong family relative? That's a bit scary actually...
