Azure Blue World - Sonic the Hedgehog AU

Azure Blue World is a Sonic the Hedgehog alternative universe continuity that seeks to unify and add to the existing ongoing game continuity.
=Characters=
==Main Protagonists==
* Sonic the Hedgehog (debuts in Azure Blue World arc) - A rebellious teen hailing from Christmas Island. Possessing fantastical speed and tons of attitude, Sonic is largely self-absorbed during his early years and runs away from home to see the world. However, upon becoming embroiled in the ongoing conflict between the antagonistic Dr. Eggman and the Resistance, Sonic learns the importance of self-sacrifice and develops a strong sense of justice, while never quite dropping his independent and snarky streaks.
==Main Antagonists==
* Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik (debuts in Prison Break arc) - An "Outsider", a species originating from the Space Colony ARK that fled to the surface of Azure. Exiled from the rest of Outsider society for his inhumane scientific experiments, Dr. Eggman quickly set out to conquer Azure and form his own planet-wide empire. Possessing an enormous intellect and an equally huge ego, Dr. Eggman sincerely believes that the entire world and its inhabitants would be better off unified under his sole vision. Operating from a number of stationary and mobile bases around the globe, he's constantly hatching deranged plots designed to seize power. Although he may seem goofy and bombastic, he can also be utterly cold and ruthless in the pursuit of his goals. Dr. Eggman is one foe not to be underestimated.
==Secondary Protagonists==
* The Resistance - A secret network that opposes Dr. Eggman, formed during his early conquests and typically operating in areas under his control. The Resistance provides weaponry, intelligence, and safe haven to its members, and also typically administers newly-liberated areas until the local government can get back on its feet.
** Mighty the Armadillo (debuts in Prison Break arc) - Founder of the Resistance and one of its most important assets. Possessing a tremendous sense of empathy and duty, Mighty repeatedly throws himself into danger in an effort to help others free themselves from Dr. Eggman's control, sometimes to the point of recklessness. Mighty has an immense amount of raw physical power, but typically holds himself back, his demeanor being very gentle and kind. It takes a lot to anger him. Once you do, however, he becomes a highly-destructive force that even he struggles to control.
** Ray the Flying Squirrel (debuts in Prison Break arc) - A member of the Resistance, who joined after Mighty saved him from one of Eggman's attacks during the organization's early days. He's rather uncertain of himself, awkward around new people, and skittish and prone to panic in battle, depending on Mighty to keep his morale in check. However, he's also one of the very best fighter pilots in all of the world. When operating in the cockpit of his personal plane, The Tempest, his personality completely changes, becoming aggressive, highly coordinated, and brash. Despite his flying and fighting prowess, his plane does tend to get shot down a lot, after which his attitude switches back to its more high-strung default. He and Mighty are an inseparable pair, and travel together to wherever the Resistance is needed at the moment.
==Other Characters==
* Outsiders - A strange outside species that originated on the Space Colony ARK and fled to the surface of Azure nearly fifty years ago. Most Outsiders live in Colony-1, a small fortified settlement along the coast. Having been confronted by Azure's native sentient species and nearly driven to extinction shortly after their arrival on the planet, a good portion of Outsiders are xenophobic or at the very least highly distrustful of non-Outsiders, and refuse to travel outside of the area under their control for any extended period of time. However, other Outsiders are more friendly and have left Colony-1 to integrate themselves into the wider world. Small pockets of these more-outgoing Outsiders can be found throughout the planet, and are typically referred to as humans, the species's preferred name. Outsiders tend to be technologically-sophisticated. Colony-1 Outsiders have the additional traits of being isolationist, obsessed with cleanliness, and possessing minimalist aesthetics.
