Sonic Adventures

Sonic Adventures is an idea for an animated television series. It follows the heroics of the popular animated character, Sonic the Hedgehog as he travels to a brand new place every episode and is usually confronted by Dr. Eggman.
==Premise==
The series take place on an alternate Earth. Like real Earth, humans are the dominant race, however the human race shares the world with the second most dominant race of anthromorphic animals known as Mobians. (Purely as the name of race, the cartoon has nothing to do with the planet Mobius. This is so they are identified easily from regular animals.)
Each episode centers around a location or environment that Sonic pass through on his travels by running, however depending on the story of the episode would result in Sonic being the hero, such as helping locals or fighting robots. Sonic is alone on his adventures however most episodes he is accompanied by his friend Tails or when venturing to Angel Island or certain adventures, also with Knuckles. Amy Rose who lives in Station Square also goes on adventures of her own to find Sonic wherever he maybe in the world.
There is no set story to the series, like AoSTH each episode is Sonic in a new place for an adventure, unlike the AoSTH these adventures do not always set on Dr. Eggman's schemes and can be of local heroics or fighting Eggman's robots working independently.
===Gold Rings and Chaos Emeralds===
Rings functioning similar to their cartoon counterparts, They are hidden throughout many places across the planet and will glow, levitate and slowly spin ready for the taking when Sonic discovers them (or at times reveal themselves for Sonic). When Sonic grabs a ring he is imbued with it's energy to give him a great boost in speed. Not only are these rings in a physical form but they are also able to appear to Sonic on monitors of any sort by the mysterious "ring channel", the screen will turn to static and display a gold ring. The destruction of the monitor will give Sonic the power of the ring without actually having the ring itself. (A sort of tie-in with item boxes.) The unique way rings are discovered (instead of being made as seen in the cartoons) as well as the ring channel is to imply a higher mysterious force over the rings, whenever sentient, magic or chaos is the decision of the audience.
Other than the rings that are scattered across the world, there are the seven Chaos Emeralds that serve as great power source and mystical artifacts, they are also hidden but only seven of them while there are plenty of rings hidden everywhere. They are desired by Dr. Eggman for their uses.
==Back story==
There is a back story which explains the origins of Sonic and Dr. Eggman, the story is similar to the Sonic Bible in which at one point Sonic was brown as a traditional hedgehog and he was friends with Dr. Eggman when he was known as Dr. Robotnik (instead of Kintobor, to tie in with his family Gerald Robotnik and Maria Robotnik).
Sonic's born in Green Hill Zone, South Island (instead of Nebraska or Christmas Island as said in the original bible). South Island being a place for both humans and mobians, but the island was also know for it's abundance of animals. As Sonic was fast for a normal hedgehog, as hedgehogs are known for just shuffle speed. He wanted to be faster. He befriended Dr. Robotnik after discovering his secret mountain laboratory.
===Sonic's story===
While hedgehogs are known just for moving at shuffle speed, Soni Needlemouse, a hedgehog born and raised in Green Hill Zone, was very athletic for a hedgehog. Since hedgehogs can naturally curl into a ball, He made something as simple as a forward roll as a silly yet fun activity as he rolls down hills like a ball (It made him dizzy but it was fun and was use to the dizziness). Other interests of his is jet planes as they can go really fast, and like them he wanted to be faster too.
He met Dr. Robotnik by finding his secret mountain lab. The professor took interest in his guest, the two becoming friends. As Soni was into being fast, Dr. Robotnik made for him exercise equipment that he wouldn't find in local gyms. In particular a high-tech treadwheel, which was mostly made from cobalt and was powered by Chaos Energy. He noticed Soni was faster than average mobian hedgehogs and interested, he ran tests on Soni's athleticisms as he develops.
Soni's natural agility developed so well that one time he decided to push himself to reach a new speed record for himself. A surge of Chaos Energy overloaded the machine and forced Soni to run faster than he was capable of, however he endured and pushed himself beyond his physical limit and eventually caused a sonic boom. His biology changed by the Advanced Non-Concussive Cobalt Effect to a more streamline body that was cobalt blue and jacked up Soni's body to be able to move at incredible speeds with little muscle development. Despite the lab accident and mutation, Soni saw his change as a blessing and since the word "sonic" in sonic boom sounded much like his name, he decides that "Sonic the Hedgehog" is a much more cooler and fitting name than Soni Needlemouse.
Apparently transformation is one of the extreme powers that Chaos Emeralds can imbue on living organisms which made this change to Sonic along with the cobalt element in the machine which made him blue, streamline and adapt to speed.
===The Eggman===
The villain known as Dr. Eggman was once a good person known simply as Dr. Robotnik. He was also once friend to Sonic the Hedgehog and assisted him into becoming the hedgehog he is today. Dr. Robotnik invented a machine called the Reverse Orbital Chaos Compressor which had the power to clear the world of pollution and to "return harmony to the world". This was done by the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds (though he had only found six, the white emerald was absent). To stabilize the chaotic powers of the six emeralds, Dr. Robotnik created the 100 gold rings for the machine and thus with this machine can power his secret laboratory on the top of South Island.
However one day the ROCC malfunctioned at the just moment when he was handling a rotten egg. The machine expelled negative Chaos Energy onto him and the machine exploded destroying the majority of his laboratory. Simular to how Sonic became fast and blue due to the properties of cobalt, Robotnik had slight mutation based on the rotten egg he was holding which after some time altered his body mass which gave him the appearance of an egg shaped man. Angry at the loss of his work and what he has become, he turned Sonic away and later from the path of who he was.
Dr. Robotnik rebuilt his laboratory as Scrap Brain in order to turn the islands small animals of the island into badniks. Eventually Sonic had to face his old friend and now enemy by getting up the mountain to Scrap Brain and stopping the now Dr. Eggman, thus the first of his many adventures.
==Inspiration==
*Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog - The first Sonic cartoon and basis of this cartoon.
*Samurai Jack - Jack as a wondering traveler and how each episode is a masterpiece in environment and location. Also the fast pace and brilliantly executed fight scenes.
*Jessica Borutski for the character designs and animation style.
*Sonic Bible - While outdated for canon, it still inspired me for a spin at this series, with the idea of the cartoon not necessarily be exactly based on the games.
*Ice King from Adventure Time - For Robotnik's transformation into the Eggman, I like the idea of his change being slow than instantly round and evil. His sanity and memories slowly lost as he becomes fixed on his goal of the evil domination and the Eggman Empire. Whenever he even recognize who he once was or not is uncertain.
