Knuckles Clan (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

The Knuckles Clan, also known as the Knuckles tribe, is a group that appears in the AngieYaz/RoseOfSharon reboot of the Sonic Underground television series, emigrated from the mainline Sonic the Hedgehog series. It was a race of echidnas that lived over 4,000 years ago in what would become the Mystic Ruins, and the ancestors of Knuckles. After an era of bloody war efforts, the clan was virtually incapacitated when they incurred the wrath of Chaos. Though remnants of the clan remained, most of them would disappear in the centuries that followed.
==Description==
===Characteristics and culture===
The men of the Knuckles Clan sport white, intricate tattoos on their heads and arms and have gloves similar to those of Knuckles. The men are also the only members of the tribe to possess the spiky protrusions/knuckles from their gloves. The women primarily work on agricultural/domestic projects, staying at home to clean the homes, cook the meals and care for the children. Only males wear boxing gloves. Females wear normal gloves, like Sonic and Amy Rose, and have visible fingers. Some women even wear jewelry.
During Chief Pachacamac's rule, the Knuckles Clan were very warlike and hungry for conquest, and took delight in pillaging and razing villages to the ground. War would bring one great honor. They were also very patriarchal, with the men seemingly dominating all aspects of life, both domestic and public, and especially political.
===Spirituality===
The Knuckles Clan echidnas appear to worship the serpent, and incorporated it into their architecture of the Shrine and pillars, but not everyday folks' homes. Also, many of the doors inside and out of the Shrine is the shape of a fanged snake's mouth. All of the designs were very detailed, and were used to decorate many buildings and pillars, as well as the eyes of the snake-doors and entrance to the Altar of Emerald. The Knuckles Clan also held the Chaos Emeralds in reverence, such as in an ancient recitation.
===Political and social organization===
The Knuckles Clan were a chiefdom in political organization, being ruled by a chieftain and his wife. There was no democracy, and the ruler was absolute in the chief's authority. Interestingly, the Knuckles Clan appeared to be both peaceful and matriarchal before the rise of Pachacamac. The former chief, Tikal's grandmother, was very wise and loving and unwavering in her devotion to peace. Pachacamac, however, turned the Clan into a band of murderous warriors and bandits, subjugating neighboring tribes to their barbaric rule. In a short time, Pachacamac quickly turned his nation into a force to be reckoned with.
==History==
===Early existence===
In the centuries prior to their downfall, the Knuckles Clan had been living in peace. During their time, they established a city close to the Altar of the Emeralds, where the Chaos emeralds and a Chao colony resided.
===Rise and fall of the Knuckles Clan===
Pachacamac inherited the leadership of the clan from his beloved mother. Unlike the peaceful chief before him, Pachacamac yearned to expand the Knuckles Clan's small kingdom, and so made his move after his predecessor's death. Evolving the Knuckles Clan into a body of war, Pachacamac led a series of swift conquests of the neighboring countries, plundering and killing everyone. As a result, the Knuckles Clan's empire grew significantly in size and wealth. While the majority of the Knuckles Clan supported Pachacamac for the wealth and power he had given them, Pachacamac's peace-loving daughter Tikal severely opposed her father's warmongering.
In a supposed act of desperation in the face of his clan's destruction, Pachacamac sought to steal the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald from the Altar of the Emeralds by force, believing they were the keys to the Knuckles Clan's survival and continued victories. However, Tikal, pleaded him not to go through with his plan.
Despite her daughter's pleads, Pachacamac orchestrated a violent attack on the altar with his warriors, where Tikal and the local Chao tried to stop their theft. Pachacamac, however, ignored Tikal's pleas for a peaceful resolution and had his men trample over them. This profound act of indiscrimination enraged Chaos, corrupting it with anger. In retaliation, it transformed into Perfect Chaos with the negative energy of the Chaos Emeralds. Killing Pachacamac and his men, Chaos laid waste to the Knuckles Clan civilization and seemingly wiped out nearly the whole clan overnight—unbeknost to Perfect Chaos, they were all teleported to safety. Before Chaos could destroy the rest of the world, Tikal sealed Chaos in the Master Emerald with herself.
===Decline===
In the aftermath of the Knuckles Clan's actions, much of the world was left changed forever; the clan's city lay in ruins, becoming the Mystic Ruins.
