Ancients (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

The Ancients are a group that appears in the AngieYaz/RoseOfSharon reboot of the Sonic Underground television series, emigrated from the Sonic Boom series. They were a long-lost and highly advanced race of beings who long ago devoted themselves to peacefully controlling the world's resources. However, they were betrayed by a rogue Ancient named Lyric, whom they imprisoned after a costly war. 
Over the following centuries, the Ancients would go nearly extinct, with the exception of Lyric and a few others. In modern times, much of what remains of the Ancients include their old ruins and abandoned creations that lie scattered around the world.
==Description==
===Anatomy===
It is not entirely clear who or what the Ancients were, as their true anatomy is unknown and ambiguous at best. In most of their depictions, their figures are hidden and illustrations of them are up to interpretation. What can be concluded is that the majority of them resembled bipedal anthropomorphic animals with medium-long muzzles. Some, however, are much different, resembling giant and monstrous snakes. This might suggest that the Ancients were not necessarily a single race, but rather a group of different anthropomorphic animals much like modern-day Mobians.
===Characteristics and culture===
The majority of the Ancients were a good-natured and noble race guided by the philosophy of peace and the greater good. Notably, they were devoted to peacefully controlling the world's resources and would willingly sacrifice their most precious and vital relics to protect Mobius from villains seeking to abuse them. 
It is hinted that the Ancients deeply respected the natural world, having lived in perfect harmony with nature despite their advanced technology. However, not all Ancients were inherently good. Lyric, for example, went mad with power and turned on his own kind to destroy all organic life in the world.
It has been shown several times that the Ancients had their own writing system. The exact symbols used for this system, however, has been portrayed inconsistently. For example, the Ancients utilized a form of runic alphabet glyph symbols similar to the message that Queen Aleena wrote on the Floating Island. In addition to this, the Ancients used as well a secret, but similar system with emphasis on circles, arches and lines which even certain Ancients did not know about. This secret language has since been abandoned and only history buffs like Amy and Sonic's pocket computer TECHNIS can translate it.
The Ancients were a highly developed people in terms of technological prowess. Even centuries ago, they knew how to construct high-tech robots, mechs and facilities, develop time machines and energy shackles, and accomplish immense feats of construction like floating cities. Despite the time that has passed since then, the Ancients' technology remains virtually unsurpassed by anything else in the present day. Also, many of their creations have remained functional despite having been unattended for centuries, showing they were made to last. The Ancients are as well known for their mineral-based power sources which they would often harness for the good of their civilization.
The Ancients were a widespread civilization, having established several outposts and colonies across the seas. In addition, their architecture often incorporated their signature runes.
