## *-CHALLENGE OF THE MONTH-*

It's a throwback to last year's color challenge. This month's challenge is a character creation! The catch is.. You only get 3 colors to work with. Firstly, check out this website here.

It has a color randomizer that will select the colors you are allowed to work with. Once the colors are selected, You cannot use any other colors, aside from white.

From there, you must create a character concept using those 3 colors! The SFC Issue cover is an example you can work with.

try to work creatively with the colors you're given, I know you guys can make something great!

Now.. Pick up that pen and start doodling!
SFC WHAT-NOTS 57: CURRENT NEWEST CREATION

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 57: CURRENT NEWEST CREATION

We’re about to be or are already in a new year.  As a sort of time-stamp moment, why not reflect on what we made over the year?  Especially the things we’ve made recently to show our increase of skill.

The question today is “What is your current newest creation?”  It can be a picture, a story, a song, or even a roleplay.  Why not throw in what the first thing you made this year was as well?  Let’s get some comparisons to show our improvement!

HOST’S EXAMPLE

My current newest creation would have to be a New Years Facebook Banner with some characters celebrating.  It doesn’t have any of my characters, but I think I gave it enough energy and pleasant atmosphere.
SFC WHAT-NOTS 22: THE POWER COUPLE (OLD LINE-UP)

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## OLD LINE-UP

This is part of the original What-Nots line-up before the update.  More polished episodes begin with episode 27.

## TOPIC

Lois Lane and Superman.  Spider-Man and Mary Jane.  Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor.  The Power Couple is the iconic romantic duo of some story or even franchise.  For us Sonic fans it would be Sonic and Sally Acorn.  For Mario fans it’s Mario and Princess Peach.  These characters act as the significant other to each other, and are a constant rule that no matter what happens, they’ll be together at some point again and again.  They complete each other, adding to strengths and weaknesses, and having a purpose to exist for the other.

The question here today is “Who is your Power Couple?”  Are they a new development?  A long-lasting one?  Have they ever broken up?  Have they been married?  What’s their story?  Many couples have an interesting history of how they met and fell in love, from the complexity of Beauty and the Beast, to the simple fun of Nest’s Swan Princess (How to Offend Women in Five Syllables or Less).  It can be something only you created, or between multiple users.
SFC WHAT-NOTS 45: GAMES BASED ON YOUR CHARACTER

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 45: GAMES ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER

Seeing as the franchise of Sonic the Hedgehog began in gaming, it’s understandable whenever you see someone making or talking about a fan game starring their fan character.  Maybe they’re just one of many.  Maybe they’re set in a universe separate from the games.  Sometimes you get something like Freedom  Planet, beginning as a Sonic-fan game, and becoming its own thing.

The question here today is “How would you design a game for your character?”  Which character would you choose?  What would their playstyle be like?  Would they act more like Sonic or something else?  Would they exist in the game continuity, Boom, Archie, IDW, or something else?  What would the plot be?
SFC WHAT-NOTS 25: CHAOS-ENERGY-WIELDING CHARACTERS (OLD LINE-UP)

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## OLD LINE-UP

This is part of the original What-Nots line-up before the update.  More polished episodes begin with episode 27.

## TOPIC

One of—if not possibly the definitive—staple of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is Chaos Energy.  Contained within the Chaos Force and Chaos Emeralds, this is the power used by villains and heroes.  It has the abilities to manipulate the elements, create constructs of powerful blasts, teleportation, and of course unlock a transcending super form for those that gain enough of the power.

The question today is “Do you have a chaos-energy-wielding character?”  Do they channel the energy naturally?  Do they use Chaos Emeralds?  Perhaps Power Rings?  Is it used through some other item?  How do they use the energy?  Do they simply teleport or are there other aspects you focus on with the character?
SFC WHAT-NOTS 44: FAVORITE FOOD

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 44: FAVORITE FOODS OF CHARACTERS

Well one of the things associated with Thanksgiving that isn’t Football and thankfulness is of course, food.  So simply put, it’s a simple question.  “What is your characters’ favorite food?”  Do they have a particular reason for it?  Do they like a whole culture of food or only one out of the group?  Is there perhaps a story behind it?

SFC WHAT-NOTS 59: WORST THING DONE BECAUSE OF LOVE

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 59: WORST THING DONE BECAUSE OF LOVE

Love is dangerous.  It can cause the most irrational behavior.  Sometimes this means something good in that you could become incredibly protective of someone and strive to be your best.  Sometimes it means doing something… dark.  A lover leaves, so one tries to force them back; a loved-one dies and so one hurts innocents to get back at the one responsible.  Sometimes this is the start to a villain’s backstory, and other times it’s a moment of weakness in a hero.

The question today is “What is the worst thing your character has done because of love?”  Was it because of romantic love, or more of a love for a friend or offspring?  Did it change the character into a villain?  Did they kill younglings for it?  What resulted from it, and was it resolved?

HOST’S EXAMPLE

On the zone Mercia, there was a race war between Mobians and Humans.  A young royal human named Mevrik fell in love with a royal mobian of the opposition to his kingdom.  This was discovered, and the mobian kingdom had his love killed.  Mevrik had a single child with this woman, who would exist as a pariah hybrid.  This drove Mevrik mad, and he dedicated the rest of his life to exterminating the mobian kingdom that acted so cruelly.  However, the princess of this kingdom—Selen—rose up and defeated Mevrik.  Bitter, Mevrik used dark magic to create a soul-eating being called “The Leech” and used it to start a campaign to eradicate the entire mobian species from the planet, and beyond.
SFC WHAT-NOTS 38: ANCIENT LOCATIONS

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 38: ANCIENT LOCATIONS

When going over the concept of lore, there’s more to consider than just the character or the item.  There’s the setting as well, and many times, there is some long-lost or long-standing area of great importance.  From Angel Island to Ancient Babylon, there are some well-known old locations in the Sonic Universe.

The question here today is “What Ancient Locations do you have?”  How old are they?  Are they still populated?  What purpose do they serve?  To what allegiance do they align?
SFC WHAT-NOTS 52: TIME TRAVEL SYSTEM

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.
**You can find the rest of the What-Nots [1].**

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 52: Time Travel System

Considering we as a people have yet to actually crack time travel, we can only speculate on how it works.  We’ve come up with terms like “paradox” and “Space-time continuum” but in the realm of science fiction and fantasy, the rules of time travel tend to differ.

The question today is “How do you use time travel?”  How strong are your time travel rules?  How often has it been used in your lore?  How do you relate it to the multiverse?  What kind of positive and negative effects have happened because of it?

## HOST’S EXAMPLE

My form of time travel works like a computer program.  When someone manages to travel back in time, they do not create an alternate timeline as this is only possible in the PRIME zone, with all non-prime zones having no ability to create alternate universes.  Two options remain: paradox correction or modification.

Paradox Correction simply has the time-travelling undone, and at the point when time travel is attempted, it will simply fail: a sort of universal firewall blocking the attempt as if to say “You do not have permission to do that”.

Modification means that whatever happens in the past as a result of time travel (or the present after going to and returning from the future) will replace the original timeline.  The time traveler(s) involved will either have their memories modified accordingly, or remain unchanged.  This in of itself splits off into two final results.

This has the new timeline existing, and the version who time travelled existing remain, and everything to and past the future time travel point being replaced.  Despite there being a clear sign of time travel, the timeline will remain in this new version.  When the time traveler arrives at the point when they originally time travelled, they will either merge with their original self and only have the new memories, or have both.
SFC WHAT-NOTS 50: TROPICAL CHARACTERS

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.
**You can find the rest of the What-Nots HERE .**

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 50: Tropical Characters

What do you think of when you think “Tropical”?  Coconuts?  Surfing?  Palm Trees?  Well any of these are acceptable examples, but what about characters?  From massive volcanoes to tiki torches and person-sized wooden masks, there is a lot of personality and culture with various tropical places.  Small islands, large jungles, and often an association with tribes and water.

The question today is “What kind of tropical characters do you have?”  These can be characters born in a tropical setting, they could have some kind of tropical trait associated with them.  A sentient pineapple, an island spirit, a well-known surfer, and more.

HOSTS’S EXAMPLE

A particular character of mine might be familiar to people as it’s an alternate of an official character: Solaris.  This Solaris comes from a different world, having developed over multiple generations as a fire spirit meant to protect her island kingdom.  Unfortunately, despite this version of Solaris not having evil intent, the planet was destroyed, and soon after, Solaris was absorbed by a giant called a “Ror Vlaseph” only to be freed quite a number of years later.

SFC WHAT-NOTS 29: WEAKEST CHARACTER

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 29: WEAKEST CHARACTER

Often people are trying to compete to see which character can be the most powerful, or perhaps most skilled.  It’s not usually the case that the conversation sways over to who has the most challenged characters instead.

The question today is “What is your weakest character?” Which of your sentient creations is the least skilled, least strong, least smart, etc.?  What caused them to be like this?  Have they changed perhaps from this over time, or did they start stronger and become weaker?

Note, we aren’t talking about the least-interesting or worst-developed character.  Characters with tons of flaws or weaknesses can often be the most eye-catching and fun to watch and read about.

SFC WHAT-NOTS 26: EMOTION-BASED CHARACTERS (OLD LINE-UP)

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## OLD LINE-UP

This is part of the original What-Nots line-up before the update.  More polished episodes begin with episode 27.

## TOPIC

Emotion is one of the cornerstones of making characters, be it the lack thereof, the control over one’s emotions, or the unstable inferno that lies beneath about to explode.  Sometimes this plays a role in the character’s powers, and other times it’s simply an important aspect to how the character acts.  They can be incredibly calm and in control, or perhaps nervous constantly and developing various mental disorders.

The question here today is “What is your emotion-based character?”  How does this aspect play into the character?  Is it a strength, a weakness, or both?  If a weakness, have they overcome it?  If not, why?  What was the cause?
SFC WHAT-NOTS 36: ALTERNATE CANON CHARACTERS

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 36: ALTERNATE CANON CHARACTERS

When you think of a fan character, you seldom imagine an alternate version of an established one.  We don’t always think about Sonic the Hedgehog who is now a cyborg powered by magic, or Antoine D’coolette who is now a mystical genie.  Regardless, because the multiverse exists in the franchise of Sonic, the possibilities of these different takes on the canon character are always potentially out there.

The question here today is “What is your alternate version of a canon character?”  Do they look different?  What’s different about their story?  Who plays a role in their life, and what specifically set them on this different path?  Is their world completely different, or relatively the same to the various continuities?
SFC WHAT-NOTS 21: SWORDS (OLD LINE-UP)

## WHAT-NOTS

## OLD LINE-UP

This is part of the original What-Nots line-up before the update.  More polished episodes begin with episode 27.

## TOPIC

Possibly the most popular of all weapons, we have the blade: the sword.  A long or short sharp-edged piece of metal (and occasionally space rock) that has appeared in countless cultures: the sword is often symbolic of the knight, the samurai, or more supernaturally the jedi, and so on.

The question today is “What swords do you have in your SFC world?”  Is it supernatural or simple?  What significance does the sword have?  Has it been used for good or evil?  What shape is it?  Has it been broken?  The possibilities are endless.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 54: MOST FASHIONABLE DESIGN

An odd question at first, but let’s focus on this.  When designing characters, sometimes the outfits can get a little crazy, or perhaps simple, but effective.  Maybe the outfits are relative to the fashion of the area, or maybe they’re based on something from real life.

The question today is “What is your most fashionable design?”  Is it based in a particular culture?  Is the design used at a particular story moment as a one-off, or does it appear often?  What are the inspirations for the design, and the in-story reasons?

HOST’S EXAMPLE

Of the many designs I’ve made, a simple yet I think rather modern and stylish one would be the design of “Vikki”, a character set on my Tolk world.  Vikki is a supporting cast-member for the character “Li’l Speeder” who tends to wear this two-part jacket.  The main piece is strapless and a light grey, but the sleeves come out from the top as a separate part as a darker grey.  She also wears a faded red scarf, pale tan pants, brown boots, and a pair of silver glasses on her head, with her hair being a volume blonde with black styles.

When designing the character, I just wanted something fairly simple, but looking like it would belong in a place like New York.  Whether or not I succeeded is up to the viewer of the image, but I think it works nicely.
MUPR:Y1:R3: "Gun In A Parade"

What is MUPR

Mobius United Plot-Roleplays are the original roleplays of past that deal with canon events in the Mobius United chronology.  For those that never got to be around in the prime of these roleplays, they are reposted for people to get to try them and know their history.

## INTRODUCTION

**Location: Choice of User**

**Time: 11:00 AM**

**Date: Choice of User**

Various companies are often shown off during parades, to show how much they’ve contributed to society’s well-being.  They could be food companies, scientific research organizations, inventive corporations, and others.  Some new faces from who-knows-where are also making an appearance.

Some government officials are also attending of course, but with such important people presently participating, the possibly of danger becomes far more probable.  Security is seen as per the usual, looking about at the rooftops, the crowds, the floats.  They were not the target today.

A tall man, human: he wore a grey coat, long like a lab-coat.  His hair was white, spiked upward but short for the most part, a small ponytail at the back.  He was at least forty years old, though the small lines on his face might imply fifty.  Despite all this, he was quite built underneath his clothing, but he only had a moment to turn to you, smile, and begin looking back to the crowds, before a bullet imploded on his head.

The blast turned to a white mist that pushed the crowd away while a figure, only barely noticeable as light flickered off their suit, moved in to retrieve the body.

**For those interested in this roleplay, please comment so and I will set up the continuation post separately with your name tagged.**

The context of this roleplay is a simple enough one.  Originally it just involved the attempted assassination of one of my villains before transitioning to a scenario where Rynk’s DNA was split into six different people before later being reformed.  It’s a possible idea I’ll use in the future perhaps, but as of now, not yet.
The Archive (Character)

The Archive

## Origin

The Identity was born to a family of Identities on Mobius zone 182.  She was highly educated on the planet, growing up with five other Identity siblings, two of which were hybrids.  She had many years of learning different techniques with constructs and Chaos Energy Types.  She became so interested in her own Psyche Archive in fact that she would spend entire days inside of it, building constructs and even cities inside.

She invited her family to join her at times, and they were quite impressed… at first.  Minutes turned to hours turned to months.  Concern spread throughout the family about staying too long in the Psyche Archive.  The Identity did not want to leave back to the real world.  When prompted hard enough, she revealed the multiple dark encounters she had been having with the people of Mobius 182: attacks, rejections...

She wasn’t going to leave.  They tried to force her out, but she almost died from the experience, so they left, and she remained: building.  The body she originally had remained still, floating like a statue.  Another Identity found it one day and managed to enter the Psyche Archive.  There, he and the Identity talked, exchanged information, constructs and techniques.  Then more came, then more, and soon she became overwhelmed.  She had literally millions of different programmed construcst in holdings.  She decided to set up a system for herself: she would appear at a different location each day, and anyone who wanted to speak with her and get a construct could.

Eventually Identities began staying inside her Psyche Archive, and even some organic mobians mentally interfaced.  She had to set up a system.  People could leave, stay, but go through regulations.

Now she is simply known as the Archive,  the populated husk of an Identity’s body, with a mind so incredibly vast and alive that it fills multiple people.

## Height

The height of the body is about 5 feet even.  The identity body inside the Psyche Civilization changes often.

## Occupation

The trade, storage, and creation of constructs.

## Biology/Skills

The Archie is an Identity, composed of nanites which are made up of stone, metal, and core energy, with chaos energy powering it.  Unlike other Identities, she has VERY little experience actually using constructs outside of her body.  She could easily use the constructs and experience she’s gotten from other Identities to create a super-powered body, but she never leaves the Psyche.

Still, this makes her one of, if not outright the most intelligent Identity.

## Allies

Fast friends and a lone encounter is all she keeps

## Enemies

She is impartial to the public and has no enemies.

## Identity Affiliation

She is impartial.  She does not ally with any Identity group.

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 27: DUEL-USER COUPLE

I’m sure ships are something we can all admit to have tried creating before.  You see a cool character and sometimes you think “Hey, maybe I could pair them with my character”.  Sometimes these fall through, but other times, they turn into something actually deep and long-lasting.

The question here today is “What is your Duel-User Couple?”  Do you have one?  How long has it been around?  What started it?  How did the characters meet?  What is their relationship?
Ein böses Missverständnis

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 40: ALIENS

In the Sonic universe, we’ve encountered a variety of entities not native to Earth/Mobius, from Sonic X’s Seedrians and the Metarex, to the games with the Black Arms and Wisps, to the Archie comics with the Xorda.  The franchise is certainly full of diverse races that do not depend only on the animal-like cast we are so familiar with.

The question here today is “What are your aliens?”  Do you have an entire planet of aliens or is there just a few or even just one?  What is their biology?  What’s their story?  Do they interact with your more Sonic-like content?

For example one of my own alien species are called “The Meterrosoplitanatans” or “Meterros” for short.  They’re a semi-aquatic species from their own planet, generally peaceful.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 49: MONARCHIES

The royal government has been a highly romanticized form of rulership, and a historical one, as far back as we can remember.  These monarchies come in many forms: a true royalty-controls-all where the king says what happens, a figurehead where a council or secret ruler controls without notice while a puppet is seen at the front, or perhaps something more modern, where royalty is more of a celebrity title and a Republic or public council is clearly seen as in control.

The question today is “What kind of monarchies do you have?”  How did they begin?  Where did they begin?  When?  What has been their impact on your stories/characters?

### HOSTS’S EXAMPLE

One of my own monarchies comes in the form of the Mercian lineage.  The Mobius zone 8111 originally went by a name now lost to time.  Five kingdoms existed on a particular continent, but over time, this zone’s Mercian kingdom expanded until it had taken over the majority of the planet.  The planet itself was thus renamed as “Mercia”.

This planet-kingdom did not last, however.  As the planet advanced, more cultures revealed themselves, and the government was split back out into larger countries.  Mercia was changed into the Mercian Territories, where mobian and human/overlander groups underwent a multi-generational war.  The last of the Mobian Mercian bloodline ended with the then princess, Selen, who was driven out by the last of the human Mercian bloodline, Mevrick: also known as Mevrick the Witch King due to his use of magic.

Selen returned and reclaimed the territories, but Mevrick returned soon after this, and using a new monster of his own creation, ended the mobian lineage.

Mevrick himself only remained in power some short years before leaving the zone entirely.  Currently, the Mercian territories are a land without government, and a rather small population despite the area’s large size.  Most populations are in small villages scattered about hundreds of miles.

Die Lage spitzt sich zu: Ein Mann namens Death kommt im Auftrag der Indies Trading Company, um ein Auge auf das Vorgehen von Kapital zu werfen, denn man vermutet, dass er Raymond finanziert, damit dieser die Macht ergreifen kann.

One of the great things about fictional characters is that you can make them whatever you want, but even better, with Sonic Fan Characters you can have them look like anything and make it in a way that reflects a culture or country.  An Irish Echidna, a Russian Walrus, a Hawaiian Mouse, or even something made up.

The question here is what is the nationality of your character (or one of them)?  What is the story behind it?  Did you make up one yourself and what real-life cultures and locations was it based upon?  How are these attributes reflected in how your character looks, talks, and acts?

FOR EXAMPLE

Carl is a Huskie from the fictional country called “Mustrom”, which is based on the country of Russia.  His accent and thick fur is reflective of his home-environment and speech pattern.
SFC WHAT-NOTS 39: MASCULINE CHARACTERS

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 39: MASCULINE CHARACTERS

A man’s man comes in many forms.  Protective, muscular, athletic, etc.  The architypes appear in our most beloved superheroes.  The easy example of the Superman or Spider-Man, but even in the Sonic franchise, we have characters like Knuckles the Echidna or Mighty the Armadillo for the strength, Sonic as our heroic attitude, and of course Shadow being the “Ultimate Lifeform”.

The question here today is “Who are your masculine characters?”  What aspects of masculinity to they exhibit?  Are they strong?  Are they fatherly?  Perhaps good-looking?  What led them to those attributes?  Are they more heroic: embracing the good side of the alpha male?  Are they villainous: taking advantage of their more aggressive tendencies?
SFC WHAT-NOTS 16: SCARIEST CHARACTER (OLD LINE-UP EPISODE)

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## OLD LINE-UP

This is part of the original What-Nots line-up before the update.  More polished episodes begin with episode 27.

## TOPIC

Everyone’s got a more horror-entitled side of themselves, and some of us decide to go all the way with that and create something meant to send chills down the spines of others.  Sometimes it’s gory, other times it can be more psychological, taking the form of a pleasant little girl that suddenly tries to stab you in the back.

Regardless of what we create, the question today is “What is the scariest character you’ve ever made?”  What makes them so terrifying and how did you come up with the idea?
SFC WHAT-NOTS 42: NOTABLE EVENTS

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 42: NOTABLE EVENTS

With every character there is at least one series of moments strung together in a theme called an “event”, from a party to a wedding to a funeral and so on.  However these aren’t just passing events: they have to be ones that had some significant impact on the character or characters.

The question here today is “What notable events were significant to your character(s)?”  Were they positive or negative?  Crowded or private?  Was there a particular theme?  What was the outcome?
SFC WHAT-NOTS 34: SOLARIS INFLUENCE

## WHAT-NOTS

The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 34: SOLARIS INFLUENCE

While the topic of Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 may be a touchy subject for some, one of the more popular areas was the art design and the characters of Iblis, Mephiles, and Solaris.  For those unaware, Solaris is the main antagonist of the Sonic 06 game, being a flame that consumes Time and Space.  Mephiles is the intelligent half, while Iblis is the power half.  Neither received too much development, but that hasn’t stopped fans from getting creative.

The question here today is “What Solaris influence do you have in your Sonic content?”  It can be a character that takes on the attributes, it can be a world influenced, or just some history used.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 56: WHAT CHARACTER OR PART OF YOUR LORE ARE YOU MOST THANKFUL FOR?

As we interact with other creative minds, we tend to build more and more content.  Sometimes this falls through, but other times, the content takes root and develops into something great.

The question today is “What character or part of your lore are you most thankful for?”  It can be something you came up with or someone else did.  It can be a story, a piece of art, a roleplay, a song, or something else.

### HOST’S EXAMPLE

It’s hard to pick THE thing, but I have to say that I’m particularly thankful for all the investment in the Identity content specifically people have had.  I was afraid that these characters would come across as too tri-hard or OP, but I’m flattered by the attention, especially with the Virus character.
Something To Read 10: Digital

## Something To Read

The purpose of the Something To Read series is to provide a new writing prompt every month in an attempt to get those out there that want to participate into writing little short stories to help with creative ideas, or perhaps other things such as trying a new character in a certain scenario or simply for entertainment/inspiring.  These activities posted monthly can be either broad and wide or very specific in nature, which can also put a spin on what's written every month by those who decide to participate.

### Topic

This month's topic is a broad one, having to do with digital machines, characters, contraptions, worlds, or anything else that could come between or anywhere else. There could be some robots that are taking over the world, perhaps robots that are sentient and hiding from those that would seek to dismantle them, perhaps there's a character with cybernetics, perhaps there's an entire world or city that resembles something that would jump out of sci-fi with high tech gadgetry and people.

Other approaches could be some kind of simulation where the story follows a group of simulated characters and their world that can change at a blink of an eye, changed by those that control the digital simulation. Maybe there's some characters with really high tech suits that let them pull off all kinds of feats. Maybe some programs or viruses from machines or computers found some way to jump out into the real world and materialize, either to the point of exploring or causing absolute havoc. Or, for another approach, maybe the story instead focuses on simple modern day technology. Perhaps the characters are having a banter while rigging up a security system to watch over their headquarters. Perhaps the short story is set over the characters communicating via phone, computer, or some other means. Maybe it follows a character in the process of inventing something new, or fixing something that was broke. What kind of ideas could you come up with that aren't listed here, if one of these didn't spark an idea? There's all kinds of things that could be done.

As always, the point of these Something To Read episodes is to inspire creativity and perhaps let the ideas roam. You could stick to the prompt alone or combine it with any of your other ideas, or perhaps even the other Something To Read episodes if you wanted to. Feel free to ask away if you have any questions, though make sure to stay within the community rules with both your questions and your written entries.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 48: IMPORTANT BATTLES

Fighting isn’t foreign to the Sonic universe.  Being a video game franchise, you’ll often have a boss fight of some sort, or hear about a war of some sort against the main villain.  Sometimes a battle is something massive in scale against thousands of units, but other times it’s just a street-level tussle.

The question here today is “What notable battles have happened in your world?”  Which characters did they involve?  What were the stakes?  What were the causes?  Who won, and how intense was it?
Something To Read 14: Fun on the Beach

## Something To Read

The purpose of the Something To Read series is to provide a new writing prompt every month in an attempt to get those out there that want to participate into writing little short stories to help with creative ideas, or perhaps other things such as trying a new character in a certain scenario or simply for entertainment/inspiring.  These activities posted monthly can be either broad and wide or very specific in nature, which can also put a spin on what's written every month by those who decide to participate.

### Topic

Fun in the sun! This month's Something To Read is about spending time on or near the beach. Family vacation to a large and fun resort? Vacation with friends? Simple day trip to the beach for some swimming and beach volleyball? Got any ideas?

The characters could be spending the day on the beach, perhaps all having fun in each other's presence and enjoying trying to learn how to play volleyball. Maybe they go for a round of swimming races and have fun in the water. Maybe it's a single character walking along the beach enjoying the fresh air or trying to clear their head, either just because or maybe something happened. Perhaps it's a couple spending their lovely date or honeymoon watching the sunset together from under a large beach umbrella. Maybe there's a fun party happening on all the beach and the characters go there for fun. Maybe someone spends the night out on the beach watching a grand fireworks display.

Or, if you went with an idea such as a vacation or a resort, maybe you could put some extra focus on what else they're doing when they're not at the beach (or after they left the beach for the day). Maybe they're staying at a beach-side vacation home which gives way into a large amusement park or other attractions around the beach. There could be all kinds of things available, especially if the characters came specifically for a vacation of some kind, or for some kind of tourist attraction.

As always the point of these Something To Read episodes is to inspire creativity and perhaps let the ideas roam. You could stick to the prompt alone or combine it with any of your other ideas, or perhaps even the other Something To Read episodes if you wanted to. Feel free to ask questions if you need to, though make sure to stay within the community rules with your questions and written stories.

SFC WHAT-NOTS 55: MYSTERIOUS FOLKLORE

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 55: MYSTERIOUS FOLKLORE

“Wrong will be right when Aslan comes in sight.”  “Beware the Jabberwock, my son!”  “For the Witcher, heartless and cold…”

These and others are examples of folklore built up in one series or another: stories of an ancient or current entity that spread about an area, gaining popularity.  Often there are songs written about these.  They can be heroic or haunting, encouraging or a warning.

The question today is “What is some mysterious folklore in your content?”  Is it an older legend, or a recent event?  Is it about a villain or a hero?  Is it scary or uplifting?  And of course, are there any poems or rhymes, perhaps slang, about this?

HOST’S EXAMPLE

Some folklore of my own involves my Banshee Mobian species—the Bast Sedom—surrounding a historic event called the “Refine”.  This was a genocide to purge both Banshees, and another species called “Nictrela”.  Banshees live in hiding throughout their home-zone Mobocan (Mobius 4149), with very few having escaped.

There’s something of a “Banshee Lullaby” that goes over the events of the Refine.  It narrates warriors coming to destroy a town, and the leaders laying down their arms to let the invaders crush everything.  An entity the Banshees call the Red Knight—or Firish WORes—arrives to fight for the Banshees, but is thought to be killed.  The song ends with “Savior, oh please come save me”.

## TOPIC

SFC WHAT-NOTS # 37: RESURRECTED CHARACTERS

Considering Easter just passed, this brought to my attention the concept of how in fictional stories, characters who were once thought to be corpses turn out to be alive in one form or another.  Sometimes they truly died, and sometimes it was a trick.

The question here today is “What characters of yours have come back from the dead?”  Were they truly dead or just thought to be?  Did they truly die and if so how were they revived?  What reasons were there for them dying and coming back?
