History Fanfic / SonicHolograph

* WeirdCrossover: No but, really. ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', a shounen-inspired video game series about anthropomorphic animals fighting a mad scientist and ''Hololive'', a collective of virtual idol live-streamers? The longer this AU has been in production however, the less outlandish the premise has become. SEGA and Hololive have collaborated multiple times now, [[Characters/HololiveJapanGAMERS Korone Inugami]] has started her journey into the Sonic series and been contacted by ''Sonic[note]'s voice actor using a Live2D model [/note] himself'' live on stream! With Korone and Sonic getting chummier by the day, it's become something of a recurring gag behind the scenes that Sonic Holograph is [[{{Canon}} canon]].

* UrsineAliens: Nene the Sun Bear is, in fact, not your average anthropomorphic animal. Drawing from her lore [[{{Retcon}} pre-redesign]], she is an alien hailing from Planet Taotao, though at first it's hard to tell her apart from the rest of the brightly coloured animal-folk running around... [[OverlyLongTongue Then she sticks her tongue out]].

* AdaptationalContextChange: A particular favourite of this AU, taking advantage of the various ''Hololive'' media streams such as music, animations and of course livestreams to weave in references that either serve as cute nods to the source material all the way to the occasional WhamLine. ''Sonic'' examples are also present, though due to the nature of these stories taking place after VideoGame/Sonic Forces, there is currently no arc dedicated to adapting certain parts of the Sonic lore. Examples include:

** When Kiara is trying to talk Calliope out of going to war with the Atlanteans in ''Myth'' after her fight with Sonic, she mentions that Calliope often ends up resigning herself to the role of the 'big-headed bad guy' so that everyone else can feel better rallying against her. This line comes from the real life idol's song 'guh'. The original context of this phrase refers to the large number of people throwing hateful comments, insults, death threats etc. at Calliope due to factors such as her sudden rise to popularity, and how this song being targeted at that group makes it notably more aggressive and derogatory compared to the rest of her tracks, which are usually written to excite or relate to her audience. In the context of this scene however, Kiara is calling Calliope out on her tendency to throw herself under the bus for the sake of others which, while admirable, is hurting the people that love her and will only make things worse in the long run.

** In ''Unbound'', Laplus' {{Catchphrase}} is 'heed my call!' and her subordinates all refer to her as 'my Dark'. This is a play on the real life idol's stream introduction, in which she demands the chat to heed her call and respond with 'YES MY DARK'. This led to many a comedic corruption at Laplus' expense in her livestreams, but Holograph plays it straight as an attention-grabbing phrase and a term of respect in that order.

* GemstoneAssault: Aura Energy in physical form is depicted as crystal, meaning those juiced up on said power such as Shining Sonic gain the ability to expel Aura projectiles as physical crystal missiles rather than some form of energy blast (at least, most of the time). Infinite also wields crystal powers both from his own Aura manipulation as well as the power of the Phantom Ruby, which he learned to create crystal hands from in the same vein as Eggman in VideoGame/SonicMania.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: What happens when you cross ''Sonic'', a series known for it's extended cast, with ''Hololive'', an idol agency with over 50 talents? Lots of faces and names to remember, that's what.

** In ''Stardust Song'', [[spoiler: Kronii foresees a future in which a giant rabbithole anomaly opens somewhere in the universe as a result of Sana's grave wounds earned in a battle against the Planet-Eater's forces. This rabbithole would be so large that it would suck in local [[AlternateDimension alternate dimensions]], leading to a cataclysm similar to the one Sonic and Blaze fought to prevent in VideoGame/SonicRush. She averts this outcome by using her power as the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Time to spread the 'distortion' generated by Sana's injuries out across time. [[Futureshadowing This causes smaller rabbitholes to open up in the past]] as well as the future, and they would only last a few weeks before ceasing to appear in theory.]]

** ''Plasmagic Seasons!!'' has it's [[spoiler: bad ending, an alternative scenario in which Blaze refuses to give back the power of the seasons she gained across her adventure yet still wishes to have her original pyrokinesis restored. After [[BroadStrokes skipping over the implied events of ''Resistance'']] for [[Spoiler spoiler reasons]], we see Blaze return home and a montage depicts her gaining incredible power thanks to her pyrokinesis, season powers and the power of the Sol Emeralds. Unfortunately due to the nature of the Sol Emeralds requiring a proper Guardian to keep them in check lest they cause worldwide natural disasters, Blaze's newfound power has the effect of making the maintanance of her planet much more stressful than before on account of her mind and body becoming a tricky balancing act to control properly. Sure, now she can control the weather and natural forces of her whole world actively rather than just preventing them from falling into disaster, but control is an addictive thing...]]

* CoolGate: Rabbitholes, also known as the Rabbithole Phenomena. These spatial anomalies act as gateways to other dimensions and are the root cause of most arcs in the first Saga, continuing to be relevant in the second after they get worse due to [[spoiler: Infinite damaging reality]]. In ''Stardust Song'', we learn that their initial cause was [[spoiler: Sana the Speaker, embodiment of Space, being wounded in a battle against an army of deep-space demons. This inadvertently allows the[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Futureshadowing first story arc to become possible at all.]]]] Starting with the end of ''Resistance'', Tails begins working on a device that can forcibly close these anomalies when they arise as well as a type of radar to detect them.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: The Council are concepts given physical bodies and minds of their own, and as well as administrating their reality are quite ''literally'' the concepts they embody. When Sana, embodiment of Space, is wounded in a battle against an army of deep-space demons, spatial anomalies retroactively open throughout the series which inadvertently cause the events of the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Futureshadowing first story arc to become possible at all.]]

* FluffyTheTerrible: 'Bibi' is a shape-shifting little devil fairy that acts as a guardian spirit for Towa the Imp. His cutesy name initially lends itself to the image of a rascally little fella you can't stay mad at for long, but it becomes far more dissonant after Bibi is experimented on and mutated into a powerful [[LivingLava magma monster]].

* MoveInTheFrozenTime: Eggman to Sonic after he first reveals his Aura Armour. Now that he's running on the same energy as Sonic's powered bracelet, he's become something of a {{Time Master}} (see below).

* {{Space Master}}: Sana the Speaker, AnthropomorphicPersonification of Space and known for performing all kinds of feats using her complete dominion over such a powerful universal concept (such as sending the [[SealedEvilInACan sealed container]] housing the essence of the [[VideoGame/SonicGenerations Time Eater]] into an unreachable void).

* {{Time Master}}: When using his Aura-powered golden bracelet or his Shining Sonic transformation, Sonic gains the ability to control time to a certain degree. He can pause, rewind or slow time for a precious few seconds using his bracelet whereas his Shining Form is limited only by Sonic's imagination and energy reserves. Also applies to: Amelia the Dog, a time traveler who also uses an Aura-based artifact in the form of her pocket watch which allows her to properly travel through time as far as she likes, Entropy, a cosmic monster born from the straightforwardly-named Time Eater of the ''Sonic'' series regenerating from death by snacking on local ''Hololive'' [[EldritchHorror void monsters]] The Ancient Ones and finally Silver, Sonic's friend and a known time-traveler hailing from 200 years in the future of his world. Special mentions to go Kronii the Warden, who is the AnthropomorphicPersonification of time itself.

* HumanCannonball: Since conventional weapons don't work on the 'void monsters' attacking in ''Myth'', Sonic gets the bright idea to use himself as ammo instead when fighting the Entropic Dragon - one of the strongest of these beasts going. He got the idea after using cannons to navigate an invading pirate fleet earlier in his adventure, and while his partner Anya was initially horrified at Sonic's lack of self-preservation instincts, she was much more willing to go through with this act the second time if it was what had to be done to slay the dragon.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: When Towa's guardian fairy Bibi is mutated into a monster by Doctor Eggman, he only needs someone strong enough to [[DefeatMeansFriendship best him in combat]] so that he can come down from his wrathful state. For poor Gura in ''Myth'', however, it takes almost the whole adventure and multiple fights before Sonic and Anya can finally cut her free from the control of Entropy. The entire time, Gura's friends are watching on and hoping beyond hope that Sonic can bring their loved one back to them without killing her.

* KilledOffForReal: Infinite at the end of ''Resistance''. Sonic's FinishingMove not only destroys the body Infinite worked the entire story to obtain, but is also seen [[CessationOfExistence vaporizing his SOUL]]. Sonic is usually up for giving his foes the benefit of the doubt or thinking them not dangerous enough to warrant stooping to murder, but he has been known to dole out the occasional FateWorseThanDeath such as what he did to [[VideoGame/SonicAndTheSecretRings Erazor Djinn]] as well as claim that he 'can't always be the hero' in VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight. After everything that Infinite did and planned to do, Sonic not only had no choice but kill him to stop a potential multiversal threat, but [[GoodIsNotSoft for once actually wanted to kill his opponent]] so as to make sure he could never hurt anyone ever again.

* StarSpangledSpandex: Hoshinova, the Goddess of the Moon, seems to turn those she makes her hosts partially purple starting from the top of the head and moving down, this purple being decorated with actual twinkling stars. Applies to Moona the Rabbit ([[PowerGlow though the stars don't always show]]) and Shadow the Hedgehog when in his Nova Shadow form.

* SoleSurvivor: Roboco is the only member of a lost civilization still alive to this day. Due to their reckless experimentation with Aura Energy, the synthetic [[PowerCrystal Aura-focusing crystals]] they made were far too potent and absorbed so much ambient energy that the prospering AdvancedAncientAcropolis was violently ReclaimedByNature. Being a living machine and with an Aura Crystal of her own to keep herself safe, Roboco was spared this dire fate and forever walks the mournful streets of her old home... [[CallToAdventure Until suddenly, things start to change]].

* Necromancy: A study of magic taught at the Demonic Realm Academy is necromancy, the art of death. While it is capable of traditional feats such as raising undead minions, it is also shown to be applicable as raw magical attacks with a spooky, unholy flair.
