Protagonists
Silver the Hedgehog
"I am SO blaming Sonic for this"
Silver the Hedgehog is an average kid living in San Francisco... except for his strange and terrible dreams of a dying Blue Hedgehog, a Black Hedgehog, and mysterious gems called "Chaos Emeralds". What will he do, when these "figments of his imagination" appear before him in real life?
- The Call Knows Where You Live: When Silver Refuses the Call and quits, Nicole controls Metal Sonic to ambush and seriously injure Vennie, which persuades Silver to return to his mission.
- The Chosen One: He is selected by Sonic and Shadow to retrieve the Chaos Emeralds, helped by his Recurring Dreams of what happened to them 200 years ago.
- Dreaming of Times Gone By: Issue 1 starts with Silver dreaming of the killing of Sonic and Sonic's best friends 200 years ago. His dream is a recurring one.
- Geek: He is a big dinosaur lover, as his dinosaur-print boxer shorts and his bedrooms, with dinosaur posters and models inside, in his family's house and the New Chaotix mansion show.
He is also fond of
paleontology in general, evolutionary anthropology (which is one of Evan Stanley's biggest interests), non-fiction involving those two topics, science fiction, Simulation Games, and probably Real-Time Strategy games. - Homeschooled Kids: He and her sisters are homeschooled by their mother.
- It's All My Fault: He blames himself for what happened to Vennie. It takes Tikal giving him a pep talk to snap him out of it.
- Locked Out of the Loop: He didn't know that his parents were part of the New Chaotix. Or that Blaze had pyrokinesis.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name—which he is never called by—is Florence, to keep with the Location Theme Naming of the Erin children after locations in Italy.
- Ordinary High-School Student: Silver was just a regular teenager who had some weird Recurring Dreams. When Sonic's ghost and Shadow found him, his life entirely changed. For starters, his telekinesis was enabled by the presence of Sonic's ghost.
- Refusal of the Call: In issue 8, Silver quits being The Chosen One to seek the Chaos Emeralds and resumes normal life. This doesn't last for long.
- Running Gag: Silver never seems to be allowed proper pants when attempting to retrieve a Chaos Emerald.
- Ice cream is serious business.
- Skilled, but Naive: His powers are impressive. His combat experience? There's some work needed.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Silver spends the Scourge Arc walking around in nothing but yellow boxer shorts at first, and then a brown cloak. No one seems to question this.
Sonic the Hedgehog
"I don't like pants!"
Originally a world-renowned hero, after sacrificing himself to free Shadow from Dr. Eggman, he's a ghost still haunted by his past. Sonic suppresses 200 years worth of guilt for the disaster that led to the death of his closest friends, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy, and the scattering of the Chaos Emeralds through a myriad of alternate dimensions.
- Age-Gap Romance: This Tumblr post states he died at the age of 18, and he already has Ship Teases with Tikal, who died at the age of 14. (His original profile lists his age at death to be 16 and this 2013 profile lists it to be 17.)
- Beneath the Mask: Sonic keeps up his usual cheerful persona for the most part, but too many reminders of the people he's lost reveal that he's not handling his grief nearly as well as he claims.
- Better as Friends: According to this lore post, Sonic and Shadow, a ghost of a hedgehog and an immortal hedgehog, tried a romantic relationship once, but decided they were better off as same-gender life partners.
- Blue/Orange Contrast: He is blue and his best ghost friend, Tikal, is orange.
- Blood Knight: He becomes outright aggressive and willing to fight when Badniks show up, to the point where Tikal has to snap him out of it.
- Dark and Troubled Past: First of all, he's the product of G.U.N.'s manipulation of human women for their consent to bear Hybrids, including himself. Back when he was only identified by a government-issued ID and then by the name Nicholas ("Nicky" for short), he was bullied by others in the G.U.N.-run foster system for his then-rare Amazing Technicolor fur. As the result, he was The Quiet One and would often run away as far as he could. He only started to grow the carefree personality he's known for when he met Tails, who gave him the name Sonic.
- Demonic Possession: He can jump into the bodies of others and possess them, as seen with Silver and a brainwashed Shadow.
- Friendly Ghost: He's the ghost of a heroic hedgehog and is a friend of Shadow and Silver.
- Heartbroken Badass: It's been shown that the deaths of Tails and Amy in the past left some deep wounds that Sonic's still recovering from.
- Heroic Sacrifice: He gave his life to save Shadow, who in turn ended the threat of Eggman once and for all. Really, could Sonic have gone out any other way?
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: Definitely not heterosexual, as this post states that he had a romantic relationship with Shadow, but he's in a deeply close but platonic relationship with Shadow. Despite being opposites, their processing of trauma and guilt together brought them closer than ever. The Tumblr post which provides the citation for their former romantic relationship sums it up.Honestly GOTF Sonic and Shadow are closer than best friends, or even brothers… they’re soulmates (pun intended). They've shared the same space– mentally, emotionally, and physically– for centuries. Their strengths and weaknesses compliment [sic] each other, and neither of them could have done any of this without the other. Their connection is magnetic, [sic] and has been since the moment they met.
- Hidden Depths: Sonic is actually a musician who has greatly improved after 200 years, and his most of his music are real-life Crush 40 songs.
- Me's a Crowd: While not aware of this, his ghost can be perfectly duplicated infinite times. The first iteration is currently inside Metal Sonic and the second iteration is the one in charge of Sonic's place now.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Would you believe a ghost werehog? Ok, it's not really a werehog, more like a "corrupted-manifestation-of-gaia-induced fluffy state", but whatever.
- Our Ghosts Are Different: Sonic can do the usual stuff like turn invisible, fly through walls, and possess people. But he also gains jewelry for every Chaos Emerald the team finds and can unleash bursts of energy that completely dissipate Scourge's ghost-form temporarily.
- Stepford Smiler: He may retain his cheerful attitude when talking to Silver, but there's definitely a lot of sadness behind his old grin.
- Symbiotic Possession: Sonic’s spirit form has the power to do this, which comes in handy for countering Nicole’s nanites.
- Tomato in the Mirror: While Sonic's ghost thinks he's the real Sonic, Nicole states that his ghost is actually just a magical copy of the real Sonic.
Shadow the Hedgehog
The black and red Ultimate Lifeform that was created by the late professor Gerald Robotnik over 50 years ago. He eventually became one of Sonic's greatest rivals.
Tragically, Dr. Eggman forced him under his control and used him to kill Sonic and his closest friends. With Sonic's sacrifice he broke free and killed the evil scientist. For Shadow, the only way he can even begin to forgive himself is to aid Sonic and Silver in their quest to retrieve the Chaos Emeralds.
- The Ageless: Hasn't visibly aged a day since his creation, thanks to Nicole's nanites. Subverted, as he'll die of natural causes eventually.
- The Atoner: Shadow is trying to redeem himself ever since he killed Sonic and his best friends, even though it wasn't his fault at all.
- Better as Friends: According to this lore post, Sonic and Shadow, a ghost of a hedgehog and an immortal hedgehog, tried a romantic relationship once, but decided they were better off as same-gender life partners.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: When the story starts, he's under Dr. Eggman's control. And later NICOLE forces him under her control.
- Break the Badass: After he frees himself from Eggman's mind control and realizes he killed off Sonic and his friends, he goes into a Heroic BSoD which leaves him shivering in a Troubled Fetal Position, having a frozen face, and muttering to himself repeatedly.
- Closet Geek: When it comes to Dungeons & Dragons, "Shadow wouldn’t tell anyone but he’s immediately SUPER INVESTED and is secretly researching the shit out of the setting and gameplay to find the best way to keep everyone alive."
- The Comically Serious: Ice cream.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: Definitely not heterosexual, as this post states that he had a romantic relationship with Sonic, but he's in a deeply close but platonic relationship with Sonic. Despite being opposites, their processing of trauma and guilt together brought them closer than ever. The Tumblr post which provides the citation for their former romantic relationship sums it up.Honestly GOTF Sonic and Shadow are closer than best friends, or even brothers… they’re soulmates (pun intended). They’ve shared the same space– mentally, emotionally, and physically– for centuries. Their strengths and weaknesses compliment [sic] each other, and neither of them could have done any of this without the other. Their connection is magnetic, [sic] and has been since the moment they met.
- My God, What Have I Done?: He very much blames himself for the death of Sonic and his friends, even though he was under Dr. Eggman's control at the time.
- Really 700 Years Old: He's been around for 250 years, despite not appearing that much older than Silver or Sonic.
- Survivor's Guilt: He feels bad about being alive when everyone else he cared about is dead... the rest of Team Dark, in particular.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Prior to issue 16, he goes around wearing pants and boots, but no shirt.
- Troubled Fetal Position: After he's made to kill several of the heroes at the start of the comic, the Chaotix find Shadow like this. He's still in it, shaking with a frozen face and chattering to himself repetitively in guilt when Rouge and Omega come to collect him.
- Vanity License Plate: His Meteotech Black Shot 4 motorbike's license plate reads "CHAOS57".
Allies
Tikal the Echidna
- Age-Gap Romance: This Tumblr post states she died at the age of 14 and Sonic died at the age of 18. They are already established to have ship teases together. (His original profile lists his age at death to be 16 and this 2013 profile lists it to be 17.)
- Orange/Blue Contrast: She is orange and her best ghost friend, Sonic, is blue.
The "Group"
The "Group" as a whole
A group of Freedom Fighters, known as the New Chaotix, secretly battling Nicole and the corrupt G.U.N.
- The Remnant: After Sonic and his friends die, the few heroes left (Rouge, Omega, the Chaotix, and Big) form the New Chaotix to fight Nicole and G.U.N.
- Secret Legacy: Silver and his sisters' parents and Blaze's dad turn out to be following Sonic's legacy and secretly fighting evil.
Blaze the Cat
- Adaptation Origin Connection: It's hinted that Blaze and her father are descendants of Big the Cat in this continuity.
- Homeschooled Kids: Like Silver, she is homeschooled.
- Matricide: Blaze accidentally killed her mother, Cinder, and burned down their house when she was four, due to a bout of Power Incontinence. Her father didn't blame her, but Blaze certainly blames herself.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Her real name is Rachel, which nobody calls her. "Blaze" being a nickname is stated in her early bio, in which "Silver nicknamed her 'Blaze' in the first place because she always burns things when she tries to cook".
- Scars Are Forever: She gets three nasty scars across her face, courtesy of a NICOLE-controlled Metal Sonic.
- Ugly Guy Cute Daughter: She is a cutie, while her father looks a lot like Big, who looks
Ugly Cute at best.
Duke the Cat
Blaze the Cat's father.
- All There in the Script: His name is never mentioned in the comic, but is revealed in side material, such as this Tumblr post.
- Cool Old Guy: Duke is a Reasonable Authority Figure and a Boisterous Bruiser who gives Silver and Blaze a lot of good advice. He's also a member of the New Chaotix.
- Epic Flail: Duke wields a mace-and-chain attached to a fishing rod, implied to have been inherited from Big the Cat.
- Family Business: He runs a Chinese restaurant and Blaze the Cat, his daughter, works there, with Silver being the only unrelated employee on their staff.
- Identical Grandson: He's implied to be a descendant of Big the Cat and looks a lot like him, albeit with small, folded ears.
- Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: His wife and Blaze's mother, Cinder, was quite a looker compared to him, a nearly-identical descendant of Big, who looks mostly unattractive.
Richard and Deborah Erin
Silver, Vennie, and Sicily's parents, who are both hedgehogs.
- All There in the Script: Their names are never mentioned in the comic, but are mentioned in side material, such as this sketch.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Richard is pretty skilled with machines and pilots Big Foot mech he restored into battle.
- Hands-Off Parenting: As stated in Vennie's original profile, she homeschools her children and lets them grow up in their own ways.
- Humongous Mecha: Richard pilots a Big Foot mech at one point.
- In-Series Nickname: Richard is nicknamed "Artie" and Deborah is nicknamed "Ginger".
- A Lizard Named "Liz": The last name "Erin" is based on Erinaceinae, the hedgehog's Latin name.
- Our Werebeasts Are Different: Deborah is able to turn into a werehog at will thanks to a mysterious artifact she found years ago.
Venice "Vennie" the Hedgehog
Silver's little fraternal twin sister.
- Annoying Younger Sibling: She is initially annoying to her older siblings, having a Motor Mouth. "...she won't go away when you're trying to do homework, she can't keep a secret for more than ten minutes (and that's pushing it), she'll practically bite your head off for wearing a color she dosen't [sic] like—"
- Astral Projection: She is accidentally granted this power by Tikal. Her ghost can separate from her physical body, re-possess the body, and repeat.
- Barrier Warrior: Vennie is born with the power to create force fields so powerful that one serves Scourge's connection to his "Boss". Silver's own powers are able to supplement them.
- Break the Cutie: She's an adorable, loving being who is permanently disabled and unable to walk from being ambushed by Metal Sonic and Tikal's botched healing attempt and kidnapped and held hostage as a ghost by Scourge. Furthermore, she has to leave a reformed Scourge during his off-screen demise after she has befriended him.
- Cuddle Bug: "Vennie is adept at meeting new people and loves making friends. Usually though random hugging. It's a very good way to judge a person's character." She gives Silver a very big hug in her introduction.Sicily: Vennie, do you want to suffocate your brother before he's made it inside?Silver: (disoriented and gasping) *koff!* Talk about suffocating affection...
- Cute Ghost Girl: She's a cute little hedgehog girl, so her ghost definitely counts!
- Dream-Crushing Handicap: She had a dream of being an actress, participating in the local drama club and the plays of William Shakespeare. This is all ruined when she is severely injured by Metal Sonic and Tikal fails to fully heal her, which means she can never walk again.
- Fog Feet: Unlike other ghosts, her ghost has fog feet 24/7.
- Gamer Chick: "...Vennie's the biggest gamer of the cast", although "Both of [Silver's] sisters can destroy him [at Simulation Games and maybe Real-Time Strategy]." She can also be "a savant Smash Bros which drives Silver up the wall".
- Geek:
- She is a big theatre geek, wearing a top reading "Et tu?" in her introduction, quoting Shakespeare out-of-context, "been in more plays with the local drama group than she's had years", and is "the only thirteen-year-old in the state who can act out “A Midsummer Night's Dream” all by herself".
- She loves anime and manga. She has a "large and sparkly" manga collection. She also forces Silver to watch Magical Girl anime and likes to scream Anime Theme Songs randomly.
- She is a big theatre geek, wearing a top reading "Et tu?" in her introduction, quoting Shakespeare out-of-context, "been
- Genki Girl: "She's very bright and bubbly, and can't stay still, like she's on a constant sugar high. That is, if she likes you."note
- Girls Love Stuffed Animals: She has a few in her room to highlight her innocent nature.
- Homeschooled Kids: She, along with her older sister and brother, ais homeschooled.
- Nice Girl: She is stated in her original profile to be very kind to her friends.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Unlike other hedgehogs, her eyes are separated.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Silver's younger sister is named Venice, but the rest of the cast almost exclusively calls her “Vennie”.
- Outdoorsy Gal: "Vennie is more of an outdoorsy kid." Her original profile demonstrates that she likes to be outdoors a lot, barefoot.
- Prefers Going Barefoot: Venice is always seen barefoot. In the comic, she's only ever seen in her physical form at home or, later, a hospital bed, where it's not atypical, but her concept art and her profile note that she "likes to go barefoot" and that "[she] spends a lot of time outside, barefoot", respectively.
- Motor Mouth: Vennie talks non-stop. She stops doing it as much after becoming disabled, much to Silver's distress.
- Speaks in Shout-Outs: Issue 7 introduces her quoting Shakespeare regularly.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Averted, as she lacks eyelashes, which female Sonic characters usually have to denote they're female, to avoid making her face design, with already intensive eye markings, more complex and the fact that it's already clear Vennie's female.
Sicily "Sissy" the Hedgehog
Silver's older sister and the eldest of the three Erin siblings.
- Embarrassing Nickname: Never call her "Sissy" unless you want to get smacked.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Sicily is an aspiring engineer with a talent for repairs, which backfires horribly when she repairs an abandoned robot that turns out to be Metal Sonic. It seems she got the skills from her father.
- Gamer Chick: "Both of his [Silver's] sisters can destroy him [at Simulation Games and maybe Real-Time Strategy]."
- Homeschooled Kids: She, along with her older sister and brother, is homeschooled, up until college.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Sicily discovers and repairs a damaged Metal Sonic, mistakenly thinking he's just a normal, harmless robot. Nicole proceeds to take remote control of him and seriously injure Vennie before sending Metal after Silver.
- Robosexual: Sicily is in a romantic relationship with Metal Sonic.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Averted, as she lacks eyelashes, which female Sonic characters usually have to denote they're female, to avoid making her face design, with already intensive eye markings, more complex and the fact that it's already clear Sicily's female. Evan Stanley discusses this trope and the comic's usage of it in this Tumblr post:Gender-signifying symbols are way too damn powerful in character design, and people need to learn to use their heads a bit more; no eyelashes =/= instant boy. Don’t limit yourself like that.
Metal Sonic
- The Atoner: Metal Sonic is trying to redeem himself after freeing himself from Nicole's control, but no one but Sicily accepts that.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Metal Sonic insists that he would never willingly hurt Vennie and indeed, he only attacked her because Nicole forced him to. Though it's not clear if he's always held such standards or is just now developing them...
- The Friend Nobody Likes: With the exception of Sicily, none of them like or trust him since he's been a villain for most of his life and ambushed Vennie while under Nicole's control.
- Half the Man He Used to Be: Metal Sonic gets his lower waist smashed off by Silver's mom in Werehog form. Being a robot, he's more or less unharmed by it, but the team forbids Sicily from repairing him since they don't trust him.
- Reformed, but Rejected: Metal Sonic is trying to do a Heel–Face Turn, but all of the heroes except Sicily are not receptive to the idea.
- Token Evil Teammate: The heroes see Metal Sonic as a bad guy, even though he's genuinely trying to be a good guy now.
Antagonists
"G.U.N. Leader"
Nicole
An evil AI and the true leader of G.U.N.
- Adaptational Villainy: In the mainstream comics, she's a staunch ally of freedom. In this comic? She's the Big Bad.
- Adaptation Origin Connection: Nicole was created by Gerald Robotnik alongside Shadow and may have been indirectly responsible for Maria's death.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: An Artificial Intelligence who has turned for evil.
- Big Bad: All signs so far point to her as the primary culprit in the world's recent woes.
- The Corrupter: Placed Shadow under mind control. It's also implied that she's the one pulling the strings behind G.U.N. these days, having turned them into corrupt military police.
- Cute and Psycho: She may take the form of a cute lynx, but she's really vile.
- The Dreaded: Even Shadow fears her.
- Fangs Are Evil: She has way sharper and more noticeable fangs than her canon counterpart.
- Faux Affably Evil: She appears as friendly and approachable as her mainstream counterpart. But don't let that fool you — she's got a cruel streak matched only by her ruthlessness.
- Government Conspiracy: Nicole has infiltrated and taken over G.U.N., which now serves her sinister designs in secret instead of helping people.
- Kick the Dog: Nicole makes Metal Sonic savagely attack Vennie to the point she's permanently disabled, simply to silence a witness.
- The Man Behind the Man: She is directly responsible for Dr. Eggman gaining control over Shadow, which led to him killing Sonic and his best friends.
- Released to Elsewhere: In a flashback, Nicole claims that the Commander of G.U.N. has been "let go". It's very clear what she actually means by that.
Scourge
Once a dark reflection of Sonic, Scourge the Hedgehog now exists as an incorporeal spirit. Brought in by NICOLE to help deal with Sonic, the psychotic ghost-hog remains as sadistic and menacing as he ever was. The question is...how did Scourge become what he is today? And what other secrets lie behind his twisted grin?
- Ax-Crazy: He makes no effort to hide how much he enjoys tormenting his enemies.
- Body Horror: The weaker Scourge is, the more decayed and damaged his spirit looks. When he first appears, he's practically a skeleton, and he only gets his more familiar appearance after getting a power boost.
- Bolivian Army Ending: His last move is teaming up with Antique to perform a joint attack on his former master, a vastly powerful entity of darkness.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Issue 15 reveals this in the yellow-colored Monochrome Past. His girlfriend, Fiona, approached him when she found him all depressed. He slaps her, which causes her to run away from him. With the yellow ribbon she leaves, he then immediately regrets this and makes a Deal with the Devil, resulting in everyone being turned to stone and killed, including Fiona...
- Deadpan Snarker: "Scourge's default mode of communication is 'flirty wiseass'". In other words, he's a snarker who favors innuendo.
- Deal with the Devil: His newfound immortality and spirit powers came as part of a deal with... something.
- Dying Moment of Awesome: Scourge and Antique use a ton of Anarchy Beryl to attain their super forms, then fling themselves at Scourge's Eldritch Abomination boss to buy time for the heroes to escape Moebius. They're not shown dying, but it's all but explicitly stated they won't survive.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Scourge genuinely loved Fiona Fox and is wracked with remorse over the fact that she and everyone else on Moebius is dead because of him.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Scourge draws the line at outright hurting Vennie, though he is willing to hold her hostage to dissuade Sonic and company from attacking him.
- Flipping the Bird: Scourge gives the finger to Silver in his introduction in issue 10 and to his "boss" in issue 15.
- Ghastly Ghost: A ghost who appears as zombie/skeleton-like at first, serves as Sonic's Evil Counterpart, and is as menacing as ever. Subverted when he takes his Heel–Face Turn.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Scourge and Antique stay behind on Moebius to try and fight off Scourge's "boss", allowing the heroes to escape.
- Hidden Depths: Some events suggest that he's not in full control of his newfound existence, and is more frightened and miserable about the circumstances than his usual demeanor would suggest.
- Loincloth: He wears a skirt parted into two pieces and made out of what appears to be animal skins.
- The Lost Lenore: His newfound powers seem to have come at the cost of Fiona Fox's life. Saying that he's unhappy is an understatement.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Is filled with remorse over what he had done to Fiona and especially the Deal with the Devil which costed everyone including Fiona.
- Nightmare Face: He pulls a particularly nasty, skull-like one when he gets serious.
- Outside-Context Problem: He's from the Moebius of Archie Comics. The thing is, this comic takes place in a reality more faithful to the Sega games, meaning that Sonic and the others have no idea of what to expect from him at first.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: He hates Antique and Antique hates him back, unlike the friendly relationship their Good Counterparts have, "but they’re forced to work together because of their roles as spirit guardians."
- Unknown Rival: He is Sonic's Unknown Rival, due to the fact that Sonic has never encountered him before in this universe. Scourge meant to reach the Prime Zone, but ended up in this one by mistake.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Except in his super form, Scourge's ghost wears a loincloth-like skirt and nothing else on top.
- Would Hurt a Child: He has few qualms with threatening Venice, Silver's younger sister. Though recent events suggest that he's not beyond having second thoughts about it.
Antique (Anti-Tikal)
Tikal's Moebius counterpart.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Antique seems as kindhearted as her main universe self, but is really a ruthless Knight Templar who's willing to do anything to fight Scourge's "boss".
- Bolivian Army Ending: She teams up with Scourge to perform a joint attack on his former master, a vastly powerful entity of darkness, and it's unknown if she survived.
- Evil Counterpart: She is meant to be this to Tikal. While she is nice to the heroes, it is mostly to advance her own agenda.
- Knight Templar: She'll do anything to fight Scourge's "boss".
Scourge's Boss
A darker entity that Scourge serves. It's actually the Second Devourer from the Silver Age arc of Sonic Universe which Evan Stanley wrote.
- Eldritch Abomination: It's a massive being made of shadows that destroyed Moebius and is trying to reach the Prime Zone to destroy it to. Anything it touches is turned to stone and it takes two people in super form to fight it off even temporarily.
- Greater-Scope Villain: Nicole may be the Big Bad, but this Eldritch Abomination completely outclasses her.
- The Man Behind the Man: It's the main reason Scourge's current state in the comic.
- Taken for Granite: Anyone and anything that gets touched by it is turned instantly into stone. Rouge and Omega died this way at some point in the past.
