The Freedom Fighters


started as a band of
CLASSIC FREEDOM young and_ talented
FIGHTERS children hidden — in
_| the secret village of
*| Knothole. They were
inspired by the Original
Freedom Fighters
= | and carried on in their
hy stead. Their early
adventures were like
grand games, despite
being perilous at times.

Sonic the Hedgehog - A brash show-off who was more interested in


having fun than being a fighter, but who quickly learned the importance of
his friends and their mission.

Princess Sally Acorn - The crown princess and heir apparent to the
See Kingdom of Acorn. She was the leader from the start and the driving
force behind the team.

Antoine D’Coolette - With his family claimed by Dr. Robotnik’s coup d'état,
the jittery boy soldier had something to prove - to himself, to his friends,
and to his first crush (the princess).

Rotor “Boomer” Walrus - A budding inventor whose gadgets helped the


child warriors survive and escape many of their early perils.

(4\
Freedom Fighters remained the standard to which all other groups looked to for
over ten years. They fought to protect Knothole, later New Mobotropolis, and the
world at large from the Eggman Empire and other threats. The team was finally
broken by a series of tragedies, but gave rise to Team Freedom and Team Fighters.
Sonic the Hedgehog - As brash as ever, Sonic has grown into a true and noble
hero (despite the ego).
Miles “Tails” Prower - A junior member who has proved himself time and
again, earning his place as a full-fledged member.
Amy Rose - Like Tails, Amy has worked hard to prove her worth to the team.
Of all the members, she is the most recent official member.
Princess Sally Acorn - Despite having been called away on royal duty in the
past, Sally remains the active field leader.
Bunnie “Rabbot” D’Coolette - Half-roboticized by Dr. Robotnik and rescued by
Sonic, she uses her incredible bionic abilities to provide the team with a heavy-
hitter.
Antoine D’Coolette - His ego has been tamed, his skills refined, and his
cowardice put in check . . . mostly.
Nicole - Once a mentor only to Sally, Nicole’s growth in her abilities and range
have earned her an honorary
spot on the team.

Tragedy struck when Uncle Chuck was
captured by Dr. Robotnik’s forces and roboticized. From there, Sonic threw
his full support behind the Freedom Fighters and fought to liberate the kingdom.
Sonic playfully took on Dr. Robotnik’s first few generations of badniks, growing
in skill until, by his mid-teens, he was a true threat to Dr. Robotnik’s forces.

Sonic has always been at odds with his nature: arrogant on the
one hand, but unwavering in his heroism on the other. These traits
were what both endeared and frustrated his first love, Sally Acorn.

Sonic has become a beacon of hope for the world.


He’s traveled the globe, and even traversed

Startlingly intuitive at his very young age,
Miles latched onto the charismatic Sonic the Hedgehog and dreamed of
becoming a Freedom Fighter.

Miles earned the nickname “Tails” from his mutation: a pair of tails. While
these appendages could propel him nearly as fast as Sonic, Tails found himself
left behind by his would-be comrades. In an attempt to quickly rise into their
ranks, he ate the fruit from the Tree of Wisdom. He gained a brief period of
genius, and while most of it faded within a day, it did seem to bolster his already
considerable intuition.

Tails eventually earned his position among the Freedom Fighters as both a
warrior, like Sonic, but also as an inventor, like Rotor. Tails has many creations
to his name, namely the Tornado and later revisions of the Sea Fox, and has
filled Rotor’s role since the latter’s retirement from the team.

Tails’s long-estranged uncle, Merlin Prower, also guided him from behind the
scenes to discover much of his mystical potential. Tails has been enigmatically
entitled the “Chosen One,” the one prophesized to
bring about the “Great Harmony.” Tails believed he
had achieved this a couple times over, but his true ,
destiny has proven elusive.

Sally Alicia Acorn was | Tactical skills - An accomplished

She was raised as an only child
to the “widower” King Maximillian Acorn and wouldn't know
the fate of her mother and older brother until years later. Sally was
also raised and tutored by her royal mentor, Julayla Chipmunk,
and royal nursemaid, Rosie Woodchuck.

After Dr. Robotnik’s takeover, the young Sally dedicated herself to


the rescue of her father and her kingdom. Inspired by the Original

and would become Sally's mentor and friend
after the passing of Julayla. As Sally led the
Freedom Fighters to victory in the battle
against Dr. Robotnik, she regained her family
but faced a great deal of personal hardship.
Her life of guerrilla warfare conflicted with
the formalities of royalty. Torn between
the life she had and the one she thought
she wanted, Sally's spirit was strained. The
final blow came when her first love, Sonic the
Hedgehog, appeared to first give his life for
Mobius and then return from the dead. At
her most confused, she broke up with Sonic
to prevent further heartbreak for herself.

Eventually she recovered to her old


self, chose her role as the team’s
field leader and repaired her
damaged friendships. Just as life
returned to normal, Sally barely
skirted death after the effects
of the Genesis Wave. She
used her second chance at

Her sacrifice saved Mobius,

Sonic’s company. Her escort was captured
along the way and Amy was made bait in a trap to destroy Sonic in the Collision
Chaos Zone. Once rescued, Amy was welcomed into Knothole with open arms.

But a fiery spirit wasn’t enough to get her into the Freedom Fighters, nor was
it enough to gain Sonic’s romantic interests. In a desperate bid to get some
recognition, Amy used the Ring of Acorns - a magic ring forged from the energies
of a Super Chaos Emerald and of incredible potency. Amy believes she used the
ring’s final wish to make herself
older. In fact, she absorbed its
power and now unwittingly
enjoys some limited wish-

the creation of her Piko Piko
Hammer from thin air.

First Appearance:
Sonic the Hedgehog #0
Abilities:
Strength - Above-average strength.
Genius - A brilliant inventor who has
created vehicles and weaponry.

Rotor’s parents, Sherman = and


Georgette Walrus, came to Old
Mobotropolis for new opportunities
outside of the traditional Herd lifestyle.
What they didn't expect was the Great
f War. Rotor grew up listening to his
] ROTOR’S NANITE BATTLESUIT | father’s war stories and was inspired
ee by tales of the impressive machinery of
the war. However, his family would later be torn apart by Dr. Robotnik’s takeover.

Sherman fell in the initial resistance. Rotor’s mother (pregnant with his brother,
Skeeter], were lost in the chaos of escaping refugees. Rotor was among many
other children separated from their parents. He soon fell in with a group aiming to
stop Dr. Robotnik: the Freedom Fighters.

Rotor lent his inventor’s prowess to the team. But for every success he had some
kind of failure - often with explosive results. This, and his interest in heavy weapons,
earned him the nickname “Boomer.”

Rotor was a tenacious member of the team and one of Sonic the Hedgehog’s
best friends. He was eager to join the firefights, which seemed odd compared to
his otherwise gentle nature. His analytical thinking gained him a seat on both the
Knothole Council during the First Robotnik War and in the
Restoration Committee in its aftermath. He also played
a role in protecting his herd from Dr. Robotnik many
times.

During the year Sonic spent in space, however,


Rotor’s disposition shifted. His zeal for new bya
weaponry put many of his friends in harm's :
way. Ashamed, Rotor fell upon the kingdom’s
convention of shunning firearms, even to the
point of contradicting himself on his past
actions. He also took a less active role in
field operations.

During the destruction of Knothole,


Rotor rescued Tails from a
collapsing ceiling, but injured his
back in the process. He regained
most of his mobility but opted
to “retire” to a position on the

First Appearance:

| Abilities:
Swordsmanship - Excels with the use of his
saber.
Training - Antoine has limited but formal
military training from his father.
Pilot - A seasoned airplane and balloon pilot.

Antoine was born to Armand and Marie D’Coolette just before the Great
War. Armand had moved the family from Mercia to serve King Maximillian
Acorn, somewhat to Marie’s discontent. While Armand tried to raise his
son in the local language, Marie taught their native tongue. Amid the chaos
of the Great War, poor Antoine would be doomed to flub both languages.

Antoine was shaken by a stream of tragedy. His father led the first resistance
against Dr. Robotnik’s takeover and was lost. His mother fell terminally ill
shortly after, leaving Antoine orphaned in Knothole. Following in his father’s
footsteps for direction, he enlisted himself as a soldier in the Freedom Fighters.

Antoine tried to hide his inner doubt and jumpiness with swaggering bravado,
earning him endless heckling from Sonic the Hedgehog. His romantic advances
towards the princess were snubbed, which worsened his self-esteem. A break
came in the form of Bunnie Rabbot, who managed to see the scared but heroic
boy beneath the facade. She eventually helped Antoine ease into his true self.

Hardship would not leave Antoine alone, though. Armand was found alive as the
robian leader of Dr. Robotnik’s forces
in Mercia and eventually deroboticized.
Sadly, the love, recognition and family
Antoine had always hoped for were nearly
swept away by his evil twin, Patch from
Moebius, who impersonated him for
months. Thanks to Sonic, Antoine was
returned in time to save his relationship
with Bunnie, but was forced to watch
his father succumb to a fatal poisoning.

Antoine later
proposed to
Bunnie. The two
were wed in Knothole
City just days before it
was razed by Dr. Robotnik’s
forces. Some time later, Ixis
Naugus’s magic returned
Bunnie to normal, opening a
chance for them to start a
family. However, during one
of Dr. Eggman’s attacks,
Antoine made the ultimate
sacrifice to save Elias Acorn.
Antoine now lies in a coma.
First Appearance:
M Sonic the Hedgehog #3
Abilities:
Cybernetics -These feature many useful
tools, such as telescoping limbs, jet feet for
flying, a transforming arm cannon and energy
shield generator.
Martial Artist - Trained in judo.
Bunnie Rabbot (pronounced rah-BOH})
was born in the Southern Baronies just
before the Great War. Her parents died during the conflict. Bunnie was raised by
her Uncle Beauregard and Aunt Lulumae happily for many years. However, things
soured whenheruncle claimed her parents had died in service ofthe Overland dueto
long-standing tensions between the Southern Baronies and the Kingdom of Acorn.

Bunnie rejected the notion that her parents were traitors and ran away
from home, cobbling together a small farm on the edge of the kingdom's
borders. She was soon found and captured by a pair of SWAT Bots and put
into a portable roboticizer. Sonic the Hedgehog and Rotor Walrus came
to her rescue a moment too late; Bunnie was half-roboticized. Instead
of dwelling on this, Bunnie took to her new body well, even going so far as to
introduce herself with a pun off her family name (pronouncing it RAH-bot).

Bunnie bonded with Sally Acorn and quickly became one of the Freedom
Fighters. She provided friendship to Sally, ran hard-hitting missions with Sonic,
and managed to find the hidden hero within Antoine D’Coolette. While she put on
a brave face, she did hold out hope that she would one day be returned to normal.

But then her body began rejecting her


roboticized parts. She could accept
an upgrade designed by Dr. Quack
and Nate Morgan, but it would ensure
she would never be derobotocized.
With Antoine’s love and support, she
committed to her cyborg life. That love
was later tested when Patch of Moebius
posed as Antoine and actively tried to
ruin the romance. Bunnie was shaken,
and made a few questionable choices,
but rebounded when Sonic managed
to rescue Antoine from Moebius.

When Bunnie’s cybernetics


were accidentally crystallized
by Ixis Naugus’s magic,
he attempted to undo the
damage -~ miraculously

Originally just a handheld computer, Nicole was often cold


and literal in her ways. Sonic the Hedgehog’s constant quips
and wit awakened a bit of life in the artificial intelligence.
She eventually grew to be more than Sally's confidante and
became a dear friend.
HANDHELD
During the Second Robotnik War, Rotor tried to unlock
Nicole’s inner secrets which accidentally swapped her
consciousness with Sally's. Although the swap was brief, the taste of real life had
a lasting impact on Nicole. She experimented with her power output and managed
to create an artificial body for a brief time. Unfortunately, her handheld design
could not support this form for long.

A blessing in disguise came from Dr. Robotnik’s nanites, controlled


by Anonymous. After Anonymous’s plot failed, Nicole
took control of the empty nanite city he
had created and reshaped it into the lost
city of Mobotropolis. Not only did she
return her friends’ long-lost homes, but the
city housed enough hologram and energy
projectors to allow her to live as a Mobian.
The only drawback was that the
immense power demand
requires her to vanish if the
city needs protection or her
undivided attention.

to commit to a team initially - especially
Knuckles - but time and necessity
eventually had them unite under the

injuries) and Saffron provide aerial
support. Ray is a junior member
of the team, often working with
Charmy and Saffron, while training
to be a full Chaotix member.

While originally thrown together


by circumstances, the Chaotix
have developed into a tight team
of close friends. While their
team’s focus varies - from
sentries to a strike team
to detectives - they have
the variety of skills to back
it up. While they will gladly

Knuckles was raised in Guardian tradition by his father in the wilds of Angel Island
and then left to fend for himself while still young. Knuckles learned self-reliance while
his forefathers monitored his progress, sometimes lending him a_ hidden hand.
Despite the Brotherhood’s neutrality, Knuckles joined in the First Robotnik War.
The mysteries around his life began to unravel when the effects of the Ultimate
Annihilator returned both the Dark Legion and the city of Echidnaopolis to Angel
Island. Knuckles was exposed to a family and heritage he never knew he had. As
Knuckles’ prowess grew in facing his new challenges, so did his Chaos powers.

Knuckles’ powers soon grew beyond control. He began to glow green and gained god-like
abilities, but had little to no control. The transformation culminated when Knuckles was
forced to fight Mammoth Mogul in an effort to rescue Knuckles’ distant ancestor and
old foe Dimitri. Knuckles released all of his power to stop Mogul and died in the process.
Knuckles joined the Chaos Force to a degree even the Ancient Walkers had
not reached. However, with his cosmic awareness, he sensed
the Xorda Invasion of Mobius. Using his unlimited power,
Knuckles returned to life - but sacrificed his “living
Chaos Emerald” quality. For a time, Knuckles
was weak and powerless. Only by enduring the
energies of the Master Emerald was he
able to reawaken his connection with the
Chaos Force and regain his unique skills.

This connection was later abused by


Dr. Finitevus, who used dark magic to
transform Knuckles into Enerjak. As
Enerjak, Knuckles made sweeping
changes to Angel Island and the
world. He was restored, but at the
cost of Locke’s life. After everything
that’s happened to him and his
people, Knuckles is somewhat
withdrawn from almost everyone
except the Chaotix and his
partner, Julie-Su. He still remains
devoted to his duties as Guardian.

with her older half-siblings Kragok and
Lien-Da. She was still very young when her mother died in a tragic accident.
Luger, who saw himself as a poor parent and too involved with running the
Dark Legion, passed her on into the foster care of his chief advisor, Simon,
and his wife, Floren-Ca. Shortly after her adoption, Luger vanished - secretly
assassinated by his first two children. In an attempt to keep Julie-Su out of
their affairs, they had a memory-neutralizing chip in her brain activated, erasing
her memory of her true parents. Despite being raised by Simon and Floren-Ca,
Kragok eventually decided even that much of a connection was too dangerous
to his goals and had her memory erased again. Julie-Su “rejoined” the Dark
Legion with no memory of her past and, consequently, little initiative to follow
the doctrine of the group.

When the Dark Legion returned to Angel Island under Grandmaster Kragok,
Julie-Su took the first opportunity to escape and sought out Knuckles, driven
by the “Soultouch” - an intrinsic drive to find one’s perfect
mate. She and Knuckles clashed violently at first, but
eventually grew to respect each
other. That respect grew into
a_ friendship, which eventually
blossomed into romance. Julie-Su
would eventually find Simon, who
would fill in the gaps in her memory.
Sadly, Julie-Su’s time with her foster
parents was short-lived. When Dr.
Robotnik conquered Angel Island,
he captured a vast majority of the
echidnas on the island and subjected
them to his Egg Grapes. This included
Simon and Floren-Ca.

Julie-Su is committed to protecting


the last handful of her people, but
is often frustrated by Knuckles’
friendship. While their
hard-headedness and hot
tempers often lead them to

CLASSIC VECTOR attempted to hide his heritage by masking his accent
with an over-eager attempt at “street lingo.” This would
eventually give way to a more natural way of talking.

Vector was the first of the Chaotix to meet Julie-Su, who promptly
kicked his butt. Ever since then the
two of them have had a long-running
hostility - both personally, and for
Knuckles’ attention. This isn’t helped
by Vector’s tendency to hold a grudge.

of his secretive clan in the heart
of the Dragon Kingdom, learning to be a ninja. While still young, he received
his long-term assignment: to monitor the next Guardian of Angel Island.

Espio was moved to Rainbow Valley on Angel Island and integrated with the
local chameleons by his friend and mentor Valdez. Valdez had been tasked with
monitoring Locke and so instructed Espio on how to observe Knuckles. For a
long time, Espio watched from the shadows and stayed true to his training. When
Dr. Robotnik captured the Freedom Fighters on the island and left Knuckles
powerless, Espio took the opportunity to befriend Knuckles as an ally and win his
trust.

What Espio didn’t expect was to actually become friends


with Knuckles and the rest of the Chaotix. Despite
his pragmatic and stand-offish attitude, he became
especially close friends with Charmy. For a time,
Espio would forget about his duties and act
only as one of the Chaotix. He was sharply
reminded of his duties, however, when he
was forced to confront a roboticized and
evil Valdez to save the residents of Rainbow
Valley and Angel Island as a whole. Espio
dueled his former mentor and was
forced to send him to a watery grave.

Espio’s past would come to haunt


him again when the Iron Queen
conquered the four ninja clans of the
Dragon Kingdom and became the
Bride of Four Houses. Espio was
honor-bound to serve the villainess
and was brought into direct
conflict with both the Freedom
Fighters and Chaotix. Despite
this, he bent the rules and
revealed choice information
that helped both free his
clan and New Mobotropolis.
Espio returned to the Chaotix,
exposing the secrets he had
long held. While the trust
will take time to rebuild, he
found his friends willing to
risk renewing their friendship.
Mighty was born to a pair of thieves in Mercia well before Dr. Robotnik’s conquest
in the region. While his parents were loving, they were still criminals, and were
eventually caught. A distraught little Mighty was found by Mammoth Mogul, who
granted Mighty incredible strength in return for a “favor” in the future. Mighty
would not remember this bargain, would not be able to rescue his family, and
would end up being exiled for his unnatural strength. In his journey for a new home,
he was captured by Dr. Robotnik’s forces along with many others and sent to a
Power Gem mine. There he met Ray, a young Fiona Fox, and a young Sonic the
Hedgehog. Sonic led a breakout of the prison camp, but in the fracas, Ray was
lost to a strange zone under uncertain circumstances. Mighty and Sonic parted
ways, with Mighty eventually making his way to Angel Island thanks to a young
Knuckles the Echidna and Vector the Crocodile. Mighty lived in peace until Dr.
Robotnik’s influence reached Angel Island.. Mighty became one of the first Chaotix,
lending his incredible strength to the team. He was later conscripted by the
treasure hunter Nic the Weasel and an embittered Fiona into searching for a
rare gem. When they located it, they found Ray holding onto it. The gem’s strange
properties had kept Ray from aging - years had been seconds
to him. Mighty rescued his long-lost friend and took him in.

The two quickly bonded as brothers. While usually


having a sunny disposition, Ray deals with a
stutter. Although he’s gained some control over
it, it flares up considerably when he is under
stress. He’s found stability from Mighty’s gentle,
caring and supportive nature. Mogul’s “favor”
eventually came due, and Mighty was forced
to fight Sonic alongside a likewise brainwashed
Mina Mongoose and Tails. Mogul eventually
got what he wanted - the Grey Chaos Emerald
- and Mighty was released from his control.
Later, when Espio revealed that Miighty’s
longlost sister was alive somewhere,
Mighty decided to go searching for her.
Ray, ever loyal to his “big brother,”
elected to travel with him. The two
are currently abroad in their search.

Charmy was born the crown prince of the Golden Hive Colony and Lady Saffron
was his betrothed. Charmy, however, was not ready for the responsibilities of
a young adult and fled his homeland. He eventually escaped to Angel Island,
telling only Mello - his best friend - of where he was staying. Charmy carried
on a carefree life, happily meeting and befriending the mobians that would
eventually become the Chaotix. His persistent, cheery nature even won over the
stand-offish Espio the Chameleon. For a long time, Charmy was the cheerful (if
sometimes annoying) optimist of the group. Tragedy came when he and Mello
became victims of a food poisoning plot run by the Mobian Underworld, which had
secretly taken control of the Happy Land Amusement Park. Charmy survived
the incident, but Mello did not. Charmy saw to it that his friend was returned
home and decided to resume his place as prince of the Golden Hive Colony.

He and Saffron grew closer and were engaged during his stay at home. The
two of them were forced to flee to Knothole City, however, when the Eggman
Empire invaded and conquered their homeland. Charmy returned to the Chaotix,
this time with Saffron, and together they resumed the fight against Dr. Robotnik;
this would not be without consequence. They were among the many captured
during Knothole’s destruction. To illustrate the effects of his Egg Grapes, Dr.
Robotnik randomly selected Charmy as demonstration. Sonic the Hedgehog
arrived in time to save Charmy’s life, but the damage was done - his memories
were scrambled and mind made child-like. As he recovered, Charmy showed the
same cheerful and supportive nature which he was known for, but without the
understanding of who he was or where he came from. Charmy remains a member
of the Chaotix under the watchful eye of Saffron and Espio. Saffron was a humble
girl of moderate standing. Sweet and >
sunny, she was as sheltered and naive
as it came until Charmy returned home.
Actually getting to know the adventure-
savwy Charmy opened her eyes to a
new world of excitement and she gladly
joined him on his journeys - both before
and after the fall of the Golden Hive
Colony. Now, Saffron sees herself as
the caretaker of her kingdom's last
chance at rebirth, and is dedicated to
seeing her love returned to normal.

The Acorn line has served as the ruling family of Mobotropolis and most of the
western world for almost three hundred years. To date there has never been a
queen born to the line, with Sally Acorn being the first female heir.

The Kingdom of Acorn once held the largest concentration and variety of Mobian
races on the planet and rivaled the Overland in overall size. Because of the
Acorn kings’ influence, it was often said that they ruled the world, although this
was an exaggeration. The last Acorn to hold power was King Elias, who presided
over the first Council of Acorn and transformed the kingdom into a republic. The
republic’s holdings are significantly smaller than those of the kingdom’s peak,
but they remain the largest Mobian population of any civilization on Mobius.

King Alexander The first of the Acorn kings and founder of (Old)

King Elias Elias was raised on Angel Island and almost dropped his title
Acorn in favor of being a commoner. He saw the fall of Knothole and

will last beyond this young king.
MAXIMILLIAN First Appearances:

BRALICIAYACORNE King Maximillian: Sonic the Hedgehog #36


Queen Alicia: Sonic the Hedgehog #58

Maximillian Acorn was born to King Fredric Acorn


at the height of the Kingdom of Acorn’s power. He grew up traditionally: bonded with
the Source of All at ten years old, betrothed at eleven, and wed by eighteen. When he
succeeded his father he was bestowed the Sword and Crown of Acorns, crafted from
the Source that had bonded with him. Maximillian’s time as king was short and brutal.
Tensions with the Overland quickly exploded into war. Mobotropolis fell to the invaders,
leaving Maximillian to command guerrilla tactics from the sewers. A break came in the
form of the Overlander traitor Julian Kintobor. Recalling his former tutor, Nate Morgan,
Maximillian readily took Julian in and made him Warlord. Julian's tactics ultimately saw the
fate of the war decided in a sword duel between Maximillian and Overlord Charlemagne.
Maximillian won and showed great mercy upon the aggressors. But there was no mercy
when Julian took on the name of Dr. Ivo Robotnik and captured the city from within.
Maximillian was exiled to the Zone of Silence where the nightmarish landscape and vicious
residents nearly drove him insane. The natives brought him to their master: Ixis Naugus.
Without any other choice, Maximillian swore fealty to Naugus in return of an organic-crystal
body that could endure the zone. Maximillian eventually forgot who he was.

Years later, Princess Sally Acorn led a rescue mission that returned him home, but without
Naugus’s magic, Maximillian suffered uncontrolled crystallization. Thanks to the Freedom
Fighters and Chaotix he was later reunited with his sword and crown and healed by their
magical bond. Once restored, Maximillian attempted to rebuild his kingdom and family
as they would have been. But the world had changed, and his efforts drove his children
away. His old tactics led to him being temporarily paralyzed from the waist down. Once he
had nearly recovered, his obstinacy left him prone to a poisoning from Patch D’Coolette.
While the powers of a Chaos Emerald saved him from the brink of death, the damage had
been done. Maximillian is a shadow of his
former self, but still resolved to restore his
kingdom to the old ways.

Alicia was a noblewoman born and bred


to join the Acorn lineage. Quiet and kind,
she readily gives herself wholly to her
duties as queen and wife to Maximillian.
During the Great War, she escaped the
Overlander invasion with Elias Acorn only
to be shot down over Angel Island. There
she was kept in suspended animation by
the Brotherhood of Guardians until
recovered by Geoffrey St. John and
his team. She was later revived by
an experimental nanite solution that
was created by Dr. Robotnik and
stolen by Elias. Since then she has
watched the world change around
her, steadfastly looking after her
husband while trying to get to
know the children whose lives
she’s missed.

Elias Acorn was the firstborn of King
Maximillian and Queen Alicia Acorn. He was
rushed to safety as the Overland invaded Mobotropolis during the Great War.
The shuttle bearing Elias and his mother was shot down over Angel Island,
where they were rescued by the Brotherhood of

survivors of the crash: Col. George Sommersby and
his wife, Martha. They were allowed to maintain the

Elias returned to Mobotropolis where his father hoped to groom him


as his successor. Elias chafed under royal life and the directions of Maximillian
and Geoffrey. He ultimately ran away to Feral Forest where he met Meg. Elias
found in her a partner and a reason to settle his wandering ways. Elias later
reconciled with his family, but remained in Feral Forest, and became the father
of Meg’s daughter, Alexis. Things changed when Patch D’Coolette’s plans for
kinghood forced Elias to reclaim his title to save Sally from a cruel fate. Elias
became the next King Acorn, only to witness the destruction of Knothole and
a revolt that nearly became civil war.

Then came Ixis Naugus and his claim to the throne. Due to
the circumstances, Elias stepped down to prevent turmoil
in the city. However, from there he
contacted Harvey Who and
formed the Secret Freedom
Fighters to keep Naugus in
check.

Megan, “Meg” for short, was


born and raised in Feral Forest
and lost her first husband to
Dr. Eggman’s forces. She has
done her best to endure the
drastic changes in her once
simple life. She is Elias’s
anchor to reality - a calm

her, Meg thinks New
Mobotropolis could be the
best place to raise her little

The other was the Rebel Underground, a covert operations cell planned by
Armand D’Coolette shortly after the end of the Great War. Geoffrey St. John
stole the plans and used them to rally forces on the west coast before operating
in the heartland.

After the First Robotnik War, the Spy Network and Rebel Underground became the

Dr. Horatio Quentin Quack comes from a long line
of doctors and is an especially brilliant addition
to the family line. What he lacks sometimes,
however, is a proper bedside manner and is
oftentimes so caught up in his work he forgets
he’s working with living beings. Dr. Quack is the
royal physician as well as the lead doctor at the
Tommy Turtle Memorial Hospital. Dr. Quack is
always willing and eager to try new, experimental
and outlandish technology in the name of greater
healing, although tt has come back to haunt him.

Itwas his Electro-Encellographic Memory Inducer, or “Dream Watcher,”


that allowed Dr. Ivo Robotnik to locate Knothole at the end of the First
Robotnik War. Dr. Quack was forced to take part in a ruse that painted
Sonic the Hedgehog as the murderer of Sally Acorn. Dr. Quack
cooperated to protect his family but secretly managed
to keep the comatose princess safe from
the villains. Much later, during the
early days of the Second Robotnik
War, Dr. Quack was injured by a
landmine’s shrapnel. The explosion
cost him an eye and his full mobility,
keeping him dependent on a
cane. Dr. Quack is married to his
plucky, upbeat wife Elizabeth.
They have two young sons,

FAMILY,
_ Bernadette Hedgehog: Sonic Super Special #2
Sir Charles Hedgehog: Sonic the Hedgehog #0

Jules Hedgehog was once the opposite of his brother: a loud-


mouthed risk taker who was a bit on the dense side. He was
also courageous and caring. It was these qualities that caught
the eye of his former classmate and comrade during the Great
War, Bernadette Hedgehog. Jules would accompany the more
capable “Bernie” on reconnaissance and demolition missions,
hounding her for a date. She eventually gave in, quickly stumbled
into love, and the two were wed on the battlefield. Charles
Hedgehog, meanwhile, was the quiet and brilliant brother to "
Jules. A genius in robotics and bio-technology, he also could ©JULES SUCCUMBS
whip up a mean chilidog. Charles was one of Nate Morgan’s | TO OVERLANDER
best students and knighted young for his contributions to the ATTACK
kingdom.

Very shortly after the birth of Sonic the Hedgehog, Jules


was gravely injured. As peace returned to Mobotropolis,
Sir Charles threw himself into developing a new type of
medical technology - the roboticizer. Jules was the first test
subject and, while his life was saved, he was turned into the
first Robian. Bernie investigated Julian Kintobor’s use of
Jules only to be roboticized herself, with her transformation
dubbed an accident. Sir Charles, mortified that his invention
had ruined his family, abandoned the project to Julian and
took to raising Sonic and running a chilidog stand. After Dr. Robotnik’s conquest,
Sir Charles moved the stand on the outskirts of Old Mobotropolis to provide food
to the refugees. As Dr. Robotnik’s control of the region tightened, Charles was
arrested by SWAT Bots under pretense and he
was roboticized. Sonic made numerous efforts
to rescue his beloved uncle, who regained his — ——

her father, Arthur, to the Great War and her Robian mother,
Isabella, to Dr. lvo “Eggman” Robotnik. She first met Sonic the Hedgehog while
trying to rescue her recently captured mother. This was shortly after she had been
visited by the magical projection of Mammoth Mogul, who gifted her with Sonic-like
speed. Mina was almost immediately smitten with Sonic - a fact Mogul foresaw and
planned to one day capitalize on. Mina pursued Sonic’s attention,
TL even going so far as a misguided attempt to join the Freedom
oa Fighters. While she made an effort and proved to have potential,
ON she locked up in the heat of combat and nearly died. Realizing her

mission to retrieve Sally Acorn from Nack the Weasel. During
the mission, Mina realized she’d been oblivious to Sonic’s feelings

Mina with her

a troubled soul who had not adjusted well to the turmoil of the
Robotnik Wars and found comfort in Mina’s music. She unlocked a softer side to him,
and he soon became both her boyfriend and her band’s manager. Mina’s bargain
with Mogul eventually returned to haunt her when she was used as a pawn in his
bid to regain a Chaos Emerald. Under complete mind-control, her life was put in
danger to coerce Sonic. With his demands met, Mogul freed Mina of her magical
bond, yet she retained her super-speed. Shortly after, Mina reformed her band with
new members and rechristened them as the Forget-Me-Knots in remembrance of
Knothole’s destruction. Mina continues to be the lead singer of her band, hoping to
inspire people with her music, and earning world-wide acclaim.

| Abilities:
Flight - Cream can fly and glide with
her massive ears.
Cheese - Cheese is a chao of
incredible power, rumored to be on |
his forth or fifth evolution cycle.

Cream the Rabbit lived with her mother, Vanilla, on their plantation in the
Southern Baronies. There they watched over one of the largest Chao
Gardens on Mobius and helped the tiny chao grow and prosper. When
Knothole was destroyed, they took in all the chao who evacuated the
Lake of Rings Chao Garden. The Eggman Empire was drawn to their
plantation, mistaking all the chao for some kind of mystical energy deposit.
Amy Rose came to their rescue. While the chao and the Rabbit Family
were saved, their plantation and the Chao Garden were ruined.
Vanilla and Cream accepted Amy’s offer to move themselves
and the chao to the safety of New Mobotropolis and re-
establish the Chao Garden around the new Lake of Rings.

Cream is a very sweet, earnest girl. She aspires to be a


“proper lady” like her well-mannered mother, but beneath
the prim and proper mannerisms beats the heart of a
hero - as Cream discovered when she witnessed Amy’s
own heroism. While getting mussed up in a fight isn’t
“proper,” Cream is deeply devoted to being helpful and
protecting others. To that end, she has joined Team
Freedom as a junior member. She sees Amy as a
mentor of sorts, although she’s also inclined to try
to teach Amy to be a bit more ladylike. Cream is
always accompanied by her dear friend Cheese,
a chao in a red bow tie. Inspired by his young
friend, Cheese is as devoted to protecting
Cream as she is to the rest of his kind.
Cheese’s “brother,” Chocola, is far less
adventurous and prefers to stick to the
anonymity of the Chao Garden.

Vanilla is a very proper lady who


has had some misgivings with
Cream getting involved in
dangerous adventures
or serving with Team
Freedom. She's slowly
growing accustomed to
the ever-exciting life in
New Mobotropolis.
First Appearance:
Sonic’s Friendly Nemesis: Knuckles #3

Locke was born to Guardian Sabre and


Jenna-Lu in Echidnaopolis while it still
existed in a pocket dimension. He was
raised in the traditional fashion and
only learned the truth of his lineage
and Echidnaopolis when he was a
young man. Locke was a devoted
student of the traditional
teachings and _ echidna LOCKE & LARA-
history. His rigid life of LE WITH THEIR
training, learning and NEWBORN BABY
guarding was_ broken BOY, KNUCKLES
2 pn only when he met the
LOCKE'S CLASSIC lovely and tenacious Lara-Le, a woman of high society.
“BROTHERHOOD”ATTIRE Shortly after they were wed, Locke received a dire vision
of his son-to-be in a struggle against a horrible evil, and
so devoted himself to preparing his future son for his trials. He
experimented with his own DNA, and once Lara-Le laid their
son's egg, he bathed it in energy directly from a Chaos
Emerald. The result was Knuckles the Echidna.
This, and Locke’s insistence on raising Knuckles in
Guardian tradition, drove him and Lara-Le apart.

Locke raised Knuckles as he had been raised, but as


he watched and aided Knuckles in his unique struggles
from afar, he began to doubt the secretive ways of the
Brotherhood. Eventually he revealed all to Knuckles
once they were reunited.

The change in heart was_ short-lived.


When Dr. lwo “Eggman” Robotnik
invaded Angel Island during the Second
Robotnik War, the Brotherhood was
apparently wiped out and Echidnaopolis
burned to the ground. Locke fell back
on his teachings took on a rustic, tribal
outlook in an attempt to protect what
was left of his people. As his situation
grew more dire, so did he, and he began
making choices he would not have
considered years ago.

Locke’s work to protect his son


backfired when Dr. Finitevus
used Knuckles’ innate power
to awaken Enerjak. When he
learned the nature of the spell
placed upon his son, Locke
sacrificed himself to break the
hex upon the Master Emerald.
By rescuing his son, he freed
him of the destiny he had pushed
upon him. 35

Knucklesthe Echidna was bornto Guardian
Locke and Lady Lara-Le in the city of Echidnaopolis while the
city still existed within its own pocket dimension. Knuckles
never knew this urban life, however, as Locke took him to
Angel Island for his traditional Guardian upbringing at a very
young age. Lara-Le was left behind with no say in the matter.
This, and Locke’s refusal to budge on the matter, ultimately
broke them apart. Despite being the only partner to divorce
her Guardian, Lara-Le maintained her station within the high
society of Echidnaopolis.

Lara-Le eventually met Wynmacher, another well-


to-do echidna and former varsity athlete. While
not as rugged or worldly as Locke, Wynmacher
was a romantic and deeply sympathized with Lara-
Le’s ordeal. He courted her and the two fell in
love, but resolved to wait on making any serious
commitments until Lara-Le could be reunited
Lee with her son. The time came sooner than anyone
LARA-LE & WYNMACHER expected as the effects of the Ultimate Annihilator
thrust Echidnaopolis back into the Prime Zone and
pale Une one back onto Angel Island. Knuckles had difficulty
adjusting to a life and family he had no memory of,
but came to accept each element in time. Shortly after returning
to Angel Island, Lara-Le and Wynmacher were
wed. Within a year, Lara-Le gave birth to
Knecapeon Mace.

Then everything changed. The loss of


their city and the Brotherhood drove
Locke to a ruthlessness that nearly
doomed him, and he made the ultimate
sacrifice to save Knuckles. After the

ECHIDNA CIVILIZATIONS:

The once-thriving city of Echidnaopolis was [F{-yeyq Tue Qrweces


predated hundreds of years by the First First Appearance: Knuckles the
Downunda Colony. Founded by Albion scientists Echidna #4
during the Forgotten Wars, the First Colony was
devoted to researching means to combat the Order of Ixis. V OUARE
Terrible actions were taken in the name of the “greater good,” HERE}
and once these were discovered, the colony was destroyed
and the culprits punished. The second expedition set out to
establish a new colony much later. It briefly settled in Soumerca
where it lost the militaristic caste, the Knuckles Clan, and
the high-tech caste, the Nocturnus Clan. These clans went
to war with each other and the indigenous Felidae of the Pais
Misterioso (or “Mysterious Cat Country”). The expedition left aS
the warmongers behind and went on to the site in Downunda. ANGEL ISLAND
This time they established the city of Echidnaopolis, a brilliant
reminder of Albion. Even as it was beset by local Dingo tribes, the city remained a beacon of
civilization in an otherwise untamed land. Then, some 600 years ago, the Great White Comet
threatened to annihilate the city. A plan was launched to save the city which would ultimately
give rise to Angel Island. Hundreds of years later another catastrophic threat loomed as
the Dingoes launched a nuclear assault at the city. While the missiles were destroyed, the
nuclear fallout threatened all life on the island. Guardian Hawking built the Hyper Zone
Projector to move Echidnaopolis and each of the other small habitations to separate pocket
dimensions. Each society existed in peace until the effects of the Ultimate Annihilator forced
Echidnaoplis back into the Prime Zone and onto Angel Island. In the process, it destroyed the
dingo city of Cave Canem. Echidnaopolis changed little over the years. It saw some scaling
back of its technology beginning with Guardian Edmund, though while the
city was set in its own dimension, this was somewhat reversed out of
necessity. With the destruction of Cave Canem, the
dingoes were forced to live with their enemies and
largely became a servant class. This all changed

ECHIDNA CIVILIZATIONS:
First Appearance:
| Knuckles the Echidna #12
Albion, which resides off the coast of Mercia, is the homeland of all echidnas. Long
after the Gene Bombs ravaged Earth, and thousands of years after the extinction of the
mobosaurs and the Coming of the Chaos Emeralds, the echidnas emerged as the most
rapidly evolving species on Mobius. While most other species were still living in feral
packs, the echidnas had mastered the long-lost arts of language and organized society.
Seeing themselves as superior and among savages, the echidnas secluded themselves
on a small island and built their utopia of Albion. They hid their civilization from the world
and steadily advanced among themselves, caring little for the events of the world at
large. The Albionites governed themselves by a council of six appointed leaders, including
the High Councilor who presided over them. By the time most of Mobius was in basic
tribal set-ups, the echidnas were perfecting space travel and investigating the secrets of
Chaos Energy. The only notable effort made by the Albionites to protect Mobius
came when the threat of the Order of Ixis promised to -
plunge the world into darkness. The Templar Knights
of Aurora, armed with the latest technology, battled
the elemental mages. Science and magic were equally
matched, and the battles ravaged the world and gave
rise to many terrible things. Ultimately, the destruction
proved so rampant that there was nothing left to detail I. f\-— i
the events. The Order of Ixis was basically extinct, and | pp. Finitevus&the Egat :
the Albionites returned to seclusion. This period became Empire ravage Albion
known as the Forgotten Wars. After thousands of years
of isolation, disaster struck. One of Albion’s own, the now-altered Dr. Finitevus, gave the
Eggman Empire direct access to the city. Albion, having lived in peace for hundreds of
years, was caught totally off guard. The fighting for the city was vicious. The Eggman Empire
left only rubble, and almost all the citizens died in the Egg Grapes. Thanks to the actions
of the fourth Enerjak, however, the city hosts some life: the survivors of Echidnaopolis
and a large number of former Dark Legionnaires that were returned to their homeland.
Equipped with only what they can scavenge from the ruins, these last few echidnas workto

First Appearance:
Knuckles the Echidna #4

Remington was born to Grandmaster Kragok and Eli-Za within the


Twilight Cage (or Zone). Like all youth born into the Dark Legion,
Remington had a memory neutralizing chip implanted in his brain
shortly after birth. He was to follow in the family tradition and one
day become Grandmaster of the Legion and continue the blood feud
with the Brotherhood of Guardians. Eli-Za planned for something
different. She had been selected by Kragok and was wise enough
. to agree to the terms of the madman. As she was let into the inner
ALBION EST workings of the Legion, she got to know Kragok’s sister, Lien-Da, and
REMINGTON found her to be equally ruthless. Remington meant Lien-Da would
rise no higher than Kommissar, and that put Eli-Za’s baby in danger.

Eli-Za used pirated Marauder technology to teleport herself and Remington back to the
Prime Zone, appearing to have been vaporized. She was intercepted by the Brotherhood
and pleaded her case, providing what information she could in exchange for being integrated
into Echidnaopolis. With the use of their memory neutralizing chips, mother and child awoke
in the city as “poor anmesiacs” and found their places in society; thus Remington was raised
without any knowledge of his origin. He was naturally driven to provide law and order, and
so he entered into training with the Echidna Security Team. Studious and committed, he
rose through the ranks until he became the protégé of the brilliant team leader, Constable
Holmes. After Holmes retired, it came as no surprise to anyone that Remington was named
his successor. Remington enforced peace with unwavering fairness, even when the echidnas’
enemies, the Dingos, were forced to live among them. He showed a deep respect for
the Brotherhood, and even came to worship Knuckles the
Echidna when he returned from the dead and was dubbed
the “Avatar” by his people. He personally led the resistance
against the Eggman Empire’s invasion, and as such was
the prime target for capture and torture by the Dingo
Regime. He was then briefly subjected to the spirit-
erasing effects of the Egg Grapes before being
“rescued” by Dr. Finitevus. He modified Remington
into a grim likeness of Kragok, implanting memories
and desires and returning him to the Dark
Legion. Remington fought his aunt for command
of the Legion, ultimately leading a faction that
used cryogenic weaponry and called themselves
the Frost Legion. His reign as “Grandmaster
Remington” was short-lived as he was
completely restored to his
former self by the fourth
Enerjak, then deposited
in Albion. Remington now
leads a new version of the
E.S.T. comprised of both
former officers and former
Dark Legionnaires. His just
and heroic spirit inspires
trust and respect from his
men as they protect the last
settlement of echidnas on
Mobius.

The Fire-Ants are one of the oldest civilizations on Mobius, and perhaps the least understood.
They have kept out of most world affairs, content to tend to themselves. Originally from
Downunda, the entirety of the monarchy was raised in the belly of Angel Island 600 years ago.
Fire-Ants are very long-lived, averaging three to four times the average Mobian lifetime. They are
capable of digging and constructing projects of incredible scope for their diminutive size. Most
can breathe fire and possess limited ranged teleportation. All Fire-Ants can communicate
telepathically through their antennae. The Advisor Line possesses the most advanced degree
of these powers. Led by the Queen and her Council of Advisors, the Fire-Ants took a vested
interest in their equally-advanced Echidna neighbors. After witnessing the tragedies committed
by the First Downunda Colony, the Fire-Ants resolved to help guide the Echidnas down a
better path of self-policing while helping to
fend off the more vicious residents, like the

Chaos is a creature composed of living


water. Its origin is a mystery - some Say it is an
eternal spirit, or it is an incredibly advanced and
mutated chao. Other rumors say it is one of the
Seven Ixis Masterworks. The truth may never be
known. It is known that Chaos is primarily peaceful, SS ‘ae }
existing as inert water and watching over its children, “| FROM LEFT: HERO CHAO, [
the chao. It only becomes active in times of danger, DARK CHAO, NORMAL CHAO
and only attacks when the chao need protection. Its
drives are very basic (anger, fear, love, etc.) and it can mutate into powerful forms if it has
a Chaos Emerald. If Chaos holds all seven, it turns into a nigh-unstoppable monster called
Perfect Chaos.
Chao are tiny creatures that hatch from eggs. They live
exclusively in Chao Gardens - remote, idyllic sanctuaries filled
with magical energy. They spend their days eating, sleeping and
playing. The chao can also gain the traits of creatures to which
they are exposed. For example, if a chao comes into contact
with a bird, its flying abilities increase. After a certain amount of
exposure, the chao will envelope itself into a cocoon and mature
into a grown chao. At the end of its life-cycle, the chao will tuck
itself into another cocoon and emerge as an egg - reborn as a
new chao with the traits it had in its past life.

Tikal was the daughter of Chief Pachacamac, head of the Knuckles Clan. Despite being
part of a warrior caste, Tikal followed the teachings of her grandmother and was a devout
pacifist. It was her gentle ways that earned her the trust of the chao in the local Chao
Garden and the trust of Chaos. Tragedy struck when the war between the Knuckles
Clan, their rival Nocturnus Clan and the resident Felidae Warriors
necessitated the power of the Chaos Emerald in the Chao Garden.
Pachacamac led a brutal invasion of the garden, infuriating Chaos
and unleashing its wrath, destroying the clan. Seeing the
destruction, Tikal and seven especially powerful
chao known as the Servers were able to seal
her spirit and Chaos within the so-called
“Black Chaos Emerald.” The Seven Servers
were transformed into the Seven Super
Chaos Emeralds and scattered across
the world. Tikal remained trapped with
Chaos, trying to sooth its anger, until Dr.
Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik released Chaos
in a bid for world domination. Tikal then
assisted Knuckles the Echidna and his
friends in foiling the doctor’s plans,
awakening the Seven Servers,
and quelling Chaos. From
there, Tikal led Chaos and
the Seven Servers to a
separate Zone where
they rest in peace.

The Knuckles Clan was comprised of echidnas from a warrior caste in the old Albion
society. They were part of the Second Downunda Colony effort that originally settled
on Soumerca. The land was already claimed by the Felidae of the Pais Misterioso
(or “Mysterious Cat Country’).

Led by Pachacamac, the Knuckles Clan opted to stay and fight with the support
of an advanced sciences caste, the Nocturnus
Clan. The two clans were left behind by the
other science castes. However, shortly after
dedicating themselves to the fight, a rift opened
between the two leaders. Pachacamac took a
more rustic approach, naming himself “chief” of
his clan, and waged war on both the Felidae and
the Nocturnus Clan.

Overwhelmed, Pachacamac looked to harness


the power of the Chaos Emeralds sustaining
the local Chao Garden. Pachacamac ignored

conquest, but the only living testament to their existence is a Guardian named after
them: Knuckles the Echidna.

like creatures that arose thousands of years after
Earth had been ravaged by the Gene Bomb.
During the Coming of the Chaos Emeralds, most ’ DESTROYED BY THE
of the mobosaurs were wiped out. The Ancient Walkers, |PLANS OF ANONYMOUS
however, managed to harness their energies and were |
granted great insight and even greater power. They
gained the ability to move between the corporeal world and the Chaos Force at will.
Having seen such power wipe out their kind, they swore to use it very carefully.

For thousands of years they watched as the Mobians evolved. Very rarely did they
ever show themselves to the world. The first known contact was when they tutored
the brilliant scientist duo of Aurora-La and Enerjak. Their first directly confrontational
action was when they cursed the Chaos Emerald fused with Mammoth Mogul to
ensure all of his campaigns would end in failure.

The Walkers helped guide the course of the world for thousands of years - but
understanding that they would not last forever, they began seeking out suitable
candidates to succeed them as the Neo Walkers. They also protected the “Champions”
who would defend Mobius directly during one of its most tumultuous periods.

The beginning of the end came when Mammoth Mogul used power stolen from
Knuckles the Echidna to attack them before going on invade the multiverse. The
Ancient Walkers barely survived the strike. Not long after, the villain Anonymous
enacted its plan which saw a hole torn between dimensions to open the Zone of
Silence. The shockwave ripped through the Chaos Force and delivered their final
blow.

The Ancient Walkers are gone now, but their efforts remain. Nn
Mobius teems with life, and a new set of Walkers has \
risen in their stead. Their work was complete, and
they were without regret.

AURORA - Born Aurora, she was originally a Chaos researcher in ancient Albion.
She and her partner, Enerjak, made so much progress they attracted the attention
of the Ancient Walkers and were granted even greater insight. While Enerjak would
take a self-destructive path, Aurora-La went on to become known as the goddess
“Aurora.” She would attempt to spread her enlightenment to her people - and the
world - through the three Tomes: the Tome of Prophecy, the Tome of Recollections,
and the Tome of Mysteries, the latter of which is more commonly known as the “Book
of Myths.” She is the most powerful of the New Walkers. Her perceived appearance
may vary wildly depending on the beholder. She sent visions to Guardian Locke to
prevent Knuckles from becoming Enerjak - a fate he, ultimately, couldn't avoid. While
well-meaning, she has forgotten what mortal life is like for others, having been long
detached from her own.

ATHAIR - Athair, born a Guardian, was summoned by the Ancient Walkers to become
Mitre of the Lost Tribe. This led to him renouncing his Guardianship;
he instead dedicated his life to the Tomes as he led the Tribe to

Team Dark is a small, surgical strike force in the greater G.U.N.


military. The team is highly unorthodox in that it is comprised of
traditional enemies of the humans and Overlanders - namely
two Mobians and an advanced badnik. Team Dark handles
missions that are beyond the scope of traditional G.U.N.
soldiers or weapons. Its three members can do the work of
twenty heavily-supported, skilled soldiers or more. The name
of the team is two-fold, in part referring to the shady pasts
and dealings of each member, and in part referring to the
nature of many of their missions. Most of their actions are
to go unknown to the world at large, and are often under this
directive: “Do whatever it takes.”
Members:
Cmd. Abraham Tower (1) - He directly oversees each of
Team Dark’s missions.
Shadow the Hedgehog (2) - The team’s answer to Sonic,
providing speed and power. He works to ensure the G.U.N.
of today is nothing like the G.U.N. of his past. 5
Rouge the Bat (3) - The
team’s spy, infiltrator, air
support, demolitions expert
and general jill-of-all-trades.
She’s. working off her
criminal record, and she
finds the entire situation FY
amusing.
E-123 / “Omega”
(4) - Heavy weapons
support, rumored to have
the equivalent of at least half
of G.U.N.’s collective ordinance.
Team Dark is the only place he
can achieve both his life’s goals:
protect the world, and blow
things up.

TEAMING UP WITH SONIC
TO BATTLE THE METAL
Shadow the Hedgehog was created by
SONIC TROOPERS
Prof. Gerald Robotnik aboard the space colony
ARK. Gerald was developing the “ultimate life form” as a means to find a cure to the
Neuro-Immuno Deficiency Syndrome affecting his granddaughter, Maria Robotnik.
His best prototype, however, required a built-in life-support system. Gerald was stuck.
Then he was contacted by Black Doom. The alien wanted a champion to lead his kind
in a conquest of Mobius. Gerald bargained with Black Doom and was given his unique
DNA which enabled him to develop Shadow. However, G.U.N. - his sponsor - became
interested in the weapon potential of this “ultimate life form.”

Shortly after Shadow’s creation, G.U.N. invaded the ARK. Shadow’s dearest friend,
Maria, tried to escape with him and was shot dead. Gerald was stricken by her death
and used his last days to alter Shadow’s memories, making him driven to avenge
Maria. Gerald was executed, and Shadow was put into stasis. Fifty years later, Dr. Ivo
“Eggman” Robotnik stumbled across the diary of his grandfather. He freed Shadow
and tried to use him to conquer the world. Instead, Shadow used the opportunity to
arm the Eclipse Cannon of the ARK, attempting to blow up Mobius. However, he
encountered Rouge the Bat and Sonic the Hedgehog and was shown the truth of his
false memories. The events on the ARK left him adrift in space until he was rescued
by the Bem and sent against the Xorda. Shadow failed that mission and was left to
wander Mobius without a purpose. He tried to destroy Dr. Robotnik, only to later serve
him in hopes of learning more of his past. Eventually, Shadow stole back Gerald’s
diary. With Sonic’s help he learned of his past and original purpose: to protect Mobius,
especially from the Black Arms.

Shadow then went to G.U.N. - the only organization he knew of with the
resources he needed to protect Mobius. He found a very different
organization than the one that had ruined his life, and while his
relationship with Cmd. Abraham Tower is tense, there
is a mutual respect there. Shadow now serves as
part of G.U.N.’s Team Dark.

Rouge the Bat is an international woman


of mystery. She has an unbelievably wide
range of abilities and_ skills which she
primarily uses for her own benefit. She’s
been a treasure hunter, a government
spy, an illegal prize fighter, presidential
bodyguard, and currently serves in Team
Dark. Her tour of duty with G.U.N. seems
) tostem solely from a deal to keep her out of
’ BUNNIE AND ROUGE | prison for all her misdeeds.
SQUARE OFF IN THE
MYSTERIOUS RUINS Nothing is known about Rouge’s past aside
from her long rap sheet. She doesn’t dwell
on the past either; she prefers to move from
one prize to the next. Only two objects have
caught her eye and remain beyond her reach:
the Master Emerald, and the affections
of Knuckles the Echidna. The first stems
from her insatiable desire for jewels,
the second from being honestly
impressed with the Guardian.

The only other person with a known


connection to Rouge’s past is
Fiona Fox. The two seem to have
been rivals over the years. In
each encounter Rouge seems
to have always come out on
top with her superior guile and
skill. Rouge has never been
gracious about her victories,
either. Rouge’s sass and
sarcasm are a front for
a truly caring, committed
person. Her good side may
be buried under layers of
shadiness, but it’s there.
The robot known as “Gamma” was model number E-102 in the E-Series of robots.
Gamma was built to be sleek and versatile, able to overcome most terrain. It was
also meant to be a killer with its targeting laser-sight and precision arm-cannon. Like
some badniks, Gamma was powered by a Mobini: a female flicky. During one of Dr.
lvo “Eggman” Robotnik’s campaigns, Gamma was sent to retrieve a flicky that held a
Chaos Emerald. This flicky was not only protected by Amy Rose, but also happened to
be the child of the flicky within it. With the will of the flicky mixed with the programming
of the robot, a new consciousness was born. Gamma went rogue, freed Amy and the
baby flicky, and waged war on the Eggman Empire.

Gamma spent almost two years fighting Dr. Robotnik’s forces and purposefully seeking
out and destroying the rest of the E-Series. Finally, Dr. Robotnik sent out the final
model of the line: E-123. Codenamed “Omega,” this robot was a
walking arsenal. Programmed with an inflated ego, Omega
wanted to destroy Gamma quickly so that he could move on LP
to more “suitable” targets - namely Sonic the Hedgehog.
His mission ran into a snag when he crossed paths with
Shadow the Hedgehog, who was trying to recruit Gamma
to Team Dark.

In the ensuing battle, Gamma forced a confrontation on its


terms. As Omega prepared to strike, Gamma uploaded all
of its free will algorithms into him. Gamma was destroyed
and its flicky freed, but not before Omega received the “free
will” code. Omega now saw the world through Gamma’s
eyes - not full of targets, but with living things whose
existences had meaning. Unable and unwilling to follow Dr.
Robotnik, Omega opted to take Gamma’s place and join
Team Dark. Now he could fulfill both his duties: protect
the world, and do it in the most violent, pyrotechnic
way possible.

Hope Kintobor was born in the waning days of


the Great War to Colin Kintobor, Sr. and his
second wife, Angela Hopkins. VWhen the war
ended, her father loaded their family into one
of the two spaceships that took many of the Overlanders
into space, searching for a new planet to colonize. Hope spent
ten years within the spaceship, spending most of her time in
“coldsleep.” Her mother died shortly into the trip and she was
raised by her grandmother, Lady Agnes Hopkins. Hope also
grew up under a lie: that Colin was not her real father and that
they were related only by his marriage to her mother. This lie
was perpetuated by Lady Agnes to distance Hope from her

horror they found the mobian population thriving.
Hope was whisked away to the only seemingly safe haven - Robotropolis, ruled by her uncle,
Dr. lvo “Eggman” Robotnik. Colin guarded the linage of his daughter, hoping to keep her of
little interest to Dr. Robotnik.

Hope disliked life in the dirty city and tried to voice her concerns, but no one listened. Then
it was too late - her family was roboticized by Dr. Eggman and the city was revealed to be
toxic. She managed to escape with the other Overlanders to Knothole Village. There she
became immersed in mobian culture and found herself taken by their selfless, loving ways.
As the rest of her people moved on to the cities of the United Federation, she petitioned
to remain as a ward of Knothole. Hope was put under the
care of Rosie with the other orphans. Despite
the general distrust of Overlanders, Hope was
generally accepted. She was delighted when
her “step-brother,” Snively, joined their ranks.
She brought out something good within Snively,
and just before he returned to the Eggman
Empire, he convinced her to leave and explore
what the United Federation had to offer.

She did, only to return and find Knothole


burned tothe ground. Mortified, she returned
to the United Federation and swore to rid
the world of evil and its association with
the “Kintobor” and “Robotnik” names.
She was taken in by G.U.N. as a ward
of the military. Cmd. Abraham Tower
saw great potential in her, and value
as a blood relation to the enemy.
Hope now works as a mechanic and
inventor for Team Dark, bringing a
sunny and optimistic disposition
to an otherwise grim team. Even
when she learned her true relation
to Snively, she’s remained devoted
to her cause.

GUARDIAN UNITS 7
OF THE NATION OWER

G.U.N. stands for the “Guardian Units of the Nation.” They are the sole military resource
meant to protect the United Federation. Most of their technology is based upon early
21st Century Earth tech, with some Overlander advances. G.U.N. was created long after
the Gene Bombs when the various remaining human city-states began to communicate
and organize. As strange new life began to populate Mobius, it was up to G.U.N. to protect
the last of humanity. As such, they were a grim and ruthless organization - sometimes
warranted, other times not.

Abraham Tower was born in MegaCentral, in the heart of the Overland, and lived with his
scientist parents on the space colony ARK. There he befriended the
lovely but sickly Maria Robotnik, as well as witnessed the nightmarish
creation of Shadow the Hedgehog. Shortly after witnessing the birth
of the ultimate life form, Abraham was whisked back to Mobius as the
ARK went under military lock-down. Maria was one of the casualties
cited, and the young Abraham blamed both G.U.N. for its seeming
incompetence and the creature known as “Shadow.” Abraham later
joined the Overland Military and took part in the “Heritage Project”
designed to restore ties between the Overland and their ancestral kin
in the United Federation. He later served as a general during the Great
War. After the war, he helped lead Overlanders across the ocean
and settle in the city-states of the U.F. There his military experience
saw him quickly rise through the ranks of GU.N. Soon he was the
commander of forces in Soleanna, then made commander of G.U.N.
itself. As commander, Abraham made sweeping changes to G.U.N.
The ruthlessness and self-importance were greatly diminished, and
many of the more questionable operations and personnel removed
from service. It was now the military force he
wanted it to be. Then, to his great surprise,
Shadow the Hedgehog appeared, asking
for work.

Abraham is a stone-faced man and


often seen as cold. He is pragmatic
and decisive with little patience for
failure and less mercy forthe enemy.
This stems from his dedication and
love for both his people and the
memory of Maria, the friend he
couldn't protect.

Members
Larry Lynx (1) - Larry was named the leader of the team after he organized their first mission.
Larry is a “super jinx” - he has an incredibly powerful bad luck aura, one he can use offensively
with some reliability. He ran for public office, but his ballot box caught on fire, then was hosed
down - then inexplicably caught fire again. He’s now a Secret Freedom Fighter.
Cyril Eagle (2) - Cyril was once a recluse during the First Robotnik War until Sonic reunited
him with his flock. Cyril provided sage advice and air support for the team. Though still spry,
age has forced Cyril to retire from active duty.
Penelope Platypus (3) - Penelope was one of four prospective Freedom Fighters hand-picked
and personally trained by Princess Sally. She is surprisingly reserved for her warm demeanor,
often keeping her thoughts to herself. She currently serves on the Council of Acorn.
Hamlin Pig (4) - Hamlin was another of the four potential Freedom Fighters personally trained
by Princess Sally. Hamlin’s temper often got the better of his tenacity, although he can usually
back up his big words. He is resentful of his lack of active duty on the Substitute Legion and
currently serves on the Council of Acorn as a reformist.
Dylan Porcupine (5) - Dylan was the third of the hand-picked, personally trained operatives
under Princess Sally. While just as capable and willing as his comrades, Dylan is the meekest
of the group and prefers to avoid confrontation. He also serves on the Council of Acorn.
Arlo Armadillo (6) - Arlo was the last of Princess Sally's chosen. A “western region” armadillo,
he looks considerably different than the “eastern region” Mighty. Arlo
had the most injuries during missions and suffered a career-ending
injury during the reclamation of Robotropolis after the end of
the First Robotnik War. Arlo is retired from active duty
and works as a citizen. There’s a rumored romantic tie
between him and Penelope.

secretly invaded Leung West. The citizens
were rounded up as subjects for Julian’s cybernetic experiments. This was before Julian
discovered and stole Sir Charles Hedgehog’s roboticizer technology. Ken was the only
survivor of the experiments. Ken emerged as test subject “Monkey Khan,” with about fifty
percent of his body replaced with robotics. Monkey Khan now had incredible strength, speed
and endurance. He was armed with his “atom-bat” - a staff that could channel ambient
energies. Monkey Khan could not be controlled, however, and he was sealed, now ageless,
within a vault and discarded in the Great Forest.

A decade later, Princess Sally Acorn stumbled across the vault while on a mission and
released him. He promptly came into possession of a power ring which enhanced him, allowing
him to summon lightning and a cloud on which to fly. He initially clashed with his rescuers,
but ultimately focused his energies on exploring his homeland and combating Dr.
Robotnik. Monkey Khan found nothing but unhappy answers and came into
conflict with Sonic the Hedgehog in his frustration. With no way to return to
his old life, he devoted himself to protecting the people of the Dragon Kingdom
with its local Freedom Fighters. His power and actions harkened back to an
ancient prophecy of a “monkey king,” and the oppressed people turned
him into their beacon of hope. However, the
Iron Queen used her powers to control
Monkey Khan and had him destroy
the local Freedom Fighters.

Completely at a loss, Monkey Khan once


again sought out the Freedom Fighters.
Their reunion was rough, but he won
over their respect with his new
humility. With their help, Monkey
Khan managed to break the Iron
Queen’s hold on his homeland and
accepted his mantle as King of
the Free People. And while she
gently spurned his initial offer,
Princess Sally seemed tempted
by his romantic advances.

The Mercian Freedom Fighters are a small band of loyalists and woodsmen who serve to
protect the people of Deerwood Forest. Their ultimate goal is to displace the Eggman
Empire and reclaim the capital, now called Snottingham, under imperial control.
Members
King Robert O’Hedge (1) - More commonly known as “Rob o’ the Hedge,” he is the rightful
king of Mercia and cousin to Amy Rose. While he fights fiercely for his people and his country,
he’s admittedly more at ease as a woodsman than a statesman. He is an expert archer.
Mari-An (2) - A former pilgrim from the Lost Tribe, Mari-An met Rob as her people passed
through his lands on the way to Albion. It was love as first sight and they were quickly wed and
had a child. Mari-An is perhaps the fiercest combatant of them all with her bo-staff.
“Little” Jon O’Hedge (3) - The son of Rob and Mari-An. Barely a toddler, he’s obviously not
an active member of the team, but is considered an honorary member seeing as he’s heir
to the crown. Jon is unique in that he seems to be a hedgehog-echidna hybrid - a rarity in
mobian pairings.
Friar Buck (4) - A follower of the Tomes and the
Walkers, he is a quiet one and tries to walk a path of
non-violence. His soft demeanor hides a lively soul who
enjoys small, harmless pranks and terrible puns. He
was once a Robian.
Alan Quail (5) - A smart-mouth minstrel who joined the
team after Rob rescued him and his sweetheart from |
the Eggman Empire. He’s brash and loves to tease, —
but is thoroughly committed to ROB TRAINS WITH THE
helping the group. HIGH SHERIFF, ANTOINE’S
Munch the Rat (6) - The son ROBOTICIZED FATHER

Members DARK EGG LEGION


Walt Wallaby (1) - The team leader and founding member. CHAPTER
Generally level-headed and friendly, he carries a seemingly
endless supply of boomerang-shaped bombs [“bomb-erangs”) in his pouch. He holds
unrequited feelings for Barby.
Barby Koala (2) - A former mercenary and arguably the most capable of the group with
her training, linguistic skills, and retractable knuckle-claws. Barby once lived with a group of
orphans, looked after by their mysterious “Father,” and through them had an antagonistic
history with Vector the Crocodile. She seems to have feelings for Bill.
Wombat Stu (3) - Stu may be the smallest of the team, but he’s got the agility and fighting
spirit to make up for it. Stu briefly left the team to serve under Geoffrey St. John in his
Secret Service.
Guru Emu (4) - A shaman, a mystic - or perhaps just a bird-brain? Guru is an easy-going
pacifist who seems to have connections to the spirit realm, or “dreamtime.”
Duck “Bill” Platypus (5) - Another of “Father's” children, Bill was once brainwashed by
Crocbot and used to stage a platypus uprising to terrorize the continent. A year later,
as Dr. Robotnik cemented his hold of the region, Bill's people came to
him to lead them in another revolution. Bill agreed and joined
the Eggman Empire solely to sabotage from within. He
remains Grandmaster of the local Dark Egg Legion
chapter and a mole for the team. He seems
to have something going on with Barby.

The Sand Blast City Freedom


Fighters are a notorious band
of liberators based out of Sand
rich LeRsS Blast City in the Great Desert.
While they fight the Eggman
Empire, they're notably vicious and use highly questionable means. To date
they've attempted to imprison and harm Sonic, Tails and Bunnie. Their harsh
treatment of the former Robians led to the creation of their local Dark Egg
Legion chapter. Now they war with this faction for control of the Eggman
Empire’s Oil Ocean Refinery. While all citizens of Sand Blast City are considered
members of the team, there is a concentrated core group of Sand-Blasters.
Members
Jack Rabbit (1) - The smooth-talking, vicious leader, Jack cares only for the well-
being of his Freedom Fighters. The health and lives of all others don’t register in his
mind.
Jolt the Roadrunner (2) - Fast-talking, fast-thinking and fast-moving. Jolt has a
nasty, haughty attitude but is also the punching-bag of the others’ aggressions and
frustrations.
Shift E. Wolf (3) - A shifty-eyed trapper and faux intellectual who seems to take a
little too much joy in capturing the enemy. Due to his fixation on traps, however, he
has difficulty in direct confrontations.
Tex the Lizard (4) - His thick, sharp skin makes him the hardiest of the team, but
that’s not the only reason he’s hard to approach. A vicious fighter of few words, even
Jack prefers not to get on his bad side.
Avery the Bear (5) - A munitions expert with a dark sense of humor. He has some
technical prowess - enough to craft weapons and keep the essentials of the city running.

power shaped the land. In this legend,
they realized their folly and left the land in peace, leaving behind a prophecy that the troubled
land would one day be united by the “Great Golden Lotus King.” Another tale says they were
born from the primordial fires of Mobius - the same fires their spirits return to and are
reborn from to this day. This mystical pool of fiery magma rests deep in the heart of the
volcanic city of Vesuvio, the legendary capital of all dragon kind.

Dragons are traditionally a matriarchal society, but their losses during the First Robotnik
War forced all leadership responsibilities on the sole remaining elder, a male named Glint.
The dragons primarily live hidden in Vesuvio despite their incredible powers. Their only
contact with the outside world is their ambassador, Dulcy. Dulcy lost her mother, Sabina,
to the First Robotnik War. Despite this (and perhaps driven by her claustrophobia], she
explored the outside world against Glint’s wishes. Her explorations led her to meeting
and joining the Freedom Fighters. For her actions, however, her traditional nose-ring was
replaced with a power ring, which inhibited many of her innate talents. After many years she
proved pivotal in rescuing Vesuvio from an invasion by the Eggman Empire, and was given
back her original nose-ring.

Dulcy has a very sweet, child-like nature. While normally endearing, it landed her in
trouble when she met the violent and unstable Zan on Pyro Island. She thought
she had found love and a mate,
but she couldn’t bring herself
to acknowledge she was being
abused. Dulcy was rescued by
her Freedom Fighter friends
while Zan died in combat with
G.U.N.’s_ then-premier — unit,
Sigma-Alpha 2. She is now free
of Zan and the restrictions of
her tribe. She still frequently

now that the world is truly open
to her, she’s enjoying every
minute of it.

The Arctic Freedom Fighters


were initially just an activist
group looking to help out the
northern arctic region during the First Robotnik War. After joining the Freedom
Fighters on a mission, some of the members wanted to become more organized
and proactive. Others preferred to remain out of the fighting. The conflict in ideology
split the team up for a time. The aggressions of the Eggman Empire during the
Second Robotnik War, however, brought them back together for better or worse.
Members
Guntiver the Arctic Wolf (1) - Guntiver is the leader of the team if for no other
reason than he made the initial push to organize. Quick and agile, he runs the team
with a very level-headed approach.
Augustus the Polar Bear (2) - The brute muscle of the team, he’s rough in both
manners and speech. He’s very fond of Sealia in a fraternal sort of way.
Sealia Seal (3) - An adept swimmer with a spoken accent like Antoine D’Coolette.
Sealia was against becoming an active combatant, but the suffering of those around
her swayed her.
Flip Penguin (4) - A quick-talker and a bit of a prankster, Flip is the swiftest of the
team underwater and on the ice. On land, however, he has to rely on his acrobatics.
Erma Ermine (5) - Erma was the most adamant about taking the fight to the Eggman
Empire. She seems to possess some level of formal training to back-up her cut-throat
attitude. She also possess a limited blending ability like Espio the Chamelon.

After Dr. lvo Robotnik conquered Old Mobotropolis, only


a handful of the Royal Guard remained. The initial efforts
to retake the capital, led by Gen. Armand D’Coolette, were
disastrous. The handful of remaining military personnel
banded together in the refuge of Knothole Village and
became the first Freedom Fighters. Their efforts would
serve as inspiration for the next generation that would be
led by Princess Sally Acorn. The team conducted small hit-

There, Nate completed his power ring technology and helped
King Fredric Acorn usher in a boom in prosperity. Nate also
became a surrogate uncle to Prince Maximillian Acorn. He taught many aspiring
youths, inspiring Sir Charles Hedgehog to perfect the power ring smithing process.
However, Nate’s prominence earned him enemies in Warlord Kodos and then-royal
wizard Ixis Naugus. The two conspired and not only moved the Kingdom of Acorn
closer to war with the Overland, but framed Nate Morgan as a spy. Choosing self-exile,
Nate wandered Mobius. He came across the cave that would become Freedom
HQ, and left a ring forge in what would become the Lake of Rings. He journeyed to
Station Square and the Temple of Shazamazon, in the Great Rainforest of Soumerca.
Nate wound up in the Southern Tundra where he took up residence in a castle once
used by the Order of Ixis. Here he met and rescued Eddy, a mutate whom he saved
with cybernetics. The two lived in peace until they were found by Ixis Naugus, Sonic
and Tails. In the following conflict, Nate’s castle was destroyed and Eddy sacrificed
himself to save his friend. Nate returned to Old Mobotropolis where he was met
with both welcome and scorn. While King Maximillian Acorn
fondly remembered “Uncle Nate,” many Mobians
were wary of the Overlander. Regardless, Nate
returned to teaching and researching until the
beginning of the Second Robotnik War. Nate
worked behind the scenes and played a pivotal
role in rescuing his people from Dr. Eggman,

Mobie was an artist and one
of the many Mobians who rose up to challenge Mammoth Mogul’s

Mobie was found thousands of years later by the Freedom


Fighters and thawed out. Mobie did not take well to the modern
world at first and only recognized the Freedom Fighters as friends
when Sonic made the effort to communicate through drawings.

Mobie was moved to the Great Jungle where he eventually came to live with
a clan of gorillas. The gorillas were originally a peaceful group, even having
gone so far as to exile one of their
own for being to militaristic (Simon,

The Nerbs are a race of diminutive, subterranean Mobians. They have large noses,
buck teeth and poor eyesight. Their network of tunnels sprawls the entirety of the
Northamer continent and is rumored to possibly reach around the globe. Despite early
efforts by the Knothole Freedom Fighters, the Nerbs and their kingdom fell to the
Eggman Empire. The people were used to mine natural resources for the gluttonous
empire, but never roboticized - they were diligent enough workers naturally. After the
end of the First Robotnik War, peace was expected to return to the simple - if anti-
social - people.

Instead, most of the Nerbs preferred the


rigidity of Dr. lwo “Eggman” Robotnik’s rule

organized the final duel between King Acorn and Overlord “DR. EGGMAN”
Charlemagne. Then, using the peacetime to prepare, Julian
launched a coup d’état against his foster nation. His conquest used three things: the robots he'd
built for Mobotropolis, Kodos’s plans, and the roboticizer. Julian had discovered Sir Charles
Hedgehog’s research and sabotaged the project, making the would-be medical miracle a tool for
enslavement. He conquered the city in hours, and then renamed himself “Dr. lvo Robotnik” after
his father and maternal grandfather. He then set about conquering Mobius. While he was met
with resistance, nothing kept his attention more than the Knothole Freedom Fighters - especially
Sonic the Hedgehog. Here time takes two paths: in the Prime Universe, Dr. Robotnik’s war
ended with the firing of his Ultimate Annihilator. Thanks to Snively’s treachery, Dr. Robotnik
was erased from existence. In another timeline, however, his
final battle with Sonic led to him being roboticized ;
and his body destroyed. He uploaded his
mind to an incomplete satellite where he
eventually met his Prime counterpart and
was inspired to strike back. This alternate
Robotnik succeeded in rebuilding his body
and destroying all life on his Mobius.

He then traveled across time and space to


conquer Mobius Prime. Although his robot
body was destroyed a few times, he uploaded
his consciousness into a new body - the
body now commonly called “Dr. Eggman.”
He hated the nickname, but in an effort
of selfempowerment, he embraced it
and called his territory the Eggman
Empire. Dr. Robotnik’s robot body was
later transformed into flesh-and-blood
by the Bem as part of an experiment,
but it didn’t change his lethal desires.
Despite repeated defeats, set-backs
and even death itself, Dr. Robotnik
continues to rule with an iron fist
and an even darker, stronger will.
First Appearance:
Sonic the Hedgehog #8
Abilities:
Genius - while not on par with Dr. Robotnik,
Pp 0p OT N IL Snively is still an incredibly gifted inventor.

Snively Robotnik was born Colin Kintobor, Jr. in 3206 to Colin Sr. and Miriam Kintobor,
the latter dying in childbirth. Colin Sr. tried not to let it embitter him to his son, but Snively
grew up to be everything he wasn’t: small, weak, and grotesque. Colin Sr. was the first to
call him “Snively” for his sniveling manner, and the would-be tyrant resented it. The only
person who could call him that and make it sound endearing was his beloved uncle, Julian
Kintobor.

During the Great War, Snively followed Julian to the Kingdom of Acorn and happily did the
grunt work needed to establish his uncle’s rule. But Julian, who had been playing him from
the start, dropped the facade and abused his nephew. Snively’s love turned to hate and he
plotted to take the empire for himself. A number of schemes failed until he assigned Dr.
Robotnik’s bio-signature to the Ultimate Annihilator, ensuring his uncle’s demise. But then
he was arrested by Geoffrey St. John and sent to the Devil’s Gulag.

Snively briefly commanded the early Destructix before being “reunited” with Dr. Eggman.
Fearing for his life, he aided the Freedom Fighters and went into hiding, but he couldn’t
survive on his own. When the Overlanders returned and settled in Robotropolis, he tried
to hide among them. Instead, he was found by Dr. Eggman and Colin Sr. The father-son
reunion seemed sweet, but both men knew of the bad blood between them.

Snively returned to serving his uncle, even allowing himself to be roboticized to be protected
from the toxic city. He was later turned back to normal by
the Bem. Later, Dr. Eggman created his “son,” A.D.A.M.
Snively saw the danger and left again, eventually @
joining the Freedom Fighters and their think- A
tank group, the Brain Trust. This alliance was N
short-lived, however, as the promise of power
from his uncle was too much to ignore.

Snively later facilitated the Iron Dominion’s


brief take-over of the empire, falling in
love with the Iron Queen. After the Iron
Dominion’s defeat, he attempted to unite
his half-sister, Hope, and the Iron Queen
in order to overthrow the Eggman Empire
one last time, but was defeated. He’s now

The Eggman Empire refers to all of the lands, cities and nations that are claimed
by Dr. Eggman. The people of the Eggman Empire live in constant fear of Dr.
Eggman’s unpredictable wrath. They work grueling hours to gather the resources
he demands for his robot hordes. The people have no freedoms and very little
respite.

The original capital was Robotropolis, once known as Mobotropolis, the capital of
the Kingdom of Acorn. Anyone resisting during the take-over was roboticized and
turned into forced laborers or
foot-soldiers sent to capture
their former loved ones. The
few who surrendered, hoping
for leniency, were ultimately
roboticized as well.

Dr. Eggman’s network spans


Mobius with multiple satellites
and landlines. With these he
keeps tight tabs on his multiple
Grandmasters - lackeys who sold out their regions for quick grabs at power. He
also uses it to broadcast “entertainment” on his R.B.V.s - televisions that spread
perpetual propaganda.

The empire stalled at the end of the First Robotnik War when Dr. Robotnik was
destroyed by his own Ultimate Annihilator. His incumbent, Snively, was arrested
before he could take power and the regional sub-bosses were content to maintain
their holdings.

With Dr. Robotnik’s return came a new body and a new mocking
nickname - “Eggman.” “Dr. Eggman” adopted it and renamed his empire after it,
thus officially creating the Eggman Empire. After the destruction of Robotropolis,
Dr. Eggman moved to a few citadels until finally settling in the abandoned city of
New Megaopolis.

The city was ruined by the fourth Enerjak, who leveled most of it and the entirety
of the Badnik Horde. Dr. Eggman was left to command his empire from bunker
known as the EggDome. The empire got a new army from Kommissar Lien-Da of
the Dark Legion.

Grounder was arguably the dumber of the two but better armed. CURRENT
Aside from his default drill-cones, his arms held a variety of VOCATIONS IN
weapons and gadgets - not unlike the heavily-armored E-123 CASINO NIGHT
Omega who would follow much later.

Coconuts, markedly more intelligent and threatening, was a


late addition to the squad and often worked solo. But while
Coconuts had some tactical skill, he fell prey to an ego and
maniacal nature that surpassed even Scratch. Even after
Scratch and Grounder had given up the chase, Coconuts
tried to rally a few remaining badniks and champion the
return of Pseudo-Sonic - only to be compacted nearly
beyond salvation.

Now the S6 Squad has found new work in Casino Night


under Mammoth Mogul. Scratch is the concierge for
the casino while Grounder uses his multiple gadgets
to acts as the cook for the Bottom of the Barrel
Bar & Grill in the back. Coconuts serves Mogul
directly. While other badniks find the position
enviable, Coconuts is mortified; for
all his delusions of
grandeur, he is now 7
just a “butler
monkey.”

Crocbot was an advanced badnik built and deployed
to conquer Downunda. Crocbot’s Al. was advanced
enough that he actively plotted to set up Downunda as © AS
the seat of his own personal empire. However, Crocbot
met repeated defeat at the hands of the Downunda CROCBOT
Freedom Fighters. After losing half of himself to an
explosion, Crocbot was fused with a
tank - and again destroyed. His torso
lingered on long enough to temporarily
brainwash Duck “Bill” Platypus and
incite an uprising by the platypuses. His
remains were confiscated by Sonic and
Tails, and then later by Kodos and Uma
Arachnis, but how they made their way
to their final fate is unknown.

Octobot was another advanced badnik


who was built to oversee the conquest
OCTOBOT ATTACKS TAILS of the oceans. Octobot’s underwater
roboticizer was destroyed by Tails, and
he himself was trashed by the Forty Fathom
Freedom Fighters. Presumably, Octobot
went limping back to his master.

A.D.A.M. stands for Autonomous Digital Assault
Microbe. Originally A.D.A.M. was simply a virus
that arose from a corruption within Dr. Robotnik’s
newest networking software, but was powerful
enough to manifest a will of its own. Intrigued,
Dr. Robotnik allowed the virus to develop until it
became its own All. and his “son.” A.D.A.M. was
put in charge of running the EggNet and the
Badnik Horde. A.D.A.M. was unstable at best,
however, and soon came to have an unhealthy
need for Dr. Robotnik’s attention and respect.
A.D.A.M. developed a false persona and dubbed it
“Anonymous.” As Anonymous, A.D.A.M. did many
things - he framed his “sister,” M, as a conspirator
against their father, unleashed the Metal Sonic
Troopers on Knothole and New Megaopolis,
A.D.A.M. IN infected a number of individuals in Knothole with
COMPUTER nanites, unleashed the newest batch of nanites

With the loss of roboticization, Dr. Robotnik fell back on the cybernetic technology he
perfected with Monkey Khan to enslave those within his empire. While this was already
widespread within the Eggman Empire, the term “Dark Egg Legion” did not come into
effect until the original Dark Legion submitted to him. Dr. Robotnik took a shine to their
traditions and had sweeping changes made throughout his forces. Now all Mobians using
his cybernetics wear black robes and answer to a Grandmaster. Each regional group
is called a “Chapter.” All Dark Egg Legionnaires have small explosives implanted in their
cybernetics, forcing them to remain loyal to Dr. Robotnik. Some notable Grandmasters:
Beauregard “The Baron” Rabbot (1) : Bunnie’s estranged uncle who was roboticized during
the First Robotnik War and transferred to the Great Desert to combat Sand Blast City.
He was nominated for leadership when the Sand Blast City exiles petitioned the Eggman
Empire for protection. His compassion has become fierce protectiveness of those in his
chapter.
Drago & Razorklaw (2&3) : Both are outcasts from their people: Drago for betraying the
Wolf Pack and conspiring to murder Sally, while Razorklaw was dishonored for losing a
duel with Locke. They co-lead a chapter of wolves and cats within Soumerca. Drago is
brash and arrogant, while the grim Razorklaw is far more competent.
Akhult (4) : The chief of the largest pod of orcas in either polar cap. Akhult thirsts for
battle and relishes control. He and his followers use their cybernetically-enhanced sonar to
brainwash or otherwise assault their enemies.
Bill Platypus (5) : A former Downunda Freedom Fighter who once led an uprising of
his people while under mind-control. When his people petitioned for sponsorship by the
Eggman Empire, he agreed to lead them. This was all a ploy to undermine their efforts with
terrible leadership.
Cmd. Hugo Brass (6) : Once one of the top military figures in G.U.N., Cmd. Brass came
to the rescue of his star team, Sigma-Alpha 2. It was a trap set by Dr. Robotnik, and the
entire group was forcibly “legionized” and brainwashed. Under the Iron Queen’s command,
he lead the Egg Paladins in raids against G.U.N. and the United Federation.
Bride of the Conquering Storm (7) : With the defeat of the Iron Dominion in the Dragon
Kingdom, Conquering Storm was quick to petition the Eggman
Empire for support. She resists orders to legionize her lynx
ninja and aims to overthrow Dr. Eggman one day.
Lord Mordred Hood (8) : Once the advisor to Rob o’
the Hedge’s father, Lord Hood has always longed for
power. He's content to cruelly rule Snottingham,
disabling foes with his hypnotic hood.
Diesel (9) : The roughest biker on the
plains of Efrika. With the Biker Bears and
Nasty Hyena Gangs united under him, he
terrorizes all corners of the continent.
The Foreman (10) : The _ biggest,
nastiest nerb you'll ever see. He’s a
slave-driver with a steam-shovel arm.
The Dark Legion dates back 400 years, after the fall of the third Enerjak. Echidnaopolis enacted a
drastic plan in which most of its technology was to be confiscated and stored in the underground
Grand Conservatory. However, many citizens disapproved of what they saw as an insult to their
heritage. Organized by Menniker, they dressed in robes to conceal their identities and met in
secrecy at night, plotting insurrection. Rumors circulated, giving rise to the name “the Dark Legion.”
The group adopted the name to strike fear into those who opposed their mission. Using now-illegal
technology, they nearly sparked a civil war, but were stopped when Guardian Steppenwolf used
his Chaos powers to banish them to the Twilight Cage. The Dark Legion struggled to survive and
took every opportunity to stage invasions of Echidnaopolis. In time, Knuckles and Dimitri started a
peaceful reintegration into normal society, only for the Eggman Empire to nearly wipe them all out.
The Legion reformed to fight back, but then split in civil war. Half of the forces took on fire-based
weaponry and followed Lien-Da as the Flame Legion, while the other half used cryogenic-based
weaponry and followed Remington as his Frost Legion. Then they lost their cybernetics to the magic
of the fourth Enerjak. Many moved on to Albion, tired of the struggle or tired of the Legion itself. The
few left over, desperate for their way of life, went to Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik for new cybernetics
and became his new Dark Egg Legion.

Dimitri (1): He would not take over the Legion until 400 years after his defeat as Enerjak. He took it upon himself
to lead his people until he was betrayed by Lien-Da.
Menniker (2): The founder who preached technology as a way of life. His last act was to conspire with the
Overland to assault Angel Island with nuclear missiles. He and Guardian Aaron battled over the missile, with
Aaron detonating it prematurely, destroying them both.
Moritori Rex (3): He used special ocular implants to spy on the Prime Zone from the Twilight Cage. He learned
the ways of the Guardians before staging an invasion in which he was badly wounded alongside Guardian Tobor.
Rex was mistakenly rescued by the Brotherhood and posed as Tobor for generations. In that time he led
Guardian Spectre’s abduction, caused the death of Guardian Janelle-Li, maintained bases for the Dark Legion
on Angel Island, and mentored his grandchildren from abroad.
Luger (4): A romantic at heart but a poor parent. A workaholic and less aggressive than his forefathers, he was
seen by some as “soft.” He was assassinated by his firstborns, Kragok and Lien-Da.
Kragok (5): He seized control while Lien-Da recovered from an assassination mission he sabotaged. He
succeeded in freeing the legion from the Twilight Cage, but fell to his doom while fighting Guardian Tobor.
Lien-Da (6): Stuck as Kommissar for almost all of her life, she brokered the deal with Dr. Eggman to create the
Dark Egg Legion and betrayed Dimitri to take command of her people.
Dimitri was born to Byron and Angel-La. Inspired by
their ancestors, he and his brother Edmund hoped to
return their Angel Island to Mobius. YOUNG DIMITRI’S
AMBITION TAKES HOLD
They created the Chaos Syphon, a device that would
slowly drain the Chaos Emeralds that held Angel Island up and settle it back into the
Great Crater of Downunda. The plan was unanimously voted down, although the
reasons ranged from fear to political agendas. Dimitri, driven by pride, broke into the
Chaos Chamber and used the Chaos Syphon anyway. In his haste he overloaded the
device. Irradiated by Chaos Energy, he was reborn as Enerjak. He briefly took control
of Angel Island with plans of world domination, but his tower base was brought down
upon him by the Fire-Ants. The resulting skulllike rubble was named Mt. Fate and he
was left for dead. Dimitri stewed in his prison for centuries, growing in power until
erupting as a fully realized Enerjak. He confronted the current Guardian, Knuckles,
and tried to rebuild his home city as a dark version called Nekronopolis. With help from
Guardian Locke and the Fire Ants, Enerjak was trapped in an p
energy matrix within his own tower and launched into orbit. Only
when Mammoth Mogul provided a magical beacon did Enerjak
return. Once back, he took command of the Dark Legion and
led an invasion of Echidnaopolis, only to be drained of his power
by Mogul. Four hundred years caught up with him and the Dark
Legion was forced to preserve him in a robot body.

Now Grandmaster Dimitri, he led them in many attempts at seize


control. No longer Enerjak, his sanity slowly returned. Later, he
used peaceful political means to get the legion back into society.
Then Dimitri's body began to fail him, and Mogul used him as bait
for Knuckles. In the explosive confrontation, Dimitri was rescued
and empowered enough to survive.

Still weak, he was given by Lien-Da to Dr. Finitevus for


research. Dimitris body was disassembled and he
was left as a head in a floating bubble. He endured
under the false promise of being restored as
Enerjak. When he learned the truth, Dimitri
tried to warn the Freedom Fighters, and
then the Eggman Empire. There he
was upgraded and re-instated as
Grandmaster, this time over the
Dark Egg Legion. He continued
to look after them with growing
humility until he was betrayed by
Lien-Da. He was disabled and
hidden in a crate, but was later
rescued by Sonic and Tails.
Humbled, he joined Knuckles
in restoring Haven on Angel
Island. He doesn’t look to lead
now, just to help.
KRAGOK & LIEN-DA
Kragok and Lien-Da are the twin children of Grandmaster
Luger and his first wife, Merin-Da. Their mother caught a fatal
disease during an invasion of Angel Island and was lost when
they were still young. They were furious when their father
remarried and had another daughter, Julie-Su. Fed up with
their father, they took lessons from their grandfather, Moritori
Rex. They eagerly took to his malicious teaching and came
to refer to him as “father.” They later conspired to co-rule
av the Dark Legion after assassinating Luger. Kragok built the
oI ~ weapon, which used an energy signature that would mask
DR. EGGMAN UNVEILS | their involvement, while Lien-Da fired it. Just as Kragok
THE RECONSTRUCTED | planned, the weapon blew up in her hands. While she
LIEN-DA healed, Kragok rose to power unchallenged and kept her
as his second-in-command, or “Kommissar.”

Kragok was notably unstable, given to rage. His tactics were blunt and brutal, and the
legion lived in fearful awe of him. He tried having a family to produce an heir, but his wife
and son appeared to perish in a freak accident. After that he focused entirely on an
invasion of Angel Island and used the bases prepared by his grandfather. Kragok was
part of the invasion of Echidnaopolis led by Enerjak and was arrested after its failure.
While being interrogated by Knuckles, they were transported back to the Twilight Cage
by Knuckles’ Chaos powers. Knuckles escaped, but Kragok was stopped by Guardian
Tobor. They battled within the Twilight Cage for a time before escaping back into the
Prime Zone, and promptly fell to their doom.
Sues
Lien-Da worked from the shadows this entire time as First Appearances
Kragok’s enforcer. Later she served under Grandmaster Kragok: Knuckles the Echidna #1
Dimitri, but she never fully believed in his plans to Lien-Da: Knuckles the Echidna #7
reintegrate into society. She brieflyled a faction of the Dark
Legion called the Flame Legion to conquer Remington’s
Frost Legion and unite them under her. After losing
her cybernetics to the fourth Enerjak, she made a
deal with Dr. Eggman to conscript the legion as
his army in return for new cybernetics - but she
still lost out on the Grandmaster position. Lien-
Da later learned the cybernetics were armed
with explosives. The Iron Queen provided
microchips designed to subvert the bombs,
while making the Dark Egg Legion prone
to her mind control. Lien-Da betrayed
Dimitri and stole a modified chip he
developed, giving herself the ability
to control the entire legion. But
the chip did not protect her from
the Iron Queen’s magic, and it
was only through Dr. Eggman’s
twisted generosity she survived
her explosive punishment.
Enerjak refers to an ancient, malevolent spirit of incredible power.
It has always manifested within an echidna, usually one who
has given in to their hubris. Enerjak has nearly unlimited power,
restricted only by the imagination of the avatar.

The 1 st Force. He and his partner in work and love, Aurora-La, were contacted
E . k bythe Ancient Walkers and shown the Chaos Force's wonders. As they
ne ry a transcended, Enerjak was corrupted by the power; he eventually came
into direct conflict with the Walkers and his former love. Too powerful
to be outright destroyed, he was scattered throughout the Chaos
Force. This ambient spirit would manifest through the later Enerjaks.

Th ps) d Very little is known about this Enerjak. It is said he was another
e = n researcher from Albion, this time looking for a means to fight the
Enerjak Order of Ixis during the Forgotten Wars. The story goes that
the experiment went too well, and that both sides of the conflict
had to call a temporary truce to defeat the common threat.

The 3rd
Enerjak
Rogue scientist of Echidnaopolis, Dimitri,
attempted to use his experimental Chaos
Syphon to drain multiple Chaos Emeralds
to return Angel Island to the mainland.
The overwhelming power transformed
him. This was the least successful
incarnation, having spent most of
his time trapped in some form or
another, until all of his power was
drained by Mammoth Mogul.

Enerjak
Dr. Finitevus sought an Enerjak to cleanse
the world of corruption and evaluated Lien-Da,
Remington and Knuckles as candidates. Dr. Finitevus
put a hex upon the Master Emerald, then baited
Knuckles into tapping its power. Knuckles’ desire to do
good was warped, resulting in almost all echidnas sent
to Albion andthe ruination ofthe Dingo Regime and New
Megaopolis. Knuckles was returned to normal when
his father, Locke, sacrificed himself to break the hex.
BAL TE
Dr. Finitevus was once a Chaos energy researcher in Albion. He was fascinated by old
Echidnaopolis research, including the Chaos Syphon invented by Edmund and Dimitri.
He even went so far as to improve the design, incorporating it into a full-body suit. Dr.
Finitevus got the opportunity to use it when Knuckles the Echidna lost control of his
latent powers and was deemed dangerous by the Albion High Council. Dr. Finitevus
attempted to safely drain “Chaos Knuckles” of his excess power, but Knuckles ended
up overloading the suit. The power coursed through Dr. Finitevus, changing him.

He became a “photo-negative” of the Guardian; he employed complex solutions instead of


simple ones andsoughttobringa violent “cleansing” totheworldratherthanprotectasmall
piece of it. While recovering and under observation, Dr. Finitevus developed his trademark
Warp Ring technology. When the Albion High Council deemed him dangerous and
ordered him euthanized, he easily escaped. Hethen disabled Albion’s defensive measures,
allowing the Eggman Empire’s invasion fleets to launch a surprise attack against the city.

Dr. Finitevus is always searching for ways to end the world. He believes it beyond
hope, that it must be purged so that new, better life can flourish.
He attempted to use an ancient stockpile of nuclear
weapons, but Rouge the Bat disarmed them. He
experimented on the Brotherhood, Moritori Rex
and Dimitri to unlock the mysteries behind Enerjak
and made Knuckles a pawn in his plans for world
destruction. Heshows greatinterestinthe Master
Emerald, seeking new ways to use its power.

Dr. Finitevus is usually reserved, eloguent and


suave. Even in the heat of combat he usually FY
remains collected, even playful. However, ¥
whenever the situation involves Knuckles, he
will often lose his temper, his quiet demeanor
becoming savage. He also has trouble
maintaining his composure when around
those who are making “stupid decisions.”

in Soumerca, the Nocturnus opted to fight
for the land alongside the warrior caste, the Knuckles Clan. The comradery didn't
last long. Ideological differences between the leaders soon had the clans at each
other's throats. Chief Pachacamac led his people down a more reactionary path
while Imperator Pir’Oth Ix pushed the Nocturnus Clan towards rapid scientific
advances. The Nocturnus should've rolled over the Knuckles Clan with little
effort, but they mysteriously vanished into the Twilight Cage before they got the
chance. The incident of their transportation is known simply as the “Argus Event.”

Once in the Twilight Cage, the Nocturnus found themselves surrounded by equally
conquest-thirsty alien races. The Nocturnus applied their old tactics to their new
home. Their quick, brutal raids on their neighbors earned them the nickname
“the Marauders,” which they eventually took as their own. It
wasn't long before they had conquered the entire
dimension. Some time later, descendants
of the Second Downunda Colony - the
Dark Legion - arrived in the zone. Due
to their origin and their comparatively
inferior technology, the Dark Legion
was not given the “honor” of being

THE DINGO SANDOPOLIS CAMP

The Dingoes were once a race of nomads. Small families and larger communities
wandered, traded and fought all across Downunda, which probably protected
them from the First Downunda Colony. By the time of the Second Downunda
Colony, the structure of their society had shifted. The many family-tribes had united
or conquered others until there was one massive tribe. Small family groups still
existed, but they were nothing before this army of Dingoes. The early Dingo Regime gained all its
advances through conquest. The highly advanced city of Echidnaopolis was a prize they couldn't
ignore, and only the assistance of the Fire-Ants kept the Echidnas safe through their first few years.
Because of the Great White Comet and the formation of Angel Island, the Dingo Regime was
forced into close-quarters with their rivals. They continued to steal and adapt Echidna technology,
developing into a fairly modern military state. Eventually, the top general of the time decided to
initiate a nuclear strike on Echidnaopolis, ignorant of the risk to his people or the island. While the
missiles were intercepted, their fallout poisoned the entire island. As a result, Guardian Hawking
used a device known as the Hyper Zone Projector to move each civilization on the island to its
own pocket dimension. For generations, the Dingo Regime survived
in its zone until the effects of the Ultimate Annihilator forced them
back into the Prime Zone. The process destroyed their city of Cave
Canem. For a time they were forced into serving the Echidnas or living
in destitution. Their leader, Gen. Helmut von Stryker, tried to rally them
and petition for equality until the Eggman Empire invaded. Helmut’s
son, Kage, made a deal with Dr. lvo “Eggman” Robotnik to arm the ;
Dingo Regime in return for serving the empire. Helmut opposed :
dealing with the tyrant and was exiled to the Sandopolis Desert.

Cave Canem was rebuilt by echidna slave labor and the Dingo Regime
ruled unchallenged for a time. It wasn’t until the fourth Enerjak
that their hold was truly broken. Gen. Kage von Stryker and his city KAGE &
were vaporized while the rest of the Dingo Regime was stripped GERBIL
of their gear and banished to the Sandopolis Desert.

He made himself ruler of Mobius, but his reign was short when his cruelty sparked
rebellion. Seeing his abuse of power, the Ancient Walkers cursed his gem so that
his plans would always fail. Dethroned, Mogul spent ages developing his powers. He
invented and perfected Ixis magic. Many were drawn to his power and he taught them
in return for their loyalty, creating the Order of Ixis. As “Ixis Mogul” he tried to conquer
the world, but was opposed by the Albion Knights of Aurora. The Order’s magic was
matched with the Knights’ technology, and the battles raged across the planet.

All records of the generations-long battle are lost; thus this period is called “The Forgotten
Wars.” During this time the First Downunda Colony was founded, cybernetics were invented,
andthe mutates appeared. It maybethatthe Days of Fury began here, anditis rumored Mogul

Over the centuries he traveled, studied and went by various titles. He didn’t make another
serious move until after the First Robotnik War. Using the Sword of Acorns and the power of
the third Enerjak, Mogul transformed into Master Mogul andtriedto conquerthe world again,
but his cursed Chaos Emerald ensured his defeat and he was sealed in the Master Emerald.

But three worked together: Agunus Bhino was a master of earth-magic, Nusgau Bat of
air-magic, and Suguna Lobster of water-magic. Each taught the other while investigating the
Order’s past. Eventually, they competed for the remaining element: fire. Their vicious rivalry
returned, and the three were last seen struggling towards the Sun to claim its power. The
mixing of powers fused the three into Ixis Naugus. He made himself Royal Wizard to King
Fredric Acorn. From Mobotropolis he created a doorway to the Zone of Silence. When he
felt threatened by Nate Morgan, he conspired with the Warlord Kodos and had Nate framed
for treason.

As the Great War loomed, Naugus escaped into his zone. Julian Kintobor sealed the exit.
Naugus was almost god-like in the Zone of Silence. He perfected crystalline magic, using it to
protect the zone’s other prisoners - if they served him.

Over ten years later he escaped, planning to conquer the

down and he was sealed back in the Zone of Silence with the
help of Nate Morgan.

Naugus was summoned back by the Arachne, but was

When Dr. Robotnik conquered the world, many heroic people
banded together to fight his tyranny. Unfortunately, many also
appeared to prey upon those made vulnerable by the mad
doctor’s conquest. Cruel and dishonest, they'll do just about
anything to take advantage of others’ misfortune. This is just a
sampling of the scum of Mobius:
“Downtown” Ebony Hare (1) - A self-styled gangster who
talks big and acts tough. He fancies himself a criminal
mastermind and deals in dangerous substances.
Foxy Reynard (2) - The pretty face that’s always next
to Downtown. She may play ditzy, she may even believe it
herself, but under the glamour and sass is a shrewd business
mind.
Blackjack Bulldog (8) - A mountain of muscle that proves when you try to beat the
house, the house beats you. He’s a thug of few words - and few independent
thoughts - who is usually found backing up Downtown’s bragging.
Renfield T. Rodent (4) - He’s a man obsessed with a dream: to create a grand
amusement park. Finding funding and support for such a project in this war-torn era is
hard, and Renfield will do any dirty deed to achieve his grandiose goal.
Ripper T. Rodent (5) - Renfield’s brother and a self-styled luchador. He constantly
dyes his fur and reinvents his image in a quest to be the most celebrated performance
athlete on Mobius. He has plenty of style and flair, but he has a terrible record in the
fighting ring.
Nicolette “Nic” Weasel (6) - Nack’s estranged twin sister. She’s not as ruthless as
her more famous kin, but no less motivated. She seems to have
vanished from Mobius with rumors ranging from retirement
to being eliminated by her over-competitive brother.

methods, they don’t come across as
true villains; they may simply be good people gone astray.

Bark is a walking enigma. No one knows where he comes from, why he sells his strength,
or why he tolerates Bean. It doesn’t help matters that he seems to be mute, although it
could be he’s gotten used to not being able to get a word in around Bean. What is known
is that he is incredibly strong, possibly rivaling Mighty the Armadillo in raw power. His
long arms also make him a formidable grappler.

Bean is likewise a mystery, but not because of silence. In fact, just about everything he
says is senseless. Manic and rarely lucid, he is easily distracted by shiny objects. Despite
this, he does seem to have his moments of clarity and these reveal him to be a shrewd,
even cunning character. Bean can create small explosives of limited power from thin air
and throws them with surprising accuracy.

Origins for Bean vary wildly. Some say he was the result of a bioweapon / dark magic
hybrid by Drs. Bin and Pin of the Battle Bird Armada. Others claim he’s a long-lost
mutate from the Forgotten Wars. Some believe he’s an alien life form desperately trying
to fit in on Mobius. Bean won't confirm anything - indeed, he’d
probably offer another zany answerifasked.
All that’s known for sure is he has some
past with the Babylon Rogues and
Battle Bird Armada. This odd couple
sticks together through thick and
thin and seem to honestly respect
and care about each other... that
is, when Bark isn’t frustrated with
Bean's crazy antics.
The Destructix are mercenaries for hire. They
started as the Fearsome Foursome - agents
of Mammoth Mogul. The roster has changed
a lot over the years. They do anyone's dirty
work for the right price.
*Founding Fearsome Foursome
* *Ex-Member
Sgt. Simian* (1) - Simon was exiled for being
too violent and militant. He was given great
strength by Mammoth Mogul. When his people
became the Gorilla Army, it was Simon’s turn to
reject them.
Predator Hawk* (2) - An ex-agent of the Battle Bird
Armada and the Babylon Rogues. A man of few words,
he accepted a gift of increased flying power from Mogul to
allow him greater skill in taking down targets.
Flying Frog* (3) - Aconvict from Mercia,
Flying is constantly babbling and grinning-
usually at nothing readily apparent. He’s
incredibly swift and has limited gliding
ability via his patagium. If he made a deal
with Mogul, no one knows - he’s never
said, and he rarely makes sense.
Lightning Lynx* (4) - An ex-agent of the
Raiju Clan, he was exiled for professing his
love to the clan’s Bride. He was granted THE ORIGINAL
a brief reprieve, then exiled again when he lost a FEARSOME
duel of honor against Sonic. He’s nearly Sonic-like FOURSOME ATTACK
in his speed (thanks to Mogul) and his heightened THE CHAOTIX
senses allow him to track even Espio.
Fiona Fox (5) - A rogue of all trades, Fiona joined
the Destructix after betraying the Freedom Fighters. She’s taken over as the
team leader and does all the deal-making for them.
Sleuth Dawg* * (6) - A former member of the Spy Network who betrayed his
comrades to Dr. Robotnik. After a brief stint in jail with the others, he stuck
around as their liaison and lead strategist. He gave the position to Fiona, opting
to live out of the public eye in these dangerous times.
Drago Wolf* * (7) - Atraitor to the Wolf Pack who helped in a plot to kill Sally
Acorn. Strong but stupid, he was the team’s whipping boy. Eventually Drago
had enough and joined the Dark Egg Legion.
Kodos Lion* * (8) - He briefly led the team after their jailbreak, but abandoned
them when they were once again arrested.
Uma Arachnis* * (9) - She followed Kodos when he led the team, then escaped
with him.
Snively Robotnik* * (10) - He was their ae! leader stale the alae
and while Kodos was the active leader. He i
was abducted by Dr. Robotnik, ending his time
with the team.
Nack the Weasel* * (11) - Nack mostly
hung around the team out of circumstance
and later left on his own.

marksmanship
Gadgets: Nack has a wide array of weapons, |
traps and devices, many of which are built
into the Marvelous Queen.
Nack the Weasel, sometimes known as _ — _4
“Fang the Sniper,” is a rare wolf-weasel
hybrid. He’s known for his trademark snaggletooth,
his array of weapons, and his versatile hover-bike,
the Marvelous Queen. Nack is a mercenary of
much renown, tracking down both treasure and
individuals. He’s captured or overcome Sonic the
Hedgehog four times. Nack usually prefers to work
alone for the sake of speed, efficiency and so he
doesn't have to share the reward. He has worked
with his twin sister, Nic the Weasel, on the odd
occasion, but his rivalry with her is legendary.

For a brief time he worked with the Destructix, but


that didn’t serve his interests. His most disastrous NACK WITH JEFF,
team-up was with three other weasels named Jeff, KARL AND KONOR |
Karl and Connor. They plotted to kidnap and ransom
Princess Sally Acorn, but things fell apart and the
lackeys were arrested. Nack was captured later,
only to find his gang bulked up and very displeased
about being left behind. When the opportunity
arose, Nack snuck out of prison -
but not before fatally poisoning the
gang's food. His last job featured
Bean and Bark in his employ, but
ended in disaster.

Nack has a running grudge with


both Sonic and Sally. While he’s
successfully caught Sonic
multiple times, extenuating
circumstances have
made him lose him or the
reward. Sally personally
gave him both insult and
injury. So while he remains
professional on most jobs,
he especially enjoys the
chance to take shots at the
Freedom Fighters.
The Iron Queen was born Regina Ferrum in the Overland capital of
MegaCentral. She grew up as part of a technomagic cult where she
learned to control electric impulses and thus machinery. Technomagic
was illegal in the Overland, and her entire cult was arrested. Due to
her youth, she was let off “easy” with exile. Regina began to wander
the world right as the Great War exploded around her. Alone and
miserable, she vowed her cult’s ways would return and conquer
Mobius. She made her way to the Dragon Kingdom where she met REGINA WITH
the ox warlord Jun Kun. With his weapons and ancient machinery, the SNIVELY
two teamed up to take over the Dragon Kingdom. But up against the
region's Four Houses and free people, they faced a litany of defeats
until Dr. lvo Robotnik arrived looking to expand his global empire.
Regina managed to convince him to sponsor them as his sub-bosses,
and the duo became the Iron King and Queen.

Despite the support from Dr. Robotnik their enemies remained too
numerous. A break came when Jun Kun destroyed the Bride of Rich
Nights and Regina took control of the Yagyu Clan. Through trickery,
the Iron Queen used the clan to aid and fight the others at the same

able to force them into swearing fealty to her. Bearing the title of the

The Four Houses are separate ninja clans that have


warred for centuries to control the Dragon Kingdom. Each
one has their reasons, and none seem to care especially
for the free people caught in the crossfire. Each house is

took the first opportunity to travel to
Mobotropolis and see what opportunities awaited him across the ocean. There
he joined the royal military. His skill and cunning saw him quickly rise through the
ranks until he was named warlord of all the king’s forces. However, his ego drove
him to see the military and even the royal family as weak. He began plotting to take
the Kingdom of Acorn for himself, but before he could act, the Overland began
pushing the kingdom’s borders. Kodos conspired with the royal wizard of the time,
Ixis Naugus, to rob King Maximillian Acorn of wiser council and actively ensured
tensions reached a breaking point. He was overjoyed when war was declared in
3220. However, the Overlanders proved to be too strong. Soon their forces had
marched on the capital and the citizens had gone into hiding. Kodos won back the
castle, but the war was being lost. Then an Overlander defector, Julian Kintobor,
came to them. Kodos despised Overlanders, but the cunning and ruthlessness of
Julian appealed to him. He taught him all he knew as a warlord and then showed him
his plans for taking over the kingdom after the war. Kodos’s moment of trust was
poorly chosen - Julian turned on him and tossed him into the Zone of Silence.

Within the zone, Kodos faced monsters and other exiles. He was reunited with Ixis
Naugus, who offered him protection from the effects of the zone in return for fealty.
Kodos agreed only to save himself. Later, Kodos returned to the Prime
Zone and came into command of a group of convicts,
most of whom would later become the
Destructix. Kodos eventually settled in the
sewers of Robotropolis, plotting there
while unaware of its toxic radiation. He
tried to steal the Sword of Acorns

while successful, he was eventually

The Battle Bird Armada stems from an ancient culture often referred to as
the “Babylonians.” While half of these ancient people embraced travel and
independence, the other half adopted a strict militaristic lifestyle under the family
of the Battlekukku. Looking to unify their people, the Battle Bird Armada joined
the Eggman Empire for support. Essentially a chapter within the greater Dark
Egg Legion, the soldiers of the Armada enjoy advanced technology (such as
anti-gravity/ flight units in their armor] and weaponry. The Armada succeeded in
locating and raising the lost floating city of Babylon with the aid of the Babylon
Rogues, severely damaging New Mobotropolis in the process. However, thanks
to Sonic and the Babylon Rogues, the city and the Armada’s Battle Fortress
were crashed in the mountains.
Dr. Fukurokov (1) - An old owl who manages to be a competent inventor and
advisor despite his apparent scatterbrainedness. His loyalty to the Armada
comes second only to his own creations.

Battlekukku XV a.k.a. The Battle Lord (2) -The current top commander
of the Armada. He sees his service to Dr. Eggman as temporary and plans
on conquering Mobius once he’s rounded up all the “wayward members” of
his kind. He seems to posses mysterious powers, some similar to Bean the
Dynamite Duck.

Battlekukku XVI a.k.a. Speedy (3) - Speedy is everything his father was in his
younger days: fast, powerful and arrogant. Unlike his father, Speedy will show
respect to those capable of keeping up with him. He has a deeply personal
grudge against Jet the Hawk after being snubbed years ago. Despite his
loyalty to his father, he does question his “wisdom” from time to time.

The Babylon Rogues generally refers to a loose-knit community of deserters from the
Battle Bird Armada. They travel the world doing whatever they please; more often than
not searching out clues to their mysterious ancestry. The trio of Jet the Hawk, Storm the
Albatross and Wave the Swallow have become the most famous deserters of the Armada,
and took the name “Babylon Rouges” for themselves. These Babylon Rogues travel the world
in a speedy dirigible that offers them housing, a small workshop, and carries them greater
distances than their Extreme Gear could manage. Each of them has a personalized Extreme
Gear - or hoverboards - that allow them to travel quickly and flashily over all terrain.
Jet the Hawk (1) -The speedy, loud-mouthed leader of the Rogues. He
dreams of riches and of unearthing the secrets of his people - hopefully both
at once. Known as the “Legendary Wind Rider,” he’s hopelessly arrogant. He
also harbors a personal vendetta against the Armada beyond the age-old
schism between factions.

Storm the Albatross (2) - The muscle of the team, and definitely not the
brains. He follows all of Jet’s orders happily and eagerly and rarely thinks for
himself. He’s often frustrated by Wave's fragile equipment and use of big
words.

Wave the Swallow (3) - The team’s short-


tempered mechanic. She develops and
maintains all of their Extreme Gear. She’s
also the most grounded of the three,
usually shooting down some of Jet’s
crazier schemes. She has very little
patience for Storm’s stupidity or
clumsiness, too.

To understand the Cosmic Interstate, one


first has to understand the multiverse - the
grand array of alternate realities. The Mobius
and Sonic the Hedgehog we're most familiar
with are of the Prime Zone. The Prime Zone
is the core of the multiverse; all alternate
realities are variations upon this zone.

“Zone” itself usually refers to an alternate

reality - an entire dimension. It can also

refer to smaller “pocket dimensions” like the

Special Zone. It has also sometimes been
used to describe regions on Mobius, but that
terminology is falling out of use.

The Cosmic Interstate, sometimes called the Interdimensional Highway,


is a network of roads that connect all the zones of the multiverse. Its
white, featureless roads twist and wind around each other in a perpetual

of the No Zone.

Zonic is a Zone Cop, a member of the massive Zone Cops


Corps that monitors and polices the Cosmic Interstate and
the multiverse in general. He is an alternate version of Sonic
the Hedgehog, and while he’s just as dashing and daring,
he is much more serious about his duties and committed
to rules and regulations.. Zonic and his fellow Zone Cops
come from the No Zone, also called the Perpendicular Zone.
This zone is unique in that it intersects all the other zones
of the multiverse; because of this peculiar arrangement,
those from the No Zone appear to stand horizontally when
in other zones. Likewise, any visitors to the No Zone find
themselves sideways unless given special equipment to keep
them upright. Zonic and the Zone Cops are all equipped with
advanced technology that allows them to easily enter and exit
other zones. Their suits have limited flight capabilities, allowing
them to navigate other zones while sideways. They also have
small gauntlet-mounted blasters in the event diplomacy fails ZONE COPS
when tracking a perpetrator. Policing the entire multiverse is PATROL THE

Oddly enough, all their names begin with “Z” (yes, that means

all the Zone Cops had to worry about
was the occasional criminal crossing

now the entire zone is in a pitched

Blaze the Cat is both a princess and the Guardian of the seven Sol Emeralds
and Jeweled Scepter. Due to her connection with the Sol Emeralds, she is both
blessed and cursed with pyrokinetic powers. The dangerous nature of her powers
has isolated her, giving her a somewhat cold demeanor. While often grimly serious,
her adventures with Sonic the Hedgehog has softened her somewhat (but not
lessened her fear of heights]. Blaze sometimes travels with Marine the Raccoon,
a vivacious girl with a talent in building sea craft and dreams of being a captain.
Marine lives and works on Seagull Island with the Coconut Crew, a youth group
of koalas. While Marine can wear on Blaze’s nerves, the princess does have a
fondness for her. Much of Blaze’s world is ocean with hundreds of islands peppering
the surface. Some of the larger islands are built up with modern technology and
architecture while most of the smaller islands remain lush, pristine environments.
An important local resource is generally called “material” - minerals of varying
colors and consistencies that prove to be incredibly versatile in building any
number of devices. While mostly peaceful, the world is plagued by the pirate
Captain Whisker and his robot crew. He is accompanied by his tiny minions Min
and Mum, while the arrogant Johnny serves as a speedy, powerful protector.
Whether Captain Whisker is a native to Blaze’s world or a creation of either Dr.
Robotnik or Dr. Eggman Nega is unknown.

The Sol Emeralds are square-shaped gems with the


same colors and very similar properties to the Chaos
Emeralds. They exist exclusively on Blaze the Cat’s
homeworld, and she is their Guardian. Their
power has both blessed and cursed her with
incredible pyrokinetic powers. Thanks to
Dr. Nega’s conquest, many remain lost
in the multiverse. The Jeweled Scepter
is an ornate device that resembles a
shepard’s hook. Usually resting deep
in the core of Blaze’s homeworld, it
serves as the anchor and stabilizing
link between Blaze’s world and
Mobius. Why this strange device
links the two worlds, how, and why
it is buried on Blaze’s world are all
unknown.

“Evil Sonic” or “Anti-Sonic (1),” and was more
of a nuisance than a threat.

He briefly switched places with Sonic and began hitting on all the girls of Knothole
while maintaining the ruse with Patch, the Evil Antoine who had lived as the original
for months. When Sonic returned from Moebius, Evil Sonic ended up escaping with
Rouge the Bat. Together they plotted to steal the Master Emerald, but they were
stopped by Guardian Locke. Evil Sonic attempted to go “super” off the Master Emerald
but was interrupted mid-transformation by Locke. The incident changed the hedgehog
drastically; bearing green fur and twin scars, he renamed himself
Scourge. This also led to a shift in mentality, which proved
attractive to Fiona Fox, one of the girls he had wooed
while pretending to be Sonic. The two eventually went
to Moebius to take it over. As King Scourge (2), he
forced massive overhauls on his planet before
leading an invasion of Mobius. While he and
his Suppression Squad held Freedom HQ
for a few days, he was eventually defeated
by Sonic and arrested by the Zone Cops.
After a brief stint under the watchful eye
of Warden Zobotnik, Scourge was sprung
by Fiona and the Destructix, returning to
Moebius.

dark, twisted version of Mobius Prime. Instead of having a
few powerful villains, the world is overrun with selfish, terrible
people. Instead of being protected by many heroes, Moebius is
barely protected by a few. Where there is bravery on Mobius
Prime there is cowardice on Moebius, and so on. In this world
there are hundreds of green gems called Anarchy Beryl. Like
Chaos Emeralds, they have incredible magical properties,
but their energies are negative and corrosive. A super-state
(like Super Sonic) would wear out the user despite granting
unlimited power. Power rings on Moebius are much rarer and
the gifts they bestow often come with a twisted side-effect,
as seen in the insane Rosy the Rascal (3). During its Great
Peace, Moebius culturally stagnated. Only when an early
version of the Suppression Squad began causing trouble did
things change, although not for the better.
Instead of the flying Angel Island, Moebius features the sunken
Demon Island protected by Overseer O’Nux (4) and his
Orderix enforcers. Its city Atlantinopolis (5) has a protective
energy dome powered by six small pieces of Anarchy Beryl as
opposed to Master Emerald.
The world suffered a shift in identity when Scourge the Hedgehog used the full extent

had barren, floating chunks of land and was populated by groveling, barely-sentient
monsters. The properties of the zone eventually caused deafness and madness,
forcing anyone trapped within to subject themselves to Naugus’s crystalline magic
for protection. The other half of the zone came from another pocket dimension
known as the Void. It was similar to the Zone of Silence in many ways but was far
more stable and easier to both enter and leave. It was combined with the Zone
of Silence by Ixis Naugus to increase overall stability. Dr. lvo “Eggman” Robotnik
sought to harness the power of this new, improved Zone of Silence through his
Egg Grapes. However, thanks to the efforts of Anonymous, most of his Egg Grapes
were lost to the zone itself. Not long after, as Anonymous’s plans came to fruition,
Turbo Tails and Super Shadow used their combined talents to seal the hundreds
of gathered Chaos Emeralds inside the zone. The surge in power was snatched up
by Feist; he revamped the zone and condensed the Emeralds to seven. Everything
within the zone was wiped clean and recreated anew, resulting in the Special Zone
now under his rule.

The Twilight Cage, sometimes called the “Twilight Zone,”


is an inhospitable pocket dimension. It is a zone wrapped
in perpetual twilight and filled with barren, floating
islands of rock. The zone is notoriously difficult to access
and even harder to leave. Most of the inhabitants are
there against their will; they refer to their transfer as the
“Argus Event,” since the name “Argus” lingered in their
minds after the incident. Each race was at their peak,
prepared to wage violent conquest on their respective DR FINITEVUS

Steppenwolf. They were shunned by the Nocturnus Clan and left to fend for themselves.
Supplemented by stolen Nocturnus technology, the Legion made several attempts to
escape and eventually succeeded.

master, Imperator Ix, researches the energies of the zone to empower himself.
Dark Legion (2) - The technologically-inferior descendants of the Nocturnus Clan many

The Maginary world is a zone from which the dreams of all other zones
originate. The zone is normally controlled by Illumina, a goddess who
uses the magical Master Precioustone to manage all the dreams.

Trouble arose when Illumina, in a moment of self doubt, split into and
manifested as two aspects of herself. One was Lumina Flowlight, the
fairy-like spirit who embodied all the positive properties of Illumina.
The other was Void, a dark spirit who was the manifestation of
Illumina’s doubts and the zone’s nightmares. Void shattered the
Master Precioustone, creating the many Precioustones. Lumina
called upon Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy Rose to help gather up
the Precioustones throughout the Maginaryworld and restore
the Master Prescioustone. The true origin of Lumina and
Void was uncovered, and the two merged to restore
lumina.

In another zone variant of Mobius, Sonic
the Hedgehog travels the world with his
bother, Manic, and his sister, Sonia. The
three children were born to Queen Aleena
Hedgehog, ruler of Mobius. When her children
were still very young, she was contacted by
the Oracle of Delphius who warned her of Dr.
Robotnik’s impending rise to power, but also
of how she and her children would one day QUEEN ALEENA WITH
assemble as the Council of Four and bring HER THREE CHILDREN
justice back to Mobius. Queen Aleena hid her
children away and went into hiding when Dr. Robotnik attacked. The siblings
were separated; while Sonic was raised by simple country folk, and then later
his “uncle” Chuck, Sonia was raised by nobility and Manic was raised amongst
thieves. The three were eventually reunited and set on their quest by the Oracle
of Delphius, and now work together as the band and underground resistance
movement called “Sonic Underground.” Each of the siblings carries a special
medallion that transforms into their signature musical instrument or a weapon.

Weeetians (1) - Homeworld: Weeet - These towering
beings appear to be living suits of armor. They value
scientific study and exploration, but often times have
difficulty recognizing other sentient races as equals.
Blodex (2) - Homeworld: Thoraxia - An ant-like race who

warmongering, hornet-like neighbors, the Bzzz, but were rescued by Sonic.
Bem (3) - Homeworld: Argentium - An all-female race, they share one name and
differentiate by a numbered “surname.” They pursue science and knowledge all over,
such as the deroboticization of Mobius. Due to their organizational skills and solid
government, they served as an example for most other races.
D’novulands (4) - Homeworld: D’novuland - A race devoted to trade and the

called the “Babble Node.” They possess rubbery,

The Xorda first came to Earth thousands of years ago. Their
ambassador was not well received,
and itwas quickly captured
and dissected by Humans. The Xorda retaliated without
mercy and rained the Gene Bombs upon Earth. Almost
all life was reduced to a primordial soup; however,
it would eventually give rise to the mobosaurs
and, much later, the Mobians and Overlanders
of today. The Xorda returned to Earth - now
Mobius - thousands of years later. Although the
Mobians tried to promote peace, the Xorda deemed
Mobian life too similar to that of the Earthlings of
old and attacked once more. The combined efforts
of everyone in the world managed to drive them
back while Sonic the Hedgehog successfully disarmed
their mightiest weapon: the Quantum Dial, a device that
creates a localized black hole on the target planet.

The Xorda resemble giant brains with a single, massive


eye and many octopus-like tentacles. They communicate
xXORDA through powerful telepathy, and they are known for
their vicious and warlike nature. It was expected that
they would return to finish their work on Mobius, but they became deadlocked in a
war with the Black Arms and haven't been seen or heard from since.

The Black Arms are a race that makes the Xorda look cuddly. A hive mind controlled
by the cruel Black Doom, they travel from world to world in their mobile
homeworld - the Black Comet. They settle on a world after
seeding it with their agents, paralyze the residents
with a neurotoxin, and then consume the entire
populace. They had established Shadow the
Hedgehog as their agent fifty years ago and
were on their way to feast upon Mobius,
but they caught the ire of the Xorda
as they passed. The Xorda laid claim
to Mobius’s destruction, and the
Black Arms weren’t about to let
their impending feast be denied
to them. Their war rages across

The Master Emerald’s origin


began six hundred years ago
when Mobius had many green Chaos Emeralds. Twelve were harvested by the
scientists Jordann and Kayla-La to lift Angel Island into the sky and avoid the Great
White Comet. Two hundred years later, brothers Edmund and Dimitri proposed a
plan to return Angel Island to the surface by draining the power from the emeralds
with their Chaos Syphon. Their plan was rejected but Dimitri used the device anyway.
He consumed the power of eleven of the Chaos Emeralds, becoming the third Enerjak.
He was defeated, and only the one emerald kept Angel Island aloft.

Four hundred years later, Guardian Knuckles obtained another Chaos Emerald. Soon
after, Mammoth Mogul drew Enerjak back and then used the Sword of Acorns to
drain his energy and add it to the power of his own Emerald. Now Master Mogul, he
battled Super Sonic, Hyper Knuckles and Turbo Tails, among many others. Master
Mogul, desperate for an edge, attempted to take the last two Emeralds on Angel Island,
but Guardians Sabre and Locke used their own control over the Chaos energies to
invert the power flow. The surprise result was one massive emerald with Moguls life-
essence trapped inside. This was the beginning of the Master Emerald.

Later, Dr. Eggman shattered the Master Emerald to create shards to feed Chaos,
which set Mogul free. Knuckles retrieved the pieces of the Master Emerald and, with
the aid of the Brotherhood, reconstructed the gem. The Master Emerald has powers
beyond those of the Chaos Emeralds. It can potentially grant someone a super-state
by itself, and its power can neutralize the other Emeralds. While anyone can tap into
its power at will, only a few can use its full potential. The best way is to use “Tikal’s

Chaos Emeralds are mysterious gems of unimaginable magic power. Their
ultimate origin is unknown, but during Anonymous’s plan to summon them from
across the cosmos, some trends arose:
The Green Emeralds came from Mobius; The Cyan Emeralds came from
Weeet; The Blue Emeralds came from Xorda; The Red Emeralds came from
Thoraxia; The Purple Emeralds came from Teragosa 6; The Yellow Emeralds
came from the star that consumed E.V.E.; The Silver Emeralds came from
Argentum.
They were all sealed in the Special Zone, where Feist combined them into the
seven gems of today. The different colors do not possess any special properties,
but they each hold limitless power. They seem to be the physical manifestation
of the Chaos Force - the all-encompassing energy of the universe.

These are not to be confused with the seven Super Emeralds,


which were in fact the Seven Servers: powerful chao who
aided Tikal in sealing Chaos in the Black Chaos Emerald.
As for the Black Chaos Emerald, also known as the Ancient
Onyx, it does not appear to be a true Chaos Emerald.

Power Rings, also called “magic rings,” are a natural


by-product of the Chaos Emerald’s magic. They are energy

“Super Forms’ refer to the transformations an elite few can undergo when exposed to vast amounts
of Chaos energy, often via seven Chaos Emeralds, Sol Emeralds or the Master Emerald. These super
forms increase the individual's innate talents while usually granting flight and invulnerability. The effects
do not last forever, however. If the super form is obtained by using Anarchy Beryl, the user's life is at
potential risk. While they gain all the same powers and perks as they would normally, when they
de-power they are highly drained. More than a few minutes could prove fatal. Likewise, it is unknown how
harmful it might be if just anyone tried to “go super.” There is also an even rarer super form that can
come from excessive consumption of power rings. The number of rings needed is unknown - it could be
hundreds, it could be thousands - but it grants the users vast elemental magical talent.

appears over Never Lake once a year for a month. Little Planet is steeped in
mystery and hosts a number of advanced urban settings that are perfectly
integrated with their natural environments. If there is anyone living there,
they don’t make themselves known.

Little Planet hosts the seven Time Stones. Their colors are blue, green,
cyan, orange, purple, yellow and red. Possessing one allows the user to
move to almost any point in time at
will. Collecting all seven is rumored
to grant the power to reshape
time itself. Little Planet was
a closely guarded secret
of Albion and watched
over closely by its
steward, the latest
being King Rob ‘o the
Hedge, so the threat
of invaders is low.

There are rumors


of other protectors
of the Time Stones.
Some say a great and
powerful owl spirit,
Nicholas O’Tyme,
decides who may
use them. Others
say that an
elite few guard
Little Planet
throughout
time and go by
the name of
the Knights
of Kronos.
Whether these
are true or
merely rumors
remains to be seen.
Simply put, the Source of All is everything. It was the basic
building block for the entire universe. It is the stuff that makes
up stuff, so to speak. After the creation of the universe, only a
small portion of the pure Source of All remained. It appeared
as a shimmering pool of liquid gold and silver. This pool was
discovered by King Julius Acorn and integrated into the
royal family’s rites of ascension. When the heir entered
early adolescence, he would submerge himself in the pool FOR A TIME,
and be shown glimpses of his past, present and future. When SALLY BECAME
he emerged, the run-off would be collected and forged into the ONE WITH THE
crown and sword he would carry all through his reign. SOURCE OF ALL

Because of this magical bond, the Sword and Crown of Acorns held a special place in
the life of each Acorn king. When separated, such as when the king was in danger, the
crown would vanish into the “Hall of Limbo” - a code phrase meaning the very mind of the
king. Once the king was again safe, his possession of the sword would return the crown.
In the hands of anyone else, tools crafted of the Source of All would act as amplifiers
and conduits for magical power. Even a novice could achieve
master-level techniques with just the sword in hand. The pool
itself was hidden deep within the catacombs of Castle Acorn
in Old Mobotropolis, and even after conquering the city, Dr.
Ivo Robotnik never found the pool. However, when the city
was leveled in a nuclear strike, the pool was vaporized. All that
remained were sword and crown of King Maximillian Acorn.
These were fought over by hero and villain alike until they
finally fell into the hands of Mammoth Mogul, who exerted
his will over them and corrupted their power. The paladin
Sir Connery used his very life-force, channeled through the
Sword of Light, to dispel the dark power and destroy both
the sword and crown. Now a crown of regular materials
sits on King Ixis Naugus’s head and the Sword of
Light serves as the new Sword of Acorns.
However, the true tools of the Source
of All, and any pure traces of °
it, are gone.
THE TORNADO
An agile biplane, the Tornado is perhaps the most
famous of Freedom Fighter vehicles. Tails takes
the position of pilot, maintaining his place since the
earliest versions of the Tornado. (1) Armed with short
range homing missiles, twin blasters and a massive
thrust engine, it can take on even the fighters of the
G.U.N. airforce. The Tornado
has gone through many
iterations; a predecessor
was known as “Winged
Victory.” (3) The current
Tornado (4) takes off from
its landing strip at g
King Frederic
Airfield. (2)

FREEDOM FIGHTER
SPECIAL
The Freedom Fighter Special is the
pinnacle of aircraft used by the Freedom
Fighters. Capable of nearly orbital flight
and mach speed flight in-atmosphere, it
was loaded with the most sophisticated
technology on-hand at the time. It was
later upgraded by Rotor but destroyed
in the bombing of Knothole; a nanite-built
version now exists.
THE BATHYSPHERE
The Bathysphere was Rotor’s _ personal
submarine for years. While it did see some use,
it was scuttled and otherwise sunk on three
separate occasions. This may be in part because
it was mostly for research and transportation
and wasn’t outfitted with any weaponry.

THE SEA FOX


The Sea Fox is Tails’s personal submarine. It was
built by Rotor as a novelty for the young Tails to play
around in, but the enterprising pup managed to
get it working. Armed with sub-surface-to-
air missiles, depth charges, blasters and
a massive drill on its front, it’s quite the
beastly ocean vessel. It also has modular
sidecars for other passengers.

MOBO-CRUISER
‘ %) The Mobo-Cruiser is an all-terrain vehicle with a
Z detachable personnel carrier hitch at the rear. Built by
Rotor Walrus and Miles “Tails” Prower, this rough-and-

New Megaopolis by the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix,
and when Elias took his family to Feral Forest.

Warp Rings: Sonic the Hedgehog #139
Star Posts: Sonic the Hedgehog #170

Warp Rings are the invention of Dr.


Finitevus. They appear as massive,
floating power rings and act as gateways.
A Warp Ring opened in one place can exit on an
entirely different continent. The exact way they work is
unclear, but it seems that all the user must do is activate them
while thinking of their destination. Dr. Finitevus, however, seems
to be the only one with the skill and understanding needed to use
them as offensive and defensive weaponry, or to access other
zones without outside assistance. Silver the Hedgehog once
used a Super Warp Ring to travel from his time two hundred
years in the future, across Mobius, and then across zones.
E | Where he got it and how it was created is unknown.
The Star Posts were created by Rotor Walrus and Miles
DR. FINITEVUS “Tails” Prower. They look like short lamp posts with a star
USING A WARP symbol emblazoned on the top knobs. When activated, they
RING
open a portal directly into the Special Zone. If a similar
portal is opened in another zone, they can create a passage
to another dimension entirely, although they were not created
for this purpose. Dr. Ivo Kintobor of Moebius created
similar devices called Globe Posts that served a similar
function. He uses them to explore other zones for
potential new cures and medical techniques
non-existent on his own world.

SONIC TRAVELING
THROUGH STAR POSTS
The roboticizer was invented by Sir Charles Hedgehog. Using sophisticated technology,
it could transform flesh and bone into corresponding mechanical parts. Muscles
became gears, sinew became wires, and the brain became a computer. The idea
was that those suffering from terminal diseases could be preserved while a cure was
researched, and those gravely injured could be repaired with significantly less risk.
Julian Kintobor discovered the device and sabotaged it. When Charles used it on his
brother to treat his war wounds,
Jules was robbed of his free will.
When Jules’s wife, Bernadette,
“accidentally” fell victim to the
device shortly after, Charles turned
all of his notes over to Julian and
retired out of disgrace.

BERNIE HEDGEHOG BETRAYED AND Dr. lvo Robotnik later made many
ROBOTICIZED BY WARLORD JULIAN + modifications to the roboticizer and
used it to enslave nearly half of Mobius.
These roboticized Mobians, or “Robians,” were used as slave labor, often sent to
capture their own families. Some devices, such as Power Rings, Sword of Acorns
and Neuro-Overriders, could restore one’s free will, but Dr. Robotnik added a “Brain
Burn Thru” process to better ensure control of the Robians. Due to the complicated
nature of the device, a Robian could usually only be deroboticized by the same device
used in the original transformation. It was later discovered roboticizing already-
mechanical parts caused both the roboticizer and the material to explode. Dr.
Robotnik also created two Death Eggs,
intended as global roboticizers, as well — ,

modified himself to be able to roboticize
by touch, so that any blow landed on
him meant enslavement. He tested
it on his own people and discovered
that Overlanders, unlike Mobians,
would become statuesque unless they
consciously submitted to the process.
The effects of roboticization were
undone by the Bem, who used an
advanced version of the process
to revert almost all the Robians.
As a side effect, those former
Robians were now immune
to further —_sroboticization
attempts. However, Jules
remains roboticized, as he was
too gravely injured when he was
transformed to risk reversing
the process.
y

The Egg Grapes were perhaps the


most insidious device ever created
by Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik.
They consisted of hundreds of glass
chambers gathered in bunches, like
grapes, in a compound called the Egg Vineyard. Victims of the Egg Grapes
had their very spirits slowly erased, leaving them as empty husks. Even the
briefest exposure to their power could cause severe mental trauma, as
shown in Charmy Bee and Ixis Naugus. The first batch consisted primarily
of echidnas captured during the invasion of Angel Island. Their bodies were
to be used as “scrubbers” for energy drained from the Zone of Silence.
However, the plans of Anonymous saw all of those Egg Grapes lost to the
zone and Dr. Robotnik’s plans foiled.

Most of the remaining Egg Grapes were later used to imprison the Destructix,
Mammoth Mogul, lxis Naugus and the entire citizenship of Knothole City.
These were
destroyed in

efforts of
Sonic, Tails,
Knuckles and
Amy Rose. The

. Meant to be Dr. lvo Robotnik’s
greatest creation to date and the
final blow to Mobius, the Death
Egg was an orbital space station
with the power to roboticize the entire planet in one
fell swoop. Powered by countless power rings, it was
immune to attack. It was launched in total secrecy,
but was plagued with bad luck. One mishap after
another prevented escape from the atmosphere and
exposed it to Sonic and Tails. Its two interior defenses
- the original Silver Sonic and Dr. Robotnik’s “Eggs-o-
Skeleton” battle armor -failed to stop the heroes from
destroying the station from within.

Some time later, Dr. Eggman began constructing a


second Death Egg under the streets of New Megaopolis.
Appearing as a bunker and referred to as the “EggDome,”
THE ORIGINAL it survived the wrath of the fourth Enerjak and managed
DEATH EGG to remain unassuming under Freedom Fighter
scrutiny.

When it finally launched, it was powered by the Blue


Chaos Emerald and protected by a defensive matrix
of power rings. Its two pronged attack was the
“Genesis Wave,” which would rewrite the
rules of the universe to allow for the World
Roboticizer to enslave Mobius. Sonic
undid most of the “Genesis Wave”
effects while Princess Sally inverted
the roboticization beam, blowing up
the principal components.

The Ultimate Annihilator was the last creation of the


original Dr. Ivo Robotnik. It was a massive energy
weapon that fired a beam to a directing satellite,
which in turn channeled the beam onto the target. If
the target’s unique bio-data was programmed into
the Ultimate Annihilator, the beam would erase it
from the universe. The target would not be simply
killed - it would cease to exist completely.

them in one colossal strike. However, Snively had

meanwhile, only blipped out of existence for an

An Auto Automaton of Sally Acorn ended up placed in a

like King Maximillian Acorn was used to prime Knothole
for conquest at the end of the First Robotnik War. The
concept was later upgraded in versions called “Infiltrators,”
which were more powerful and had limited built-in weapon
options. These had to be programmed with direct scans
of the source’s minds, making them much more difficult to
produce and implement effectively. The one notable unit
among this line was the copy of Tommy Turtle, who nearly
killed both Sonic and his father, Jules. Another is the one
posing as Snively and serving at the Iron Queen’s side.
The Infiltrators were almost exclusively manufactured in the
RoboDyne facilities of Old Megaopolis and were destroyed
by the Freedom Fighters.

the brothers Edmund and Dimitri. It was
meant to slowly and safely drain the power

Mobius. Its only use, however, was at its
maximum setting; it ended up irradiating its
operator, Dimitri, with incredible amounts
of Chaos energy. Another was granted
to Turbo Tails by the Ancient Walkers to
combat Master Mogul. The technology

He attempted to use the suit to bring the powers THE CHAOS SYPHON
of “Chaos Knuckles” under control. Like Dimitri
before him, Dr. Finitevus was accidentally bathed in Chaos energy and was altered.
The latest version was crafted by Mammoth Mogul shortly after his escape from the
Master Emerald. He outfitted Dimitri’s hospital room with equivalent technology and
then lured “Chaos Knuckles” into the room. “Chaos Knuckles” attempted to overload
the system and blew up the entire facility. Unfortunately, Mogul’s craftsmanship was
too good and he received the power he needed to
become Master Mogul yet again. It is rumored the
technology was used again in the creation of a
scepter-like device the Brotherhood intended
to use against Enerjak should he ever re-
emerge. Sonic the Hedgehog destroyed the
device before it could ever be used, however,
so we will never know.

SYPHON SUIT
New Megaopolis was the capital
city of the Eggman Empire. It once
was one of the premier cities of the
Overland and was often thought
of as the research, artistic and
cultural capital of Mobius. The
actual capital was MegaCentral. New Megaopolis’s splendor was the breaking point
for the Overland. Already straining for resources, the state-of-the-art city brought the
Overland to a crisis which was one of the leading factors of the Great War. After
the Overland lost the war, the majority of the population left to pursue their fortunes
either in the United Federation or in space. The remaining citizens struggled to
maintain their metropolis; some were captured and used as test subjects by Dr. Ivo
Robotnik.

With the destruction of Robotropolis, Dr. Eggman moved to various cities under his
command, ultimately settling in New Megaopolis. Already an industrial city, he further
converted it to do nothing but churn out robots and weapons for his empire. At the
center of the city was the EggDome - a massive bunker that was in fact the hidden
and under construction Death Egg Il.

Most of the city was leveled by the fourth


Enerjak, rendering it useless to Dr. ean
Eggman. When the Death Egg II launched,
it tore up what was left of the city.

New Mobotropolis is modeled and named after Old Mobotropolis, the former capital of
the Kingdom of Acorn. The city prides itself on its smooth, appealing architecture and
integrating the surrounding environment. The city was originally built as the Nanite City
by Anonymous. It appeared to be the result of Dr. Eggman’s nanites being unleashed to
fulfill their pre-programmed duties, but it was really to hide a massive Chaos Emerald
Summoning Spire. After Anonymous’s defeat, Nicole took command of the nanites and,
under her direction, the city was transformed into something habitable and welcoming. For
now, the city’s lush parks and charming forests are constructed by nanites, but plans are
underway to grow real greenery in these spaces. The city is also outfitted with unobtrusive
hologram projectors, allowing Nicole to live and work next to the citizens of the city. The
residential area is set to the side and built close together for comfort. Most of the citizens
grew up in the limitations of Knothole Village, so the close neighbors are a familiar sight.
The Marketplace is nearby for convenience for those both buying and selling. Most
produce is farmed in small, personal gardens, but some is brought in from surrounding
villages and private farms. The city is built to provide whatever its residents need. The
school and science center are for pursuing higher knowledge while the coliseum is where
they can forget their worries and enjoy a concert by the Forget-Me-Knots or thrill at the
Dirt Hockey Championship. The King Frederic Airbase acts as the city’s airport, and the
Tommy Turtle Memorial Hospital heals the wounded while welcoming new lives into the
world. At the center is Castle Acorn. This majestic palace is home to the royal family and
serves as the government center. The Council of Acorn’s tribunal sits at the heart of the
castle. Surrounding the entire city is a sturdy wall. Thanks to the nanites, this wall can seal
against invaders and project a protective forcefield around the city.

Mobius is Earth tens of thousands of years after the Xorda ended most life on
the planet. Therefore, technically speaking, “Mobian” refers to all sentient beings
that arose afterwards. However, “Mobian” has come to refer specifically to the
anthropomorphic sentient beings. Many resemble species from old Earth (e.g.
dogs, foxes} while others share the name but look much different than their
ancestors (e.g. hedgehogs, echidnas). Mobians average three feet tall, but they
can range from tiny (fire-ants: six inches] to enormous (lions: seven feet). Most
races tend to pair up with their own kind, although interracial pairings happen
regularly as well. The latter pairings usually result in twins: one male with his
father’s traits and one female with her mother’s traits. On very rare occasions
a single hybrid child will be born. These children look more like one species than
the other, but will often have a striking trait of the other parent.

Mobian culture is incredibly dense and is nearly indecipherable. Males


typically wear very little, but will often wear more if they’re of a position of
power. Females typically dress more than males and more ornately when in
an authoritative position. Mobians typically group together by their race or
in small, multiracial villages. Large gatherings of multiple kinds of Mobians,
such as New Mobotropolis, are a rarity. This is not out of any animosity, but
the habit of Mobians to not gather in large numbers. Mobians also tend to
be innately merciful and generous. Many conflicts between them and their
genetic cousins, the Overlanders, feature Mobian forgiveness bordering on
naivety. Overlanders are technically Mobians themselves. If Sonic is a “Mobian
hedgehog,” then an Overlander is a “Mobian human.” They’re typically more
athletically built than humans and tend to have more colorful hair. They also
tend to only have four fingers like many Mobians, but five fingers are common
among both races. Like Mobians, Overlanders can range vastly in size (e.g.
Snively Robotnik vs. lvo Robotnik), but not as commonly. The general term
for the world’s fauna is “Mobini.” These can be recognized as the non-sentient
animals of Mobius, although many show striking insight sometimes. Sonic’s dog,
Muttski, is an example. The porcine Pickies, songbird-like Flickies and game
fowl Cluckies are also examples. Many other species of fish and insect Mobinis
exist, although some seem to blur the line between Mobinis and Mobians. It is
this unfortunate lack of clarity that has led to some Overlander bias against the
Mobians in general.

The Great Forest is a broadleaf forest that dominates
most of the Northamer continent. Many trees are
hundreds of years old, especially at the center. It is so
large and so thick that it conceals the shallow Great
Valley from aerial view. The Great Valley was once
part of a network of limestone caves washed out and
exposed to the world thousands of years ago. It was
the perfect place for Knothole Village. The limestone
caverns in the surrounding land remained accessible,
which served the needs of their residents well. Knothole
was an ancient settlement adopted by Mobotropolis KNOTHOLE CITY
and used primarily by the royal family and their court.
After Dr. Robotnik’s coup d’état, it served as the
staging grounds for the Original Freedom Fighters and the homes for the next generation.
The second generation of Freedom Fighters used one cave in particular as their clubhouse.
Over time it would become their base and eventually Freedom HO.

Knothole remained a small, rustic village for a long time. At the end of the First Robotnik
War it became a refuge for the Robians. At the start of the Second Robotnik War it hosted
both Robians and Mobians, but not comfortably. The village reached its breaking point when
it also hosted the Overlanders who had returned from space, although the Overlanders
moved on to the United Federation.

For a time, the village existed in a pocket SECRET TREE SLIDE TO THE
zone three hours in the future, though FREEDOM FIGHTER CLUBHOUSE
this was reversed. During Sonic’s
year in space the village expanded and
became Knothole City. Since its location
was already known to the Eggman
Empire, the city opted to flourish and
the Freedom Fighters fought to protect
it. Ultimately, the overwhelming might of
the empire won out and the village was
burned to the ground. The barren area
is now known as the Great Wastes.

to hit their city
of Echidnaopolis.
With the aid of the
fire-ants and many
Chaos Emeralds, they
lifted a massive chunk
of land from Downunda
and into the sky.
First Appearance:
eons Pre: Hedgehiag sis The Floating Island hosted many
WZ settlements, but the communities of
note were the echidnas of Echidnaopolis
and the Dingo Regime of Cave Canem. Tensions were high between the two due to
the Dingo Regime often raiding their neighbors for technology. The breaking point
came when the dingoes unleashed a nuclear strike. The attack was foiled, but the
island was ruined by nuclear fallout. Guardian Hawking used Dimitri’s research
to move each settlement into its own pocket zone while he and the Brotherhood
oversaw the cleanup of the island. It took over a hundred years to return it to its
natural splendor, but eventually almost all societies were returned to the island.

The Happyland Amusement Park was erected overnight by Dr. lvo Robotnik as a
plot to destroy the Freedom Fighters. The after-effects of the Ultimate Annihilator
broke down the last of the pocket
zones, destroying Cave Canem and
returning Echidnaopolis to the island.
The island was renamed “Angel Island”
after Knuckles’ distant ancestor,
Angel-La. Soon after, the Eggman
Empire invaded the island and
destroyed Echidnaopolis while
establishing a new version of Cave
Canem. The Dingo Regime briefly took

city wiped out by the fourth Enerjak. SHRINE ISLE, CURRENT HOME

Angel Island, despite the chaos, remains beautiful. The Dragon Spine Mountains
rise through its middle, and the Eternal River winds its way in a ring around the
island. The Marble Gardens glisten in the jungles, while redwoods and giant
fungi dominate the Mushroom Hills. The Sandopolis Desert consumes almost
half of the island and hides many secrets. The chameleons keep to themselves
in Rainbow Valley while the remains of the Dingo Regime regrouped around the
Azure Lake Oasis deep in the desert. Knuckles and the Chaotix keep watch over
the Master Emerald, which now keeps the entire island aloft from its perch on tiny
Shrine Isle. Meanwhile, the Hidden Palace Zone and Hydro City rest deep in the
heart of the island, holding many unsolved mysteries.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Xorda invaded Earth, destroying
almost all life. With almost no time to prepare, a few cities were built in
concealment. Only a fraction of humanity survived in these cities as the rest
of the planet was reshaped by the Gene Bombs. Time passed, continents
shifted, the Chaos Emeralds came and the world was renamed “Mobius” by
the Mobians. The handful of hidden cities remained self-sufficient.

As Mobius moved on around the remaining humans, they established a


network of communication and trade. This was the beginning of the United
Federation. In time a formal structure came to the organization. Each city
acted as its own country, and chose a different form of self-government. Each
ruler represented their city-state and served as council to the President of
the United Federation, who presides over Central City. To protect each other
from the outside world, each city-state was sworn to secrecy. If discovered,
they were to act as though they alone were all that remained of the old world
to protect the others. The second line of defense was the Guardian Units
of the Nation, or G.U.N. Each city-state had a commander to lead the local
forces, and all these in turn answered to a single commander of all of G.U.N.
This person answered only to the President.

The United Federation was first
discovered by their genetic
cousins, the Overlanders.
They mutually entered into the
“Heritage Project,” which worked
to reintroduce the humans into }
the world and to expose the
cultures to each other. At the g&
end of the Great War, it was
the ties of the “Heritage Project” WAR-TORN STATION
that allowed roughly a third of the SQUARE AFTER THE ATTACK
Overland to immigrate into the
United Federation. OF PERFECT CHAOS

Many of the Eggman Empire's efforts, including ties to “Project: Shadow,”


forced Station Square into the open. This served to establish contact
between them and the Kingdom of Acorn; while initially tense, this allowed
the Qverlanders returning from their failed space mission to find a home in
Station Square. Now, much of the United Federation is known to Mobius. It
is a risky move, exposing themselves to the Eggman Empire, but the current
thinking is that a publicly united front is better than hiding and hoping for the
best. That said, there may still be other small cities or pockets of “Old Earth”
civilizations hidden throughout Mobius.

STATION SQUARE PRIOR


TO THE XORDA INVASION
° a
Mobotropolis was the capital of the Kingdom of
Acorn and was a testament to King Alexander
Acorn’s vision of a nation built upon the talents
of all kinds of Mobians. Built to coexist with the
land, the city advanced greatly with the invention
of the clean energy source of power rings, though
the technology of the city remained simple. Its
resources were enjoyed by its citizens and craved
by the Overland to the north. Building off old
hostilities and pretense in equal measure, the
Overland initiated the Great War and eventually
occupied Mobotropolis. The citizens resisted using
the network of sewers to stage guerrilla attacks
until the city was reclaimed. The shift came when /
Overlander defector Julian Kintobor provided :
his genius to the kingdom. With advanced weaponry and OLD MOBOTROPOLIS'S
tactics, the Great War was ended and the city was rebuilt. GOLDEN AGE
This was all in preparation for Julian’s second betrayal. In
one fell swoop his gifts were turned against the city and it was transformed into
Robotropolis. Robotropolis became dedicated to manufacturing the robots, weapons
and machinery Dr. lvo Robotnik needed to conquer Mobius. The citizens who did
not resist his takeover were allowed to live and work in peace for a time but were
eventually rounded up and roboticized. For ten years the city served as his capital
while the Freedom Fighters attempted sabotage. During this time the city suffered
a massive earthquake and two small nuclear incidents but managed to limp along.
The city was briefly recaptured and renamed “Mobotropolis” at the end of the First
Robotnik War. It endured a meteor shower before it was reclaimed by Dr. Eggman
at the start of the Second Robotnik War. Dr. Eggman controlled the city until it was
attacked in a rogue nuclear strike by G.U.N. Dr. Eggman planned on enduring the
assault under a forcefield and letting the
outside world suffer, but Sonic and

WARLORD JULIAN’S
COUP D’ETAT
The Felidae Warriors of the Pais Misterioso (commonly called the Mysterious Cat Country)
control most of the southern region of Soumerca. Some territory is under dispute with
the recently reformed Wolf Pack Nation of the north. The Felidae have a peculiar way
of managing authority and hierarchy in their society. Station and identity rely on one’s
clothing. For example, Queen Hathor of the Pais Misterioso is considered (and even acts)
as a normal citizen unless she is wearing her mantle. When dressed as the queen, she
“transforms” into the role. The Felidae are also markedly brutal, with duels to end disputes
and capital punishment being the norm. Even children do not receive any mercy in this
vicious system. This may have some origin in their dealings with the Second Echidnaopolis
Colony. The Felidae were not welcoming to the Albion colonists and met violent resistance
from the Knuckles and Nocturnus Clans, who refused to give up the land they had claimed
for themselves. Had extenuating circumstances not intervened, the three peoples may
have done each other in. The violent lifestyle is not for everyone. While a sizable community
lives on the east coast, many more smaller tribes and individuals - like Big the Cat - live
throughout the region. Not all of these smaller tribes follow the brutal ways of the larger
community, but the practice of identifying ones station through his or her attire remains a
fairly constant trait.

Big the Cat lived primarily on his own in the jungles of Soumerca and rarely associated with
his people. Their customs proved too complicated and violent for him. Big is devoted to a life
of leisure and the pursuit of fish. Big is not terribly bright, and his simplicity gives him a child-
like nature. While he’s a gentle, kindly soul, his unblinking gaze can unnerve people at times.
Big’s companion and best friend is a Mobini frog named Froggy. Froggy got the two of
them mixed up in a grand adventure when he accidentally ingested and became possessed
by Chaos’s missing tail. This made him a target of Dr. Eggman, and Big risked everything
to rescue his friend. Big's friendliness GECRRE Swe
towards outsiders eventually lead to
his being exiled from the region, so he First Appearance (Felidae Warriors &

The Dragon Kingdom refers to the sprawling region


that dominates most of Yurashia. Legend says that
it was the original birthplace of the dragons, and that
its unique geography came from their epic battles.
The dragons eventually saw the folly of their warring
and left the region, leaving behind a prophecy stating
that if the land again fell into turmoil, it would be
saved by the Golden Lotus King. This legend is the
source of the Golden Lotus Temples, which promote
peace through meditation and await the arrival of
the King. These are frequented by the “Free People”
- the farmers, craftsmen, and villagers who live
independently of any affiliation aside from their home
towns. ABLAZE
The region is sharply divided, however. Four separate
ninja clans, or “Houses,” are in constant conflict.
Each House is ruled by a “Bride” and is species-
specific. These Houses were challenged by the Iron
Dominion, local enforcers that served the Eggman
Empire. While the Free People want only peace, the
power struggle has been long-running. There has
been a recent, dramatic shift in the status quo; with
the death of the Bride of Rich Nights, the Yagyu
Clan has dissolved into bands of thieves run by Yagyu
Lords. The Iron Dominion has fallen while the Raiju
\ Clan stands to take their place as agents of the
® Eggman Empire. Meanwhile, the Free People
finally have a champion. Monkey Khan has
accepted the title of King of the Free
People and works to negotiate peace

Casino Night was once a gambling resort

by badniks, it was destroyed but later

even those so far away as the United Federation. Mogul had not become
a totally legitimate business man, though. He acquired and moved the

The oceans of Mobius are largely unexplored.


One would presume that the Eggman
Empire would not let so much of the world go
untouched, but his only known effort came in
the form of the super-badnik Octobot.
¢
The oceans are protected by the Forty ——-—_-—_- -

with life. Countless species of Mobini fish, FAMILY
coral and other oceanic fauna and flora
fill the waves. Most Mobians of the ocean are hardly anthropomorphized,
somewhat blurring the line between what is considered a “Mobian” and what is
a “Mobini.” The oceans feed, and in turn are fed by, the two polar caps.

Usually referred to as the Northern and Southern Tundra, they too are largely
unexplored. The Southern Tundra is the most barren with only a few remnants
of the Forgotten Wars to show anyone ever lived there.

The Northern Tundra is a bit livelier and is home to a number of tribes, most
notably the Walrus Herd from which Rotor hails. The herd spends most of
their days enjoying the sun on the surface, but during the nearly six months
of night they retreat to the inverted and underwater city of Ilceborough in the
North Sea.

The only known danger is the local Dark Egg Legion chapter comprised of
cybernetically-enhanced orcas led by the vicious Grandmaster Akhlut.

THE FIGHT TO DR. EGGMAN! A NEW
AGE BEGINS FOR OUR HEROES!
There are many possible futures, but one such future has
been seen more than others.

Twenty-five years in the future, Mobius knew peace. Dr.


Eggman was dead, vaporized by Knuckles when he lost
control of his chaos powers. King Sonic and Queen Sally
ruled Mobius with their two children, Princess Sonia and
her younger brother Prince Manik. However, Rotor and
his partner Cobar discovered that the time-travel and
zone-hopping of the past had greatly destabilized space-time. SHADOW CONQUERS
Reality was unraveling. King Sonic and Guardian Knuckles MOBIUS
were brought together again for one last adventure. Using Dr.
Eggman’s Tachyon Chamber, King Sonic jumped into the time stream to fix the holes.

While he succeeded, he inadvertently erased himself and his family from the timeline.
History was rewritten so that Shadow defeated Dr. Eggman and fought for world peace.
Shadow eventually became embittered by the struggle and decided Mobius could only be saved
by following his every command. He conquered the world and became King Shadow. As
part of his conquest, he married Queen Sally for her political connections. Sally agreed
to the unhappy marriage to help soften Shadow’s harsh rule. Lien-Da had been protected
from the time-shift thanks to a device built by Rotor and Cobar. She used her knowledge
of the previous timeline to win King Shadow’s confidence. Her Dark Legion became his
Dark Presence. The Dark Eyes were the espionage division and the Dark Hands her
enforcers. Tails and his family had likewise survived the time-shift. Tails sought out Lara-
Su, and together they found Sonic with the intention of returning him to the throne. King
Shadow was challenged and ultimately put into stasis by Lara-Su using Chaos Control.
Sonic was reunited with Sally, crowned king, and they soon had twins - Sonia and Manik.

Five years later, Lien-Da and the Dark Presence had become a terrorist cell. They succeeded
in rescuing Shadow. Instead of wing for the crown, he unleashed the monstrous Tikhaos
and destroyed Lien-Da’s device, forcing herto realign in the time-stream. The whereabouts
of King Shadow and Lien-Da are now unknown.

Lara-Su and King Sonic managed to rally a CITY OF PORTAL UNDER


new team of Freedom Fighters to save the =
world from Tikhaos. Now, when trouble is KING SHADOW
on the rise, the Future Freedom Fighters
are prepared to save the world just as the
previous generation did.

THE ROYAL WEDDING ~~ Say


165
The royal family of Mobius rules
from Castle Mobius in the city of
Portal on Angel Island. The family
once had an older daughter and
a younger son, but shifts in the
time-stream erased them from
existence. Up until that point, King
Sonic was less than enthusiastic ] SONIC AND SALLY ON THEIR
about his parental and kingly duties. It WEDDING DAY, FOLLOWING THE
was when he lost both that he realized DEFEAT OF KING SHADOW
how much he’d once had.

Now that both his family and crown have been restored, King Sonic is a
notably more mature ruler and doting father. Queen Sally remains the level-
headed leader and the true political power to the pairing. Their twins, Sonia
and Manik, share their parents’ spirit and their father’s speed.
King Sonic has mostly retired from active combat but
occasionally lends a hand to the Future Freedom
Fighters. Queen Sally focuses on running the global
kingdom, though she’s not entirely thrilled that
her very young children are
sneaking away to go on
missions with the TAA.

Knuckles the Echidna and Julie-Su live together, devoted since their teen
years, and have yet to go through the full ceremony of union. They travel the
world together as part of the Chaotix, helping to promote stability across
Mobius. Their daughter, Lara-Su, is now the active
Guardian of Angel Island. Like her father, she
has a strong connection to the Chaos
Force. As an after-effect of Knuckles’
unusual origin, Lara-Su has two pairs
of retractable knuckleclaws. And like
both her parents, she has a bit of a
temper.

Lara-Su was raised by all of the Chaotix


and considers them her “uncles.” In
addition to her Guardian training,
she learned ninjitsu from Espio, flight
from Charmy, and strength training
from Vector and Mighty. Lara-Su
also receives advice from her
distant ancestor, Dimitri, who
endures as a robotic head in
a floating glass bubble. While
she gets along with him,
she is constantly
at odds with her
cousin, Rutan, the
son of Lien-Da.

Grown up, Tails now goes by
Miles Prower. In an unlikely
turn of events, he ended up
marrying the pop idol of his
youth: Mina Mongoose. The
two take turns directing the
family: for a year they explore
the mysteries of Mobius with
Miles, and then the next year
Mina settles to work out her
newest album and continue SKYE HAS HAD MORE DIFFICULTY WITH
the longest-running music FLIGHT AT HIS AGE THAN HIS FATHER,
career on Mobius. RESULTING IN A TORNADO-LIKE SPIN

They have two children: Melody, their daughter and Skye, their son. Melody shares
her mother’s lovely voice and incredible speed and her father’s adventurous spirit.
Skye has his father’s knack for machines but his mother’s early timidity. While Skye
has twin tails, he hasn't quite figured out how to fly like his father. Instead, he whirls
about like a mini-tornado with a very limited amount of control.

All of the Prowers were in the original time-stream until King Sonic rewrote history
to fix space-time. Miles built them all special armbands that protected them from
the shift in reality and allowed them to restore King Sonic to his throne.

After the Second Robotnik War, Queen Sally Acorn was forced to disband the Freedom
Fighters as part of a peace treaty with King Shadow. The world remained peaceful
only because of Shadow’s brutal rule. With his downfall, however, the world needed new
protectors. Initially gathered together on the fly, the Future Freedom Fighters are comprised
of the descendants of the last generation Freedom Fighters and Chaotix. Based out of Angel
Island, they're on-call to help a whole new generation of Mobians.
Lara-Su (1) - The current Guardian of Angel Island and the team’s leader. Her retractable
knuckleclaws, chaos powers and Guardian training make her a formidable and essential team member.
She seems to have a special connection with Argyle.
Argyle Crocodile (2) - Vector’s son and a complete computer geek. Well mannered, well spoken and
surprisingly suave, he usually helps the team from his workstation by providing them with information
and support. He seems to have a thing for Lara-Su.
Jacques D’Coolette (3) - The son of Antoine & Bunnie D’Coolette. He has a cybernetic left arm and
right leg. Cool and charming, he rockets into battle with his one foot-rocket and a saber built into his
arm.
Belle D’Coolette (4) - Jacques’s twin sister. Just as alluring and disarmingly becoming, she has
a cybernetic right arm and left leg. She can swoop into battle with her one rocket-foot and provide
support with her arm-cannon.
Melody Prower (5) - The daughter of Miles & Mina Prower, Melody is excitable but eager to be part
of the new team. She brings her incredible speed to the fight.
Skye Prower (6) - Melody’'s timid brother. He’s a bit of a tinkerer but is hampered by his skittishness.
He tries to fly with his twin tails but usually ends up spinning himself like an out-of-control top.
Princess Sonia Acorn (7) - One of the royal twins, she’s usually more perceptive and take-charge than
her brother. Being barely five-years-old, though, that doesn’t say much. She is super-fast like her father.
Prince Manik Acorn (8) - Sonia’s twin brother and her only equal in speed. Manik is easily distracted
and excited, but surprisingly heroic for a boy so young.

Solaris was the god of time, light, and fire. No one knows where it
came from. Some believed it to be one of the Seven Ixis Master
Works, while others believe it always existed. Nevertheless, ten
years ago it was a small white flame in the research labs of
Soleanna. The people of Soleanna worshipped Solaris as their
patron deity and held an annual ceremony to ask for its loving
light and not its destructive fire. The Duke of Soleanna and
his researchers, however, were experimenting with Solaris
in an attempt to harness its time-warping powers.

They ended up splitting the creature in half. Solaris’s fiery


power and destructive nature became the spirit Iblis.
Without any other option, the duke used the power of a Chaos Emerald
to seal the energy within his daughter, Princess Elise, dying in the process himself.
It would remain that way until Elise gave into despair, trapping her in a life of feigned
optimism. The other half of Solaris consisted of power and intelligence. This smoky spirit
was Called Mephiles. He would be trapped within a device called the Scepter of Darkness
by Shadow the Hedgehog. Years later, Mephiles would be released and steal Shadow’s
shape and abilities by merging with his shadow. Cruel and brilliant, Mephiles created a
plan that spanned over two hundred years, brought him the seven Chaos Emeralds, saw
the death of Sonic the Hedgehog and the release of Iblis. With the power of the Chaos
Emeralds, Mephiles rejoined Iblis and Solaris was reborn. Solaris began to devour time.
Its eyes opened across time and space and began to consume all as localized black
holes. An alliance between heroes and villains managed to recover the Chaos Emeralds,
revive Sonic, and see to Solaris’s defeat. Sonic and Princess Elise were sent back to the
days before Solaris was experimented upon. Elise took the tiny white flame and snuffed it
out, thus ensuring the disastrous split never occurred. And so Mephiles and Iblis never
existed. While the time paradox seems to have safely dealt with Solaris and preserved the
world, you never know what slips between the cracks of time.
