Description My first Sonic fan character eveeeeer! Grind is an actual gear, and can climb up walls and even ceilings spider ball style! I even made a story around him for a potential game.

Grind is an ancient steampunk robot created hundreds of years ago. He was part of an entire line of steampunk inspired machinery on an island called Remote Island. Years passed and the island became abandoned and forgotten. Skip to hundreds of years later, Dr. Robotnik finds Remote Island in attempt to use the ancient technology for evil. Sonic and Tails eventually follow in pursuit. Grind awakens from laying around becoming rusted and goes to see who has invaded the island. Grind is like the guardian of Remote Island, thus he sometimes gets in Sonic or Robotnik's way.
A bunch of steampunk inspired Zones and 7 Chaos Emeralds later, Robotnik is on the brink of completing a giant, Death Egg Robot looking Robot made from the scraps of the ancient technology. The only problem is that he needs one more part that has the secret source of anergy. Turns out that Grind is the final piece Robotnik needs! The blue core in his body has the secret energy! Robotnik captures Grind, forces him into his gear form, and uses him to power his machine. After Sonic defeats Robotnik, he frees Grind and Robotnik is sent flying. Trusting Sonic now, Grind is thankful and bids him and Tails farewell as they leave the island.

This story is still just a rough draft, so it might seem a little bare with a few holes. But hopefully you get the gist of things!
Any Sonic fan characters I make at this point will be robots like badniks. I like to stand out from the crowd, especially in this sense..>__>

Nice story and character design. Very consistent, and very fitting in Sonic terms.

I'm wondering if you would want to work with me on my Sonic 4 (Redesign) project. Your ideas can make some really great games.

Mmm, I dunno. If you're remaking Sonic 4, my ideas for Grind are pretty different from what 4 had. Unless of course referring to me coming up with ideas to spice up something like 4.

PS This project is basically a what if sonic 4 was made for the SEGA Saturn and it scraps literally everything that the current existing sonic 4 has.
It's a slow project so don't feel stressed if you'd like to contribute. Yes ideas are appreciated. Thank you.

Going back to Sonic 4 itself, say what you will about Episode 1. But imo Episode 2 had some good ideas. The zones were a bit more original and they had some fun gimmicks. I also liked the tag team moves that utilized both Sonic and Tails, giving Tails more of a purpose of following you.
It wasn't perfect by any means. But I don't think that it'd be such a bad thing to take some inspiration from Episode 2 and expanding/improving upon them. But that's just me and my "bad" Sonic opinions, I guess. It's your project.

Lol I'll have you know I 100%ed Sonic 4 episode 2 (With the exception of beating all bosses W super form).
Nah you good. I will definitely borrow stuff from the modern Sonic 4.

I've never really been one for OC's, so I'm probably not the right guy to pass critique on this little guy's backstory, but I do love the design.  Reminds me of the little steam-powered maintenance robots from Metroid Prime 3!

This is a really cool design, and the backstory you came up with is pretty solid too! (And that's not just my love for steampunk talking, either!)

Hello yes I am from the future to tell you that this is gonna kick ass if you go ahead and turn it into an original game concept

I mean it's still really cool as an FC but I think this could go ever further on its own

I have a similar concept for my Game in Game series. I mean, some of my characters were originally going to be Pokemon.
