Description
Here's my version of Rotor for my fan comic Sonic Odyssey. For Rotor I decided to go with a sort of viking angle with him, since I figured that wlaruses in this universe would have a viking culture. Since I figured that would make sense due to walruses generally living up north and are fairly large animals so I thought vikings would suit them (also I was influenced by the Snomads from DKC: Tropicle Freeze). I kept Rotor's hat from the early comics and Satam, along with his jacket from the pre reboot archie comics only I turned it into a vest by removing the sleeves and gave him wrist bands to give him a sort of viking look. I gave him a weapon that's a mix between an battle axe, a wrench and a flamethrower.Rotor Sushie (Age: 20): the laid back mechanic of the Freedom Fighters, Rotor is a chill and very geeky if somewhat clumsy walrus with friendly attitude. He can come off as intimidating at first due to his large size but is really one of the most lovable warmhearted guys you can meet. He is obsessed with technology building most of the teams gadgets and vehicles and acting as a bit of a mentor to Tails in terms of mechanics. He is big dork and a bit clumsy but still very kind and helpful. He's also rather boisterous and a little overly enthusiastic especially when it comes to his geeky obsessions. He's also rather sagely and introspective willing to give people advice. He is also the voice of logic on the team always looking at the big picture as appose to acting on emotion like some of the other members of the team. He would also get frustrated with things he doesn't understand and is often skeptical on the existence of magic or the super natural thinking there is always a scientific explanation to everything, his logic being that whatever is percieved as magic is actually an incredibly advanced form of science that they haven't evolved enough to understand (often citing an example of if you show pieces of modern technology to someone from the Middle Ages they'll percieve as magic) often putting him at odds with Amy the team's magician. He still comes off as a bit child like with his upbeat attitude and geeky interests which is probably why he's able to connect well with Tails. He's also a tough fighter due to his viking heritage not being afraid to throw down and sometimes getting enthusiastic in a fight complete with battle cries.
He had a rough childhood with his father being the tyranical 'Tundra King', the ruler of the nation of Holoska (one of the few places not under Robotnik's control) a cold hearted viking warlord with ice powers. Who banished Rotor for what he percieved as 'weakness' when Rotor refused to aid in their clan's robbing and pillaging and refusing to build them weapons to do so. He wandered for days until he witnessed Robotnik's rise to power and his cruel tyranny, being reminded of his father Rotor began trying fight Robotnik's forces, only to get captured and arrested then sent to Iron Lock Prison. It seemed at first that he was going to rot away there until Sonic and Tails show after being arrested themselves, and the three worked together bust out of there. Then from then on Rotor become a member of the Freedom Fighters.
Sonic and related characters are owned by Sega and Sonic Team.

Not sure about Boomer as a middle name, maybe if you had Boomer be considered a normal name in whatever culture Rotor's family came from. Like maybe it has a different meaning there or something.

Well it worked for the Archie comics, and considering the whole super hero theme you're going for, it'd make sense to have the evil twins appear. So why not.

Okay, granted I think there's world building potential in exploring an alternate universe where the heroes are villains. But I understand if you don't want to delve too much into the multiverse stuff since that could cause things to get really convoluted. Has usually been my issue with the super hero genre and the Archie Sonic comics. Though I also don't think multiverse stuff shouldn't be completely out of the question, it should just be used in moderation I think. I'll admit I've been on the fence on how much of the multiverse stuff I'd use in Sonic Odyssey, mainly if I use Scourge (and the other evil twins) or not. I mean I do like the character as a sort of dark reflection of Sonic, I mean otherwise I wouldn't even consider using him if I didn't like him.
But if I were to opt to not have Scourge be Sonic from an alternate dimension, my other idea is to merge him with Metal Sonic since I'd be going for the OVA origin where he's made from Sonic's life data and the Heroes premise of him thinking that he's the real Sonic. So in that scenario I think it'd make sense that he'd maybe adopt characteristics similar to Scourge. Then he could get lonely and jealous of all the friends that Sonic has particularly of his relationship with Sally. So he would have Robotnik or some other inventor go build him his own group of friends based on Sonic's and basically build him a bride in the form of a Metal Sally. Then that could by my comics version of both Archie's evil twins and Fleetway's Brotherhood of Mettallix.
One way the multiverse is integral to my plot is that I plan to explain Locke being absent from Knuckles' life is because he was knocked into a portal and became stuck traversing the multiverse trying to get back to his home dimension for the last I'd say 10 years.
Also do you have any thoughts on the villain drawings I did? if you do be sure to leave a comment on them.

Which idea did you find interesting, the one with Metal Sonic or Locke's dimension hopping?
Yeesh, personally when I don't like a character I opt to either fix whatever issues I have with them or just not use them at all. Just never really liked the idea of killing a character out of spite always seemed petty to me (no offense).

I can get if you think he's 'unfixable', but my point is are you using him because you think there are interesting stories to tell with him and the logical conclusion for said story is with their death if so that's alright but if your reason for using a character is just so you can kill them, then I think that's just being petty. I mean if you don't like the character and you don't think there's any way to fix them, I mean no one is strong arming you into using them, unless he's absolutely integral to an interesting plot you want to tell.
Though I would agree that if a character irredeemable they should get killed off, otherwise it just raises the question on why the characters don't just kill them making a big old plot hole. I mean I'd argue that there's a similar problem with Robotnik/Eggman where you have a mad man capable of building armies of giant death machines who has on numerous occasions turned people into his personal robotic slaves in addition to numerous other atrocities, yet you wonder why they don't kill the guy besides the obvious fact that he's a sega character. Sure they killed off the first Robotnik and replaced him with the one from an alternate universe (I still find that plot point annoying), I can understand why they brought him back at all because of Sonic Adventure but at the same time I would have found it more interesting if they opted to not bring him back and instead focused on new villains (yeah, yeah call me a heretic). I mean I get that Robotnik is Sonic's arch nemesis and all and he has that iconic value, but if you look at other franchise where the heroes have an iconic arch nemesis and some of them can get away with killing off said nemesis and still continuing on afterwards. Examples being the TMNT's Shredder and Spider-Man's Green Goblin, those characters got killed off and the stories still continued on from there. They even are still able to keep the iconic villains around in some form by turning them into legacy characters and having other characters take the mantle of said character. Like maybe instead of bringing Robotnik back from the dead or bring in Robotnik from another dimension they could have maybe had another character in universe take the mantle of Robotnik. Just a thought.

Either way I'm still trying to decide on if I'm going to use Scourge or just go with the Metal Sonic idea being a Scourge expy idea?
I generally feel the idea of killing off Robotnik does fit with the Satam premise and opens an interesting story opportunity for the post Robotnik world, with a bunch of other villains vying to fill the power vacuum left by Robotnik. Basically stuff like the remaining Grandmasters trying to maintain/regain control of their territories along with other villains like Ixis Naugus, Mammoth Mogul, The Battle Bird Armada, The Iron Dominion, The Brotherhood of Mettalix, The Dragon Empire, The Mettarex, Maybe this new villain I made called Count Bellok (basically Mobian Dracula), and so on. (I didn't include the Nocturnous Clan or Finetevous because I view them as more Knuckles' enemies than anything).
