This is something kind of silly but I had fun with it anyway.

I’ve been thinking a lot about those fankids I did back at the end of December , and wanted to flesh out the rest of the neo-Freedom Fighter roster. This week in between classes I’ve been jotting down ideas, so today I finally played with some colors and details for a few of them while listening to my homework lecture online. They all could use a lot of work, and this isn’t even close to all the characters I’ve made, but I still like how the roster is turning out. I’m calling it 25 years later, but I haven’t really worked out all the numbers yet. That’s roughly where it’s at.
From left to right:
Amy x ??
The little pink prince of Mercia, who I’ve been calling Chariot Rose, or Cheerios for short. 25 years ago the rightful heir to the Mercian throne and his family went into hiding and never returned. After the fall of the Eggman Empire, a search party tried one last time to locate them, but it proved fruitless. The next closest relative was chosen to inherit the kingdom- Amy Rose. Now that’s a fun and long story in itself, but for Cheerios that’s not the important part. All that matters is his mom is Queen and he’s the next in line to be King.
Cheerios is A LOT like his mom. A romantic to the core. He’s a little lady killer- he falls desperately in love with almost every girl he meets, big or small, rich or poor. He’s especially keen on Sonic’s two girls, but so far they’ve both turned him down repeatedly. He never seems too heartbroken about it though, instead insisting that a grander gesture of his love is needed for one of them to make up their minds. He likes to flirt, but he’s not a player. He only wants one girlfriend at a time, but so far no one’s said yes, so he keeps trying. Think of him as a small, pink Tamaki-sempai from Ouran. He’s also sometimes so forward that he comes off as cheeky- he openly refers to Sonic as ‘father’, since he’s already convinced that Sonic will be his father-in-law. Sonic’s not happy about it.
But also like his mother, he’s got boundless optimism and a big heart, and a looooooooooooot of enthusiasm. He’s got a very go-getter attitude and can be hard to keep up with. There isn’t an ounce of malice in him, and he’s the most generous and forgiving member of the team. He’s very opposite to WereSally (the blue SonSal kid from the last batch). Both kids are set to inherit their respective thrones, but where WereSal takes that for granted and simply bosses people around, Cheerios is determined to be a good king to his people when he grows up, treats his younger brothers respectfully, and has the bravery and determination to match his words.

He's a total dandy and loves to look nice and buy fancy clothes. He wields a giant golden hammer that packs a vicious punch. He's a major bruiser in the group, despite what his small size may suggest.
Cheerios doesn’t really have a lot to learn in the way of needing an attitude adjustment or finding his purpose. He’s going to be a good king.
However, just because the rightful heir was never found, doesn’t mean he died…
Vector x ??
I never minded Argyle so I didn’t mind keeping him. I wanted to include at least one Chaotix kid, and I liked the body diversity a crocodile offered to the group. May change the name, but Argyle Crocodile is already a pretty nice name.
For Argyle, I just slimmed him down to something closer to Vector’s classic look, and keep him sleek and smooth to match his personality. He’s really into music thanks to growing up around his dad’s music collection. He plays the piano and is a budding DJ trying to make a name for himself. He’s kind of a hipster- really obsessed with records and vintage music, and he’ll argue that he was born in the wrong decade just because he doesn’t like today’s pop music.
He’s closest to Lara-Su, they grew up around each other a lot and they might as well be a couple already. They’re both too cool and aloof to make things official. They were both frequently saddled with babysitting the other families’ kids since they were the oldest, particularly Espio’s and Charmy’s. Argyle doesn’t really like Lara-Su’s dad a whole lot (not that he’d say anything to him about it), since he’s kind of intense and scary. (Though he’s even more scared of her mom, who seems to have some sort of grudge against his family…) Lara-Su doesn’t really like Argyle’s dad because he’s kind of weird and loud.
He’s the team’s resident tech guy (though his specialty was using it for music productions and not saving the world), and they convinced him to join for specifically that reason. He’d much rather be at home with his music collection than hanging out with a bunch of spoiled royal tweens, but once Lara joined and they said they needed him, he begrudgingly went along with it. He’s lazy and sarcastic, but like his dad, he’s charitable and can’t bring himself to let other people suffer. He’ll still moan about having to help though.
Knuckles x Julie-Su
The only other character I kept mostly the same as before was Lara-Su. The naming convention was already in place (female echidnas take their mother’s suffix in their name -su, -le, -da, etc.), and it wasn’t like I was going to change the ONE FEMALE GUARDIAN (who doesn’t die of the flu or whatever) to a son, so it’s still essentially Lara-Su. And I can’t picture her with siblings- Knuckles has little experience with siblings after growing up isolated and Julie-Su hated hers, so one kid was plenty.
I haven’t really nailed down a good look for her yet. I want her to be taller and buffer than the others, so I tried mixing in some Boom-Knuckles to her design, along with the SA2 sunglasses. But neh, the design’s going to need some major reworking, I’ll admit. XD
Lara still has some slight chaos powers, but it goes no further than her father’s connection to the Master Emerald went. No Chaos Control, no whatever. Primarily, she fights with her long spiked knuckles- she’s a brawler and likes to get her hands dirty.
From a very early age, her father would take her out on survival trips, which were basically getting plopped into the jungle with no supplies and finding ways to live off of the land for weeks at a time. Unlike Locke, Knuckles accompanied these trips and never faked his own death. Lara thinks her parents can be a little overbearing and nutty at times, but after hearing what her grandparents were like, she sorta understands and tries not to hold it against them.
She’s not too terribly concerned about becoming the next guardian. Mostly because life has been relatively peaceful during her upbringing and he doesn’t have a concept of what she’ll have to deal with. But she does think it’s lame that there’s only been one female guardian before her who was basically a footnote and she wants to absolutely rock at her job.
She hates Sonic’s kids, except Chux, since she forgets he exists. She REALLY doesn’t get along with WereSal, who she thinks is a total flake. But when the team is forced to join together for the first time, she goes along to help out. She’s not good at working with others. She was trained to be independent, not work in a team. It’s going to take some time for her to warm up to the others.
Tails x Mina
This was always such a bizarre pairing, but okay, let’s roll with it. A lot can change in 25 years and there’s not THAT big of an age gap between the two of them. Whatever the circumstances in how they met, they’ve had one kid so far: Melody. (Good enough name until I come up with a replacement.)
This Melody is not like the old Melody. To begin with, she’s a fox, and she’s an only child. She DOES have her mother’s super speed, and she’s been working to control it better than her mom could. However, she’s not training in order to be heroic- she wants to use her abilities to further her acting career.
Melody’s whole thing is being the star child of the super famous Mina Mongoose, who shattered music charts and continues to be the Queen of Pop. She’s been in the limelight since she was just a toddler, instantly winning audiences’ hearts by playing plucky, adorable characters in movies and TV shows. Now that she’s a little older, she’s trying to build her fame- she’s begun releasing singles as a pop star herself (they’re terrible but they sell well), and she’s regularly signed on for starring roles in major films. She lives to as big a personality as possible. Her goal is to be in every person’s DVR, iPod, computer, and magazine. She’s not sure what more there is to life- her mother lived in the spotlight, and her father is a prolific inventor. Obviously, attention is good.
She’s selfish and spoiled. While talented in many areas, she has no understanding about how regular people live. She’s never been worried about money or living uncomfortably. She gets annoyed when Argyle asks her for a bump in his DJ career. She’s a hard worker, but even she’s not really sure what she’s working towards, or why. She just wants to make more stuff. Where her dad wanted to create things to help people and her mom wanted to sing people’s troubles away, Melody has none of these goals. If you took the fame away from her, it’s hard to say what person you’d be left with.
Sonic’s other girl, the tiny orange one, reallllly doesn’t get along with her, mostly out of jealousy that Melody has superspeed and can use it well, and Orange doesn’t. It doesn’t help that Melody gloats about it endlessly.
When she is called upon to help save the world, she does so without hesitation- being a hero will be great PR, and can only make her more famous. This shallow reason isn’t going to carry her all the way though, once the going gets tough. She’s going to have to discover what kind of person she really is, and if she’s got the mettle to become the hero she plays on TV.

So those are four more of the Neo-Freedom Fighters I’ve been thinking of. So far we have WereSal, Orange, Chux, Melody, Lara-Su, Cheerios, and Argyle. There’s still two more on the team I need to draw out, one fankid and one new guy altogether. Then there’s all the other characters, good and evil, who aren’t on the team but exist in this little world I’ve been thinking of. I’ll get to them sometime soon. They’re a lot of fun. They don’t get along at all at first, but their story is one of learning to be friends with each other and find their way.
