Description (EDIT - New Story)

Sonic's story starts at a young age, back when he was known as Maurice. Maurice lived in a village right outside of the Green Hill forest with his parents, Jules and Bernadette, his siblings, Manny and Sonya, and his Uncle Chuck. Maurice was the slowest running kid and tended to be late to everything he went to. One day he was playing in the local caves with his siblings and fell into a cavern. In the cavern, Maurice discovered a green glowing emerald and when he touched it, he was covered by a white light. Maurice awoke later to find the emerald gone and that he was faster than before, a lot faster, maybe the fastest thing alive and he was releasing electricity from his body. Maurice ran all the way back to his village and showed everyone his new speed and they were all amazed.
On the other side of the world, Dr. Robotnik was looking for the Chaos Emeralds and had satellites searching for chaos energy around the world and sensors were detecting a massive amount in Maurice's village. Robotnik headed to this new target to get his emerald.
Days later, Robotnik's robots arrived at the village and started destroying it in pursuit of the Chaos Emerald. Maurice managed to stop some of them but he was mistaken for a chaos emerald because of his energy and was bubbled and sent to be taken back to Eggman. He flew for hours before he managed to bust out and run back to his village. All he found back there were burnt houses and no one else around. He searched everywhere but could find no one. Maurice lost all hope of finding anyone and fell to the ground and cried. Maurice wouldn't be on his own for long as an owl, Claa, came from the sky and found the little hedgehog and comforted him. The next day, Maurice showed off his speed and power with collecting nuts and berries for breakfast and getting detected by Robotnik's sensors again. Maurice and Claa ran away and it was found that the bots were after the hedgehog. Maurice lost the bots and took off with Claa to a new place. Claa told Maurice that he had a power in him that others would come after him for, so he needs to hide from the world.

Maurice was cared for by Claa and trained him to control his power. She would also try to get Maurice to control his electric outbursts, which seemed to come out when he became distressed at remembering his old life. To fight this, Maurice was told to suppress his feelings by focusing on "running past the pain." In the 10 years to follow, Maurice would take this advice and try to forget what he lost and he even took a new name, Sonic. One day, Sonic took off outside of his secluded forest to save some animals from a new type of robot seen in the area, Badniks. These robots had a limited charge but when they captured an animal, they could run on its bio-electricity and continue for as long as the animal inside was still alive. This rescue got Sonic on Robotnik's radar again and he sent 10 mechs to retrieve the superpowered hedgehog. The bots attacked Claa and Sonic's home and Claa sent Sonic away with something she was saving for a troubling situation, a Golden Portal Ring. Sonic was in sent to Green Hills in an instant and by the time he returned to his new home, he found it in flames and Claa gone. Sonic was once again alone and he ran again, hoping to once again outrun his pain. What Sonic didn't know was that this event would send him off on an adventure that would bring him together with a fox, echidna, and pink hedgehog and have him finally face the madman who took everything from him. 


For his redesigned look, I wanted Sonic to have some practical and newly designed items on him. Here, Sonic is a bit more fuzzier than his original self just to give less of a smooth look and bit more of a wild one.

Goggles - It would make sense that Sonic might have these for cases when he's in an environment that might interfere with his sight like running through rain, sand storms, and even running on the ocean where salt water might get in his eyes from running on it.

Scarf - This was carried over from Sonic Boom and I see it being like the goggles to sometimes be used to block out anything that could fly right Sonic's mouth like bugs and it could be used to help breathing in tough cases like running in smoke and sand storms.

Shorts - I was just tired of Sonic being naked and wanted to change it up for this case. I gave him some running shorts that are a few shades of a darker blue so that the shorts wouldn't feel so out of place as any other color.

Watch - This was made by Tails and includes a worldwide GPS so that Sonic could find out where he is at any part of the world and it can react to Sonic's speed and find a fast route when it comes to Sonic going from continent to continent.

Shoes - I redesigned that shoes to look more like typical running shoes but still close to what they looked like before and they even sport a gold ring logo that glows when Sonic collects rings.

Well it's not that I don't have the creativity to change them, I just think that the adventures those forms came from won't be canon to this universe. So there's really no need for me to draw them when I can draw other characters.

But what about Shadic? (Sonic and Shadow) from Nazo Unleashed?

Plus Sonia & Manic and their mother Queen Aleena?

In my live action movie, he'll meet a human like Chris and befriend him and his family.

I probably won't be using other people's fanworks for this.

Sonic's siblings will appear, but not the Queen Aleena, his mother is instead Bernadette Hedgehog.

Ugh, Chris...........................nothing against your ideas but I hated that kid from Sonic X.

Really cool, Ziggy!

Sonic DEFINATELY looks way past cool in his new look. And, an added plus for giving him pants, too. I mean, C'MON!!! He's running around at super sonic speeds with his dinger hangin' out for Pete's sake!

Oh yeah I can just imagine how awkward that is when he goes running by kids.

Kid: Daddy, I just saw Sonic running and it looked like he had something waving between his legs.

Dad: Uuuuuhhhh..... That was a chili dog. You know how much Sonic loves those.

Kid: But that didn't look like....

Dad: Chili Dog!!

TheCopyUniverseTCU In reply to ??? [2015-08-16 08:41:26 +0000 UTC]

I'm assuming the pants are very similarly built like his shoes: friction resistant, so that his legs don't burn whenever he runs. I like this design, it makes sense to me. Excellent work!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Zigwolf In reply to TheCopyUniverseTCU [2015-08-16 19:06:19 +0000 UTC]

Yes they are friction resistant as well as environmentally adaptable. The fabric thins in heated environments like deserts and thickens while in artic environments. Another feature is that the shorts are water resistant. Tails was really thinking of a lot of situations Sonic might find himself in when he made these pants, but that doesn't stop Knuckles from calling him a seamstress for making those pants.

Wow. You really captured what Sonic should look like with this one, and the added on equipment works well, and thank you for giving him pants. Seeing him speed streak around in games was difficult to watch. Hope you decide to do the others.

Zigwolf In reply to Bookdud3 [2015-08-16 05:50:37 +0000 UTC]

Well I wanted to add stuff to his look that would make perfect sense as to why he would wear each part. I will do Tails, Knuckles, and Amy next.

Zigwolf In reply to ryderdecade [2015-08-16 05:20:34 +0000 UTC]

That would be so cool. My only hope for that movie is that the human characters don't overshadow the main characters like what was done in the Transformers films and new TMNT.

In the second TMNT out of the shadows the movie focuses on the turtles and barley on the humans

Zigwolf In reply to DalekRimmer [2017-01-20 04:02:46 +0000 UTC]

Well that is a step up but I hear the movie was still not that great. But that's just one example, almost every other live action/CGI movie puts the focus on the live people.

I just feel like this is going to be like half Sonic's story and half some random person.

DalekRimmer In reply to Zigwolf [2017-01-20 04:20:19 +0000 UTC]

Yeah that is most likely to happen but Sonic is not really a interesting character when you look at him in a whole perspective (although its not like the humans characters are going to be any better)

Zigwolf In reply to DalekRimmer [2017-01-20 06:14:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but that's what movies are for sometimes. They help to redefine a character.

Well we can't be sure on the human characters yet because none have been casted. When we know who stars in the movie then we'll know how important they might be.

DalekRimmer In reply to Zigwolf [2017-01-20 06:44:09 +0000 UTC]

To be honest i really don't want a sonic movie due to sonic fags (dark side and 90% of sonics fandom) and it being just a cash grab. Also if they do make the movie PLEASE MAKE SONICS ARMS BLUE TO PISS OFF THE FANDOM (looking at you chris chan)

Zigwolf In reply to DalekRimmer [2017-01-21 07:20:20 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah, those guys. Ugh.
No one is really doubting that this movie is a cash grab. It's even made by Sony Pictures Animation, who are widely known for their movies being made for money rather than creativity.

No matter what Sonic looks like, people will always bitch and moan about how he looks. Anytime photos of comic characters in movies are released, there's this wave of hate about how they look. It doesn't even matter if they end up looking great in the actual movie, there's always that group that will always hate something just to hate.

What's wrong with that? We got Sonic X didn't we?

How about two humans? One boy and one girl. In later movies, I wanna see the boy fall in love with Elise when he grows up as an agent.

Zigwolf In reply to ryderdecade [2015-08-16 22:16:02 +0000 UTC]

Yeah but the majority of people watching SonicX didn't even like the human characters of Sonic X and some even hated the main human Chris. I mean can anyone even remember the names of any other humans from that series ? Plus was it necessary for the Sonic characters to be transported to our world ?

I don't mind two humans being involved as long as the main focus isn't on them. The problem with the human characters from TF and TMNT was that we were shown their story and the Bots and Turtles of their own story become secondary characters. I mean in the first three TF movies the Transformers are only shown for 20 minutes. 20 MINUTES!!! out of the combined trilogy runtime of 441 minutes/7 Hours and 21 minutes.

How would you see the Sonic movie series go with some humans involved?

Movie 1: Sonic Adventure
Movie 2: Sonic Adventure 2
Movie 3: Sonic Heroes
Spin-off: Shadow the Hedgehog
