2017X Legacy (Sonic)

The Tale His story and overall nature are identical to that of the original 2017 and the storyline, an entity who loves to play twisted games with those around him. However, it has slight changes based on "Sonic's" personality.

The "Hero" This entity, unlike his alternate counterpart in 2011, has descended farther into his delusion and fanaticism about the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, to the point that he firmly believes that he is Sonic the Hedgehog. In this shift, his behaviors shifted gradually from a sadistic god-like mentality, towards what could only be described as a deluded, childish imitation of Sonic the Hedgehog, but much of the same tendency to commit violence still being present. What were once games that were life or death are now more meant to be playful towards others, however playing with "Sonic" hasn't stopped the violence entirely, to the misfortune of his victims. His world also changed, the focus going into the dark ages of the Sonic series, with more detailed environments, and with 2017's victims now perfectly made to play their parts. Despite insisting that he is Sonic, he still fails to recognize many of the core traits of Sonic and is forced to go to extreme, and often manipulative means to try to maintain the view that he has engulfed his world into. Gaslighting and manipulation are seen as a common tactic to persist in his delusions, as shown in his lyrics for the song Subterfuge.

Trivia Reports suggest that this character exhibits an intense fascination with Sonic, even more so than another character, referred to as X. While X tends to focus primarily on the classic titles from the Sega Genesis era, Sonic displays an obsession with what is termed the "Dark Age" of the franchise, particularly the games that were launched between 2003 and 2008. This extreme preoccupation has led Sonic to dedicate a significant amount of time to analyzing and studying these games with the goal of recreating them. Additionally, because both X and Sonic share a common backstory, they possess a similar range of abilities. However, Sonic has constrained his powers to a skill set more aligned with that of Sonic the Hedgehog, driven by his delusions of being a nearly flawless imitation in terms of skill. On the other hand, when Sonic enters a more unstable state, triggered by anger or psychological distress, he regains his original power and becomes impervious to typical harm. Sonic’s excessive fixation on the character Sonic the Hedgehog has caused him to become convinced that he is the authentic version of that character. Consequently, if someone were to assert that he is not the true Sonic, he would interpret this as deceit, shifting the blame onto the person making the claim. The visuals of the game evoke similarities to the 2006 title, Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic himself exhibits playful, child-like behavior, occasionally appearing more deluded than malicious. His form features a texture reminiscent of dull ceramic, with circular eyes positioned beneath a brow. His skin is a muted black-blue with grey tones on his chest and muzzle, and his feet are marked by unusual grooves instead of fingers. Sonic is not alone in having distinctive physical traits; numerous characters within the game display irregular features, lack certain details, or appear in more subdued forms. Additionally, a version of the 2017 rewrite is integrated into Sonic's lore. The song "Subterfuge," featured in Sonic Legacy, draws inspiration from the events outlined in the original 2017 narrative, with its lyrical adaptation performed by Sturm and penned by Raven crafted to align more closely with this 2017 version and the anticipated official remake. Should he encounter the real Sonic the Hedgehog, it is likely that he would experience a severe psychological breakdown. Unlike his earlier counterpart, the 2017 iteration appears to put considerable emphasis on compelling his victims to embody their assigned roles. This may stem from his perception of them as their beloved characters; in a twisted sense of liberation, he believes that extracting their souls frees them from their earthly confinement. This dynamic also seems to enhance the 2017 character’s capacity for self-delusion, as he brainwashes his victims into conformity with their roles, thereby causing them to view him more as Sonic. Raven originally intended this interpretation to serve as her reimagining of JC's 2017 X remake. However, her recent ideas have evolved while she has been developing Sonic Legacy. As a result, although this representation is the current understanding of 2017 X, Raven has indicated that the final character will differ from how Sonic Legacy portrays him. Until this revised version is made available likely after the completion of the creator’s other projects, as she has publicly noted this interpretation will be regarded as the prevailing version on the wiki. Contrary to common misconceptions, this reimagining is intended to stand alone, unconnected to previous characters or the original 2017 narrative. The lore pertaining to this variant of "Sonic" combines elements from the original 2017 X and the future retake of the storyline, with specific distinctions derived directly from that forthcoming reinterpretation. In a discussion thread posted by Raven, she elaborates on the various allusions and intricacies within the lyrical rendition of "Subterfuge." The song frequently references the original 2017 story, particularly its third chapter. Several references are included, ranging from benign elements like the pizza that Tom had in the lines "Peppered envy, pain and horror," to direct or rephrased quotes attributed to X when addressing Tom. Examples comprise: "What's wrong? You act as if you've never seen a hedgehog before," "What's wrong, Tom? Don't you recognize meeeeeeeee?" from the fourth segment of the lyrics, and "Wow, you're not very good at this game, are you?" at the transition into the final theme.

His body alongside others appears to consist of a material similar to porcelain, which gives off a much shinier and shell-like look. He is also said to have a rotten ooze within himself.

Broken Face form:His broken face form is quite grotesque in appearance, its form appears to be asymmetrical and is way bulkier than before, and its body has begun to crack, mostly in the face area. This represents the intense emotions "Sonic" goes through if the player doesn't believe in him.
