RetrospeX/1991X

Both entities are the result of a random event in which a copy of the 2011X game with corrupted metadata literally shifted through time, transforming into a retro-oriented game from the 90s. Because X had no gender, the transfer of the game data split his entity into two chromosome types XY and XX, resulting in RetrospeX and his sister Synx-Wella.

A male genetic entity of X with a distinct physique and a design similar to Retrowave/Synthwave. His blood turned blue due to a change in his internal structure, which is also noticeable in his eyes.

RetrospeX doesn't differ much from the canonical X in terms of personality, except perhaps to be more masculine and cruel. After changing his essence, his ambitions have grown and he considers himself not just a god, but a new evolved life form. His abilities include significantly enhanced physical strength (which is his most prominent trait, unlike his sister who relies on mental influence instead), extremely strong regeneration and durability, high speed, and what's called a "Supersonic Neon Dash", reminiscent of the light bikes in the TRON games - when he runs at high speed a trail of light behind him literally cuts through reality and then explodes over a large radius.

RetrospeX has plans to expand his influence across the Exe universe, but his creation faced one serious problem: unlike his sister his digital essence was glitched and stuck within the game, while his sister could freely exit it and explore other locations. This left him stuck in a cycle of killing game characters in a time loop, so his sister had to find a way to get him out. With the help of Seraphim Phobia whom she met on one of her missions, they altered the game's code and RetrospeX was able to escape the loop. In gratitude he soon married Sera and they've been together ever since :3

Appearance: Appearance Overall silhouette Tall, lanky, predatory hedgehog build. Exaggerated proportions huge head, long limbs, oversized clawed hands and feet give it a distorted, “glitchy” classic-Sonic shape. Fur Deep black / dark purple base with intense neon cyan and electric-blue glowing outlines on every spike, limb edge, and joint. The highlights look like scanlines or CRT bleed, especially on the quills and gloves. Quills Three massive, jagged black spikes sweeping back from the head, edged in bright cyan and magenta. The quills have a sharp, blade-like silhouette. Face & Expression Eyes: Completely pitch-black, pupil-less voids that dominate the face. Subtle cyan glow rims the sockets, making the stare feel empty and soulless. Mouth Permanently stretched into a horrifying ear-to-ear grin packed with jagged, uneven white teeth that glow cyan/blue. The smile is too wide, too sharp pure predator. Torso & Markings Bright yellow chest with a black lightning-bolt/“X” zigzag across it. Below the yellow is a horizontal rainbow stripe band (red → orange → yellow) that fades into the dark lower torso, echoing 8/16-bit color cycling. Limbs & Extremities Hands Large cyan claws protruding from glowing blue glove-like accents; fingers are long, sharp, and always curled like they’re ready to tear something apart. Feet/Shoes Massive, chunky retro shoes hot-pink/magenta base with cyan ankle cuffs, blue horizontal stripes, yellow circular “buttons,” and red/orange toe caps. The shoes have the classic pointed Sonic shape but look heavier and blood-stained in action scenes.
