2017x

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 behaviours 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.
