#sonic inverse au

I've mentioned my Inverse AU a couple times in the past but never went into depth about it. This post will change that.
What's the Inverse AU? It's basically an AU inspired by the anti-personas in Archie Sonic, like Scourge, Rosy the Rascal, etc., but in a different direction.
Basically, almost every part of a Sonic character is the opposite. Sonic, the fast, agile, snarky, rebellious Hero of Mobius, is now Static, the slow, stiff, stone-cold, authoritarian Dictator of Suibom.
More info about other characters under the cut 👇
Static, as mentioned before, is the Dictator of Suibom. She spends most of their time cooped up in her castle, ruling Suibom with an iron fist from the comfort of their bedroom. She is cold, cruel, and indifferent to the suffering of their people; selfish, only caring about her own comfort at the exploitation of others.
Ivy Plantkin, (-Ivo Robitnik) known to the underground as the Chicken Woman (-Eggman), is the leader of the Chicken Coup, a powerful army of nature-loving mages fighting to reclaim land from Static's rule. Ivy is the most brilliant of those mages, both kind and competent.
The Meteres Twins (kilo "meter"), Key and Loe ("ki-lo" meter), known collectively as the Heads (-Tails) are living proof that two heads are not always better than one. If anything they're even stupider when they're together. They're Static's personal guards, two weirdly tanky 8 year olds that Static finds sooo goddamn annoying.
Annie Thorn (-Amy Rose) is the estranged wife of Static. She was forced into a marriage with Static for purely transactional reasons. She fucking hates it.
Anklette (-Knuckles) is just Rouge the Bat in Knuckles' body. Sly, smooth, sociable, and selfish, with a penchant for stealing.
Shimmer (-Shadow) is the cheeky and charming host of "Shimmer's Spotlight," Suibom's number one TV show. He's also Suibom's number two assassin, who's down horrendous for Static and does pretty much all his missions for her. Born in the countryside to the Plantkin family, a terrible accident led him to discover a thirst for blood that hasn't been quenched since.
Tired of writing detailed character bios. Speed round! Rosary (-Rouge) is a modest, plainly-dressed nun with no interest in material possessions and hates lying. Iota* (-Omega) is a peaceful nature spirit who's basically Baymax. Blizzard (-Blaze) is a chaotic terrorist with ice powers. S.O.O.T. (-Silver) is a weapon of mass destruction buried 200 years ago, only to be reawakened again.
And of course. Small the Cat. A vicious predator with an 99.99% kill rate. He's Suibom's number one assassin. Toady is the one victim he's never been able to kill, preventing him from having a 100% kill rate.
*Not really satisfied with this name for Inverse!Omega. Prone to change.

Personality inversion AU: Sonic and Tails
Sonic
Quite shy when it comes to people he doesn't know. It doesn't help that he's already a hog of few words.
Prefers to keep to himself and wishes Shadow would stop bothering him so often.
Nervous and skittish, constantly doubting himself.
Due to the above he meticulously plans things... but still needs some form of approval before he's actually comfortable in acting it out.
Cares a lot about how other people view him/very self conscience. He strives to be a person people can undoubtedly view as a hero because he doesn't want to disappoint. Because of this he beats himself up over any mistakes. Tails does not approve of this unhealthy behavior.
In a reverse of canon, Tails is actually the one to rub off on Sonic and help him become more confident in his abilities.
Worries over things a little too much.
Hates competition.
Doesn't really like going new places but will if it's for the sake of others. Unleashed is basically a nightmare for him.
Can be very patient. Sometimes to a fault.
When it comes to forgiveness though he does struggle to give somebody who has hurt people a second chance but tries anyways if they seem to be genuinely remorseful about it. He doesn't have it in him to kill someone but he doesn't hide the fact he loathes Eggman.
Tails
Got bullied for his tails but fought back, being even more excluded from other people. Because of this he's a bit feral at times.
Sonic found him tinkering with something by chance and while their first meeting didn't go too smoothly due to his standoffish nature they do end up becoming like brothers.
Actually has a healthy sleep schedule, unlike Sonic.
Tends to jump between projects all the time instead of getting focused on just one.
Despite becoming more relaxed after meeting Sonic he still has an intimidating demeanor and a bite to his speech out of habit.
Kinda likes being the spotlight/hero because people actually seem to like him. So while not really an attention seeker he's definitely not opposed to it either.
Tends to be a bit smug about his mechanical abilities and is confident in his skills, sometimes to a fault.
Annoyed when people doubt his skills.
Can be surprisingly hyper.
Likes to taunt his opponents much to Sonic's dismay.

Dc au- the doomed sisters
Their parallels to Sonic and Tails are my fave thing to think about cuz it’s like an inverse situation
The older sibling leaves and the younger sibling wants them to come back
Except one leaves to be the hero and one leaves to be the villain and their siblings respond by becoming the opposite to get them back
But they can’t come back… not right now…

only a little shade to sonadows (no ill intent) but like. out of all of sonic’s rivalries you cannot deny that sonic and jet did it RIGHT. knuckles and sonic have cool parallels. shadow was literally made to be a reflection
but jet??? jet is an INVERSION. no, literally, that was the plan it’s why his colour scheme is swapped. jet is literally another sonic but if he was Some Guy instead of a famous hero. normal au sonic is just jet and i LOVE it. they have the same personality same charisma same stubbornness same need for speed same arrogance AND YET!!! jet’s relationship with his team isn’t opposite, just shadier than with sonic. jet in general is shadier than sonic. he’s more spoiled and greedy but when push comes to shove, he’s a bit of a hero too
and. OAUFBDKSKFUJFJNFFJJ. i’m not saying you need to be identical for a rival, but the gayness??? hello!!! the playful banter never ends because they’re the same archetype and everything, they’ll always bounce off of one another and relate like no other character can AND YET be abrasive and different enough.
wanna know why they still fight? because the kind of character they are doesnt like when there’s more than one of themselves. there can only be ONE. knuckles and sonic are two sides of a coin. shadow and sonic are two sides of the same coin. sonic and jet are the SAME side of the coin but two separate coins. and they need to be unique
anyways this is why sonjet will always be the best rival ship for sonic imo like you cannot fucking beat these guys

puella madoka magica au
Reality is coming down around them.
II can feel the fabric of it warp and bend, tears carved at a molecular level spilling antimatter across the sky. A kaleidoscope of color shimmers high above them like a bursting star. Scattered infrared trickles down as particulate, psychedelic nuclear fallout. The taste is akin to pop rocks candy mixed with battery acid. It fizzles on the tongue. Nauseating like a free fall, that split second suspension before a roller coaster drop.
II hasn’t been on a roller coaster since he was a teenager. He breathes out slowly, trying to orient himself in the non euclidean geometry reshaping the ruins around them, spreading like an infection. 
To say they’ve fucked up is an understatement.
They were fools for thinking they could bring Sleep through to the other side. As if they could contain the endless possibility of a thing not meant to be contained, not meant to walk or float or do anything other than be. Oh, He had wanted, yes, and wanted so badly, but He’d been unable to conceive of what that wanting truly meant. How do you picture a color that doesn’t exist, the inversion of everything you are?
It turns out neither had they. They’d simply listened to the want that throbbed in their bones like an ache, trusting blindly that a god would have figured it all out already, gifting them glory and ascension with His emerging as promised. 
But collapsing the barrier between domains hadn’t brought anything other than the collapsing, and now III and IV are gone. 
The First Vessel writhes at his side, and this concerns him more than anything else. 
II musters what energy he has to lean over, chewing his lip to pieces, hands hovering over his beloved friend but unsure of where to place them. This wasn’t supposed to happen. III and IV’s demise, the agony The First displays as he claws at the ground, it's all a composite of every nightmare he’s ever had — only pinching himself won’t make it stop.
“What’s wrong?” II’s voice is tight with worry bubbling over into panic. How quickly helplessness can chew away at his resolve and leave him scrambling. “Please, tell me how I can help.”
Vessel’s throat strains but the only thing he can manage is a whimper. He’s jerking side to side as if he’s trying to hold on, or…no, like he’s trying to keep something in. Fighting back an invisible force raging within.
II’s blood goes cold. His hand darts out to cup a masked cheek, calling out his name yet again, pleading with him to hold on, to focus on his voice, please, he’s right here — 
Vessel’s body snaps upward like a stop motion marionette. II barely has time to register the crack of snapping bones before Vessel’s jaw drops open to let out a scream unlike anything he’s ever heard. It lances directly through II’s skull, pure anguish amplified into a sonic tidal wave that has him drawing his arms up on instinct. 
Thinking past that noise is impossible. It echoes off of shattered glass and rubble until II’s certain the whole world will be swallowed by it. It’s like his soul is being dissolved while he’s still breathing, a violent disintegration of being. A blur of opalescent darkness arcs up from him and shoots into the sky like a bolt of cosmic lightning.
The First Vessel is dying. Sleep is dying, too. 
What’s reborn from their desiccated husks is neither man nor god. Misshapen, malnourished, desperate to exist yet unable to bend to the laws of the universe it’s been thrust into. It cries and the air around it emits superheated vapor, blowing out then turning in on itself to form localized vacuums. The dreams of countless minds spill out from a shifting sea of mouths all caught muttering and giggling and sighing and sobbing, vomiting blurs of sound and light that II can’t bear to look at. They morph and tremble, uncertain now that they’re free, painting the landscape in shadows wherever they crawl.
The ground around them is starting to grow teeth.
“Why?” II can barely hear himself over the cacophony rising from the apocalypse in motion. Tears spill down his cheeks and crystallize. “I don’t understand.”
The thing that is not god or a man is laughing. 
“Why did this have to happen?”
The thing that is not a god or a man is weeping.
Black tar is gurgling underneath him, rising like a tide. Hands sprout from the muck to latch onto his limbs and drag him down with exponential speed. He doesn’t fight it. His head is still craned to the sky, to what remains of the man he loves, and he closes his eyes to pray for one last wish. 
This can’t be how it ends. If he could just turn back the clock he’d stop this from ever happening, do things right, save all of them, he could he could he could —
He opens his eyes to a white ceiling and an alarm blaring in his ears. It figures the afterlife would be noisy and...familiar? That's the word. There's an uncomfortable warmth radiating from the soft sheets beneath him and the duvet above, body heat trapped between both after hours of rest. A mundane discomfort.
Wait a second.
He violently kicks off the sheets tangled around his sweaty legs and slams his palm on the snooze button, heart at a gallop. Dull blue light leaks through the cheap venetian blinds at his window.
His window. This is his room, in his flat, in…
He scrambles for the smartphone left precariously at his bedside table, tapping it on. The date on the lockscreen is January of 2016.
Oh, shit.
Either his brain has just taken him on the longest, most wickedly lucid nightmare of his entire life, or he’s been granted a miracle.

[Image ID: six digital drawings of different designs for Sonic the Hedgehog, arranged in two rows. The background is plain white. Handwritten notes comment on certain aspects of the designs.
Starting from the top left is Sonic the Hedgecat (aka Daybreak Sonic). This is the Light Gaia counterpart to Sonic the Werehog. Hedgecat Sonic is lean and slender, with large ears, a long tufted tail, and sharp, insectoid green wings. His blue fur is several shades lighter and paler, though his muzzle, underbelly, and paws remain dark brown. His quills have turned a pale orange with white tips, turning up slightly at the ends. The tip of his tail and the tips of his claws are also orange. His eyes are a bright lime green, with white where his pupils should be.
To the right of the hedgecat is a soft redesign of the Werehog, now also known as Nightfall Sonic. In this form, Sonic's build is less slender and more bulky, with fluffier fur, broader shoulders, and thicker limbs. His quills are far thicker and fluffier. His ears are small and pointed, curving slightly inward. His eyes are dark green, and his pupils are enlarged, the black almost engulfing the green completely. His fur is a desaturated blue, and his quills are dark purple, with black spreading from their tips like ink. His large claws and short, wolf-like tail are tipped with the same black.
The rightmost design in the top row is Twilight Sonic, a fusion of hedgecat and werehog. Twilight Sonic's fur is darker than the hedgecat's, brighter than the werehog's, and more saturated than both. His green eyes, likewise, are somewhere between the hedgecat's bright lime and the werehog's dark forest. The Twilight form has the hedgecat's insectoid wings, but they are now a cooler green, and have a bend in the middle like an arm. The edges of the wings are worn and tattered. His tail is longer than the werehog's, but shorter and fluffier than the hedgecat's. His quills are dark blue, with pale blue on their bases near the head and on their upward-curving tips. His tail, similarly, has a pale blue tip with a ring of darker blue below.
In the bottom left is Super Sonic. His fur is a rich gold-orange. His quills are pale yellow and curve smoothly upwards, not just at the tips like the hedgecat's. His eyes are purple, with light purple pupils; text beside them notes that they can shift color depending on his mood, but are usually purple.
To the right of Super Sonic is Nega Sonic. Nega Sonic's colors are the inverse of regular Sonic. His fur is a rusty orange, and instead of dark brown, his muzzle and underbelly are a pale, icy blue. His quills are pale yellow, like Super Sonic's, but don't curve up. His eyes are pure black with magenta irises and white pupils, and his teeth are likewise black with white edging.
Finally, in the bottom right corner, there are two designs for Sonic as a toddler and a child. Behind them is a png of his teen design (said teen design can be seen here) for comparison, at a slightly lower opacity than the rest of the drawings. Toddler Sonic (in the 2-3 year age range) is very small, his head only reaching to just above teen Sonic's knee. He is chubbier than his older selves and has stubbier limbs. His ears, on the other hand, look far too big for him. His fur is paler than teen Sonic's, while his eyes are much darker, almost black.
Child Sonic, who is somewhere in the 7-11 year age range, has richer colors than Child Sonic, but still lighter than teen Sonic's. His eyes are more obviously green, but still darker than his teenage self. He is brown markings have a reddish hue. He is much taller and leaner than toddler Sonic, but still a head shorter than his teenage self. His ears still look oversized. /end ID]
can't make a redesign of Gaia AU Sonic without taking his transformations into account. these are all still rough drafts, mostly so I could test how the new, still developing design would fit with his different forms. it was also a chance to play around with colors. shout out to my brother for giving my feedback despite knowing full well I would go with the opposite of whatever he said. you're a real one Iz.
another big sketch dump below, with some bonus Blazes and Pretzels because you know I love my cat girls. Mario might also be in there, dunno what that was about. once again not ID'ing the sketches because they're just. a lot. there's a lot of them and they're repetitive. don't worry about it.

A Handy-Dandy Guide to the Cast’s Regional Dialects
A couple people have asked me how the cast would sound in the AU. So, I figured I’d give my go on how I imagine the cast would sound! Bare in mind I don’t know Literally Every Regional Dialect In The World, so I might word things wrong. It’s a bit of a long tangent, so I’ll put it under the read-more to spare everyone’s dashes of my accent jargon.
Filbo: In the base game, he has a General American English dialect (to avoid repeating over and over again, a General American English dialect means a pretty standard American accent with no real quirks here or there). I imagine in this AU, he sounds the same.
Ripley: I actually made a video on my primary Bugsnax blog about what I imagine my OCs would sound like, Ripley included. My voice claim for them is Haley Joel Osment, so hopefully that gives a good idea of what they’d sound like!
Triffany: In the base game, Triffany has a fairly pronounced and noticeable Midwest accent (I'd say a mix of Minnesota and Milwaukee-Wisconsin accent). I think she would have a slightly gruffer accent in AU, something closer to a Boston or New Jersey dialect. It would probably match her tougher, more cynical personality.
Cromdo: In the base game, Cromdo has a thick ‘Eyyy-I’m-Walkin’-Here New Jersey/New York accent. It would go unchanged in the AU.
Wiggle: I’ll be honest and admit I haven’t the foggiest idea what you’d classify Wiggle’s accent to be. Sure, it’s a posh-sounding dialect, but which dialect specifically is beyond me. British? Californian? Beats me. Either way, I imagine she’d sound about the same, maybe a little softer.
Gramble: In the base game, Gramble has a southern accent. More specifically, he has a mid-southern Cajun accent. In the AU, he’d sound about the same, albeit it a posh sort of flamboyance to it (I’d say something similar to Dolly Parton).
Wambus: Like Gramble, he also has a southern accent, but specifically an Appalachian accent. In the AU, he’d sound about the same.
Beffica: In the base game, Beffica has a classic Californian “valley girl” accent, and it’s no different in the AU. It’s all about the brand recognition, baby!
Chandlo: Like Beffica, Chandlo also has a Californian dialect, but more similar to a “surfer”/“dudebro” sort of accent. But surprisingly, in the AU, it’s a lot different. I wanted to give him an accent that was European like Snorpy’s, but still has that Californian edge. The easiest answer? SCOTTISH. Tragically, I have no idea how to write Scottish dialogue, so just imagine his dialogue with a Scottish accent.
Snorpy: Snorpy is an inverse on Chandlo’s accent change. Instead of a Californian becoming European, he’s a European (more specifically, a British person) becoming Californian. He’d sound pretty similar to Sonic the Hedgehog (who, coincidentally, his voice actor played too), but with more maturity behind his voice.
Shellsy: As Shellsy isn’t doing the whole “Shelda” jargon in this AU, she’d have the dialect she does in the parts of the game where she breaks character (which I have to assume is also American General English? But I could be wrong).
Flooftix: When in character, Floofty maintains their canonical British accent, only heavily exaggerated. But out of character, they drop the accent, having a similar Californian dialect to Snorpy.
Lizbert: In the base game, Lizbert has a rough Australian accent. In the AU, I imagine it’d be downplayed, almost British-sounding, to match her more reserved personality.
Eggabell: Last but not least, Eggabell! She has a American General English accent, and it’d stay the same in the AU.
So, there you have it! If you need resources on how to write the cast’s dialogue, or even how to portray it in comic dubs, now you know! Hope this is of help.

Wanted to Ask this on my second account which is strictly Sonic stuff @the-likeable-sonic-fan-mack but, it won’t let me so… Let’s get these headcannons rolling. //Also some of them may be from an Au I’m working in on the background sooooo//
-Zeti as a species are more on the range is lawful neutral to chaotic neutral. Yeah they are a powerful warrior race but, they won’t go out of the way to viciously go after a individual or group unless they strike first. //Why the deadly six hate Eggman and Sonic is because, for one Eggman enslaved them and two Sonic went out of his way and beat up two of their members so, guy must want to throw hands as well// Basically an “F around and find out kind of attitude. They have no regard really for anyone other than their own race since while there are other Zeti on the Lost Hex there aren’t a lot. Most of them just are in there own packs.
-Zeti are more likely to be carnivores than omnivores but, they can eat both meats and anything other than meat. Which also makes them pretty dangerous hunters. And most Zeti have a different hunting style than others, some take a more direct approach while others uses sabotage. (Also small Headcannon of Prolonged eye contact with a Zeti would either make them a) uncomfortable or b) VERY pissed off because they think your challenging them. Mainly case in point, please don’t stare at Zazz. He will fight you and you will not win.)
-A Zeti’s internal system are different from a mobians and humans internal system where as their organs are always likely to have the case of having situs inverses which means that the organs in your chest and stomach are basically reversed and on the opposite side of one another. In most species this is a genetic mutation but, it’s completely harmless in Zeti. Zeti can also choose to be bipedal or quadrupedal, some prefer to walk on all fours while other prefer to walk upright.
-A Zeti’s horns are everything to them. Their horns are very VERY durable and it takes a lot to break. Most Zeti use there horns in combat for territory to poke and scratch and sometimes they use them to make marks on trees to claim a territory.
And so far that’s all I have for now. I have a ton more but I have to write them out.
Oh these are really interesting!
I especially like the starring headcanon ; makes a lot of sense. Zazz would get so mad if he catches you starring.
And we share a headcanon on the horns! Zetis are all incredibly proud of their horns and even when fighting, they specifically avoid hitting each other's horns. Having your horns broken off is a severe punishment, reserved only for the worst crimes.

Do you have anything else from the reversed au? And or the Sonic Kryztallized au? If so can you share them?
FUCK I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO POST ABOUT THOSE.
Okay okay so I don't really have any art but!! I do have rambles.
So the Kryztallized AU is basically the AU where I rewrite so many aspects of the original franchise to my own personal tastes that it basically becomes a whole other universe. It doesn't really follow a set theme or main schtick, it's just a combination of my personal headcanons plus worldbuilding.
Reversed/Inverted AU does have a schtick, though— everyone is a complete inverse of themself, from their personality, to role, to the powers they have, even their origin story to flipped to reflect the opposite of their counterpart.
For example: Inverted Sonic is named Static, since unlike her speedy and energetic counterpart, this AU Sonic is slow and lazy. They are cold, calculating, cruel, and controlling, does not care for friendship, is only interested in others if it furthers her own agenda, and can be downright abusive to those close to them at her worst.
(Btw, both Sonics are transfem and use she/they pronouns, just wanted to clarify.)
They are the Dictator of Suibom (Inverted Mobius), ruling the planet with an iron fist. She loves the water, frequently seen floating around on private beaches and taking lots of hot baths. They wear lots of pants, but hates wearing shirts. As mentioned before, she is slow, lazy, and lethargic, and physically very weak. They rely on her army for defense and manpower. They are a master of manipulation, compensating for being a weak ass bitch physically by making her adversaries think they're incredibly strong, and are willing to do anything to ensure her reign and keep the status quo.
I have more info on other characters (Shimmer, Heads, Annie Thorn, Rosary, Miss Plantkin aka Chickenwoman, etc.) if you want to know more ^^ I just figured to put them in their own post to make it easier to organize.
Thank you so much for letting me ramble!! I really appreciate you asking about my AUs a lot!!

Personality Inversion AU: Knuckles and Omega - aka the third members of their respective teams.
Knuckles
Not very interested in protecting the Master Emerald but begrudgingly does it anyways for the good of the world.
Laid back.
Cunning and actually tries to calculate his next move.
Always willing to try new things.
Rarely jumps to conclusions.
Pretty easy to reason with.
Likes having friends he can rely on and isn't afraid to say it.
Isn't really afraid to say anything that comes to his mind, really. Even if it's self deprecating.
Not very stubborn in most cases.
Omega
Not murderous in the slightest.
Only hurts things at first while under Eggman's control/watchful eye because he doesn't want to get dismantled.
After being freed he only destroys if it's to protect.
Actually considers stealth as an option and thinks before he leaps.
Instead of disliking Eggman for wasting his potential he dislikes Eggman for not giving him a better purpose than mindless destruction.

Day 95.
There isn't much going on with this day's mission. Xaldin can give you an item if you do the Challenge version of Mission 16, but I didn't do that. I did the regular Mission 16 again, but couldn't get the final chest still.
To get to other worlds' challenges you apparently need to press L-R.
The mission itself is about beating Heartless. The boss here is a Barrier Master-Large Armor combo. Defeat the first, then the second, then defeat the remaining Heartless in Agrabah Street.
After the mission, Ice Cream scene features the trio discussing the nature of Nobodies. Axel states unlike generic Nobodies, the humanoid Nobodies remember their pasts, which is what makes them unique (this is probably not entirely correct), but Roxas, and Xion can't. There is a lot of jokes about Demyx as well.
The stinger of the Day is Naminé, and Ansem DiZ near the mansion.
You get Ability Unit 1 upon complation.
The diary entry is Roxas wondering about his past.
For why the Axel comment incorrect lore-wise, in the context of KH2, all Nobodies, yes, all Nobodies, from the humble Creeper to the big man Xemnas, have some memory of their past, which is part of why they are Nobodies, and not generic liches. DDD, and KH3 further complicate this, implying that the only reason apprentice Nobodies kept their memories is because they became Nobodies through artificial means, whereas the former Keyblade Wielder 4 became Nobodies the classic way (by being attacked by Heartless, and losing their hearts), and thus lost most of theirs.
This may be due to context of Days, of course, since as we discussed before, the game implies the reason Sora-Roxas exist separately is due to Kairi holding onto Sora's memories, but this additional context implies Sora, as Roxas, would remember his past otherwise, and Sora's Heartless would not have many memories to retain its individuality, which would be inverse of the canon timeline. This seems like an interesting AU premise at least.
In the case of Xion, of course, as Metal Sonic impersonating as Dr. Eggman said to Shadow in Sonic Heroes to make him think he is one of the Androids, due to being a replica, she has no past to remember. Outside of Sora's memories of Kairi, and various other memories Xion parasitically absorbs, she is just a robot with plastic covering. Anything that is unique about her is about her construction by Vexen, but obviously the trio, and presumably the audience are supposed to care about her relationships, and realize her connections are what make her Xion... in KH3. Not here, obviously.

Into, Across and Beyond! Cast: EX!Alice
Replaces: Peni Parker and SP//dr Created by: ASTRANOMICONX (Original Alice), AetherAsterisk (this retake)
Tumblr media
"I'm not afraid of you!"
Alice, Xenophanes' accomplice and original second-in-command as he terrorised the globe with his altered copy of Sonic Adventure 2. Originally, she enjoyed assisting the crystalline God in his killings.
However, after enough time, she stood up to his temptations and willingly left him behind, going off the grid to get away from him. After that point, she lived out what was left of her days as a novelist in a secluded location that not even her family knew about.
Problem was, one can't just outrun a God. After Xeno got his new apprentice in the form of Caffrin the Gamer Girl, Alice was tracked down and killed, with her soul being forced into a new game, which was a supposedly-planned sequel to Sonic 1 which was split into Sonic 2 and CD. Some say her body is still sealed in the game, her heart on a pedestal close to it.
Tumblr media
After then, a special vessel of Amy Rose was made specifically for Alice, but her determination to take down Xenophanes and his little sidekick once and for all never wavered, and so she spent plenty of runs helping players evade their own impending fates and taking any means necessary to ultimately win.
Granted, due to being seen as predictable, she never managed to come out on top, but she did a real good job holding out against the tyranny of her old friend and his new accomplice. But all soon changed when Veronica, Caffrin's sister in the real world, forced herself into the game to put things right and turn her sister back to a positive light.
They later succeeded in getting Caffrin to make a change, and she later contributed in finally putting an end to the monster, albeit at the cost of her life. Alice couldn't remain angry at Caffrin for what she did, especially considering the invaluable sacrifice she made to save many.
With the game world now lacking a monstrous ruler, Alice was able to dig through the code to help her with readying for further combat if necessary, which led to the creation of her trusty custom Big Arms mech, E4-R6:3 (a.k.a; Sonic 3 - Round 6: Boss 3), complete with AI taken from Sonic Generations.
She was the sixth and final initial member of the Blur Gang to show up in One More Hero, initially present to track down energy sources to temporarily use for boosting E4's power, and OMT!Tails was happy to help her out, alongside finding a way to get her back home. She made close friends with her new companions, though was still quite reserved from what went on, to the point that E4 isn't considered a friend to her in this AU.
At one point, Alice and E4 were left alone with Surge, who saw her as no different to the other Sonics, Tails and Amys of the multiverse, which gave her the motivation to badly damage E4 and almost pummel Alice within an inch of her life. Fortunately, Mr. Needlemouse was there to help bail her out of there, while OMT!Tails carried her to safety during the rabbit-hog's attack.
Sadly, the injuries left her with serious brain damage, causing her to lose much of her old memories and relegate into a genki girl personality to move past her trauma, a sort of inversion of what Peni went through, in a way. Her time in the vessel also aged her down from her mid-30s to roughly 16. Needless to say, she's become really optimistic and adorable in general because of it.
Amongst things, as the team mostly had their own quirks and the majority of them shot down OMT!Tails for not being ready, EX!Alice, even with most of her memories gone, remained one of those able to keep them connected as a team and encourage them to cooperate in the quest to stop Eggman Nega after Uma had to be hospitalised. This speech best sums it up:
"Hey now, hey now! Are we really going to leave Tails behind?! [...] The only reason you four are opting for this in the end is because YOU (CR!Sonic) grew bitter of your own Tails and got all angsty, YOU (OMT!Mina) lost yours to a monster and became a loner, and YOU two (Mini Sonic and Mr. Needlemouse) might not even have a Tails as a sidekick. [...] My point is, we've all got our own talents, but your ability to work together as a team is getting strained. I know I've got this vessel, but I'm still just a human. But when I had a plan, and I got help from a friend, we were able to achieve the impossible. Now, you're each the heroes of your worlds. Just imagine what could happen if YOU did that, along with Tails. You could save the universe."
During that finale, when it was time for Alice to leave, she gave Tails a portable SEGA console to use when he felt like doing so, and left a truly optimistic young gal. She did manage to construct a new mecha in good time for More than One Universe and other stories, and in good time, too, especially with the threat count further expanding across the multiverse.
