guardians and secondaries

before for i start talking about individual characters, im gonna talk about the two labels they fall under so things aren’t confusing 👍

intro

within each zone, 2 emeralds protect and preserve the land and various villages scattered throughout. the manifestations of the emeralds are called either a guardian or a secondary.

there are shrines dedicated to each emeralds hidden somewhere in the 3 zones that villagers bring gifts to and say their thanks to the manifestations for keeping them safe

(“but if there’s 7 emeralds, where’s the last one?” i hear you asking and to that i say be patient i’ll explain it in a later post)

if the emerald itself, which is located at the shrine, is removed: the manifestation will grow weaker the longer its out.

if the emerald is destroyed: the manifestation dies

guardians

the guardian is the primary protector of the zone, previously holding the power of two emeralds (the dominant emerald being the more powerful while the other is more like a back up)

They’re much stronger than their secondary and if their emerald breaks, they will reform alongside it once the gem is fully restored

secondaries

a secondary forms when a guardian willingly transfers some of their power into their non-dominant emerald, creating a new manifestation. secondaries are considered to be a guardian’s right hand and once they form, that’s when their shrine is created

while they may be magically weaker than their counterpart, their strengths lie more in how they assist their guardian and villagers (such as wisdom, optimism, courage, etc)

when a secondary’s emerald breaks, there is no way for them to be reformed and the power returns to the guardian

to sum it up in a few words

guardians are protectors

secondaries are helpers

and now that my exams are done i can finally put some energy into this hooray

#the emerald isle #still don’t know how often i’ll be posting on this i’m still designing characters #but it will happen

[the-emerald-isle-au]

I am so excited to see your ideas on this au. When does sonic meets tails?

aww thank you!! i’m excited to talk about it!

and sonic and this version of tails (also known as onyx) meet later on down the timeline of him being on the island. i’ll get into it more in future posts

hello!

this is an au created by @0vergrowngraveyard. idk if there’s any real plot to it yet. it started off as character design practice then became a kitesune!tails au then it spiraled into this so i’m still figuring shit out as i go lmao

feel free to ask questions to either myself or the characters! i’m not sure how often this will be updated but i sure will try

general story:

an accident involving the chaos emeralds sends sonic to an alternate dimension (it’s kinda like a shatterverse) where his friends (+eggman and sage) have very strong connections to the chaos emeralds and all dwell on an island called the emerald isle

the main island is split into 3 areas:

- flaming core zone

- whispering woods zone

- luminous ravines zone

each area has its own unique ecosystem and little villages where his friends are seen as great protectors

there’s also one tiny island that can be seen from the shorelines of the flaming core zone that appears to be home to very futuristic technology but it’s not a place that any of the inhabitants of the main island travel to. plus it’s usually covered by fog anyway there’s no need to worry about it, right? as they say: out of sight, out of mind

in order to get home, he needs to collect all 7 of the chaos emeralds but it’s proving to be a little challenging

unsurprisingly, these new versions of his friends are a tad bit protective over their power sources and none of them are trusting sonic nearly as quickly as he hoped they would. in fact, a lot of them seem to straight up dislike him! i guess that’s what happens when you ask someone to give up their power for a complete stranger

i’ll get more into the specifics in future posts but this is the basic idea of it

i hope you guys enjoy my ramblings about this silly little idea that’s been spinning in my head like a microwave 🩵
