That's right, you did draw her! You drew a lot of my OC's! KurtXTiffany was one of my favorite pairings! I loved their kids! Thanks again for drawing them!

That's okay; we're both fans of the comic. The early comic is pretty cheesy XD

You're too kind! I just figured, hey, that's what Eggman does! If you're gonna play as the bad guy, might as well do it right :D I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I don't think your reaction time is the problem; I think the game is glitched. It's impossible to hit that ramp at the end without a little bit of help from the game.

Ah, I was thinking of two different things. That scene is really awesome. I got really tired of Omega, though. Shadow really didn't need any help. And honestly, neither did Rouge. They're both cool and strong without a killer robot backing them up.

See, I like the name Tiffany. Paula-Su works, and it fits with the rest of the names. It hits the ear weird for me. But like you said, I don't want to change already named OC's, either. Good explanation for Tiffany's name, too! 

 

Thanks for the comments on my bios! I love the strong female characters, too!

Here is a picture of Linda that I did sooooo many years ago: http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/nextguardian/576030/Linda-2-In-Color

Sounds like we can get started. You first, then I'll follow?

I think, as Eggman, you should have been able to roboticize the animals you caught for the chao garden and use them to attack! Imagine having an army of Orbinaut's! XD

Those speed segments were an acquired taste. But I liked the feel of the speed. It was kind of...free feeling, I guess? Yup, Amy's ability was turning invisible. Weird. I would love an Archie Comics-based game!

That really is an awesome line from Shadow! I also love that one cutscene where he takes the power rings off his wrists and just blitzes Mephiles' minions! That was so cool!

Cool! Let's go with that then. Embarrassingly, I totally forgot about Kurt! I remembered Paula-Su, though! Gotta change that name, though. Yikes, my naming abilities kind of sucked back then. Kurt is good, though!

I just uploaded Ekyt and Linda's bios!

Cool! I'll take a look right now!

Linda-Su would probably suggest them because she'll know them through her sister, Julie-Su. I was thinking- Linda should probably have some kind of injury that forces her out of the fight. There's no way she'd just accept being rescued otherwise. Maybe a twisted ankle or something.

Sonic's levels were good; Tails were kind of interesting. Amy's were necessary, but I didn't really enjoy them. Knuckles' mission was cool and necessary, but I hated having to dig around like that. Big...not necessary. At all. I liked SA2 a lot, but having Tails in a mech kind of bugged me. I would have preferred that being unique to Robotnik/Eggman, since Tails is plenty interesting on his own.
 
The thing that bugged me the most wasn't a glitch. It was that simply jumping wasn't an attack- you had to use a homing attack, or you hurt yourself. One thing I really liked was the "Let's speed up" section of the game, where you simply run at full speed. Once you learned how to dodge the irritating freakin' trees, it was fun!
What I cannot understand (besides Silver's lack of intelligence)- why can Amy turn invisible? It just made no sense...As far as Elise goes...I liked her as far as she had an interesting concept. I would rather have set this whole thing in the Kingdom of Acorn, and have Princess Sally involved.
It was awesome that Shadow just simply got to be bad. He didn't cry "Maria!" every three seconds and shift into emo mode. I don't like it when he gets too tight with Sonic and company- he's better off being the trump card that shows up and saves (or destroys) somebody.

That is the question, isn't it...I was thinking that maybe we make it even a bit sappier. I think Ekyt should fall for Linda-Su first. Then maybe they can be fighting back-to-back, trying to hold out for help, and he winds up getting injured defending her. She drags him to safety, and maybe a Tiffany and Knuckles team clears out the rest of the bad guys. We could invent a legend about the "healing power of the Master Emerald". If we want to have drama, maybe Tiffany, Knuckles, and Linda-Su- the three people who know Ekyt best- have to decide to use the power of the emerald, since Ekyt can't speak for himself at this point. They make this decision while knowing that there are side effects to using Chaos Energy to heal someone- especially a human. So then, we can have the three of them feeling guilty about his transformation, or they can be worried that they made the wrong choice. Since I would imagine species-changing carries psychological effects, Ekyt won't be sure himself. He could even blame the three of them for a while, before needing the ability to glide and interact better with the Master Emerald and realizing that this is for the better.

If I were to outline the beginning as I think it would work best, it would go something like this:
1. Tiffany's individual story
2. Ekyt's individual story and his (and Knuckles) capture
3. Tiffany's rescue attempt and meeting Linda-Su
4. The escape
5. The return and the "emerald retrieval scenario" (that's a great idea you came up with!)
From there, I was thinking that maybe Tiffany takes Linda-Su to the Freedom Fighters for Linda's protection (I don't know where else Tiffany would take her, while I'm thinking about it). This sets up two meetings: Tiffany and the Freedom Fighters, and Ekyt meeting Linda-Su.

I liked the first Sonic Adventure because Sonic's levels still felt like the "old" Sonic games. That, and all the history about the Echidnas and the emeralds. And the music was pretty awesome, too.
I liked Sonic 06, too! The glitches were bad, yeah, but the game itself was beautiful. And I kind of rolled my eyes at people who didn't play it because of Sonic and Elise kissing. THAT'S the deal breaker? This is fantasy, people. Now, Silver...I flat out hated him, if I'm honest. Still do -_-'
I still love the game's opening. When Sonic is on the ground, reaching for Shadow and falling...that was like, wow, the first time I saw it. How cool is Sega to beat up their own main character?! (You've seen what I've done to Ekyt and co- I clearly have no issue with beating him up!).

Really? Huh. I might have to give that a try with my latest Resident Evil fic.

Oh, one more thing about our story- I was thinking that maybe, at some point, I might have Ekyt actually species-shift into an echidna. Maybe exposure to the Master Emerald and his proximity to echidnas prompt the shift. I was thinking that maybe he gets fatally injured, and the power of the emerald is used to heal him. Dr. Quack predicts that he'll crystallize like King Acorn, but instead he...mutates? I don't know- I was just playing around with the concept- what do you think?

Sounds perfect! Let's go with that :)

I like Sonic Heroes. My favorite games are still on the Genesis, but as far as 3D games go, that one probably comes right after the first Sonic Adventure for me. 
Generations is totally worth playing. Beyond a kind of lame final boss, it's really cool and very well done.
I remember I said some very, er, "creative" things when playing that part of the game XD

I've thought about FF.net, but I haven't had much in the way of good experiences there. They tend to get...uppity...at the mere mention of anything non-canon -_-'
It would be fun to RP again! I can't remember the last time I Rp'ed!
 

I think I know how we can do this. There was a device in the echidna history section called the Chaos Syphon, which could, well, syphon the power of the chaos emeralds (and is the reason a single "master" emerald exists). What if Robotnik salvaged this technology, meaning to use it against Sonic, and instead is forced to turn it on Tiffany to keep her contained. The thing about the Chaos Syphon that is great for our purposes is that it can only hold so much energy- Ekyt knows this. Grudgingly agreeing to help Shadow for Tiffany's sake, Ekyt uses his abilities to purposely overload the machine. Shadow is then free to use his chaos energy to get Tiffany to safety. Maybe Tiffany has to convince Shadow to grab Ekyt on the way out, since Ekyt is unconscious from the explosion of the machine? Here is more info about the Chaos Syphon: ​http://archiesonic.wikia.com/wiki/Chaos_Syphon

Sonic Heroes definitely had it's good points. I liked the character models. The size was just right, the limbs were proportioned well. The game was fun to play, most of all! I loved Generations, though you're right about the voice acting. For me, the highlight was the 3D Sky Sanctuary level. That was so cool in 3D! 
That's true- everybody attacks Shadow the whole time. I wish I could have knocked Vector into space; he got so annoying after a while. I didn't like driving- it was faster to just skate.

Yeah, that could work! Tiffany sees Linda-Su chained up, next in line to be roboticized, and gets her free. Good idea!

I know what you mean -_-' After I posted a Resident Evil fic here and got no comments, I finally started putting stuff on DA. It's frustrating -_-'  On the upside, I've heard from Alchemest1 lately- he actually wants to RP with us again. I'm sure he'll be good for comments!

Sounds good! Can't wait to read what you've got!

Hmm...what about them being in a room where the power of the Chaos Emeralds are somehow blocked? That's one thing Ekyt and Shadow have in common- the ability to use emeralds. Given that Ekyt is a human and a guardian, I think he would be exposed to the chaos emerald enough to store a small amount of power in himself at any given time. But if we handicap them that way, they'd have to work together and be resourceful. Maybe they're dodging around Robotnik's base, both looking for Tiffany (who, since she's awesome, has already escaped). We'd need to dream up why Tiffany was there (some sort of probationary Freedom Fighters mission?, but then we can write about Tiffany and Linda-Su saving the boys.

I was thinking- instead of having Ekyt start out having Linda as his girlfriend, maybe they could somehow meet through Tiffany? 

Sonic Heroes had maybe the worst voice acting, though. Tails sounded like a 6 year old speed XD I liked the concept of it, but it came across as too...cartoony? That's not the right word, but it's the closest thing I can think of.
Yeah, that's a good point. All those bosses did get old quickly. I liked that you had a lot of areas to run, er, skate through without having to stop dead. I didn't mind him using a gun so much as how they had you control it. It alternated between being impossible to aim and being ridiculously easy to aim.

Do you want to go first and I'll match whatever you do with Tiffany's backstory? I can lengthen or condense Ekyt's story fairly easily (since his past will be investigated later on, most likely as part of a guardian test).

It'll be interesting to have two main characters in open conflict. Shadow and Sonic kind of get along now, but Ekyt and Shadow can have a good feud. It can lead to a storyline where they have no choice but to work together maybe.

I think I liked Knuckles because of the video games. I always had an easier time playing as him than any other character. As far as Shadow goes, I wasn't a fan at first, but now- absolutely! I actually enjoyed the Shadow video game, despite it getting low marks. I liked the concept, the music was awesome. The weapons and vehicles needed some work, but I loved the rest. 

That sounds good to me. Do you want to do like a two chapter introduction? I could always explain Ekyt's guardian training, and then do a chapter on how he and Linda-Su met or something.

Your art is so awesome! Keep up the GREAT job! :)
