As I said previously, I am able to tolerate (emphasis on the word 'Tolerate', but not LIKE) OC's only if the artist are willing to go out all their way to create something actually unique in both design and personality and backstory. I pointed out many of Jen Hen's fan characters as a good example.

Although people's OC's like Erik's appear to have gone through significant effort to make it unique in some way, but in the end, his 'Fixer' by design end up being no more than a Tails remodel/recolour/re-skinning and loses lots of points.

Im not too good of a drawer, I have awsome ideas but I rarely write fiction. Im very good at writing factual informative stuff tho eg. essays and similar article crap.

When I was actually young (Im 18 now, but even then I consider myself too old) I noticed a similarity between the way Archie Freedom Fighters and their war against the Eggman Empire was portrayed similar to the VietCong in the Vietnam War and Mujahideen in the Soviet-Afghan war, similarities being a small, lightly armed Guerilla Group fighting against a powerful mechanized army and against all odds, eventually win. Back then I wanted to fan-fictionise what is already in existance in the Archie Comics due to the fact Archie Comic's stories and characters are all over the place and I wanted to reassemble to to make sense. I wanted to put forward a more darker and militaristic like setting rather than the kiddy one we are presented for in Pre-SG. If you can be bothered reading it, here's a summary I wrote long ago as a wee lad. I think its still pretty good.

In summary, the Mobian population excluding the Echidnas are not very technologically advanced, so when Robotnik appears in one way or another and starts taking over the world, 95% of the countries and kingdoms are almost taken over and fallen within a year of his conquest with little resistance (excluding a few groups). There is a mass exodus of refugees from the Kingdom of Acorn whom flee every which way from the chaos, with the young eventually-be-freedom fighters making their way to a small mining village out in the forest away from the city where they and the remaining survivors restructure the old mines and tunnels into bomb shelters and makeshift living quarters away from the prying eyes of the Eggman Empire. From there within a period of 20 or so years (The timespan of all the events of Archie Comics from its earliest issues till the beginning of the second Genesis Wave) they wage Guerilla War against the Eggman Empire including Search and Destroy Missions, Sabotage and P.O.W rescues. Robotnik initiates an in-universe equivalent of Rolling Thunder, carpet bombing anything and everything in the forest in an attempt to find the K.H.F.F but to no avail. This will continue for 15 years until their base of OP is discovered. Throughout this time they eventually discover survivors and it is up to them to negotiate in order to find out who is friendly and who is enemy (Just because one surviving Guerilla Group is against Eggman, doesnt mean they might not be against them either). Their goal is to team up with as many survivors as possible to form a more formidable force to reclaim the planet.

At some point in time Sonic is Captured and presumed M.I.A. Robotnik already discovered the location of Knothole but proceeds to break Sonic's will by having  him to watch on as his Egg Fleet consisting of hundreds of floating battle cruisers, battleships and destroyers as well as light and heavy bombers proceed to turn the entire forest into glass. Sally Acorn initiates a Final Defense Order to put up enough resistance to trick Robotnik into thinking he killed everyone there whilst keeping the civilian survivors locked and hidden deep within the confines and mines underground (which Robotnik doesnt know exists yet, which thousands of innocent non-combatant's lives are saved). 85% of the F.F forces are wiped out in a single night, as Robotnik's fleet rains fire and brimstone from heavy guns, cannons and bombers from above, while the other 25% consists of those whom are captured or were simply on operations in other parts of the world whom could not make it back home for the defense (and are thus saved). These 25% of characters will consists of the main characters. Reference Archie Comics Issue 175 and 176. Of course Sonic eventually escapes and breaks them out, and with Nicole's technological grip on the Nanites, rebuilds a make-shift Knothole with the Nanites and forms a shield around it, allowing all refugees to take shelter there for the time being whilst being relatively safe from Robotnik. Freedom Fighters regroup (whats left of them).

Fast forward till near the end of the 20 years war, and 50% of Robotnik's sub-boss legionnaires are either captured, assasinated or defected. All of Mobius has been reclaimed by the Mobians, with the Kingdom of Acorn being Robotnik's final stronghold as well as his base of operations. The remaining Mobians including K.H.F.F launch what equivals to the Battle of Berlin with street-to-street and room-to-room combat. The entire city of New Mobotropolis is to basically look like Crisis City but without the Lava by this point in time. The Freedom Fighters make the last mad-dash to Castle Acorn (equivalent of Battle for the Reichstag 1945); taking the Castle means the end of the war in the Mobian's favor. Robotnik puts up his final resistance at the top of the Castle with the remainder of his badnik forces. Eventually either he commits suicide or is killed by the F.F (undecided) and the flag of the Kingdom of Acorn is raised at the top by Tails, Rotor, Antoine, Sally and Sonic (excludes Bunnie Rabbot because she and rest of the Robians got de-roboticised by the Bem near the end of the war and thus is in no condition for combat as of that time). This flag raising is to mirror that of the US Flag raising over Iwo Jima. Sonic and Sally sit down at the roof of the very top of the structurally unsound castle and share a kiss, with the scene of the burning, smoking and crumbling buildings, houses and ruins of Mobotropolis, the capital city of the Kingdom of Acorn in the background. The sun begins to rise over the horizon - dawn.

But the moment is interrupted when Shadow (under mind control by Ixis) chaos-control deleports into the group, grabs Sonic and teleports quickly out of the room. Sally is taken by surprise and shock but is quickly knocked out, subdued and taken away by the remnants of the Dark Egg Legion whom has set up an ambush. Antoine and Rotor are also subdued and captured but Tails manages to escape and elude capture. Sonic Universe: Mobius 20/30 Years later remake begins here.

Fast Forward 10 Years. The indestructible Shadow conquers all of Mobius whilst the remnants of the Mobian Resistance were severly weakened from the Final Battle for Mobotropolis. The remaining Dark Egg Legion are now transformed into 'Shadow Company'. Shadow under the mind control of the Order of Ixis sets up a dictatorship regime reflecting that of North Korea and Shadow becomes king (as depicted in '30 Years Later' story arc). All poitical and military dissidents are deposed of. Sally is forced-married to Shadow for him to gain power, Sonic is still captured and held in a gulag, The Royal Family excluding Sally are executed for crime against the people, Tails goes underground into hiding for 10 years and create a smaller successor to the original Knothole Freedom Fighters known as 'Op 80' hence its name, consists of no more than 80 members whom are a small band of resistance members secretly waging and underground war against the regime for some time. members consists of new personnel, as well as a few old surviving friends and operatives of the previous war 10 years ago. Tails is 27 years of age around this point in time

After the time is right, they initiate the retaking of the Kingdom of Acorn, launching riots and resistance across the country, keeping the regime forces distracted. They find out Sonic is actually alive and raid the prison where he is kept and break break him out. Sonic is 30 years of age around this point in time. They break into the castle to confront Shadow in an attempt to overthrow him (See 25 Years Later Archie Sonic Issue 167). Shadow, the the mind control of the Order of Ixis whom had been operating in the shadows for all this time commands him to cease all regime resistance and to stand down. Shadow is forced to throw the fight against his attackers whom is then subdued by Lara Su. Sonic and Sally reunite in the castle after being 10 years apart thinking that the other had most likely been dead at the regime's hands.

To put it bluntly, this happens all over again: http://imgur.com/a/BvLml.

Mobius 30 Years later begins here.
