User blog:Mystic Monkey/Sonic's World Creation Theory

I decided to make this blog explaining my creation theory of Sonic's world and the mobian race. That way I'll have something to copy-paste if it's ever brought up.

Beginning of the Universe
Their are many theories to the birth of our own universe. May scientists believe in the Big Bang theory so let's go with that. After the Big Bang the debris and raw mtaerials starting crashing about to form galaxies, stars, planets or universes. Or maybe you have your own beliefs in the origin of the universe or the like. Eitherway it was around the creation of the planet Earth, (Pressumably around the Hadean era) where something happened by chance. This chance was whenever or not Earth to serve as the womb for an eldritch horror or not. We the audience, players or however you like to identidy our reality, live on the timeline where our Earth never concieved such a monster. However the chance of the impregnation of Earth to happen in a yet unexplained way, that chance ends up causing the timeline known as the "Chaos Dimension".

The first Time of Awakening
The very first Time of awakening was the birth of this horror, in which Dark Gaia hatches from the Earth like an egg. However Dark Gaia was not the only entidy born from it's yolk as Light Gaia was born, in the form of an orb of light and restored the world to the best of it's abilities. However there were still some inconsistancies to the reconstruction of the geology of the world. Over time there were more Times of Awakening followed by reconstruction of the world which caused the creation of "Zones" and for geography different from our reality's own Earth.

I do not know myself when this occured but I believe the K/T extinction event may have caused the first "premature" awakening where Dark Gaia awoken and fell apart as minions. Light Gaia also suffered and broke apart, it's shedding became "Light Gaia's Minions". Dark Gaia was able to summon all it's minions to restore itself, however Light Gaia was unable to. Despite able to restore the Earth, it's form was left diminutive.

I like to believe that after this particular Time of Awakening, what was left was seven pillars of beryl around the world, each connected by a major junction of ley-lines. The "Light Gaia Minions" who were left on the surface of the world.

Hominids and Light Gaia's Minions
The Minions of Light Gaia had to think for themselves without a hive mind connection to Light Gaia. Unlike their Dark Gaia counterparts they were not as ferocious and the majority of their kind consist of Nightmare like forms that with less horns and claws and colours of cyan, green and yellow. These minions did not have the intelligence or the natual defence to survive on Earth, but they did possess a unique ability. When these creatures came into contact with local fauna, they were able to genetically replicate and adapt their bodies with animal anatomy from the creatures they come into contact with. (Let's call this ability "Metamorphosis".)

Around the time of our hominid ancestors, the minions became less like minions and more like primitive beasts that walk on their hindlegs. These creatures formed groups based on familiarity of their animal metamorphosis. Through metamorphosis, Light Gaia's Minions were able to reproduce and give birth to offspring and became more of an independant and intelligent. They spread, formed groups, fought with one another as creatures do but no matter how different or beast like they were to each other, they recognise one another as Light Gaia kinship even if they were gradually forgetting the name of their creator.

Not all of Light Gaia's Minions were able to efficiently use the metamprophosis ability. Some of these were unable to efficiently adapt with animal DNA and were left behind from the natual selection of their race. Over time these minions will devolve towards more shorter and weakened states.

Early Human and Mobian
Over the course of evolution, the creatures that were formerly the minions of Light Gaia have inherited so much animal genetics onto their minion forms that the decendants were less divine and more organic in form. The decendants still retained the "Nightmare-like" posture, size and anatomy of large hands, feet and heads but due to breeding the divinity of Light Gaia out of them, the power of metamorphism was bred away. However the offspring was still able to inherit genetic makeup from the parents making metamorphosis no longer needed in their species.

The cousin-species of the light gaia that lacked efficient metamorphosims gradually devolved into smaller and infant like size.

These post-light gaian creatures were early tribal mobians. They evolved along with the trauglodytes that were early man. During the stone age the race of mobians and humans did not socialise well, some of these skirmiches were the founding stories for "half-man, half-beast" stories that over time became myth.

By the bronze age humans and mobians became more used to one anothers company on the planet Earth, however the races were mostly divided. Somewhen between the turning of the era from "Stone" to "Bronze" another Time of awakening happened. It was the first time civilization of the world bore witness to a terrible monster erupting from their world. They named the creature "Dark Gaia" after the earth diety most religions at the time worshipped. However when they realised Light Gaia was too small and weak to help reconstruct the world, the civilizations from across the world found the pillars of crystal which have broken and eroded over time. The people named what was left of these crystals "Stones of Gaia" and where these crystals once stood they constructed temples to amplify the power of Light Gaia. With the Gaia Stones placed on each temple the people of Earth was able to help Light Gaia restore the Earth. In order to instruct their decendants on what to do if it ever happens again, the Gaia Manuscripts were made. Let's call the civilizations that made the Gaia Temples and the Gaia Manuscripts the "Gaians". The Gaian mays consist of humans and mobians.

Early history
After the Gaia Manuscript was made, life went on. However it was discovered that the Gaia Stones could be used for destruction just as much as creation. Wars broke out over the stones, blood spilled and rituals were found to harness the unbridled power of the stones. So it was later proposed that the Gaia Stones needed a "master" to control them.

Instead of bringing forth an eight divine crystal, instead it was decided that this controller should be of earth make. Given the gaia stones are of beryl property, it was decided the controller should be an emerald, thus the Gaians searched for the worlds biggest emerald.

During the search for the worlds biggest emerald, the gaians chosen the homelands of the echidnas to be where the eighth Gaia Temple to be erected. However instead of simply being an elaborate chamber with a shrine and murial, the Gaia Temple needed the finest architecture in order to create corridors, halls and roads that can channel the earthen energy. The interior was so complex that the interior bends time and space. This particular Gaia Temple was constructed by the echidnas that populated the area at the time. The Echidnas were the most advance species of mobians and were capable of constructing such a Gaia Temple.

When the world biggest raw emerald was found it was cutted (Diamond Cut to be precise) it was place not far from the Eighth Gaia Temple. However the emerald was too big to carry into the heart of the new Gaia Temple. The echidnas proposed that instead of the Gaia Temple, an altar should be made that can channel the power of the Gaia Stones into the emerald, however this would require the Gaians to take the Gaia Stones from their temples and place them all in one exposed spot. However they agreed to the process.

Altar of the EmeraldsThe Altar was made and the large emerald was placed at it's center while the gaia stones were perched on pillars surroinding it. A Gaian Echidna priest performed a ritual to enfuce the emerald with the power of the Gaia Stones and to yield to its control. The Gaia Stones infused the emerald with it's power causing it to glow and levitate. The power of the Gaia Stones became more stable now that they have the Master Emerald to stabalise them.

The age of the Gaians came to a close as the sucessors, the Echidnas were now keepers of the emeralds, even if the echidnas themselves forget so.

Echidna history (5,000 years a go)
Over time the echidnas who lived around the eighth Gaia Temple grew as a civilization, their technology and architecture matching that of the Aztecs. However they were not the only Echidna tribe present at the time. Across to the neighbouring desert were the Egyptian like echidnas who's capital were Sandopolis. Another neighbouring kingdom was Nocturne where the country was small in size, but had great resources and intelligent engineers. The Echidna tribes became more divided and distrustful of one another, over time forgeting their gaian heritage and more into conquest. Pachacamac was one of the leading conquerers at the time, he almost lost to the Nocturne but the Argus Event left him the default victor and gave him confidence to lead a conquest to neighbouring kingdoms, whenever echidna, mobian or human. Her daughter Tikal was a pacifist and was displeased with her fathers conquest and believed it will bring all echidnas to ruin.

She was unaware that she was a Gaia Temple guardian. That the daughters of her ancestors were the girst Gaia Temple guardians, thus why she was able to approach the Master Emerald and befriend Chaos more easily than any other echidna.

The backstory of SOnic Adventure happens which we will call the "Rise of Angel Island.

There were plenty of surviving echidna on Angel Island after it rose.The survivors finally learned from the mistake of their conquest. They extended a hand of peace to the echidnas who were stranded with them on Angel Island. Fighting broke out given it was Pachacamac's fault for conquering their lands and for trapping them on the floating island but an alliance was formed from all the echidna tribes uniting as one. An elite of guardians were selected from Pachacamac's finest and an underground palace was constructed for them to enshrine the emeralds whenever there was a threat. The guardians did recruit others but guardians eventually became a family business. When the number of echidnas on the island begam to dwindle, it was a single family line of guardians.

For what happened to the Echidnas, I do not know. My theory is that whatever caused the near-extinction of the echidnas was also what caused the emeralds to scatter across the world.

Modern Earth and Mobians
Our world history tried to occure on Sonic's world history. However many times of awakening has happened which caused the world to be reconstructed. And every time is is reonstructed it causes a shift in the earth crust as the geography of the world is slightly changed. This cause various butterfly effects as history turns out slightly different

Mobo Sapiens
In game canon, mobians are neve rrefered to as "mobians". This is because it's a term coined from the comics and cartoons as they are inhabited on the planet Mobius.

I like to believe that Charles Darwin and Carl Linnaeus could of recognised that despite mobians refering to themsaelves as animals that they co-exist with, they recognised that these walking creatures still share a kinship with one another that defines them as a race. They are "sapien" (intelligent) but they are not homo (man) but instead take the form of lots of mobile creatures. Thus I can imagine Carl Linnaeus calling them the Mobo Sapien race, or Mobians for short.

The reason why Sonic and his friends do not openly refer to themselves as mobians is the same reason why we ourselves don't go around stating the obvious fact we are human.

Whatever happened to the subspecies of Light Gaia's minions?
They continued to devolve throughout history. They retained the ability to metamorphosis but it was still not as efficient as their ancestors. Not even nature herselv could do much for them as they continued to devolve into useless, baby like creatures. These creatures could only survive in specific habitats and can only live on a diet of fruit and nuts. They are able to use metamorphosis on small animals but it only provides so much for them. They had the visage and intelligence comparable to babies. These creatures were facing extinction if they were not brought to awareness around the end of the '90s. It is these creatures that both mobians and humans affectionaltely call Chao. Whenever the modern mobians are aware the chao are their distant, ancestral cousins would perhaps remain a mystery to us.
