Just a sad tragic backstory of my echidna character who has hidden their name and identity. Once upon a time there was an echidna. He lived with his mom and dad.
His father warned him about the ultimate life form. They didn’t know exactly who the ultimate life form was. All they knew was that he was cruel, ruthless, and mean.
One day shadow was working with eggman. Eggman told shadow about his mission that he needed him to do. He told him that the echidna family were a world level threat even though they were innocent. Shadow listened and then afterwards he immediately started searching for the family.
Shadow searched high and low for the echidna family. After searching for a while, he found them except the echidna kid wasn’t there. It was just his mom and dad. Shadow said he’d immediately destroy them.
The echidna mom and dad begged for their lives. They wanted to stay alive with their son. They said they’d do anything to stay alive but shadow didn’t care. Shadow immediately destroyed them as if they were nothing.
A while later the echidna kid came back from playing with his friends. When he arrived home, all he saw left were parts of his mom and dad’s accessory. He was confused and he called out for his parents but he didn’t get an answer. He looked everywhere and couldn’t find them. Eventually he came to the conclusion that they were hunted down by the ultimate life form.
Later on, he created a mask that portrayed the ultimate life form and he put it on. He wanted to hide his identity so he couldn’t be hunt down like his parents were. He also never told anyone his name. He promised himself that he would avenge his parents for how they were wrongfully killed by the ultimate life form. Years later, he’s finally older and now and stronger. He still plans to keep his promise.
