Say hello to this sad lil lad. Behold a tour into his current lore, featuring some supplementary form images from me messing around with freecam for the first time.


First image-Android Shadow Purple: Robotnik tried remodel after remodel of the shadow androids. Red and orange to green and blue, every single one seemed to be an inferior knockoff of the real thing. Perhaps it was a lucky stroke of brilliance, or a breakthrough too late, but the latest model, purple, seemed to have a strange degree of sentience...

Second image-"Purple" with chaos emerald: The androids seemed destined for the scrap heap; what a horrible fate for a newly formed mind. In a sheer brute force of rebellion, "purple" broke free from the compactor and fled from eggman's lair, with the help of a stolen chaos emerald. At the cost of a few dents, "purple" also managed to steal old technology, that it knows will prove useful...

Third image-runaway "purple:" Using the liquid metal technology that was once used by neo metal, "purple" obtains a much more organic form. Wandering through the city, with no master or goal to serve, "purple" feels hollow. The only thing keeping those joints moving is a... feeling "purple" can't explain: A desire, a wish, or an identity of it's own. A name. a real, flesh body. an identity detatched from the fate it was given. The chaos emerald promises wish fulfilment, but only by gathering all of them together.

Fourth image-Super "purple:" No hard feelings, Sonic, Shadow, but "purple" will fight for these emeralds. With their combined power, "purple" is unstoppable, and looks to be a massive threat to the heroes. On a sleet-filled day in the city, the hedgehogs challenge the strange robot, not knowing that "purple" does not wish for power or destruction, but a heart. 

Fifth image-Shadow?: Such a strange birth for this being. Born in the cold sleet, thin fur soaking wet, smelling of asphalt and blood. Sonic's destructive power sends a bit of debris into the already weakend little hedgehog. He

Note: pre-organic "purple" usually is given it/its pronouns, but after becoming organic reveals he prefers using he/him. I personally label him as gendervoid/voidboy.

That's about as much as i have on this guy, but I want some help figuring out more. Mainly, names. Do you think he keeps the name "purple" after obtaining the liquid metal disguise? would his name even *be* "purple" or something else? Most importantly, what would his new name be? I imagine a big part of him discovering his own identity is a brand new name, separate from his old life as an android and as a shadow clone. However, I have yet to figure out what would suit him. What do you think?

If you have any other theories/headcannons for him, please let me know! I hope to see you in PULSE. :)
