When I said go play Sonic Adventure 1 again, I meant it. A lot of the scenes involving the "Echidna Clan" in Sonic Adventure 1 shows that your statement about the crescent mark is completely erroneous. I mean, even Tikal or Pachacamac doesn't have the bloody moon.

If we really want to splurge on the canonicity of "Echidnae," then isn't it bluntly stated that all Echidnae are extinct due to the bloody Chaos war?

You're putting too much emphasis on the idea of turning canon characters "obsolete." You're making bloody fancharacters for a fan story. They can be as ridiculously fast or strong or ultimate life form as they want. But that doesn't matter if the characters are well written. In fact, if a character is poorly written, then all the more reason to ignore that guy for future stories/role plays. Beating the canon characters is a stupid idea ceiling that shouldn't really be considered, seeing as how you're making fan characters here. 'Besides, Sega went and made a character that runs faster than Sonic anyway. (Shadow, in this case.)
