Interview

 * 1= # Q1: How did the idea for Xavis come up?


 * A) Long ago, I had started getting into Sonic and decided to make a hedgehog version of myself. That's pretty much it.

# Q2: Since he was created using Dr. Eggman’s DNA, what are some of the traits he shares with him?


 * A) His brown fur is the most apparent, though there are some subtler details. He has slightly more human skeletal structure, hands and feet, and growth rate. As well as his height later in life.

# Q3: Does the number 36, the number of Eggman’s failed attempts to create Xavis, have any symbolic significance?


 * A) No and I can't remember why I decided on him being the 37th. Possibly to show that Eggman had plenty of attempts to perfect his project and that it wasn't a one-time instant success, but I really don't remember the original reason.

# Q4: What happens to him in the Post-Genesis Wave?


 * A) Okay, I have it so after Depths of Dimensions is when the Genesis Wave occurs, basically. Afterwards he winds up In Julia's continuity in the massive, mistake-riddled, uneditable curse that was the Dr. Finitevus Rp. There he meets Chloe-Su, and they're able to bond. After that is Mobotropolis Mayhem, which we're still working on, and there are a few more stories we had planned that I think we should get done so we can focus on her Reboot Timeline

# Q5: What is Xavis’ relationship with Sonic?


 * A) They were good friends, actually. They would hang out sometimes and both knew they could rely on the other to help out when needed. Though Xavis did feel a bit overshadowed by Sonic's fame, it never truly mattered to him. I don't know if Sonic will appear at all in anything me and Julia have planned, but I'm sure they'd still get along well. Even if it would technically be a different Sonic.

# Q6: What would happen if Xavis faced against the Tails Doll?


 * A) I don't really know. I guess it depends on which interpretation of the Tails Doll you use? I never really developed my own version. But if it's just cloth and stuffing--possessed, robot, whatever--if it tried anything he'd most likely just burn it.

# Q7: What hobbies does he have? How does he have fun?


 * A) I actually haven't really thought of any hobbies for him that I can remember, at least. Though I can definitely say he enjoys flying around at high speed, and some table tennis if his opponent's able to keep up.

# Q8: Which character did you put the most effort in making?


 * A) Xavis, definitely. He's the oldest of my Sonic OCs and has gone through the most change by far since I made him back in 2013.

# Q9: Who helped you the most in making this character?


 * A) More recently I'd probably say Julia, with her helping me with him in her continuity and whatnot. But for a long time it was really just myself. I never really talked about him to anyone irl and I didn't know too many people online. So over time I just came up with more ideas to make him better, cooler, give him more depth, and make him stronger while balancing him at the same time.Though there are some things that I still regret to this day that I don't think I can easily rectify.


 * 1) Q10: How much edgy is he?


 * A) Much, much less than he used to be. Though there are still some things as a result of trying to compensate for making other, worse things less edgy. I would say he's somewhere below Shadow, probably.
