'''So while I know this will never happen I’ve for a long time had this very specifec and in depth idea of how SEGA could create a more mature adaption of the Sonic series with the characters as humans. So I thought I might as well share some these ideas so people can can look at some of these, share their own ideas and enjoy how I would plan combine the new and old for this adaption in interesting ways. Not sure if people will really like this or pay it any mind so I’ll just start with a basic overview.'''

INTRO -

'''The first thing to note is that this series would have a large emphasis on story and have the gameplay mostly revolve around the events of the story, rather than fan service like Shadow and Metal Sonic and Green Hill Zone coming out of nowhere with no context to anything. '''

'''To begin with the series I’m going to start at the begining of the story. This version of Sonic’s origin story if you will.'''

'''For this, I find it most important to ground this world in some type of realism and I think i found the perfect to do this and maintain another important aspect of Sonic, style and looking cool. This could be portrayed in the way similar to something one would see in the Devil May Cry or Yakuza series. Without getting too much into Sonic for now, it’s important to first introduce the enviornment and setting he starts out in, in this adaption.'''

SETTING -

'''Central City is an urban city half nice and half overrun by crime. Think like Detroit’s 8-Mile line. East Central City is a normal New York inspired city where Sonic lives with his older sister and goes to high school as a sophomore. West Central City is a barricaded off, dirty and abandoned wreck of a city run by gangs, holding various territories. Although thanks to the CCPD (Police) The gangs mostly say to themselves in the city’s west side one of the most powerful gangs, calling themselves The Black Arms has made attempts to expand their territory into East CC. Here is a reference for how West Central City looks ( 0:27- )'''

SONIC'S ROLE IN THE BEGINING -

'''In this world, Sonic is a punky, 90’s obsessed, parkourist who fights the Black Arms, using a modified style of break dancing and momentum based wrestling. Constantly Sonic is doing things to hurt their illegal activities such as, sneaking up on them ninja style and attacking them during deals, luring them into traps where they usually end up apprehended by police, ruining their drug supplies and pulling miscellaneous juvenille pranks and shennanigans on them. (As some interesting fan service many D-level characters would be re-worked into important members of The Black Arms. ex. Coconuts, Decoe, Bocoe)'''

'''When Sonic is not showing off his stylish abilities against The Black Arms, he goes to Central City High and contrary to what many would expect, Sonic is a complete outcast. His wild appearence, flippant, devil may care attitude and obessession with the 90’s isolates him from most of his classmates, as well as his peresistance to use the name “Sonic” which is the “street name” The Black Arms refer to him by. Sonic has few friends, and his cheesy one liners and overly bold personality turn away all the girls he’s interested in. '''

'''The ironic contrast of course being, that these people all hate or dislike Sonic, unaware of him actually defending them and the city against The Black Arms. '''

STORY PROGRESSION -

'''As the game progresses things begin to look more the Sonic series we all know. Over the course of the game, there are mumors around that The Black Arms are in over their head on something and a guy is introduced into Sonic’s school enrolled by the name “G”, who on occasion finds himself fighting the Black Arms and nicknamed “Knuckles” by them. As it turns out Knuckles is the guardian of the Master Chaos Emerald on the not too far Angel Island. Knuckles immediately hates Sonic and the two begin a rivalry and with the introduction of the chaos emeralds, a more dark and threatening Dr. Robotnik showing up and Angel Island rising into the sky, the game begins to resemble Sonic 3 story wise through the game’s second half. '''

CONCLUSION -

'''As for important or major returning/reworked charcters there would only be a hand few, as only a few would fit into the story. Others characters could be introduced in sequels.'''

Lmk what you guys think, if you would do it different and if you’re interested enough I’d love to continue this elaborating on the story, reworking of important returning characters, exactly how gameplay would work and more.
