User blog:Skyblade743/SFW Round 1: Skyblade's votes.

So, now I vote for the first time I’ve been here!

Before I review these characters, I would like to say I have been pleasantly surprised about how good the OCs here are. Sonic OCs have always had a bad reputation (Coldsteel, I’m looking at you), and I’m glad to see there’s not many badly thought out characters in here, nor are there many Mary Sues.

Anyway, let’s get started, because formatting this on Word is worse than formatting code!

Best Hero
Reens the Hedgehog – Good character, the weaknesses balance out the powers well. One thing I would point out is that the fact she seems unfazed by her father’s death and her mother committing suicide (although slightly more the later) seems a little off to me. The shy personality kinda fits that purpose, but idk. (+1)

Zaffre Fylloma the Koala – Well, the first sentence didn’t bode well (How tall ‘’is’’ an 18-year-old humanoid koala?), it got much better when it talked about what he did. It’s quite refreshing to see a hero who wins by not fighting, but using knowledge and skill in other areas to sort out problems. The only problem I can see is the shaman magic thing seems a bit out of place, but otherwise I can’t see any real problems. (+1)

Marissa FireRose – Wow, Marissa hasn’t exactly had it easy, but the end result has is a well developed character. Considering the amount of Chaos used by some people ( One of my OC’s is made from it, for God’s sake) the weakness is pretty significant and balances out her slightly clichéd powers. Also, although this doesn’t affect my opinion, the page could do with a bit of formatting.(+1)

Cheeri The Cat – Hmm…Well, the main problem I see here is a lack of a personality section. It also doesn’t explain how Cheeri got her memories back. I think it’s a good idea, but it’s a little unfinished. (+0)

Cyra The Archer – As long as she doesn’t have a biography section, I can’t really upvote this. Looking good so far, though! (+0)

Celia the Fox – An interesting character with hidden depths (Glyph seems like an interesting character). She seems a little undeveloped right now, but she’s not lacking entire sections of writing, so I don’t really see any reason to downvote (+1)

Ali Atash the Caracal – Definitely a fresh idea compared to some of the more westernised characters on the wiki. The only thing is there’s one line that says he’s willing to lend a hand to anyone “as a way to make up for his failure to do so at a young age”. I might just be thick, but I can’t see that right now. (+1)

Vendeta the Hedgehog – Own nomination.

Total: 5 upvote, 2 neutral, 0 downvote

Best Neutral
Luella the Mouse – Honestly? The description makes her sound more like an anti-hero than anything else. I can’t really follow on that theory until I see her in roleplay, but the backstory’s good enough to get her through. (+1)

Asher The Fennec Fox – I’m sorry, I’m gonna have to downvote this. The fact that he was granted 3 wishes by a spirit of good will after stealing from a circus and buying himself an awesome room in Station Square before even considering the orphanage feels totally wrong. Also, the fact that he’s stated to be 13 centimeters tall doesn’t help at all. (-1)

Mars the Dire Wolf – Quite an interesting character when you consider the fact that he considered the power a blessing, but it then turned out to be a curse (the opposite of multiple characters in fiction, ie. Elsa from Frozen). Although his parents are a little odd at first (complaining about grades when he’s 7? Really?) the rest of the idea is enough to see him through. (+1)

Max Irvaron – Working for G.U.N and being friends with Shadow the Hedgehog does not make you neutral. Put him in hero and he’ll do alright, but not here. (-1)

Nocmere – I’m fairly neutral (heh) on this. The fact that he managed to take control of Space Colony ARK without G.U.N noticing just after the Black Arms were beating the crap out of it feels a little weird, as is the fact they didn’t try to kill him on the spot. However, the idea of a time traveling Black Arms scientist with an Eclipse Cannon is just too cool to ignore. (+0)

Tobias the Crescent – Takes the classic womanizer character and actually gives it flaws. Quite a good idea. (+1)

Saphie the Swift – The first line is “She’s an antagonist in the Dimitri Chronicles”. Everything else points to her being an antagonist. I can’t upvote this if it’s not neutral.(-1)

Rik the Spider Monkey – Again, he’s a hero. (-1)

Paradox the Spider – Honestly? If his backstory is wiped from time and he doesn’t have any real flaws, I can’t really upvote this. (+0)

Note: nearly all the downvotes here are because the characters were not really neutral. This does not mean they are bad characters by any means.

Total: 2 upvote, 2 neutral, 4 downvote.

Best Villain
Heath Iliad the Monkey – The backstory is pretty average, but the appearance and personality are quite interesting (+1)

Aeon the Hedgehog – Wow, talk about a conflict of interests. Turning full villain to get back home and save your world which probably isn’t possible to save anymore and millennia of being exposed to the multiverse has created a villain with a strong backstory. (+1)

J.C. the Hyena – It started off well with the “fallen God” thing, but that storyline was squandered way too soon. However, he’s quite a deep and interesting character, and let’s be honest, an insane-part-God-teenage-king-of-the-world is a pretty awesome concept for a villain (+0)

Mira the Fennec – Not exactly as powerful as some people on this list, but just as power hungry. An interesting character overall (+1)

Luna the Bunny – Ok, the interpretation of Black Doom here is…weird. I don’t think he’s one of those characters who would become a bad guy halfway through. I don’t have a problem with Luna herself, but her backstory is…odd.(+0)

The Mastermind – Way too vague. It’s a decent idea, but it needs more writing. (-1)

Doctor Jay the Hedgehog – The classic “downward spiral” is pretty common for a villain, but it’s done well here. However, why didn’t he just go back in time and stop the car crash instead of kidnapping Nile over and over? It’s a pretty big plot hole. (+0)

Total: 3 upvote, 3 neutral, 1 downvote

Male
Conner the Squirrel – Some of his backstory feels a little unexplained. Why is he an alcoholic? What gave him this curse? That first line is the only thing keeping him out of being a Mary Sue. (+0)

Blast the Fox – Not as well developed as I would have liked, but developed enough. (+1)

HS the Deathknight – Very well developed (I had to skim read the backstory) and a pretty cool sounding character. I can’t see any immediate link to Sonic, but I’ve got a feeling that will come up a lot…(+1)

Max Irvaron – Wow, the amount of backstory has upped since I last checked. It’s interesting that instead of feeling vengeance for what was done to his sister, Max became more compassionate. It’s not what usually happens, but it makes for a more unique character. (+1)

Cyo the Lion – This has potential, but the backstory could do with a lot of expanding. What did he do under Eggman that made him so shocked afterwards? How did he break free? There’s too many questions to consider this finished. (-1)

Shiloh Almeja the Bivalve – This seems to remind me a little of Overwatch…anyway, Shiloh is quite a well thought out character, although what happens after the disbanding of the Force would probably be good to increase his backstory (+1)

Fei the Pigeon - …Yeah, I don’t think I think I'll get slaughtered if I downvote this. (+1)

Total: 4 upvote, 1 neutral, 1 downvote

Female
Rei the Psionic – While her backstory is fine, the fact that it hasn’t come out as part of her personality is a bit weird to me. She watched her village burn, had to live with it for 2000 years, and it doesn’t affect her? Maybe she’s gotten over it, but there’s nothing to say she has.(+0)

Celestia The Wolf – Backstory’s not amazing by any standards, but definitely not flawed. Her weaknesses balance out her strengths well enough. (+1)

Nebuleen the Cat – Backstory’s interesting, but it would have been better if the regaining of memories took longer and was more of a quest, although I don’t see that as a major problem. (+1)

Rhyna the Echidna – An interesting take on the “lost memories” style character, as well as a good character in terms of personality and abilities. (+1)

Cyra The Archer – I’ve already explained why I’m not upvoting this. (+0)

Marissa FireRose – Again, I’ve explained why I am upvoting this.(+1)

Ash the Hedgehog – While the idea of this being a “what if Shadow grew closer to Gerald” is interesting, it’s squandered for the character just being a slightly more intelligent Shadow. (+0)

Demetria The Moonrat – A mobian with an animal nickname…anyway, while the idea is a really cool concept that I haven’t seen on this wiki yet, I can’t upvote this without a backstory. Keep up the good work, though! (+0)

Edge the Fox – OW the EDGE.

…sorry.

Anyway, again, there’s no history yet, hence I’m not upvoting. (+0)

Best Speaker
Keira The Winged Hedgehog: "Who the heck cares about your disabilities and failures! As long as that spirit burns in you, just wing it!!"

Celestia The Wolf: "You can take away anything from me, but you can't take away my burning spirit!!"

Princess Penelope the Puppy: "We have to keep fighting. I have to keep fighting. We can't let them win- not after everything we sacrificed! My sister is dead because of them! They are the enemy! Run and hide if you will, run, run with your bloody tails between your legs! I'll fight alone if I must!"

Max Irvaron: "No! SKAM! Don't hurt Rouge! Hit me - hit me instead! HIT ME INSTEAD! IF YOU TOUCH HER... THEN I'LL MURDER YOU, ASSHOLE!"

Luna the Bunny:"I am tired of the way that the 'bad guys' are treated and portrayed as miserable, pyschopathic fools who only have one damned thing on their mind. The truth is, heroes are like that too! So unless we're having an 'I admit' moment here, don't you dare say that I'm the evil one! You took away everything I loved, and now, I shall do the same thing to you!"

Clock-Watch The Clockwork Mobian : What? Do you think these small deceptions can save you from the truth? You think that we'll just give up for such an inane reason? I don't know who the hell you think we are, but I know who we are! We're the ones who never give up, dammit!"

Togo: "You are the sword, and I am the shield, and together, we are Heroes!"

Alexia the Hedgehog: "If anyone says they're useless, I'll tell them they're not, no matter how many times I need to. All life is precious, meaning that all life is of use!"

General Serges"It is with regret that such formidable fighters like yourselves must perish... a pity we are on opposite sides. You would have proven to be excellent allies."
