Well, I've been thinking about this since last year, but it's time I finally get to doing so…
Silver The Hedgehog will not be the central character of The Silver Spotlight any longer.
Now, how will that be possible since the whole AU is tailor-made for one of my top favorite Sonic characters of all time?
Well, that means that I get a chance to create another character of my own inspired by Silver. His nickname will be Silver. Much like the human counterpart, Wayne Flynn, that I introduced back in 2021. But, the thing is, the human counterpart of Silver in that AU wasn't even like Silver if he was human. He was an original character of his own, so this is one of many reasons why I came to this decision to completely revamp this portion of The Silver Spotlight.
Honestly, for the longest time, I wish I thought of this, because of the many complications of Silver's character over the years, particularly the time-traveling aspect that I go back and forth on behind the writing. It's something I don't think I could properly handle. It's kinda sad that I had to come to this decision, because I prepared a lot of things with Silver and the story that starts with him and his friends, like Beatrice, David, and Phantom. But, things really are gonna have to change. The bright side of this is that I can't retire the shipping of Silver and Beatrice, that being SilAtrice. It's a piece of my art history that I can't really change much outside of the character of Silver. Now, this also means that whatever I do for now on with Silver, it's just an original character to the AU. I was originally thinking about retiring the usage of game-canon Sonic characters, but that's too impossible for me to honestly do. Beatrice The Hedgehog is also another character in that example, since she's one of my more popular characters in the AU.
Another solution to what I've done is to count all of the art I did with Silver as stuff existing in an alternate reality in the TSS Canon. That way, it's technically not gone. This also doesn't mean the things I do with the other fan characters I created are gonna be scrapped, like what I'm currently doing with David, Phantom, etc. It's really just the main character, Silver. But, yeah… it really is time for me to do something that I really could've done a long time ago. I really love coming up with original characters of my own, rather than taking an existing Sonic character and changing them to fit within my imagination. I want to make this new character much like how I created Doris The Bat, and how I collaborated with a good friend to help come up with Jake The Tenrec.
If my interpretation of Silver The Hedgehog is like Superman, then I need to make a character that's inspired by two of my favorite heroes of all time. It's a win-win for this oc. Also, it's perfect for this year, as things really do need to change for the TSS Canon.
That’s all for now. I’m actually looking forward to creating all the new pics and such with this new main character of TSS.
Beatrice is the love interest to Conner, and Silver's role will actually be something different. More like a guidance role. I'm currently writing the backstory to finding where he place is.
