Based off an RP plot point. Sonic is given a wish by a generous being who can craft any organic or inorganic being, and he asks a unique favor. Knowing the fate of his old friend Gawain, Sonic asks for a recreation. A genetic copy in his full likeness, down to the memories of the knight he became attached to long ago.
The wish granted, the copy of Gawain awakes in confusion before finding himself in Sonic's embrace, told that he had been found with a bump on his head. Believing he's cheated death in the future, Gawain accepts the idea and adapts to new life with his former king...
Of course a man can't just saunter about in full armor in this modern age where knights aren't a thing, so over the course of weeks, Gawain finds a new style befitting him. He enjoys the less casual fabrics, opting for polos and slacks. His thick mitts are instead replaced with leather fingerless gloves, and he attaches metal claws over his nails for added defense.
Inspired by his former king, Gawain abandons his shoes to tread the earth, but decides to decorate his soles with an intricate tattoo in homage to his heritage. Covering the skin in knots, runes, and ancient symbols. The look is finished off with his front dreads tied in a braid, secured at the top by a bar with a fake sunflower.
It's a strong departure from the crimson metal, but Gawain shows he's no less a knight, carrying his sacred swords with grace and dignity.
