Characters you'd like to see

[Ed]

Well, the obvious archetype is Super Sonic being written as evil. A simple but brilliant twist that made a bland sort of character into the comic's most compelling villain.

[Spudiator]

Romance really does surely have to be out of the question though, I can't honestly see what it would add to the stories as a whole (apart from maybe a bit of vomit)

I think of that as a very preschool mentality right there.

EEWW YOU LIKE KISSING GIRLS?!?! etc.

And even if it isn't lovey dovey kissing and stuff, just a show of affection or it's insinuated instead of advertised every second.

[Beeth]

I'd like to see Grand Chief Whip reappear in the story. I liked the idea of a sort of Dr Robotnik "cult" going on, and an idea like this always has potential to bounce back at any given moment.

I remember GCW reappearing in one issue of STC-O, but I think he should become a bigger, perhaps even an unexpected threat, in the future. Preferably not all serious, dark and sinister, but not purely comedy relief either if you get my drift.

[The Shad]

I want to see the Plax. Robotnik didn't kill of them. Now an army have come for revenge for his killing of the five or six in Planet in Peril.

Also, earlier, I was told a Metallix war wouldn't work because the form doesn't matter, the programming does. The original(Sonic) Metallix rebelled against Robotnik. The newer(Knuckles) version were loyal to him and Grimer. Lets just say a Sonic Metallix survived, and escaped the destruction of the Special Zone. He builds more, then leads his new army to kill Robotnik(or maybe do a Heroes adaption with one all powerful Sonic Metallix), with Shadow(or whoever) leading a few Knuckles Metallix to protect Robotnik, or maybe they do it in response to some old prgramme. Result? Metallix war!

There have been a few attempts at getting Cream into the comic. The latest idea someone pitched for her is a stroke of manic genius that all but the Sega purists will love to bits.

Oh? Do tell.

I believe someone once mentioned the idea of Cream and Amy being paired up in a "Big sister-Little sister" relationship, combined with Amy being her mentor. That'd work for me, providing Cream was of some use.

But yeah, lets hear this supposed manic genius. ;D

And spoil the awesome?

I think not!

What if Shadow was created to destroy the echidnas, and the echidnas created......EMERL! It would make sense, and you could it all together quite easily within STCO continuity.

Sweet jesus, NO 0_0. They should never ever allow any Sonic Battle cack in this comic.

[Charles]

Emerl would've worked well in the old STC but we don't have the space to do the idea justice - he'd have to be around for quite a few stories so his reverting-to-programming and dying would have a big impact.

[dk]

Given that the generic "Johnny Lightfoot" and "Porker Lewis" characters were moulded into well-fleshed out, three-dimensional characters, it would be interesting to see the same techniques applied to the other sprites (Flicky, Sally Acorn, Tux, Joe Sushi and Chirps, I think?) Not necessarily as central characters, but rather to give a few names and characters to the amorphous "Emerald Hill Folk".

[Samface]

Well, Sally was given a little brother for an issue and is now a newsreader (check out this issue's Robotnik strip). Doing anything with Flicky would be kind of pointless as there's plenty of flickies already and they're established to only be able to communicate with themselves and Tails. I think the others have all been given a line or two (mainly in the early days), but it would be pretty awesome to see Joe Sushi become a regular character. Mainly because I have an inexplicable love for him.

I had an idea a while ago that Whip and the bumbling DRAT members were actually a cover up for the real members of DRAT, the wealthy business tycoons that had been able to benifit from Robotnik's rule.

DRAT now seems to have competition if they were ever to return in the formof The Family. They have the same villan premise, large group of reletivly normal citizens against the good guys.

The trouble with Cream is that she does nothing noteworthy in any media she appears in.

Well, maybe aside from getting captured. She's a bit like a reincarnation of the original version of Amy.

True. But Amy's only appearance had been Sonic CD for the longest of times, and yet STC formed her into a greatly different (and far more likable) version from her SEGA counterpart.

It just depends on the execution, and whether or not she can actually be put to use. If we introduce her as a big thing and then have her taper off into nothing soon after, it'd be a big waste of time.

Sega had strict guidelines over the main characters (Sonic, Tails and Knuckles), whereas Amy wasn't deemed important enough, allowing the writers to expand on her character.
Cream has been established, so it's harder for people to accept any changes, even if those changes are for the best.

[Baron Canier]

I'd accept any changes to Cream's character with relish. Wanna know why? She's [censored].

Truth, although saying that, her design is actually pretty good.

That's a brilliant idea. Cream could be a flashback story character executed by Robotnik in the very first panel!

[Samface]

at all the Cream hate.

Although I wouldn't be averse to changing her character. I think she'd suit a totally whacked-out story like the one Ed hinted at.

Since chao don't exist in the STC universe, maybe she could take on the characteristics of Cheese (homicidal, kamikaze, invincible)?

EDIT: now that I write it down, that just sounds like Super. Never mind...

That's even better! She can be shot out of a gun!

(I know that Omochao is the one who gets shot (from a gun), but he looks similar enough to Cheese).

[Tom]

you're all being very horrible about cream. the pitch is a lot more respectful than that.

[Juliett. Bravo. Alfa.]

I agree. Some of the comments about Cream are quite harsh.

*Nerd glasses on* If you look in STC#116, Best of Enemies Part 1. Sister Haggra and the House of Magic Acolytes are the only Drakon who have genuine arms and legs as opposed to the robotic bodies the other Drakon have.

*if* Black Doom were to arrive in STC, he could actually be a Drakon. Black Doom's design isn't completely dissimilar to the Drakons. You could make Black Arms a Drakon terrorist group or something.

Also Neo Metal Sonic (Yeah thats his official name) plz.

The best tactic for Blaze and Silver's appearances would be the same wait and see tactic applied to Shadow. Because their Sega storyline isn't completely messed up at all. >_>

I heartily agree, I suggested that idea to Ed a while back. Let's hope he stored the information somewhere in that gigantic noggin, for use at a later date. Or not.

Hm. Works for me. So long as his appearance was worthwhile. Perhaps the Black Arms could be some sort of Drakon elite force, with Black Doom as their commanding officer? It'd make sense, considering we've got a Drakon return on the horizon. Perhaps they'll try to take the whole planet back in one fell swoop?

[The Shad]

What about a Rouge/Nack team-up?
