I've posted this in other forums...but I've gotten no replies! ;_;
But here we go again...
I'm trying to construct my own Sonic continuity.
I simply refuse to move onto anything else unless I've established how the chaos emeralds work. I was very pleased to find this forum because I've always sought advice for my worldbuilding!
So I'd like it if you guys could tell me what you think about my chaos emerald/master emerald ideas. I have several, so I'm gonna make them as brief as possible.
Master Emerald: Contains the "essence of reality" (some force of some sort that makes the whole world run). A "spirit" of some sort dwells inside this emerald. An ancient race worshipped the Master Emerald. However, a few became so fascinated with the emerald that they decided to steal it and experiment with its power. This led to them creating imperfect copies of the Master Emerald, which would later be called "Chaos Emeralds".
The "essence of reality" that is contained inside the Master Emerald is made up of 7 elements, and each Chaos Emerald represents a warped/evil version of each of the 7 elements.
The existence of the emeralds made the whole world slip into chaos. The Master Emerald is unable to work properly because of the chaos emeralds' power overwhelming it, and the spirit is unable to stop its land from falling into chaos.As a result, the spirit inside the Master Emerald decided to start a "new world", one without the chaos emeralds. However, it is weak.
This is where Angel Island comes in. Angel Island will be a part of the "new world" the ME spirit wants to create, and the ME is using what little power it has to raise Angel Island high enough, so that it can be torn away from the chaos emeralds' power back on earth.
Once the Angel Island is high enough so that the chaos emeralds' power cannot affect it, it means that the ME will no longer be weak, so that the spirit inside it can create "the new world".
What do you think? I didn't (couldn't, haha) write this description in a manner which would emphasise how legendary and epic the story is supposed to be, but I just wanted you guys to get the idea.
Here are some additional ideas and issues:
*The Chaotix. The Chaotix could probably be a group that the spirit regularly sends down to land in order to find ways to weaken the chaos emeralds, in order for the Angel Island to ascend quicker.
*The whole "god/spirit" thing...will it work? Hmm...
*In addition to the chaos emeralds containing a warped version of the "essence of reality" (this is starting to sound cheesy, I know), perhaps a "warped" version of the ME spirit was also created in the process. So each of the 7 chaos emeralds has some sort of creature assigned to it. Maybe Sonic is linked to this in some way.
I know that I have alot of free time =X
Please offer as much constructive criticism as you can! And any holes you might see. I need your help! Thanks in advance!
*rubs paws together*
Ah alternate universes, how I love them so =D
Right, lessee what we have here... Interesting basis, the chaos emeralds hold the evil/ cancel out the ME thing, that's very reminiscent of Fleetway... which is always nice
This, esscence of reality spirit thing is quite nice, and having a twisted version of it maninfesting through the chaos emeralds could be worked very well. And I love the idea of the ME raising angel isle to seperate itself from the corruption (perhaps related to the rise of polutant heavy civilisations emerging over the more eco freindly ones?)
I think your biggest point to consider here, would be everyone's favourite knucklehead. Where in all this does Knux fit in? Is he still the guardian of the ME? Is it hereditray, or did the spirit thing contact him? Could he be channelling this spirit? Perhaps he is under the influence of the twisted side, and keeping the ME contained somehow? Just throwing stuff out here ^^
And what would Eggy's constant stealing the ME to power his latest obital doom ray do? o.o
