au/ headcanons [incomplete/unorganized/in development]
thought i share some personal eggman headcanons of mine they aren’t anything really special but more from observation
isn’t odd that eggman hadn’t aged since he stopped using live animals in his robot’s?
well i think it’s the cause of him using chaotic energy! he practically uses it constantly and is exposed to raw chaos energy a lot would also explain his unusual strength and durability
didn’t eggman act a bit off in shadow the hedgehog game?
my theory is that black doom had some influence on him to act that way and might be cause he is related to gerald making it a bloodline tie
why do more dangerous villains even work for him?
well we know they use him as a pawn but why the interest? well comes back to my first idea that he gives off an unique energy signature that is never on other human beings, feels like chaotic energy a bit and we know some villains want that energy so having a doctor who has that odd sense of energy is useful and just fascinating
what if he was there when maria died but was pretty young
since the more recent doc versions i tbh think he was genetically made like shadow he just turned out to be human but the similar genetics between the two are still there tbh i see shadow and ivo as family since infact they act surprisingly similar in their own ways
i always saw them as it and tbh him being almost a twin to shadow makes sense why the doc never seemed older even though theoretically he is in his 50-60s but looks in his late 20s to early 30s. and think if shadow the hedgehog game and in ark why would the doc be so easily influenced by black doom unless he already was linked slightly
gerald wanted to make his perfect “prodigy” and “creation” why not almost at the same time and or same/similar DNA besides we know gerald was kinda shitty so ivo and shadow kinda think one or the other was the favorite but neither know that even the doc was genetically made.
most of the archie iterations is 200 years prior minus interaction with scourge and some other parts i will need to piece apart
ivo’s lineage is actually from snivly as jullian robotnik the previous eggman of 200 years prior never gotten an heir. based on the comics snivly did die by jullian’s hand but had a robotic partner so i concluded that the partner took snivly’s DNA to make a child
as well as based on a good friend of mine’s idea with snivly is that he could use chaotic energy but it makes him sick as a result that Genetic add on resulted in mobian’s in the family tree
additional info warning mention of death and injury
the chaotic gene was added to the idea of my own that gerald couldn’t survive on mobius without an oxygen tank as the air was like toxin to his lungs not being able to handle the raw chaotic energy that is everywhere in mobius
as a result Black Doom sought him after to make an “heir” by means of mixing human/mobian DNA with Black Doom’s DNA to make an offspring. Black doom had caused gerald to go mad by his whispers into his head leading him to kill humans and mobian’s alike for body parts until G.U.N found him and whipped his bloodshed into none existence in exchange in working for them
additional info warning mention of death and injury prt 2
thought i always thought that around ivo’s 20s that G.U.N had kinda a problem with him cause 1.they knew his past and exactly what he is
2.ivo was robbing banks of course for money
and 4. i like to think the old commander for G.U.N was Xenophobic
and ivo gets along a lot more with mobian’s
{remember ivo is human till recently so he was human when this was happening}
he didn’t want a full blown war so he did defend the mobian when they did a a calm riot i think it’s called holding out signs about not being able to be part of G.U.N, of course the G.U.N agents where hostile and ivo took them out himself no robots the soldiers were shot down with no mercy if they did try to harm him or the mobian’s {he still has the promise to maria like shadow did}
i think he would be heartless with his signature smile but it didn’t have the emotion he has now and the breaking point to make G.U.N change their commander was him destroying three bases
i thought as one super dark thing of him having a general amongst a warning transmission to G.U.N and well shot him when they didn’t comply to his demands in cold blood even got on his face
a bit later a mobian took care of his wounds and giving him care would snap him back to not being a cold heartless “weapon” that he would probably break down
cause don’t some mobian’s work for eggman?
as well he saved a few towns and they kinda shaped him to what he is now a lot less harsh and actually slightly more caring
with the genetic differences ivo has from regular mobians as he is considered a “mutt” mobian being a hybrid of human/ mobian DNA with black doom DNA as the setting block keeping the two DNA mixes stable and his genetic background of family has mobian and human origins leading to him havinghe a visible neck but he wears a turtleneck like outfit to over it and also explains his lanky stature and unusual height as well as the odd quill formation
Ivo has a genetic deformation on his left red eye resulting in the pupil being slited/dilated having a sensitivity to lights and lights and coloring being brighter than normal. He is also color blind to blue and pink color tones that’s why he wears his glasses 24/7
ivo does wear a semblance of an inhibitor made into a necklace of smelted gold rings and a red carved crystal
without it causes an extreme overcharge of chaotic energy and explosions near the doctor leaving him comatose after wards or resulting in a berserker like mode morphing into more black arm-ish like form {yet to be drawn} being absolutely feral
ivo and shadow are genetically twins being from the same embryo in the testing tube but took more DNA parts and took less of the opposite
ivo took more from human {gerald’s DNA} than mobian leading to him being more human than mobian looking at all while shadow took more mobian than the human leading his appearance to a mobian then human, Doom’s DNA was the stablizer for both
ivo is able to siphon chaotic energy from the air by unknown means as he won’t share upon his work how but all his robots are built with a fan that takes the air of mobius and siphons the chaotic energy that resides in it having constant energy without needing oil
when ivo was a child the scientists in ark has been put through surgical examination of the inner workings of his body while he was still conscious leaving him with night terrors in present time
ivo used to dye his mustache brown when he was human
ivo is marked by dark gaia and as a result has somewhat of a dark gaia monster form in a way leading to insomnia and being more aggressive when the moon is full it as well marked him as the “awakener” or “disciple” for dark gaia
