I keep wavering between whether to have Silver have a decent-but-in-need-of-vocal-training singing voice... or have him be completely tone deaf and not realize it (despite loving to sing)
@chozo-hunter writes Shadow as a musician and I keep wavering between wanting a contrast between the two, BUT the idea of them doing duets is also really adorable fgdjbhkf
Either way I def want Silver to learn an instrument. Piano seems like it would suit him and thatâs something Shadow could teach him. Maybe also drums? I dunno. String instruments kinda feel right for him, tho I can see Shadow constantly getting on his case for trying to cheat using his telekinesis instead of playing properly with his hands *snrk*
Tho if I wanna be out there with something unusual, I can ABSOLUTELY see him playing a theremin. It LOOKS sci-fi-ish and itâs got a wonderfully haunting sound to it. I dunno something about it feels right
... Actually, come to think of it, piano would be a GREAT way for Silver to train the dexterity of his telekinesis. I mean his telekinesis is powerful as all hell but I always saw it as extremely blunt and lacking any finesse. I was already kinda thinking heâd use video games to a similar effect

Okay this is a LONGASS post so Iâm going to put this under a cut. It goes into everything from âemerald abilitiesâ to people with legit superpowers, to the concept of attunement
So when it comes to powers in the Sega Sonic universe, it goes on a scale. But first I need to explain that Chaos Emerald energy? Itâs, I guess the closest analog I could liken it to, would be similar to the Force. Itâs an energy that exists in all matter and in all living beings within the planet that birthed it. Everyone has at least minute traces of Chaos Energy in them because itâs the force that literally binds everything together
BTW, the terms âChaos Emeraldâ and âChaos Energyâ (and their Sol counterparts if weâre talking about Blazeâs world) is historically somewhat new and not accurate to what they are and what they do. They are the Seven Servers (or the Seven Sovereigns, in the case of Blazeâs world)
Anyway, most people have a minimum baseline, meaning they have no powers whatsoever. If you gave them an Emerald they couldnât do anything fancy with it. Theyâre just. Normal. They make up the majority.
The next stage up are the Emerald Users. These are the people who, if in possession of an emerald, are able to utilize its power to perform special abilities*
The next step up in a term I coined: the Indole (derived from the Latin word for âtalentâ). These are people like Sonic, Shadow and Silver. The naturally superpowered characters. Essentially, indoles able to perform âemerald abilitiesâ without needing a Chaos Emerald in their possession, with the potential to either strengthen that ability or perform other feats with the inclusion of an emerald.
The rarest are the Super Users. A minority among indoles are able to ascend and achieve super forms with the use of all seven emeralds. Itâs rare that someone is just naturally able to this tho and usually requires some sort of attunement to achieve. Speaking of which -Â
Attunements. Itâs possible for some ânormalâ people to become emerald users with enough training and attunement to the energy of the emeralds. Inducing indolism tho - thereâs theories of this being possible, tho experts argue whether or not cases of indoles having their powers awaken later in life was just something latent that they were already born with, or something genuinely induced. Shadow is actually proof that you can induce indolism during fetal development. Metal Sonic, meanwhile, is proof that you can induce it even in [sentient] robots (in my roleplay community Metal hasnât actually discovered this yet - he was physically designed to mimic Sonicâs abilities using a turbine so heâs never had a reason to) but the ability to induce indolism is extremely rare and unpredictable. Itâs not really something you can do intentionally
Indolism can be passed through generations and certain bloodlines can have affinities for certain types of powers. Itâs also possible to pass on attunements, Knucklesâ lineage being a notworthy example.
Naturally occurring attunements are also possible. Thereâs an underwater civilization in my roleplay that runs more on a âmagicâ based system than a technological one and itâs because of the abundance of (in this instance, Sol Emerald energy) in the area causing natural attunement to occur. Itâs actually considered a legit disability if someone isnât or canât be properly attuned.
Itâs also possible for an Emerald User to learn the emerald abilities (but NOT indole powers) of others, as we see Sonic do with Shadowâs warp* in SA2. My roleplay community has been developing a âcovenâ (basically a Sega adaption of the Order of Ixis, btw weâd really like to have a Naugus and/or a Mammoth Mogul player!) of people calling themselves wizards who essentially âcollectâ emerald abilities (âspellsâ) and teach them among themselves
*âChaos Controlâ is a technical catch-all term for emerald abilities in general, because youâre literally controlling âchaosâ. Shadow has several emerald abilities and hasnât bothered to give each one an individual name, hence the inconsistency of how his âChaos Controlâ works

mgrgfan replied to your post âAlso fuck the Phantom Ruby it doesnât exist. It doesnât fucking exist....â
Phantom Ruby is a self-perpetuating illusion, existing as long as at least someone, somewhere, somewhen believes, that it exists. Maximum irony.
Itâs a good thing no one in my RP community believes it exists then, because that would require someone knowing that it ever existed, and it never existed, therefore it canât exist, for in order to exist someone would have had to have believed in its existence, but they canât believe in something they do not know the existence of, so, therefore, fuck it!
So me and my Shadow partner have talked a lot about Shadow training Silver how to fight better, both with his telekinesis and in hand-to-hand. We got onto the idea that Shadow would probably also give him a weapon to learn how to use, and that got me to thinking, what sort of weapon would be appropriate to Silver? To be fair, he doesnât really NEED a weapon, but what would suit him?
My immediate thought was that it had to be something throwable. A throwable distance weapon that he could easily retrieve with his powers and have whizzing around the room.Â
Shuriken was the first and most obvious choice. And while the idea of shuriken is really awesome and suitable for him, I kinda felt like giving him a set would be stepping on Espioâs toes? So I threw that out
Then of course came the jokes about him using fidget spinners which *SIIIGGGHHH* I can absolutely see the memeing little dork using *lol* But no, letâs be serious here!
Then while I was looking around at various weapons, I found it. Silverâs perfect weapons
Chakrams
Theyâre throwable bladed rings, and this style in particular has that handle in the center where he could easily use in close hand-to-hand combat if he wanted. They compliment his telekinesis perfectly and they just look like something that naturally compliments his overall design, what with the rings on his hands and all
So anyway, yeah. Eventually Iâm going to give Silver a pair of these babies in my roleplay

How is it that Iâm the one roleplaying the adorable lil cinnabon and my boyfriend is roleplaying the guy stereotyped as an ultra violent edgelord but Iâm the one who wants to do all the maiming lmao
SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE
Also I now have mental images of Silver holding up a super soaker and screaming âTHIS IS WHO I AMâ and I just... canât
With Silver and Shadow sharing a place itâs almost inevitable that Silver is going to put off his half of the chores and Shadowâs gonna end up having to yell at him for it. I can just see it going something like:
Shadow: You literally do not have to lift a finger
Silver:Â But it takes brain power!
... And then Shadow flips the couch over while Silverâs laying on top of it lmao
In my roleplay group, Metal Sonic legitimately IS a prince and it makes me flail at how fuckin stupid it is every time Iâm reminded about it XD
Like, okay, in my rp Eggmanland has been established as its own country. A very small island country but a country none-the-less. Eggman is, of course, the Emperor. But Metal? Metal has now officially been adopted as a member of the Robotnik family and is legally (at least, legally within the EE) considered Eggmanâs son, is second-in-command to the Eggman Empire, and as of this moment is considered heir to said Empire
Heâs a fuckin prince I canât handle how stupid this is someone save me
