Recently, I dug up an old notebook of mine from when I was a very young teen. There were pictures of a sonic fan character in there that I figure I MUST have really felt attached to at the time considering the amount of drawings, but weird thing is I couldn’t even remember why I liked them so much. So, I did the cool and reasonable thing and did little me a solid and fixed him up!

Everyone, meet Zinth the Cybernik! Also known as Zinth Trillous (Trillous being the model series he’s part of).

The TL;DR of his updated story is that instead of being a typical badnik with a bio-battery, such as a flicky or other small animal, Zinth is actually more like a robot “wearing” a mobian body. A majority of his brain is artificial, as well as his spine, tail, right arm, eyes, some bones, and some organs. Zinth is an earlier test model of the Trillous series of badniks - a type made to help this Verse’s Eggman infiltrate Mobian society with sleeper agents that appear to be normal people. His mobian body parts are from a Maned Wolf that used to work for Eggman as a mercenary before dying suddenly of an infection to the nervous system.

Though Zinth started out a “normal” Eggman robot, his AI quickly began to adapt and become more complex, allowing him to see the crappy situation he was in and realize that he was only valued as a tool that would be thrown away if it ever broke. He eventually snuck out of the facility he was built in and ran away to the outskirts of the Grim Zone (thanks British Sonic the Comic) to start a new life.

Nowadays, he repairs badniks he finds nearby that are broken or come to him for help. Mobians with robotic parts and the fully roboticized will sometimes end up in his care too. He has a strong desire to help others like himself because he’s aware he may be the only person around willing to.

- This post includes his initial redesign concepts, his super form, an attempt at an official looking Sonic Channel wallpaper, and his super secret original sketches!
