The OC Sonic meme has been a prevalent one on the interwebs, at least for those who dare
to dabble in the darker, more hilarious aspects of the blue hedgehog's fandom. Original characters
were initially something that young sonic fans did, but, as with most things online,
people began warping it into a parody, eventually giving it it’s meme status. And some of
them are REALLY really funny. If you’re unfamiliar with parody sonic character’s
adoration for BEING EDGY, go take a look at the trailer for the Shadow the Hedgehog game.
Yeah. The Sonic franchise has a history starting in the 2000s with trying to be ‘cool’
and ‘edgy’. Which are typically not traits you associate with anthropomorphic animals
unless you’re really young? So today, we’re diving down into the sometimes awful cesspool
that is the darker side of the sonic fandom with our list of the top 20 sonic fan characters.
10 Edgehog the Hedgelord
SO EDGY. Edgehog
9 Darkedgebloodsword - ASIDE FROM HAVING THE BEST NAME EVER for a
fan character, Dark Edge Blood Sword is everything you want an awful Sonic original character
to be. His weapon is a soul katana - ITS FLAMES GROW THE MORE SOULS IT CLAIMS, SO EDGY. His
fav band is SLIPKNOT SOOOO EDGGGGY. His fav movie is THE DARK KNIGHT BECAUSE HES SO DARK
AND EDGY BUT NOT TOLD ENOUGH TO WATCH R RATED FILMS. The bio goes on to say he almost killed
all of Sonic and his friends but the blue blur used the power of friendship to make
him good, even though DARK EDGE BLOOD SWORD has no soul and can not love and is also an
orphan, because. It then goes on to say that his friends are Pewdiepie and Shrek, and I’m
just gonna come out right now and call bullshit on that. The character stats then end off
with DARK EDGE BLOOD SWORD’S quote, which is, My heart is a black tormented hole of
emptiness, how are you? oh, go F*** yourself, buddy. SO EDDDDGGGYYYY.
8 Dakota the Hedgehog So, there’s this Wikia we stumbled upon
called SonicMovie, which is apparently a Wikia made for an imaginary series called the Sonic
Storm Adventure Series which consists of a bunch of fake Sonic films, along with fan-made
characters, and I want to say that some kid whipped this up, but we’re not so sure.
Anywho, Dakota is one of those characters who is an actress and wants to be on TV. I
quote, “some camera crew come and take pictures with her”. I’m also unsure what distinguishes
her from being a hedgehog though. Any takers?
7 Thomas the Hedgehog Thomas is another character we found on the
same Sonic Movie Wikia. His backstory is just as random, and his photo is just as badly
crafted in MS Paint. An orphan, Thomas was created raised to be a slave and to kill Sonic,
who he fights and surrenders and then becomes good. And, apparently, as an adult the character
is voiced by Bradley Cooper, so someone should probably let Bradley Cooper know that.
6 Raul What are this cluster*** of muscles and irrationally
baggy pants? AND THAT TATTOO. Dear god. THIS ABOMINATION is 19 years old and weighs 250
pounds and has abs. Have you ever seen a hedgehog with abs? Yeah, not a thing. Even in the canon
Sonic universe. So please stop putting AB MUSCLES on Sonic characters, people. It’s
weird. Anyway, Raul’s info, if you can bear to do any reading after looking at the drawing
itself, says, I quote, “Raul is a hedgehog male attending Limitless City High School.
He is Sakura’s older brother. (Don’t know who the f*** that is, but alright). Raul is
in a band along with two of his best friends. He enjoys listening to music.” BUT WHY IS
HE SO JACKED. WHAT INSTRUMENT DOES HE PLAY. WHO IS SAKURA. These are all answers we don’t
really need, but consider this a lesson - context, friends, is almost always important.
5 Ricky the Fire Hedgehog Ricky has a simpler list of character stats,
but that doesn’t make him any less special, now does it? First off, you know he’s the
real deal cause he’s SUPER EDGY WITH THAT GUN WHICH OBVS HAS A SILENCER. FIRE POWERS
AND GUN SKILLZZZZ. And then he’s got a palm full of fire BECAUSE PYROS ARE SUPER COOL
MAN. Second, the creator of this wonderful OC has THANKFULLY included Ricky’s religion,
because that was SUPER IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW AND OF COURSE HE’S CHRISTIAN. But
perhaps the best part of this original character, minus the disproportionate one skinny leg
and one chunky leg, is the bottom category of Ricky’s status, I quote, “Single: Taken.”
Gotcha. I sincerely hope that this unfortunate creation was made earnestly because THAT WOULD
BE GREAT.
4 Tyler the Hedgehog This hilarious comic sans filled MS Paint
creation is Tyler the Hedgehog, a sad scrunchy faced diaper wearing hedgehog who looks like
he’s had better days. Casually holding a 55-pound dumbbell, the character card also
illustrates the scale of Tyler’s height, comparing him to a 2 story house. Apparently
he’s the size of 10 houses, but actually, if you calculate it with the scale of what
they included in the picture, it’s more like 6 or 7. Excuse me for wanting some accuracy
here. The hedgehog’s origin story tells of Tyler eating a monkey spitting fire, resulting
in his sad expression - which totally explains everything going on in this image, right?
Yeah. And, what are his powers you may ask? He’s not as fast as sonic, but pretty fast
in bed. “Always sad face.”
3 Dragovic
2 Sonichu Sonichu is arguably the most well-known Sonic
fan character. Now considered to be a meme, Sonichu was a character created by a dude
name Christian Weston Chandler, otherwise, know as Chris-Chan, that was the protagonist
in a webcomic he created. As you’ve probably already gauged, the character is an amalgamation
of Sonic and Pokemon’s Pikachu. And, as you’ve also probably gauged, it was really
bad, which has led to some serious trolling and mocking of the webcomic and it’s amateur
art and writing. Chris responded by trying to have certain parts of said trolling taken
down, like the Encyclopedia Dramatica article on Sonichu, but that just led to more aggressive
trolling.
1 Coldsteel the Hedgehog If there’s one OC that can top Sonichu,
it’s Coldsteel. Coldsteel is the epitome of what cringe-worthy Sonic original characters
encompass. Widely mocked as a stereotype of an edgy teen, Coldsteel’s bio is filled
with all of the worst parts of the Sonic fandom that you can imagine. The character was originally
posted on Twitter, although the original creator is unknown, but is credited to ‘blood_skull_boi84’.
Whether or not that’s a real person is unknown, and while it feels as if Coldsteel himself
must be a parody of OC creations out there on the interwebs, that, too, is unconfirmed.
Regardless, the Coldsteel has brought us such wonderful mock-worthy gems, like his catchphrase
“psssh.. nothin personnel…kid” and a bunch of teenage angst concerning sexuality
and being cool.
