Far-fetched Sonic AU idea based on a dream I had last night!!!
Once upon a time, a god came to exist. A fierce deity of wind, which took on the name of Anemoi.
He was always fond of mobians, and spent much of his time in their presence, befriending them and lending a hand, but also playing tricks on occasion, as he was a playful one. He was prideful, sometimes pompous, but also kind.
His affinity to mobians turned out to be his doom. A certain group, who wanted to harness the power of a god, chose him as their target, due to his frequent visits. He’s been ambushed.
Here, his pride was his downfall, as instead of leaving, when there was a chance, he stood and fought. While a god can easily level an army, his empathy prevented him from doing so, and thus he was overwhelmed by the hundreds of people trying to get to him. They brought arrows imbued with spells, that upon contact, seeped the energy of the stricken.
Once struck with the thousandth arrow, Anemoi broke apart into pieces.
Among those pieces, were the Chaos Emeralds, shards of his power; an unknown stone, a shard of his immortality; and a blue hedgehog, a shard of his body, who died upon hitting the ground.

Yeah it’s Sonic. The gist is that Anemoi, due to interacting with mobians for millennia, became one in mind, and chose to take on a form that looked like one. (primal gods like him were born of chaos, and thus had absolutely no relation to mobians physically. They could change their look at will, but in mind and thought they were completely other, though that could change with influence)
Upon his body splitting, that mobian part of his mind turned into a regular mortal, turning his disguise into a true body, and it looked a lot like Sonic.
Due to a part of his immortality still residing in the body though, he continued to be reincarnated* through lifetimes in a form really similar to his original one, with a similar personality, though with minor differences here and there.
And thus eventually Sonic was born! and became the hero of Mobius. He has absolutely no recollection of his past lives, including Anemoi’s. The emeralds, as former pieces of him, are the most stable when in Sonic’s possession.
* All souls reincarnate. The difference between Sonic and others is that Sonic always looks and becomes more or less the same, while others will become someone completely different. It’s restraining in a way.
Sonic the hedgehog is a really funny character actually. He is the fastest thing alive. He breaks the laws of physics on the regular. He’s just some guy. He has time travelled on several different occasions. He is homeless. He became a werewolf at one point. He can’t swim. He is an ADHD icon. He killed a time god. He died and was brought back to life. He is three feet tall
Saw a post like this with negative outlook so I asked for it to be fixed
