Sonichu Making Chris's Characters Interesting

[LordCustos3]

Warhammer races working together?

Thats the comedy part.
Seven Factions that can't barely stand each other have to put aside their differences to fight off a merger of Necron/'Nid/Candy Apple Khaosp. Hijinks Ensue.

Besides, this is the only way to make Bubbles interesting. She's so giggly and "Kawaii" when she shoots her own men because they retreated without her permission.

Honestly, I have some ideas for a few characters. But I don't think they're a whole lot better than how Chris would do it (speaking of, I'm including him here, because he still technically counts as a character):

First of, Sonichu: He feels uncertain about being a Pikachu/hedgehog hybrid, and on occasion, will mentally revert back to the mindset of the Pikachu.

Wild: Was inspired to live in the forest after reading several Tarzan books, hoping to be just like his hero. He still has this delusion to this day.

Magi-Chan: An abnormal member of his species and the only one with the same powers as his actual comics counterpart. Was ostracized by the others for these abilities at a young age before becoming a scientist. Has very little contact with the rest of the cast due to his work.

Mary: A headmaster who has nothing but good intentions, but is constantly antagonized by Chris and his "animals".

Reldnahc: I'd drop the gay aspect and make him pretty much the complete opposite of what Chris is IRL (smart, in shape, not a complete disappointment to his parents, etc.)

Punchy: I'd make him a real martial artist and the voice of reason amongst the group who gets into fights with Chris on a fairly regular basis.

Chris: A delusional young man who only became the mayor of the city through dumb luck. He's also the only one to think that Mary or Reldnach are evil and has a tendency to jump the gun on so many things. I'd also make him into a woman lecher.

I left out several (including Blake, Rosechu, Garudon, the "girlfriends", any of the non-OC characters like Eggman & Billy Mays and Son-Chu. Just to name a few) for one of four reasons:
1. I couldn't think of anything for them.
2. Would only become minor characters at best.
3. Were completely unnecessary to begin with.
4. Have very similar personalities to their actual counterparts.

I think that almost any character in Sonichu could be interesting if enough thought is put into it. That being said, I did some thinking and I conjured up some alternate versions of our favorite heroes.

Chris - Instead of being blood-thirsty and bombastic, my version of Chris has him as a well-meaning but meek young man who never wanted to be the mayor. Having been thrust into the highest position of power in the land, Chris finds himself confused and deeply tired by his mayoral job, of which he scarcely understands and barely wants. He is deeply ineffectual at keeping the corruption in the government of CWCville at bay, but not out of malice. He often gives the impression of not being fully in charge in CWCville, as though he were taking his orders from a higher authority...

Sonichu - A headstrong young pokemon/hedgehog thing who presents himself as being cocksure but is secretly deeply insecure and anxious about life. He struggles to find his place in the world as one of the few of his kind. He feels dejected by both pokemon and hedgehogs as he is not truly either. Regardless, he maintains a certain upbeat quality even in a world where everyone is pessimistic. His optimism counters the pessimism and callousness of most of the other characters in Sonichu.

Magi-Chan - A stoical, deeply intelligent and introverted psychic. He is not particularly interested in socialization and subsequently resigns himself to work (IE, preventing crime) most of the time. He is well-read in philosophy, law and history, leading him to often question the dubious morality of his actions and assigned tasks. He detests Chris and the government he rules over but he keeps this to himself. He is profoundly lonely deep down, desirous of someone who will appreciate him.

Punchy and Wild- A pair of belligerent and frequently boisterous Sonichus who live to roughhouse. Punchy is a pugilist who is seen taking a great deal of joy in fighting (A la, the Orks from Warhammer 40K) and he is generally depicted as being somewhat thick-headed. Wild is a talented albeit lazy and hedonistic 'chu who would much prefer to just party and have fun then do any work. Neither chu takes any interest in politics or the motives of the government and the villains. The two are close friends and their antics frequently cause hilarity to unfold. They are still the comic-relief characters, so-to-say.

Angelica - A frumpy and soft-spoken Rosechu who maintains a facade of being a zealous, celibate and utterly devoted nun. In private, she experiences a great deal of cognitive dissonance between her accepted values and her intrinsic desires. She is a closeted lesbian, a fact that she desperately tries to suppress and eradicate from her being. She hates the dogma that she forces herself to swallow but cannot bring herself to admit her distaste for it. Her bottling up her emotions leads her to frequently be stressed out and on the brink of snapping at other people.

Blachu/Blake/Whatever his name is - A nihilistic counterpart to Sonichu who rejects the whims of society and defines his own morality. Like Sonichu, he goes to strenuous lengths to discover where he belongs in this world. He is frustrated by the excess and amorality of CWCville and is very cynical as a result. Additionally, he chooses to fight alongside the other villains on the side of evil as he is unimpressed by what passes for "good" in the world of Sonichu.

Mary Lee Walsh - A dissatisfied and deeply moral revolutionary leading a rebellion against the CWCville government. After a city-wide suppression of intellectuals and the educated, Mary raised her banner in protest, calling the people of CWCville to arms. She despises Chris and the corruption he presides over but she does not see him for what he truly is.

I would have put down something for Bubbles but I honestly couldn't think of anything.

So here are some of my stupid ideas for a Sonichu reboot.

Chris - Chris is an average citizen of Quickville (this time not named after Chris) who holds a steady job at the Game Place, and is generally liked around town. He dreams of becoming famous through publishing a graphic novel, but unfortunately he doesn't have many ideas he can make work. Chris can be pretty lax and reasonable alot of the time, but is rather naive and can be hot-headed. When he's angry he loses sight of what a good decision is, and can be pretty bad at giving advice.

Sonichu - Sonichu was the result of a genetic experiment conjured by Naitsirch that involved combining a wild Pikachu with the DNA of Sonic the Hedgehog, and merged with a sample of Perfect Chaos' water. The idea was to create the ultimate superspecies of Pokemon that was both fast and powerful to overrun Quickville and eventually the surrounding areas. Sonichu managed to escape the lab and found Chris while he was out feeling lonely. Sonichu has a good heart, is kinda socially awkward and can act like a wild animal. Being the result of a failed experiment he sometimes can not control his powers which results in him almost hurting his friends. He appreciates being able to express himself through language but sometimes wishes he could go back to being a regular Pikachu.

Rosechu - Naitsirch's second attempt at a Sonichu, this time conducted on a kidnapped domesticated Raichu.When the DNA experiment was conducted they used technology to forcefully change Rosechu's gender to a girl. "She" was rescued by Chris and Sonichu while they were sneaking around Naitsirch's laboratory. Unlike Sonichu, Rosechu can control her electric powers easier but at the cost of them being severely weaker. She's supportive and kind to all to she's a huge coward. Rosechu wants nothing more but to help her friends and return to her trainer Kel. She also develops a crush on Sonichu but is afraid to say because she'd then have to tell him she was originally a dude.

Blake - The 3rd attempt at a Sonichu. This time Naitsirch begged for the help of Dr. Eggman and the result was a dark Sonichu named which they named Blachu. He later renames himself to Blake in an attempt to get his own identity. Due to the mix of Cherry Cola he is able to control his powers fluently at the cost of being slightly slower than Sonichu and Rosechu and having perpetually sticky hands. He dislikes being in the shadow of Sonichu and being referred to as some lousy clone. He struggles in having his own identity and wants to prove he is the superior Sonichu by outrunning and defeating Sonichu. He's on the run from Naitsrch, Dr. Eggman, the law enforcement of Quickville and Chris & friends.

I might do some later for the Chaotic Combo and other characters, but these were just my ideas for these 4 guys.
