Character Introduction[]
X (better known as Sonic.exe, or it's remake) is the titular main antagonist of the exe-styled horror game "SONIC 2011" and the official canon remake of Sonic.exe by JoeDoughBoi.
He is voiced by DylanZeMuffin.
The Being[]
Appearance[]
His main vessel's appearance is similar to Sonic's, but monstrous. He has black eyes with red pupils, grey shoes & yellow sharp teeth; his real appearance although, is a blob made out of dark energy, exhibiting his iconic red eyes.
Personality[]
X is sadistic and cruel and has an instinctive lust for destruction and pain. He also is short-tempered, and doesn't like if something does not happen the way he wants to. He's also aggressive and narcissistic (presumably), killing and torturing the ones that plays his game and calling himself God.
Origin[]
The Character's Origin[]
In mid-2011, the creature that would soon become Sonic.exe was born within the void between dimensions. It is unclear how he came to be, the creature was born within a cataclysm brought on by multiple forms of primordial energy accidentally ramming into each other all at once after said energy was trying to assemble itself in a creative manner. These "ingredients" created a sentient mass of Dark Matter, a creature purely made of primordial energy.
After X was born, he explored the recesses of subspace, floating in the darkness as a giant blob of pure dark energy with two red eyes. Suddenly, he discovered a dimensional window that revealed planet Earth and all that it contains. It is here that X learned about humans and Sonic the Hedgehog, and right then and there he was utterly fascinated by both, mostly by Sonic, who he was smitten with.
X then copied Sonic's very image and formed a suitable body that would house all his energy, a body that all in the universe would remember. After he created his body, his eyes experienced great pain and started to bleed, a distinguishable birth mark. X was seemingly unshaken by the pain his eyes made, and instead laughed, his very first laughter echoing through the void; a testimonial example that X was born as something that can be considered pure evil.
X decided that all the living creatures on Earth (namely the humans) were meant to be under his control, that he was born to have all of humanity to himself and himself only until the very end of time. He realized that in order to have his slaves he needed to have a place to keep them all in, a world where they (in his view) would live forever in harmony with him as their king, a world where he was a god.
This is how he discovered his true power: X can manipulate reality in any way he desires. With his reality-warping powers he was able to create his own dimension in a matter of hours. The way he layed his world out was by making "rooms" in his world, several them based off of the levels in the Sonic the Hedgehog video games (Example being Hill Act 1 being based off of Green Hill Zone from the first Sonic game), albeit in his own sinister style.
After creating the basis for his world, X grew more egomaniacal about his powers, viewing his creativity as superior beyond all else. He was really eager to have humanity under his command, hoping to show them all how "wonderful" his newly-built home looked. Unfortunately X learned that he did not truly exist in the other universe and thus was not able to access into the human world very easily. He was, however, able to channel some of his powers into it to find ultimate access into it.
X used his powers to find a way into the human world, and found a suitable alternative through an unknown computer programmer. This programmer was highly skilled at what he did, in fact, his skills were said to be near U.S. government levels, and X believed him to be his ticket to glory. With his powers, X "influenced" the programmer to create a computer game that would serve as a temporary doorway between the human world and his own.
The final tool required to make such an object is a sample of X’s own essence, so he could have full control over the system of the game within. X sent out a piece of his dark power to the human world, which arrived into the game in a manner similar to that of a meteorite. The newly made game disk survived the resulting explosion brought on by the shard of power, but the programmer was nowhere to be found, and thus presumed dead. The piece of X's power is said to have made a huge X-shaped crater when it landed.
X began his human collecting when the disk started getting handed down person to person, every time a human inserted the disk and downloaded the "game", X gained full access into that person's computer and in turn total control over it as well. As the person plays the game, X uses his reality-altering powers to show that person what's in his world due to the game being a gateway into it, serving as a window between the worlds. Once the game is finished X could channel more of his powers into the human world to spy on the human who played it (such as sending a Sonic plush as a spy or creating horrific illusions), until the time to steal their soul came.
The first time X captured a human was rather hasty; when he obtained their soul he did it very poorly, resulting in the mouth, throat and chest getting quite mutilated, yet the body was still alive due to the loss of the soul causing merely a Persistent Vegetative State. As time went on X’s captures became more and more careful and elaborate to the point that X simply used his powers to pull the soul out rather than just using his hands, leaving the body unharmed yet still in a Persistent Vegetative State. Each time X stole the soul, he always carved a number into the chest of the victim to keep track of each of his victims in order.
As the attacks continue over the few years, news starts to come in about them and the police begin to classify the case as "the Sonic.exe Murders" (despite the victims still being technically "alive"), based on the evidence that the downloaded game called "Sonic.exe" remains inside each computer but is unplayable. X was amused at how the police coined the name "Sonic.exe" and thus decided to call himself that.
SONIC 2011: The Game[]
X in the "SONIC 2011" Game
Some time after his arrival on Earth, an unknown individual would find X’s disk, playing it and meeting X himself. We don’t know the identity of this person or how he encountered the disk, all that we know is that he would dump the file within the disk online as a GameJolt game in an attempt to get rid of X’s influence. It’s likely he wasn’t successful, since X himself is implied to be the one in control of the account after the victim made his last post.
After that, you, the player, would download the game and play it, leading to the chain of events we’ve all experienced dozens of times by now.
In typical Sonic.exe fashion, the game starts with the Sonic 1 title screen, which would distort itself upon pressing start. You're then taken to the save select, with Tails, Knuckles, and Dr. Eggman. Of course, you cannot select Knuckles or Eggman.
Upon selecting Tails, he appears in "HILL". After walking for a bit, lots of dead animals appear, and after walking enough Tails will come across Sonic, but he seemingly has grey shoes. Upon realizing who is standing in front of him, Tails will walk to the left on his own, attempting to avoid Sonic. The screen border will stop him from escaping, though. After you force him to walk towards Sonic, "Sonic" will turn towards Tails and open his eyes, revealing his identity. A black screen would then appear, with the text "HELLO. DO YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH ME?" within it. Alan then gets popped into HIDE AND SEEK, and after running a bit, the time counter would be given 10 seconds, which would eventually drop down until the count reaches 0. When it reaches 0, a sign pops up. "TIME OVER" followed by "READY OR NOT" and "HERE I COME". The screen would then show X himself, who would rapidly twitch his head in front of the player. He would also pop up in the level itself, and after chasing Tails, he would knock him into the ground. Tails would fall, unable to stand up. X would immediately teleport and snap Tails' spine, killing him in an instant. X would then mock the player by telling them "AWW...TOO SLOW. WANT TO TRY AGAIN?"Afterwards, Knuckles' level, "YOU CAN'T RUN", would start. The stage would be darker than usual, only lit up by thunder. At some point, Knuckles would come across X, who would tease him with a message that reads "FOUND YOU". Knuckles would attempt to attack back, but X would dodge every single blow, mocking Knuckles every time. After a while, X would kick Knuckles' face so hard his teeth would come flying off his mouth. X would then stab him with a piece of metal in the chest, killing him. Afterwards, X's would express his enjoyment of the scene and gloat about his past victims by saying "SO MANY SOULS, SO LITTLE TIME. WOULDN'T YOU AGREE?"
The player would then start up Robotnik's level, "...". After walking downstairs for about two minutes, X would suddenly appear in front of Eggman, scaring him. He'd then suddenly open his jaw, which would extend itself in length in an antinatural, impossible way. The screen would be filled with static, and then we'd be shown a black screen with nothing but a text saying "GAME OVER". The letters of said text would be tinted with blood.
We'd be shown the torn apart corpses of the three victims, locked within the save files for each character. Then, the screen would be filled with static, and we'd be shown a close up of X's eyes. The screen would light itself up and show us X's face, rendered through a 16-bit filter. Said filter would eventually vanish, showing us a realistic close up of his facial features. He'd then write out "I AM GOD" in our screen with his fingers, which were tainted with the blood of his previous victims. He'd then lunge at the screen, breaking it, and finishing the game.
Trivia[]
- This incarnation of Sonic.exe replaced the original entity by JC-the-Hyena as the definitive canonical version of the character, completely scrapping the original lore and replacing it with a similar, yet improved storyline. JoeDoughBoi refers to this incarnation as "the original".
- Sonic.exe possesses many differences from his original counterpart:
- He seemingly doesn't possess any sort of homosexual attraction towards Sonic the Hedgehog, nor is he bisexual with a preference towards men.
- He lacks both his Plushie.exe form and the Seven Guardians. The latter seemingly has been reimagined into the Soulless Sonic canon.
- He does not seem to have a burning hatred for the character of Amy Rose.
