[Neo Metal Sonic greatly prefers familiarity. It is easier to make calculations and determine optimal outcomes for one's actions when one can guess how others will respond and prepare accordingly. It doesn't always go to plan, of course - his latest failure attests to that - but he still retains his power and that's good enough for now. What's significantly less good is the fact that he's somewhere entirely new, and he's going to have to spend weeks updating his databanks with all this new information. No time to get started like the present, then.

So you can find Neo Metal Sonic just about anywhere, studying everything Ellipsa has to offer and filing it away for reference, should he have need of it. This particularly edgy-looking hedgehog probably stands out not only for his robotic appearance, but also for his height; he's taller than your average anthropomorphic hedgehog and much more menacing. This has not stopped a few fairy bunnies from deciding that he looks lonely as hell, however. One has made itself at home on his shoulder while the other follows him at a distance. Neo Metal Sonic doesn't spare either of them a passing glance after establishing that they are not a threat and not particularly noteworthy outside of their odd characteristics.

Notably, he has completely missed the memo that they're carrying mistletoe and what that implies. But surely it's fine because he doesn't have a mouth and cannot be kissed. The bunnies have not realized this either, thus leaving us at a (very stupid) impasse.]

[It likely goes without saying that Neo Metal Sonic is not here for shenanigans. He is a very serious robot hedgehog who has one goal in life. So he is purposefully avoiding any and all fun prompts and is instead out in the evening in Nightwake, watching people write their thoughts onto paper and then setting them aflame. If you're here early, he'll turn to you and ask:]

What is the purpose behind burning one's regrets? Is it merely symbolic?

[His voice is also surprisingly deep to be coming out of such a silly-looking hedgehog.

Or maybe you come across him later, where he's decided to take part in burning the things he wishes to leave behind. Apparently he's got quite a few of those, because he just keeps going back after setting a slip of paper on fire... Is this the fourth? Fifth? Sixth? Someone please tell him to stop, setting things on fire is not exactly the catharsis he clearly needs right now.]

( Want to do something else with Neo? Feel free to message me on this account or over at pokerap and we can work something else out! Neo's taken from gameverse, at the tail end of Sonic Heroes. While Neo may not enjoy shenanigans, I certainly do, so I'm down to make him suffer!! )
