Gizoids
Gizoids are ancient robots created four thousand years ago near the end of the
Fourth Great Civilization. They were created to be the ultimate military
robots, capable of destroying entire armies. Gizoids are powerful, and it
appears that Ix and the Nocturnus Clan have created Gizoid Centurions, which
are even more powerful versions of the original Gizoid design.
Though the Nocturnus Clan uses Gizoids extensively, the most famous Gizoid is
Emerl. Discovered just over fifty years ago by Prof. Gerald Robotnik, Emerl
was an ancient weapon that could mimic the powers and abilities of things
around him. According to Prof. Robotnik's notes, Emerl was responsible for the
destruction of the Fourth Great Civilization.
Prof. Robotnik programmed Emerl with a "Soul" based on the personality of his
granddaughter Maria Robotnik. Unfortunately, Emerl was prone to overload whe
he absorbed too many abilities, and when he absorbed too many of Robotnik's
weapons and machines, he destroyed a large section of the Space Colony ARK,
Robotnik's orbital space station.
Years later, Eggman found Emerl the Gizoid and gave him a Chaos Emerald as a
experiment. Emerl absorbed the Emerald, and Eggman threw him away, angered
that he couldn't recover the Emerald.
Sonic later found Emerl, and bonded with him right away. Emerl slowly began to
develop a personality and became a friend to Sonic and the rest of the team,
but Eggman worked hard to capture the Gizoid. When Eggman finally came after
him, Emerl went on a rampage, forcing Sonic to destroy him. Defeated, Emerl
disappeared in a flash of light, leaving only shards of the Chaos Emeralds
behind. Some believe that Emerl is still alive inside the Chaos Emeralds.
Angel Island
Angel Island is the home of the Master Emerald, the most powerful relic i
Sonic's world, and the Emerald's guardian, Knuckles. The island itself once
floated in midair over the land, but with the Master Emerald gone, Angel
Island fell into the ruins of Metropolis.
Around four thousand years ago, Angel Island was part of the city known as
Mystic Ruins. On Angel Island stood a shrine to the Master Emerald and the
Chaos Emeralds. Pachacamac, the chief of Knuckles' clan, tried to steal the
Chaos Emeralds and angered its guardian spirit, who became Perfect Chaos. This
god-like being virtually destroyed Knuckles' clan in revenge.
The actions of Perfect Chaos resulted in an energy backlash that ripped Angel
Island from the ground, causing it to float above what is now Mystic Ruins.
Before Perfect Chaos could do any more damage, Pachacamac's daughter, Tikal,
managed to seal it and herself inside the Master Emerald. Over the centuries,
the few surviving members of Knuckles' clan became even fewer. Knuckles is, at
present, the last of his kind.
Angel Island [*]
Unfortunately, the Marauders recently captured Knuckles, and when Sonic and
friends freed him, they all noticed that Angel Island was missing! Eggman
told the team that the Marauders had somehow pulled Angel Island away from
Mystic Ruins and put it on a course to the skies over Metropolis. When the
Marauders' leader, Ix, stole the Master Emerald, Angel Island quickly fell
into the ruins of Metropolis, where it now lies, drained of all magic.
The Fourth Great Civilizatio
The Fourth Great Civilization was an ancient civilization that existed
thousands of years ago. Prof. Gerald Robotnik first proposed that it existed;
he also believed that Emerl the Gizoid was behind its destruction.
Little is known about the Fourth Great Civilization other that they created
the Gizoids, and thus Emerl himself, and that Emerl's creation appears to
have lead to the destruction of the nation.
[*] If so, it might be possible that the Nocturnus Clan echidnas were the
Fourth Great Civilization. The Nocturnus historian Nestor the Wise claims
that Emerl was "our finest creation". According to Nestor, Emerl didn't
destroy the Nocturnus Clan directly, but his creation led to the Clan's
disappearance. Emerl and the Gizoids made the Nocturnus Clan unstoppable,
and at the peak of their power, they were whisked away to the Twilight Cage.
[*] If all this is true, then the Fourth Great Civilization still exists,
imprisoned in the Twilight Cage. Its leader is the sinister Ix, who is
obsessed with conquering the world from which he was taken.
The Nocturnus Cla
The Nocturnus Clan are a nation of echidnas who lived in Sonic's world in
ancient times. Led by the powerful chief Ix and bolstered by their highly
advanced technology, the Nocturnus Clan very nearly conquered the ancient
world. Only the Knuckles Clan, led by the powerful mystic Pachacamac, could
stand in their way.
The Nocturnus Clan mysteriously disappeared 4000 years ago, just after
Pachacamac tapped the Chaos Emeralds and the Knuckles Clan was destroyed by
Perfect Chaos. Until recently, only legends survived of the powerful ancient
echidna race that once nearly controlled the world, but recent events have
revealed that the Nocturnus Clan has existed all along, locked away in a
alternate dimension called the Twilight Cage.
[*] The Nocturnus historian, Nestor the Wise, revealed that the Nocturnus
invented the Gizoids, including Emerl, leading to the sugestion that the
Nocturnus Clan actually was the Fourth Great Civilization proposed by Prof.
Gerald Robotnik.
The Twilight Cage
The dimension known as the Twilight Cage has been home to the Nocturnus since
their disappearance from Sonic's world 4000 years ago. The Nocturnus Clan
leader, Ix, has tried for a long time to find a way out of the Twilight Cage.
Part of his plan was to bring all the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald
inside the alternate dimension, where he could use their power to escape.
The Twilight Cage is home to many strange races, including the Kron, the Zoah,
the Voxai, and the N'rrgal. Each race lives on a floating planetoid, or
colony, separated by a space-like dimensional void. The Nocturne, the
stronghold of the Nocturnus Clan, stands on a colony in the center of the
Twilight Cage. The Twilight Cage is further divided by the zones of Sector
Scylla and Sector Charyb.
[*] Based on his translations of ancient Precursor tablets, the Nocturnus
historian Nestor the Wise has theorized that the races of the Twilight Cage
are there because they are dangerous and powerful. It's possible that all the
races were brought to the Twilight Cage on purpose by a mysterious higher
power that created the Twilight Cage as a prison of sorts. It also seems as if
time moves differently in the Cage, such that a day in the Twilight Cage is
like a year in some worlds and a minute in others. Signs point to a being
named "Argus" as the supreme creator and ruler of the Twilight Cage. Nestor
seemed to go a little mad and locked himself in his home when he read that
last Precursor tablet.
The Twilight Cage operates on a different dimensional frequency from Sonic's
world, so it can only be entered through the use of warp generators or
wormholes. Thankfully, a wormhole to the Twilight Cage requires a level of
power that only a relic such as the Master Emerald could generate.
The Argus Event [*]
Nocturnus Clan and their appearance in the Twilight Cage. It was coined by a
Nocturnus historian named Nestor the Wise soon after the Nocturnus arrived i
the Twilight Cage.
The term refers to a strange phenomenon that all Nocturnus echidnas
experienced when they first arrived. At the moment the Nocturnus disappeared,
all members of the Nocturnus Clan heard a voice in their minds say something
that like "Argus." No one has yet been able to explain what this meant.
After studying tablets left behind by the Precursors, Nestor has theorized
that the Argus Event was caused by a powerful, mysterious being called Argus,
who seems to be collecting (or imprisoning) dangerous, powerful races from
other worlds.
Argus [*]
Little is known about the mysterious being known as Argus. The Nocturnus Cla
historian Nestor the Wise theorizes that Argus is the super-powerful being
that created the Twilight Cage and imprisoned the races within. The only
source of information about Argus are tablets left behind by the Precursors,
thought to be one of the first races imprisoned in the Twilight Cage.
I'll let you guys read through this, very interesting, gives more incites on characters like Emerl, what happened 4000 years prior, and a god-like being of the Twilight Prison called "Argus" which possibly controls its own pocket dimension.
