I meant to get this done almost a year ago.....^.^;

A meme started by Sonar15 for her Sonic Underdogs, a group dedicated to fan created characters who are well thought out and developed who do not receive as much attention as they deserve. The message of the group is bring more focus to the positive side of the fandom. There are those of us that exist that put time, effort and a lot of thought into what we create, and how we represent something we love.

This one is for every Hedgehog, Rabbit, Dog, Cat, Wolf, Fox or any other species that is 'popular' in the fandom.

I chose Haydrian for this as he's more than once come under fire for the simple fact that I picked a species from the series that was already popular, but that I have loved for it's own real life aspects since before I even knew what Sonic was. Some one I looked up to as a fellow artist once told me I should change what Haydrian was because hedgehogs had been over done, but by that point, to have changed Haydrian's species would have also changed who he was, and even though I've actually played with concepts for that, I have never been able to see him as anything other than what he is and still consider it to be Haydrian.
But rather than let myself become discouraged because of this, or give in because I'd been criticized by some one I respected for their art, I became even more determined to make Haydrian into a unique, engaging character with a story I could be proud of, and have fun with. This one moment of criticism might not have made me reconsider Haydrian's species, but it lead to a whole bunch of my own world building with in the frame work of the world of Mobius and the comic series. So I guess I owe that person regardless, because if not for that, my own locations of Merona, Ale'noda, Brook Haven, Abbony and Little Spar, as well as many other characters I've created might not have existed. Tales of Mobius might not be developing as it has, into it's own stand alone story that only resides in the world of the Sonic comics, but is otherwise independent of it. And Haydrian himself certainly might not have been as dynamic and refined as he is today. And I'm still working on his details even further. (Like,what all does he actually carry in his back pack and what might he acquire in the future.)

So even if a character is from a species that a lot of people like to work with, it does not mean they can not be great and worth getting to know.

Thanks to my friend and fellow deviant/fandom nerd, CheVD , for help with lay out, and text.
