In fact, the first official characters, barring a couple of dream sequences, do not appear until chapter 67.

* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: Despite the fic carrying a "T" rating on FanFictionDotNet, there's little non-kid-friendly content to speak of besides a few minor and forced sexual jokes, Paint bleeding mildly in one scene from injuries, and a scene where Maxwell's parents are apparently taking some type of unnamed depressant drug together. It's more than likely that this has to do with T ratings inherently attracting more visitors than the more modest "K+".

** Also, the ''Explosion Echidna'' films and the horror movie the group watches.
* StraightGay: Maxwell and Alice being gay is never really mentioned or consequential apart from whom they crush on. In fact, Maxwell is by far the most crass, impolite, burly, and violent one of the main cast.

* AuthorAppeal: Anything related to languages and linguistics, apparently, since a number of indigenous Mobian languages are discussed (especially the Echidna language, the origin of the names of a number of characters and locations, e.g. Solakku) and the pillbugs' accent is explicitly stated in an author's note to be based on the "Northern Cities Vowel Shift".
* AuthorAvatar: Seemingly averted, despite the reputation of OriginalCharacters and ''Sonic'' ones in particular.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Only days after mocking her heritage and forcing Jewel to beat her up, Maxwell has gotten on good enough terms with Paint to defend her at her trial, although he doesn't appear comfortable with the idea.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: This grim possibility isn't stated, but if Arrowhead had not connived a way to set Paint and Alice free from their shackles in the main building of their labor camp as it burned to the ground, the metal would have become red-hot before melting to their skin.
Added DiffLines:
* DefrostingIceQueen: Arrowhead's mother is, simply put, not a nice woman at first, especially not to Paint. She only comes to [[Main/TookALevelInKindness lighten up]] - while keeping her snarky mannerisms, but with a warmer core behind them - when Star, the embodiment of her scorn of the girl, ends up rescuing the town from other Eggman robots and she realizes what a jerk she's been.

* TheHermit: Morris the Iguana, who lives in a hidden shack at Sunny Clearing's outskirts. He occasionally participates in community activities, such as gathering food (him having been the one to find the infant Paint and take her home on one such outing). He mentions a distaste for the village's ignorant hive mentality as cause for his isolation.

Added DiffLines:
* TheMillstone: Paint, although she is [[Main/TheHeart also the source of most of the group's overt kindness and caring]].
* MyBelovedSmother: While Arrowhead's mother is in truth only looking out for her son's safety, she sees Paint as a bad influence and goes to at-times ridiculous lengths to keep her away from him, such as silencing him with condescending, caustic remarks at her trial so he cannot testify in favor of the girl.
* Main/{{Narm}}: Paint's oddly grim reverie formed from the guilt of getting Maxwell's wing broken, which involves her being sentenced in a Gothic courtroom to an exaggerated version of his punishment by an even more gratuitously evil Nisaya.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Cayne the Mink. This is especially uncomfortable due to her apparently [[Main/ThePigPen poor hygiene and unkempt fur]].
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: A consequence of Paint's frantic, esoteric style of humor. Normally it only results in her briefly unintentionally offending someone (namely, when Oliver thinks she is making fun of his accent when she actually adores it) and having to apologize. It becomes damning, however, when she and her friends have just been brought to the labor camp and she realizes Alice looks uncomfortable, so she makes a number of rapid-fire IncrediblyLamePuns, the last of which contains the word "wing" and reminds Nisaya that Maxwell could potentially fly away to alert the police to their activities. This causes the woman to [[Main/BrokenAngel break his wing]] and leave it untreated, after which he obviously doesn't want to talk to Paint for quite a while.
* PantslessMalesFullyDressedFemales: Averted, unlike in the official ''Sonic'' universe and the majority of other fan works, except for canonical female characters and others from nearby regions wearing clothes.
* Main/{{Planimal}}: Obvious. Borders on Main/PlantPerson on account of Mobians' human-like intelligence, behavior, and body structure, but regular plants do not have sentience in this universe.

Added DiffLines:
* SerialRomeo: Esmeralda the Pillbug. Her pushy, loud-mouthed attitude, which belies her good heart, doesn't help.
* SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism: FunnyAnimal by default, as in the canonical ''Sonic'' universe, but perhaps with a nudge in the animal direction, as few of even the females wear clothing, and they sometimes display behaviors native to their species counterparts, e.g. Paint wagging her two tails when she's exceptionally happy.
* SlidingScaleOfRealisticVersusFantastic: Fantastic leaning a bit toward simply Unusual, as this extended version of Mobius is adorned with features of the real world not normally seen in ''Sonic'' media, perhaps with the exception of the Archie comics, such as cities and towns with names (even street names), indigenous Mobian cultures and languages, political and religious issues and structures, and few Mobians not from official works having any supernatural powers.
* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: Around the middle, while the actual show tends to stick to one of the two extremes.

Changed line(s) 10 (click to see context) from:
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Hoo boy. Between the named and unnamed locals of Paint and co.'s hometown Sunny Clearing (including Arrowhead's, Jewel's, and Maxwell's parents), nearby Little Apple, metropoleis [[NamesToRunAwayFrom/UnpronouncableNames Yakhtanmantannji]] and Electric City, and a small child-labor camp, the story has included dozens of OriginalCharacters, most of them Mobians. In fact, the first official characters, barring a couple of dream sequences, do not appear until chapter 67.
to:
* AffablyEvil: Dr. Eggman generally, per his ''Sonic X'' incarnation. His portrayal in the 2010-onward games also counts, and this possibility is channeled by him having Decoe, Bocoe, Orbot, ''and'' Cubot as assistants.
* AmericanAccents: Electric City (as first shown by Oliver and Esmeralda) has what would in American English terms be called a UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} accent. In-universe, this may be explainable by this area being colonized by humans from the corresponding region of Earth (this colonization process has been hinted at a few times, such as with the etymology of Maxwell's name being unknown to Mobians) or by its features developing independently, but per Main/WordOfGod Raven, who identifies himself as being from Chicago, just wanted to try his hand at representing the accent as an eye-dialect.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Chives the Dog. In accordance, she never seems to mind [[spoiler:being enslaved in a diamond mine]].
* BoldExplorer: Played up by Paint at a few points (including the first chapter), as she romanticizes literary adventuring.
* BringMyBrownPants: Paint wets herself when [[spoiler:the group encounters a giant Eggman robot in the woods, this constituting one of the fic's only true fight sequences]].
* CharacterDevelopment: All four of the main Mobians, to varying extents. Paint learns to be a more responsible person and consult her friends before rash decision-making after [[spoiler:their vitriolic reaction to her freeing from captivity the two wolves who imprisoned them and other youngsters for several weeks]]. In turn, she has (both by example and by good-natured ribbing) taught Arrowhead to harness his creativity, Jewel to stand up for himself and do what he loves, and Maxwell to be less hostile and kinder - admittedly, with ambivalent results.
* ComingOfAgeStory: By default, as its journey is undertaken by a group in (at the beginning) its tweens and early teens who have never spent much of any time away from their home village or even with one another.
* ContinuityNod: Paint's fear of thunder is likely a reference to Tails' in ''Anime/SonicTheHedgehogTheMovie''. In addition, the world is named Mobius (and its currency "mobiums") after that in ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehog'', and ''Comics/ArchieSonicTheHedgehog'' - plus other derivatives such as the planet's main language being called "Mobian" (though this may be a TranslationConvention, since both ''Sonic X'' and the games have been released in multiple languages).
* DeathByMaterialism: Subverted. [[spoiler:Nisaya, who runs the child labor camp, almost burns to death because, when she refuses to leave a crumbling building until she has picked up a number of valuable diamonds from the floor, she is trapped under a falling beam. Nevertheless, she is rescued by her brother Nettle and Paint, unconscious but safe.]]
* FantasticRacism: In multiple forms.
** Paint's isolation as a child has largely to do with her association with the Metarex, who the village learns attempted to destroy the entire galaxy (the central conflict of ''Sonic X'''s third season).
** Henry [[NamesToRunAwayFrom/UnpronouncableNames Mikolajczak]], a colleague of Caroline Schlosser's father and a human, sends a sympathetic email to him about Caroline's disappearance, where he mentions offhand about Mobian police: "The police haven't found anything, but they're not widely known for their competence anyway (I'm a tolerant man, but I don't know if we'd be in this situation if we had humans doing the job...)". In the same email, he misspells Baaritch, the name of the central Mobian deity, and admits that he never paid enough attention to their culture to know if he was doing it right.
** Regarding the history of humans in Mobius' media: "Of additional note, although not related to the setting's age, was the apparent absence of any Mobians in sight - it was all humans as far as the eye could see. Paint had a hunch this wasn't just a manifestation of extreme political correctness crowding out all but Mobius' most resented minority group."
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Paint (Sanguine), Maxwell (Choleric), Jewel (Melancholic), and Arrowhead (Phlegmatic) seem almost designed after the four classical temperaments at times.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Hoo boy. Between the named and unnamed locals of Paint and co.'s hometown Sunny Clearing (including Arrowhead's, Jewel's, and Maxwell's parents), nearby Little Apple, metropoleis [[NamesToRunAwayFrom/UnpronouncableNames Yakhtanmantannji]] and Electric City, and a small child-labor camp, the story has included dozens of OriginalCharacters, most of them Mobians. In fact, the first official characters, barring a couple of dream sequences, do not appear until chapter67.67.
* LockedInARoom:
** In the trope's most traditional form, when Paint and Alice the Hedgehog are trapped inside a mountain after the rocks they are digging out block their exit and leave them completely in the dark. It is here that Alice reveals her crush on her and kisses her - Paint gently lets her down, causing a brief spell of anger, but they remain good friends. Afterwards, they are locked in a room again to prepare orders for customers as their captors deem them unfit for manual labor.
** Similarly, when Arrowhead accompanies Maxwell to the hospital for his surgery to mend his broken wing, it is later revealed that Max admitted having had a crush on him in the past.
* {{Metalhead}}: Cayne the Mink, plus her two brothers and father, can't get enough of the stuff, much to other characters' dismay when they're trapped in a truck with her and she has control of the radio.
* ScheduleFanatic: Alice to some extent; she was first captured by the wolves because she desperately needed a ride home so she would be on time for some event. She admits Paint's spontaneous nature is what turned her onto her in the first place.
* SupportingLeader: Arguably Arrowhead, the planner and detail-keeper of the group.
* TheWoobie: Star. As one of Dr. Eggman's robots, it was implanted with an explosive so that he could blow it up at any point if it misbehaved, and only escaped this punishment by wandering out of range; it was controlled by a radio transceiver. The reason it left its teammates in the first place, of course, was that they were bullying it for its incompetence on the job, which were largely the result of its depression after its best friend was killed by [[spoiler:Blaze]]. Yeesh.
* AmericanAccents: Electric City (as first shown by Oliver and Esmeralda) has what would in American English terms be called a UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} accent.

-->-- Paint to (and, teasingly, about) Arrowhead, chapter 1
A [[{{LongRunner}} long-running]] ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' fanfic by Plastic Raven (better known for his presence on the Website/SegaForums), created as a FanSequel to ''Anime/SonicX'' but also including characters and locations exclusive to the games - and [[{{LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters}} lots]], ''lots'' of [[{{OriginalCharacter}} original ones]]. Raven's first entry into the fanfic world, he posted the first few chapters on the forums before migrating it to Website/FanFictionDotNet. It has been running since May of 2014 and appears to have no end in sight; it can be found on FF.net [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10400350/1/Don-t-Keep-Your-Distance-Post-Sonic-X-Fic here]].
The story centers on the quest of eleven-year-old [[{{MeaningfulName}} Paint]] the [[{{HotSkittyOnWailordAction}} Seedrian-Fox]] - who was born from a seed cast down to Mobius (Sonic and co.'s world, unnamed in the show) and found by the grumpy recluse of a nearby village - [[DisappearedDad to meet]] her father, Tails, after she learns from this recluse that he exists; prior to this development, her life has consisted mostly of abandonment and bullying for her connection to the [[{{PlantAliens}} Metarex]] and her [[{{ConfirmationBias}} related]] history of bad behavior. She can't go it alone, though ([[{{DitzyGenius}} no, she]] [[{{WideEyedIdealist}} really can't]]), but her best friend (see header quote), her former bully, ''his'' best friend, and [[{{HeelFaceTurn}} one of Dr. Eggman's robots]] all find reasons to come along, and their journey takes them literally across the world that is so scarcely seen in the show as they bond together in ways none of them could have imagined.
