History Fanfic / MemoriesOfInfinitesPast

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Zero sheds a tear after defeating and [[{{Patricide}} slaying his father]], as he was so heartbroken by his wife's death.]]

Because of his [[DeathByChildbirth mother's death at his birth]], Infinite's, back known as Zero, father, Axel, [[MaternalDeathBlameTheChild blamed his son for all of the incident]] and [[AbusiveParents emotionally abused him]]. Zero robbed and stole just to impress Axel, a retired professional thief, yet Axel cared little. When Axel [[FreudianExcuse ultimately revealed why he hated him]], Zero ran away into the desert and is found by the Jackal Squad. After being accepted into the squad and inspired by other members' backstories, Zero embarks on a journey to become the Ultimate Mercenary of the Jackal Squad, training heavily and helping his comrades carry out heists. Meanwhile, a criminal leader is plotting to defeat and kill the Jackal Squad...

The fanfic's writing used to be very horrible and cringey, with blatant grammar errors over the place. Currently, the author is rewriting the story to fix the grammar errors and reformat the written-as-prose script.

Compare [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12755614/1/Forced-AU-The-Backstories-The-Rewrite Forced AU: The Backstories & Rewrite]], which also provides a backstory for Infinite, but is BloodierAndGorier than the source material.

* DarkerAndEdgier: While still PG-level and dark as ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'', thus not edgy enough to be a DarkFic, ''Memories of infinite's past'' gives {{Dark and Troubled Past}}s to members of the Jackal Squad, throws in swordfights and bombs, averts NeverSayDie, has TheBigBad wanting to murder the Jackal Squad, and uses [[AbusiveParents child abuse]] as the driving trope behind Infinite's backstory.

* SuperSoldier: Brawn was chosen as a guinea pig for HAM's experiment, Project Alpha, which was supposed to increase a soldier's speed, strength, and invulnerability. He went through it and it worked. Unfortunately, it later resulted in a FailsafeFailure (see Brawn's {{Backstory}} example).

The fanfic's writing is very horrible, with the blatant grammar errors and the fact that it's a ScriptFic written in pose, but if one manages to get pass that, [[SugarWiki/BetterThanItSounds the story turns out to be quite good.]]

For failing to defeat the Resistance, Infinite learns that Eggman was using him only just to beat Sonic and then is trashed. The Rookie later finds Infinite in the dump and, after being uncertain for a while, rescues him, just when he falls asleep and tells his backstory.

** '''Radar, Ace, and Scar''': Radar, Ace, and Scar were brought to an orphanage in Greycity. The orphanage was so poor that the staff were too lazy to [[NoNameGiven name the nameless three.]] The three jackals escaped by tying bed sheets together to make a rope and climbing out of the window. They sneaked into Stryker's truck and threatened Stryker to drive them away from the city. Stryker offered to accept the three into the Jackal Squad and they accepted.
** '''Stryker''': Stryker's mother, a prisoner of war, died shortly after his birth in the hands of a terrorist organization, Men in Arms and Glory (MIAAG). The terrorist leader decided to raise him as a ChildSoldier. He lived a harsh and unpleasant life, fighting weak countries. One day, the terrorist leader [[VillainBall stupidly]] called an attack on a country known as Metropolis. With most of his squad wiped out, Stryker had no choice but to surrender and escape to the base by sewer. The leader was very furious at his decision and exiled him to a faraway desert. While he was waiting to die, a villager found, rescued, and nursed Stryker back to health. Four years later, Stryker left to start his dream.
