Space or click to scroll. Pretty proud of myself for some of these. I decided I was going to come up with lore similar to the OG character’s lore. 1. Hellbringer (Thanks to @fnf_the_fan for the better name lol): A long time ago, HB was asked by a game company to make a video game with them. He immediately accepted, and made tons and tons of money. People, like in real life, went around pirating this game. One kid got his hands on a pirated copy of Harbringer: The Game (very original title, ik), but it was weird. Basic Sonic.EXE lore at this point. 2. Xandros: Hellbringer’s advanced form. That simple. At first, I wanted to name him after a Greek figure like Xanthus and Xenophanes, but they all sounded too Greek, so I looked up cool names that start with X and I was NOT disappointed! 3. Lord H: The same sitch as Hellbringer. Pirated game files made this abomination, but he’s much more powerful than Xandros, but he’s actually really humble, and doesn’t brag about it. H is best friends with Xandros and Majin, though, so he brings it up every now and then. Note: He doesn’t give a crap about his dental health, so he doesn’t brush his teeth and eats whatever he wants. 4. Majin Harbringer: This one I wanted to really make special. Harbringer was sleeping one night and was pranked by his friends, but it didn’t turn out so well. They glued a freaky mask on his face, figuring that he would just laser it off or break it, but he couldn’t. Turns out the mask was made by the Majin Sonic, and it fused with Harbringer’s face and body, and he became a slave to Majin Sonic. Because of his power levels, however, he maintained his general color scheme and personality, and Majin made HB his second in command. He hates his entire existence and can’t end it all, so he’s stuck like this for eternity, which is why he’s crying in the image. 5. *Harbinger: Just memey HB. I thought the name would be kinda funny just cause everyone used to correct me on it
6. Glitch: Like Xandros, HB was asked to do a video game. He accepted, but this company was ahead of its time. Their ideas were too large and forward for modern technology to handle. HB got sucked into the game in a horrible accident. The company was sued for more than they had for killing the multiverse’s greatest hero and got shut down. The game’s code was never deleted. Glitch has been stuck in the game for years and years. He still is. He’s sitting patiently, waiting for someone to foolishly activate the game, ready to eradicate everyone ever associated with that doomed-from-the-start project. I had a lot of fun designing him. 7. Inc0mplete: I used Needlem0use as a body frame, but he is nothing like Needlem0use. Yet another failed game situation, he was an unused asset in the game that became sentient through a sizeable glitch in the system. He noticed he wasn’t even mentioned or credited at all, so he replaced himself with the Harbringer model used in the game and was like that for every game produced after that. The games went out of development and Inc0mplete was once again forgotten and left in the garbage. With his design, I wanted him to seem like he was thrown away before he was even finished, with missing line art, colors, a cut off tail and no nose. He actually came out pretty well. 8. Harbringer.EYX: No special lore, just a really stretched, desaturated, highly unsettling HB BONUS: Silly Billy I did for fun. NOTE: Will NOT be used in Goofy Goober
