HORIZON LORE: The nova-verse Is a galaxy barely legible to any species comprehension, one day, one entity decided to combine both sol drift essence and nova energy to attempt to make life after a few experiments he found his result. A vicious monster who would like to see every living being suffer so without giving it a gender or anything at all, he collected it into a ball of mass (similar to an asteroid) And shot it down to random planets and where did he landed. An alternate version of mobius called mobius-X. It had the ability to transform itself to any living creature ( but with the disadvantage tho) So when it said knuckles the echidna It became infatuated by his nature's so It decided to transform itself to the echidna warrior but did you remember when I said there was a catch, it always gets the appearance somewhat wrong. Instead of being a red echidna instead it's a white echidna and he has Sonic's gloves but they're yellow. But it didn't care at all, it wanted to show the world what pain is, and it will not stop in this conquest until it gets what it wants. (this is just a teaser so i am not showing the design or the d-sides variants lore or design)
