The beginning of the story is relatively the same, except with Alexander being a kind child, and others using his kindness to their advantage, causing him to get *(strong word for unlived)*. However, upon entering his copy of the Sonic Mega Collection, he finds himself in Sonic 3's Angel Island. He is trapped for around 3 months, driving him to insanity, and looks for any way to get out. However, he stumbles upon an empty Sonic vessel (the vessels become empty if no one is playing the game OR if no human soul is inhabiting it) So, he takes over the vessel and changed it to his liking (Red eyes, darker fur, longer quills.) However, due to him still being in a moment of pure madness, he could never perfect his vessel, which explains how the eyes never look completely straight, has elongated arms, and his mouth is large and barely opens. Though, he can use his longer arms to his advantage. (still somewhat WIP I think)
