Chapter Text
Character: Knuckles/Dave/“Glitch Knuckles”
From: Nothing in particular
Laugh:NA
Bio: Dave was just your average Sonic fan and average fanfic writer. He was in a group of friends who mostly liked his stories. Most of his stories had his favorite Sonic character as the focus. That character of course being Knuckles. One day a friend of Dave's named Alan had sent a slightly suspicious email to Dave to come play a Sonic game with him. Dave came over and was weirded out by the fact that Alan wasn't around before coming to the realization that Alan was inside the game. Dave tried to deny it but that didn't last long before he was pulled in himself. Many brutal deaths later and the usually reserved Dave broke mentally and became an absurdist maniac who genuinely believed he was Knuckles the Echidna before eventually breaking free in an attempt to resist the being that trapped him here. Unfortunately while he played a part in its downfall the being would on purposely corrupt the data as punishment and now Dave can't fight back anymore
Personality: Dave was a reserved teen who was more stoic than anything. Basically more of an introvert that generally didn't really care about people who weren't his friends. “Knuckles” was an absurdist maniac who laughed at his pain as he realized that trying to save himself is futile and instead lashed out at others. “Glitch Knuckles” has no control over his own body but is conscious and in pain at all times. He does not regret his decision as it set Xenophanes far back.
Voice: I would try to voice it myself but I have no idea how to do that on mobile. Besides it's just my shitty impression of the one below

Character dynamics:
He cannot really form any bonds as his speech is not only crusty audio but it's also backwards. He fears Xenophanes but in the way of “he's a child toying with the world” kinda way
Fun facts:
I wanted the victims to be the same kind of people who'd be into Sonic.exe.
Knuckles was always more of a backup character.
He still is
His arc will be shown in twisted.
His arc is based off the lyrics I made for triple trouble.
The Glitch design choice was made before I knew about “Chaotix” or “Wechidna” from the canceled builds this has been the idea since Omnipresent came out
With that being said he was originally just based on the Wechnia Glitch from Knuckles Chaotix.
Now he's just based on multiple Glitches such as: Wechnia (obviously), Blue Knuckles (From Sonic 3 & Knuckles), A Glitchy bunch of Fire Sprites (Pre Blue Knuckles Glitch), and general pallet swaps.
“Glitch Knuckles” isn't an in-universe name for him, it's for 4th wall purposes only.
