Hello again! I'm sorry I really hope I'm not annoying you since this is the third time i'm asking you a question. First off, thank you for giving me the okay to make my story/series- Still no posts, but I've been working on it. But there's a question that has been nagging me recently and I would like to know the answer as it has to do with what I'm going to do and write for my story as well... Does Shadow have a heartbeat?

I'm sorry if that sounds stupid, but I remember how Omega, Scaro, and Leven all had that moment of feeling alive and having a heartbeat when Sonic held the Chaos Emeralds, but I don't recall Shadow struggling with that pain.

So does he have a heartbeat? If so, how and why? Was it because he was born a vampire while Leven had been turned?

Hello again! First of all, I just read Ch. 4 and i am shaking with anticipation! Also thank you very much for answering my last question. I hope you don't mind me asking this, but reading your "Turning Tides" series has unintentionally inspired me to try to make a story(or possibly series i don't know yet) similar to this. You know the "Chaos Born" lore you know. However, I wanted to get your permission first before getting started.

If it helps, I'll be adding my own twists and differences especially to how certain aspects of The Chaos Born. There will be some similarities but I'll be adding something new.

Instead of the name "Chaos Born" I will be calling them "Chaos Sparks."

Chaos( or at least the mention of him), Chaos Sparks, Creatures of the night, and quite possibly pirates will be included.

Shadow will be a creature of the night, but his origins will be vastly different.

Huge difference-Sonic and Shadow have already known each other at the very start of the story... But it's complicated and very angsty.

Sonic has always been aware of what he is, but that does not take away his adventurous spirit.

Instead of Shadow already knowing Rouge and Omega, you'll get to see Shadow develop his friendship with them after meeting them. Same with Sonic developing his friendship with Tails and Knuckles.

A lot of Johnny Depp movies helped inspire this fic (Not just "Pirates of the Carribean".)

Sonic is NOT the last of his kind. (I have OC's planned).

My girl Amy is going to be an interesting character indeed. With strong ties to Sonic and Shadow.

Sticks the Badger will be involved. 'Nuff said.

While the story mostly focuses on Sonic's world-lol "His World"- There may or may not be some small crossovers with a few other video game characters. Not a lot though.

The whole thing about Chaos Sparks finding Chaos Emeralds will be in there, and they are in danger of being hunted because of the gems and their gifts. But the story is mostly about Sonic and some of his friends trying to find what they're looking for.

I am currently in the process of making a pirate OC. But I promise they will not be a cheap knock-off of Leven, Grey, Jorah, and Scaro. But especially Leven and Grey!

If you would like I could drop in a reference from your story.

"Oh strong and silent type. Yeah I once knew a bear who was like that to."

"Oh what a brawl! Kind of reminds me of that time I fought with this really huge wolf!"

Lol, I'm just chuckling as I think of Sonic saying these things so casually or excitedly.

Anyway I hope this gives you assurance. But if you don't like, I will shelve this and it won't see the light of day.

Hi there! Typology nerd here. I was wondering if you knew your character's mbti? I recently began reading Tides of Chaos and I'm absolutely in love with it (specially with Leven), so i was wondering if you already knew your characters mbti, and if you dont, i could help!

I'm curious as to how the crew of The Final Hazard felt around the time of Uncle Chuck's funeral and Sonic's return to Soleanna. We see the crew-mainly Leven and Grey saddened for Sonic, and both are carrying guilt for not protecting their little blue friend from Black Doom. ("Embers" has him tell Amy he feels guilty for what happened). But how do they feel about the whole adventure in general?

We know Shadow feels guilt for Uncle Chucks death. The reason this whole adventure started was because he had kidnapped Sonic. If he had left Sonic on the Fleetwood, he and his family would 've been safe at home.

How do the crew feel though? Sure they were acting on Shadow 's orders but they took joy in what they did. Does Leven feel guilt for using Tails? Does Grey still think about how he held his sword to Sonic 's neck, even drawing blood from him?

There's another thing about Grey that I'm curious about. In Ch. 19 i think, when Sonic tries to offer himself up to those pirates only for Shadow to warp them to the ship. What was going on in Grey's head? He said some things that stuck out to me.

One being how he knew about Shadow marking Sonic. Did Shadow tell him? I thought it was private. Or did they all just see the mark on Sonic 's neck and connect the dots?

And another thing-something that blew me away!- He actually said it after Sonic told him he just didn't want anyone to get hurt.

"Yer in the den of the scum of the earth and you were worried about others getting hurt?" And " i get your heart was in the right place but don't do that again. They could've done worse besides injure. "

Like Grey is a pirate! He loves being a pirate! He's proud of it! The adventure, the brawling, the swordfighting, sailing with his captain and crew! Shadow even says that Emerald Cove is everyone's favorite destination!

But now he's saying it as a bad thing - which it is, it very much is, but from Grey's pirate standards it's surprising that he says this. Is he including himself as the scum of the earth? Like "Sonic there are very bad people who'd want to hurt you! And I'm really really sorry that I was one of them!!!"

I'm probably overanalyzing and I'm sorry about that but I just wanted to hear your thoughts.
