Talk:SFC WHAT-NOTS 53: MOST DRASTIC CHARACTER CHANGES/@comment-5083182-20190819160046

Back when I first created my character Blade Eastwood, he was the son of Tails and Zooey from the Sonic Boom tv show, but when Tails got together with Cosmo, Blade became the son of Dave Monteiro, with Zooey still being his mother. Due to this, Blade lost one of the two tails he inherited from Tails and lost his ability to fly with his tails, and was also no longer a potential Freedom Fighter, since Tails was no longer his father. This made Blade depressed, and together with his little stepbrother Liam, he traveled back in time to kill Cosmo so that Tails would get together with Zooey again and Blade wouldn't lose his second tail and his potential Freedom Fighter career. This failed, however, and Blade became emotionally distressed. However, after a conversation with Liam and a friendly bartender, he decided to try and become a hero in a different way, which he eventually did.

Later on, during a roleplay I did with Joshua the Hedgehog, he pointed out how this plot wasn't accurate to the Archie timeline, since my lore crossed over into Joshua's lore, and since Joshua's lore largely followed the Archie timeline, and because the original backstory didn't make sense, I had to retcon Blade's history, which I did.

After this retcon, I made it that Blade was no longer Tails' son, and Dave was now Blade's biological father. In this retconned backstory, Blade was inspired to become a Freedom Fighter after seeing the Future Freedom Fighters (from Archie's M:XYL saga) out on a mission during a family trip out to Angel Island. Blade trained himself to become a Freedom Fighter, but he was turned down after Jacques D'Coollette sensed a large amount of fear in him. As with the original backstory, this caused Blade to become depressed, and he vowed to get revenge on Jacques, and together with Liam, he traveled back to the year 3236 to kill Jacques' mother Bunnie and prevent Jacques' birth so he won't cause Blade to be turned down for the Future Freedom Fighters. This fails and Blade once again became emotionally distressed. But after the same conversation with Liam and that friendly bartender, he decided to try and become a hero in a different way, which he once again eventually did.

That's about the most drastic character change I could think of.
