Rhodes

Had some trouble coming up with Rhodes secondary outfit and decided to google some human versions of knuckles for inspiration and ran into this one beaver92.deviantart.com/art/Kn… i loved it and decided to do somthing similar with his hair, and added more thingys to make it similar to tikara. as for his outfit i was gonna do somthing similar to Senri from anima but couldnt figure out how a Poncho would work in this pose so i just did somthing a bit different. he accessorizes with feathers of Azalea (the Earth Goddess)  Feet are aweful but they always are. Pose referenced from somthing on google.

Like Turbo, Miles, and Tikara, Rhodes originates from when Lori's days was a massive fanfic. Knuckles from the sonic universe like sonic didn't actually impact the story that much but as the friends of Tails they were important enough to me that i replaced them. Rhodes is the replacement for Knuckles although he doesn't entirely look that much like a knuckles gijinka anymore i don't think lol.

Rhodes Is related to Tikara in some way (cousin brother, idk somthing) he too hails from the Sprigatru tribe (information on that here sta.sh/2kb2qqawfyu?edit=1) after failing to bond with a squiggy several times he gave up and left the tribe to make it on his own in chosana. Since then he has become the Elitest of strength having won the title against many other super strengthers, other notable contestants being Chain Navar and Eric Troke. he met and became friends with Turbo a speed elitist, the two formed a team for the guild and went on many missions. at some point after Onicas banishment the duo met an amnesiac Miles Eliana and he impressed them with his intelect he would join their guild team and at some point the three formed the chosanian resistance aiming to reinstate the royal family as the head of the kingdom rather than the military. because Rhodes was one of the only people to respect and perhaps even admire Socrats's pacifistic tendencies she became quite infatuated with him. Rhodes reminds Lori-chan of a teddy bear, being super strong and super deadly but being such a softy. he seems to have body issues as though hes likely incredibly muscular he tends to wear very baggy clothing rather than show off his muscles like most super strengthers. The sprigatru tribe is considered god-touched and according to the locals the Goddess Azalea visited the tribe many times in its early days, and even today her powers protect the tribe and its people. Even now feathers from her wings are found in the Sprigatru forest however finding them is very rare and considered good luck they are sold for large amounts of money. Rhodes has been very lucky and has found 3 feathers in the forest, one from each of his attempts to find and bond with a squiggy.
