After witnessing Dr. Eggman's swift vandalization of Greenflower Mountain right next to her and Mom's house and the arrival of the famous Sonic the Hedgehog & co. on the island during what seemed to be another mundane day, Gemma hops in to follow the Blue Blur (and co.)'s trail with her buddy Blake by her side.

Meet the characters

Gemma the Tarsier-Cat

Real full name: Gemma Lucidya Theresa-Iwaflor
GemmaCSS2025.png

Gemma (pronounced "JEM-ah") is a 14-15 year old ½ Tarsier-½ Cat hybrid and an aspiring adventurer born with powers that lets her control and manipulate earth at her own will.

Ability
XTRAC0.png

srb20957-gif.177778

Tera-riser:
Double jump to drop downwards with enough force to break the floor beneath your feet and ride it upwards. You can jump or spindash off this newly created platform at anytime.
srb20958-gif.177712

Tip: Hitting an enemy or hazard with the rock platform will allow you to perform the move again. Chain multiple together to gain maximum height!
srb20959-gif.177713

Gemma is also Co-op friendly. You can use this ability to take your friends to a lift.

Otherwise, she pretty much plays like your traditional Sonic character. She can perform the classic Spin Jump & as mentioned before, the Spin Dash. Y'know, the usual stuff.

You can configure how Gemma's ability controls using the "gemmastyle" command. I/O support is included.

Hold (gemmastyle 1): Let go of jump while riding the platform to hop off of it.

Triple Jump (gemmastyle 2): Press jump while riding the platform to hop off it.

Blake the Tamaraw
XTRAC0-colors.png

Real full name: Blakenton "Blake" del Boveno Moreno
blakecss_2025-png.177700

Joining Gemma in her quest to chase Sonic's trail is her best friend Blake, who's 15cm shorter and almost half a year older than her. This little V-shaped-horned dwarf buffalo is a whimsy but also awkward kind of boy who ironically happens to possess the power to control shadows, which allows him to summon various shadowy animal forms that destroys foes and obstacles alike. He may not be able to Spin Jump and Spin Dash like his primate-feline hybrid friend can, but his dark power more than makes up for it.

Phantom Dragon & Phantom Eagle:
Double jumping summons a dark shadowy dragon that you can ride upwards, while pressing spin after jumping summons a dark shadowy eagle that you can ride forwards. You can do one after the other, and both Phantom creatures can destroy enemies, spikes and walls, even walls that only the roughest of echidnas can break through.
srb20963-gif.177720

Co-op feature: Up to two other players entangled with Blake can ride the Phantom Dragon when he summons it. After the dragon dissipates, you can still perform your ability(ies) out of the dragon.

srb21118-gif.186128

Phantom Serpent:
Hold spin while grounded to summon a dark shadowy snake you can ride on the ground. Destroying enemies while riding it extends the physical length of the snake by one segment each enemy destroyed (Starts at 4 segments, then maxes out at 9), as well as extend it's time limit by 1 second. Destroying spikes with it also extends it's time limit by seconds, but not the physical length of the snake. The time limit of the snake while holding spin is indicated when the snake starts slowly fading. Once it fades, there's a half-second cooldown before you can summon it again.

srb21120-gif.186129
srb21122-gif.186132

The Phantom Serpent can also break floors, all sorts of breakable walls, and make springs launch you higher than usual.

srb21119-gif.186131

You can also summon the serpent midair after running off ledges.

srb21128-gif.186133

Co-op feature: Two segments of the serpent can carry a player. At maximum length, it can carry up to 4 other players. Carrying players with the Serpent also extends the time limit of the snake by 2 seconds per player.

Like Sonic & Tails, there is a Gemma & Blake option, where you can play both characters together as a team! With these combination moves, you can take on paths and other secrets that Gemma alone can't access!

Dragon Call:
Standing on the same position as the Blake bot will make a "Flight Call" arrow indicator show up. Jumping with this indicator present will make him summon a Phantom Dragon that you can ride with him upward in the air. You can still perform the Tera-riser after the dragon dissipates, to reach maximum height.
Little tip if you have all the Chaos Emeralds: If you want to perform Dragon Call while Gemma is in Super form, try not to jump too high by simply tapping the jump button or just not holding the jump button for too long.

srb21123-gif.186134
srb21124-gif.186135

Serpent Call:
Instead of jumping when the arrow appears, Hold spin to make Blake summon the serpent. If you double jump while on the Serpent, Blake will follow it up with a dragon.

srb21125-gif.186136

Eagle Boost:
Pressing spin while on the Dragon will make Blake summon an Eagle, which will also boost Gemma forwards. She still keeps her jumpstate, so she can still do the Tera-riser.

Gemma has a very simplistic yet amazing moveset showing that a character doesnt need a million moves to be good, Blake is just as good as Gemma having an easy to understand moveset

This might just be my favorite character mod

Happy to see this mod get continuous updates, now with a new character!

Gemma is as great to play as before. There's greatness to find in the simplicity of things, and her moveset is as simple as they get. Her Tera-riser is just a fancier bubble shield, but what makes it work for her is that it also functions as a pseudo triple jump and stomp. Let go of jump, you stomp. Keeping hold jump, you bounce back up, functioning as your double jump. The higher your initial height was before initiating the Tera-riser, the higher your bounce will be. Bouncing on an enemy increases your height greatly. Destroying an enemy while riding the rock platform resets your Tera-riser, allowing for chaining, which I love! Jump off the platform, you get a triple jump. You can spindash while riding the platform, really neat. And that's it, a simple ability with a lot of use cases. Sprite work is amazing! There's so much of Lilac in her and I love it. Smooth animations, badass transformation... Definitely one of my favorite SRB2 OCs! 5/ 5!

Blake, on the other hand... Gotta be honest, like many other people shared, I'm not really feeling this one. He doesn't feel that unique compared to other shadowy characters, like Willo or the recent addition Echoes & Abyss for instance. He plays pretty much like Willo, having a dash, but Willo shines by having his dash be momentum-based. The faster you go, the higher you'll dash up and down, but here it's very stop-and-go and you don't have a downward dash that makes everything flow better. I feel like the slash should break spikes, not just walls, but the dash does tho. I'm not sure if it's just me, but his sprite work feels a lot lower quality compared to Gemma. Still good, but could be better. It seems you went for the "minimal animations" approach, meaning lots of animation and pose reuse. The walking cycle is exactly like Sonic's. His slash is just his forward running pose. Even his design and animations just feels like a combination of Dirk and Whirl. His personality just doesn't really show in his animations. Overall, and I hate to say it, but ehhh Blake's a bit bland at the moment. Shadowy characters have a lot of potential for unique abilities and animations, I feel! They don't always have to be given a dash... 3/ 5.

Cool that Gemma loves short kings tho. Respect lol

fun visuals, boring gameplay. i just don't really get much out of these two, moveset-wise. i wanna have more to say, i wanna like them, because there's so much going on here, i love the idea of there being ringslinger neo and battle support, i just. can't be bothered to play more of the game than i have to with these two.
it might just be with blake, because i've had gemma long enough to not have quite the level of interest with her that i do with other characters when they come out, but on the other hand, vanilla sonic still feels fresh and exhilarating every time i come back to him, knowing his tech, so gemma's moveset is... alright at best

Gemma is pretty much perfect, I genuinely don't see how anybody could have any issues with her.
10/10 American flags, God bless, amazing sprites btw love it

My issues come with Blake. No offense, it just doesn't feel original, this is the 3rd shadowey spirit character that we got and its moveset just feels kind of boring to me. I feel as though a lot of effort was put into this though, and I'm not trying to come off as rude I just don't like the character.

8/10 American Flags, God bless

Iwaflorchars (I hope I'm spelling that right) is very well made. I kinda prefer playing Gemma though, for reasons I will soon bring up.

Gemma: Pros Great character design Geokineses is pretty unique, as I haven't seen other characters who have this ability. She actually has a spindash soooo, that's great. No cons.

Blake: Pros Again, good character design. Just a dislike it a tad bit. Cool shadow powers. Cons I've seen three goats in SRB2 mods, and it's getting repetitive. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just getting boring. While I like the shadow abilities, I've seen other characters (Echoes, Willo) who have does as well. He seems a bit rushed. He has a lot less than what Gemma has. No spindash. I just REALLY like the ability, and now it isn't here.
4/5 I just think that Blake needs a little more love. He has a lot of potential that has been missed here. Great job!

Blake is my first ever time designing a "No-Spin" character, so I can feel people who think his moveset right now is a little lacking.

I had a few peeps during development suggesting a few cool ideas for a moveset revamp/partial redo (not a full redo), but I rather save all that for a future update.

It is an amazing character to play as and an awesome design too! My one question is if you can make the rock larger with commands? I don't mean with scale since I definitely would like to carry more people with the rock at once in a small environment! If there isn't that's alright! It's an awesome mod!!!

a character that can earthbend?, for me that's enough to consider this the best mod, and also, the plataform working in coop will be cool since i'm trying to invite some friends that have never played a sonic game before to play together, this can help them thanks :)
