Moonside Enquiries: Copper & Brass

by ChristianTheWeasel

An origin story for two of my Sonic OCs, their lives before they moved to their current location, the island of Moonside. Copper is an intelligent tiger, formerly bullied for his appearance and smarts. Brass is a bear, formerly bullied for his sexuality. These two will form a loving bond through many trials and tribulations.

1. Chapter 1

I'm Copper. I'm a 14 year old tiger who moved to Moonside from Metropolis, along with my boyfriend, Brass.

Before I met Brass, my life was a living hell. I began attending Carbonic Middle School when I was 12, when my family moved to Metropolis. I hated it there, and I was hated there.

First off, there was my appearance; due to residing in a highly industrialized area, Scrap Brain Zone to be specific, the keratin in my stripes became infused with copper. Initially, my stripes were changed to brown, but as I got older, they became light green.

Secondly, there was my personality and intelligence. I'm pretty smart, thanks to my parents' strictness. I'm also a notably weak guy overall, because I can't defend myself well and I'm a coward.

These made for a toxic combination. Most of the other kids either ignored me or bullied me constantly. I couldn't go a day without getting my stuff taken, getting shoved into walls, getting beaten up; this became my daily routine.

Eventually, I fell into a serious state of misery and antisociality. My parents noticed the change in me, but I couldn't tell them why; the guys at school threatened to do worse to me if I did. Looking back, I probably should've said something, but I guess it was for the best, because if I had, I probably would've have met Brass...
