Biography[]
Beginnings[]
Memphis "Mephiles" Tennessee was born ten years prior to the series, his original form was dubbed "the purple power", and caused an explosion due to there being too much yellow power (The Grand Slam). As Mephiles is vaping, A time traveling Shadow uses the Chaos Emerald to trap Mephiles inside of the gamer amiibo while Elise's father traps The Grand Slam inside of Elise. Shadow places Mephiles near the unconscious Elise after the accident, all whilst denying her permission to vape.
Release[]
| “ | Hahahaha! Welcome to Tilted Towers. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Memphis Tennessee, and I'm part lizard. Nice to- yoroshiku onegaishimasu, as they say in Nippon. | „ |
| ~ Mephiles' first lines. |
After Shadow and Rouge collect the amiibo, Eggman attacks them in his battle bus and tries to get the amiibo, but it falls out of Rouge's hands and smashes, immobilizing Eggman's robots and releasing Mephiles, who shape-shifts into a crude copy of Shadow. After Shadow allows Mephiles to calm down from his coughing, he introduces himself as Memphis Tennessee and notes that he is part lizard before greeting them in Japanese. Mephiles explains that he is following a new trend called 'kinning', and follows this trend in order to assimilate a purer form of Shadow's body. He proceeds to sniff Shadow before falsifying his future and teleporting them to his house.
Mephiles transports himself to Silver's future where he asks them if they're discussing Fortnite, noting that it's practically his obsession. He brings the two to his home, showing the many knocked over chairs due to his constant rages whilst playing Fortnite, though he describes it as him being "tilted at the towers". Mephiles explains that because he is a gamer, women don't come visit him often, and thus leaves him in the friend-zone, which Silver believes could benefit him. However, Mephiles explains to the hedgehog that being in the friend-zone is essentially the equivalent of psychological manipulation. When Silver responds that he would get respect due to not being a gamer, Mephiles simply calls him a 'beta cuck' before showing him and Blaze the new Fortnite maps and a Chaos Emerald he purchased from eBay for $7 containing Sonic, whom he had imprisoned in the Hell Dimension due to "disrespecting gamers".
Mephiles then teleports the two to the present, and later appears to be fond of Blaze. However, he still despises Silver, although he claims to need him for power due to Silver's constant whines.
Turn to Villainy[]
| “ | You silly, feeble-minded little gay.. I am so far beyond Fortnite! I have moved on! And my startup will end the world! | „ |
| ~ Mephiles' turn to evil. |
Mephiles later appears to Shadow, questioning his opinions on gay rights before luring him to his newly developed Fortnite map, where, if people die in the game, they'll die in real life. He displays a shield made of 17,000 polygons before noticing Sonic (actually Shadow) is inside the shield, reprimanding Shadow as he discovers that whilst Shadow was in love with Mephiles, he thought he and Sonic were the same. Mephiles transforms into his 'Steven Universe crystal gem cosplay' and attacks Shadow before Omega intervenes, leaving in a fit of rage whilst commenting on Shadow's terrible relationships.
Mephiles is later seen getting into a conflict with Omega, although he claims he is too high to pay attention. When Omega calls him a 'diamond accessory', Mephiles berates the robot before being shot and turned into vape juice, vanishing once more.
Mephiles appears again in his Sandopolis base, displaying his new profession as a game developer whilst promoting his 'Patreon' and startup. As Shadow attempts to reason with him, Mephiles reveals his true intentions to destroy the world with his same startup. As he transforms into high-resolution graphics, he melts away and destroys the new amiibo during Shadow's attempt to re-imprison him. Mephiles finally shows his true feelings to Shadow, feeling betrayed by him whilst presenting his clone army and his desire for them all to make love to him. Shadow calls Mephiles out on having no mouths before destroying his clone army.
Defeat[]
After his clones are destroyed, Mephiles collects the corrupted weed gem, whilst commenting on his previous obsession with Shadow, claiming to have moved on. Upon returning to his front lawn, he discovers Sonic and Elise, and fires an energy beam through Sonic's chest by accident. Mephiles finally breaks down in a panic, claiming it was in self-defense. After killing Sonic, Mephiles' sanity is completely lost as he uses the weed and The Grand Slam to transform into Solaris, declaring that he will make everyone his "boyfriend".
However, his efforts ultimately prove to be fruitless, as Super Sonic, Super Shadow and Super Silver all manage to kill him.
Personality[]
Initially, Mephiles begins as more of a harmless annoyance, wishing for approval and attention. He is rather arrogant, and remains so over the course of the plot, constantly berating other characters over minor incidents, including Silver misunderstanding his situation.
Mephiles is also clearly shown to be obsessed with the gaming industry, being a self-proclaimed 'gamer' and game developer, obsessing over video games (especially Fortnite) to the point of fanaticism, and constantly mentioning gaming even in situations that he admits do not actually involve gaming. He also expresses interest in Steven Universe and cosplay. Mephiles is also heavily interested in Shadow; he initially kins Shadow and attempts to transform into him, but this interest quickly turns into romantic infatuation. After Shadow becomes his boyfriend, he becomes extremely envious of any former associates of Shadow, including his ex-boyfriend Sonic.
After fully turning into a villain, Mephiles becomes increasingly cold, cunning, sadistic, psychotic and power hungry, looking to end the world due to being rejected by everyone around him. He also becomes more confident and narcissistic, calling Omega a 'lowly little trash can man' over his incomprehensible string of words. He openly expresses his hatred towards Shadow due to the latter abandoning him.
Although he was incredibly cruel, Mephiles expressed genuine concern when he accidentally killed Sonic, claiming it was in self-defense and being utterly horrified by both his action and the resulting mess, though he instantly goes back to embracing his insanity. He also expressed his dislike towards Shadow letting Elise vape due to her age.
Quotes[]
| “ | Mephiles: Hey, gamers! Were you talking about Fortnite- Nope, I'm not gonna pretend that you were talking about Fortnite. I just like bringing up my favorite game whenever I can!
