Is Infinite the Anti-Tikal?

[Multikaris]

I see that Infinite actually has some surprising and strange resemblance to Tikal. Both of them were mortal mobians, transmogrified into spiritual entities bound to jewels. They both seem to be pictures of physical beauty, forever young as they serve their gem. They contrast in many ways.

 

1. Tikal’s transformation was out of necessity and magical, for the greater good. Infinite was changed via gruesome science which he did not know the full ghist of, and for a frivolous and wicked purpose.

2. Both of them have had horrid pasts of violence. Tikal keeps it out of her head except when she needs to. Infinite makes this violence define his life and personality, which leads us to my third point.

3. Tikal was a princess among her people and hated violence and conquest. Infinite was a powerful warrior who lived 100% by the sword.  

4. Tikal aids the good, but for her own ends to an extent. Infinite is a willing and proud servant of evil forces. 

5. Tikal returned to her gem home in triumph of what she did for Chaos, while Infinite was sent packing in defeat. Tikal has since seemed to be a stay at home mom (which is why some fans believe she’s truly gone), while it seems Infinite wants revenge, claiming he can still fight.

6. Tikal wears a beautiful skirt and headband, Infinite is clad in a gruesome mask. Underneath the gruesome mask lay a scar, unlike Tikal’s pristine beauty. Tikal’s color scheme includes a little bit of white and a little bit of blue, Infinite has red and a lot of black. While Tikal is vibrant, Infinite is dreary and black. 

7. Tikal is one to take people into her illusions to teach them and meet them on a personal level. Infinite pulls things out of illusion and mutates things into comical shapes to destroy and assault from afar.

8. Tikal prefers to appear as an orb, and rarely floats as herself.  Infinite loves to ominously float, and is rarely seen as a spirit ball.

9. Infinite looks very corpse-like in mannerisms at times. Tikal is quite lively and subtle.

10. Infinite’s gem is large and borne on his chest, while Tikal has small jewelery. Infinite’s wispy hair contrasts Tikal’s neat dreadlocks. 

11. Infinite is an infamous edgelord, while Tikal is sweet and gentle despite her past.

12. Tikal took hatefulness head-on, while Infinite buckled when he was called weak.

Thoughts?

 

And the HBH might be parallels to Chaos.

Huh, interesting theory. 

[Vec]

Or maybe...Tikal is the Anti-Infinite?

 

The answer after these commercials

...I'm not entirely certain of where you're deriving some of your evidence about Infinite from.  This might be better left until we get the final Forces prequel comic and the Shadow DLC, which should shed a little more light on the character.

We have no idea of that

Infinite could legit just be created by the jewel and that's it

[Auroxen]

Interesting idea.

I don't think it's actually gonna be reflected in any form in the game/DLC or anything but it's still a cool interpretation

12. Tikal became a playable character in the sequel. Infinite...

But yeah, interesting thought process so far. Tough not sure where Infinite's backstory comes from. Your theories seem way too interesting to be true.

I like this theorie... but I doubt the current Sonic Team even remember who Tikal is.
