In a galaxy full of aliens, threats abound from all the deepest reaches of space. In response, warriors must arise to face these challenges, working under the United Multiplanetary Defense Confederation to protect the people of the universe. Trainee Captain Helios and his squad are hellbent on being the galaxy’s next great heroes, studying at the Royal Meridian defense academy as they work towards their goal of being the top squad by graduation in 3 years. Will Squad 5 outpace their competition and come out on top? Or, perhaps, will a new enemy arise that’ll threaten organic life as they know it?
Delta5 is Mechamation Studio's debut project, and has been in the works since 2021. This project is by artists, for artists; No matter where you are in your journey, whether this is your 1st time joining a studio or your 40th, we'd love to see what you've got! We are actively working to fund our pilot, with a kickstarter going up in a few short months alongside a teaser trailer. Our main 5 characters have voice actors, we've got soundtracks in the works, our SFX team is ready to go, and our character designs are finalized. All we need now are a few more voices, some animators, some background artists, and some publicity!
Delta5 is an animated series made for a 16+ audience. The show is not 18+; there are no explicit scenes, nor will there be excessive swearing. While there is minor gore/body horror, it is not a prominent aspect of the show and will not appear frequently (we find excessive gore undermines its impact).
The Plan
We've got a plot, 3 planned seasons of 15 episodes (aside from the pilot/episode 0), pilot models, the whole 9 yards; we're ready to get this thing up and running! We're working on dropping a teaser trailer alongside a Kickstarter very soon, so the need for animators and artists is urgent!
Future Payment
We are currently in the process of getting our Kickstarter up to fund our pilot, but until we are able to meet our goal, pre-pilot work (such as short voiceovers for social media content or promotions) will be unpaid. All work completed on the pilot will be paid.
Hi!
Apologies for the lack of updates and correspondence, Miss Mecha apparently got herself locked out of this account by forgetting the login (because of course she did 🤦♀️).
For those curious, the project is still in production and has not been scrapped or put on any hiatus! If you are interested in receiving more regular updates (and are 16+), feel free to join the public server!

IMPORTANT NOTE
This character rarely speaks English. Kenopsia almost exclusively speaks in the fictional language of Andromydian. The sample lines provided are examples of the rare instances in which she speaks English; she speaks with a Greek-adjacent accent, with heavily broken English.
BACKGROUND
Kenopsia's planet has been torn in two; literally. The ones who did the damage never bothered to fix their mistakes, instead opting to erase the planet's existence from the public knowledge entirely. Alone on a broken shard of her home, Kenopsia had been by herself for over 200 years, until an unfortunate human man accidentally crashed way off course and onto her little slice of the universe. After having a son with her human lover, Theo Aetos, Kenopsia raised their child for the first 12 years of his life before allowing him to work with his father on their family cargo ship.
Kenopsia's wise and elegant appearance betrays her sweet, naive nature, traits partly due to her extended period of isolation. Regardless, she loves her son and Theo, and although she is bound to her planet, she tries her best to support them from her place on her shard.

"Bad mother? Me? I only drop the boy, maybe, twice-? Builds character!"
"Precious! So pretty! Ohh, you... my son, he likes you, yes? So pretty! I love!!"
"Please, come back to me. I still need you."
Background
Hara is one of the main cast's professors at the academy. Hara, an Ionite/Human halfling, is a retired captain by choice rather than injury. She is incredibly stern and strict, and speaks with authority on most matters of the academy. Hara can come across as incredibly intimidating, both to her students and to her peers. Hara has a somewhat deeper voice.

“Have you lost your damn mind?! There is no way we could possibly condense their training for two years into one without any notice, you’re guaranteeing they graduate unprepared!”
“... Connor, what the hell is that?”
“The UMDC isn’t the place for dreams, kid.”
Background
Orchid is Squad 7’s bubbly, friendly and optimistic first officer. She works hard to make her team happy, and loves planning outings and team bonding events. Orchid is a chatterbox that hardly knows how to keep quiet. Orchid’s tail has a stinger at the end that carries a toxin capable of temporary paralysis in most species.

"The secret to keeping your team happy is gold stars. Trust me, m'kay? Works like a charm."
"Ohh, my gosh, I'm so sorry, I totally stung you, didn't I-? Okay, okay, don't- don't freak out, it's just temporary paralysis, the venom- venom? Poison? Whatever- it'll wear off in, like, a few hours, just- just take it easy for a while and, um... please don't sue me."
"-so, like, I told him, 'hey, wouldn't a pizza party be a great team bonding exercise?', and he, like, totally agreed with me! So, I don't get why he got so mad when the pizza arrived, y'know? He said something about 42 being too many for 5 people, but, I'm just making sure everyone gets enough!"
Background
For a medic, Haevera is just about the least nurturing person you'll ever meet. Haevera serves as Squad 1's resident trainee medic. Her bedside care is atrocious, and she’s not especially comforting to have as a caretaker. Nonetheless, she is an excellent medic on a technical level, and outside of her duties as a medic she is fun-loving and high energy. She gets a kick out of irritating those around her, just for the hell of it. Some twisted form of psychological experiment, one could argue.

"Please, you think he'll notice if he wakes up with one less kidney? Try and feel your kidneys. You can't. Neither can he. Anyways, I need it more, he'll be fine."
"Would you just hold still!? I haven't even cut through the dermis yet! You want anesthesia so bad, you pay for it, then, because that shit is expensive!"
"Who, Mikey? Ohh, man, he's so... dreamy... I bet his spleen's in great condition... what a man."
This character only has 1 line as of the pilot, but will gain screentime in the series proper.
BACKGROUND
Professor Arvi is a history nerd and linguistics fan, with an interest in cultural studies. He is soft-spoken and approachable, though he has no trouble putting his foot down when provoked. He is sharp-witted and can be clever with his insults. Arvi was discharged from the UMDC after suffering a spinal injury that still occasionally causes him pain.

"... Man, what'd I even do-?"
"Laundry duty, every damn day, always the same thing, and it's never clean enough. 'Arvi, why are my whites suddenly pink?'. Thought she liked pink..."
"Well, I thought teaching college-aged students would be more like teaching my peers, but apparently, I'm just babysitting grown ass adults. So, yeah, I think I want to devote a portion of the program's budget to colouring books."
