Shadow: Cosmic Protector (Audio Drama) 2

Supporting role. Leader of Team Dark, lover to Knuckles, and one of Shadow's closest confidants. It's quite difficult to tell what Rouge's goals are from first glance as she ranges from being quite devious to sometimes being genuinely caring. Rouge is quite the kleptomaniac at times as she often uses her wits and charms to quickly steal various items and treasures from people, more notably the Master Emerald from Knuckles. Ironically enough, the two seem to be hitting it off just fine, though there is some playful banter between the two every now and then. Despite her usual seductive and sly nature, she does have a caring side towards those she's close to. To Shadow, Rouge is almost like a sister figure to him, always seeming to check up on him whenever something felt off. Ever since his resignation from GUN, the concern seemed to grow even more. Even after it felt like Shadow had himself figured out, a gut feeling still lingered. Was something else wrong with Shadow? Or perhaps there's something else she didn't completely understand from him?

Notes:

- Personal voice claim is mostly Kazumi Evans but I wouldn't mind a slight bit of Kathleen Delaney (use for voice reference if possible)

- She is around 18 years old, if not a little older considering her experience in G.U.N.

Supporting role. A vital member of Team Chaotix, Espio is known to be the more level-headed one out of the trio. Skilled in the art of Ninjutsu and stealth in general, he's rather cautious and disciplined, serving as a nice calm contrast to his incredibly energetic companions at times. As a detective in the Chaotix Detective Agency, he takes his job rather seriously. However, despite this, he does have a rather light-hearted side to him while off the clock. Although he does get rather flustered or act irrationally when teased or bothered (mostly by Charmy). While on vacation with everyone to Spring-Point, however, he does eventually attain a liking to someone outside of Sonic and the group. Delphine, Eden's older sister, who shares in his vigilance as they both try to uncover what's been going on behind the scenes while everyone is enjoying themselves. 

Notes:

- Personal voice claim is Matthew Mercer or Troy Baker (Please use as voice reference)

- He is around 16-17 years old

- Espio is mostly soft-spoken/calm when talking unless tone says otherwise.

Minor role. As the head of Team Chaotix, Vector takes his job rather seriously as both leader and detective. He's a little rough around the edges as he tends to have quite the aggressive attitude at times. But despite his rough exterior, he has a kind heart and values his team and helping others more than anything. Even though his mind may be on the money sometimes, he never forgets what truly matters and is always willing to lend a helping hand, especially when it comes to Vanillia, Cream's mother. He's also rather close with his team as well since he has a bit of a familial bond with them, especially with Charmy as they both tend to bother each other a lot, leaving Espio having to deal with their antics. But in the end, Vector never gives up on anybody.

Notes:

-Personal voice claim is a mix of Marc Biagi and Keith Silverstein's voice for Vector (Please use as voice reference)

- He's around 20 years old, making him the oldest member.

Minor role. Third and youngest member of Team Chaotix, Charmy tends to be the more hyperactive one of the group, meaning he takes his job less seriously compared to Vector and Espio. Although he means well, he can be quite playful and mischievous at times, especially when it comes to poking fun at the other two members of his team, especially Vector, though his routine would change up a bit after Espio encounters Delphine. Despite this, however, he's generally a nice kid, though he can be a little too energetic at times. Although it's best not to provoke him as he does pack a pretty painful sting if pushed to his limits.

Notes:

- Personal voiceclaim is a mix of Amy Birnbaum's voice and Colleen O'Shaughnessey's voice. (Please use as voice reference)

- He's 6 years old so he has quite a bit of immaturity to him.

Minor role. Cream is a member of Team Rose, one of Amy's friends and one of the youngest members of the group accompanying Sonic on vacation along with her chao, Cheese. She's a rather polite and kind young girl as she tries her best to be nice to everyone she meets, but at the same time tries to avoid conflict at all costs. After being entrusted with Sonic and the others to watch over her on vacation, she takes this opportunity to get to know everyone better, and perhaps make more friends along the way!

Notes:

-Personal voiceclaim is a mix of/either Michelle Ruff's voice for her in Sonic Generations, and/or Poonam Basu's voice for Klee from Genshin Impact. (use for voice reference if possible)

- She is around 6 years old, same as Charmy.

Minor role. "Rookie", also known as Gadget, is one of Sonic's newest companions since the "The War to take back the Planet". Though they were initially rather skittish and hesitant on the battle field, with Sonic and his friends by his side, Gadget felt like he could truly be a part of the group, a hero even. Gadget has a very light-hearted yet dorky personality to them as there would be times where he would accidentally make the situation awkward and get quite embarrassed by it. Despite this, they have a determined heart and a brave soul that never backs down from a fight when needed. He was initially supposed to be a part of the vacation trip that Sonic and the others had planned, however, nobody would hear back from him. It's almost like he had gone missing somehow...

Notes:

- Personal voice claim for them is Robbie Daymond's voice for Goro Akechi from Persona 5 (More specifically when he's more calm). But if you'd like to go for a more androgynous take, by all means go right ahead! ^^

- He's around 14-17 years old

- They go by He/They/She pronouns

Supporting role. A hedgehog with a strong dedication to her job. Assistant Mayor Alicia Valentine is more stern and no-nonsense in comparison to the more cheerful and optimistic Mayor Springs. As his closest confidant and friend, she is usually seen with Springs at all times, though with some exceptions as she does respect his privacy and personal life. She takes her job rather seriously as the Assistant Mayor, though at times she also acts as a personal body guard for him despite that not being a part of her protocol. She acts rather cold towards many people, however, she does exhibit a softer side around the Mayor himself when nobody else is around. It's as a lot of people say in Spring-Point when the two are nearby, "There's no Springs without Valentine".

Notes:

- Personal voice claim is Elizabeth Maxwell, specifically her voice work for Sae Niijima from Persona 5 (use for voice reference if possible)

- She is in her mid-twenties.

Go wild with the voices, though try not to be over the top as they're just random civilians. Multiple people will be "chosen" for this so I won't be directly choosing one person for all the roles, instead I'll message you in CCC Direct Messages if you got the part.

I do need a few more female-sounding roles for this though, so please, if you're able to, lend in some of your voices for this.

Minor role. Eden's first technical friend, though sadly it won't last long considering the situation he was put in. Calico is a rather shy yet amicable individual. Despite his affiliations with his cousins, he's considered as a generally nice boy. However, he tends to be susceptible to peer pressure, mostly from his cousins as he's often used to take advantage of Eden's kindness despite his objections to do so. One can only pray that he ends up alright in the end.

Notes:

- Personal voice claim is Sean Chiplock's voice for Yuki Mishima from Persona 5

- He is around 14-15 years old

- He has the tendency to stutter during tense situations.

1st Pronunciation: (Kah-tree-nah)
2nd Pronunciation: (Kah-lih-sah)

Surname Pronunciation: (Bow-regard)

Minor roles. The twin cousins of Calico. Unfortunately though, they're not as nice as him. After half of Spring-Point nearly got destroyed by Eden's honest mistake, despite most of the town's forgiveness towards the girl and her family, the Beauregard twins weren't so lenient. Their home? Covered in rubble. And their family's business? Bankrupt. Intent on salvaging whatever they had left of their dignity, they decided that the best way to do so is by sullying the Amaranths first, starting with their youngest daughter.

Notes:

- No specific voice claim for them, though imagine your average teenage girl and you should get it (don't make it stereotypical, just act natural).
- Both girls have the same voice, though Catryna has a slightly deeper tone than Callisa.

- Both are around 14-15 years old

Supporting role. Shadow's first roommate and owner/first resident of their humble abode. A sentient cat-like rag doll who has the tendency of being a bit of a pyromaniac (thankfully, most, if not all, things within their house is fire-proof). Out of everyone who lives with Shadow, Rags has the most chaotic energy of the bunch, often yelling about silly nonsense and occasionally pulling a few "harmless" pranks around the house. So as long as he has that infinite pouch wrapped around him, his chaos never ends. However, despite his mischievous nature, Rags does secretly care for the rest of his roommates. Though he does have a bizarre way of showing his affection... Rather explosively of course.

Notes:

-Personal voice claim is mostly Steve Buscemi's voice and tone but with the chaotic energy of Garlic Bread Goblin (use for voice reference if possible)

- Rags is a rather loud character so I hope you're able to handle some occasional screaming here and there.

- It's difficult to gauge the specific age I'm going for with Rags, since he's a doll, but I'll say he sounds a little over 20 years old if not older.

Supporting role. Shadow's second roommate, this version of Nazo is quite different from the original Nazo everyone is familiar with. His origins are similar to the original, though his abilities are mostly nerfed and, despite his durability, is physically scarred from his encounters with Dr. Robotnik. However, Nazo is treated as a gentle giant and is much more calm and patient than the OG counterpart. He serves as the "voice of reason" among Shadow and the rest of his roommates, seeing as how he's considered the "oldest" among them all (Rags is technically the oldest but his immaturity says otherwise). Despite his caring nature though, Nazo's appearance can still seem intimidating to others that meet him for the first time. With his physical scars and incredibly tall stature, it kind of makes sense as to why people have a reason to worry. 

Notes:

- Personal voice claim is either/a mix of Omahdon's voice of the original Nazo and/or Travis Willingham's voice for Perfect Cell (Keep in mind this is just for how I imagine him sounding like in terms of voice, not tone. Use for voice reference if possible).

- I imagine him being around his early 20's considering his general demeanor.

- He is much more "chill" sounding but still retains a slightly strict tone like that of a parent or guardian.. If that makes sense?

Pronunciation: (Tell-ee-ohs)

Supporting role. Shadow's third roommate, and probably one with the most mysterious background out of everyone in the house. Shadow found her one day and decided to take her in as one of his roommates, feeling slight pity for her as she somewhat reminded him of himself. However, questions would begin popping up in everyone's minds upon finding her "Hall of heads" (Which is essentially a secluded room with the decapitated heads of various Sonics from different timelines). Despite this, Telios is mostly indifferent about everything, always keeping a monotone yet aggressive tone when talking to people. But at least she doesn't seem to bother anybody so as long as nobody provokes her.

Notes:

- No specific voice claim in mind, though she is mostly described as being rather monotone and (passive) aggressive most of the time. In general, she just has a really tired, annoyed and rough voice.

- She is around 15-16 years old, being one of two people who are around Shadow's age in the house.

Supporting role. The last one of Shadow's various roommates, a robotic mobian who has a knack for inventing and a lack of social skills to say the least. Formerly organic, Zero's life was saved and has his soul contained inside a crystal which allowed him to live again, though in a more robotic body. He doesn't talk much to anyone, let alone his own roommates, as he tends to focus on his work a lot. But when he does he tends to act rather awkwardly unless he's asked to do something, mainly for Nazo or Shadow. Though in the end, he works as a way of repaying them for allowing him to stick around, showing his more caring side in a way.

Notes:

-Personal voice claim is Taylor Gray’s voice for Ezra Bridger in Star Wars Rebels. (Please use as voice reference if possible)

-There will be a robotic filter added onto the voicelines to better fit the character. If you're comfortable with your voicelines being altered slightly, or, if you prefer to add the filter yourself, please let me know.

- He is around his mid-teens so he should be around Shadow's age if not a little younger.

Minor role. Known for his desire to defeat Sonic and take over the world multiple times, Dr. Ivo Robotnik would surprisingly not be one of the main villains this time. Despite his egotistical and self-proclaimed genius nature, Eggman would go into hiding for quite some time, leaving Sonic and the rest of Mobius free from his tyranny since "The War to take back the Planet". However, he wouldn't be hiding because he was forming a new plan, but rather... Out of fear? Strange, even for the infamous Eggman. Although, ever since his first encounter with Zirakos, he hasn't stepped out of his lab for months, though his Badniks would still roam about. It's only a matter of if and when he'll finally get out and do something...

Notes:

- Voice claim is Mike Pollock (of course)

- There will be moments where he does have to yell but, for the most part, he's strangely more quiet considering he has to keep it on the down low.

Supporting Role. Formerly known as Mephiles the Dark, one of two halves of the now deceased Sun God, Solaris, he is one of Shadow's previous adversaries that Zirakos has brought back from the dead. After the 06 timeline had been erased, everyone who was involved has no memory of the events that occurred aside from Elise, Sonic, and Shadow. However, after Zirakos had gained forbidden knowledge of this fallen timeline, he decided to take matters into his own hands and revive at least one thing that could put a stop to Shadow. No longer being tied to Solaris, he is much weaker than before and is reduced to being a mere Mobian upon resurrection, much to his mild annoyance (He eventually regains his abilities as time goes on, which will be similar to when he was still "Mephiles the Dark" though altered a bit thanks to Zirakos' influence.) However, after being told by Zirakos that they both share similar ideals, he accepts to work with him on the condition that he will be the one to torment Shadow first.  You can only imagine how Shadow will react upon encountering a blast from the past that only he and two others can remember.

Notes:

- Voice claim is, of course, Dan Green, please use for reference.

- He speaks in a rather sinister and malevolent tone, similarly to Zirakos, though he has a ever so slightly mocking tone to it.

- Because he originated from an immortal being, his age isn't very easy to gauge. But he physically and sounds like an adult.

Supporting Role. Zero, formerly known as Infinite, and once leader to the the Jackal Squad, is another one of Shadows previous adversaries that Zirakos has brought back from the dead. After his defeat and death in "The War to take back the Planet", Infinite was left with many regrets, especially after all of his efforts to avenge his squad had been for nothing. But after he found himself resurrected by Zirakos, he realizes that he has a second chance, but he would no longer have the Phantom Ruby with him as it was the result of his demise and was now destroyed. However, he was promised to be given an even greater power by Zirakos seeing as how he was able to bring him back to life. He would happily accept the offer, as he was willing to finally get his revenge on Shadow. Although over time, he starts to question his allegiance to this creature and what it could mean for the entire world, especially after realizing what happened to a certain rookie he once knew.

Notes:

- Voice claim is Liam O'Brian of course, use as voice reference if possible

- Not sure how old he is, but my guess is around late-teens to early 20's.

- Infinite does have a certain effect to his voice when he has his helmet on. If you're comfortable with your voicelines being altered slightly, or, if you prefer to add the filter yourself, please let me know.

Supporting Role. An ancient being of anarchy and entropy that serves as Zirakos' right hand man. He goes by many names and many titles just like his master, though unlike the Lord of Calamity, just by attempting to speak his true name will drive people to the point of madness. So, for simplicity, he's named "Sparky". Sparky is very jester-like in which he is very mischievous and likes to mess with the minds of people he torments or chooses to annoy without consequence. He is also able to shapeshift and possess people to an extent (Hence why he chose Gadget as his victim). He can see deep into people's insecurities, weaknesses and greatest fears, often using it against them by means of mockery and manipulation. He seeks nothing more than to cause chaos and conflict, entertained by the idea of slowly breaking people's morale and seeing them mentally suffer as he watches Zirakos finish them off in the end.

Notes:

- Personal Headcanon voice is a mix of Patrick Pedraza's voice for Scaramouche in Genshin Impact and Robbie Daymond's voice for Goro Akechi from Persona 5 (Please use as voice reference)

- He is very snarky and condescending in tone most of the time as he feels a sense of superiority over others.

- Similar to Zirakos, he has no definitive age, though most of the time he's either in his late-teens to early 20's.

Pronunciation: (Zih-rah-kohs) or (Zee-rah-Kohs)

The main antagonist of Season 1. A being of unknown origin, Zirakos strikes fear into those who stand at his presence. Once a trusted ally to Erytheia and the Daughters of Edonius, and now an overlord of darkness who wishes nothing more but the destruction of various worlds and timelines for the sake of rebuilding the cosmos into his own vision. He is nothing short of unrelenting, manipulative, and cunning, stopping at absolutely nothing in order to get his way. But first, he needs to take down Erytheia's champion, Shadow, the one she chose to defeat him and save the Cosmos from his destructive power.

Notes: 

- Personal voice claim is a mix between Graham McTavish's voice for Dracula from Castlevania, and Ramon Tikaram's voice for Ramattra from Overwatch.

- There will be brief moments where he speaks in Latin so if you're not comfortable speaking in another language let me know.

- Current age is unknown as he's stopped aging for years. However, he looks and sounds like someone in his mid to late thirties.

- Slightly rolling the "r" in his name is optional but heavily recommended.

Pronunciation: (Eh-rih-thee-ah)

Supporting role. Erytheia, the inter-dimensional deity of life and nature, Creator Goddess of Edonius, and Guardian of the Daughters of Edonius bloodline (the bloodline that Camellia, Delphine, and Eden all hail from). She serves as a guide for Shadow, preparing and training him for his eventual confrontation with the Lord of Calamity himself, Zirakos. She appears mostly as a being of light in Shadow's mindscape, initially speaking backwards or in riddles when first encountered. She's a benevolent goddess who seeks to protect those who cannot protect themselves, though unfortunately, the laws of the Cosmos prevents her from enacting full Divine Intervention, especially since Zirakos has her physical form bound to the ruins of Edonius. Thus she is only able to communicate through dreams and the mindscape, which allowed for her to choose Shadow as her Champion to defeat Zirakos before the Cosmos is doomed to his destruction. Shadow still questions why she had chosen him for this purpose, but I suppose answers will come soon...

Notes:

- Personal voiceclaim is Marcella Lentz-Pope's voice for Lamb/Kindred in League of Legends.

- She is very soft-spoken and cryptic in speech at first, but her tone lightens up as time goes on as she has a guiding yet cautious mother-like tone to her.

- She often speaks with an echo/reverb so as to add to her ethereal sounding voice. If you're comfortable with your voicelines being altered slightly, or, if you prefer to add the filter yourself, please let me know.

Minor role. Camellia is the late mother to Eden and Delphine and late wife of Derek Amaranth. A strong, courageous, yet kind and caring woman who put the needs of others before her own. Nobody knows where she truly came from, but ever since her arrival in Spring-Point, her contributions to the town helped make it flourish. After succumbing to a deadly illness, her death would leave a lasting scar upon her family. Even after 4 years, Derek and Delphine still grieve her death. Eden especially as she wishes she had more time to spend with her mother before she had passed. However, it appears she would be the only one left in the dark about her mother's past and origins, though Delphine currently still has yet to reveal it to her.

She will mostly appear throughout the series in either flashback/remnants of the past and as a visiting spirit.

Notes:

- No particular voice claim in mind, though perhaps either Phillipa Soo or Susan Egan would be what I imagine her voice sounding like, at least in terms of tone(?)

- She does tend to hum and sing some melodies here and there so if you have a good singing voice please let me know.
