Sonic: Velox 3D Animated Fan Series – Wave 2 Casting
Project Overview
Step into the world of Sonic: Velox, a brand-new 3D animated fan series set in a gripping Cyberpunk Alternate Universe. The year is 2342, and the world is a neon-lit shadow of its former self, dominated by the powerful METIS Corporation.
For generations, the Velox were considered nothing more than legend. Ancient speedsters whose extraordinary abilities were thought to have vanished centuries ago. But the legends were wrong. More are beginning to surface, and their existence is becoming impossible to ignore in a future built on control, surveillance, and rewritten history.
This is Wave 2 casting, expanding the world of Sonic: Velox with new characters, deeper conflicts, and additional roles as the story grows. Whether you are returning from Wave 1 or joining for the first time, this is your chance to be part of a living project where every performance shapes the tone of the series.
Sonic: Velox blends high-stakes adventure, intense character drama, and a world where speed, strategy, and survival collide. This Wave 2 expansion introduces new perspectives and deeper layers to an already unfolding conflict, where nothing is quite what it seems and the past is never truly gone.
No Generative AI has been and will be used in the making of this project. This is a fully hand-animated production created in Blender.

Mephiles is an ancient entity born from the darkness left behind when Velox was sealed away. Unlike others who seek power through force, Mephiles manipulates through truth, half-truths, and carefully placed lies. He studies people, finds their deepest fears and desires, and slowly guides them toward the choices he wants them to make. He rarely raises his voice because he never has to. He is always in control, always calculating, and always several steps ahead.
His voice should feel calm, smooth, and unsettling, with a mature tone that carries quiet confidence. He should never sound theatrical or like a stereotypical villain. Instead, he speaks with patience and certainty, as though every word has been carefully chosen. Even when threatening someone, he remains composed. There should always be the sense that he knows something others do not.
Performance notes
Deliver lines with calm precision rather than anger.
Let subtle amusement and confidence slip through at key moments.
Manipulate through persuasion instead of intimidation.
Create tension with restraint, allowing silence and pacing to carry weight.
Sound intelligent, ancient, and emotionally detached, but capable of becoming quietly intense when revealing hidden truths.

Think of Mephiles from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), but with a more grounded and psychological approach. His performance should lean into quiet manipulation over overt menace. Actors should bring their own interpretation while preserving his calculating, mysterious, and deeply unsettling presence.
"Call me Mephiles, Someone who knows that your future is dead."
"Fighting back is futile... I’m here to help you."
"I can show you the cause, The reason this time is destroyed. You can change it."
Rouge is a world-class spy and master thief who works in the shadows, gathering information as often as she steals treasures. Intelligent, observant, and endlessly confident, she is rarely caught off guard. She enjoys keeping others guessing, often masking her true intentions behind charm, humor, or playful teasing. While she can appear self-serving, Rouge has a strong sense of loyalty to the people she genuinely cares about and knows when to put the mission before herself.
Her voice should sound confident, smooth, and effortlessly charismatic, with the maturity of a woman in her late twenties to thirties. She should be able to shift naturally between flirtatious banter, and serious professionalism. Even in dangerous situations, she remains composed and in control. She never sounds ditzy or exaggerated. Her confidence comes from experience, not arrogance.
Performance notes
Balance playful charm with genuine intelligence.
Deliver dialogue with natural confidence and subtle wit.
Stay calm and collected, even under pressure.
Let moments of sincerity show when interacting with trusted allies.
Avoid sounding overly seductive or cartoonish. Keep the performance grounded and authentic.

Think of Karen Strassman' or Kazumi Evans' portrayals of Rouge the Bat while emphasizing her role as a skilled intelligence operative and confident adventurer. Actors should bring their own interpretation while preserving her charm, intelligence, and composed personality.
"Relax. If I wanted to stop you, you would've never known I was here. I'm just... curious what all this fuss is about."
"Now that's interesting... I've stolen gems from every corner of the world, but I've never felt anything like this. Whatever you are... you're definitely worth the trouble."
"Don’t you want to save your Blue friend? Then move. I know where Wolf is headed! I can get you there faster than anyone else… show me how to find gems like the ones you’re carrying. The kind that don’t just shine…"
E-123 Omega is a heavily armed combat robot created by G.U.N. and sealed away in an ancient underground bunker that has been abandoned for years. Rouge discovers him during a covert search for powerful energy sources tied to Velox relics. When activated, Omega is still functional but unstable, with corrupted targeting data and fragmented mission directives.
Omega’s original purpose was total combat superiority and enemy elimination, but without clear command structure, he operates on broken priority lists and outdated threat assessments. He does not understand the current world order, only what he was built to recognize as hostile. Rouge does not control him in the traditional sense. Instead, she negotiates temporary cooperation by feeding him targets or aligning goals.
Over time, Omega begins to recognize Rouge as a temporary operator rather than a commander. He follows her instructions only when they do not conflict with his internal directives. He is not loyal in an emotional sense. He is functional, conditional, and extremely dangerous when his systems interpret something as a threat.
His voice should be deep, metallic, and heavily processed. It should feel like a machine speaking with full certainty. Emotion is extremely limited. When stress or system corruption occurs, his voice may distort slightly, but he should never sound expressive in a human way.
Performance Notes
Speak in a cold, direct, mechanical tone
Every line should feel like a system report or combat readout
Do not add emotional warmth or personality flair
Increase intensity through volume and force, not emotion
When corrupted or uncertain, use glitching pauses or broken phrasing
Treat Rouge as a temporary asset rather than a friend or master

Think of E-123 Omega from the Shadow X Sonic Generations. The performance should feel grounded, like a military-grade machine that has been left active far beyond its intended lifespan. It is powerful, precise, and unsettling because of how little humanity is present.
"System online. G.U.N. identification failed. Facility status unknown. Scanning environment for hostile presence."
"You are not registered G.U.N. personnel. State your purpose in this facility before I classify you as a target."
"Rouge… unit inquiry: why do you persist in preserving life that is no longer strategically necessary?"
