Introduction
A 2d-animated fan series based primarily on the concept of genre-blending the Kyodai Hero sub-genre of the Tokusatsu filming medium with the noir detective drama sub-genre of the superhero genre, Zenithman Tachyon: The Adventures of Knightblitz is a 3-season, 25 minute-per-episode original series, with a total of 95 episodes included in the show (35 in season 1), positioned as a prequel to the events of Zenithman M/L/V.
It will be one of two initial major projects in the fanfiction continuity known as the Multiverse of Eyilunas, which is inspired in part by the various Tokusatsu properties of Tsuburaya Productions, Toei Company Ltd., and Toho Co. Ltd. with the goal of creating something similar but original in function.
Note 1: this casting call is just for the voice cast of Zenithman Tachyon: The Adventures of Knightblitz. The casting for the production crew will be listed separately.
General InfoThe series’s premise is simple: it is a genre blend that takes the Kaiju fights of a typical Kyodai Hero tokusatsu series and the gritty noir detective drama of various Superhero shows to create something that is a homage and love letter to both while simultaneously being genuinely new.

DeadlineThe deadline for voice casting is April 12th, 2026 at 6:30 PM UTC -6. There are plans to extend it if this project does not receive its full crew between now and that date.
PaymentPrevious projects by project manager GodzillaLouise have had a long history of updates with payment, going from paid to unpaid, in-between and back. As such, this particular casting call will remain UNPAID. This is a volunteer job.
Production TimelineThere is no production timeline for this project. We will try to have the first season ready for publication by early 2030, but we will make no promises.
Post-CastingAfter being cast, you will be sent a link to join a private discord server for Zenithman M/L/V, which is where internal matters concerning Zenithman M/L/V and this project, will primarily be handled and managed.
If you cannot join the project discord server for some reason, that is, admittedly, not entirely preferably, but is totally reasonable. Just let me know where else you’d prefer to discuss the project and I will oblige.

Ellis Waltresons is the main protagonist of the show and the son of Richard Waltresons and Harriet Edwardson. He is a man who plays the roles of 3 different high-profile people simultaneously, yet is at the same time not necessarily any of those people at any time in his psyche. The people who he portrays himself as include; the E41 Zenith Warrior of two worlds who was raised from youth as an Arlamorite, Zenithman Tachyon, Arlamor’s hometown vigilante, Knightblitz, and Waltresons Innovations Incorporated’s CEO, Ellis Waltresons. In truth, Ellis is physically all three of these people: he is the Waltresons Innovations Inc. CEO, he is the Zenith speedster Zenithman Tachyon, and he is the Arlamorite vigilante Knightblitz. However, due to trauma dealt to his psyche by the loss of his parents in childhood, his identity is fractured, resulting in one true self that has traits of all three and emerges only when he is with those few people who he trusts.
[As Ellis] *Say something you think would fit*
[As Knightblitz] “He’s cruel of heart. But in killing him, you only become the monster he sees. Don’t let him win.” “ “ I see your time in Black Summits Penitentiary hasn’t done you any good, Hydles.”
[As Zenithman Tachyon] “Alright, wasn’t expecting that. It’s not like Kaiju normally have a homing beam quite fast enough to hit me. But hey! First time for everything, I suppose. [pause] Oh. Hi.” “Let’s do this…” *Make some Battle Cry / Grunt-like vocalizations (pretend you’re Tachyon fighting a Kaiju)*
An elderly woman who was once good friends with Ellis Waltresons’s parents and who serves the role of Ellis’s surrogate mother, Professor Elena Storm Nightingale is a prominent figure in Arlamor due to her former career as a therapeutic educational consultant at Arlamor University through her association with Ellis’s family.
“Be careful out there tonight, Ellis.”

A 19 year old, orphaned teenage woman who was once interested in becoming a film composer, Alicia’s family was taken from her by the Brotherhood of Shadows due to the insubordination of her father, who had been working as one of said ecoterrorists in secret. She is an expert hacker and a technology enthusiast. Prior to the series, she was an intern for Waltresons Innovations Inc who discovered Knighblitz was Ellis, and decided to take on the vigilante persona Paladyn in an attempt to assist him in his war on crime. However, as time went on, she found out that he was also Zenithman Tachyon, leading to the necessity for enhanced coordination by the start of the series. She eventually takes on a new, independent vigilante persona in Avirilahavenn, “Steelsong”, at some point between Season 2 and Season 3. During Season 3, she acts as an occasional mentor to Derrick Pendleton, the second Paladyn.
[As Alicia] *Say something you think would fit*
[As Paladyn] *Say something you think would fit* “Did you even try to enjoy yourself? Or is it seriously all doom and gloom with you?”
[As Steelsong] *Say something you think would fit* “Precisely the point, Paladyn. Ellis, you know that Psychosis wouldn’t have sent a Kaiju without purpose. There’s a reason he chose it beyond just its size.“ "Ellis, I’ve already done the scans on this Kaiju… if Tachyon fights it, it’ll only exacerbate the issue. You’re being reckless."
A recurring anti-heroine / villainess portrayed as a young, wealthy woman who uses her donations to charities for ESIDARS’s archeological research branches to hide her true nature, Lorraine Williams is the human vigilante Switchblade, who uses a variety of high tech weapons inspired by the medieval period (such as variations of swords, bows and arrows, halberds, spears, etc.) in combat.

A ruthless crime boss and wealthy elite among the criminals in Arlamor, Eurig Victorson is an experienced crime lord and businessman with a muscular physique and bulky frame who, despite preferring to have his thugs do the fighting for him, is very capable of fighting Knightblitz. Whether it’s in pure hand-to-hand, using an automatic firearm, or using other weapons, Eurig has the strength as well as a significant portion of the skill required to beat Knightblitz in a 1-on-1 fight. Furthermore, in addition to being a known-but-uncatchable champion of crime in Arlamor, he utilizes a group of young, easily-replaceable gangsters to control a smaller gang that acts as a group of armored thugs wearing varied armored masks, who he leads personally as the heavily armored, masked/hooded crime boss known as ‘Mafia’ and uses to expand his gang’s territory.

[As Mafia] *Say something you think would fit*
A wealthy young woman and self-proclaimed oracle who commands a cult that worships her. She is a heavily deluded woman who genuinely believes herself to be the current day’s reincarnation of Gladeriana, a mythological female warrior from ancient Alien Golld mythology who died in search of her husband Gladerius after he had been cursed to forever wander the cosmos by the gods. Despite these delusions, Marcine has enough mental faculty to command a relatively-large scale cult with some efficiency. Though Marcine is not a regular foe of Knightblitz's, she is one he always attempts to get proper rehabilitative aid for.

An arsonist whose ancestry draws to the Fotea Makila on her Mother’s side and to the Skuro Avisa on her father’s side, Zarasa Kagralea is a young Zareian woman who has symptoms of both pyrophilia and pyromania, the former mental illness of hers of which led to a delusion that has made her genuinely believe she is an ”Ambassador to the Flames”. In her eyes, arson is not a crime that kills, but a bringer of purity: she is a genuinely unwell individual who does not comprehend the problems she causes. Knightblitz only comes into conflict with her on very rare occasions.
*Say something you think would fit*
*Say something you think would fit*
An elderly, grey haired forensic scientist who eventually becomes a rival vigilante to Knightblitz, using an exosuit with a Robin Hood aesthetic. He shows up early on in the series as the corrupt head of Arlamor Police Department’s forensics division before becoming a vigilante by Episode 23. As the vigilante Verdentiil, Jonah uses self-invented ‘Teleporter Pearls’ that teleport him to wherever they land once thrown for stealth and a pair of pistol-like plasma-based guns that can be combined back-to-back into a sniper rifle-like form for offense.
[As Jonah Warrick] “Who does he think he is, eh? A hero? The Blitz ain’t nothing more than his foes: a freak. A criminal. And criminals require consequence.”
[As Verdentiil] “THEY DESERVED TO DIE! You hear me, Knightblitz?! ERADICATION! Those hundreds of god damn scorching bullet holes those thugs were found with…? Those were courtesy of yours truly, you insufficient bastard!”
A reoccurring villain inspired by many examples of extraterrestrial invaders in Tokusatsu with Kaiju bodyguards, Keilrix is a representative agent of an expansive extraterrestrial intergalactic union outside the Intergalactic Civilizations Federation, designated with the task of killing Zenithman Tachyon. He has the ability to grow to the size of a Kaiju and, via advanced cybernetic enhancements, can react to high-speed attacks from Zenithman Tachyon.

Ellis’s archenemy as both Knightblitz and Zenithman Tachyon, Lucas Heron is a former ESIDARS particle researcher who resigned from his service at ESIDARS to run an industrialistic corporation formerly run by his parents known as Heron Technologies, Lucas Heron eventually became bored of corporate life, donning the moniker “Razorwind” and beginning to steal corporate secrets from his competitors for his own company. He uses a high-tech exosuit that grants him complete command over wind, and allows him to weaponize air with extremely high and very deadly efficiency. Despite his boredom and his dangerous criminal tendencies, he has proven able to easily navigate Arlamor’s underworld and become a powerful businessman with strong political ties, including honest politicians and dishonest politicians alike. Razorwind does not discriminate in how he antagonizes Ellis, be it as Ellis, Tachyon, or Knightblitz, and he does so as both Razorwind and Lucas Heron. Furthermore, Lucas has known of Ellis’s nature as Zenithman Tachyon, even since before they first met as Knightblitz and Razorwind, due to Lucas Heron’s parents being friends of the Waltresons family, but did not know that Ellis was Knightblitz until after Episode 19. He generally chooses to stay quiet about Ellis’s personas because, to Lucas Heron, there is no greater pleasure than antagonizing Ellis.
[As Lucas Heron or as Razorwind] *Say something you think would fit*
[As Razorwind] *Say something you think would fit* “I’ll have you know, I am literally wearing a mobile weapon. You don’t exactly expect me to step out of my armor during a fight, do you?“ “You believe I’m who I am because of you? No! Fate made me this way! Nothing more, nothing less! Who the hell do you think you are?!“
[As Lucas Heron] *Say something you think would fit* ”[Conspiratorial, Whispering Tone] Ellis, which ‘you’ are we referring to, hm? That tall, agile ‘you’, or that dark, brooding ‘you’? [Pause] Either way, it won’t matter. I don’t fear any of my friends. Would be a terribly sad existence, wouldn’t you agree, Ellis?”
A darkness-powered E41 Zenithwoman who is the former wife of Ellis’s father. She was divorced (prior to Ellis’s conception) due to her feelings towards the war between the Zeniths on Planet E41 misaligning with those of Ellis’s father, and, as such, views Richard Waltresons as a coward who abandoned the war effort in dishonor. She has a tendency to use a mockingly maternal tone with Tachyon, acknowledging her estranged familial connection with his father. Helmerion comes into conflict with Ellis Waltresons frequently, both as Tachyon and as Knightblitz.
[Build Slowly from Calm to Sheer Rage] “Oh, Richard… Across the stars I have searched for you, my love… only for you to reward my commitment by ignoring my existence and having an illegitimate child with the only woman who could fabricate your existence!“
*Say something you think would fit*
“Oh, Ellis… my dear, stubborn boy. I had such hopes you would embrace the inevitable. But familial loyalty has always been a weakness for you, hasn't it? [Pause Briefly] How disappointing.“
An intergalactic Middle Eastern ecoterrorist who was born in the late 1920s, Ralquaz al Qayaan is a former anti-war activist and public speaker who saw the rise of Kaiju and the first attack teams. Due to experimentation done on him by an unidentified race of extraterrestrials between 1986 and 1995 (a time before the first Zenithman arrived on Earth), he is alive, well, and very active by the 9700s, when Knightblitz is active. He is the leader of the “Brotherhood of Shadows” and has a daughter named Tanilia al-Qayaan who will inherit the Brotherhood of Shadows after his death.
*Say something you think would fit*
"I have no need for an ‘equivalent’ to any of your society’s… inadequate institutions, Ellis Waltresons. However, I suppose one could draw comparisons, in the context of this place. Guards! Open the viewing platform." "Look carefully, my dear guest. Do you not see them amidst the rest? No? [Pause] Hm. I suppose time has buried their remains to all eyes… even those that most desperately deserve the closure this platform offers. What a pity."
"Do I, perhaps, detect disappointment in your voice, Ellis? I had imagined that, of all the people in the universe, the architect of Knightblitz’s legend would be able to appreciate the necessity of such measures. Don’t act like it wasn’t exactly what you came here for." “Then you… *coughs* disappoint me gravely… Very well. Guards! Restrain him!”
Ralquaz’s loyal, militaristic daughter, Tanilia commands the Brotherhood of Shadows’ most prestigious operations under most circumstances.

A highly dangerous individual of an extraterrestrial race, the Primordions, who went by the false name "Damien Hydles" to work at Waltresons Innovations Inc, under the false pretense of researching new ways to rehabilitate the mentally ill, Psychosis is an extremely dangerous supercriminal who uses gauntlets capable of generating and releasing a highly potent toxic gas referred to as "Psycho Toxin". When inhaled or otherwise injected, Psycho Toxin can quickly trigger a wide assortment of violent, often psychopathic or sociopathic behaviors in others, often resulting in the development of severe psychotic mental illnesses post-exposure. Psychosis’s real name is unknown, but regardless he is single-handedly responsible for the most damage to Knightblitz’s symbol and legacy. Over the course of time after his first appearance and an idea solidified in his mind by the time of his second appearance, he’d manage to connect the dots and become aware of Knightblitz and Tachyon being one and the same, leading to a final appearance of Psychosis in the 3-part series finale as the final main villain.

[As Psychosis] "Or what? You’ll beat me into submission? You’d merely render me mute, maybe even kill me, before you receive the information you desire. I won’t talk truths to a creature who persists in lies." "Anarchy? No, my dear vigilante. My toxins are far more than that… always have been. You merely saw the effects of a form with less contained, more potent effects. However, like a puppet master with his marionettes, I have complete control over what my toxins do, and today I’m here to bring clarity. To strip away the comforting lies you’ve built for this city, and for yourself."

Slowly, perhaps, but this condition that’s been forced upon me by Moezaki… did more than simply give me ice powers. My cells are freezing. Mutating. Every breath I take is agony. The destruction of this blight’s reputation means nothing to me on its own!” “Asakage [pause briefly or exhale pointedly] remains…” “I just gave him a dose of high potency stage 2 frostbite in his left arm. If you get him to a medical facility within the hour, he should survive. Though, he will likely require amputation of that limb. Farewell, Sir Knightblitz.”
[As Derrick Pendleton] “Alicia, I’ve won fights before. Many times. Grew up in an illegal boxing ring. It’s how I survived. Do you really think I need to learn how to throw a punch?” [As Paladyn] “Geez! That’s the biggest kaiju Arlamor’s seen in over a decade!”
