Sonic (Archieverse)

Sonic is a live-action superhero series loosely based on the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series by Archie Comics, which in turn is based on the SatAM animated series and Sega's video game series, as well as the 4th installment of the Archieverse.
== Plot ==
=== Season 1 ===
On the planet Mobius, where Mobians (half-human/half animal hybrids) roam the planet, the city Robotropolis (formerly Mobotropolis) is ruled with an iron fist by a corrupt dictator Snively Kintobor and his army of Robians following the disappearance of King Nigel Acorn and the apparent death of his wife ten years ago; any Mobian who defies him is either killed and/or roboticized. In retaliation, a group of teenagers form an up-and-coming resistance team to reclaim their home; among the rebels is a super-speedy Mobian hedgehog teenage orphan named Niko Needlemouse seeking to rescue his missing uncle. Near the end of the season, Sally Hill, the leader of the Freedom Fighters and Niko's crush, learns from her dying mother in her dying breath that she is the illegitimate daughter of King Maximillian "Nigel" Acorn. In the season finale, the Freedom Fighters evacuate the citizens of Robotropolis to a safe haven called Knothole.
=== Season 2 ===
Throughout Season 2, Niko and the Freedom Fighters discover that the true ruler of Robotropolis is Dr. Ivo Robotnik, a former warlord of King Acorn who betrayed and banished him to the Zone of Silence. In one episode, Niko finds and attempts to kill Robotnik, believing he will save his friends and family to the dictator's tyranny forever, but Sally stops him and insists that they shouldn't "become the animals that they're trying to take down". Niko rescues his roboticized Uncle Chuck and inherits the "Blue Blur Blade". Using Chuck's memory programming, the Freedom Fighters track down the location of King Acorn in the Zone of Silence and rescue him; unbeknownst to them, Robotnik found him first and replaced him with an automaton look-a-like. In the four-part season finale, the Freedom Fighters attempt to destroy Robotnik's most dangerous weapon: the Ultimate Annihilator. Unfortunately, Sally is apparently killed by an assailant during the mission. Using Sally's hand-computer, Nicole, they discover that the assailant is apparently Niko. Niko denies the accusation, but he is arrested, convicted, and sentenced to life-imprisonment in the Devil's Gulag by the faux King Acorn. Niko manages to escape during a transport escape instigated by the prisoners and sets out to clear his name; consumed with anger over the death of the girl he loved, he threatens to kill anyone who stands in his way, but King Acorn orders His Majesty's Secret Service to apprehend Niko dead or alive. Niko is forced to hide in a brothel to escape the Secret Service and stay in a room with Tiara Boobowski., but is quickly found and hunted until Dulcy saves Niko. Meanwhile, Robotnik invades Knothole, thanks to the help of the King Acorn automaton. Niko discovers that Wolf Pack Freedom Fighter Drake tricked his girlfriend Hershey into disguising herself as Niko and killing Sally; for his part, Drake was bitterly jealous of Niko taking all the credit of all of the Freedom Fighter's victories, so he pretended to defect to Robotnik and get Sonic out of the way so he could take the credit of defeating Robotnik and saving the world. Using Hershey in her Niko disguise, she and Niko trick Drake into confessing his treason; Niko and Hershey are exonerated, and Drake is sentenced to Devil's Gulag. Niko invades Robotnik's base but is too late to stop the Ultimate Annihilator from firing and apparently destroying Knothole. Consumed with rage over the loss of his friends and family, Niko becomes corrupted with a "Dark Form" and attempts to kill Robotnik, but during the fight, he sees his dark face overlapping Robotnik's in the water; remembering what Sally said, Niko realizes that if he killed Robotnik, he would be no better than the evil dictator. But before Niko can make his decision, Robotnik attacks him and prepares to kill him, only for the evil dictator to be consumed by the Ultimate Annihilator. Niko survives but is critically injured and passes out, regressing back to his normal form. He wakes up in Knothole and learns that instead of being destroyed, the safe haven and its citizens were sent into a temporal rift three hours into the future. Dr. Quack reveals that before the UA fired on Knothole, someone tampered with it to target Robotnik instead. He also reveals that the assassination attempt on Sally actually rendered her comatose—thus she is still alive; after Dr. Quack managed to save her from dying, Robotnik (having forced the doctor into working for him by threatening his captured family) ordered him to kill the princess, but he could not bring himself to do it and instead faked her death. Shocked and overjoyed, Niko goes to the hospital room where Sally is kept in recovery in a stasis tube. After she recovers, she and Niko profess their love for one-another and...while I can't go into specific details on what happened next, I will say that Sally did NOT take Niko's virginity.
=== Season 3 ===
During a celebration by the Freedom Fighters, Niko is given a medallion by Sally; however, the medallion traps him in a virtual reality and nearly kills him. Upon recovering, he learns from his uncle that the medallion was NOT created by Robotnik. Remembering that Sally was the one that gave the medallion, Niko suspects her of being an automaton, but Miles' gadgetry proves her innocence—much to Niko's relief. Later, the citizens of Knothole return to Robotropolis to restore their city back to Mobotropolis, and Chuck introduces his nephew to his alive—yet roboticized—parents.
== Characters ==
=== Season 1 ===
* Niko Needlemouse (Timothée Chalamet): A orphaned teenage Mobian hedgehog who lives with his Uncle Chuck. One day, Niko accidentally inherits super speed from a destroyed science experiment conducted by Chuck. Initially, Niko turns down the offer to join the Freedom Fighters but has a change of heart after the disappearance of his uncle. A running gag is that he's a wise cracker (caused by the experiment). Despite his age, Niko dresses in metal attire, loves rock (particularly nu-metal) music, and has a tattoo on his left arm. In Season 1, he becomes enhanced by seven Chaos Emeralds that turn his hair golden and grant him flight; dubbed a "Super Form". Niko inherited the "Blue Blur Blade" from his uncle after rescuing him. He is in love with Sally and professes his love at the end of Season 2 and they kiss.
* Princess Sally "Alicia" Acorn (Dove Cameron): An attractive Mobian chipmunk and Niko's love interest. She forms the Freedom Fighters to help take back her home. She is later revealed to be the illegitimate daughter of King Nigel Acorn; she was born from an affair her father had with Julayla. A running gag is that she spends her time arguing with Niko over his comedic attitude and carefree ways, but by the end of Season 2, they profess their love for one-another and kiss. She was born as "Sally Hill", but legally changed her last name to Acorn at the end of Season 2.
* Miles Prower (Christian Conway): A Mobian fox with two tails that allow him to fly and Sally's adopted younger brother. He is the Freedom Fighters' "gadgets-kid". Unlike his teammates, Miles isn't recruited but joined after overhearing her adopted sister's plan.

* Robert Wallace (Jabari Banks): A gay Mobian walrus. He is the Freedom Fighters' weapons specialist.
* Bonnie Roberts (?): An "outlaw" Mobian rabbit with the western accent. Her legs and left arm had been roboticized for constantly defying Snively.

*Rosie Hill (?): Julayla's cousin who took care of Sally after her mother's death. She also runs an orphanage that Niko stayed in before being taken in by his uncle.
*K'nox (?): A native Mobian echidna. He is tricked by Snively into working for him, believing the Freedom Fighters are trying to steal the Master Emerald that K'nox protects, but after learning the truth, he defects and becomes a member of detective agency Chaotix.
*Dulcy (Cree Summer): A dragon that occasionally assist the Freedom Fighters after being rescued by them.
*Geoffrey St. John (Luke Bracey): Snively's lieutenant. He is initially believed to be an Overlander, and begins as Niko's rival, until the end of Season 1 where he is revealed to be a Mobian skunk and a member of another up-and-coming Freedom Fighters faction. After King Nigel's return, he joined His Majesty's Secret Service.
*Snively Kintobor (?): The Overlander "dictator" of Robotropolis. In Season 2, he is revealed to be under the service of his uncle Dr. Ivo Robotnik. In Season 3, he defected to the Freedom Fighters.
=== Season 2 ===

* Amy Rose (?): A twelve-year-old Mobian hedgehog girl who has a huge crush on Niko.
* Professor Charles "Chuck" Needlemouse (Roger Craig Smith): A Mobian hedgehog professor and Niko's loving and caring, but alcoholic and abusive, uncle. He is a former knight once in service of the Kingdom of Acorn and childhood friend of King Nigel. After his abduction at the beginning of Season 1, he is abducted by Snively, and the Season 2, he is revelaed to be a roboticized servant to Robontik but returns to his nephew after regaining his free-will. While working with Robotnik, Chuck wielded the "Blue Blur Blade"; he passed it on to his nephew after defecting. Chuck is the creator of the Roboticizer, a machine that was intended to prolong someone's life and heal fatal injuries but was ordered by King Nigel to destroy after discovering that there was no apparent way to reverse the process; this indirectly makes him responsible for Robotnik's uprising and King Nigel's disappearance, as well as his resort to alcoholism and frequent abuse of Niko. He wielded a lightsaber called the "Blue Blur Blade" ("3B" for short), but he gave it to his nephew after regaining his free will.
