Sonic Revolution (SenpaiCasey Extended Universe)

Sonic Revolution is an upcoming and partially released science fiction/teenage dystopian fiction novelisation written by Casey McGregor and published by SenpaiCasey Productions, a division of Stardom TI. The novel serves as a reboot to the Sonic Revolution name, which itself serves as a gritty hard reboot and fan work of Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog video game series. As the first instalment in a greater extended universe of works, the novel sets the stage for a greater universe with a few Easter eggs included through the novel.
== Synopsis ==
50 years after a tragedy aboard a Space Colony rocks the planet Mobius, vigilante Shadow the Hedgehog returns to the mainland, dragging a group of young anthropomorphs including Sonic the Hedgehog, Amy Rose and Miles "Tails" Prower, into an all out war between anthropomorphs and humans for the future of the world.
== History ==
In 2019, Casey McGregor released Sonic Revolution under the pen name Casey Chanders, citing a desire to create a darker and grittier hard reboot of the Sonic series, with a more realistic approach to characters and relations, as well as the world they reside in. This included having the teenage characters attend school at the start of the novel, as well as gore scenes and sex scenes, as well as touching on several sensitive topics including bestiality, student-teacher relationships, and the overarching idea of racism and facism reminiscent of Nazi Germany.
In 2020 and 2021, Casey began drafting a reboot, citing problems found with the continuity of the original, as well as desire to create a shared universe akin to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In late 2021, the first two chapters and the prologue of the final version were uploaded to Wattpad, and on March 2, 2022, Casey tweeted announcing the release of the new version, slated for complete release on all major digital book stores in early 2023.

Sonic Revolution will be release in chapters on Wattpad until early 2023, with a full Ebook release slated for early 2023 on the Google Play Store, Amazon Kindle Store, Rakuten Kobo Store and Apple Books.

== SenpaiCasey Extended Universe ==
Sonic Revolution is slated as the first instalment in a shared universe of novels. Sonic Revolution has also been described as the most “down to earth” instalment by Casey McGregor, when compared to the more supernatural threats planned for future novels, including mythical figures and monsters of the week, to gods and even fully omnipotent entities, including big bad Gaia the Dark Primordial, who Casey described as “the Thanos of this shared universe”. Casey has also hinted at ending the first saga of the shared universe with a climactic war similar to the final showdown of 2019 film Avengers Endgame. Casey has also cited story inspiration from Star Wars for one particular storyline, The Santa Clause for another, in addition to certain universe elements from The Maze Runner, and real world inspiration from both World Wars and the Battle of Thermopylae. Future sagas following the Gaia Saga are planned, but nothing set in stone.stone.
== Future ==
Casey has already expressed interest in expanding the Sonic Revolution property, not only as its own property but also as a part of the SenpaiCasey Extended Universe, in which it is one of if not the most important properties in the shared universe. Future immediate plans for the series include an interlude starring Shadow the Hedgehog taking inspiration from Shadow the Hedgehog (2005), and two sequels, one revolving around the Nocturnus Clan and introducing the first crossover of the universe, and the second sequel taking story inspiration from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and involving the rise and battle against the time god Solaris.
Future plans also involve introducing a version of popular fan protagonist Aurora the Hedgehog, the daughter of Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy Rose, in a second trilogy featuring stories involving new villains more demonic in nature, as well as implementing a version of the storyline from season three of Sonic X. Casey has however mentioned that despite the names of this trilogy still sharing the Sonic Revolution name, Sonic will be notably absent in favour of Aurora, and the trilogy to be less for the purpose of series faithfulness and serving more as the lead up to and the climactic showdown against big bad Gaia the Dark Primordial.
