Gotta Go Fast... to the Box Office! [Sonic the Headhog Producer Quest]

You know what would be hilarious? If we managed to hire Surge and Kitsunami to star in a "totally not Paramount Sonic" movie franchise.
I like those characters a ton personally. That would be wonderful to try doing with their former selves (whomever they were) and change history by having them just be actors instead of villains.
 
I guess another neat aspect to the Surge idea is the fact that since Sonic has electricity associated with him in the movies, so Surge's electricity based powerset could fit here too to avoid getting into any problems with the real Sonic before we get the rights to his life story.

The Green Hills City Hall is rarely this busy.

Sure, the odd business license comes through now and then—a bakery, a craftsman, maybe a quaint inn or two—but a film studio? That's a different beast altogether. Yet here you are, sitting in a chair far too small for comfort, staring at a stack of papers that seem just as daunting as the dream you're about to chase.

The administrator, a portly skunk with glasses perched precariously on his snout, hands you a pen.

"Right then," he says with a yawn. "Fill this out, and we'll get you officially registered. Don't skimp on the details—nobody's making a film without declaring their… er, particulars."

Particulars. Right. Time to decide who you are.

WHAT ARE YOU?
[ ] Common Mobians
: Foxes, chipmunks, squirrels, hedgehogs, lemurs, and skunks—Mobius's everyday folk. Nimble, clever, and ever-resourceful, Common Mobians fit into just about any niche.

IF MALE
  • ESTABLISHMENT ACCEPTABLE: Common Mobian male movie producers account for around seventy to eighty percent of the entire industry. You aren't going to turn heads or draw indignant scoffs beyond the fact that you were...y'know...a working man and not some failson scion of some ancient business magnate pedigree.
  • BORING: ...and that's it, really. There's not much else to say.
IF FEMALE
  • A LITTLE WEIRD BUT...: Hey, you're still classic Mobian at least! Mobian female Movie producers are a lot rarer, but they still exist--and they don't face the double whammy of both racism and sexism at once in the industry, just the sexism! Which is......well, still pretty bad to be honest. At least you aren't going to be refused from attending galas or award ceremonies if you get that far.
  • GO AND MAKE ME A SANDWICH: Actually, it's really bad. But hey, underestimation can be a good thing, right?
[ ] Clan Mobians: Wolves, sharks, lynxes, chameleons, and lions—these proud and territorial species carry the weight of tradition and strength wherever they go. Yes you are one of the so called warmongers. No you are not a spy and no you are not an exile! NOT ALL CLANS ARE ISOLATIONIST IDIOTS! YES, WE HAVE TVS!

IF MALE
  • WAR IS YOUR BLOOD: You've been fighting for a very, very long time. Immediately start with Decent Security instead of Partial Security. Opens special actions to deal with, and commit, hostile actions.
  • BLOOD-SOAKED HISTORY: The Clans reputation only hurts in this new battlefield. Gain a malus to financing rolls, recruitment rolls, and Advertising & Distribution rolls.
IF FEMALE
  • IMPROVISATION IS YOUR LIFEBLOOD: A life with the clan has prepared you well to make do with whatever you have. 0 Cash options are more effective. Credits in general go further.
  • CLAN DUTY: The Head of your Clan pulled you out of a bad place once, and you'll owe them for that. Nebulous debt to your clan.

REGARDLESS OF GENDER
  • SAVAGE: Racism is alive and well in this age, and you're one of the primary victims. Gain a malus to financing rolls, recruitment rolls, and Advertising & Distribution rolls.

[ ] First Mobians: Elephants, squids, turtles, alligators, and crocodiles—The First Mobian species with a deep connection to the roots of Mobian culture. They often seem wise beyond their years. Well, most of the time. These days the newer generations have mostly forgotten it. Eh kids.

IF MALE
  • A FOUNTAIN OF IDEAS: When you put a pen to page, you can already see the film at the end. Gain a bonus to scriptwriting rolls and individual actor rolls.
IF FEMALE
  • MAMA BEAR: It's easy to reflect and learn from your mistakes when they can't leave your head. Maybe you can teach people to avoid the same pitfalls. Novice maluses for actors are halved.
REGARDLESS OF GENDER
  • GOOD OLD DAYS: You might not be the oldest of your species, but you've still been around for a while. Choose two Professions.
  • AN UNFORTUNATE STEREOTYPE: Most people hear about 'First Mobian film production' and assume it's going to be another documentary. Gain a malus to Advertising & Distribution rolls and Box Office Reception rolls.
[ ] Human: Fewer in number but no less ambitious, humans are known for their adaptability and knack for innovation. Though most Mobians look at you through very colored eyes.
  • AMBITION: You might get tired, but you won't quit. Gain one free re-roll (keep highest) per production.
  • THOSE OLD MOVIES: Most Mobians know non native humans from the imported movies. They formed an opinion alright. Gain a bonus to Advertising & Distribution rolls and Box Office Reception rolls as long as you stick to Action and Horror Movies.
  • NEW KID: It'll take some time to build up connections. Gain a malus to Financing rolls and recruitment rolls.
[ ] Hybrid Mobian: Cross-species Mobians with diverse traits, hybrids can bring unique perspectives (and abilities) to any team. Sure that is what most people say but you know better. Most Hybrids are seen as too sickly too keep a job and burden to their families even though the newest medical treatments made that a thing o the past decades ago. You will manage you always did.
  • EFFICIENT USE OF TIME: A proper management strategy and well-defined goal is the key to accomplishing tasks quickly with time left over. Gain a number of extra Reshoot points every production.
  • LONG RESUME: You had a hard time keeping jobs but you did gain more varried experience. Pick three Professions.
  • KASAN: …The treatments arent cheap. You need to move faster. Lose a number of Reshoot points. Your health is unstable.
[ ] Humians: Rare human-Mobian hybrids, living proof of unity and shared cultures between the two species. Or so its claimed. In reality outside of certain communities you are seeen as abominations against the will of Chaos or whatever god the locals worship. And of course there is the fact that you were a delinquent but come on everyone had some trouble in their youth! Even if your parents dont believe in you! You will show them that your dream is possible!
