Guys, I need help for my first game, is about the tails doll creepypasta.
The game needs:

Sorry, it is probably obvious, but wouldn't use Sonic characters, or the very likelihood, run into copyright issues?
So, what are you doing yourself?, I hope it´s not giving orders. Unlikely chance you are getting someone on board in that case; first get at least a working prototype to show you are serious if you want to attract help.
I don´t want to sound like an arse-hole but there are literaly milllions of request like yours on the net.
I'm doing myself, I'm learning Godot.

Sega has officially voiced its approval of fan-made Sonic games, as long as they aren't sold for money or include illegal content.

Does collecting donations count as a sale? Or do you want to distribute your game absolutely free?

tamirroz12 sega does what ninten-dont, lets people use their Ip for fan service. If it was nintendo game, you would be in jail now..

I don't get it, it's legal to make fangames.
People make creepypasta games and they don't get banned

These Sonic R models are recreation models.
You just need to be aware that Sega might shut you down, but the chances are very small. As you said you won´t sell it and it won´t contain nasty topics like drugs, sex and the likes, right?. You should be fine, after all you would need to get a masssive success to even get in their radar even if you did.
Just obey their conduct rules for using the characters (research them) and all will be good.
don't ask for help on your first game. it's clear you don't know nothing.
keep learning and try on your own or use free assets.
if you ask for help, you should be a programmer and know what you are doing, or a PROLIFIC artist and NOT give orders.
because I once worked with an artist as a programmer and he kept asking for new and new features and ignoring what I told him to do.
Like, I told him we had to implement save slots at a certain point, but he was more preoccupied with some small details. I abandoned the project, he didn't get someone as talented to replace me and work on the walls of code I made, then decided to switch to unity, and I didn't hear anything else from him, but the project got nowhere.
if you are an artist you should have a design document of the entire game ready, because programmers need that.
another project I worked making assets, it was an online browser game called nubalo. there were lots of people doing the same, and the guy who invited us was a programmer. but he abandoned the project after 2-3 years for scheduling issues (school) and the project got nowhere. lots of assets were finished by that time, but we had no game.
if you are a programmer, you should be good enough and have enough time to finish the code, or you will waste everyone's time.

I won't add sex and drugs to the game
I'll add blood

Sure it's better… but wouldn't Sega mind how much blood is legal from their point of view?
You're offering quite a large amount of work and without pay… I guess asking here made sense… but it's more likely to find volunteers (although I think the probability is not very high in principle) on fan sites.
I myself was looking for helpers to create an "alternative to the Sims", but people prefer to whine loudly on forums, organize bycotts, blame the greedy corporation (not without good reason) and when it comes to the actual work… well, in general I have very little enthusiasm and faith in people (and it was already low), although I continue to work.
