Arknights Abridged
Project Overview
It's your favorite homicidal pharmaceutical company in ways you've never seen before... and probably wish you hadn't in hindsight.
Overview
Hi, my name is Skorak, I am here to talk to you about our lord and saviour, funni people on the Internet doing funni stuff. I am organizing a project for which I'm gonna be the lead writer and coordinator, aiming to fully abridge and release the new Arknights anime that came out recently. Now, while it will be a daunting task, I already have the main editor on board so part of the load on that front is mostly taken care of. Here I'm mostly looking for VA's, support editors, and a potential co-writer (always more fun writing with someone else)
Payment
For now, this is a passion project, mostly done for the fun of it -given my channel is dead AF- but if it takes off and becomes profitable I am perfectly willing to transition to a proper, paid venture (of course as team 4-star put it "this is a non-profit fan-based parody" so all the revenue will be coming from Patreon and potential sponsors if we make it big)
About Me
Hey, Name's Skorak. I'm a small AK YouTuber and streamer with about 3k subs. While my individual reach isn't that big, I have a few friends in the scene that can hopefully help word of this spread. Plus I am planning to also go hard on this, so feel free to audition if you're interested.
When you are logged in, you can comment, add submissions, create projects, upvote, search open roles, and way more. Login here.
Heyhey. If you'd be interested in helping me out with the funnies, this is your stop. Now, while I feel pretty confident in being able to hammer out the scripts, scripting is immensely more fun when done as a group, especially as a comedy. So if you're willing to combine your brain cells with my singular one, give the audition a try. If you have previous work to show, great. If not, you can write a short, comedic AK-themed scene that I will review.

Say something you think would fit
You'll be part of the real engine of this operator. Helping out lead editor Raxi with making this project a reality. Depending on the attendance and talent gathered team size may vary so you may potentially work as part of a group. Any of your previous editing work works as a sample. And remember, passion is far more important than pre-existing expertise.
⚠IMPORTANT NOTE FROM RAXI⚠:
1) The ability to mask and track animation will be ESSENTIAL here. 2) As long as we match our export settings theoretically it doesn't matter what software you are using. 3) I will isolate and timestamp all the scenes that require lip-sync and are included in Skorak's master script. After that, either I alone or all of us together will divide the work as equally as possible among all the editors (whichever method is preferred)
4) ALL THE DETAILS E.G EXPORT SETTINGS AND WORKFLOW WILL BE POSTED WITHIN A FEW DAYS ON THE OFFICIAL DISCORD SERVER OF THE PROJECT
THANK YOU FOR APPLYING!

Amiya is the main protagonist of AK, leader of the organisation Rhodes island, and an all-around devoted, optimistic, and driven young girl... in this rendition she also has a weird Jekyll/hyde thing going on owning to the fact she's [SPOILERS] the king of sarkaz, and thus will often disrupt her sweet and heroic demeanour to go into rage-fueled, sarcastic and often pretty accurate rants. She's quick to apologize about them afterwards though. Also i decided to diverge from the story where she basically adores the doctor from the get-go and wanted to make that into more of an arc for her actually bonding with him. (the Aussie accent is optional BTW but since she's from AK's equivalent to Australia it would be a bonus)

(concerned) Doctor... wake up doctor... Doctor? [Slap] (angry) WAKE UP YOU USELESS, HOT WATER-CHUGGING WAR CRIMINAL!
(heartfelt) Doctor, you don't understand, we have to save the infected... And our asses. I mean, primarily our asses. The city's gonna be FUCKING NUKED in like two minutes.
(irritated) Look, I don't care how much Kal'Tsit has the hots for this guy, I was like seven when he got chucked into a freezer, he literally means nothing to m- (feigns innocence) heeey doctor~
The doctor is a slightly unhinged amnesiac that learned the secrets of the universe while within the sarcophagus. that means fourth-wall breaking and Gacha references galore. They will often allude to Gacha tactics and monetization practices and will generally come off as not all there. Yet deep - and I mean DEEP- down they still do have the desire to help out people.
- english
(excited) It's docting time!
(making a point) You see Amiya, marketing is what's important. For example, Dobermann here would only be appealing to BDSM furries and thus is a rather low-value person.
(suspicious) am I the only one that finds it weird that out of all our named operators that went on this mission, the only ones dead are the two guys? almost like some cosmic entity is... looking out for its bottom line.
Dobermann really isn't much different than the actual game, a bit less strict and more naive maybe, but still, an instructor war vet that's doing her best... which makes it even more awkward when she keeps getting into situations and saying things that only serve to make everyone around her think she's a BDSM freak even more than they already did.

(frustrated) Mmm. I see. So let me get this straight. Our greatest hope of getting out of here is a man who's not only insane but also apparently useless.
I assure you, a whip is a perfectly ordinary battle instrument [looks at the whip thoughtfully] I wonder why so many of them moan when I hit them with it though.
it is with a heavy heart that I inform you all that no, getting nuked is not something we covered in basic operator training.
Absolute gigachad of a character here, Ace is the classic heroic strongman that always exudes an air of confidence and attraction. The irony in that is that since he's just that perfect, every potential partner gets intimidated away, thus he's a virgin.

[just threw a flashbang] think fast chucklenuts
[choking an enemy on a sleeper hold] right then, good night princess [Enemy says "harder daddy] what?
[dying] Listen to me guard... just... be quiet and listen. The truth is... after all of this, the truth is... I'm a virgin.
very much team mom. An ex-celebrity that still very much reminisces about the old days. Can be a bit overbearing at times, but she's also painfully aware of how troublesome RH ops can be.
- english
(concerned but stalwart) Amiya, doctor, I'm here... (turns suspicious) nobody... got lost this time? All right, let's do a headcount
(amused) Alcohol problem? Hoho, my friend, alcohol is the SOLUTION.
(irritated) How many times do I have to tell you not to wander alone? last time we needed half of Rhodes' manpower to dislodge guard off a tree!
Ch'en's basically a robot in this. She has a severely stunted personality and has trouble understanding the most basic of metaphors or sarcasm. she points out a lot of the show's absurdities and inconsistencies. She also has a crush on Hoshi but it's very much a "does not compute" disaster
- english
(very matter-of-fact, deadpan) I would suggest you check your commander's mental faculties, they seem quite sub-par (puzzled, still deadpan) beating a dead horse? I assure you I do not engage in animal cruelty
(taken aback, deadpan) so you're suggesting we spare the dangerous criminal whose brother we mercilessly killed and could still pose a threat... because she's a cute girl... [turns to intercom] yes, men, fire at will.
(deadpan) well if I am to be honest, the organization in this ship is atrocious, the operators clinically insane and the decor is an affront to my vision... (a slight bit of emotion breaks through)...I like it...
not all that different from the game. Hoshi is big, loud, jacked, and proud about all of it. She often drinks and seems to have done just about every job -legal and illegal- under the sun.
- english
[Hulk hogan impression] YEAHH BROTHERRR [clears throat] (apologetic, normal voice) sorry, force of habit.
(confident, smug) Yes, those are my real biceps and yes, you're free to touch them.
(exasperated) no Ch'En that's not what i- (devious) you know what, yeah, make sure to break ALL their legs.
A trainwreck of a person, Franka is a rather lost soul trying to hide the fact behind her manic activities and faux confidence. looks up to Liskarm, which with her personality means she usually makes things even harder for her.
- english
(groggy) What? a new mission? yeah *yawn* I'll be right there.
(annoyed) I'm telling you, dumping all your money in rhine labs stock is a perfectly valid investment, you gotta spend money to make money right. (haunted) approximately 4 million LMD worth of money...
(flirty) well, heeloo there. so, what are you doing after this? Getting impaled by me? oh what a coincidence [stabs reunion soldier]
the outwardly serious counterpart to Franka, in reality, she's a massive geek for underground action media and will make it everyone's problem at the first opportunity.
- english
(exasperated) yes, boss, we're gonna be late *sigh* no boss, not because of Franka this time.
look, all I'm saying is that the starchosen was best in season two when he fought Zero pri- [officer walks in] (panicked) comic books? who was talking about comic books?
(annoyed, about to jab back) oh really? Well my growing stack of geek media can't be nearly as bad as YOUR growing stack of hungover 5 out of 10's
Exia is a massive westernboo owning to her time in Columbia after leaving Laterano but before joining Penguin logistics. She indulges her manic energy to forget about the tragedy back in Laterano
- english
(accusatory) Well hol' up there pardner, you can't go around telling people about my secret cowboy cap stash, I don't go around pointing out how you're addicted to smok- (Panicked) POCKY STICKS...YOU'RE ADDICTED TO POCKY STICKS
(scheming) right, so, hear me out. We bake an apple pie, lace it with rat poison, and present it to reunion's leader...(taken aback) what? nobody can resist a good apple pie.
(just send in your best rendition of "country roads")
Serious, no-nonsense, absolutely done with this shit. Also endless dispenser of sarcasm.
- english
- italian
(puzzled)So... your plan is to distract them with pies until they're all herded and drop a comically large box on them... (neutral) Right, so, I'm gonna go find the biggest guy in their camp and kill him.
(insulted) Grumpy? well, maybe YOU try to provide for three girlfriends and see how many parties you'll be throwing.
(unenthused) woo, we won... yeah, I'd be more excited but you gotta understand that all this represents to me is a paycheck approximately twenty percent below the minimum wage.
yeahh, this one's basically a gimmick on her fanservicey nature. Although it's given a more Lovecraftian spin. She's a creature made like this by a transcendent entity for money, and she suffers this existence.

Thighs
Boooobs
Life is an existential nightmare, humans are driven by their base instincts which then get exploited. The sins of this world are perpetuated by a failing system that profits on self-devolution... I mean, asssss
speaks in long expository dialogue with a shakesperean twist that bores the fuck out of everyone listening to her, in truth it is a mechanism to confuse those she converses with to go along with everything she says.

(Expositing) Ah i seeth thee've hath returned
(still expositing)prithee keepeth the nuclear annihilation to a minimum this timeth
(whispers) They gone?... (relieved) oh thank god, as long as I speak like that they won't know I have no idea what I'm doing.
The leader of lungmen that is getting up there for years and is becoming geriatric. While usually played for laughs, he does have some nuggets of wisdom left in him when things get dire. Also a Joe Biden parody (in the geriatric department)

(reminiscent)Ah, yes, lungmen. You know before I got this post, my father told me "son, never forget. Lungmen is... has... (unsure) the best bakeries?" yeah, that must've been it...
(Yelling) WHAT? I DIDN'T HEAR YOU (taken aback) all right there's no need to shout
(proud) you know I'm still quite a capable leader. The other day I had to climb a flight of stairs and ONLY fell down three times.
Think gender-bent Kobeni from chainsaw man. Incredibly scared, incredibly unlucky, yet always survives somehow.

(barely disguised suffering)Oh no miss Dobermann, i'm fine. The arrows hit precisely the spots that would cause maximum pain without the sweet release of death.
(yet more barely disguised suffering)Hmm, why do I want to be here? Oh no, it's not a want, it's crippling, inherited financial debt. Haha...ha...
(Panic) Sir, SIR? Nono, come on, you have to get up. I mean, if I manage to kill you then my presence in this mission will officially be more dangerous than the fucking catastrophe
an invisible, ordinary girl thrown into this world of madness. She's often either exasperated or dead inside from all the madness around her.

- female teen
(pumped up) All right guys, we have to stay calm. What if we... (Dejected) oh, or we can follow the doctor...
(exasperated) it's always "medic heal this" "medic heal that" but never "hey medic, how was your day" "oh, I like your haircut today medic" "Ouch, does that gaping stab wound hurt medic?"
(resigned) Well, if I die here, at least I hope they'll remember to put my name on the headstone... Yeahhh, who am I kidding...
A maddened eco-terrorist that preaches about the virtues of organically-sourced originite and essential originium. is slightly unsettled by the voices she occasionally hears.
- english
(sinister) the infected are crying amiya, can you hear their voices?... (Still sinister) ccccaptain planet...
(disgusted) ugh, this is definitely not organically sourced originite. I demand to see the manager of this city... oh right, I killed him.
(haunted) There's this... voice in my head. It's telling me to... kill... and recycle...
good old crazy-ass Mephisto. In this version, he's so unhinged a lot of the other reunion leaders prefer to not even deal with him. Except for Faust of course.
- english
- male teen
(amused) Crazy? crazy is such a boring word. I prefer "Differently Sapient"
(listing off) well, let's see. There is my healing singing, zombification, regeneration, oh and I can also turn into a giant bird, I have no idea why you would find my arts "broken"
(livid) I will murder all of you, carve out your entrails, and use them to paint a giant heart with me and Faust's initials in it because we're BEST FRIENDS, and NOTHING MORE.
hard-working, serious, and intelligent. Also has limited awareness of the fourth wall and will occasionally probe it, knowing he's one of the least liked and thus most prone to dying characters.
- english
- male teen
(annoyed) *sigh* I dunno Mephisto, how DID they find our location that has a giant konga line of the undead pouring out of it?
(serious) you do not get it, doctor. In this world, survival is a matter of marketability...
(relieved) phew, I survived the nuke. That means there are great plans for me in the future right... right?
Ah, crownslayer. Truly does try her best that one, and is pretty intelligent and driven to boot. Shame she always gets the short end of the stick.
- english
(Determined) It's all right guys, I got thi- [cut to after the mission with crownslayer battered] (in pain) I... didn't have that
(irritated) I'm one of reunion's commanders damn it. Hell, I should at least be as powerful as... (confused) power creep? What's power creep?
all right, I have no idea who this "Shaw" is but the name gives me fucking chills.
Yeh, W's a crazy gun-pun bundle of fun with explosions the size of the sun. Ok, I'm done, run, ok NOW I'm done.
- english
(fishing for laughs) I guess you could say you... went out with a bang? eyyyy... (realization) oh yeah I forgot they're all dead
[caressing her grenade launcher] (sinister) Oh yeah mommy's trigger-happy. In fact, right now she's trigger *ecstatic*
(commenting on her ammo count) hey, hey. I'm not in the business of counting my bullets before they hatch, all I need to know is how many it took in the aftermath.
Incredibly depressed Russian bear girl. conflicted over whether to go with Rhodes Island or reunion. Although RH's shenanigans while protecting her do definitely make a point for Reunion.

- russian
(observing) Ah, yes, a knife... (depressed) I can definitely be trusted around knives...
(sarcastic) So, you're telling me to trust you... because you want to help the infected... which is also coincidentally the same thing the people you don't want me to trust want to do...
(contemplative) Should I... take over Alex's mantle? Would he truly want that? And I might get killed... [puts on costume] IT'S SKULLSHATTERER 2.0 BABYYY.
Alex is in fact quite a refined and conscientious person, Skullshatterer on the other hand... Sometimes he doesn't want to think about the collapse of his life ok? the mask helps.
- english

- russian
(concerned) Skullshatterer...
(Alarmed) Skullshatterer!
(Exasperasted) Look. This is like, my style all right? Like, my big villain identity, so please go along with it. Now if you'll excuse me, Ahem [Puts on mask] (menacing) SKULLSHATTERER!
