Bunderkin Pilot (Mystery/Adventure)
Project Overview
Bunderkin is a mystery adventure show aimed at 6-11 year olds.
When a band of young misfits, living in a post-apocalyptic world, reject the recited reality of their hometown they venture out on a series of dangerous quests to answer questions like: Who are we? Why are we here? And where did we come from? . . . And what the heck happened?!
Mystery, Danger, friendship and puzzles!

This character’s name is: Beedee. He is a 12 year old who is a mischievous, cynical, highly imaginative and completely independent adventurer. His over inflated self-confidence mixed with his prickly hard-to-get-along-with personality pushes most others away.
He is a unique Bunderkin in that his dragon-like appearance resembles one of the original ancient founders of Bunder Hollow. Unfortunately for Beedee, this founder is regarded as a bad-luck/bad-omen jinx which is why nobody in town wants him around. Beedee has a bit of a chip on his shoulder due to this resemblance.
Beedee lacks any self-discipline or ability to concentrate effectively. His no-think-just-do attitude leads him to be quite impulsive and gets him and his friends into a number of scrapes. He is quick-witted and when cornered, his ability to whip out clever insults is unmatched. He is undeniably fun and is quite nimble.

I can do whatever I want! Treasure hunting, monster fighting, exploring, adventuring! You name it, I've done it. One day I'm going to be strong enough to leave this boring valley behind and never come back! I'm out of here the second I find out where this treasure map leads. (bragging and determined dreaming)
Listen...Fry, Boyle, we all know how this goes. You say something stupid, I say something smart. That’s our thing and I’m fond of it, but today I’ve got more important things to do (condescending, mocking-their-unintelligence, matter-of-fact, insulting, speaking to lower life forms)
It's not me! It's this cave! There's no handholds! It's too high! And who even built that bridge?! Shoddy craftsmanship, if you ask me!” (making excuses, blaming everything but himself, desperate, panicked)

The character’s name is: Keekee, our resident expert on everything history, ancient, or bookish.
Keekee is an introverted Bunderkin who would much rather curl up with a good book than go on a great adventure. However, she’s not afraid to say her piece-especially when she knows her information is right!
Keekee is Beedee's first (and only) resource for book-smarts, as she is the only Bunderkin who can understand and transcribe ancient runes. She has a lot to say! Trust us! Just…give her a moment to organize her notes!

Well, wherever you found it, it’s definitely pre-Bunder Hollow. It says the…Entrance to the…Ex…o…dus…Exodus? Exodus! And this side has what appears to be a map! (carefully, thoughtfully, translating runes that she’s just been given and not had time to properly study)
Beedee! We agreed you’d use the front door! …how do you keep getting up here anyway? (Shocked, then annoyed and confused, as she realizes Beedee’s climbed multiple stories up to her window)
I’m not—it’s not boring. Stop distracting me! (Beedee’s called her boring. Keekee’s taken aback and a little hurt, before trying to bush Beedee’s comment off and get back on track)

The character’s name is: Fry, he’s the teenage leader of the Scum Squad, Bunder Hollow’s local gang of young delinquents.
Fry is a gruff, stubborn brute who ain't never met a problem he can’t solve with his fists. He’s fully confident in every decision that he makes and enjoys bossing people around. He isn’t exactly book-smart…nor is he necessarily street-smart...what’s a good word for the opposite of “smart”?

D'ere you are, Blunderdragon! What have we told you about bringing your dirty dragon luck to our side of town? You think you can make us look stupid again? Well ya can’t… (threatening, angry, and intentionally putting Beedee down by replacing “Bunder” with “Blunder”)

The character’s name is: Boyle! Boyle is Fry's right-hand lackie!
He's overly eager and easily excitable, but that’s just cuz he’s got the soul of a true artist! Ya see, he’s put himself in charge of all the Scum Squad’s branding! First step, name brand recognition! Next step, merchandising! But don’t let his hobbies fool ya, he’s tough as nails and still enjoys beating up punks just as much as the next guy!

Oh! You likes the new hardware? We're starting a new gang! And we wanted to add some style...ya know! Merchandisin’! brandin'! The whole works! (Misses the sarcasm and is just excited to talk about their new branding style!)

The character’s name is: Mayor Bunson!
This bite-sized Mayor of Bunder Hollow is a pompous, proud, power-hungry politician who would do anything to ensure his reelection. His polished facade hides a tyrannical mindset who can go from smooth and persuasive to frantic and irrational at the drop of a hat. Mayor Bunson knows that as long as he can continue to perpetuate the fear of the unknown he can maintain control over the weak.
We’re looking for someone who has a wide performance range and can pull off this high energy back and forth personality.

My fellow Bunderkin! My re-election is upon us! I am running once again unchallenged. (quietly to assistant) Not that anyone could challenge me. (back to the crowd) Now where was I? Ah yes, over the years, my dedicated hand has maintained your safety from danger...death...and the UNKNOWN! (trying to stir up the crowd in a way that benefits his agenda)
Vote Mayor Bunson! A Vote for Bunson is a Vote for Safety! (campaigning phrases that Mayor Bunson exclaims at every opportunity)
A curfew? Oh, are you sure we need to be so drastic? It certainly won’t poll well. (nervous and flustered)

This character’s name is Boba T Yoga!
Dastardly, crafty, and manipulative, the Bunder-Witch of Bunder Valley is not to be trifled with. It is said, that Boba T. Yoga is older, and more, dangerous than she looks. A once powerful shapeshifter Boba T. Yoga lost the majority of her magic ages ago and is looking for a way to rejuvenate her powers. No one quite knows what she plans to do once she has her magic back, but whatever it is it won’t be anything good…

I hate to tamper with perfection, but this role calls for a more unimaginative standard of beauty….yes indeed…bog standard. (transforming into something new, but fully confident in what she looked like before)
I mean, reeeeally? I just want to be happy. Is that asking for too much? I’m a simple girl, all I want out of life is peace and quiet…and thousands of lesser beings who worship me and obey my every whim.
There's ANOTHER PIECE MISSING! Unbelievable! Inconceivable! For hundreds of years I’ve been searching for this… and now to find out…THERE’S STILL ONE MISSING!!! (Shrill ranting and escalating in sound)

This character’s name is The Müsh!
The Müsh is one of three old men who bum around Bunder Hollow. His voice is loud and carries well even across a crowded plaza. He’s a talker, but actually more or an interrupter, who can’t quite get to the point. He gets a bit jumbled and scatterbrained while trying to speak, but when he finally gets his thoughts out they’re sharp and witty, though often interrupted by his own belly laugh. The only thing saltier and more sour than the Müsh is the smell of the canned sardines that he often is consuming.
The Müsh’s actual name is unknown; it’s the one thing he won’t talk about, nobody even knows why he is called the Müsh.
The Müsh and his friends are a reminder of how stagnant and narrow minded Bunder Hollow is. They like their way of life and you better not insinuate that there’s anything better out there!
The Mush and his friends are inspired by:
Three Old Men (Cowboy Bebop)
Grumpy Old Men
Statler and Waldorf (The Muppets)
This is only the beginning. Look at your pieces...you have no endgame. Your druid is banished with no mana. Your village is backwards! Your giant…doomed! Total catastrophe! (speaking to Doogle, upset that Doogle’s current game strategy makes no sense)
We’ve added wheels to our gaming table! So wherever you decide to make a fool of yourself…we can watch up close! Front row seats! (demonstrating their now mobile table to Beedee)
I ain’t ever tried to change and I ain’t ever tried not to, I’m perfectly content with where I’m at. (laid back, content)
