On earth, a catastrophe known as the "Honkai" has plagued mankind throughout history. The Honkai was created alongside civilization, and creatures known as the "Honkai beasts", deadwalkers, as well as a paranormal humanoid - The Herrscher - were born within it.
In this Honkai-corrupted world, the Valkyries, brave girls with Honkai resistance, have been fighting for all that is beautiful in the world.
Hi there, my name is Mallow. I'm here with this casting call to fandub the animated shorts created by Hoyoverse (previously MiHoYo) of their game Honkai Impact 3rd! This includes the Cooking with Valkyries series. This is unfortunately an unpaid project, because I am unable to monetize any of the videos that we create. Non-verbal efforts and fighting sounds are required! This second call is to finish casting the main characters.
You can watch them here:

Bronya was an orphan who lost her home and family in the 2nd Honkai War and was captured by the Siberian army who trained her as a soldier, which led her on becoming the infamous and feared sniper, the Silver Wolf of the Urals, until she got knocked out by Cocolia, who took her in to her Orphanage, where Bronya met Seele Vollerei.
However, the orphanage hid a dark secret; its true purpose was for an experiment known as the 'X-10', and had hidden experimentation facilities and supplies of the X-10 project. There, Bronya was experimented on, gaining the power to use Honkai energy, levitate, and more but lost her emotions and the ability to use her legs. After losing Seele when she disappeared into quantum state due to failure of the X-10, Bronya entered St. Freya High School as a mole of Anti-Entropy with hopes of saving her long-lost friend.
Bronya has a gentle, almost robotic voice. However, she does not sound like a robot. She was raised in the army, and shortly after lost her emotions in an experiment. Nevertheless, she cares very deeply for her friends and loved ones.

[Theresa asks Bronya to play a game with her on a handheld device]
The Bronya accepted incoming co-op request.
[Bronya had been pushed down the stairs by another girl in the orphanage. Seele watched but was too afraid to do anything. Bronya finds an ashamed Seele hiding in a chest in her room, and comforts her. See*lay]
I don’t feel pain as long as you’re here with me. None of that was your fault, Seele.
[Bronya, Kiana, and Fu Hua are fighting against the Herrscher of Domination. Bronya was knocked out of the fight, but used her remaining power to help Kiana win the battle]
Kiana doesn't care about that, cause she's an idiot! ...And an idiot doesn't know when to quit!
A quiet young soldier. The girl was still immature and insecure, unaware of her turbulent future. She was a fledgling that lost her way in and did not know the way out. Born 50,000 years ago, Fu Hua's hometown was destroyed by Honkai incidents. She was the only survivor. She was scouted as a soldier by the Fire Moth, and eventually became a Flamechaser. After failing to defeat the Honkai, Hua and two other Flamechasers cryogenically froze themselves to guide the next era against the Honkai. When she awoke, she was tasked with guiding the new era alongside her comrades Fuxi and Nuwa. As such, she was worshipped by the people of Shenzhou, given the title of the Immortal Celestial.
At an unknown time, she began to use the name Fu Hua, lost her immortality, and suffered a great loss of strength. She also lost a portion of her memories. In order to protect China, she made a deal with Otto and became a Schicksal Valkyrie. After Hua betrays him, Otto shoots her and she is forced to transfer her consciousness into her divine key. The Honkai takes over her body, leading to the birth of the Herrscher of Sentience. The Herrscher of Sentience was so confused by 50,000 years of memories, she believed she was the true Fu Hua.
Fu Hua is tens of thousands of years old, and hardened by wisdom and loss. However, she is still youthful and seamlessly blended in at St Freya. Keep in mind, you will be voicing both Fu Hua and Herrscher of Sentience!
Fu Hua has a medium-deep raspy voice. The Herrscher of Sentience can be summed up as a spoiled child. Her voice has a wider range of emotions than Hua's, and she often growls and screeches when she doesn't get her way.

[Hua's MOTH introduction]
I am still myself. Before I become my future self, there is a long way I must walk. There is only one kind of fate, and it cannot be bypassed.
[Fu Hua stopped Kallen Kaslana from using her divine key against the Shenzhou army. She speaks with thousands of years of wisdom]
Your divine key was forged to protect and defend the human race. Tell me key wielder, what is it you fight to protect?
[Fu Hua’s body was taken over by Honkai energy, creating the Herrscher of Sentience. Fu Hua is doing all she can to help Kiana in her fight against the Herrscher of Sentience, angering the Herrscher]
Fu Hua: I can only provide limited support. Make good use of it, Kiana!
Herrscher of Sentience: Damn it… how could this be… how could this be? You… insolent fools!
Himeko is a strong leader and reliable at work, for the most part, but is a severe alcoholic who would even drink while teaching. Brave and sometimes reckless in battle, she never backs down when the lives of others are at stake. She cares deeply for Kiana Kaslana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya Zaychik. She protected Mei from Schicksal HQ's influence after the 3rd Eruption and saw Kiana as a person despite knowing her status as a clone. In the end she nobly sacrificed herself for the chance to save Kiana.
Himeko is the wine aunt.

[Himeko caught Bronya dozing off in class. She is in the middle of teaching and talks sternly, but caringly]
I know the finals are coming and everyone’s working hard, but do remember to sleep, girls.…Bronya? It’s alright, sugar. Just try to stay awake in class.
[Himeko has just finished teaching her class, and is worried about Kiana's grades, but is looking forward to drinking]
I’ve gotten the real rank 1 Valkyrie trainee in class, Fu Hua, to help you out. I have a booze party… I mean, I am a very busy woman.
[Himeko is fighting against the Herrscher of the Void, a supernatural being using the body of her student to wreak havoc. Himeko believes in Kiana, and sacrifices herself]
Kiana, be brave. You can still end this story the way you want! Live, Kiana. That's… my final… lesson to you.
Theresa Apocalypse is a clone made from the DNA of Kallen Kaslana and a Honkai Beast named Vishnu. She is also the principal of St. Freya Academy and the World's Cutest Valkyrie (in her words). Due to experimental shortcomings, Theresa's body could not physically grow up past the age of 12.
While she has a somewhat mature personality, she does display a fondness for child-like things (sweets, HOMU) and many of her battle phrases involve her calling herself cute or insulting the enemy. Sometimes she also uses her young appearance to her advantage. Despite her occasional immaturity, she is a very capable principal of St. Freya High and will do anything to ensure her student's safety.

[Talking to her niece Kiana at St Freya Academy]
You can’t address me by my name, and stop calling me your aunt! You must address me as Madam Principal! Got it?
[Theresa is giving advice to one of her students, Bronya, after Bronya confronts the woman who raised her]
Perhaps Cocolia really loves her children. But love must be based on respect. She must know that children do grow up. Adults also experience fear and confusion when there’s no answer in sight. In situations like this, you must stand firm and believe in the right thing, Bronya.
[Theresa has just woken up to her life sized Homu plush, but would rather still be asleep]
Homu... what time is it? Hmm. I want to sleep more...
Rita is the vice captain of "Immortal Blades" and the trusted adjutant of Durandal, and one of three S-Rank Valkyries in Schicksal working under Otto. She is dubbed the Schicksal maid. Rita is known as a humble and polite individual. Befitting her role as a maid, she radiates grace and elegance wherever she goes. Rita is also caring to those around her and will always note of their likes and dislikes.
But underneath her exterior, Rita is an efficient spy and assassin working under Otto who wont hesitate to kill in order to complete her goals, though she will only do it in the name of the mission. Nevertheless, Rita is a kind person who will always save lives whenever she can despite her more violent method in solving problems.
Rita is from Manchester, so I am open to British accents! However, it is not required.

[Rita greeting Fu Hua. Rita's intentions are unknown, but the way she speaks is almost eerie]
Ah, how annoying. Time to clean this place up. After all, Durandal really likes it clean. But first of all, welcome back, Master Fu Hua. Good work taking care of that Judgment Class-Honkai Beast. Would you like a cup of tea?
[In a Cooking with Valkyries episode, which is more lighthearted than the main story. Rita is talking with Mei about cooking]
The most important thing in cooking is to properly convey your heartfelt feelings to the recipient — I agree with your sentiments, Miss Mei, but to me... "perfection" is how I convey my feelings.
[Rita is about to deal a killing blow to Murata Himeko, a fellow valkyrie]
Allow me to deal the coup de grace*.
(*French- ku də ɡʁɑs or coo dehh gras)
Kallen Kaslana was born in 1453. She was the most powerful among her fellow valkyries in her era and was Otto Apocalypse's first love interest but she did not return to his feelings. It was not until 1477 that Kallen deviated from the Order of the Knights when she saw the inhuman experiments of Schicksal. She stole the experiment and ran away to the East where she was wounded and found by Yae Sakura. The two became friends and formed an intimate relationship, but Yae became a pseudo-Herrscher due to the influence of the experiment.
After fighting with the Will of the Honkai and sealing her beloved away, Kallen was seriously wounded. The Fatal Intelligence Unit soon caught up to Kallen and apprehended her and brought her back to the European Council. She professed her love to Yae, and that she was innocent. Regardless, she was sentenced to death for her betrayal. Otto Apocalypse released Honkai beasts on the day of her execution in a final attempt to save her, not wanting to see her die. Kallen slapped Otto for acting reckless and stayed behind to protect the innocent civilians, before being killed by a Honkai beast as she was still weakened.

[Kallen has come across the Church's unethical experiments. She is outraged and betrayed]
You lie! We already have the plague cure! Making the cure only requires a few herbs, and you don't need to perform tests on little girls!
[Kallen is sealing Yae alongside the Herrscher that awoke with her]
Sealing you is the least I could do for you. I'm sorry, Sakura.
[Kallen is happily sitting with Yae under a sakura tree, trying the tea that Yae prepared]
So the cherry blossoms were freshly picked?
Siegfried is a kind and driven person, with little respect for authority or order. Otto Apocalypse often criticized Siegfried for being a “loose cannon”, Though, Siegfried doesn’t see this as a flaw.
Siegfried loves his wife Cecilia and child Kiana very dearly, and holds them closer than anything else. He didn’t want to fight in the 2nd Honkai war, but did so to prevent his family from being in danger. He also kept a close eye on K-423 throughout her life, supporting her where he could.
For lack of a better descriptor, Siegfried is a major himbo.

[Siegfried and Cecilia are on one of their first dates. Cecilia wants to spend more time with him, but has to go back to Schickshal]
Yeah. I know all about that "base." They can be a real pain in the butt. People used to lock me up in a stupid house. That gave me plenty of experience and ninja skills for breaking out of places.
[Siegfried's Honkai genes are activating, turning him into a psuedo-monster human]
Hngh! The pain in my head is killing me... What the hell is going on?!
[Siegfried is cooking with his daughter. He is showing her a genius way to cut onions- with your eyes closed]
Alright baby doll. I'll teach you a super secret Kaslana Technique. Just cut onions with your eyes closed, so they don't burn! Genius, right?
AAHH! My finger! It's bleeding! IT'S BLEEDING!
