Artist Update!
Just a quick update that I'm now offering payment for thumbnail artists and background artists if that interests anybody!
Nameless Son is a disciple of the Elementals who was born without magic. An usual connection to the Elemental of dreams sends him on a journey to defeat Chaos and bring back Balance, the old king. All may not be as it seems, though, and Nameless Son may be forced to reconsider everything he believes in.
Just a quick update that I'm now offering payment for thumbnail artists and background artists if that interests anybody!
Just a quick update that I've been working on show concepts and have nailed down the artstyle that I'm looking for! I'll begin animation for the trailer shortly!
First off, thank you so much for even considering helping! An animated series is a big project, and it would be incredible to not have to do this alone! If you want to help, please give me a link to some art examples! You must be able to draw cats. I can provide references for characters upon giving you the job. You can help as little or as much as you want! You can be there for the whole series or storyboard one shot. Either way, you are so appreciated!
*Say something you think would fit*
First off, you already have my eternal gratitude for even considering helping out! This is a very big project, and I'm already doing all of the animation on my own, so having somebody else to do the episode or promo thumbnails would be so helpful to me! You can sign up for one thumbnail or more if you feel you have the time! Please be able to draw cats and link me your art examples!
*Say something you think would fit*
Thank you so much for considering helping out with backgrounds! As I'm doing all of the animation by myself, it would be so helpful for anybody to be able to do the backgrounds! I'd prefer the same person do all of them, at least across each episode, so that the show can feel consistent.
*Say something you think would fit*
Firstly, I have no idea how long audio editing takes. If this is a horrible underestimation/underpayment, let me know and I can fix it! Anyways, I need soomebody to do the audio for the first episode. This will include music, SFX, and editing the VAs lines into that. I'm not great with sound design, so help would be super appreciated!

Nameless Son is the main character of the show. He will appear in every episode and have quite a few lines. He is often tired, and doesn't care much about most things. This role should not have very much emotion, but be sure your lines aren't entirely flat.
I'll get up in a moment, Sister. Dream won't be here 'till afternoon.
No. I'm not chosen or special, and I'm certainly not about to leave my home because of a dream.
You can't just give yourself a name! It has to be given by the Elementals. How do you know that you're worthy?
Nameless Daughter is a main character and only appears in almost every episode. She is excitable and curious. Although she's usually pleasant, she's prone to mood swings. She talks very loudly.
Come on, Brother! She'll be here any moment!
YOU were visited by an Elemental? (Pouty and jealous)
Please let me come with you! This is what I've been waiting for my entire life!
Dream is a major character and will appear in most episodes. Dream is mysterious and heartbroken. Her voice is tired. She should talk with some gravity, as if she's important.
You remind me of them... you both could see straight through my act.
My son, you must. You may be our last hope.
I feel calmer now that you're near me... strange.
Spirit is a minor character and will not appear often. Spirit is already dead, their physical form gone. They gave up a chance at an afterlife to help the Elementals. They're incredibly selfless to a dangerous degree, giving up more than they have. They'll do anything to help somebody else, for better or worse.
ROLE TAKEN BY IRL FRIEND
Wake up, son. It's not your time, not yet.
I'm so sorry, Dream. They aren't there.
I can commune with the ghosts. Is there anybody you want to speak to?
Chaos is a major character and will have many lines. Chaos' voice actor must have range. His tone can range from jovial and lighthearted, villainous, depressed, and heavy crying. He is a prankster who enjoys jokes.
Don't leave me! I may not survive! (Not serious, overly dramatic)
I can't let you pass through here, small one.
Order? Are you there? (Crying as he says this)
Balance is a major character and will have a lot of lines. Balance is calm and put together. He never shows emotion in his tone besides light amusement.
Thank you for freeing me, child.
My brothers know nothing.
Yes, my appearance has changed through the years. It means nothing.
Reality is a minor role and will not appear often. Reality represents everything that is real, and as such is often sick, hurt, and depressed. Reality can be harsh sometimes. They can shut off any other Elemental's powers.
PART BELONGS TO ART
Don't worry, Dearest. I'll see you on the other side, okay?
I serve the true king, Chaos. Now what do you want from me?
*Violent coughing*
Portal is a minor character and will only appear in a few episodes. He is anxious and scared of most things. He has a bit of a dark side, and is jealous of the other Elementals. He's still good-hearted, though, despite caring about himself above all else.
Balance, please! I want you to consider what you're doing.
Time? Are you... alright?
I'm afraid I can't help you, child. Using my powers could cause a great amount of destruction.
Time is a minor character and only appears in a few episodes. He is in constant pain, and his voice should come across a bit strained and distracted. He isn't passionate about much, but can end up crying from the agony he's in.
Oh, he's here. Is this before or after he dies?
Hold on just a moment. The world's being destroyed in the future.
You don't understand. Nobody does.
Galaxy is a minor character and will not have many lines. Galaxy is non-binary. They are a carefree Elemental who is fine with whatever the world throws at them. They're typically happy and pleasant.
Someday, I'll be reborn and so will you. Why not enjoy ourselves now?
Oh, I can show you so much more than that.
Come with me, my son.
Healing is a secondary character and will appear often. She is excitable and a hopeless romantic. She loves to have fun and is very caring. That doesn't mean she isn't hiding her own pain, though!
No, you're hurt. Let me see.
Of course we're coming! What monster would make you face Chaos alone?
Who, me? I'm alright. (Clearly not alright.)
Fire is a minor character and will not often appear. He is exactly what he sounds like, fiery and ambitious. He's very protective of those he loves, especially Water, and will do anything to help them. He can be very violent, and often enjoys fighting.
Don't talk to them! If you have something to say, you can say it to me.
Please. You wouldn't hurt a fly.
Don't touch me.
Water is a minor role and will not appear often. Water is your typical hippie, going wherever the tide leads them. They don't enjoy violence and value all lives, including those of animals.
Could we all just calm down? I'm sure he didn't mean anything.
You see this river? Just like life, you can't control where it goes... well, I can, but that's not the point.
Nah, I don't think that's for me. Thanks for the offer, though, kid.
Nature is a minor role and won't appear often. She is always calm and collected, but is a fierce defender of all things natural. In her mind, everything has its place, and it's her job to keep them that place at any cost.
Isn't it beautiful? Everything as it should be... except you.
You don't belong here, do you? I'm afraid I can't let you pass.
Careful, now. You almost stepped on that ant.
Air is a minor role and won't appear often. She is ditsy and air headed, often unaware of what's going on around her. She likely needs a caretaker to avoid getting hurt.
Hm? What'd you say?
Oops! When'd that tree get there?
Hello, new friend!
Metal is a minor role and will not appear often. They are violent and emotionless. Feel free to put some sort of robot filter over your voice!
Hello, creature.
I am not capable of hurt.
State your name and purpose.
Electricity is a minor character and won't appear often. He's your typical mean girl, and a total brat. She's rude to everyone besides Ice, who he adores. Her tone is usually condesending.
Of course you are, sweetie.
Nameless? I'm shocked. (Sarcastic)
Just wait right here, okay? (Genuine)
Ice is a minor character and won't appear often. She's a preteen child who is incredibly curious, often to a dangerous extent. She's overconfident in herself.
PART TAKEN BY SALLY
Hey! Stay away from my brother!
Hi! I'm Ice! Can we be friends?
I'm old enough to go with you! I can use my powers already!
Poison is a secondary character and will appear often. He is very depressed and tired. He always feels a bit sickly, despite that being impossible due to his power.
Healing? I don't want to go in there.
Don't thank me. She made me save you.
*Coughing*
Dark and Light are minor characters and will not appear often. Dark and Light will share the same voice actor with a filter over Dark's voice. They are siblings who bicker constantly. Light acts calm and mature, but easily resorts into petty insults. Dark is clever, often hitting where it hurts the most.
You idiot. Just give him the directions. (Light)
Stop being like that! Everyone knows you only act this way for attention! Just because Mother didn't love you doesn't mean you get to be a brat! (Dark)
Of course I can help. After all, I'm not pure evil like some other people. (Light)
Rest is a minor character and will not appear often. Rest is always tired and wants a nap. He yawns in the middle of his sentences often.
Hm? Where are ya goin'?
C'mon, Energy. Just... lay down a second.
You're tired, Son. Let me help.
Sound is a minor character and will not appear often. The main thing of importance for this voice actor is volume, and preferably being able to display emotion while yelling. The louder the better! Sound never shuts up and never whispers.
Huh? I didn't hear you!
Hi! Hello, what's your name?
I have to do everything for you, huh? Fine! This is Silence, my connection.
Energy is a minor role and will not appear often. Energy is the definition of surviving off of only Red bull. Rumor has it he hasn't slept in years. He's always bouncing off the walls and talking incredibly quickly.
I will literally never sleep. Or shut up. Wanna go on a walk with me?
Come on, idiot. Wake up! I'm bored!
Can I come with you? A journey is just what I need!
Gravity is a minor role and will not appear often. Gravity is very down to earth and serious. He's always looking for the logical solution, and refuses to accept anything that he can't see.
Hello, little one. What brings you here?
And so young, too... a shame.
Where to next, dearest?
Life is a minor role and won't appear often. She is full of life and spirit, energetic and spry. Despite being very old, she sounds and acts young. She wants to experience everything that life has to offer!
Oh! You're alive! It worked!
You must be careful. You only have any hour left.
Have some team spirit! Heh, get it?
Earth is a minor character and will not appear often. Earth is very macho with a deep voice. He's a bully and incredibly strong. He loves using his strength against others, but has no desire to really hurt anybody.
Hey! What are you doing here, nameless brat?
Of course I'm stronger than you. What'd you expect?
Can we speed up the pace a bit?
Order is a minor character and doesn't appear often. She's pretty calm unless something seems out of place. She's a neat freak and is kind to everybody.
You're far too dramatic, Chaos. I promise you'll survive. It's just one night.
Hello, your majesty. If I can be asked, what have I been called for?
*Pained screaming*
Nameless Sister is bitter and spiteful. She's always wanted to be loved, but nobody can put up with her long enough due to her habit of trying to drive them away. This makes her more resentful, and in turn drive more cats away. It's a cycle.
What are you doing here?
We don't get many travelers around here and I prefer it that way.
Fine, stay if you must.
Nameless Sibling is a minor role and doesn't appear often. They are a small cat who makes up for it with a big personality. They're always trying to pick a fight, but they are practically useless in a battle.
Hey! This is my territory!
I am the leader of you now, so proclaimed the great Elementals.
Yeah? You wanna fight me?
Nameless Brother is a minor role and will not appear often. He is a very flamboyant man, desperate to impress anybody he can. He considers himself very attractive, and is a massive flirt. His exploits typically annoy those around him rather than impress, though.
I am going to absolutely DAZZLE you.
Of course. Right this way, gorgeous.
I love you, too, Dearest.
Nameless Brother is a minor role and will not appear often. He is a small, cunning cat who loves using his intelligence for menial things. He's quite lazy, and anything that makes his life slightly easier he will dedicate days to.
I despise everything about you.
Oh yeah? Let's see if I'm still "smug" when I'm shredding your pelt!
Absolutely not. Have fun on your idiotic journey.
Cecilia is a minor role and will not appear often. She is desperate to wield power over others so that she can force them to be her friend. She isn't the most pleasant, and has a difficult time making friends. She's very closed off.
I rule these regions. You better have a good explanation for why you're here.
Cross through quickly.
Are you sure you don't want to stay? You could be my first subject!
Soren is a minor character and won't appear often. Soren is a traveler who refuses to bow to anybody. He sees himself as smarter than everybody else for refusing to worship the Elementals or follow their rules.
What brings you to these parts, traveler?
I decide my own fate, young one. The Elementals don’t get to decide whether I’m worthy of anything.
I’ve been out here years and I’ve never met anybody quite like you. (Not a compliment)
Whisper is a minor role and will not appear often. She is soft and anxious, scared of most things. She doesn't like attention or company and speaks quietly.
My father named me. He wasn't much for the rules.
Do you want to stay a while? (Tone of voice clearly implying they don't want him to stay)
Good luck on your journey, then. I'll be... here.
Please let me know if this is an underpayment! I have no idea how audio design works! Anyways, I need somebody to do sound design for the trailer of the show. This will include SFX, music, and editing the VAs lines together!
*Say something you think would fit*
First off, so sorry if my time estimates were way off. My animation goes pretty fast, but I'm not sure how long it takes most. Let me know if I need to change it. Anyways, I'm looking for somebody to make an anime style intro for the series. Length is flexible. I can make a script or leave it up to your imagination. Please link examples. You must be able to style match and animate cats.
