The Heir of Time: Pilot
Project Overview
What is The Heir of Time?
The Heir of Time is going to be an animated sci-fi, fantasy series where we follow a group of heroes as they adventure through a post-war galaxy plagued by corruption, suffering, and maybe...just a little bit of hope.
The Heir of Time blends whimsical fantasy and hard sci-fi in order to make a thought-provoking story with a variety of themes along with a mystical, dangerous universe that constantly surprises you throughout. When The Heir of Time was originally envisioned back in late 2020, we could never have imagined that we'd be reaching the heights that we have now. The team has grown exponentially to 12+ passionate, hard-working individuals. Our team hosts a lot of talent such as editors, composers, voice actors, directors and so much more.
Requirements:
- If Voice Acting, a quality microphone with little to no background noise
- Do at least 3 takes for every line.
- If voice acting, you are allowed to use editing on your voice (Voice filter/modification) but you must have a clear, unfiltered voice in your audition alongside it.
- Most roles will be that of Young Adults to Middle Age. So please audition within appropriate voice range. 13+ Only | 17+.
- Ability to get work tasked to you done in a timely manner.
- Willing to take criticism and have flexibility to do any redo's necessary.
- A simple means of communication via social media ie. Discord
- This is intended to be a LONG TERM project spanning multiple episodes and possibly seasons

Character Backstory:
At the far reaches of the Frontier Star System, a young elven woman dreams of a future far beyond the confinements of her small-town life. After taking a leap of faith, Sel finds that her dreams may just come true--along with the consequences of meddling in Galactic politics and ancient powers far beyond anything she could have ever imagined. For Sel to forge a future for herself and her friends, she'll need to adjust to an ever-changing universe where the concept of "heroes" is nothing more than a cautionary tale. Luckily, the galaxy wasn't anticipating her, either.
Personality:
When in battle, Sel's true self comes out, and her unwavering self-confidence is apparent in her abilities, fighting style, and demeanor. Her real test lies outside the battlefield, where she looks over her shoulder in a near-constant state of paranoia. Sel deeply cares about her public image and wants to prove herself as something more than a small-town girl: A Hero.

[In-Battle]
"Sooooo slow! Missed me! This must be SO embarrassing for you!"
"I don't know what's worse: Your aim, or that I'm barely trying!"
[Boasting/Ambitious]
"You haven't even seen a FRACTION of what I can do!"
"I'll be up there one day. Just you wait."
[Panicked]
"We shouldn't linger here any longer than we have to. Please, let's just go."

Character Backstory:
Years after a devastating war left the galaxy in shambles, Zac, a rookie soldier for the Xalgorian Military is stationed within the Frontier Star System to monitor any signs of hostility from the Elven military. Unbeknownst to him, other factions plot and scheme behind the scenes, awaiting the return of war. One day, Zac may need to decide whether his loyalties lie with his species or his friends. For now, though, he'd be happy just for something interesting to break up the monotony of his daily routine. Be careful what you wish for.
Personality:
Zac is the everyman, generally striving to do good where he can to support his species. Where Sel is more confident on the battlefield than off, Zac prefers to stay away from gunfights as much as possible, and may just cut and run if he feels he's in over his head. However, what he lacks in courage he makes up for in creative problem-solving and general charisma.

"We need to get out of here. Right. NOW!"
"You want to fight them? Are you crazy or suicidal!? Actually, don't answer that."
[Attempting to avoid conflict.]
"C'mon fellas, it's just a couple of weapons, nothing worth dying over. We can all walk out of here alive and, preferably, at a minimum ten-mile distance from one another, huh?"
"Woah, alright take it easy. We don't want any trouble. We'll get out of your hair, which looks great by the way and we'll call it a wrap on the pirate standoff. Sound good?"
[Heroic]
"No. We've been running from these guys for weeks. I think it's time to take a stand, see if we can't get ourselves in any more trouble."
"No one else dies here today. We move fast, stay clear from the line of sight, and hit them where it hurts. Got it? Good. Then let's do something we're going to regret."
