When Terry, a late teen office worker discovered a team of ninjas raiding his job at night, he encountered Shiro Fox. A beautiful, mysterious and whimsical fox thief who is here to save everyone from the ruthless Okami Ninja Gang, but steal the same jewel they were after.
Since then, she and Terry go on in various adventures around the world and other dimensions to explore and steal some valuable items in their adventures.
Created by the same team that brought you "The Spectre: Protector of Memphis" and "The Stupid Reviews" It's a series that has the weird fantasy adventures of Doctor Who, and the wacky and sexy adventures of Lupin III
Shiro Fox is a quirky, Cat (or in her case a Fox) burglar. Far from the usual seductress, she’s more like your cool aunt. She’s spunky, has an optimistic attitude that might be hiding something deeper under the surface.
Her personality is cross between Catwoman (if you downplay the seduction & up the playfulness), Mary Poppins, and The 4th Doctor (From Doctor Who)
The voice is similar to Eda from "The Owl House" or Ryoko from "Tenchi Muyo but with a UK English accent.
[Disappointed]
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Taken out by a stapler. This is what happens when you skip the lectures on how to defend yourself against rogue office supplies.
[Notices Terry]
Ah, there you are. Glad you were here to assist, Mr…?
[Perky]
Oooh! So sorry, how very rude of me! I’m Shiro. I’m what you call “A mistress of the hunt”. Oh, pardon me for a tic.
[Getting up from the wall After a Henchmen shoves her, acts aloof and perky:]
Ooo, and I just LOVE your bodyguards! They're so violent and inefficient. I should have one.
[Notices the leader pointing a gun towards her head, still maintains casual talk:]
Right one of those… Where are my manners? Terry? Satoshi. Satoshi? Terry…. Of course, I just ASSUME your name is Satoshi. It just fits, for some reason, it carries this elegant air about you.
[Sits on a cushy office wheelchair]
May I have a seat? I have to say, what wonderful office space atmosphere we have here.
[To one of the ninja]
Ooh, could I get a Dr. Pepper for me and my sweaty friend here?
Terry is his down on his luck late teenager. His dad's an out of touch dork, his new (used) car is still under repairs and he had not much luck for it, and he works at a dead end office space job.
One day he encounter the ever exciting and talent Shiro Fox as she entered his life and drags him along to her amazing adventures as a companion.
Terry is neurotic, cowardly, but has an underlined righteous sense of responsibility and helps others in need. Even going as far as to give away the last bit of money to help a woman he just met to get a sandwich. He can insecure about his self and does selfish acts to look "cool" or "impressive" towards his co-workers, friends and his father,
the basis I want with his voice be similar to Ilan Mitchell-Smith from the film "Weird Science" but I'm giving you full creative range of his accent, and personality to make the character your own and beyond.
[Annoyed internal monologue]
Ain’t life a kick in the pants? Today was supposed to be my day off! A day to unwind, to reflect on my life choices… to NOT deal with “Tails Towers” for 24 beautiful hours! ...but, gotta do what the boss-man says “Get your ass over here or your fired!”
[Out loud, in shock]
Laaaay-deeee!?
[Speechless internal, almost in a "Jerry Lewis" like tone]
Lady! Pretty lady! Nice lady with the coat of fur and the dress of black! Pretty in face for all to see!
[Exhausted internally]
There’s no way today actually happened, right? Fox ladies, ninjas… ugh! Maybe I’m just working too hard… I just need sleep. Yeah, that’s it. I just need sleep. And when I wake up, everything will be just as it always be.
Okami Ninjas. They're loyal henchmen for the Okami leader.
Must speak fluent Japanese with English dialogue that is translated from Japanese. Simply read the line but in Japanese.
‘Capture the fool! He has seen too much!’
‘And now death shall become you, foolish whelp!’
‘Perhaps our leader was mistaken.’
The Okami leader. The first antagonist for this story. They're a wolf yokai in a form of a sophisticated human.
They give an air of cold arrogance but underlined a since of fierce rage of a wolf.
The vocal should be a cool, proper tone. The villain is currently has no gender [at the time of writing] but whoever gets the role, will have their gender be identified as such.
Your attempt to undermine me and my hunters is amusingly pleasant.
[Coldly]:
Enough! You, vixen, have pursued me for too long, trying to deny me my destiny of owning what is rightfully mine!
[Angry]:
Grrr! You belittle my destiny and now waste my time with nonsense! You have exactly 60 seconds to tell me why I should not allow my minions to put you both out of my misery.
Harold is Terry's close friend and co-worker at his terrible office job. insecure, soft-spoken, and all around pushover who is ignored despite trying his best to speak his mind (if he haven't got an troublesome stutter). He seems to be a nice guy--but I highly suggest not knowing what he does on Sunday nights.
His voice and character is inspired by. Milton from the film, "Office Space".
A-and I just wish that for once, JUST ONCE, they’d stop moving my desk around! It’s already been tossed around like eight times this month! I swear, sometimes I ought to just take that letter opener on the shelf and-
[Still distressed--defeated after being told what to do by his boss]
...okay ...okay, okay, I’ll do it…
[Cryptically]
...but I hope you weren’t too fond of your tires, Geraldine.
But I’ve-I’ve-I’ve been moved 8 times, and Mr. Evans still hasn’t returned my pen, and I wanted to keep my--
Geraldine is the sickeningly sweet manager at Terry's Office Job. Despite wanting to please everyone, she basically a manipulative boss in sheep's clothing. Micromanaging everything Terry does, bossing them around in that pleasant but condescending motherly voice that can get on one's nerves.
She sounds like a woman in her 30s or 40s from Minnesota who's tone has an air of "privilege" in that tone of voice.
[Passive aggressively]
Oooooh… yeeaaahhh, see, Mr. Evans kinda prefers it when it’s written in Courier New.
[still sounding passive aggressively]:
Yeeaaaahhhh, but seeeee, he said that Courier New looks more OFFICIAAAL. Soooo, if you could just go ahead and re-type the whole thing in Courier New, that’d be Sugar Honey-licious. M’kay?
[Faux sweetness]
Oh, aren’t you just as sweet as a lemon square dipped in maple syrup? Oh, and Harold, we need your desk space for our new photocopier, so could you be a lamb and just move your stuff to the cubical all the way in the back?
