What is WONDERCORD?
WONDERCORD is a multimedia project with an upcoming animated series that follows the journey of ten characters navigating an unfamiliar world they find themselves trapped in. Dividing into two teams, they explore unique game worlds and gather batteries to power a portal-location device to get back home.
Each episode is an immersive experience, where the animation style changes to mirror the chosen genre. For example, the RPG world will lean into a classic, nostalgic "pixel-art" sprite art style. The characters will embody the distinct skills of classic RPG games, and with their teamwork, each new challenge brings a mission to tactfully accomplish. The series is full of suspenseful moments, heart-wrenching stories, and fun dynamic characters to follow.

Hello everyone! Thank you all so much for all the auditions for our sweet boy Orion, you all did so wonderful! Myself and the rest of the casting team have selected a small group of finalists, so if you haven't been DM'd yet, I'm sorry, but you will not be selected for Orion.
But don't give up just yet! We have a few more open spaces to fill, one main character, and a few background characters. The deadline for these roles is October 10th, so send your auditions in. Thank you!!

Bio: Doom is the quiet, loner type of the Spark Bugs team. Doom had a normal life growing up with dreams of becoming a famous actor, until tragedy struck and he lost his parents in a mysterious accident, completely shifting the course of his life. He was then adopted by his best friend Felix McGern’s family, but he couldn’t let go of the past. Desperate to try and get his life back to normal, Doom took on a part time job at a coffee shop in order to save some money to afford going to Crossroads University, his dream college with an esteemed theatre program. However, word on the street is he dabbles in some shady business on the side…
Personality: Doom is incredibly arrogant and has a bit of a temper, but he most often hides it under a guise of composed, cool indifference. After losing his family at such a young age, he became very detached from people, worrying that making strong connections will only lead to more heartbreak, so he tries to stay aloof. Unfortunately for him, the theatre group becomes like another family to him, and while most people don’t see it, he can be a lot more relaxed around friends. Doom knows how to have fun, and he does show kindness, just don’t expect it to become a routine.
(curt and standoffish) “Name’s Doom. Yes, you heard me right. You probably recognize me from Coco-Twirl… and I don’t really do socializing outside of work hours, so run along now.”
(excitable, switching to nostalgic and guarded) “Hm? The new Immortal Battles game is out?? Ahaha! Felix and I used to kill at that game! … but… that was a long time ago. I don’t really have time for games anymore.”
irritated and overwhelmed) “God… Vida will not… shut… up…Why does she think I’m interested in how her little fashion show went? I don’t get why she has the urge to talk to me all the damn time… just because we have a club together does not make us ‘best friends’.”
Vida is a lively and passionate photographer with a love for special effects and fashion. Her work is remarkable, but her sassy demeanor and perfectionist nature makes teamwork hard for her. She uses her talents for the studio club, working close with Naoki, her idol. With a pure heart and good intentions, she acts with everyone’s best in mind, making her a reliable support for survival. She’s always around to offer a shoulder to cry on, trying to maintain order while getting along with people.
(supportive) "Something going wrong is guaranteed with stage work. We've got enough hands on deck to make sure everyone's fine. Now quit stressing!"
(irritated) "Excuse me?! Oh I DARE you to say that again!"
(excited, proud) "Oh my god, you look SO good! I am SO great at my job!"
Orion is a passionate, caring, excitable goofball with a love for baseball, astronomy, and star gazing. It’s in his nature to protect and care for others, and he’ll always do what he can to help, even if it’s to his detriment. This applies particularly to his narcoleptic introverted best friend and roommate, Lucas. His focus on making friends and having fun has allowed him to experience a lot of new things, helping him stay engaged and entertained. Orion is the leader of one of the two teams in WONDERCORD, so he will play a prominent role in the story.
(optimistic) “A new change of pace to really brighten up our routine! That’s what we both needed!”
(nervous, trying to avoid conflict) “Uh, I was just looking for a place to study for a while, but if you two are busy, I can go somewhere else.”
(calling out, turns panicked) “LUCAS? LUCAS ARE YOU HOME? Oh my god he’s not here- what if he got kidnapped? Or worse- went outside alone!?”
Need some background characters filled in!
(confused, uninterested) "Dude I have no idea who you're talking about."
(confused, a bit shocked) "Um. what is this play supposed to be about again?"
Need some background characters filled in!
(excited) "Did you hear? THE Idol pop star sensation Naoki Azuma (NEIGH-O-KEY AH-ZOO-MA) is gonna be in the show!"
(fangirling) "I LOVE YOU NAOKI!!!"
Need some background characters filled in!
(confused, offended) "Is THIS what our tax dollars go towards?"
(heckling) "Get back to the show!"
