BARONESS NEW CHARACTERS AND RECASTS
Project Overview
In a world without superheroes, the world is gifted a hero after many years under a chaotic villain rule. Lily Hudgens becomes the Baroness, makes many allies and faces many foes.
Hello! I am Donovan Denny and I am the director, lead artist, and lead writer of Baroness! I've been working on this project for well over 2 years and am finally able to tell this story. You can be a part of Baroness too! Just take a look below and look at the rules for engagement that I have outlined.
1. Don't leak secret information to the public about the project. It's a small project, but if it blows up and a detail about a villain in late late phase two gets found, we're all screwed.
2. A decent microphone and sound quality is required for entry. I don't want to have to have my animator lip-sync weird-sounding audio. Also ANNUNCIATE as best as you can.
3. If you are rejected, don't take it personally! We might have more auditions later on that you can try out for!
4. Don't attack others for what might be a fantastic or terrible performance, everybody is at different levels of skill here so please just treat others with kindness!
5. You must link a Discord or Email on your audition so I can contact you.
When you are logged in, you can comment, add submissions, create projects, upvote, search open roles, and way more. Login here.

I’m just surrendering myself to a life of being the one that everyone thinks eats babies. And I’m honestly flattered that they went that far…
Hugh, I swear to god if you even start I’ll pluck your eyes out with a fork.
Yeah, I’d like an explanation very much, almost as much as I’d like a Coke right now.
The most esteemed and well-known fashionista in the city, Viggo De Gauthier became bored with designing just dresses and suits so he took on another challenge, designing supersuits.

Julius Kingsley, unlike his now partner in crime, always had a hefty allowance of $1,000 a week. As a boy he would use his wealth to buy himself heaps and heaps of chocolate, resulting in his large size as a man. In his teenage years, he would become the envy of every boy and the love of every girl. Eventually, Julius would inherit the car-making company his father started called King Corps. With his company backing him with millions and millions of dollars, Julius used the money to shift his company’s initial product from making cars and other modes of transportation to weapons of mass destruction and takeover.
