Intro ༄༅༅
Hello! This is the casting call for the pilot episode of "Deepwater Isles". We are looking for various voices for the main cast of characters, though if your voice doesn't fit what we have in mind for a character but does fit the tone of the show, you may be asked to provide line for background roles. All roles are in the English language.
Plot Overview ༄༅༅
This story is about a young boy name Kesko who lives on a small island named Aquiri. This island is part of the Deepwater isles, islands all located atop a giant magic crystal that emerged from deep in the ocean. These crystals cover the crust of the planet, giving life to all the creatures that live in its waters.
The crystal of the isles is the largest crystal that is visible to humans and seems to cause the Deepwater isles’s unique plant life. Many people have tried to figure out what is at the very bottom of the ocean but have yet to reach deep enough, mostly due to the more dangerous the creatures are in the midnight zone.
None of this is really much concern for the Aquiri resident Kesko, though. All he wants to do is sail across the world with his mentor, Captain Crabdivr. He loves to fish and adventure and that’s all he could ever imagine himself doing. Finding something previously undiscovered had never once crossed his mind until one particularly hot morning where he finds something strange floating in the water.

Kesko is a rather energetic twelve year old kid and a talented fisher from the town of Aquiri. He can be rather impulsive with his decisions and once he has decided he will not back down. He idolizes Captain Crabdivr and wanted to be a sailor like him until he found a strange creature that changed his dreams. He is determined to discover what lurks deep down in the midnight zone.
Voice notes: energetic, expressive, vibrant
Voice claims: Tulin from legend of zelda, Ekko from arcane s1
Crabdivr!! Are you getting ready to go on a voyage? Take me with you!!!
Do you.. Do you understand me? How? Can you talk?
Wait Momma! It's probably eaten nothing but fish it's whole life!! Do we have anything else to eat?
Melko is a very strange creature. Nobody has been able to identify it as any known species, but since it seems harmless nobody really cares. Presumably around the same age as Kesko. It is very smart and catches onto things very quickly. It tends to mimic the mannerisms of its newfound friend, Kesko. It has no memory of its life before washing up on the beach.
Voice notes: raspy, hesitant on new/big words, mimics Kesko’s voice expressions
Voice claims: Crona from Soul Eater, the collector from the owl house
I can't… Remember. I can't remember anything. I don't know who I am..
This place smells… nice. So many smells. Can we smell everything?
Why can't you stay underwater? It's gotta be harder to catch food when you're in that thing.
Momma is Kesko's mother. She works at the market with her own stand to sell produce she grows and any extra fish caught by Kesko during his morning fishing trips. She is well liked by the community because of how kind she is. She wants nothing more than to support her son’s ambitions but still can't help but worry about him.
Voice notes: sweet, soothing, reassuring(?)
Voice claims: Moomin mama from the moomins
Don't stay out too long, dear! You could overheat on a day like this!
(sighs) I'll see what I have left in the garden, but you two will have to wait a little longer to eat.
Maybe you two should talk to the captain. He probably has an in with some of the teachers in Haylor!
Crabdivr is famous in the isles for being one of few people to ever leave the isles. He is from Haylor city but eventually moved to Aquiri to enjoy small town comforts. He's very kind and loves to teach people about the ocean and marine life. Kesko is his only “student” currently.
Voice notes: raspy, Scottish
Voice claims:
Hey Kesko! What exciting thing do you have going on that brings out in this heat?
Please, your mother would kill me if I let you come out at sea with me. Maybe when you're older.
Whoa! Who's your friend there, Kesko?
Kascen is Crabdivr's ex husband and ex work partner. He used to be a famous sailor alongside his ex husband, but now stays at land working as the headmaster of Haylor University and as the head of the EMZ project (exploration of the midnight zone). He wants to be the one taking the recognition for finding out what's down there and making it his. He doesn't care what has to happen for him to reach his goal.
Voice notes: Smooth, British
Voice claims:
What is he doing here... Never thought he'd come back.
Is that so? In that case- Fion? Why don't you go give my old friend a warm welcome..
Finally something is going my way..
Fion is Kascen's right hand man in the EMZ and is mainly instructed to stop any competition and steal any advancements they make before it gets out. They are a skilled diver and has made it deeper into the ocean the most others. They occasionally get too into their destructive work and cause problems that Kascen has to fix, but has yet to get actually in trouble due to favouritism. Something is very off about them.
Vote notes: Raspy, energetic, voice cracks
Voice claims:
Hehe.. What's this?
Kascennn~ I saw something I think you'd like to know about..
Whatever you say, boss.
Soral used to teach young divers at Haylor University until his personal research made him competition for Kascen. He was removed from the University. He still continues his research in secret, occasionally sneaking back into the university to steal his old equipment or findings. He is very talkative and a jokester, which sometimes pisses people off.
Voice notes: expressive
Voice claims: Keith from Voltron
Whoa! Crabdiver? Man I haven't seen you in years! Are these your kids?
Oh- uh... No.. I don't teach there anymore. Kascen made me leave.
My arm? Oh shit where did it go?! Haha! Just kidding. Its been gone awhile.
Tilly is the smartest 8 (almost 9) year old on the Isles. This is according to her though, so who really knows. She is part of a child prodigy program hosted by Haylor University and specifically dreams of becoming part of the EMZ project as a lead researcher. She wants to know everything about the ocean as possible. She's always seen with a ridiculously large book in her face.
Voice notes: sarcastic
Voice claims: toph from avatar the last airbender
Stop right there, Kesko! You've got a lot of explaining to do!
You don't know? Ugh. Of course not.
Wait!! Come back!!! Don't ignore me!!
