The sequel to Halo: Deactivation. Set during Halo Infinite's conflict on Zeta Halo, UNSC forces must regroup to thwart Banished efforts to utilize the ringworld. This installment expounds on the previous animation, adding more characters and delving into their relationships with each other as well as more insight on the Banished forces they are in conflict.
This is a stop-motion animation mini-series with certain characters recurring. Due to the nature of the production, turnaround time on its completion once all final lines have been submitted by cast members will not be quick. Please bear that in mind.
Born on Reach near Visegrad, Nathalia suffered through the Human/Covenant war since New Alexandria, having to watch her homeworld be reduced to molten glass by The Fleet of Particular Justice. Now stranded on Zeta Halo, she seeks to aid the Human survivors in defeating The Banished. Though more reserved around strangers, she is quite sociable among familiar company. A kind individual, yet definitely someone who can stand up for herself. Despite them having aided in the extermination of her family, Nathalia is not opposed to working alongside friendly Sangheili such as Thelmar Zekamai.
[A fellow Marine opens a chest of equipment and rummages through it. You observe and make your inquiry]
(Normal voice per voice talent, but slightly hopeful)
“Any rifle ammo perchance?”
[The fellow Marine is going through the items as a child would with Christmas presents]
(slightly teasing)
“You’re like a kid in a candy store, Brock.”
[Using a sniper rifle scope you are reconning an area held by Banished forces]
(normal voice)
“Two Brutes, a Jackal, and a Grunt. Must’ve come in on a Prowler.”
Initially following the ways of The Covenant, Thelmar now fights alongside The Arbiter and his Swords of Sangheilios. Though only a Minor class, his combat prowess is formidable, especially as a swordsman. Being physically stronger than his Human colleagues, he is very protective, especially of Marines like Nathalia. As part of an infiltration operation, Thelmar assists the UNSC in battling Banished forces on the ring.
[Due to the deeper pitch of Sangheili voices, feel free to either use your own, natural depth or modify it in an editing software. I have no preference. Accent is set to any, but some Sangheili gravitate towards a slight English/British accent.]
[You just received an order from a commanding officer]
(Normal voice per voice talent)
“Acknowledged.”
[Responding to another order. For applicants not familiar with Halo lore, Sangheili place enormous emphasis on Honor and other worthy traits. They are a very noble alien race.]
(confidently)
“By my honor, we shall succeed.”
[Your suit's energy shields absorb a shot from a Focus Rifle. The fact your aiming was interrupted and the pain from the kinetic force of the projectile is the cause of the frustration.]
(aggravated)
*growls* “Take out the sniper!”
A Sangheili officer within The Banished military. Arrogant, short-tempered, and extremely dangerous in combat.
[Will be identified later, but definitely a role to be reprised later. Use your discretion with how to achieve a deeper pitch.]
[One of your soldiers returns from a deployment, obviously sooner than expected.]
(curious, with a hint of suspicion)
“Back so soon…?”
[Your soldier has admitted complete failure.]
(harsh and condescending; second line in a mocking tone)
“I expected nothing less. Was it a mere group of Marines?”
[Avoiding too many spoilers, your soldier describes an enemy resembling that of a former nemesis. As readily evident, your character despises this enemy.]
(enraged and with gritted teeth)
*growls* What?!?! *pauses* These pathetic fools will be crushed, but I alone will gut that filthy Spartan!!!”
A Sangheili Mercenary hired by The Banished to supplement their own forces.
[Pitch issue the same as addressed in previous two Sangheili roles.]
[You have returned from a failed mission which you are the only survivor.]
(ashamed and slightly fearful)
“I…failed, Commander.”
[Not completely innocent, you have won a tiny victory. Your enemy was stronger than the CO anticipated.]
(less concerned, but still nervous)
“No, only two were Marines. The others were a Sangheili and a Spartan.”
[Reporting your observations to the CO, unaware of his impending reaction.]
(normal voice)
“No, not him unless he changed his armor to black with red accents.”
A Jiralhanae Warrior fighting for The Banished.
[Comparable to the Halo 2 and 3 Brutes, but not as barbaric.]
[You are staring at the body of a Spartan laid out on the ground.]
(perplexed)
“Meat for the Jackals?”
[A voice is heard behind yourself which definitely isn't friendly.]
(alarmed)
“Huh…?!”
Another Jiralhanae Warrior fighting for The Banished.
[Comparable to the Halo 2 and 3 Brutes, yet not as barbaric.]
[Reacting to your comrade's comment. Refer to the first audition line from Jiralhanae Warrior #1.]
(normal voice)
“No. The Chieftain wants it for Intel purposes.”
[An unknown voice is heard behind yourself, which definitely isn't friendly.]
(alarmed)
“Huh…?!”
