Mars and Friends - Animated Pilot
Project Overview
What is the plot?
Mars is a human , who was raised on planet Mars within the royal family. One fateful day, Mars encounters the mysterious, yet familiar Jupiter and his life is forever changed. Mars and his team explore the universe, searching for adventure, whilst gaining a better understanding of one another. The episodes will consist of the characters on adventures which each vary from one another.
How will this work?
This will be produced over many months time. I will be animating most and my writers will produce the scripts. We will all collaborate to create one pilot episode, possibly more depending on the response. This is mainly for fun.
How long is this project?
We intend to finish at the end of 2020. Currently it is a one off product and will be released on youtube.
How long do I have to record lines?
It would be prefereable for voice actors to record lines within a week after the script has been sent out. This is so the project can move at a faster pace.
What am I looking for?
I am looking for voice actors who are committed and have enough time to do the project. You should have high quality audio - without a buzzing, white noise or computer fan in the background. Naturally, you must be expressive.
Animators must be working in 2D, using the style shown above. I will provide references and character sheets. Animation must match the quality of the video above.
Artists must complete work within two weeks max.
Storyboard artists must work within two weeks as well.
Requirements:
- Please be above the ages of 14, as there may be swearing or inuendos within these works. The project is not graphic or R 18, it just tends to reference these things as a form of humour.
- If you are sensitive to topics such as abuse, suicidal thoughts etc, this project is not for you.
- Though not nesscesary, it'd be preferable for voice actors to have discord, therefore I can issue scripts to one chat, rather than various chats. This saves time and is more convenient for me.
- Free time for the project
- Have decent mic quality , without the background noise.
Roles:
- If there isn't a role that suits you - don't worry! Follow this project, as more roles as well as female roles will be posted soon.

Age: 19
Personality: Optimistic and charming on the exteriror, slightly insecure and self conscious inside.
Summary: Mars is the main protagonist and the team's mechanic. He is very optimistic and the youngest in the team. He enjoys things such as DVDs and TV, as a result of his human nature, yet he has never been to Earth. He recieved his Earth media from his older brother, who has traveled to Earth. Mars was adopted by the Marsian royal family and despite being raised as a 'proper' child, he has been no stranger to exploration and adventures.
Voice: Mars would sound excited with a medium or high male voice. He must be rather loud , but not rowdy.
*excited, discussing dvds with Jupiter* So do you like the Sweater Lu series?? O-or maybe the galaxy warriors trilogy.. hmmm maybe husband kyun. That's a super cute rom com? What's your favourite Ju? Or do you not prefer being called Ju. Can I call you Ju?
*upset, yet trying to be happy* You guys are so cool.... you all.... you're all incredible fighters... with insanely strong abilities... I'm ... I'm just a human and I know that... I just really wish I could fight like you... *sigh* I'm being silly.. I know. *forcing positivity* Well, goodnight!
*recording a tape, excited* Hello! This is Mars Franx!! This is Saturn! Say hi Saturn! *chuckles* Okay then. Well this is where I make breakfast. I have some space beans and sandjuice. It's pretty great.
Age: 22
Personality: Serious, stoic exterior, shy, insecure interior.
Summary: Jupiter is the character which is newest to the team. He has been freed from his home Empire, where he was a fighter pilot without freedom. He is still new to being independant and can be rather blunt, lacking understanding of what's socially acceptable. He is seemingly confused and serious on the outside, but is rather shy and slightly insecure inside. He has a rather humane side, which he struggles to reveal as a result of previous pressure to compress free thought, but he tries his best to be the self he desires to be.
Voice: Jupiter's voice would be medium ranged, serious yet somewhat soft.
*orderly, lawful* Under order of the Solarian empire, I must ask to to refrain from attack. You are disgracing the noble Empress Solaria with your actions.
*curious, somewhat shy* You do have an interesting ... collection of this Earth entertainment.... If you don't mind.... may we view these. I have not consumed much media at all in my existence. That is my only current request. I hope it isn't an inconvenience.
*soft, shy, yet blunt* I... I think I love you... this ... that is what you identify strong feelings of sexual and emotional attraction to you. I hope you can feel the same desireablity towards me. And so, I will present you with this ring, as a form of confession.
Age: 22
Personality: Serious, cold exterior, selfless , sensitive interior
Summary: Saturn is the team's captain. He is very serious and cold on the outside, yet caring and selfless inside. He had a traumatic childhood, which possibly may influence his cold, unfeeling exterior. Saturn is the 4th prince of Mars, but the least favourite child. He is extremely close to the team member, Atlas and the character, Neptune.
Voice: Saturn would have a very formal and well spoken voice, a deep or medium range male.
*serious* I hope you understand the severity of the situation at hand. We cannot allow you to keep - *embarassed, confused* hey.... stop that! Atlas! I'm trying to give a serious explaination as to why you can't use these techniques to gain information....
*upset, distressed, traumatised* Look. I don't know how to say things how I'd like to.... so I put on this front because I won't make a fool of myself.... I'm not a fool.... I'm not.... mother.... said I am... but I promise... I'm not... I'm a good child.... don't lock me in here.... please.... not again.... I'll speak properly... please...
*happy, half serious* Atlas. You didn't have to do this for me.... I .... it's... thank you for the gift.
Age: 27
Personality: Bubbly, energetic , seductive exterior, cold, serious interior
Summary: Atlas is a Lastian who serves the Marsian royal family. He is flirty, sociable and serves as a paid concubine. Despite his amourous exterior, he is a very serious and intelligent individual inside. He tends to dress more feminine , yet is rarely mistaken for a woman. Most people (especially on Planet Mars) find him very alluring or attractive as a result of his natural attraction aura (this is part of his Lastian nature). He has very clear interest of Saturn and enjoys his company.
Voice: male medium or high, excitable, seductive , sassy
Warning: May have suggestive (but not explicit) lines.
*seductive* My dearest, we have all night to ourselves.... so please, enjoy my company, sweetie.
*excited* Saturn! Saturn! Oh goodness! It's so wonderful to see you. You look incredibly handsome this fine day! Now, I have your schedule *reading it* Hmmm... fencing, space studies - that's lame. Spend your time with me instead. I mean, afterall, don't you love a man with long hair~?
*serious, supportive* Mars, don't put yourself down. You are a wonderful person with many talents. We need you to be complete as a team. You don't realise it, but you're the thing that brought us back together again.
Age: 51
Personality: Friendly, yet teasing.
Summary: Nash is the oldest of the team , with the appearance of a young man. His youthful appearance is the result of the magic ring he posseses. He is usually calm and friendly, but can be teasing and joking towards the others with a slightly dark sense of humour. He was originally from Earth and came to planet Mars as a young adult, eventually marrying a marsian woman and settling down with a family of his own.
Voice: NOT ELDERLY SOUNDING. Medium ranged , soft voice.
*calm, cheerful* Well back in my day, the team was just like this,,,, except we were far more mature teenagers than you. You kids today are so dramatic and cry often. It's somewhat amusing. *serious* you kids need to man up!
*slightly irritated* I'm not old! I'm experienced!!! Now please stop calling me Grandpa.
*serious, sad* Make sure you tuck my children into bed and read them a story.... their father won't be coming home....
