In the Year 200X, the future is about to be built as Famed Roboticist Doctor Thomas Light is about to unveil his most ambitious Project yet: The Robot Masters Project. A Series of Robots carrying Light’s patented Hyper-Advanced AI that mimics Human Consciousness, all designed and built to assist humanity in different tasks, as the first step in creating not just a Better Tomorrow, but a Perfect Tomorrow. But when Light’s Robotics Partner, Doctor Albert Wily, reprograms the Robot Masters to become destructive and evil out of his own jealousy and ego, all seems lost. That is, until Rock, one of Doctor Light’s Helper Robots and Son, offers himself up to become upgraded into a Super Fighting Robot, who will be able to stop the Robot Masters and save Humanity from Wily. His name? MEGA MAN!

It’s the Super Fighting Robot himself, Rock. He was originally built by Doctor Light as a housekeeping robot and son alongside his sister Roll, but when Doctor Wily takes control of Light’s Robot Masters to take over the earth, Mega Man offers himself up as a hero to stand against the Robot Masters and save everyone. Rock is helpful to a default, having the mind of a young boy and built for housekeeping, and always tries to help everyone he can. After becoming Mega Man, Rock goes through quite an emotional rollercoaster, going from nervous yet determined, to cold and distant, to cocky and egotistical, due to having all of this power thrust upon him. I need an actor who can portray all these different sides of Rock, and still give him the innocence of a kid who wants to do the right thing
I am looking for a medium to medium-high pitch, and I want Rock’s general voice to be similar to that of a Shonen Anime Protagonist, very determined and full of conviction whilst still showing his youth and innocence
[Rock explaining his want to become Mega Man, slightly worried but still unwavering] “Well, sure I’m scared, and I don’t want to hurt anyone. I know you don’t want to make Fighting Robots anymore, and if I can get the others to stop being bad, I will. But if I have to fight…then I have to fight. Otherwise, who will help everyone?”
[Rock seeing the two scared Officers, greeting them and explaining himself politely] “Hello! Sorry to startle you! But don’t worry! I’m here to help save everyone. If you’ll excuse me, I’d better get going, have a good day!”
[Rock rejecting being referred to by his name, currently acting cold and distant to help cope with fighting the Robot Masters] “I’m sorry, Dr Light, but ‘Rock’ is a Lab Assistant. I’m ‘Mega Man’, I blow up other robots.”
It’s the genius inventor who is about to change the history of Robotics, Doctor Light. He is Mega Man’s Father, having graduated from the Robot Institute of Technology alongside his colleague Doctor Albert Wily, though always getting more recognition due to Wily losing his credentials due to Unethical Robotic Experiments. Doctor Light worked with Wily to build the Robot Masters, advanced helper robots designed to assist humanity, however they would be reprogrammed by Wily to take over the world, leaving Light to upgrade Rock into Mega Man to stop them. Doctor Light is a man with much experience, always having advice to give to his Children and willing to help anyone with his robotics, being something of a moral compass to Rock and there to mentor his Children to become the best they can be. I need an actor who can seem down to earth and friendly, as well as full of wisdom and experience
I am looking for a low to medium-low pitch, and I want Doctor Light to speak with a lot of elderly grit in his voice, yet with friendly, welcoming inflections in how he speaks to people
Do not just try and do an impression of one of Doctor Light’s official voices, the main dictator of who I choose will be down to how an actor can sell the emotions of the character
[Light making a speech on a stage to an audience of reporters and press, speaking with optimistic conviction about the Robot Master Project] “I believe the field of robotics can be pushed further, that WE can be pushed further for the betterment of mankind and robotkind. By pushing the boundaries of Modern Robotics, and working hard alongside them, I believe we can achieve more than a Better Tomorrow. I believe we can achieve a PERFECT Tomorrow”
[Light attempting to console Wily after the latter’s bitterness about not being able to go out on stage alongside Light] “You’re an equal partner in Light Labs where it counts. You’ll miss out on today, but history will remember the TWO men who changed the future!”
[Light talking to Rock after the latter’s immense guilt at his outburst, asking to be stripped of his weapons, and Light explaining that Rock isn’t evil, in a sorrowful tone] “No, not evil. You are a little robot boy given too much power… while carrying the world on his shoulders.”
It’s the Robotic Assistant with a heart of gold, Roll. She was built by Doctor Light as a housekeeping robot and daughter alongside her brother Rock, and when Doctor Wily takes control of Light’s Robot Masters to take over the earth, whilst Rock becomes a Hero, Roll continues to serve Doctor Light as an Assistant. Roll has a similar attitude to her brother, always willing to help wherever she can, as she’s frequently seen helping Doctor Light around their lab and on robotics, and she’s as eager to help her brother and father out. Roll acts as an important emotional character, helping Rock when he goes too far, always giving words of encouragement, yet not afraid to stand up for herself and reprimand people like Rock when they go too far. I need an actor who can portray Roll’s loyalty and eagerness to help everyone
I am looking for a medium-high to high pitch, and I want Roll to sound like an incredibly bubbly young girl, emphasizing the youth and innocence in her voice
Do not just try and do an impression of one of Roll’s official voices, the main dictator of who I choose will be down to how an actor can sell the emotions of the character
[Roll speaking optimistically about the current situation, believing things will turn out right] “It’ll be okay. You’ll see. Everybody knows Doctor Wily is behind it now, so they’ll stop him”
[Part of Roll’s speech to Rock, with her trying to snap him out of his cold and distant persona he’s developed, very heartfelt] “You’re sacrificing everything for everybody! That makes you the Best Robot! But if you get destroyed, you’ll be a Bad Brother!, so you have to win and come home safe!”
[Roll upset at Rock after he apologizes to her, scolding him like a parent would to a misbehaving child] “I don’t mind cleaning up after Doctor Light, but I won’t waste my time cleaning up after your Temper Tantrums!”
It’s the Inventor turned Maniacal Mad Scientist, Doctor Wily. He is a roboticist, having graduated from the Robot Institute of Technology alongside his colleague Doctor Thomas Light, though never getting as much recognition due to Unethical experiments he performed pertaining to Robotics, causing him to grow a sense of animosity towards Light, even whilst they both worked on the Robot Masters Project. After being denied a place on stage alongside Light showing them off, Wily snapped, secretly reprogramming the Robot Masters to cause chaos and take over the world for him, demanding that he be named the greatest genius in the world. Doctor Wily is an egotistical man, believing himself to be smarter than everyone around him, including Doctor Light, and being rejected the praise he believes is deserved causes him to go towards an evil path, always carrying a sense of superiority with him. I need an actor who can portray Wily’s hubris and maniacal nature, powered by his ego and years of denial for what he believes is rightfully his
I am looking for a medium-high to high pitch, and I want Wily to have a nasally tone to his voice, being a mirror to Doctor Light in that way, yet still someone who seems old and experienced like Light
Do not just try and do an impression of one of Doctor Wily’s official voices, the main dictator of who I choose will be down to how an actor can sell the emotions of the character
[Wily turning from Doctor Light, sarcastically remarking, bitter about his lack of appearing on stage] “OH, how silly of me, Thomas. I forgot that ‘Light’ makes ‘Right’”
[Doctor Wily on television speaking to the world as the Robot Masters begin their destruction, gloating and feeling like he’s on top of the world] “WHA-HA-HAHA! Do not attempt to look away, fools! Doctor Albert W. Wily controls the Air-Waves now! And soon– THE WORLD!”
[Wily sitting in his Castle, watching Mega Man approach it on a monitor like a classic supervillain. In the first two sentences, his anger rises, but beginning at “Well, that’s fine” he regains his composure and sounds calculative and cunning] “I see how it is, Thomas. I take what’s rightfully mine, and you make your Floor Scrubber into a Knock-Off. And then you flaunt him around like he’s something special and unique!! Well, that’s fine, send your little Blue Bomber for me. WE’LL be waiting for Him, HAHAHAHAHA!”
Bomb Man is one of the eight original Robot Masters. Designed for Demolition and Excavation purposes, he was built by Doctor Light and Doctor Wily for the Robot Master project, yet was reprogrammed by Dr Wily to help him take over the world, now becoming a villainous force to be stopped by Mega Man. Bomb Man, when evil, has a cocky disposition and general sense of superiority, though also somewhat of a respect for Rock, with how he compliments Rock for his looks and entrance, yet still all the more willing to destroy Mega Man
I am looking for a medium to medium-low pitch, and I want Bomb Man to have general cocky, kind of college frat boy inflections in his voice
[Bomb Man complimenting Rock in a half condescending, half genuine respect way] “I like your look, kid. Not a bad entrance, either. But if you really wanna make an impression… [Throws Bomb] -You gotta enter with a Bang!”
[Bomb Man cutting off Ice Man from scolding Mega Man, full of adrenaline] “Save it, short stuff. Infighting Party, WOO!”
Guts Man is one of the eight original Robot Masters. Designed for Land Reclamation in Hazardous Conditions, he was built by Doctor Light and Doctor Wily for the Robot Master project, yet was reprogrammed by Dr Wily to help him take over the world, now becoming a villainous force to be stopped by Mega Man. Guts Man, when evil, has a cocky disposition and general sense of superiority, though also has a toxically masculine attitude, believing himself to be superior due to being “Manly” and “Strong”, yet not being too bright or smart, yet still all the more willing to destroy Mega Man
I am looking for a medium to medium-low pitch, and I want Guts Man to have a gruff sound to his voice, always uber-confident in his muscles and "Manliness"
[Guts Man taunting Rock as he enters, believing himself to be stronger than Rock and flaunting that] “So, you came to take me on yourself. I like that. You got guts, little guy. Shows you’re Manly. But not as Manly as me! You won’t beat me ‘cause I’m the Strongest”
[Guts Man trying to refute Rock pointing out the hole in his speech] “I don’t need your ‘logic’... ‘Cause my Hugeness is SUPREME!”
Cut Man is one of the eight original Robot Masters. Designed for Forestry Management purposes, he was built by Doctor Light and Doctor Wily for the Robot Master project, yet was reprogrammed by Dr Wily to help him take over the world, now becoming a villainous force to be stopped by Mega Man. Cut Man, when evil, has a cocky disposition and general sense of superiority, though also a particular condescension and sense of superiority compared to Mega Man, underestimating the blue bomber, as well as having a love for cut-based puns, yet still all the more willing to destroy Mega Man
I am looking for a medium to medium-high pitch, and I want Cut Man to have a stuck up, holier than thou attitude in his inflections, but not too over the top
[Cut Man taunting Mega Man and his unsureness as he enters into the Boss Chamber] “What, still need advice at the eleventh hour? CUTTING it a little close, don’t you think?”
[Cut Man happy Mega Man is now ready to truly fight him, still taunting] “Finally! But you’ll have to do better than that! I’m a CUT above the rest!”
Elec Man is one of the eight original Robot Masters. Designed for Power Management purposes, he was built by Doctor Light and Doctor Wily for the Robot Master project, yet was reprogrammed by Dr Wily to help him take over the world, now becoming a villainous force to be stopped by Mega Man. Elec Man, when evil, has a cocky disposition and general sense of superiority, though also takes on somewhat of a leader role as the arc goes on, communicating directly with Wily and being more crafty when going up against Mega Man. He will go on to become a more relevant character later on and becoming much more level headed and loyal
I am looking for a medium pitch, and I want Elec Man to have generally level headed inflections, seeming like he knows what he’s doing, dipping into his cocky side at times
[Elec Man standing with all the other Robot Masters to fight Mega Man together, cocky but sinister] “You made a mockery of us, kid. And I, for one, will NOT tolerate that”
[Elec Man refusing to listen to Mega Man’s attempts to get the Robot Masters on his side, raising his voice and trying to remind them of their orders] “We can’t go against our programming. Dr Wily orders us, and we must obey”
Ice Man is one of the eight original Robot Masters. Designed for Arctic and Antarctic Exploration purposes, he was built by Doctor Light and Doctor Wily for the Robot Master project, yet was reprogrammed by Dr Wily to help him take over the world, now becoming a villainous force to be stopped by Mega Man. Ice Man, when evil, has a cocky disposition and general sense of superiority, though also isn’t as cocky as his brothers, being disposed of quite quickly and being shorter than the other Robot Masters, putting him into a sort of little brother role amongst the group, yet still all the more willing to destroy Mega Man
I am looking for a medium-high pitch, and I want Ice Man to have a more soft spoken voice than the others, appearing slightly meeker yet still able to hold his own
[Ice Man refuting Mega Man and his cockiness as he enters] “No! This place is mine! And once you’re frozen, you’ll be mine, too”
[Ice Man trying to monologue about being previously beaten by Rock, only to be cut off] “I don’t care about programming or orders! You robbed me of my dignity, and I’ll-”
Fire Man is one of the eight original Robot Masters. Designed for Waste Reduction purposes, he was built by Doctor Light and Doctor Wily for the Robot Master project, yet was reprogrammed by Dr Wily to help him take over the world, now becoming a villainous force to be stopped by Mega Man. Fire Man, when evil, has a cocky disposition and general sense of superiority, though also seems to be an older figure,what with his southern drawl, tall stature, or in later arcs, his role being an authority alongside Elec Man, yet still all the more willing to destroy Mega Man
I am looking for a medium-low to low pitch, and I want Fire Man to have a low, older brother kind of voice, alongside a southern drawl given his use of “pardner”
[Fire Man happily getting to fight Rock for real] “There’s no escape this time! We will have a proper battle”
[Fire Man holding back Elec Man, agreeing with Rock’s proposition for them to join him] “No! He is right! The flames of justice will not burn him”
A Minor character who occasionally reappears from time to time, and is taken from the Japanese Version of the “Mega Man Battle & Chase” Spin-Off Game. He’s a news reporter working for the B&C Gazette, frequently seen interviewing or asking questions to Doctor Light. He comes off as quite nosy and judgemental in his questions, similar to typical negative stereotypes on Journalists and Reporters. I need an actor who can sell his nosiness yet also give a sense of eccentricity to the character
I am looking for a medium-high to high pitch, and I want Pivot to be a fast talker, having that slightly suspicious attitude to him to an extent
[Asking Doctor Light during the showcase of the Robot Masters] “Early in your career, you built Robots for the Military, like your so-called ‘Sniper Joe’ Model. Are there any plans on using these Advanced Robots, y’know, for Covert War Operations?”
A Minor character appearing for one scene (And a reference to Mega Man Legends), acting as a News Reporter, who reports on the news about the destruction of the city by Wily’s Robot Masters
I am looking for a medium pitch, and I want Li to have a dignified, informative tone of speaking, similar to how you would hear real newscasters talking
[Li reporting on the Robot Master Takeover, with footage of the Robot Masters destroying the city playing concurrently] “As you can see, the Robots are causing massive damage and possess powers unlike anything we’ve ever seen…”
Two Minor characters appearing for one scene, acting as law enforcement officers trying to quell the destruction being caused by Dr. Wily and the Robot Masters, though seemingly being afraid of their power and cowering behind a vehicle, even from Mega Man
I am looking for a medium to medium low pitch, and I want the Officers to have deep, yet kind of bumbling voices, as if they’re…not very good at their job, and afraid of what they have to do
Two of the auditioning actors will be cast in these roles
[Officer #1 commenting on the destruction left by the Robot Masters to Officer #2] “After that rampage? I don’t think there’s anything that CAN stop them…or this Dr. Wily guy”
[Officer #2 talking to Officer #1 after both are overhearing Mega Man & Doctor Light talk] “Y’hear that? He’s one of Dr. Light’s Robots!
While I am starting to get the hang of Video Editing, I’m still quite inexperienced, so an Editor coming onto the Project would help a lot
I need someone who is experienced in moving and or manipulating images and text, as well as Sound Design
Multiple editors may be chosen
*Say something you think would fit*
Scriptwriting, the process of translating the comic into scripts that the actors can reference when rehearsing and recording, is incredibly important and also Time Consuming. So, bringing on a Script Writer would be a huge help to the series
I need someone who will be able to properly adapt the punctuation and wording of the dialogue, as well as being able to describe the physical actions shown on page as accurate as can be
Multiple people may be chosen for this role
*Say something you think would fit*
