Mordecai the Blue Jay: Blue Squadron [Blender Short Film][CLOSED]

Project Overview

"Blue Squadron" is the beginning of an idea nearly 10 years in the making.

Based on the characters of "Regular Show" by J.G. Quintel, the "Mordecai the Blue Jay (M.T.B.J.)" story takes place in a new universe, following Mordecai and Rigby as they go through their journey of self-discovery across the stars.

This introductory short film follows Mordecai and his team of elite pilots: Blue squadron, including Rigby and three original characters, as they face an unknown threat from an evil empire.

Requirements for the project

  1. You must be able to commit to the project. Commitment will ensure its completion.

  2. All roles must communicate clearly. Communication is recommended through Discord or Email, though Discord is preferred.

  3. A good, quality microphone without any background noise or distortion. (I personally use a HyperX Quadcast, but use what you have/can afford)

  4. Voice actors must be comfortable with swearing, yelling or screaming in any degree.

If you have any questions about the project, feel free to contact me!

Thank you!

Role assigned to: Marlon

The leader of his elite team, Blue Squadron, Mordecai Blackclaw is a skilled warrior and an extraordinary pilot. Originally born on Avis Prime, Mordecai was separated from his family at a very young age, being sent off to Earth for his own safety. However, even when he was reunited with his family, there was a burning fire inside him, one that could only be quenched by the destruction of the empire that destroyed his home in the first place.


Age: 20-23


The voice I'm going for with this character is different from the source material. However, it is recommended to pull reference form both head canon and original voices.

Role assigned to: Bautista Napal

The second in command of Blue Squadron, Rigby Rickerson is considered by himself and others to be not just Mordecai's best friend, but also his little brother. Rigby is often very hyperactive, impulsive, and a little short-fused. Like Mordecai, he too was separated from his home planet and sent to Earth. Eventually, the two met and become very close, considering themselves brothers.

Role assigned to: Paullionaire

The oldest pilot of the squadron, Charles "Charlie" Spurling was one of the first members of the team. Interestingly enough, he was the one who convinced Lyra to start her own squadron in the first place. Charlie was originally Lyra's commanding officer in his own squadron. However, after a disastrous mission with his old squadron, he, Lyra and one other member were the only survivors. He wanted Lyra to be the leader of the new Squadron because he knew if it weren't for her, they would have been captured or killed. As such, he learns from his own mistakes, using his knowledge to make him a better soldier overall.


Age: Late 20s


Charlie's voice is low, gravelly and with a subtle southern drawl. Being the oldest of the squad, Charlie has seen many battles during his time in the Star Force.

Role assigned to: Stormithy VO

Not much is known about Benson's origins; all that's known about him is the fact he rules a totalitarian empire across much of the galaxy. Benson is less than merciful; dictating all aspects of his "Perfect Empire." Anyone gets in the way of his plans and he wouldn't hesitate to have them locked up or even executed.


For Benson's voice, pull reference from the original show, but also the voice of Mordecai Heller.
