My Little Pony: Descendants
Project Overview
This audio drama is based on my story, My LIttle Descendants (Found here: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/283619/my-little-descendants), which is a parody of Disney's Descendants in an alternate My Little Pony universe. If you have any questions, you can let me know in the comments or email me at [redacted].
Story Synopsis
Nearly twenty years ago, Equestria's most infamous villains were rounded up and banished to an island smack in the middle of the Eastern Sea, halfway between the Equestrian Continent and the Griffin Empire. While the citizens of Equestria lived in the lap of luxury, the ponies of the Isle survived in poverty and eternal famine.
Now, four foals of the Isle are chosen to return to Equestria, and are given a shot at a normal life. Their parents, however, see it as a chance to escape and get their revenge. Now these children have a choice to make. Will they prove themselves to their parents as the baddest of the bad, or will they abandon everything they've ever known for the sake of writing their own stories?
Artists
All you have to do really is send me a picture from a scene in the story, with the name you want to be credited as, and if you have it, a link to where people can find you, such as a blog, DeviantArt, YouTube, or anything else.. And, as there will be scenes that will be different than, and scenes that are not in the story, you will also be receiving a script. You can send it to [redacted]. Any and all art can, and probably will, be used. For character design, please refer to the voice actor info. Please note that although her picture portrays her as a Pegasus, Nova is a Unicorn. For Lollypop and Nyx's designs, go to my deviantart: http://lps-nerdz.deviantart.com/gallery/
Please email me if you're interested! Some people have already told me what scene they're doing! I'm saying this to avoid more than one picture of the same moment of the scene!
Musicians
What I’m looking for here is background music, and instrumentals for the songs we’ll be doing. Background music I’m not as worried about because I can use Kevin MacLeod or YouTube music, but it would be really cool to have some original pieces. Instrumentals I am really hoping to get because they’re less likely to result copyright strike if they’re recorded covers, but if worse comes to worst, I can use a karaoke version.
If you want to contribute background music, please send the .mp3 or .WAV file to [redacted] labeled with the story acronym, the word ‘background’ along with the feeling of the piece (EX. Dramatic), the name of the song, and the name you’d like to be credited as.
EX. MLD_background_dramatic_RunningForrest_User546
If you want to contribute instrumentals (I’ll be needing every song from the movie excluding the score suite, ‘Believe’, and the remix of ‘Be Our Guest’), please send the .mp3 or .WAV file to [redacted] labeled with the story acronym, the name of the song, and the name you want to be credited as.
EX. MLD_RottenToTheCore_User546
I will NOT except video files for either background music or instrumentals.
Voice Actors
This is probably the most important part. Sorry to those of you who wanted to voice Nyx and/or Lollypop Swirl. I’ll be playing Nyx, and my friend Lola, who has designed most of the characters, is voicing Lolly. But, there still are a bunch of characters that need to be cast! Right now, I’m only casting characters that will be introduced in the 1-4 chapters/episodes. Anyone else will be cast as they are needed. Also, keep in mind that there are characters who appear in the first few episodes that will not be seen again until way later. Also, this is not the only place I'm doing a casting call, so some roles may go to off-site auditioners.
There is no limit to how many characters you can audition for. If you audition for a cannon character, know that I’m not looking for an impressionist, I’m looking for actors. Try and get as close to the cannon voice as possible, while still conveying the emotion. If you're auditioning for an OC, go wild! For both types of auditions, feel free to experiment with lines (nothing over a PG rating), and take a few moments to get into character if you need to! Keep in mind that certain characters will be singing at some point in this series, and I have included links to songs I’d like you to sing in your audition. It’s not necessary to sing the whole song. Also, take some time to memorize the part you’ll sing, and please sing a Capella (no music). Please try and get as little background noise as possible.
I will NOT except video auditions, but if you have a YouTube channel, feel free to upload your audition for your subscribers! Once casting is done, I’ll email the people who got roles, and post a cast list here, and on my YouTube channel.
Also, if you’re auditioning for Chrysalis or Larva and you happen to know how to do the Changeling echo effect, have an edited version of the lines after the original. Do the same thing for ONLY the last sample line for Lady Bug. If you don’t know how to do this, don’t worry about it.
Auditions will be accepted until 1:00pm Eastern on Saturday, January 30th. I will let you guys know if the deadline gets pushed back

Casting Process Update
Casting Is currently closed until further notice while a few roles are finalized, and then the deadline will be pushed back.
Role: Major
Character Description: Girly girl and flirty fashionista, Lady Bug has every colt drooling. She’s a good actress around others, but she hates lying to her friends. She may seem like she’s a total airhead, but underneath that façade, she hides her intelligence.
Song (Just Evie's part): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1SKjJxwdwE
(annoyed) Fine! But I could do wonders with your color!
(flirty) My mother is a queen, which makes me a princess.
(dreamily) Or all the delicious love!
Role: Minor
Character Description: While he's still Captain of the Royal Guard, Shining has taken up the role of hoofball coach at his sister's high school.
(tired) Alright then, back to work.
(thoughtful, proud) I'm not gonna lie to you, kid; you've got a raw talent that I don't see in many ponies.
(inspiring) A team is just a smaller version of that, a bunch of ponies working together to form something truly amazing.
Role: Minor
Character Description: Larva is a peppy young girl who looks up to her big sister. She’s fairly responsible, but a bit of a whiner. Larva is very protective of her little sister, Pupa.
(whiny) Do you really have to go?
(pouting) But why can I come?
Role: Minor
Character Description: Sunset Shimmer was defeated, but her power-hungry demonic form had a lasting effect. She was left striving for control of any form and fairly insane. When her son was young, she told him horror stories of the bat-like demons she and her minions had transformed into, instilling him with a deep fear of bats. Her desire to control led her to treating her son as servant, using his fears to manipulate him.
(dismissive) Well, they’re certainly not taking my little Flare!
(carefree) Who else would polish my crowns?
(insane, angry) I will have my power!
Role: Minor
Character Description: After marrying Fluttershy, Discord mellowed out quite a bit, though he’s still rather hot-headed, with a bad temper. After becoming a Guardian and taking the throne alongside his wife, he took to wearing an equine disguise to make others feel more comfortable around him. Now one hundred percent reformed, Discord rarely uses his powers except to entertain or cheer up his wife and son.
(angry) You want to what?!
(questioning) Are you sure you want her kid here?
(proud) You’ll make a fine Guardian.
Role: Minor
Character Description: Nightmare Moon was banished to the Isle of the Forgotten along with several other villains. Since then, she has taken the unspoken “throne” and had a daughter, whom she is often very cruel to. Still as evil as ever, she wants nothing more than to get her revenge, and had raised her daughter to be just like herself in hope that her vengeful goal shall be achieved.
Song (just Maleficent’s part):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-2Pj5PQEhk
(mocking, angry) Stealing candy, Nyx? I thought more of you.
(frustrated) What is wrong with you lot?!
(cold) Our entire world, our future rests on your withers. Don’t screw this up.
Role: Minor
Character Description: Sombra, former tyrant king of the Crystal Empire, was banished to the Isle of the Forgotten with several other villains. His royal experience did not help him when the unspoken leader was chosen, and he now owns a second hoof jewelry store, selling items back to the ponies his son stole from. He’s become rather lazy in the past few years, relying on his son to keep the shelves of the store, and at home, stocked. His greatest desire is ultimate power.
(dismissive) Shade’s not going.
(greedy) What did you get?
(slightly proud) Get out of here. You’ll make me tear up.
Role: Minor
Character Description: Silver is the arrogant son of Prince Blueblood. Vain, spiteful, and manipulative, he is definitely his father's son.
(blatant) Those foals are trouble.
(flirty) Are all the fillies on the Isle as pretty as you?
(nonchalant) It's fine, my father will probably get me a new one.
Role: Major
Character Description: Sunrise is a pretty young mare, very popular at Canterlot High. She practically idolizes her mother, Celestia, and though her mother is a kind and benevolent leader, Sunrise is snobbish and vain. She cares only of her title and position and what they can get her. She’s sassy, but a bit naïve.
(passive-aggressive) Chrysalis has no royal status here, and neither do you.
(vain, boasting) Princess Sunrise. His marefriend! Right, Willy?
(venomously) Ask Doub!
Role: Minor
Character Description: Super Nova, or Nova as she prefers to be called, is the sweet, and very shy, daughter of the Princess of Friendship. Despite her mother being a magical prodigy, Nova is lacking in mystic ability, but she makes up for it in brain power. Her advanced mind has allowed her to skip a few grades. She's impulsive, dramatic, and slightly immature.
(nervous) Um, h-hi. Uh, d-d-don't mi-ind me-e.
(pouting) I already told you; she won't do it!
(angry) I cannot believe my mother!
Role: Minor
Character Description: Chrysalis and the soldiers that remained loyal to her after the defeat in Canterlot were banished to the Isle, where she became a mother. She spent most of her time grooming her daughter to be the princess she was born to be, training her to be devious in order to hunt, and left her younger daughters to fend for themselves.
(disgusted) Meanwhile, perhaps I can do something about your sisters.
(imploring) And what do we say about colts?
(commanding) Bring home a prince!
Role: Major
Character Description: As the fearful son of Sunset Shimmer, Flare grew up as a servant to his insane mother. Because of this, he’s very accepting and hates labels. The youngest member of the group, this techie is often treated as the little brother. Despite being the son of a power-hunger demon, Flare just wants to see ponies smile.
Song (just Carlos' Part): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1SKjJxwdwE
(stuttering) Uh, I heard something about bats in Equestria…
(panicked, angry) You got everything else! Why do you even want whatever this is?!
(exasperated) Because cameras are a lot harder to hide from than actual ponies.
Role: Major
Character Description: Scifresh is the eldest son of Applejack and Silver Shill. He's all around southern, but he's no uneducated hillbilly; quite the opposite, actually. He's a great friend, even to the new villain foals, and has a soft spot for a certain blue Changeling.
(informative) So, Ah've put the basics in here already, but you can change them later if ya want.
(disgusted) He ain't in line for a throne, but he is technically a prince.
(confident) So...will you? Be mah date to the coronation Ah mean?
Role: Major
Character Description: Will is the son of Fluttershy and Discord. He’s next in line for the throne of the Center Region. Like his mother, he is kindhearted and compassionate, but has his father’s short temper. He is strong willed and determined, yet scared of hurting someone’s feeling, even at the expense of his own.
(nervous) Well, I actually have an idea…
(relieved) I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps we could start with four?
(determined) They should not be condemned for their parents’ crimes!
Role: Minor
Character Description: Soft spoken and kind, Fluttershy is a caring wife and devoted mother. She’s become less conservative since being crowned queen of the Center Region, and while her new title keeps her busy, she’s still there to support her friends and family.
(doting) Oh, I know, but he’s still my baby!
(chastising) The least you can do is hear him out without losing your head!
(proud) So kindhearted…well done.
Role: Minor
Character Description: Twilight is a very bookish mare, kind and caring, if a bit eccentric. After becoming a Guardian of Equestria along with her friends, she opened a school, Canterlot High.
(calm, commanding) I appreciate the offer, but I’d prefer you to return it, and we’ll take care of it later.
(reminiscent) Yes, but that was a long time ago. There’s rarely need for the Elements now.
(explaining) Will and Sunrise will show you around, and you’ll start classes tomorrow.
Role: Major
Character Description: Shade is a suave thief, tricky and mysterious. He’s a bit of a player, and puts up a carefree, rebellious front, with a tough exterior, but he’s a teddy bear at heart, fiercely loyal and caring to his friends.
Song (just Jay’s part):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1SKjJxwdwE
(dismissive) Hey, now, I don’t do uniforms.
(proud) And this I stole from Trixie.
(mocking) That’s your mother’s armor?
