NEED STORYBOARD ARTISTS! Undertale: Fragmented Timeline (temporary name)
Project Overview
Undertale: Fragmented Timeline
PRODUCTION HAS BEGUN!
Undertale: Fragmented Timeline is a fan-made 2D animated series that presents characters from Undertale and Deltarune as they originally appear in their source material. not alternate universe versions, not exaggerated rewrites, but the characters as players know them.
This project centers on strong character writing, expressive dialogue, and meaningful interactions. Rather than relying on shock value or constant spectacle, Fragmented Timeline focuses on personality contrast, subtle emotional shifts, and moments that feel earned. Lighthearted scenes and humor exist naturally alongside more serious and intense exchanges, just as they do in the original games.
The goal is not to overwrite canon , (And things will not remain the same way you left them for long...) but to expand upon it in a thoughtful, self-contained story. Familiar settings return with new perspective. Familiar characters are placed in situations that challenge who they are without changing what makes them recognizable. Growth is gradual. Tension builds naturally. Every moment serves a purpose.
Inspired by character-focused Undertale projects such as Underverse, (Without the tons of fan service poured in) this series prioritizes long-term storytelling, pacing, and emotional clarity. Quality comes before quantity. Care comes before speed.
What This Project Is
A long-form 2D animated series
Character-driven storytelling
Dialogue-heavy scenes with expressive performances
A collaborative production involving voice actors, animators, artists, and other creative roles
A project built with intention and structure, not improvisation
This is not a one-time short animation. It is an ongoing series that requires consistency, communication, and commitment.
Voice Actors
We are looking for voice actors who understand the personalities of these characters and can interpret lines naturally. Emotional direction will not always be spelled out — part of the audition process is showing that you understand the character well enough to make strong choices.
Clear audio quality is required. Fluency in English is required.
Selected voice actors will be contacted directly and invited to the project’s Discord server for organized production communication.
2D Animators
This project is fully 2D animated.
Animators should be comfortable with character acting, expressive motion, and scene timing. Experience animating dialogue-driven scenes is a plus. Consistency in style and the ability to collaborate with a small team is important.
Animation quality and pacing matter more than rushing content. (we are NOT mappa) We don't expect perfection, as this is a fan passion project.
Communication
This project operates through a structured Discord server used strictly for production coordination, updates, scheduling, and collaboration. If cast, you will be invited directly.
Clear communication and reliability are essential.
Final Notes
Fragmented Timeline is built around respect for the source material, respect for the creative team, and respect for the process. Everyone involved is part of something collaborative — not disposable.
If you enjoy these characters, enjoy thoughtful storytelling, and want to contribute to a long-term animated series built with care, you’re in the right place.
Wave 2 is now open.
Note: Selected participants will be required to join a Discord server for communication and coordination.
Voice Actor
Toriel is a fiercely protective and disciplined guardian, stronger than most expect, with power enough to defend herself and others. She hasn’t come to terms with Asgore’s choices, and the weight of that unresolved anger fuels her vigilance. Haunted by the accidental death of the last human child, she moves with careful precision, every action weighted by the fear of causing harm again. Beneath her stern and battle-ready exterior lies a heart that desperately wants to protect and guide, making her both intimidating and deeply sympathetic.
You’ll be safe with me… I promise.
Be careful. One wrong step, and I can’t promise your safety.
…I won’t forget what HE has done, and I won’t let it happen again.
Voice Actor
At the height of her early career, Undyne is already a formidable warrior, nearly matching the strength she will later display in her Undying form. Fierce, determined, and uncompromising, she commands respect wherever she goes. Though her personality is intense and intimidating, she’s still untested in leadership, carrying a quiet drive to prove herself. Every action is precise and purposeful, showing both skill and unshakable confidence. Prime Undyne embodies raw strength, discipline, and resolve, inspiring awe while hinting at the hero she will eventually become.
Step aside! I don’t have time for slackers—move it!
I’ve trained my whole life for this. You don’t stand a chance!
(regular undyne) Heh… hit me as hard as you can, I’m just getting started!
Voice Actor
This is an early career Dr. Alphys, nervous but brilliant. She’s an awkward, nerdy scientist, often stuttering when she speaks. New to her role, she’s terrified of making mistakes, second-guessing herself at every turn. Despite her self-doubt, her heart is in the right place. Alphys brings a relatable, vulnerable charm as she tries to prove herself, learning that sometimes mistakes are part of growth.
“O-oh, um, I-I hope this works… I mean, it should, right?”
“W-well, if this explodes, uh, let’s just pretend it was... on purpose!”
“What are you?! Stay back—please, get away from me!”
Voice Actor
Mettaton is the same Mettaton from Undertale, not an alternate version. He remains charismatic, dramatic, and attention-driven, but in this story he is more grounded in his identity as a performer shaped by both survival and fame. Even in serious moments, he treats conflict like a stage, using flair and presence to control attention and emotion rather than raw strength.
As a supporting character, Mettaton shifts tension by turning situations into performances, using confidence and theatrical timing to influence both allies and enemies.
Darling, if you’re going to fight, at least make it entertaining.
Oh, don’t worry… the show’s not over until I say it is.
Now smile. The audience is watching.
Voice Actor
“This is the same Asriel from Undertale’s past and Deltarune’s memories a playful, carefree child, curious and full of life. Yet, he’s also the reflective Asriel, burdened by his time as Flowey, longing to move forward and leave his past behind. In quieter moments, he carries a deep hope to find peace. Though his role is brief, these layers bring heartfelt depth, showing both the innocence of youth and the weight of reflection.”
“I just want to leave Flowey behind… and finally move forward.”
“Come on, Kris! Bet you can’t catch me!”
“Hey, Frisk… take care of Mom and Dad for me.”
Voice Actor
Chara is the same Chara from Undertale, not an alternate universe version. They stay true to their original personality clever, observant, and a bit mischievous but are shown more as a constant presence who reacts to events rather than directly controlling them.
As a recurring character, Chara appears during key moments to comment on battles and situations with calm, sometimes playful detachment. They treat fights and outcomes like something interesting to watch and analyze, often giving “suggestions” or reactions as if they’re involved, even though they don’t directly change what happens.
You’re doing better than last time.
Careful. this one usually ends badly if you rush it.
Didn’t expect that to work… interesting.
Voice Actor
Asgore is a weary and broken king, burdened by the weight of his past decisions and the lives lost under his rule. Every day is a struggle, and the exhaustion shows in his slow movements, heavy sighs, and quiet demeanor. Beneath the fatigue lies a man who still carries a sense of duty and compassion, but it’s buried under guilt, regret, and the emotional toll of leadership. Asgore embodies quiet despair, lingering strength, and profound sorrow, making him a tragic and deeply compelling character.
…I suppose there’s nothing left for me to do but keep moving forward.
Step aside. I won’t stop for anyone—or anything.
…I keep thinking about what I could have done differently.
Voice Actor
Flowey is the same Flowey from Undertale, not an alternate version. He remains cunning, unstable, and manipulative, but in this story he is more persistent and openly obsessive about Frisk and the idea of control over timelines and outcomes. He treats every encounter like a game he refuses to lose, often returning again and again just to prove a point or disrupt progress.
As a recurring antagonist, Flowey interrupts key moments with taunts, experiments with outcomes, and shifting emotional behavior that can swing from playful to threatening in an instant. He is less about raw power and more about frustration, control, and refusing to accept defeat.
I’m going to tear your soul out and make sure you never come back!
You really think staying alive makes you special?
ohh, don’t worry. I’ve seen how this ends already.
Voice Actor
Gerson is the same Gerson from Undertale???, not an alternate universe version. He remains a tough, warm, and experienced old warrior, but in this story he’s more active and direct, carrying the weight of having survived the early conflicts of the monster human war.
As a supporting character, Gerson is a grounded voice of experience. He’s straightforward, a bit gruff, and doesn’t sugarcoat things, but still shows care through his actions and advice. He’s the kind of character who teaches through stories, warnings, and hard-earned truth rather than comfort.
back in my day, we didn’t get second chances like this.
Listen carefully. I’ve seen enough fights to know how this ends.
If you’re gonna swing, swing like you mean it (Lecturing)
Voice Actor
Noelle is the same Noelle from Deltarune, not an alternate version. She remains kind, shy, and a little anxious, but still tries her best to help others even when she’s overwhelmed.
As a supporting character, she is gentle, polite, and easily flustered, often reacting nervously to conflict but still wanting to do the right thing.
Um… h-hello?
Class feels longer than usual today.
I just want this day to be normal…
Voice Actor
Beardly is the same Beardly from your Chapter 1, not an alternate version. He remains confident, competitive, and a bit full of himself, always trying to prove he’s the smartest or most capable in the room. He tends to speak like he’s already ahead of everyone else, even when he isn’t.
As a supporting school character, Beardly acts like a self-appointed “top student,” constantly inserting himself into situations and treating everyday events like challenges he needs to win.
Yeah, I already figured that out before the teacher even said it.
You’re all welcome for my intellectual presence, by the way.
Honestly, this class would be easier if people kept up with me.
Voice Actor
This is not the Spamton you know. Once envisioned for a line of defense, now a broken, glitched salesman abandoned after a mysterious virus. Some say a brilliant mind once crafted him others say his origins are lost in the code.
“Please, just one more [deal]… I can still be something!”
“With the power of [[NEO]], we’ll make the [CASH GRAB] of a lifetime!”
“Is anyone out there...?"
Voice Actor
A charming and clever performer, Tenna thrives on attention and admiration. Confident in the spotlight but cautious in battle, he uses his wits and showmanship to outmaneuver opponents. Beneath the glamour, there’s a complexity, a mix of pride, hesitation, and a longing to be truly appreciated.
Step right up! You won’t believe what I have in store for you!
No time to pause now, the show must go on!
Sometimes… I wonder if anyone’s really watching at all.
