Overlord Volume 1
Project Overview
I am currently in the process of converting the book text into a script, so the casting call may change before the deadline if I find that I added a character with no lines or missed a character who does have lines. If you are accepted for a role that I remove, I will do my best to find a role for you to do or reserve the role for you until I begin the relevant volume.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry about the character images. I will edit them as soon as I have the chance.
Edit: My deepest apologies for the character pictures. For whatever reason, I am unable to replace them with properly edited pictures, or remove them.

This role will read all non character lines.
The maid was a Non-Player Character (NPC). Within the game, these artificial intelligences only move according to their program. In other words, they were the same as moving mannequins, and even its bow to Momonga was just a pre-programmed action.
There wasn’t a single trace left of the battle that just happened on the field. The blood covering the grasslands was concealed by the afterglow of the setting sun and the smell of blood in the air was also blown away by the strong winds.
A voice came, carried by the wind. The scene in front of their eyes was just that unbelievable. Almost forty Angels were destroyed after getting engulfed by the wave of darkness. His opponent didn’t use some kind of spell that banished summons.
"Realize now, Shalltear. You face Ainz Ooal Gown, with the combined might of all Forty-One Supreme Beings from the beginning, you had no chance of victory."
"You dare to chase little girls, but don’t have the courage to stand against enemies?"
"I will announce the goal for everyone turn Ainz Ooal Gown into an eternal legend. If there are many heroes, then we will replace them all. Let the entire world know that Ainz Ooal Gown is the true hero!"
Although this is the same character as Momonga, this role will be his inner monologue. Unlike his speaking voice, this voice should sound like a normal human. It will be younger, clearer, and more innocent.
"As the guild master, it's about time I started ordering NPCs around."
"I knew she had a legendary item before, but why does she has two now?"
Time is running out. This virtual world will end and I will return to my everyday life. This is obvious. People cannot live in a virtual world, so everyone will have to leave sooner or later. Tomorrow I'll have to get up at 4am. I need to go to sleep immediately after the server shutdown, so that it won't affect my work tomorrow.
Albedo is the Overseer of the Floor Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. She is in charge of the general management and supervises the activities of the seven Floor Guardians, meaning that she ranks above all the other NPCs in Nazarick. She is the sister of Nigredo and Rubedo. She was created by Tabula Smaragdina.
"The absolute ruler of us all, our greatest master and also my most beloved person."
"He is the one who wears the name of Ainz Ooal Gown, the one who rules over us all, the one who is both high and supreme. Such a being has declared his victory with his name."
"You lower lifeforms! T-, to dare to do this kind of thing to our most beloved ruler Ainz-sama! To make my favorite and most loved person feel pain, is to not know your own abilities! I absolutely will not forgive you. I will let you taste the most amount of pain you have ever felt until you go mad! Using acid to corrode your four limbs, then cut off your genitals, make them into mincemeat and make you eat them! After that use healing spells to cure you! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Damn! Damn damn damn damn, my heart is about to explode!"
Demiurge is a floor guardian of the seventh floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick and the Commander of the NPC Defenses. He was created by Ulbert Alain Odle.
"If you wish, I will immediately bring the armies of Nazarick and take this jewel box. Presenting this gift to my beloved Momonga-sama, would be Demiurge’s greatest honor.”
"First would be the healing magic experiment. If you cut off an arm and cast healing on the wound, the arm that was cut off would disappear. What happens if you let them eat the arm that was cut off and cast healing, would the nutrition disappear? If we repeat this indefinitely, will the one eating starve to death?"
Ainz-sama is the last Supreme Being who remains here. Knowing that he faces a situation where his life may be in peril, it is our responsibility to come up with a plan to remove that danger.
"First, second, and third Floor Guardian, Shalltear Bloodfallen, at your command."
"Are you one of those? The type that doesn’t understand how high the sky is? Do you think you can touch the stars simply by reaching for them? That type of naivety should be reserved for children like Aura. It’s just disgusting with an adult."
"Ahhhh, Long live Ainz Ooal Gown–sama. You are supreme, truly the strongest existence in all of Nazarick."
"Unlike you, an undead who has no future. Oh so pitiful you will never reach puberty."
"Want to kill it? If you want to kill it, I want its skin. I think it would yield great leather."
"Sixth floor’s Guardian Aura Bella Fiora, at your command."
"I, I do not want to see intruders. I would become afraid."
"Sixth Floor Guardian Mare Bello Fiore, at your command."
"Fifth Floor Guardian Cocytus, at your command."
"A sword does not think, swung to the will of its master, it only cuts."
"This might be rude for the warriors who came with the resolve to die, but know this, only death awaits all who cross beyond these ice pillars."
"There is only one being who can use that title. The one who stands above all. How dare some lesser undead like you use it."
"Taking you easy? No, you are the ones who're taking me easy. My name is Sebas. The one who gave me my name is the strongest warrior. The master I serve is a Supreme Being. But, I can see it’s no use talking about him to lower creatures such as yourselves. I grow tired of talking. Let’s finish this."
Gazef Stronoff was the Warrior Captain of the Re-Estize Kingdom and he was also King Ramposa III's personal royal bodyguard. He was considered to be the Strongest Warrior of the Kingdom.
"Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown! My name is Gazef Stronoff, the Warrior-Captain of the Re-Estize Kingdom! I formally request a duel with you!"
"My friend, let us show the villagers what it means to face dangerous while willing to sacrifice our lives, knowing that the brave will come to rescue and that it is true that the strong will help the weak."
"I am the Warrior-Captain of the Re-Estize Kingdom! I am a man who loves and defends his country! How can I lose to bastards like you who stain my country with your footsteps!"
Being raised by a loving family, Enri has grown up to be a kind person but has shown to have a strong character. As seen when she willingly sacrifices herself for her little sister. She shows great leadership, being the new village head and defending the town from monsters with the other villagers.
"The Grim Reaper has come to take us away. Please let us die painlessly"
*Scream like you are about to be cut in half by a sword and die with your younger sister in your arms.*
"Before we are called forth by God, everyone has things that he or she keeps in their heart. Especially things that cause misfortune when said. But if keeping these secrets cause misfortune to others, that would be another matter. I won’t detest you for this, so no matter what crimes you committed, it would be better to surrender yourself to the authorities!"
Herohero is an Elder Black Ooze, one of the strongest slime-type race. His appearance is merely a mass of a black, sticky substance. His tar-like surface roils and writhes continuously, never staying in one shape for more than a second. In the Anime, he looks like a blue slime.
"It was thanks to your presence that we were able to enjoy this game to the fullest. Next time we meet, it would sure be nice if it was in Yggdrasil II."
Ugh. I really just want to run away from it all. But I gotta eat, so I'm working my ass off and getting whipped like a slave.
Nemu is described as a young little girl with reddish-brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a woolen clothes and pigtails.
"That's amazing! Gown-sama and Gown-sama’s friends are all amazing!"
"Yes! I wanna see! I want to see the amazing house Gown-sama and his friends made!"
*Laugh, cry, and scream.*
Nigun Grid Luin was the captain of the Sunlight Scripture of the Slane Theocracy. He was ordered to assassinate the Re-Estize Kingdom’s strongest warrior, Gazef Stronoff.
"Your ignorance is saddening and you will pay for your foolishness."
"Such a thing can't happen! Simply impossible! No one is able to just use one spell and destroy a high level Angel! Where are you from Ainz Ooal Gown!? A person like you can’t be some unknown figure! What is your real name!?"
"If you had just chosen to abandon the villagers in the frontier, then it wouldn't have ended like this. It's impossible for you to be unaware that your life alone is worth more than the lives of a thousand peasants. If you really loved your country, you would have abandoned these villagers."
"Maid uniforms are justice!"
Short lived soldier who is far more competent and brave than his superior.
"Ditz! Morite! Quickly cut off the heads of those that died. If you don't, they will come back to life as zombies!
An older man who is the leader of Carne Villiage. Very few lines.
“We know that, but please allow us to thank you nonetheless. Because of your help many villagers were able to survive.”
"I'm sorry, b-but who are you?"
Touch Me (たっち・みー) is one of the original founders of Ainz Ooal Gown and one of the strongest warriors in YGGDRASIL. He is the creator of Sebas Tian. He was the clan leader of the Nine's Own Goal before changing to Ainz Ooal Gown.
"Ulbert-san, don’t you remember that some people need the rare drop from the Fire Giant Boss, Surt?"
"Saving someone who is in trouble is common sense!"
This role will never be filled, although, I will need specific lines
Manly soldier screams
"Let, let me go! I am begging you! I will do anything you ask!"
"Aaargh—— I, I'll give you money, let, let me-"General dying noises.
Among all of the guild members, Ulbert Alain Odle was the person who is fixated on the word "evil" the most, since he suffered from Chuunibyou. He is also one of the members who suggested that they should take over the world as a joke. Ulbert usually argued with Touch Me, mostly due to their competitive streak. However, Momonga thinks of their arguments as a pleasant memory, and believes they were still good friends with each other.
"If they make it to this point, let's give the heroes a grand welcome. There's a lot of players saying we're evil and whatnot, so why not wait for them majestically inside like final bosses?"
Warrior Takemikazuchi is a risk taker and wants to enjoy the game to the fullest like a fool during his time as a clan member of the Nine's Own Goal in YGGDRASIL.
"Well, I'm not going to say Touch-san is wrong or that he’s cowardly, but dungeon delves that he plans aren’t really exciting. I still want to take part in this foolish expedition and flail around like an idiot. Momonga-san, you’re the best. I knew picking you as Guildmaster was the right choice."
"I came here because this was what I wanted to do. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I’ve always wanted to predict the foe’s tactics in a battle with no clear means of victory. Plus, if I’m backed up by you guys, that move of mine might."Gallery Edit
It seems she had a cheerful nature and enjoyed playing pranks on her friends. She often quarreled with Peroroncino, insisting that a younger brother must obey his older sister. Her thoughts affected the relationship between Aura and Mare.
"Oi, dumbass brother of mine. Remember this well — mind your manners, even if you get along with people. Especially when you crack your dirty jokes. Don't embarrass me just because you get excited around friends. Got it?"
Peroroncino was known in his guild for his perversion and love of H-games. His personality is reflected in his creation, Shalltear, who was designed to have the most sexual fetishes out of all the NPCs in Nazarick. He was the type who enjoyed joking around and disliked damaging relations between companions.
"Buying equipment skins is like buying fap materials. Regardless of whether you'll use it or not, it's always better to have a copy stored somewhere."
Punitto Moe is a cautious and calculative person, he is very careful with his plans and need to be well prepared before the operation. He is good at scheming like selling information to his enemies to make them fight with each other. He values knowledge and doesn't need to share knowledge with everyone only a select few need to know.
"Turmoil is the failure of a country, you must always maintain a level-headed and logical way of thinking. Keep calm, plan ahead, and don't waste your time thinking about insignificant things, Momonga-san."
Yamaiko has a kind and gentle personality. She talks politely and has a friendly relationship with her guildmates.
"It seems you're always trying to sound like a cute kid when there's no need to. Your voice as Kazecchi is pleasant enough, so there’s no need for that, right?"
Very minor role, but getting this role will give you a leg up on another bigger Maid role in future books.
