![[Animated YT Original] Project Broken Episode 1 Part 1](https://d1m9vqlvl3fy94.cloudfront.net/project/attachment/43532/done.jpg)
Currently, the story revolves around two people who each have a similar goal, “have a place to call their home, with a family they can love”. However, as simple as it may be, many things stand in the way of their goal. Each on their way to reclaiming what was once stolen from them, their paths cross and attempt to destroy one another.
The “villain”, Yoichi Cardwood has lived all his life as the “cursed” child. Many had believed it was his mother's fault for making the Elven economy suffer, many curse his mother for falling in love with a human and producing this “bad luck charm”. To rid themselves of this terrible luck for the country, shouldn’t it be okay to clean it of one small mistake? Certainly, his whole family is cursed as well.
The “Hero”, Sanji Kemenji has lived all his life as the “bright” child. Loved by his mother and many people around him, he seems to light up the world wherever he goes. Though despite him calling his house in the slums is home, it seems the King enjoys her company a bit too much. To produce a future child of the kingdom, shouldn’t it be okay to “borrow” her for just a little bit? Certainly, it should, he is the king after all.

Project Broken, a story unveiled almost one year ago, has grown in the number of people who decided to join. “A story about how two paths may cross and try to destroy one another, in the search to reach their goals.” Based off the Japanese cartoon style, Anime, it is going to be a full-length Original anime, around 26 episodes, each being 23 minutes long (19 minutes content +/-, Opening, and ending).
The story has an original soundtrack as well as original characters, writing, and animation. The animation is 2d, and currently, we have four concept artists, two background artists, five storyboarders and five animators. As for the composing side, we have five composers, and one lead composer.
Currently, this is a volunteer-only basis. Please don’t expect to be paid. Despite this, we have many people who love this project and acknowledge this. If somehow this project blows up like RWBY does, I will donate all money to the artists, animators, and composers first. Thanks.
Can you animate? Only a few seconds? Only a few minutes? A hour? Any amount of time is fine! We enjoy having you on board. Even if it's the roughs, inbetweens or final animation, we would enjoy you on the team!
If you worry about having to animate ten minutes or think, “Shoot, 19 minutes sounds like a lot”, don’t worry. I guarantee no animator will ever have to animate more than 3 minutes if it comes to that. And since we have no time limit as in “a new episode every week”, We can take a month if we need to. But since everyone will be working together, no one will have to take the burden on of animating a lot.
Say something you think would fit
His current age, around eighteen years old, he had grown up with Harrison and his younger sister... Once he left the slums, he returned back to his playful, cute self. He is very playful, always mischievous, and hardly ever serious or gets mad. He cares deeply for all of his friends and rarely will fight with them. He acts much like a child, and will always try to explore, have fun, or be relaxed. Unlike Harrison, he treats Gen exactly like a brother and forgets often that he is a servant. With girls, since all his clients were males, he finds them more gentle and innocent than males. He easily gets embarrassed around females, mostly because he doesn’t know how to deal with them, and he will always have a smile on his face.
Ollie is my little cinnabun! He is adorable, young sounding and upbeat. He is your good old happy-go-lucky kind of voice.
Notes about each lines!
The first line:
Here is Ollie, his first interaction with a girl. And this girl is of much higher status than him, and he's starting to get a really bad crush on her. Never mind that. Now, this girl is changing in front of him, of course, she is completely covered but he doesn't know that. He just sees it as them alone, in a room and she stripping. But, anyone would become flustered at that, right?
The Second Line:
Ollie is somewhat confessing to this girl, but he can't put it in the right words... A nervous little cinnabun, how adorable!
Third Line:
Ollie is enraged. One of the only times he ever gets angered, but he is quite scary when he yells. He's trying to protect someone he deeply cares for after all.
Embarrassed, Stuttering through words: What are you doing- I didn’t come in here for this! I’m not sure how ready I am yet for kids either- especially with a diplomat from another country- if this gets out, I’m surely going to get fired or worse-
[Flustered] “You are much different than a lot of the women my lord has interacted with. Many talk about money and luxuries, which aren’t fun to talk about. I-I haven’t heard you talk about such things. You always talk about such fascinating things, about your life and your home country… Even your way of life and culture. All of these things have certainly caught my eye--”
[Enraged] Prince Elliot has spoken nothing but lies the entire time of this meeting! His words are nothing but lies! He speaks no truth at all!
Around Age 20. Although classified as uptight, strict and one to keep people in line, he is almost never playful or sad. Though, he can’t be classified as mean or cruel. Everything he does has a reason, and usually that reason is for the best of the other person. Although he never shows it, he quite cares for Ollie and Levlin’Est and gets worried when one of them are hurt or in trouble. He’s very protective of Ollie, and when he isn’t, he usually has a good reason. Although he tries to make everyone proper and uptight, he never will bash someone for having fun unless it’s at the wrong time. Despite him seeming to be always uptight, around Elliot, he completely crumbles and becomes silent and docile, while when he’s alone with Gen, he’s less uptight, although, it’s in his nature to “advise” Gen on certain things.
A stern, mature and serious voice really suits Harrison. He has hints of authority in his voice, as he acts as an advisor to royalty.
Notes about each lines!
First Line:
He is quite the butler, always making sure people are on time. For this case, his is quite annoyed that his group is departing late.
Second Line:
After heading back to his old home in the slums, he remembers it as a harsh and cold place., a place where others will willingly sell each other out for food.... However, when he meets a certain female, he is quite shocked at how caring she is towards her son, and he changes his tone completely.
Third Line:
After betraying his closest friend, he has only one reason why he stayed around. For this woman he dearly cares for. Though, his lord has other intentions for her, and he is doing everything in his power to not yell at him..
(stiffly)
If you two would please move along, get her dressed and let us leave. Need I remind you that our ship is scheduled to leave port before midday.
[Softening his tone, gently] I believe you misunderstand. We are not here for your body, nor are we here to sell you into slavery… What I said earlier makes it sound we have impure intentions. Please come with us; I am sure I can clear some confusion…
[His tone is harsh, and he is doing everything in his power not to yell out] You don't know what you are doing.. You are making a mistake, Elliot. A very big one.
King Torrah the Renowned or King Torrah is the youngest king to date, as his father had died at a “Young” age of 87. As most elven die in their hundreds, that death of the previous king had been seen as early. Since most kings become kings at around age thirty, he is the youngest prince yet at only age twenty. He had no troubles in his past, other than him being a child that loved to play with magic and learn all about it, he is quite confident in his battle skills and his magic. Graduating far above everyone else in his class for magic, (although only decent at everything else), he was quickly pushed through the ranks in the military, being one of the strongest in his entire empire. He was only eighteen when he saw his father’s health decline and eventually die when he was about to turn twenty. He didn’t wish to take the seat of King, instead, he wished to become an explorer or rogue, as he had heard of unexplored continents and other continents full of culture and lore he must have known. Though, now as a king, he is confined to as far as he can get before guards take him back to the palace. Because of him being King, he tries to have as many explorations and diplomats explore other countries and unexplored countries as possible.
His personality can be classified as curious, playful and full of wonder. He rarely is seen as rude or loud, but he isn’t one to sit around and listen to boring meetings. He happily gets along with everyone on the council, and he highly respects them all for all the work they have done for the country. Though, he isn’t disrespectful to any of them, he does ignore a lot of the elders, because he likes to listen to himself. Self assured and confident, there isn’t much that he will back down from, except love. He is quite terrible with females, as he accidentally tends to “friendzone” them. Anyway, he’d totally love to fall in love with someone, get his first kiss out of the way, anything someone young would want.
Quite an upbeat, high energy voice. Despite this, when he is serious he has a very stern, serious voice...
Note: I did originally mean to make this a male only character, but if you females believe you can make his voice sound pretty cool, go for it.
(Slight Laughter, Joyful)
That’s quite a loaded question, human. It’s merely because no other forces can melt the ice fortress of ours, our ice sheets have blocked out foreign diplomats and traders for centuries on end. It fascinates me how such a human as yourself got through the ice without our help!
(Slightly Annoyed)
We Ice Elves have no interest in Gold and Silver! Trade and bartering are our only wishes..
(Sternly, Somewhat angered)
Everyone, please quiet down. Ignore the human. Silence everyone immediately. Why is it you are bowing before me, Levlin’Est? What is it that you have brought with you back to our homelands?
Unlike Harrison or Ollie, due to her situation being much worse than them, she is mostly sheltered and quiet. She rarely speaks, and when she does, it is with a hint of sadness. She is always still like a doll but when she walks, she is seen as graceful and peaceful. She rarely cries or gets sad, just as rare is her smile or happiness. She seems like a shell of her previous self and listens to what she is told. She has no shred of resistance or anything left in her to put up a fight or any defiance. She rarely says no, and works just like a servant. She is not terrified of Elliot and is just accepting of him.
Because she has been locked in the palace often, she has rarely had the chance to find out her likes and dislikes. Most of her “likes” are just things that servants must do, such as cleaning and cooking. Though, despite her liking cooking, cleaning and baking, she hardly likes being with the company of Elliot. She has no feelings around being Harrison and Ollie, and only sees them as fellow servants. She likes the flowers and agriculture outside, although, she’s thankful she is not a groundskeeper like some of the slaves in the palace. She tries to always like everything that is placed before her because she has seen many people die before her, both her family, other servants and slaves. She has been to many public executions, and she realizes she has to do everything she is told to prevent her from being there.
Geraldine is a soft spoken, timid person. She is quite monotone. When she does get angered, she does sound much more feminine. However, most of the time she has quite a soft voice.
[Somewhat Upset] Gen, it took me forever to clean up your room. You left books all over the floor and your writing utensils as well... Your meeting must have been important to leave the room in such a state.
[Confused] Child, why is it you want to play? Shouldn’t you be studying under the guidance of Harrison?
[Somewhat Angered] My lord. I do not wish for any place in your heart.
