“Project Fenfalt” follows the story of a troubled young-man named “Otis” and an outcast God named “Griffin'' as they explore concepts of right and wrong in a magical land preparing for war amidst dwindling resources. Experiencing conflict on both physical and psychological levels, Otis fights his past, present, and future alongside his best friend Birk to test the limits and extents of what one calls “fate.” It can be described as a fun twist on numerous cliches, falling into the categories of science fiction, mystery, drama, and dark-comedy.
This casting call is to recruit the voices of the remaining classmates of Otis and Birk for Episode Two and beyond, along with potential side animation content, comic dubs, and tests.

Lake is as cool as a cucumber. He loves soft things and sleep, is super chill, and goes with the flow on almost everything [frankly, he could care less]. He is a little nosey, matter of fact, and will point out the obvious when not asked for. Grew up with just his mother and him, an only child. Lake and Niko are two peas in a pod. To everyones’ consistent dismay, Lake tends to be a voice of reason at bizarre times.
Considerably small student budget, will attempt to work with your rates. You might be required to sign a small agreement / NDA
[casually, sarcastically, proud of himself, yet still “mic-dropping” in a cool and chill manner] You're just mad cause he's right. You do suck. My grandma could run faster than your scrawny as*, and she’s 6 feet in the ground.
[briefly solemn] I don’t know. I’m boring and ordinary. What’s even the point, ya know? [change of subject] Anyways, whatcha readin?
[had enough of everyones’ bs, just wants some shut eye, sleepy, comedic but angry] ALRIGHT. Who took my damn pillow? WHO TOOK IT?!?

Niko seems to be a kind, gentle, and intelligent young lad from a good family. Coming from parents with outstanding reputations in the public eye for their notoriety in academic achievement and extravagance, Niko suffers from perfectionism and high expectations to have perfect marks in all areas. He keeps it up, and all of his classmates despise him for it. Niko is content with a good book. However, underneath his surface, he is a deeply angry young man with a bit of a sharp tongue and an attitude. Niko and Lake are two peas in a pod. Niko despises Otis and Birk.

[fixing a mechanical arm, kind, polite] Would you pretty please pass me the little wrench? Thank you, I appreciate it. So you do a little twisty twisty… and, AH! It’s tight! Ok, try now! You are so welcome!
[smiling and saying is kindly yet detached] You guys really want to know what I think of you? Are you sure? Okay… well. You are a bunch of books with horrific endings, and frankly, I don't desire to get invested in wastewater.
[Laughing unsettling, angry and dumbfounded] You really think you can win this?!

Fern is a tough one. Competitive yet subconsciously directionless, she is constantly discovering new interests and questioning old ways. One thing is for certain: Fern wants to win. Whether that be in athletics, academics, or arguments, Fern is ought to be victorious. She does not have time for everyones’ stupid bull crap. Trying to discover what a “sense of humor” is... What is this “fun” you speak of? Consequently, Fern can be a little irritable. Leader of the insecure ones.

[warmth, somewhat calm and maybe a little sad and reflective] It’s pretty, isn’t it? Sometimes I sit here to try and… I don’t know, to relax…? To let my mind wander. The sun feels nice… it’s refreshing. You should try it sometime.
[confident, fight recovery, pumped up, maybe a little amusement/laughter] Bring it on, punk.
[yelling across the room, her last strand of patience has run dry] Oh for the love of Caspien just shut UP ALREADY YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE MY HEAD EXPLODE YOU YELLOW-HAIRED IDIOT!!!

Yukia puts on a tough guy persona. He is a kid who pulled a 180 growing from “the quiet, shy follower” into the abrasive guy flipping people off at eight in the morning. Pessimistic, yet still a lover of life [and quite stylish]… a free yet vengeful soul with a chip on his shoulder. Having survived a near-death accident a few years prior, he was never the same after the fact and has his walls up at almost all times. Very troubled in his personal life / estranged from his family. Yukia is the third roommate to Otis and Birk.

[storming into dorm room, annoyed, demanding, arrogant] Hey, idiot. It’s your turn to do dishes. Well, it says so on the wall. I don’t give a crap, do them or I’ll make sure you get woken up tonight.
[Loving the drama, with Robin, his pal] Ohhoho really now? He did what? [scoffing, letting out a rare laugh, pushing his hair back] Ah that makes me feel good, what a moron.
[Furious, rubbing the dirt and blood off his face, tearful, obviously in a little pain] That constitutes betrayal. You really think I actually care what happens to you?! Listen, I don’t think about your feelings, or your intentions, or your motives… what’s done is done. And it’s all your fault— [desperate, regretting his words, still caring for his foe] …no, WAIT!

[passionately and happily demonstrating a combat sequence, almost cursing and correcting himself] One, two, three, four! KACHOW, as*h– *dumby! [awkwardly chuckling, then seeing his disciple is not even paying attention, stifling his annoyance] Errr… are you, like, uh, even following along…?
[muttering, mockery] Those toddlers are literally the most annoying people on this planet and you can not convince me otherwise [eyes growing wide, worried, kindly] B-BUT they have good intentions. You must consider all of the pieces in a puzzle!
[out of breath, in an intense and dangerous fighting scenario, reflective and determined] AGH! I won’t let you guys down! I promised to be someone you guys could count on, so damn right I’ll deliver.

[encouraging] There there, it will all work out! I believe in ya! That may not be much in the big scheme, but I mean it. Keep your chin up, your smile… is… er… [trying to convince self, optimistic, the smile is not the warmest thing in the world, pushing his cheeks up in a smile forcefully] …it lights up a room! Uhuh!
[disappointed] Who hurt you? You didn’t have to go and ruin the fun…
[hyper and all over the place] Oh my— DID YOU SEE THAT?! HOLY CRAP THAT'S SO FREAKIN COOL!!!! I WANT TO TRY!! Cmon, LET ME AT IT! LET ME AT ITTTT!

Maple is one of the more scientific/technical folks who hides from people. She suffers from the world’s largest lack of self-esteem but is kind to her core and can lend a hand in almost any medical or technical area where her assistance is required. Due to her bad eyesight, Maple does not partake in a lot of the training and instead opts in for using her mind instead. She has a habit of following Fern around since she is timid and shy in contrast to Fern’s outgoing personality.

[curious and kind, surprised someone is approaching] Huh? Did ya need something? Can I help in any way? [Happy, a little excited] Oh yeah I have so many books on that one, uhhh [scrambling to put papers away] hold on, come with me, to the library we go, bring your water!
[saying sorry for saying sorry] I’m sorry I didn’t mean to apologize… wait, DARN! I’m sorry – OH NO! Please excuse me, I have to go, ugh, I don’t know! BYE! FOR NOW! AHHHhh
[sad, venting, a deep sigh] It feels like no matter what is to be faced, I still somehow manage to flub things up. It just feels like there’s roadblocks in all directions.

Clay is a very spiritual dude. Too bad he wrongfully uses it for slight manipulation and to get out of his obligations and responsibilities. Up at sunrise to stretch on the cliffside, Clay is a guru of meditation and herbal remedies. When caught off guard, he will trip up, change personality, and fall on his face. He lives with a mechanical left leg, which busts quite often. Even with this, he still wears flip flops. Don’t visit his dorm, he might just give you a tarot card reading. If it’s an accurate one, he will be just as surprised as you.

[somewhat poorly swan-posing on one leg and keeping his balance, spiritual and peaceful] Ooooooo forfeittttt all of your worries and woes to the spirits above, they will take you on a journey into the void of truth, which was inside your own heart all along, oOooooOo, forfeit your reality to the hypothetical one, my dear gothic comradde.
[reading palms, annoyed as it is his lunch break] What fantastic palmar flexion creases, the “sun” line, the “heart” line, the “fate” line, the “piss-off” line…
[leg jamming, pain, tripping and falling, somewhat deserved] OWE! CRAP! It broke again the son of a… why, THE HOLY SPIRITS ABOVE HAVE CURSED ME, I must have left something out of my offering this morning, Caspien have mercy on us all!!! now one of you help me before I die down here.
