Remember the Future (HYPE for Historical Figures) 2
Project Overview
This is what I hope to be the starting of a series I have wanted to do for a very very long time.
Remember the Future is a action series that pits some of the worst Killers from history against each other... however... the machine that had taken these historical figures can not distinguish between depraved psychopaths and those who took life out of self defense. The machine can't even distinguish folks who took life in their written materials as opposed to their actual physical realities.
Thus... the cast of characters will include the likes of such Monsters as Jack the Ripper, Albert Fish, Vlad the Impaler, etc.
As well as Heroes such as Teddy Roosevelt, J.R.R. Tolkien, Bruce Lee, etc.
In order to level the playing field... each individual is given a special weapon/resource that makes it so no one's time of life is a hinderance against those from a later date.
This casting call is for what I'd like to call the ember phase...
Meaning, we'll start out small... then work our way up to pitting the Historical Figures against each other...
For now... I want to build the hype up around these folks who have left their mark in our history of the world.
I am aiming to Hype them up in a series of Speedpaints acting as a way to introduce the Historical Figure, and narrate it in the same way you would see from a Pro Wrestling announcement... which I will provide such cadence for...
(The Explainer vid is to give an example of what exactly I am going for)
However... I also thought it would be a cool idea to have the Historical Figures themselves say a little bit about themselves.
This series is inspired by Drifters, Record of Ragnarok, Hunger Games, Battle Royale, ERB, Genndy Tartakovsky, Frank Miller, and even Super Smash Bros.
Here is a list of the Historical Figures I have in mind… feel free to suggest more…

DISCLAIMER: Roles are subject to being cast before the “DeadLine.” Partly because each Historical Figure will be receiving their own dedicated episode. Also because some characters tend to get auditioned for sooner/more so than others.

but I will say...
Anything I want... I get...
Anyone who joins my crew... obeys... without question...
Splendid...
Now then...
I've got ships to raid...
gold to collect...
and fools to cut... or shoot... I'm not pedantic about such things...

Renowned for her Beauty, Strength, Intellect, and Patriotism... she is viewed as a heroine of her people...
However... she also had sever very demonic traits.
Such as killing her brother and her mother in order to ascend to the throne....
Or using her servants as furniture, then executing them saying, "The Queen does not use the same chair twice.
Also having a numerous harem of captured men to feed her great libido. Usually forcing them to fight each other to the death for her favor.
Also Also (allegedly) practicing cannibalism... and attempting to reintroduce cannibalism as a social norm.
Idea of Character: Playful / Intelligent / Flirty / Arrogant / Low Key Demonic

A boxing legend, Muhammad Ali was a man who always talked a big game, claiming to be the world's greatest... and He Proved it to be true.
A man with strength, speed, and ring awareness, Ali is a fighting force to be reckoned with... and a poet to be met with recognition.
This role would be unique because I can imagine Ali taking over the narration all together... Hyping himself up rather than having an announcer do so in this situation.
Idea of Character: Cocky / Quick Witted / Brash / Chatty / Poetic / Energetic
How Character Speaks:

The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer.
There are many men who feel a kind of twisted pride in cynicism;
there are many who confine themselves to criticism of the way others do what they themselves dare not even attempt.
There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement.
