Rising of the Scumbag Hero

Project Overview

This is a new abridged series based off the hit anime Rising of the Shield Hero. The story will be similar to the original shield hero, but tweaked to make it funnier and interesting for people who have already seen the series!  My goal is to make at least the first season of the anime, although this will take a long amount of time to accomplish. If you'd like to join the project, apply today!

Ground Rules:

1. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 16 TO APPLY

2. IF YOU ARE PLAYING A MAJOR CHARACTER (e.g. Naofumi, Raphtalia, Filo, etc.) YOU MUST BE AVAILABLE FOR MOST OF RECORDING SESSIONS

3. YOU MUST OWN A DECENT QUALITY MIC (BLUE SNOWBALL OR BETTER)

  • Casting Decisions will be made tonight!

    Me and few of my buddies will be casting the characters tonight! We will be announcing them once we make our decision, and we will invite everyone who applied into the new discord server to get everyone in one place. By the way, we didn't cast every character in the episode, so if we think you're a good fit for another character, we'll contact you later to see if you're interested! I'll be putting the next update tomorrow after we make our decisions. Thank you, and best of luck to everyone! -Weebus Supremus

Naofumi

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Leddy

Naofumi is a scumbag who abuses drugs and alcohol, but he's an honest person. 

*THIS ROLE IS GOING TO BE INTENSE, A LOT WILL BE EXPECTED OF THIS ROLE*

  • Hold up, Murder Axe Slaughter Fest 3 is a KIDS GAME?

  • Okay, fuck you guys then. Well, I'm hitting the hay for tonight.

  • Well now I've go nowhere to stay. Maybe I could bum at Rob's place. Nah, he's got some "girlfriend" who doesn't want a "scumbag" around. Well fuck Rob then. No, not just Rob or my dad, fuck everyone. Fuck them all to hell.

Raphtalia

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Elli Reads

Raphtalia is probably gonna be the most difficult character to cast. Because of the way she ages throughout the story, her voice actor needs to be able to make a kid, tween, and teenage voice.

Other than that, she's very loyal to Naofumi, and is the only one who can stand Naofumi's antics. 

*THIS ROLE WILL BE MINOR UNTIL EPISODE 2, WHERE SHE WILL BE A SECOND MAIN CHARACTER*

  • (Kid) I will get revenge on that bitch who promised me my freedom!

  • (Tween) I don't know if eating those shrooms is a good idea, Naofumi.

  • (Teen) Naofumi, lay off the grass for TEN SECONDS and help me fight!

Motoyasu

Role assigned to: MercBandit

Motoyasu is obsessed with money and women to a fault. Basically, he's a simp and a nice guy (TM) for any attractive girl around him.

  • So, will we be getting help? I'd like some, preferably women between the ages of 18 and 20.

  • Well hi there King! I'm Motoyasu, I'm 21 and I love two things, money and women. In that order.

  • Actually, we should probably avoid talking about drugs in front of Itsuki.

Role assigned to: WildBore

Itsuki has the intellect of an eight year old. He sounds like a teenager trying to be younger. He also may be criminally insane.

  • In my favorite kids game, Murder Axe Slaughter Fest 3, the shield was the worst as well, couldn't hit anyone. 

  • Remember, if you see a big bad wolf trying to blow your house down, just stab it!

  • Hey I don't like being called a dumbass, it's mean.

Malty

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Scazza VO

Malty is going to be very similar to her original counterpart. The biggest difference between the show and my work is that she does not accuse Naofumi of sexual assault, rather she accuses him of other crimes. But she still has a manipulative personality.

  • Hey little demi-human scum! If you give me some clothes for me and my friend, I'll set you all free!

  • But is it really safe for you to be drinking all that wine? This is your 10th drink in the past hour.

  • This little scumbag dragged me around town, set the town on fire, stole equipment from a shop and inspired a slave revolt!

Role assigned to: The VA Battery

King Melromarc is the ruler of Melromarc(for now). He rules with an iron fist and won't hesitate to send people to the guillotine if they slightly anger him. However, he isn't a wise ruler.

  • Hello, brave heroes, to the country of Melromarc. I am the king, Aultcracy Melromarc the XXXII.

  • Alright, so we got a druggie, a greedy asshole, a weeaboo, and a dumbass.

  • Welp, send him to the guillotine.

General Voice Actor

Unpaid

This role is for extras or any other roles that aren't important enough to have dedicated roles. If I think your voice will work for any minor role, I'll contact you and you can be in the series. Also, this is a pretty good way to get involved with the voice acting if you don't get any main roles!

  • Damn, Naofumi is a piece of shit dude.

  • Wait, Motoyasu did WHAT!?!

  • *Come up with your own line!*
