Rogues of Remnant || RWBY Abridged Fan Project [UPDATED - FINAL ROUND OF CASTING]
Project Overview
FINAL ROUND OF CASTING
Welcome to Rogues of Remnant! We are a group compiled of RWBY fans who want to create a prosperous project all having to do with the RWBY characters and their world of Remnant!
From this project, you can expect:
- an abridged series of the show
- Podcasts
- Comic Dubs
- D&D Nights
AND MORE!
This is a project created by RWBY fans for RWBY fans, so this is an unpaid project. If you decide to be a part of our community, I know that you will not regret the community that you will form with your fellow cast and crewmates. Even if you are not a member of our VA team or crew, feel free to join our discord! We have a lot of fun in our community, and we love discussing RWBY as well as just creative things in general.
Roles are organized from top to bottom based on the significance of the characters. Within those categories, the characters are further organized by how soon they will appear in the show.
While we do look for voice accuracy in auditions, it is NOT the primary thing we look for. The most important thing we look for in auditions is how well you embody the character. For example, you could sound like Ambrosius's VA 100%, but if you cannot express his flamboyant personality and the presence of his character, you most likely will not be cast. Expressiveness is so incredibly important.
We will be using lines from the actual show as the audition lines just to get a feel for how you interpret the character. Again, do not worry about vocal accuracy towards the actual show, but please do play towards the ages of the characters.
We are also looking for video editors as well! Payment as of now is TBD but we would hope to eventually be able to compensate editors properly.

The deadline has been extended to August 31st! Also, Sun Wukong is now available to audition for!
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Roman Torchwick is the primary antagonist for Volume 1. He is a crime boss in Vale whose main ambition for the first volume is to steal as much Dust as possible in order to fuel a greater scheme. His partner-in-crime is Neo, a neopolitan-themed girl who is the prime definition of silent but deadly. Roman is used as a pawn to assemble a partnership between the Vale branch of the White Fang organization and Cinder's faction of antagonists. He is very snarky, sly and sinister as shown by him having no remorse for others around him. He can even be a bit flirty in order to get his way.
In our abridged version, Roman suffers from a Main Character Complex where he always believes himself to be the center of the story and never fails to remind people of that fact. He is over the top and theatrical, but also dark and sinister at the same time.
VOCAL CHARACTERISTICS
Throughout Roman's appearance in the show, he is in his early 30s. He can sound very sly, mischievous, and sarcastic but isn't afraid to show off his angry side as well. Medium-low to low adult male voice.

[pointing his weapon] "Well, 'Red', I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening. And as much as I'd love to stick around, I'm afraid this is where we part ways..."
[sarcastic] "Oh look! She sent the kids again! This is turning out just like the divorce."
[flirty] "Hello, kitty cat. You miss me? You know we really gotta stop meeting like this. People are gonna talk..."
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Nora Valkyrie is one of the four members of Team JNPR, the secondary team of the show. She has a close relationship with Lie Ren, her best friend that she has known since childhood. She's inhumanely energetic and powerful, comically shown to be able to lift a 1000lb weight. She deeply cares about the bond between her teammates, and she's willing to use whatever power she has to defend them. While she seems a bit floaty and dreamy at times, she can also be down-to-earth and isn't afraid to speak her mind in moments of turmoil.
VOCAL CHARACTERISTICS
Medium to medium-high young female vocal range. Has an interesting, slightly raspy twang to her voice. Prone to yelling or intense exclamations, so be wary before you audition

[motivational] "You heard the lady! No more moping around! We gotta get your butt in shape for the big fight! It could be today! It could be tomorrow! It could be the most important fight in your entire life!"
[defensive] "Don't make it sound trivial when you know it isn't. You keep talking about how we just need a little more time, but you're not the one having to struggle."
[disappointed] "How would you know? We were supposed to be a team, but that didn't matter to you! When things went wrong, you pushed us away. You shut people out so you don't have to feel things that are hard!"
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Oscar Pine is a young boy who had dreamt about leaving his farm home in pursuit of a more exciting life. His life ends up changing after the Fall of Beacon when his own entity is merged with the soul of former Beacon Headmaster, Professor Ozpin. He is very innocent, but he is not afraid of doing whatever it takes to accomplish the right thing. His way of solving conflicts does not occur through violence, but by using the wisdom bestowed to him.
VOCAL CHARACTERISTICS
Oscar is 14 years old during his first appearance, aging slowly throughout the future volumes. He has a young, boyish, slightly raspy voice. He is quite shy at times, but can also be very bold as he grows to be stronger and braver.

(PLEASE DO NOT FOCUS ON MATCHING THE VOICE PERFECTLY. THIS IS HERE PURELY AS A REFERENCE.)
[reminiscing; speaking with Ozpin in his head] "You know...the weirdest part is how it feels. Leaving home is crazy. Going to the city is crazy. Everything you've told me is completely crazy. But...it doesn't feel crazy anymore. It feels like I'm doing the right thing."
[vulnerable] "I'm... scared. I'm more scared than I've ever been in my life, than I ever thought was possible. I always knew I wanted to be more than a farmhand, but this? Who would ask for this?"
[lashing out] "How can you be so confident?! People have tried to kill you! The world's about to go to war all over again! How are you okay with any of this?!"
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Sun Wukong is the leader of Team SSSN. He is a very fun and mischievous monkey Faunus who has described himself as a "great stowaway". He is very laid-back and casual while participating in day-to-day conversation, but when thrust into life outside of the academy setting, he becomes much more hard-working, loyal and honest. He strives towards being a better leader for his teammates, Sage, Scarlet and Neptune.

[relieved] "Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you've given me nothing but small talk and weird looks! Yeah, like that."
[snarky] "We normally go to the city with you guys, which means stuff's always exploding and junk, so we thought this might be a better way of checking out the kingdom when it's...you know...normal."
[honest; soft-spoken] "You think you're being selfless, but you're not. Yeah, that chameleon friend of yours got me pretty good. But I'd do it all again if it meant protecting you."
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Kali is the mother of Blake Belladonna. She is very protective over her family, but she also loves to carry a sense of smugness while carrying a light conversation. She gets feisty and aggressive when her home is being endangered.
VOCAL CHARACTERISTICS
Kali has a sultry-esque voice. Low female vocal range. Kali is roughly in her late 40s. When in action however, her battle cries are very intense, so any auditionees must keep that in mind when auditioning for this role.

(caring) "We were horrified when we heard the news. The Kingdom of Vale wasn't perfect, but it certainly didn't deserve what happened. Oh, we were both so worried."
(sly) "You've never been very talkative, but that boy you brought home loves to run his mouth. I want to hear more about the adventures of Team RWBY."
(awkwardly) "Oh! Oh, dear, would you look at that! He's awake! Thank goodness!"
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Harriet is a member of the AceOps of Atlas. She's the most hot-headed of the group, and she doesn't consider any of her teammates as friends.

VOCAL CHARACTERISTICS

(PLEASE DO NOT FOCUS ON MATCHING THE VOICE PERFECTLY. THIS IS HERE PURELY AS A REFERENCE.)
(explaining her relationship with her team) "We get along well enough, sure. I count on them to keep me alive. They do the same. But that's the job. We don't confuse the two."
(cocky) "You think you're going to stop us? We're the best huntsman in Atlas."
(lashing out) "I really had you pegged as the most level-headed of the bunch, but I guess you're just as naive. Feelings don't matter, the job matters. When you lose someone on your team, you move on. Replace them, like Marrow replaced Tortuga and Winter replaced-"
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Elm is a member of the AceOps of Atlas. She is very much the pillar for the team and tries to keep everyone in check as much as possible. In terms of brawn, Elm is by far the strongest member. She is very headstrong, and she always follows the orders given to her by General Ironwood.
VOCAL CHARACTERISTICS
Elm is roughly in her mid to late-20s. Low female vocal range. She has quite a dramatic voice. She has scenes where she speaks in a very serious tone and others where she is friendly and outgoing.

(casually embarrassed) "I feel so bad, honestly! If we had known who you were, we'd be laughing over a hot meal right now and-"
(decisive) "We don't let feelings get in the way of making the right call. Trading three lives for one is stupid."
(pleading) "Because you're our friend! And we won't let you go through with this!"
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Robyn Hill is the leader of the Happy Huntresses, a group of women dedicated to protecting the citizens of Mantle.

(PLEASE DO NOT FOCUS ON MATCHING THE VOICE PERFECTLY. THIS IS HERE PURELY AS A REFERENCE.)
(questioning) "How 'bout you, pipsqueak? Five o'clock shadow? Either of you want to tell me why Mantle's being put at risk for Ironwood's pet project?"
(opening herself up while jailed) "Believe it or not, I know a little of what that's like. When people are worried you're going to snuff out their secrets, they tend to push you away. It makes a real connection...difficult."
(trying to snap some sense into someone) "Listen, I get it. You are hurting. You've been hurting for a long time. But let's stop pretending that what you're trying to doing here is for anyone but yourself. Clover was a lot of things. You respected him, but I gotta tell ya, I think you're a better huntsman. Not because you're the one who walked away, but, because you're the one who was fighting for what was right. Don't go telling me that's changed."

(menacingly) "I believe it's time our dear chieftain stepped down, brother."
(seething anger) "What have you done...? You ruined everything...EVERYTHIIIIIIIIIING!"

(PLEASE DO NOT FOCUS ON MATCHING THE VOICE PERFECTLY. THIS IS HERE PURELY AS A REFERENCE.)
(scolding) "You should beg for forgiveness and nothing else! The assault you led on Beacon was not the great victory you clearly think it was, and you should be more grateful your punishment was not more severe. You are a symbol for many in our organization, but that doesn't make you infallible."
(authoritative) "I'm starting to doubt either of you fully comprehend what it is that I want. I want humanity to fear the Faunus, to know that we demand respect! I do not want to start a war with the humans that we cannot win!"
(slightly smug) "Adam - if you continue along this path, you might just find yourself standing beside me at my throne."

(slightly impressed) "I know...and while you don't seek knowledge, just this once, I shall give it freely. I will not allow you to use me without a question again...even if this was clever."
(annoyed) "So just to be clear, none of you have a question for me?"

(surprised to see guests at home) "Why, hello there! Wow, quite a party, you weren't kidding. Hun, can I get some help please?"
(thankful then curious) "You all risk so much to keep people like us safe. It's the least we can do. Especially for such an elite huntsman like yourself. Although, I will say I was surprised to learn you had students helping you. Is that even...legal?"
(giving instructions) "Okay, remember: one, the radar box is separate from the rest of the communications equipment. So if you disconnect it properly, it won't take out comms for the rest of the city. Two, this conversation never happened."

She has a long and conflicted history with Maria Calavera, lasting until both women were even into their elderly years. She appears to be high and mighty and shows the utmost loyalty to General Ironwood and the Kingdom of Atlas. Cordovin most definitely believes in the supremacy of the military.

(PLEASE DO NOT FOCUS ON MATCHING THE VOICE PERFECTLY. THIS IS HERE PURELY AS A REFERENCE.)
(warning) "You thought you could undermine my authority? If you don't return my ship this INSTANT, I will make an example out of you. I will show you the true might of Atlas!"
(confident) "You little spider-coaches thought you could creep your way into Atlas?! Well, let's see how your resolve holds out against the might of the Atlesian Military!"
(nervous to lose in battle) "No! No, no, no, NO!!! You! You're never getting to Atlas! Do you hear me?! NEVER!!! All forces converge on my position and eliminate these pests at once!"

(happily speaking with the lead characters) "Oh, it's stuffy up there. Down here, I get to help the locals and have a little fun. I'm currently working on shoes that make you dance. Wanna try 'em on?"
(explaining reasons behind creating his daughter) "There's a reason why Penny is the only one of her kind. When the General first challenged us to find the next breakthrough in defense technology, most of my colleagues pursued more obvious choices. I was one of the few who believed in looking inward for inspiration."
(breaking down; speaking to his daughter) "I lost you before. Are you asking me to go through that again? No. No. I want the chance to watch you live your life."
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Joanna Greenleaf is one of the Happy Huntresses dedicated to protecting the people of Mantle. Joanna herself is very up-front and confrontational.

(worried) "The largest Grimm horde ever seen is hovering over the tundra, and out there is a city full of people with no heat, and from what you told us, no military protection. And while we're happy to give you guys a place to lay low for a while...it's time to get those people some help."
(speaking on the news) "Citizens of Mantle, General Ironwood has abandoned you, but we have not! If you can hear this, gather any food and supplies you need to stay warm, then head to the Mantle crater. The Grimm are starting to make their way back into the city, but we can hold the line if we all come together. If we don't, well...you've all seen what's waiting for us out in the storm. It's time to show your teeth, Mantle."
(giving an ultimatum) "Either you're helping, or you're baggage."
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Ambrosius is the being that resides inside of the Staff of Creation. He is described by Ozpin as being "a character". He's incredibly flamboyant and boisterous.

(flamboyant) "Ah! It seems someone has come to engage my creative wiles! All I'll say is, it had better be worth it after my last project, A floating city? How pedestrian."
(laughs; working on his creation) "I suppose I could do a little, oh, add a touch of, but if I do that, how much of the old Penny would be my work and how much would be her? Just coming up to the surface."
(thrilled) "This is all very exciting and very dangerous! I don't know what the results are going to be."
We are looking for editors who are able to smoothly match lip-syncing and audio clips together, as well as being able to make proper comedic transitions between scenes. Be able to comfortably communicate with the rest of the team in terms of direction, creative ideas, etc. We are not rushing to have episodes released, so it is beyond encouraged that you absolutely take your time with creating the best product possible.
