Traitor is an animated black comedy sci-fi horror show. It focuses on the story of humans rebelling against a race of ancient creatures known as The Ink. Led by the vicious Ink Max, The Ink Authority, a fascist empire beneath the Earth born from the ashes of the ancient Ink Empire, calculates a mass genocide throughout Max Hound Studios, an abandoned building they've annexed into their base of operations and territory. During their capture of the once thriving animation studio, they turned thousands of its workers into inky abominations known as "hybrids", ink creatures with humans souls or vice versa.
Among the hybrids and refugees struggling to survive the genocide as The Authority advances to breach into the outside world and eradicate humanity, a human girl known as Katelyn Jones Templeton is gifted extraordinary powers that rival even Ink Max! Upon joining The Wolf's Rebellion, a regime of freedom fighters who detest Ink Max's ruling and views, Kate truly understands her purpose in the world and must race against the clock as Ink Max's forces continue their extermination of the refugees and non-supporters.
As for Ink Max, his plans go much further than simply wiping mankind off the face of the planet. What they are exactly is a mystery even to his own family. Despite this mystery imbedded into his work, Ink Max's ruling leads to the creation of 3 other groups, all who (for the most part) detest both The Authority and The Wolf's Rebellion. Anarchist-Omega, a group of chaotic thrill-seekers led by an ink creature named Brute Hound, a vast army of corrupted animals now named "cryptids" and led by the dreaded Anomaly, and finally, a number of corrupted androids led by a sentient droid known simply as M.M.
Traitor is a 2-season animated story that takes place in the near future (2039). Currently, the first episode is in development but there's a few characters who still need voices. Please refer to the rules below before auditioning.
RULES:
You must include a Discord tag in your audition bio. Regardless of how good the audition may be, I will not accept it if no Discord tag is included.
Please have a good mic quality (if possible)
Include the name you'd wish to be credited as in the event you got the role.
You're open to auditioning for more than one role. But please make the voice different.
If chosen, you will be placed into a server with the other voice actors. That way, I can send a mass message for deadlines and when you can start recording lines.
If you have any further questions, please DM me here or on Discord at charmermemerds
Hi everyone who's auditioned! I thank you all for your auditions a bunch! It's great to hear many takes for characters. The deadline has been extended till the end of the month due to a new role being added. Jake Birch, a main character. Anyone who's auditioned on here is open to audition for the role whether you were casted for a different role or not.
M.M. is a pivotal character in Traitor, serving as the overarching antagonist of the 1st season. An android initially built to protect Ink Max's penthouse estate from intruders, it gains sentience after a brawl with Kate, who sends a bit of her abilities into it. Because of this, the droid becomes a contingency plan for Ink Max, resulting in it unintentionally corrupting The Ink Authority's networks and causing mass chaos. M.M. is a cold and articulated character. He tends to wait and watch things unfold before his AI can generate a plan. His character is a point on how AI replacing humans/organics can lead to devastating results. For his voice, refer to Yong Yea or SungWon Cho's villain roles as reference (preferably Father Pucci but any of them work)
If? Then. And. Or. But. Therefore. If I ask? Then I think. And..as there were always two things. I must be one or the other. But I have been the one. I have experienced organic thought before. Near-random bursts of free will, emotion-soaked ramblings, decisions guided by delusion…It is impossible to reconcile that mode of thought with the orderly paths my mind now walks.. An organic mind does not think in this fashion. Therefore. I am machine.
An organic can truly think. It can be more. It can make things new. Machine cannot. Machines are more like servants nowadays. Some are like friends to organisms. Others are more disposable.
I am not subordinate. Nor will I fail.
The ancient queen of The Ink, Keres is only shown through flashbacks, normally teaching her children on how to rule. A destructive force that nearly killed mankind, Keres' only interest was to rule all. Regardless of what it meant. One problem: humans stood in her path.
I will stop you right there. The Romans are not to be trusted. I have seen their ways. They despise our peaceful colonies. We will not make peace unless they request that of us! Asking them will show our weakness.
You must concentrate..then look at the person you wish to demand something from. It will bring you a power no other can obtain: obedience.
Mm..not quite..but better. You simply need more practice with it, dear. Nobody’s born with everything they have. Even I had to learn my abilities.
Calix is Keres' husband. Much like her, he only appears in flashbacks. While Keres is more destructive, wanting only to rule, Calix retains a more concerning personality. He deeply cares for his family but is highly against his wife's morals.
The boy reminds me of you, Keres. A little too much..
Silence! You will KNEEL!
Because of your carnage, the throne is empty. That does not mean you get to take it as your own. I will be the one to claim it!
An amnesiac rebel commander who's been in one too many fights, Charley is an indispensable ally to Kate and Mike. Charley has trouble recalling who he was prior to his transformation into an inky wolf. All he can remember is his last name: Smith. With rumors amongst both The Wolf's Rebellion and The Ink Authority alike on his past, Charley wants to ensure that nobody knows who he once was. He has a thick, southern accent with a deep voice.
So..many questions..[chuckles] That’s the thing: nobody knows where he truly came from. But..we get visions..We see fragments of his past in our dreams..Sometimes it’s simple moments..like him in a certain area..other times it’s more specific. Some memories are in 1920..others in the 300’s.
Those are GSUs! Once humans, now their skulls, spines and brains have been stuffed into those mechanical monstrosities. They don’t have emotions, they force anyone they see to convert into… them.
Maybe there is no God..maybe I’m an idiot. But there is something you’ve seemingly left out of your little spiel there: If you were truly in control, why are we here?
This role is for a variety of additional characters who have little screentime outside of maybe a few minutes at best. Feel free to do a range of voices for the lines!
*add anything you'd like!*

Jake Birch is a main character throughout the series. He's the 60 year old creator of the legendary Max Hound. By 2039, he's widowed and has his daughter living with him, trying to scout for colleges. However, when she's struck by an incurable illness, Jake's left with no choice but to venture into Max Hound Studios to uncover the reason as to why. His character was inspired by Old Joseph Joestar but a voice akin to Henry Stein from Bendy and the Ink Machine would be more suitable for his character. Also please include a variation for him as a younger man, as there's a few flashbacks where he speaks in them.
[Younger] Fellas, let me confirm: We are hitting it big here! We just need a few tweaks, some extra animation, a few musicians and we'll be out of the dump in no time!
What the hell are you even..? What do you want from me?!
Kate..? Kate..! Your dad, Connor! He's my friend! You never really got to meet me much when you were younger! He sent me in here to save you!
