UNEXAMPLED (MMD fantasy animated series)

Project Overview


What is Unexampled?


Unexampled is an ambitious animation series made entirely with MMD. Our goal is to use the simplistic animation style to tell a fun, compelling and emotional story, while still creating stunning visuals. It’s a mash-up of genres, from fantasy, action and adventure to drama, thriller and even a little horror, with snarky dialogue, nail-biting suspense and epic action scenes!


However, the real stars of Unexampled are the characters. Each one of them is unique, with a large set of strengths and weaknesses, virtues and flaws. Each relationship formed over the course of the series is unique too, as the characters influence and change one another.


The first episode has already been uploaded onto YouTube, but it’s not an accurate depiction of what the rest of the series will be, except in terms of animation style. We made some radical changes to plot, characters and writing since then, and a (truly amazing) composer has also joined the project, so the following episodes will be much better.


Where is it set?


It’s set in a magical medieval world where the classic fantasy creatures like elves and orcs are all but extinct, decimated by past wars as well as humans. Now, the dominant supernatural species are abnormals, human-like beings with magical powers, and demons, who transform into mindless monsters should they ever lose control over their emotions.


The lands are mostly rural, the population spread out over countless villages. There’s only one city known to the locals, simply called “the city” because there’s nothing else to compete with the name. That city is controlled by the royals, who are incredibly hateful towards anything supernatural and have set up a tight security around the city to make sure only mundane humans make it in. They’ve also been doing their best to exterminate what remains of elves, orcs, abnormals and demons for good. Any supernatural beings left are on the run, alone or in small groups, hunted by humans.


The tavern where the main plot kicks off is one of the few safe havens for abnormals and demons left.


What is the plot?


After being poisoned, lone abnormal Zero runs into the sisters Sora and Katie. He soon learns that his only hope of survival lies beyond the reach of his slowly deteriorating body. To save his life, the sisters decide to accompany him on the dangerous journey. They soon team up with abnormal hunter Kimi, and everything goes to hell from then on. Stalked by dangerous enemies and weakened by infighting among each other, the group faces challenges beyond their imagination, before discovering a conspiracy that threatens everyone they love. None will finish the journey unchanged. If they finish it at all…


Meanwhile, in the city, aspiring royal Narrako desperately tries to live up to his legacy. Convinced that a demon slipped by the supposedly impenetrable defenses, he starts investigating despite strict orders not to. He’s determined to prove himself to his father… and to protect his city from the threat of the monstrous abnormals and demons.


How long will the project last?


It’s hard to tell. Season 1 should be completed in more than year. About one year if we get enough animators together. But we’re planning to have 3 or 4 seasons, which will take quite some time themselves. The voice actors for this season however will only be needed in the beginning, at least until season 2 rolls around: You’ll receive the scripts for all the episodes at once, so you can work through them at your own pace and send in the lines once you’re finished. Once you finish the script, your work is done for this season.


Is there any payment?


No. This is a pure passion project, everyone involved is doing it solely for fun and out of passion for filmmaking, writing, animating, voice acting and composing.


Whom are we looking for?


Voice actors, animators with experience in MMD, sound designers

Zero
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Gimron

He’s been alone most of his life, surrounded by humans who loathed him. Allowing himself to care for others has never ended well. Over the years, he’s convinced himself that he’s happy like this, but once he - much to his chagrin - starts growing closer to the others, he becomes increasingly conflicted between what he wants and what he believes is best for himself and everyone around him.

He’s incredibly snarky, and lacks basic social skills because of his limited experiences with other people. He often comes across as a jerk - often without himself noticing it - and tends to push other people away. But in a life-and-death situation, he’ll always put other people’s lives ahead of his own.

Over the course of the series, he warms to others, and his attitude becomes much less hostile, if still snarky. He does have some quiet, soft moments, though.

His voice is deep, bad boyish. inspired by Dean from Supernatural or Dante from Devil May Cry.

  • I don’t need a babysitter, thank you very much! I can handle myself.

  • *sarcastically* I think what you should be asking yourself is, what am I doing saving your life? Now that’s a question for the books…

  • *softly* Look, I... I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable back there. I guess I haven't exactly been the nicest person to you.

Kimi

Unpaid
Role assigned to: rosewick

She unites the best and the worst of the main cast in her personality. Her most striking feature is her extreme sexism. She immediately butts heads with Zero and dislikes him for the sole fact of him being male, never missing an opportunity to remind him of that and thus making herself quite an unpleasant company at times. However, at the same time, she’s incredibly sweet and caring towards Sora, getting severe PTSD when she accidentally gets her into trouble.

She’s also a brave fighter, and despite her open dislike towards Zero, is willing to risk her life for him nonetheless. In fact, with the exception of Sora, she’s the most ethical of the group. While being willing to kill in self-defense, like the others, she values the lives of her enemies way more than they do, and will usually seek a non-lethal solution.

So she’s a character with deep flaws but also great virtues to match. Once she starts overcoming her prejudice, she also becomes increasingly likeable.

She speaks sarcastically with a tone of serious attitude. 

  • *sarcastically* Thank God you still have your sense of humor. Never mind me bleeding out here.

  • Sora… look at me. Just look at me. Forget the monster. Forget everything. Focus on me.

  • *bitter* Every man I ever encountered was just after my body. The moment I smiled at them, they stopped caring about who I was and just wanted to get me into bed. And here you are, telling me they’re not all the same? Give me a break.

Narrako

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Carter23

 In most other works, he would be the villain: He’s a member of the royals and hates supernatural beings with a passion. How couldn’t he? All his life, he’s been told stories about their monstrosities. Some true (abnormals and demons aren’t necessarily good, after all), most of them made-up. However, here he is a protagonist in his own right, with relatable motivations. He’s a bit reminiscent of Zuko from Avatar: Desperate for his father’s approval, but looked down upon by him. Whatever he does, it’s never enough. Once reports of supposed demon attacks reach his ears, he finally sees his chance. Driven by both the concerns over the civilians and his personal quest for approval, he starts to investigate against his father’s orders, helped by his best friend Idle.

He’s light-hearted and funny in good times, but in this season, we only ever see him in a dark, tense mood. Despite everything, he stays kind and polite to the others, not wanting to let his anger out on the wrong person. Whenever he slips and ends up doing it anyway, he immediately calms himself down and apologizes. He doesn’t want prestige, he only really wants to be respected by his father.

His biggest flaw is his prejudice against supernatural beings and those who associate themselves with them. He’s usually a heroic character, but when dealing with that kind of people, he becomes a whole different person.

He sounds childish, letting his emotions control him.

  • What new things could we possibly need to know about these abominations?! We should be ridding the world of them, not observing them! And quite frankly, any human that would associate themselves with them should die like the traitors they are!

  • Idle, listen. My father may be an admirable man, but he has flaws he will never admit to anyone, not even himself. He believes our city defenses couldn't possibly have been breached, therefore, the killer can't be a demon, period.

  • *angrily* You better have results, or else… *sighs deeply, tries to calm himself down* I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have shouted. I’m… under a lot of stress right now.

Rikaiu
open
Unpaid

A villainous femme fatale, Rikaiu appears not to care about anyone but herself. Those around her are mere pawns to achieve her goal of collecting the mysterious sacred gems. She pretends to care for them just as much as she has to to keep them in line, and is cold and indifferent whenever she knows she can get away with it. She’s a master manipulator, using every tool she can (including, occasionally, seduction) to get what she wants.

However, later seasons will reveal that even to this seemingly flat, villainous character, there’s more than meets the eyes. She’s still evil, though.

Her voice would be very mature and high class.

  • Shut it, Hisia! Now, Kan, dear, do you know where your playmate is?

  • *amused* My my! You're such a pretty girl. Now what might you be doing in these parts of the east? Haven't you heard of the demons lurking around this area?

  • How many times do I have to apologize? *her voice gets slightly seductive* Is there any way I can… make up for it?

Idle
open
Unpaid

Mild-mannered, quiet and level-headed, Idle is Narrako’s best friend and supports him whenever he can. He serves as a counterpoint to Narrako’s impulsiveness, and stays largely passive over the course of the season.

His voice is young, taking an almost "matter of fact" tone

  • Those rumors that were openly dismissed by your father. You would do well not to oppose him.

  • Hey, watch the way you talk to your commander, soldier!

  • You know that you'll get in serious trouble if he finds out, right? You may be degraded, or even kicked out of the army for good.

Chiara

Chiara is the head of a brothel in the city. Once Narrako’s investigations lead them there, she becomes one of the main suspects of being a serial killer - and a demon. If she wants to clear her name, she has to catch the true killer…

As it befits a prostitute, her voice is mature and often seductive. However, she’s far more than just her profession, and soon reveals a bright and intelligent mind.

  • *seductively* Hello dear, is there anything I can do for you?

  • *serious* I think we both know what’s actually going on. You’re not simply here so I can “help you with your investigation.” Admit it, I’m one of the suspects too.

  • *sincerely* My girls…. They would never do such a thing.. I know what we are, we’re not exactly the most trustworthy. But they aren't killers. This must be some kind of mistake.

Disgorda
open
Unpaid

The shortest way to describe her: She is evil. Like Chiara, she is a prostitute, but she’s also a demon in disguise whose hobby is to murder some of the men she sleeps with. To the outside world, she’s a simple “bad girl”-type call girl, but in the dark, she takes the “bad girl”-persona a bit too far. like the other girls she speaks seductively but her voice takes a far more innocent tone. like she doesnt know what she's doing.  

  • *seductively* First time here? You’ll need someone experienced to show you around, then. Luckily for you… I’m the most experienced around.

  • *innocently* Is there anything I can do for you? Anything at all?

  • *mock innocent and scornful* Are you so eager to get the poor, little girl killed? Hasn’t she suffered enough already?

May

Unpaid

Katie’s and Sora’s mother, she runs one of the few taverns that welcomes supernatural beings. She’s kind and loving towards Sora, if a bit overprotective.

She plays a small role in this season, but gets more important later on.

Her voice is soft, sweet, and motherly.

  • Are you okay? You’ve been so… quiet lately.

  • *angry* You’re not getting out there again. This is final!

  • *sad* Do you really have to leave? You could stay here a bit longer if you wanted to.

Voice Actor
Hisia
open
Unpaid

A flamboyant gentleman, Hisia is the husband of Rikaiu and adoptive father of Kan. However, he’s nowhere near as evil as those two: He hides a great deal of insecurity and dependence, being completely unable to properly take care of himself, which is why he convinces himself that he loves them. He’s submissive to the whims of both Rikaiu and Kan - a ten-year-old girl, mind you - as they mastered the admittedly not very difficult art of manipulating him with a few well-chosen words. When they’re off committing unspeakable evils, he stands aside and watches in horror.

Not that he’s all too morally sound himself. His years with his family have somewhat hardened him towards the suffering of others, and he never does anything but very superficial attempts to prevent the others from doing what they do.

As with May, his role in this season is quite minor, but he becomes very important later on, and receives thorough development.

His voice is snobby, well enunciated, raspy, polite. His character was heavily inspired by reaver from fable 

  • Look Kan, I think you are going to have to let this one go. We can't keep chasing after your toys.

  • Remember, the kid is watching. Don’t go too far.

  • I just... she creeps me out, okay? I know it's a horrible thing of a father to say, even if she's not ours by blood, but... sometimes, I can't even believe this is the child we raised.

Kaiba

Unpaid
Role assigned to: MichaelG

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more anti-social person than Kaiba. And this is the same series that has Zero in it. However, Kaiba is antisocial in a more mild-mannered and endearing way: He’s an alchemist who has a vast understanding of herbs and potions, but lacks the basic skills to communicate with people. His attention span is of about 5 seconds on a good day, and he quickly dismisses all memories he deems unnecessary - which means, all memories that have something to do with people. He always seems confused, like he’s trying to pay attention to 5 different things at the same time.

His speech pattern takes inspiration from Anthony Hopkin’s character from RED 2, especially from this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UNV2c-A4BU

However, Kaiba still has his fair share of quiet drama scenes.

  • *speaking quickly* You interrupted me. Why did you interrupt me? I was just about to finish my thirty-sixth potion against Andromeda fever, but if the Deciduous Canoe gets colder than 38 degrees, I have to start the whole thing from scratch! Do you care about what old Kaiba feels about doing the same thing over and over and over again?

  • Oh, right, right, I’m sorry. Come in, I’ll take a look at that.

  • *quietly* I’m sorry. I wish I could do more. Even I wear out eventually, it seems.

  • I'm not one of the royals. I won't hurt you. I’m here to help you.

  • Let's hurry up. The sooner you can walk, the sooner we can both get out of here.

  • *a little sad* You know you can leave whenever you want to.
