Welcome to the Casting Call for the Unofficial Owlboy Fandub!
Episode 1 has been officially released! Check it out here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBAg9w3BDb0
Geddy is Otus' best friend, and Vellie's defense mechanic. Generally happy-go-lucky and optimistic, Geddy is easily excitable, yet easily frightened, but fiercely loyal to his friends.
Hey man! Keeping watch today? Maybe you want to do something later? Otus
and Geddy, the unstoppable team!
Well,
you DO seem more friendly than the other pirates. And
I have a feeling that other guy would have attacked us earlier if it
weren’t for you. What
do you think, Otus?
AGAIN!?
You cowards! You absolute COWARDS! Raaargh!
Initially a member of the robotic Sky Pirates, Alphonse is more noble and gallant than the typical pirate, which leads him to defect to Otus' side early on. Alphonse is cool-headed in the face of danger, always keeping his wits about him, and he never acts on impulse. Despite being a powerful fighter, Alphonse has sophisticated tastes, and enjoys theater and poetry.
A real crew of pirates would never abandon each other. I would find deeper pride sailing the winds alone... than with an unprincipled band of thugs.
Well... I've always wanted to be a dramatic actor. I wanted to awe the world's finest from a stage! Under Molstrom, I wasn't allowed to...
Hmmm, that spider person... He does not seem particularly malicious. If I were to guess, I'd say he does not know what trouble he is in.
Twig is a hyperactive, troublemaking spider who is initially in league with the pirates, terrorizing Otus and his friends through much of the game. However, the pirates eventually abandon him when they decide he isn't needed anymore. Then, with nowhere else to go, decides to join up with Otus' crew. On the surface he's wacky, mischievous, and carefree, though underneath he's actually quite insecure, revealing that he only worked with the pirates because he just wanted some friends to hang out with.
What crawled up green guy's butt?! He seems real mad for some reason!
I'm... sorry... I- I didn't realize what the pirates were up to... I just wanted someone to hang out with.
An hour from now, I'll be able to tell everyone that Twig, the world's greatest spider, defeated Captain Molstrom, the scourge of the skies!
Asio is an Owl instructor who takes Otus under his wing and intends to become his mentor. However, due to Otus' perceived failures at the tasks Asio gives him, Asio quickly loses trust in the mute owl, and often ends up berating and humiliating him. In the later sections of the game, he ultimately swallows his pride and admits his mistakes to Otus, apologizing for the Owls' arrogance.
No need to look so nervous! This is a great moment for you! Despite being born a mute, under my tutelage you will become one of the pillars of our community!
Your actions are inexcusable, Otus. You bring shame to owls everywhere! And most of all, you bring shame upon me.
I am... so... sorry... for everything. Despite everything, you have been a remarkable student, Otus. Courage is a trait lost on most owls.
Strix is another Owl tutor, and something of a rival of Asio's. He tutors three owl students, Solus, Fib, and Bonacci. Not much is shown of his methods of tutoring his students, but he does seem at least somewhat less arrogant and derisive as Asio.
Asio, we don't have time for this. As a fellow owl, you should know better.
My students and I plan to carry supplies to the turret gunners and do repairs. It will be dangerous, but it's the least we can do.
This is it!? This village's supplies won't even last a week. Preposterous! Asio has done a lackluster job here, at best.
A very shy and timid Owl, Solus is one of the students studying under Strix. Anxious and with a bit of a stutter, Solus is slow to trust and tends to be a loner. He often finds himself being picked on by Bonacci and Fib, Strix's other students. He is on good terms with Geddy and Otus, even if he can't bring himself to trust them entirely.
H-Hey... I'm sure you don't want to talk right now, but... I want you to know that I believe you. You don't seem like the type to lie, Otus.
T-This... This is too much! I can't believe it, Otus! Everything has gone wrong! I can't stay here in Vellie.
I-I trust you, Otus, but I can't involve anyone else in this... I'm sorry, b-but I don't have time to explain. Please leave.
Fib: Are you sure you should be allowed to keep watch? Doesn't everyone think you're an idiot? I mean, are you even a real owl?
Bonacci: Man, you're such a scaredy-cat, Otus! Owls should be tough and fearless!
Fib: What's up, Solus? Going to patrol for pirates today?Bonacci: Or are you going to run away if you see anything?
The fearsome, megalomaniacal captain of the robotic Sky Pirates, Molstrom is a machine built for battle. Bloodthirsty and relentless, his only goal is destruction. He seeks three ancient Owl relics, which, if obtained, would give him the capability to wipe out all life on the planet.
FOOLS! Come to see your capital burn? Well, take a good look.
...You're here to fight me? Hahahaha! Very well. Hopefully
you can at least entertain me until the relics are finished charging.
YOU! HE SENT YOU HERE TO DISTRACT ME! I'M GOING TO DESTROY ALL THREE OF YOU!
A particularly bloodthirsty and vicious pirate, Dirk is Captain Molstrom's right-hand man. He is instrumental in Molstrom's quest to hunt down the ancient Owl relics. He initially worked together with Alphonse, and was infuriated by Alphonse's decision to betray the pirates, and vowed to hunt him down and destroy him. He was also primarily responsible for manipulating Twig into working with the pirates, and was the one that abandoned Twig when he felt the spider was no longer needed for the pirates' plans.
WHY YOU...! You'll pay for your treacherous words! I'll skewer you right where you stand!
Who cares? Just alert me the second they get through the door! I don't have time for any more distractions!
FRIENDS!? Why would you ever feel the need to seek such frailties? Pathetic... Powerless... Only weaklings who can't fend for themselves will seek friendship.
An old scientist and teacher living in the town of Vellie, the Professor aids in defending against the pirate raid on Vellie, as well as the attack on Advent. By the time of the attack on Advent, he blames Otus for his perceived failures, much like Asio, even though the problems were outside of Otus' control. He does eventually aid Otus once he and his friends are finally able to prove they aren't making any of their story up.
Asio, we have no time for this bickering. Geddy!
Get this machine working so we can get a visual of the pirates.
...This timing... Have the pirates noticed it too? That the islands are......No, surely not.
The
wind machinery was never active!? Don’t
be ridiculous. We’re all familiar with you and Otus’s slackery!
Kernelle is the Professor's assistant, and a biology teacher at a school in Advent. She is more reasonable towards Otus early on than either Asio or the Professor, and is willing to give him a second chance. She's generally mild-mannered, but loves making rockets and bombs for fun. When dealing with rocketry or explosives, she becomes crazed with excitement.
Don’t
look so down, laddie. If you made a mistake you’ll make it right in
time. Take
Asio and the Professor, for instance. They’ve
made plenty of mistakes.
Where
are my manners? My
name is Kernelle. I research biology and teach the children at this
school.
...And
I make rockets and bombs for fun.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! IT
IS TIME! PREPARE YOURSELVES! ALL
SYSTEMS ARE READY! ...DETACH! IGNITION! LIFTOFF!!!
Buccanary is the owner of the Legendary Adventure Emporium, along with several dopey Boguin assistants. Though she has a bright and cheery demeanor, it becomes apparent that she has something of a sadistic streak, as the Boguins indicate that she doesn't tend to treat them very well...
Welcome! Let's tally up that booty! So far, you've collected 500 Buccanary coins. Excellent! And now, for your surprise!
Now! Boguin! Back to your shack!
Flapping? Why is there flapping in my shop? G-G!!! G-GAWK!!!......Is- is it gone? I think I need a vacation… And a stricter pet policy.
The Boguins are a dopey race of penguin-like creatures that serve as Buccanary's assistants. They're not too bright and rather cowardly, but when not threatened, they're fun-loving and silly. It's implied that Buccanary does not treat them very well...
Hi,
how are you doing today? I’m not allowed to talk to people, hehe!
You’re…
you’re not gonna hurt me? Wow,
that’s nice of you! I’m
one of Buccanary’s punching bag- um! One
of Buccanary’s helpers!
Woah! You
totally saved me! Thanks, buds! I
thought those beasts were gonna stomp me! And
kick me! And
chew on my eyeballs! But
they didn’t! Thanks
to you, guy!
A young soldier in Advent's defense force, and Bonanza's partner. She is injured in the attack on Advent, and separated from Bonanza. With Otus' help, she finds Bonanza, and together, the two help Otus and his friends break into the pirate base.
Hoi. You ready, Bonanza?Alright! Here we go!
Hey there, Otus! I’m
glad to see you made it out of Advent! We
barely made it... And
our squad leader didn’t make it out.
I
guess it’s time to try to turn a new leaf and plan ahead. Can’t
grieve forever.
An elderly Advent trooper, Bonanza is an explosives expert, and surprisingly spry and athletic for her age. She works together with Anne to help Otus and his friends break into the pirate base.
Move aside, children. Bonanza will take care of this. HIIIIYA!
Aye,
be careful out there, younglings. Watch out for them sinister tin-cans now!
You’re looking for someone? Let me give you some advice…Just jump around absolutely everywhere, super fast. Then you’ll find them eventually.
Currently Toby and Mandolyn have been cast, however Bomboman is still open! We have a temporary solution in place, but given that it's pitch-shifting my own voice I'm not terribly satisfied with it and hopefully I'd like to find someone more fitting.
Bomboman: Also,
there be troublemaker around village. Is not you, is it? Somebody
is stealing my bongos! Don’t be slacking off now!
Toby: You
owls sure are hard-workin’! Strix’s
students are scurrying about keeping watch, all the way from Advent... And
here you are too! I
prefer to relax in my hot spring! Heheheh!
Mandolyn: I’ve
finished a wonderful new song in the past few days. I think I might go out of town to perform in front of a big audience!
