X Fighters! Season 4 "Rebirth" (Visual Novel Format)
Project Overview
All information for this casting call is for the final two seasons of X Fighters!, which are in simultaneous production. All roles are for a short-term commitment until lines are complete. Flat rate (not hourly) total payments listed will be issued upon completion of the work via Paypal. Episodes may begin to be released at the earliest in late 2027. Both seasons have been in the works since 2021. Full instructions and line context will be given if cast in the form of PDF files. Non-mandatory accents are a preference but not a requirement and regionally or linguistically adjacent accents will be equally considered.
Story Disclaimer: Although X Fighters! is a series that had its humble beginnings rooted in story elements from the LEGO Ninjago series back in 2012, it is a piece of fiction that has drifted farther from its starting point over time, introducing more original themes and characters over the years. The full story of X Fighters! is an original one, barring its initial inspirations. Its first three seasons were in the form of stop motion animations, but the final two are in the form of a visual novel. All components of the project, from the writing to the music and art, are human-made by a team of talented artists. No AI was, is nor will be used at any point in making this project.
X Fighters!' Story, From the StartAbout a century ago, a certain monk became one with the world's mysterious flow of energy, creating the Great Pillar of Light and rising to the status of God himself. With other Gods on the horizon and more groups wishing to seize the power for themselves since, X Fighters was created. Annihilating evil, wherever it may lurk. That, was the organization's duty. On Earth, Team Shinobi begins its training in the place where it all started, the Forbidden Island, dealing with the fallout of the monk's actions and the various enemies that were born as a result...
The Story of Season 4 "Rebirth"Roughly two months have passed since Garmadon's plans, heavily influenced by the Overlord, were thwarted by Team Shinobi. Against Wu's advice, he is freed and made to join them. Team X, wary of the new threat, must still focus on their mission to uncover the mysteries behind the attack on the organization. Meanwhile, a familiar foe slips through the cracks of the Underworld, making Garmadon question everything he knows about his direct connection to the realms beneath. With signs of fate floating in the air, Wu grows increasingly anxious.
