Megaman Zero: The Series Fandub! [Closed, Confirming Cast]

[MadManX429]

MEGAMAN ZERO: THE FANDUB

Hello, and welcome to my first serious fandub! Before you laugh at "OMG MEGA MAN IZ A KIDS GAEM, AND IT HAZ NO BAKSTRY!!", I've noticed a lot lately that most of the fans would love to once have a Megaman anime without treated as a kids series. And what way better to do it than with the most serious, in-depth series of them all? There will be parts for people to catch up to the main series, and the backstory behind it.

Note: Sprite animators are welcome, to add new cutscenes to flesh out the backstory, contact me for details. For graphic artists, send your work to this thread: http://madmanx429.deviantart.com/journal/

PLOT: Over a century after Sigma's defeat in the Mega Man X series, a new government called Neo Arcadia was formed to maintain peace. The leaders of Neo Arcadia began hunting down Reploids unjustly labeling them as Mavericks. Now the only hope for the Reploid is a legendary Reploid named Zero. Feeling that the Reploids were being wrongly accused, Ciel flees from Neo Arcadia and creates a Resistance against Neo Arcadia, and tries to rediscover the ancient hero's remains...

MAIN CHARACTERS


Zero, the legendary reploid*
-Bio: The legendary machine who once fought the Maverick Wars alongside X, Zero may not look the type to be so noble as his old partner. However, beneath his cold manner lies a soul desiring to protect the innocent. He has recently been found inside an old laboratory, and being awoken by Ciel, he suffers from temporary amnesia.

VA: Koichi Saito
U/S: Ry-Guy


Ciel
-Bio: A human girl, formerly a Reploid researcher and scientist at Neo Arcadia. Though responsible for creating Copy-X after X's disappearance, she cannot help but feel that the persecution of Reploids is wrong and decides to leave Neo Arcadia. Since then she has organized the Resistance and successfully developed a new source of energy, the "Ciel System." She is the main heroine of the story, and the one to wake up Zero.

Harpuia
Bio: Sage Harpuia is a member of the Four Guardians of Neo Arcadia. He was created from X's DNA towards the end of the Maverick War with the task of cleaning the skies and atmosphere of toxic gases after the war had ended. Some time later, he became a military general of Neo Arcadia, commanding the Rekku Army, Neo Arcadia's military air force. Originally, Harpuia was a stubborn and loyal follower of X and later his duplicate Copy X. He was proud to serve such a heroic leader and fulfilled any task given to him with absolute obedience and without any hesitation. Though Harpuia for the most part serves as a major antagonist, he's not a true villain.

V/A: Haruhost
U/S: Kamuro


Leviathan
Bio: Fairy Leviathan is a member of the Four Guardians of Neo Arcadia. She was created from X's DNA towards the end of the Maverick War with the task of cleaning the seas and oceans after the war had ended. However, from what she has experienced, she knows the seas will never be clean, and jumps to any opportunity to escape her purpose. Some time later, she became a military general of Neo Arcadia, commanding the Meikai Army, Neo Arcadia's military navy force. Leviathan seems to like being playful with her opponents before slaying them, as though she enjoys toying with them.

U/S: Aizenmyouou


Phantom
Bio: Phantom was the leader of the Zan'ei Army with the title of Inshō Phantom (「隠将」ファントム, "Inshō" Fantomu?, literally "Shadow General Phantom" aka "Stealthy Commander" or "The Ebony Illusion"). Phantom's schematics were based on that of X's capabilities of stealth. He is one of the Four Guardians of Copy X and oversaw his pupils, Hanumachine, Phoenix Magnion, and Tech Kraken. Phantom's major trait is his unwavering allegiance to his master, X, displaying more loyalty than his three counterparts (none of whom were willing to sacrifice their lives in order to protect X [or in this case, Copy X]). His sacrifice may be considered admirable, despite the flawed nature of its cause.

U/S - DHAZEDXZ


Fefnir
Fighting Fefnir is the leader of the Jin'en Gundan ("Army of Ash Flames") with the title of Tōshō ("Fighter General" or "Fighting General") for Neo Arcadia. Fefnir's schematics were based on that of X's capabilities of ground combat. He is one of the Four Guardians designed to protect Master X. He was fiercely faithful to Master X and oversaw a pupil, Anubis Necromancess III. Originally designed as a worker reploid, he was designated to rebuild destroyed cities from the Maverick Wars by melting leftover materials for recycling. However, seeing his own creations get taken down too frequently, Fefnir has become obsessed with demolition, rather than architecture.

VA: Self-casted


Copy X
Bio: Copy X (コピーエックス, Copy X?) is a character from the Mega Man Zero series. He is a clone of X created by the scientist Ciel, and is the main antagonist. Supposedly as a Perfect Copy of X, one would expect that his personality is a mirror image of X. However he has many major differences. He, in a way, is a perfectionist with a mixed up sense of justice due to the fact that he continues to insist that he is a Perfect Copy of X, as well as insisting that what Neo Arcadia is doing is justice.

V/A: Ryusuke
U/S: Kamuro


X (Cyber-Elf form)*
Bio: One of the original heroes of the Maverick Wars, X has served humans dilligently since Zero has submitted himself for the Sigma Antibody Program 100 years ago. Having to lead the people during the time has made him weary, and his body has disappeared from Neo Arcadia. However, his soul, in the form of a cyber elf, still lives, and he's still as kind-hearted as ever.

VA: Kei
U/S: Haven't decided

Resistance Members


Cerveau
Bio: Cerveau (セルヴォ, Seruvo?) is the engineer who makes Zero's weapons; he also mentions that he works alongside Ciel in her research. His name is French for brain, though it could also be a pun on the word "Servo", given his aptitude for machinery.

V/A: Vahn
U/S: ShadeVortex


Alouette*
Bio: Alouette (アルエット, Aruetto?) is a child Reploid that treasures a doll Ciel gave her. She also looks up to, and admires, Ciel, with aspirations to follow in Ciel's footsteps as a researcher.

VA: Hika Yagami

Hibou
Bio: Hibou (イプー, Ibū?) is a fat and hungry Reploid that eats a lot of E-Crystals. In Mega Man Zero he is lazy and stands in the way to a Cyber-elf, and will only exit if Zero gives E-Crystals to him. Strangely enough, his sprites in the original game is the generic Resistance sprite, but was changed in his later appearances. His name is French for "Owl".

Extras



The pantheon
Bio: A cold, ruthless army, made from the DNA of the Original X. Even though they may not be as strong as the original, they're still formidable.
Voice: A robotic delay, but not monotone. They should speak like Storm Troopers over a radio. ALL GENDERS OPEN!

1. There they are! Remember, capture the ones you can, then kill the rest for the salvage team! GO!!

2. They seem to have split up. Delta team, take left. Gamma team, take right.

Cyber-elves
Bio: A condensed reploid's soul after their body has decomposed, they're given an extended life by granting special functions by hacking nearby reploids. However, once this power has been used, they're used as well.
Voice: Robotic delay with a possible mix of a higher pitch from effects, ALL GENDERS OPEN!

Lines:
1. *Females only, for Passy* No. I feel a strong energy inside. This must be the place.

2. Thanks for getting me free, Zero. If you ever need a helping hand, I'm useful for quickening your reflexes.

3. Oh, Zero, thanks for picking me up! Just gimme a call if you need a lift.

Resistance Soldiers
Bio: The infantry of the Resistance. Even though some of them may have no experience in combat compared to the Pantheon, they still fight for their freedom, along with all the refugee reploids.
Voice: No special effects, just a strict military personality...mixed with a little casualness.

1. Wh-what are these things!? How are we gonna fight them when our weapons don't do SQUAT!?

2. Zero, we managed to secure this location just for you. I hear that deep inside that factory is a shipload of energy.

3. Oh great, we're cornered! We have to evacuate now! This is no time to argue!


Storm Eagle*
Character: Leader of the 7th air squadron, his forte is lightning-quick dog fights and air battles. Always calm, cool and collected, he doesn't talk much and can be difficult to approach, though he is very popular with his men. When the rebellion broke out, he tried his best to stop Sigma, but was forced to bow to Sigma's immense power and now works for him. When Storm Eagle is controlling the skies with a new air destroyer, no one gets past him, through the air at least.
