Click the dropdown arrow next to each role for a detailed character breakdown
Che Heart – Main Protagonist [Male]
Che Heart [pronounced: SHAY Hart] is the leader of the Wolf Pack, fighting to stop the next brewing Human vs Kimyo War after inheriting one of the Four Great Talents – Ilios – from his master Leo Thomas
Race: Kimyo [fictional]
Voice Age: Grown Adult
Language: English
Accent: Trinidadian accent (Heavy)
Voice Reference: N/A
Power: Ilios – Phoenix Flame 🔥
Performance Note: Che’s voice should be deep, masculine, slightly raspy (marked by subtle scarring from past medical issues). Not unnaturally low, but distinct and almost startling against his sweet demeanor.
In early seasons, Che is a gentle, kind, soft-spoken leader. His tone is calm and comforting, never timid, with moments of laughter and warmth. Still, there’s always an undercurrent of power – his voice should suggest someone strong and intimidating, not fragile.
The balance is key: comforting delivery with a growly edge when needed, showing both his kindness and his toughness.
Anton King – Main Character [Male]
Anton King [pronounced: AN-ton King] is a member of the Wolf Pack, and later on the 7th Head of K.O.D.E., fighting to stop the next brewing Human vs Kimyo War.
Race: Kimyo [fictional]
Power: Kong 🐒
Voice Age: Grown Adult
Language: English
Accent: Trinidadian accent (Heavy)
Voice Reference: N/A
Performance Note: Anton’s voice should be deep, chill, and relaxed, matching his quiet, comical, almost lazy demeanor. He often sounds distracted or slow, as if zoning out, but this hides his awareness and true strength.
However, in battle and especially in Kong shift, he must switch into a sharp, serious, and powerful tone; aggressive more arrogant, contrasting his usual laid-back style.
Though aloof, his voice should still carry warmth, reflecting how deeply he cares for his friends.
Tevin Matthias Charles – Main Character [Male]
Tevin Matthias Charles [pronounced: TEH-vin mah-THY-us Chahlz] is a member of the Wolf Pack and the best friend to Che Heart.
Race: Kimyo [fictional]
Power: Hide Forge 🦏
Voice Age: Grown Adult
Language: English
Accent: Trinidadian accent (Heavy)
Voice Reference: N/A
Performance Note: Tevin’s voice is deep, strong, and resonant, reflecting his role as the “tank” of the wolf pack and Che’s closest friend. He carries himself like an older brother, protective, reliable, and uplifting. More cheerful and lighthearted than Che, his tone should be upbeat, warm, and encouraging, often lifting the pack’s spirits while still projecting the strength of a fighter and the comfort of a guardian.
Louise Hemlock – Main Character [Male]:
Louise Hemlock [pronounced: Loo-WEEZ HEM-lock] is a member of the Wolf Pack, later on the head of Hemlock Family, fighting to stop the next brewing Human vs Kimyo War.

Power: Chichiyo No Hai – Ash of the Fathers ⚱️
Voice Age: Grown Adult
Language: English
Accent: Trinidadian accent (Subtle; near-standard English)
Voice Reference: Erwin Smith – Attack on Titan (with subtle Trinidadian accent)
Performance Note: Louise’s voice should be deep, wise, and fatherly, carrying the maturity and authority of a clan leader despite his youth. He is wealthy, highly educated, and used to mingling with influential figures, so his speech must sound polished, confident, and refined. His tone should feel strong and dignified, almost royal in presence but never pompous, reflecting both responsibility and genuine care for his pack.
Azam Aziz – Main Character [Male]
Azam Aziz [pronounced: Ah-ZAM Ah-ZEES] is a member of the Wolf Pack, fighting to stop the next brewing Human vs Kimyo War.
Race: Kimyo [fictional]
Power: Kirin ⚡
Voice Age: Young Adult
Language: English
Accent: Trinidadian accent (Heavy)
Voice Reference: Ekko – League of Legends (with heavy Trinidadian accent)
Performance Note: Azam’s voice should be sweet, boyish, and energetic, showing his youth as the youngest of the pack. His tone should be light, playful, and fast-paced to reflect his high speed ability, yet still carry some strength as a trained bare-knuckle fighter. Kind, smart, and the team’s “tech guy,” he looks up to his older brothers while they treat him with warmth, especially Louise.
Master Leo – Supporting Character [Male]
Master Leo Thomas [pronounced: LEE-oh TOM-ahs] is the owner of Red Ember Gym and a War Hero who fought on humanity’s side of The War over 61 years ago
Race: Kimyo [fictional]
Power: Ilios – Phoenix Flame 🔥
Voice Age: Senior (80s)
Language: English
Accent: Trinidadian accent (Subtle; near-standard English)
Voice Reference: Kratos – God of War: Ragnarök (with subtle Trinidadian accent)
Performance Note: Master Leo’s voice should very deep and raspy, carrying the weight of his 84 years, his wisdom, and his history as a veteran of world wars and humanity’s protector. Think Kratos from God of War: Ragnarök.
Master’s Leo lines are pivotal and unforgettable, as Leo is the father figure of the wolf cubs and Che’s master. His tone must feel both earthly and heavenly – commanding and grounded in life, yet resonant and divine when he later returns as an apparition.
Andrea Thomas – Main Character [Female]
Andrea Nora Thomas [An-DREE-uh NOR-ah TOM-ahs] is the granddaughter of and a member of the Top 150 Kimyo’s ranked 147 properly known as the Weapon Master
Race: Kimyo [fictional]
Power: Weapon Mastery ⚔️
Voice Age: Grown Adult
Language: English
Accent: Trinidadian accent (Subtle; near-standard English)
Voice Reference: N/A
Performance Note: Andrea’s voice should be mature, powerful, and graceful, reflecting her age, wisdom, and battle experience. She is strong and commanding yet retains her femininity and charm. Confident, attractive, and seasoned, with warmth and a “girly” spark that balances Che’s deep masculine voice, projecting both authority and allure.
Yukiko Heart – Main Character [Female]
Yukiko Heart is the younger sister of Che Heart, the current bearer of the Hisame Talent, and the current princess of the Heart Clan.
Race: Human
Power: Hisame 🧊
Voice Age: Teenager
Language: English
Accent: Trinidadian accent (Subtle; near-standard English)
Voice Reference: N/A
Performance Note: Young, bright, and full of life. Yukiko’s voice should sound like a teenager (around 14–16), natural, expressive, and slightly impulsive. She speaks quickly and with enthusiasm, often smiling through her lines. Her tone carries warmth and curiosity, with bursts of laughter or teasing energy. When in battle or showing off her Talent, her delivery becomes sharper and more focused – confident, clever, and a little reckless, like a teen who enjoys the adrenaline rush. Avoid making her sound too childish; she’s youthful but capable.

Recording Period: November 2025
Location: Remote
Compensation: $0.08 USD per word (paid monthly)
Producer's Notes: The payment rate is per word. ($0.08 USD / word) for main characters this really adds up. This is all tracked throughout the month and payment is sent monthly.
This would be a multiple month commitment as we will be producing ~150 episodes. After completing the 150 episodes, we will be producing episodes weekly until the series concludes (not in the foreseeable future). The expectation is that we would find actors to voice these characters and be with us throughout the whole process!
Additional Information: Cast members will perform in Ordeal, a WEBTOON-based adaptation recognized as one of the platform’s Top 3 action titles, offering professional credit and global exposure.
Actors will receive character materials, creative direction, and ongoing support throughout production. We foster clear communication, flexible remote workflow, and a respectful, collaborative environment.
Once episodes are officially released, cast may use their final scenes for portfolios, and standout performances may be considered for future roles in Ordeal or other StoryCo productions.
