A Distorted Future (REBOOT)
Project Overview
Synopsis:
This story takes place on a long-forgotten planet named Neptar.
We look back to the past and relive the life of Mistery; a boy who never feels like he belongs. Born into royalty, he believes he needs to prove himself to those around him. However, in reality, the world's view of him greatly exceeds his expectations. His fellow peers around him hold his skill in such high regard to the point where even he feels overwhelmed.

New Roles
Hello everyone! I just wanted to announce that I have posted 7 new roles for characters appearing in chapters 4-9. So if you didn't get cast last time and are still interested feel free to give them a shot!
I am posting this role for the Prologue.
This will be a fairly minor role to start off with however Neuro will eventually play a major role in the story. So be warned this will be a long term role
Neuros voice should sound quite deep and menacing. He should have a strange monster effect and his voice should sound almost distorted.
You may add the effects yourself, however, I can and will add effects to each audition if they don't have any.
"I find your lack of fear amusing,"
"There will come a time when I paint the ground with your blood and rid this world of your blight,"
"You're the type of person I hate the most; someone who blindly follows orders. All you are is but a lapdog,"
I am posting this role for the Prologue.
This will essentially be a one-off role it's fairly minor but plays a major part in this story. However, I may require this role in the very distant future.
Her voice should be of a young woman, determined to complete her goal. She should have a calm aura about her, focused and mature.
"What should I be afraid of? All I see is a lost soul who strayed too far from his path,"
"You see yourself a god?"
"What a demented outlook,""Unlike you, I have people I care about, people who depend on me. I won't sit back and watch you slaughter them all!"
I'm looking for someone to create maybe a few scenes per chapter, typically around 1-2.
This artist's role will be to create the big pieces for each chapter for when just having characters converse isn't enough. These pieces will typically be scenes with more than one character present. These scenes will typically be fight scenes and intimate interactions between characters.
If you like doing a few large art pieces I'd recommend this role
All three artist roles are different so please feel free to contact me for more info on this role.
Say something you think would fit
I'm looking for someone to create drawings of various characters each with a range of emotions.
This will work in a similar style to that of a visual novel. Still images of characters will be placed over a background with their expressions changing based on each character dialogue.
While I do have reference images for the 5 main characters. this artist must be able to draw characters with little to no reference at times. However, I will be able to provide a plethora of other info.
If you like doing a lot of smaller art pieces I'd recommend this role
All three artist roles are different so please feel free to contact me for more info on this role.
Say something you think would fit
I'm looking for someone to create drawings of various backgrounds where characters can be overlayed. This will be in a similar style to that of a visual novel where a still background is used for different scenes. These backgrounds don't have to be extremely complex or specific, most of the time I'll just say stuff like "draw a forest, or draw a small room"
If you excel at drawing backgrounds I'd recommend this role
All three artist roles are different so please feel free to contact me for more info on this role.

Age: 17
Prince Mistery is the main character of this whole story. Since the majority of the story is told through his perspective, this role will be responsible for twice the amount of work, both his conversation lines and the narration lines. So as a quick disclaimer, this role has a very large part throughout the story, expect a lot of lines.
Voice: For this character, I'm looking for someone with a fairly dull voice, a medium pitch. Mistery also has a sigh in his voice every time he speaks.
Personality: Mistery is somewhat of a lazy person, you can see that though appearance alone and some of his dialogue might reflect that. However, deep inside he's quite a devoted person, he loves to help people, even if he thinks it takes too much effort. However, he has incredibly low self-esteem but hides it by acting quite pridefu1l and making a lot of jokes.
(in an annoyed/tired tone of voice)
"Do I have to?" *sigh* “Fine…”
(Almost like a whisper, as if he's mourning)
"No matter what I say to anyone, my grandfather’s ‘greatness’ always comes first and people just can’t seem to see past that."
