Project Overview
KAHIMANAWARI: SIMS MACHINIMA SERIES
INTRODUCTION
"Kahimanawari" (ka·hi·ma·ná·wa·ri) is an old Tagalog word, which means "One hopes it happens that...", whether you wish for something in particular or if only it were possible to happen.
This is an animated voice-over series made with The Sims 4, consisting of short episodes only.
PLOT
The story follows Reagan, an engineering college student who always finds herself in situations with Hope University's president of the student council, Yssa, that most of their friends would never expect. Aside from what the people around them are aware of, there is much more than meets the eye.
GENRE
Romance, Comedy
Note: This is going to be a lighter, more enjoyable queer rom-com, and Asian culture will be emphasized throughout the story. Unlike the "Run" series, this one takes place entirely in a college atmosphere and is centered solely on the connection between the main protagonists.
IMPORTANT
1. Please no background noise and use a clear mic.
2. Show emotions. Even though this is basically a comedy, it does occasionally contain some heavy scenes, so you'll need to be able to do both. The dialogue must seem genuine or natural. Act as though you are speaking with your friends.
3. Don't audition if you're not comfortable with swearing and sensitive topics. I'm going for a more realistic vibe, and the voice acting must reflect that.
4. I will only message and cast voice actors after the deadline.
5. Those who will not be cast in main or supporting roles will be considered for minor or extra roles, so let me know if you are also interested.

Reagan Dale Villarias (pron. ray-gn dayl vil-lar-yas)
main
- She/Her, 20s, Engineering major student at Hope University
- Reagan is basically the popular “girl crush” at Hope University. She’s a little too laidback and has shirked a lot of responsibility throughout her life, but that charm always gets her out of trouble. She is very passive-aggressive and frequently responds to questions about her personal and romantic life in an ironic and sarcastic manner. She also shows a propensity for making snap judgments and acting hastily.
- Relationships: Yve Villarias (cousin)
- english
- female young adult
(nervous, with soft chuckles in between) "W-what? I didn't even talk her into going to Gin's. I was surprised to see her last night, too, okay? And... uh, there’s nothing we talked about THAT interesting. "
(in a bored expression, or wearied) "Have you ever thought about how it is that the world is currently experiencing so much while you happened to be at home and, just... you know, existing?"
Alyssa Ivy Hojas (pron. uh-lee-suh ai-vee o-has)
main
- She/Her, 20s, Political Sciences major and the president of SSG (Student Supreme Government) at Hope University
- Yssa is an academically focused student who participates in policies and initiatives at Hope University. She is fond of following norms, hates the idea of people wasting her time, and takes what she does seriously. She would have guys or girls crawling to her feet if she could just "learn to have more fun." However, when she is concerned about someone, she goes above and beyond to see to it that their needs are met and will adamantly defend them in front of others.
- Relationships: Alessandro Ivor Hojas (brother)
- english
- female young adult
(with much assertion on her voice) It's honestly more than that. You know what I mean? It's difficult, but she's...endearing. Someone you can never get rid of." (pauses) "Because even if I wanted to, I couldn't. She's more than the surface. She's something I can't explain."
(firm but cautious) "Do you know what I'm dealing with right now? Everyone's pestering me because apparently, you considered my "favor" as a date."
Alessandro Ivor Hojas (pron. uh-les-sàn-dro ay-vur o-has)
supporting
-
He/Him, 20s, Engineering major student at Hope University - Sandro is outgoing and friendly, in contrast to his sister, Yssa. But as her brother, he is a great support for his sister and will always be there when she needs him the most. And, as one of Reagan's closest friends, he embraces Reagan for who she is rather than criticizing her.

(thrilled) "We only live once, let's make the most out of it!"
(apologetic) "He already put everything on the line for the possibility when he first fell for you. It's not his fault that he didn't know. But... He also don't owe anything to anyone."
Yve Villarias (pron. ee-v vil-lar-yas)
supporting
-
She/They, 20s, Architecture major student at Hope University - Yve is the group's most outspoken feminist, and she speaks in a monotonous tone that nearly makes her seem bored with everything. She is quite opinionated, will engage in biting banter, will not laugh at anyone’s bad jokes, and will not hesitate to express what she thinks. Her priority is to keep her cousin, Reagan, from becoming a fucked-up young adult.

(in an exasperated tone) "One more thing, Reagan. Don't wait until you snap. You know bad things happen when you contain everything at once."
(nonchalant) "You and your oddly specific red flags." (pauses, then uttered a furious grumble) "Will you keep your mouth shut for a bit, please? I've got a fucking hangover right now."
Ulysses Natividad (pron. yoo-li-seez nah-tee-bee-dahd)
supporting
- He/Him, 20s, Engineering major and a member of SSG (Student Supreme Government) at Hope University
- Ulysses is reserved, sincere, and simply a good guy. He has always been a supportive figure in other people's lives and is content to spend the majority of his time with his friends, as though his happiness depends on them.

(teasing) "Wow... This is your first record of the semester. Congratulations on consistently annoying Pres." (pause, then laughs awkwardly) "Uh... I was joking."

"I don't understand why you come here every day. This office is off limits to students and non-officers. "
"That's not my point. I know you're overworking yourself on purpose, and you're even taking the jobs that should go to the representatives. So, what's really going on?"
