Today our team will be collectively voting on our short-list of auditions and deciding who gets what roll. If 2 or more people are cast for the same roll, that means for 1 of them will be cast as the listed character and the others we have different roles in mind not listed in the auditions.

This position handles a lot of the lore and plot crafting of the series. While we do have a lot of our series planned, we understand it's not the best it could be and your help would be incredibly valuable. You will work in lore rewriting and coming up with ideas for storylines and improving arc structure. Like the Script Writer role, you can voice any criticism or suggestion to us as well as doing script work.
You can either send us examples of our work or you can write your own short script/story in our setting, whatever feels best for you!
Say something you think would fit
To assist with script cohesion and narratives within said scripts. You shall be expected to be able to point out issues with standing scripts the lead writers make and provide suggestions for fixes with them. Communication is key and so is team work with this. If you have your own ideas, shoot them to the leads and talk about it! (You can apply for this role and the Lead Writers role, if you're good at both that's amazing!)
You can either send us examples of our work or you can write your own short script/story in our setting, whatever feels best for you!

Roob is the brooding and rude muscle of the group. At most times she seems generally grumpy or even aloof at times. She's somehow entirely full of herself but at the same time completely self loathing. As she sees it, she's a complete failure of a Ruby for not being as skilled or talented as her parents or her siblings. She spends most of her days in the town saloon, trying her best to have a grand time with her best friend lefty, the only person she feels she can be herself around, even then, usually she attempts to put on a tough face still. She at her core, is kind of childish. She has hobbies and ambitions but because she doesn't see it as something a warrior would do she puts on a constant rough demeanor to not appear weak.
Additional info:
She has a crush on a Half Gem named Nermling. She's quite shy around him and to not embarrass herself, she tends to avoid him.
Her proper name is Rubletine. A name she can't stand to hear.
She has a passion for cooking and things one could consider nerdy. This aspect she constantly tries to hide.
You took my drink! You're dead buddy!
Oh this? It's just my slugger. Made it myself. Huh? Baseball? No no, I bash people's lights out with this baby.

Dragon's Blood Jasper is one of the main antagonists of the story. She's ego driven, loud, and extremely arrogant. She always has a playful seeming ignorance to her own conduct when committing the worse of acts. She believes absolutely nothing can touch her in terms of power and she's making it everyone around hers' problem. At her core she merely desires to cause destruction and chaos in the wasteland and find fun ways of doing so. Despite her attitude, it's extremely easy to push her buttons and make her angry. Usually those entirely not believing in her own hype or goons around her committing seemingly minor offenses against her. She quickly turns from disturbingly playful to a berserker monster who's only interest is ripping you in half.
she would be gruff sounding like SU jasper but have a vastly more playful and sarcastic tone. everything to her is a massive joke and she rarely takes anything seriously
Oh? You found my sister? How troublesome. Make sure she doesn't meddle in our affairs, got it?
Laputa you are just lousy with telling your guards things. I came on in here and they jumped me! The nerve right? Anyway, hope them being little flakes on the ground isn't too much trouble right?

Juicer is the reversed and no non-sense mysterious guardian of the Arakai Region. She's quite stoic and quiet most of the time. she rarely speaks unless prompted or asking a simple question. She always comes off in passing as either overly polite or in a rush, keeping interactions brief but unnervingly civil in tone. In public she's always seen in her "Dusk Watcher" alter ego outfit as she's trying to hide her identity. She spends her days searching for a lost friend of hers named Grin. She's always on the move or just observing the wider going ons of the region of Arakai.
As with Roob, Improving lines are encouraged!
Have you Seen an Olivine around here by chance? She's a friend of Mine. I just want to make sure she's safe... Oh, you haven't? (sighs) Thank you for your time.
Challenge me? You don't look like you'd do much to me I'd wager. I'm not looking for conflict so I bid the Farewell.

The "Mule" is a mutant giant pebble who's life, at least, they believe so, is nothing but utter suffering and hardship. They always have a nihilistic outlook on every situation and see existence as nothing but a sick joke they aren't laughing about. They always speak in oddly verbose and eloquent tones, almost always mentioning some form of pain they're enduring.
They were created by their Cruel master, Red Natrolite, a gem with the ability to make pebbles by spitting on stones or boulders. Red Natrolite made the mule for the express reason for them to haul around things for them. While Natrolite could carry these things herself, she actively chose to force the mule to do this as a childish kind of torment to The Mule.
Must you create so much unnecessary noise? If you gaze upon my disheveled form, you may notice the ever present pain of my existence it enough pain already.
If I was to be so arrogant to ask my master, for what cruel and unusual reason have you created me? I know nothing but abject pain. Is this some form of demented test, or do you simply wish to see me suffer in abject agony?

Daerax is the vocalist and Drummer to an in Universe band in MG who lives in the town the rest of the cast are in. He's pretty quiet and not known to be too nice. He always has a tough and rough exterior and when he's not preforming in his band, he's picking fights with other street punks. He's a lot like Jotaro from part 3 of Jojo in tone and attitude in how he acts tough but truly cares underneath it all. The only person he shows any true care for it Garnie his girl friend.
If you can sing that's a plus but it's not required
You say something to me punk? Thing you got what it takes to take me down? Be my guest.
Oh Dimmer? This town? What a dump. I've been here all my life and the place has never gotten better. Though, if it did, it'd lose its charm.

One of Red Natrolite's servants. She's utterly insane and combat obsessed. Most of her speech is insane ramblings about eating gemstones or finding the ideal opponent. Ultimately, their goal in life is to die gloriously in battle.
Use DOW berserker as inspiration
Argh! Why are we wasting our time with such trivial matters?! Where are the enemies I was promised?!
Finally! A worthy opponent! These weaklings tried to hold me back... Hahahahahahaaa! No longer shall I be denied!
(insert improv or insane combat rambling)
Butchy is the personal body guard of Natrolite The Merciful. It is her job to keep her safe and fed to produce more Rubrum brood. She unlike her sister Blood Jasper (the shard Berserker) is a lot more self contained and reserved. Often speaking quite slowly and has adopted a strange word patterned way of speaking as if she's monologuing. She always remarks her direct feelings about a subject at the end of whatever ramblings she does.
In certain ways she is more affable and approachable than her sister. She initially seems to have an inclination of politeness and astonishingly for a Rubrum gem shows direct kindness to her fellow Rubrum gems like Natrolite or her sister (whom rarely reciprocates such consideration)
Her most disturbing trait is her overt enjoyment of cannibalizing intelligent alien races. She has a genuine skill and passion for culinary art, however, it's all tainted by her inability to see how consuming intelligent life is morally wrong. This all isn't too surprising from the Rubrum general lack of any morals to begin with.
Like her sister she has a love of combat along with her culinary passion. With both areas she's quite adept and zealous with her enjoyment of them. She loves a good fight, and the spoils of her victories usually involve using her defeated foe as a... "Component" in her next dish.
For general mannerisms, she's properly closest to Sloth from FMAB.
So, this is what the surface of Minerva looks like? How disappointing. Was expecting a more challenging environment. How bothersome.
Yes master Natrolite! I'll search for food at one. How delightful. Thank you my master for this opportunity. I have a new dish I wish to create for you. Such exciting prospect.

The motherly and caring foil to Sarendite the Cruel. The 2 serve as the heads of the Rubrum force on Minerva, each embodying an aspect of the struggle the Rubrum face regularly in their lives. Natrolite being the longing for freedom to chose your own life, Sarendite being ambition made manifest. One looking for a comfortable life, the other striving for greatness, each, in their own warped Rubrum way.
Natrolite herself is the only voice of reason in the Rubrum group. She brings out the best and minimizes the worst of each of her group and tends to any emotional or mental needs. She treats each member with a gentle and kind attitude, spending most of her time at their camp tending to minor wounds and trying to better understand them. She's soft spoken, but not meek, She speaks with authority and confidence. She at the end of the day is trying her best to keep what she considers family alive above all.
Oh Sarendite, must you be so harsh on the dear? She was already frazzled by our crash landing, give her rest.
Was your hunt successful Noreena dear? I hope it was... You look a bit scratched up. Let's fix that okay?
(try Improv lines!)
A local court member who acts as the team's manager for their jobs. She's generally sweet, courteous, but is a bit up tight and at times easily frightened. Like most pearls she's quite happy to just serve her role and she doesn't quite aspire to much else. As for her voice, a pearl impression but a bit more nervousness in the voice would fit nicely.
Greetings Olivine! Here to turn in some work? You never fail to impress dearie.
Oh warden Lady Gold! I was unaware you would be attending this meeting. Was there something you needed from us?
(Insert your improv line(s))
The ego driven and condescending C.O.M officer who's been stationed in the area. As an Officer, it's been expected of her to be able to work alone and without aid of other C.O.M soldiers. From this expectation she has been given freedom to operate as she sees fit to do so. Due to her skill and rank, she's become quite self absorbed and finds most tasks related to local matters as trivial.
As with grey pearl, pearl voice but boastful and confident.
Why must I waste my time in this dust pile of a town? Surely I have better things I could be doing Lady Gold.
Bounty hunters? You got bounty hunters to do MY job??

Working on the environmental design of the series. These concepts would be extremely helpful to the modelers of the team with creating 3D environments for our characters to interact in! We shall give any kind of description, inspiration piece, or simplified concept for you to work with here.

Creating designs for the fauna and flora of Planet Minerva. We have several examples of creatures we've previously made and can give you detailed descriptions of how animals and plants work on this world for this position. Honestly, this is just for funs though.
