Retribution - A Fallout: New Vegas Quest Mod
Project Overview
Retribution is a quest mod for the post-apocalyptic video game, Fallout: New Vegas. It adds an entirely new adventure for the player to go on in the existing game, filled with characters to meet, enemies to fight, and choices to make. If you're unfamiliar with quest mods, feel free to take a quick glance at the most famous work in the community, New Vegas Bounties.
In Retribution, over three hundred slaves stage a revolt and escape the hands of the militaristic Legion, massacring the Legion-occupied city of Bullhead before settling in the frontier region of New Vegas. The Legion refuses to let this stand, so they hire the Player Character to track down the ones responsible for the revolt and bring them to "justice". But as the player confronts more and more of those who had a hand in the revolt, they must question who the real villains are.
The mod is essentially finished, written, developed, and playtested. All that's left is for the cast to be voice acted.
Requirements:
Only hard requirement is for all applicants to be 18 years of age or older. Also, this mod features heavy profanity and deals with sensitive subject matter including war crimes, prostitution, and suicide. Not all roles will feature dialogue regarding these topics, but it is still worth mentioning.
Knowledge of Fallout: New Vegas is definitely welcomed but not required.
Feel free to apply for as many roles as you want! It is common for a single voice actor to voice multiple roles in the modding community.
For anyone unfamiliar with the Fallout New Vegas universe, here's a quick rundown of key terms to aid with your auditions:
Legion: A militaristic slaver organization in the post-apocalypse notorious for its brutality.
NCR: A militaristic organization in the post-apocalypse positioning itself as the rebuilders of America. Despite their claims of democracy, many communities shy away at their rapid expansion.
Freeside: A slum-like city in post-apocalyptic Nevada.
Caps: Post-apocalyptic currency
Chems: Post-apocalyptic drugs
Thank you for your time! Best of luck!

"If your idea of slaves are the Weathers family, strike that from your mind right now. These slaves from Bullhead are battle-hardened gladiators and guerilla fighters. They'll show no mercy, so be sure to do the same."
My instructor would always say that a man without a goal is naught but a beast. I think about those words a lot. Think about what I might be if the Legion never took me in. Probably wouldn't be anything at all."
A former chem (drug) dealer from Freeside whose found himself fallen on hard times. While noticeably rough in both his appearance and speech, no doubt due to his upbringing on the streets of Freeside, Keith's ingenuity and smarts for long term business separates him from the common thug.

"Well, like I said, they took over my old place. I'd very much like it back. And if you plan on taking them out, Freeside's gonna have room for some new dealers. Could be a very lucrative opportunity for you."
"Used to be one of the top dealers in the city. Had my own shop, set-up, and everything. Was about to run posers like Dixon out of business when, out of f*#@in' nowhere, these hobos show up. And I ain't talkin' "please just gimmie a cap, kind sir" hobos. I'm talkin' "give us all your s#*! before we s#*! on you, shithead" hobos. They roughed me up, took my shop and product, and now they're the ones makin' my caps."
An up-and-coming NCR (Military) Officer responsible for evacuating the slaves out of Bullhead.

"Heh, wow. I haven't been hit with a shitty pick-up line since the bars in basic. Bold as well to say that to a commanding officer. You're lucky I like bold. What's your name, soldier?"
"They skinned people alive, hanged them naked in the streets. Not just Legion, but other slaves too. Slaves who didn't want to fight, slaves who couldn't fight, slaves who were just unlucky to be there. So yeah, you better believe I told most of them fuck off when we reached the Mojave. Those weren't refugees. Those were bandits at best, and I led them here. I get to be called "hero" everyday for orchestrating a slaughter. Hoo-rah."
A decanus assigned to assist Sextus in the operation, he is as ambitious as he is brutal, strutting about with a sense of invincibility. Nox does not trust the player, never letting them forget that they are a profligate (outsider), and antagonizes them throughout the mod.

"Well, well, what's this? Another profligate prick to taint the ground the Legion walks on? We're too lenient with you lot, letting you waddle around our camps. If I ruled, you'd have to bring me the head of a ranger before I'd even consider an audience. You? I doubt you could bring me a bloatfly."
The former grand champion of the Bullhead arena, Icarus was famous for his charismatic showmanship. Inspiring the masses of slaves in Bullhead, Icarus orchestrated the revolt and now leads the remaining slaves.

"I...had the suspicion that this was all for naught in the back of my mind. When I saw Viscera and Crixus butcher Bullhead, and when the NCR turned us away. But I always assumed it'd work out. I had the right of cause and unmatched sword-arm. A hero never needed more in the stories. Mira warned me otherwise, but I never listened. She was right. I am a fool."

The former Centurion (Commander) of Bullhead who flipped to the NCR. Varo is a prideful, regal man who sees himself as a beacon of justice in the Mojave. This mask is tossed aside when antagonized, however, and Varo's rage and contempt will pour out in a venomous manner.

"Listen, boy. Even if you kill me, which you won't, the NCR here will definitely kill you. I know you've been brainwashed into having no regard for your own life. They did the same to me. But I assure you, you can break away just as I did."
"Scared? Scared!? You want to know how "scared" I am, you inbred tribal shit!! Meet me at the bridge just south of Freeside, free from any police or securitrons to save you. Its there I'll show you the meaning of "scared"!"

"The plan was to go to the NCR after we escaped. It was they who helped us out after all. Promised us food and shelter. What they didn't mention was that their refugee centers were already full to bursting when we got there. So, to get a spot, you had to earn it, either by paying your first month's taxes up front or with labor. And because of my bum knee, which I got fighting those Legion-fucks I'll add, I can't do labor. And because I was a slave, I didn't have any money. So they kicked me out."
The bumbling son of a Brahmin Baron (Cattle Baron), Henry has known nothing but soft and cozy living. That was until he found himself taken captive by Vipers (A gang) who wished to hold him for ransom. Luckily (or possibly unluckily) he's indirectly freed by the player.

A man in freeside claiming to be a chem addict, but in reality he's an undercover NCR operative looking for chem dealers to arrest. Quinton has little patience for undercover work and doesn't do a great job at covering up his more well-spoken speech patterns and solider-esque mannerisms.
