~Rise From The Ashes ~: Artists and Supporting VAs (ADDITIONAL ARTISTS STILL OPEN - More roles TBA)

~Rise From The Ashes ~: Artists and Supporting VAs (ADDITIONAL ARTISTS STILL OPEN - More roles TBA)

Project Overview

Hi everyone! It's great to be posting again! You might remember back in October  when Maxy and I put out our first Casting Call for the lead VAs and main staff of our visual novel game project. Well, as promised, we have come to the decision to open up casting for some of our main supporting cast within the story! As such, this audition page is specifically for VAs for these roles and also a call for additional artists to join our team to help speed things along! For those who auditioned on our last call, welcome back and we are SO excited to see you still interested to join in on our fun project! :D and if you're a newcomer, a 'super' big welcome to you! A basic summary of our project can be found below, also useful if anyone wants a refresher~

What is this Project About?

'Rise From The Ashes' is an original story series created by our amazing team of staff and VAs at 'Gray Phoenix Productions', directed by Max and myself of the sci-fi fantasy genre predominantly (with elements of many other genres - including romance, coming of age and action - coming into play too~). The setting is in America in the slightly near future and revolves heavily around the concept of abilities, with superheroes and many different creatures of fantastical origin existing amongst the 'normal' population. It is mostly told through the eyes of one such character, fourteen year old Ash, who must learn to accept his true nature, decide what path he wishes to take and overcome multiple obstacles and threats in his way - including those who would do anything to exploit the abilities of all supers for their own gain. 

A normal school morning takes a turn for the worst when he is abducted in broad daylight, only to wake up some time later in hospital with little memory of the incident and a lot of unanswered questions. On his journey to uncover the truth behind his identity and purpose, Ash will meet many people - but are they friend or foe? With uncertainty around every corner, will he succumb to the darkness, or come out stronger than the mighty phoenix, to rise from the ashes of despair? Your own choices will determine that answer- so tread carefully.

Advance Warning - This story deals with some rather sensitive topics, including mental health themes and depictions (which have been thoroughly researched for as accurate depiction as possible), violence, kidnapping, strong language, potentially triggering themes (such as abuse, that will be fore-warned) and potential character death. As a result, anyone that auditions for this project should be at least 15 years old and be comfortable with the content. The last thing we want is to make anyone feel uncomfortable. 

What Format will the Project be in?

The project is planned to be made in the format of a visual novel style game on RPG Maker MV, approximately 10-15 hours of play, including puzzles, fight scenes and at least ten possible endings influenced by player actions and choices, including the True Ending (based off of our canon universe which leads straight into the events of Arc II). Much of Arc II (Placeholder name 'Flight of the Phoenix') already exists as a scripted RP. Hopefully we would aim to make this into a visual novel too eventually, but FOR NOW to help with our inspiration, motivation and to give our VAs some fun work and practise, a separate Casting Call will be opened soon for the major characters in Arc II, so be sure to check that out too! :D

Of course, we are aware this is a lofty ambition to achieve, especially given life demands and time-scales. Therefore as backup, should it not be possible to make this project into the desired format for whatever reason, then both will instead be done in the format of an audio drama or audiobook, so you can rest assured that your talents will not be wasted. We both have a lot of passion for the universe and characters we have created and we intend to see this through to the end, no matter what format.

Currently, the plot has been 80% outlined and scripting into the first chapters in progress~ 

We also have a discord server which successful auditionees will be invited to! :D

Great! What Roles are Available Currently?

Currently, we are looking to cast a few more artists to join our team (helping to speed along things a little) and the main supporting cast of the main game. Currently this involves the main party members (as Ash will encounter different companions at different chapters) and also a new major role, added upon some serious brainstorming and revision to the previous outline!  As we get further along with the script, other roles WILL be added as appropriate. Again, there is plenty of scripted material to give you guys practise and have some fun whilst we script stuff out~ 

Okay, what's in it for me?

Sadly, I'm a poor university student with no income, so the game is planned to be free-ware and a zero budget project. If I could pay every one of you guys, I honestly would. If this is something that is important to you, then I whole-heartedly encourage you to showcase your wonderful talents elsewhere, I'm so sorry I can't provide in that sense :( However, whilst I can't pay you, I can certainly give you:

- An official recommendation on your CCC profile for other directors and users to see, upon successful casting into the project 

- A CCC profile following for the Top 3 auditions for each Role

- Individual detailed feedback for every audition to this project

- Sneak peeks and polls for you to get actively involved in the project's running 

- Experience to practise and build yourself up for other future projects 

- And most importantly...a fun, supportive and friendly team atmosphere with collaboration and a place to be free and enjoy ourselves!

Exciting! So what do I have to do to get cast?

Just send us an audition! Whether you've been in several projects already, or if this is your first time, anyone and everyone is welcome to audition for any role! There are only a few requirements to meet, both in general and for Voice Actors :D


So, what do we expect? We'd love for you to be:


- Friendly and a good team player


- Collaborative and enthusiastic to share or give feedback on ideas and improvement


- Respectful and supportive of others (any bullying or cruelty towards anyone for ANY reason is just a straight no-no)


- Organised and reliable to meet deadlines (Honestly, we're very flexible people, if you can't make a deadline for whatever reason, please just tell us!)


- Reasonable commitment (we all have our own lives that must take priority, but as you can imagine this project will be long and require you to be in for it ideally until the end). If you find you can't commit anymore, please message us in advance so we can find a suitable replacement. We'd prefer this not to be the case of course, but sometimes its inevitable and we are understanding of that - I myself may take longer than desired to finish certain elements of the script, so please be patient with each other. No one knows what goes on behind a screen after all.


- For VAs  


- One or two takes of each line is much appreciated - and don't be afraid to try something new! Innovation could just earn you the role~  Really put yourself in your character's shoes - try to be expressive and have as much fun as you can! 


- Casting will be done based on how well we think your voice fits the character you have auditioned for, as well as the quality of sound you provide. You may audition for as many characters as you like, but there will be no double casting other major roles.


- A decent quality of microphone would be much appreciated - I am absolutely NOT expecting everyone to have snowball or expensive studio quality mics, but the minimum background noise, echo and static, the better. For lead and supporting roles, a phone or laptop microphone is unlikely to give your voice the justice it deserves.


- After we have given feedback (including from the characters' own creators~) feel free to retake and submit improved lines as much as you like! Willingness to improve is a great quality to have! 


And Lastly~


The most important rule of all - HAVE FUN~! The Deadline is of course prone to change depending on the auditions we get and will change as more roles are added, but it will be open until mid July at the earliest before we consider casting for the current roles.


We wish you all the very best of luck and thank you from the bottom of our hearts! If you've taken the time to read all of this and send us an audition, thank you so much. It honestly means so much to us. We hope you may come to love these characters and their stories just as much as we do, but until then, keep being your awesome selves! Any questions can be directed to my CCC inbox! 


We look forward to seeing all of your wonderful auditions and talent~!

Topping 100 auditions and 60 followers...I still cannot believe it. Thank you to each and every one of you so so SO much for the support and love you have shown to us. We honestly couldn't have done it without you. Honestly...this was so hard.

Don't give up if you didn't get cast! Take the feedback, apply it to your next audition and just keep getting better and better :) As I said, everyone who auditioned is welcome to a voicing role in the project regardless if you still want.

  • ~Extension Grace Period - What's the plan next~?

    Hi everyone! :D It's just us posting with another little update to keep you all informed! :D As you're all aware, we are 1 week away from the deadline of our auditions - and we are absolutely blown away by the support, encouragement and kind words you have shown to us. It means so, so much and honestly, on the days I've been feeling down and doubting myself, your comments have reminded me that this is possible and that we CAN do this together and make an experience that is fun, educational and emotional :) Breaking 50 followers and 80 auditions...we never imagined we would get so many and we are so grateful to all of you amazing supportive beans x You're all super talented and wonderful - don't let anyone tell you otherwise! :D ANYWAY we have decided unanimously to allow a week's 'grace period' for an extension, so that any VAs that wanted to audition but forgot or just didn't have the time have that extra chance to submit an audition so they don't miss out, so if anyone wants an extension, we are flexible with that :) In that time, we will also start to deliberate our top picks. You guys...have not made this easy for us. You're all just too good and there are some really amazing candidates that could easily all fit the role - so much so that we've had to find a way to narrow even them down :O SO once the deadline passes, probably a day or two after, we will be posting our TOP 3 VOICE ACTORS for the roles of Krissy, Erick, Fetch, Elliot and Siberia. Those Top 3 will not only receive a commendation on their profile, but they will also enter the second and final round. Since chemistry is a very important part of our character dynamics, we'll be experimenting with that with some scripted scenes, to decide who sounds the best together for each main chemistry pairing (Elliot and Siberia, Erick and Fetch and Krissy and Ash). If you make it into the Tp 3 for any of these roles, you will be notified of the next stage in more detail once we have made those decisions! :D Hopefully that gets the excitement up a little! For the roles of Benji and Dex, we'll be casting them once the grace period has ended. After all, their creators have the final say and you've all definitely impressed them! :D Artist roles will be contacted within a few days - you've all impressed us and we'd like to take all of you on board for your amazing talent and enthusiasm~ :D Hopefully that makes things clearer for everyone involved! :D We're still in need of a background artist for our team so if you know anyone who might be up to this and is interested, then please do send them our way! :D Until then, thank you so much once again and all of you take care for now! :D Best wishes and many many MANY grateful thanks ~Gray Phoenix Productions~ xx
  • New Role Added - and many many grateful thanks! :D

    Hi guys :D We hope you're all keeping well and being your awesome selves! Just a very quick update since we have almost hit three weeks since the posting of this casting call. First off, we have a NEW ARTIST ROLE added, specifically for backgrounds in a simpler pixel style - if you are interested, or if you know of anyone that might be interested in this role and style, please get or encourage them to get in touch with us! :D Thank you so much in advance! :D Secondly - we're in shock but utter delight how much positive reception this project has received and are extremely grateful for the enthusiasm, excitement and support of each and every one of you that has sent an audition, be it kind words, submitting re-tries and just being amazingly supportive people - I did not imagine for us to hit over 50 auditions in such little time - it's people like you guys that help motivate us to do the very best we can and hopefully create an experience that is enjoyable, impacting, educational and emotional on this journey through difference and conquering your demons. You've all been incredible so far. We LOVE each and every one of your auditions and are blown away by the talent you've demonstrated. You are not giving us an easy job, that's for sure and it would be unforgivable to turn such talent away...so with that in mind, we have come to another decision. Regardless of the outcome, if you guys STILL want to be a part of this project - then EVERYONE will be offered a role. After all, we have lots of other characters in need of voices and it may be that we decide your voice is a perfect fit for one of those characters! We don't want to turn such talent and enthusiasm away, so this is a decision we have agreed on for any one who doesn't get one of these roles, but still wants to be a part of our project. Again, we are not casting anyone before the deadline, but the creators are starting to consider their top picks - they may be offered extra lines as a decider once the deadline passes if need be. Until then though, any and all auditions are welcomed :D And that's it from us for now! Thank you so much again all of you and have a lovely week! Keep smiling! :D ~ Gray Phoenix Productions ~ xx

Upon further revision and playing around with concepts and designs, we've decided to open up a new role in the art department - Background art! We've decided a simpler easier to replicate pixel style of art is much more fitting for our main game, as well as easier to replicate. If you think this would interest you, then please send us an audition!

The only requirement is to send us an example of background art in that style. Our reference is the style used in the popular online  game 'Your Turn To Die' - as demonstrated by the image shown combined with a sneak peek of a lil bit of our UI as a rough concept for how it'd look~

Anything similar to this will be gratefully accepted and this is an important role to fill, so any and all auditions will be welcomed. We'd be delighted to accept more than one if the styles are similar enough too!

We already have some amazing art talent on the team already, but we could aways use extra help in the art department! As an artist, your role on the team is vital - to bring the characters, settings and assets to life! Of course, there are a lot of different characters in this story, so the more artists we can get on board with a consistent art style, then the better and again, there are plenty of spots available on the team~ 


Note: Some of the sprites may involve signs of being wounded, bloodied or tied up, so if this discomforts you, please let us know in advance.


Artists can include additional character artists, promotional artists, assets and backgrounds. Any and all are welcome to join our team! We may cast more than one person for this role, but do expect to be notified when any decisions are made! 


If you are interested, please attach a link to any existing art you have made yourself, labelled with its category in your submission comment (if you can colour and shade as well then that is a bonus!). The art should preferably have been done within the last six months to one year (so we can get a feel of a recent art style) and be in an anime type style (similar to the 'Zero Escape 999' or Danganronpa artwork style) OR a style that closely matches the existing placeholder images shown by the characters. Most importantly, have fun with it~!

Krissy

Role assigned to: fwoofi

Summary: Krissy is a cheerful, bright and determined fifteen year old teen. They're pretty curious, adventurous and get excited by the idea of trying out new things. That being said, they do bear some notable apprehension and doubts under the surface, especially given their lack of memories before their admittance into the 'hospital', but they just take a deep breath and keep fighting on as best as they can. Krissy is a determined goal-getter and always tries to see the best in things, being pretty optimistic and fighting on. ...They like to be pretty creative and love to make art, but complex puzzles and maths are not...quite as fun for them. They can also be a bit stubborn in wanting to do things their way at times (especially for subjects they feel passionate about), but it's all to achieve the best eventual outcome. Unlike a lot of the main cast in the story, they have no powers, so can't help but feel a little intimidated and in awe of those who do have them. They first meet Ash whilst being held captive at the institute and after escaping with him and the others, they loyally stick by his side and seek to work together with the aim to put an end to the illegal and horrifying activities that go on behind the closed doors of Voss's facilities and find out what really happened to them. However, such horrors may extend even further than that...and Krissy can't help but feel a...deeper connection to Ash somehow. ...But why?

Appearance: Arc I (Lead)

Personality: Friendly, Creative, Caring, Optimistic, Bright, Cheerful, Curious, Adventurous, Energetic, Apprehensive and a little Doubtful

Voice: Androgynous and bright, mid-pitch. They should be able to sound optimistic and warm, but also pack some emotion behind the harder lines. Some of their lines will require screaming and near hysterical states. Therefore a good voice range is best if you don't mind doing this. 

Note: Krissy is non-binary and is referred to throughout the story with 'They' or 'He' pronouns, as by their preferences. Therefore their role is open to anyone to audition, but we do love diversity amongst our cast and staff and strongly encourage any non-binary VAs to give the role a shot!

  • [Gasp] …! Y-You…! I...Y-Yes! I heard you! C-Can you hear me? [Clearly relieved] Oh thank God! I was...I-I was afraid I’d just imagined it…[Relieved and grateful] Thank you so much for replying to me. I was actually starting to worry that I uh...might be losing it. Honestly, I really wasn’t expecting a reply, so it was...quite a scare, aheh. Sorry if I scared you too. Anyway...I'm Krissy. I think…[Pause] Well, that's the name engraved on my lucky bracelet, so...yeah, that's what I go by. 


    [A little awkward and embarrassed] H-Hey, don’t look at me! Numbers aren’t…exactly my strong suit. [Shaking it off to become optimistic]…But come on, we’re not going to let some stupid puzzle just mock us like that, right, Ash? Let’s put our brains together and figure out this code thingie…uh, whatever it might be. [Added on after a pause] Preferably before the guards notice we’re missing…

  • [A little sad and apprehensive] ...Same really. It’s kinda hard to sleep knowing you could be torn awake at any time. Besides I…[Quietly] I don't want to miss a moment around me. …[Sad sigh] I don't really have many crystal clear memories of anything before...that place...so all of this...it's almost like experiencing it again for the first time to me. [Slightly lamenting] If only I had my sketchbook, I could capture it all on paper...like that cute little firefly there, or the way the moonlight shines on that small lake...

    [Hushed and slightly threatening, clearly angry and with the upper hand] ...Now are you going to answer my question, you pathetic idiot? [Satisfied]....Good. Then tell me [Slightly hissed, each word enunciated] Where. Is. He? [Slight scoff] Oh, I think you know exactly who I mean...so tell me where he is right now…[Casually, with threatening undertones] or we can do things the harder way. It’s your choice. I really don’t care. [Determined] But I am getting him out of here and you can do nothing to stop me!    

  • [Gasping in pain, coughing and clearly in agony] Nygaaah!  [Panting and coughing] A-Ash…! H-Help... me! ...P-Pain...getting...w-worse…! [Lightly sobbing in confusion and terror] Nnngh....I-I can’t…! I…! I-I…! [Pained sob] H-Help...                        

    [Softly and trying to be comforting] Uhuh. If you think about it, we’re in a similar cycle too, Ashy... sort of. [Attempting to be optimistic] I mean, look how far we’ve come! Even after everything so far…and we’re going to keep on fighting! [Determined] We can do this! Every day may be a battle through the... trauma…[A little shaky and uncertain] a-and I know it’s still probably far from over yet, but …[Deep breath, speaking quite deeply] just like that phoenix, you will rise from the ashes too. You shouldn’t have to constantly live in fear like this. No one labelled 'different’ ever should! [Sincerely, building up] So...dismiss the doubters, pummel the persecutors and come out stronger and brighter than before to show your true and amazing self to the world - because you are amazing...[Emotional, soft and completely genuine] a-and you’re...you’re my amazing friend. [Softest, almost a whisper]...My hero.

Benji

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Andre

Summary: Benji Agra is one fire-cracker of a guy you can't help but love - a half Brazilian mixed young man of twenty-two years of age, who tends to slip into his native language when he gets stressed or angered. As a super, his ability may seem rather strange - breaking electronic devices. Phones, electric mains, power generators - anything in the nearby vicinity if he so wishes, although it can slip out of his control when experiencing overwhelming emotions. He's pretty kick-ass, determined and brave. He takes risks, especially for those he loves and he may come across a cool kid, with occasional snarks and a healthy dose of pride, but Benji has a soft side and is a real mama's boy (seriously NO ONE wants to mess with Mama Agra!). He also loves kids and is a proud member of the scouts. He's resourceful, stubborn and rebellious, always having to have the last say by frying a bad guy's new phone, even when tied up. Others might describe him as a bit of soft-hearted dorky dude. Rather strangely, he is very insistent that he is a super villain rather than a hero. After all, all he does is break things (even though he'd help an old lady cross the road with little hesitation).  He's high up on the list of targets for Everest, a splinter group in partnership (and occasional rivalry) with DISE, which probably can be explained by the fact his father is a higher up there. Benji is very loyal though, especially to his friends and girlfriend, Leah. He's a sparky, energetic and sassy young man who is more than willing to team up with the teens and assist in bringing the perps of such horrific illegal activities to justice.

Appearance: Arc I (Ch 4-5, 7, 12, 13)

Personality: Strong-willed, Brave, Determined, Energetic, Friendly, Good humoured, Fiery, Sassy, Cool, a lil Snarky, Prideful, Protective and Compassionate

Voice: Bright and energetic, sitting at mid-pitch. Benji should sound enthusiastic and pretty fiery with the potential to show off some snark, quips and attitude when you push his buttons. He may yell occasionally when panicked or shocked and will often curse in Portuguese under his breath. When he switches to his native tongue, he will speak in Portuguese with a light Brazilian accent. If you can manage one, we'd love to hear it!  

Disclaimer: Benji belongs to the super brilliant Sushi (one of our amazing staff on this project~) As such, she will be deciding who the final role goes to, so good luck~ Placeholder artwork also belongs to the amazing Distressed_Mess on Deviantart!

  • [Quipping and stalling] Nngh, come on, guys. Three against one? Really? That's a pretty unfair set up right there, don't you think? You're...kinda outnumbering me here? Whatever happened to a fair fight? [Snarkily with sass]  Unless... unless you dumbasses need some help with your counting? Maybe you should ask your boss for a calculator to be thrown in with your next pay cheque, or just use the calculator app on your phones...actually, that'd be kinda useless since I already fried them back there. ...Whoops.


    [Cursing in Portugese after a close shave] Merda. That was a close one. I think we finally lost them, for now.  [Trying to sound assertive]...In the meantime, we really should get some rest and recover our energy. We’re kinda lost in this forest, right now, so we need to find shelter as soon as we can. [Enthusiastically with some pride] Luckily for us, as well as being the organised supervillain that I am, I also happen to be an expert forest ranger.  That means my survival and wilderness skills are all top notch, so we’re gonna be just fine! 

  • [In disbelief and containing anger] Foda se! What kind of...sickening experiments are they performing here? And on innocent kids no less. There's a special place in Hell reserved for people that do shi [Quickly correcting himself due to minors being present] - uhh stuff - to kids. [Slightly unconfident] Honestly, these people are way bigger than we first thought. Like, they could give even Everest a run for their money. Which...probably means that we're kinda screwed already - [Quickly becoming optimistic] b-but there's no way that that's gonna stop me from trying to whoop their asses! 

  • [Friendly] Oh, you’re a nature fan too, buddy? Heh, that’s awesome! [Brightly with enthusiasm] Tell you what, once all this is over and we’ve finally kicked this Doctor Viss’s - uh, Voss’s - ass, uh butt! (Ahem) Yeah, once we’ve kicked his butt and stopped all these sickening experiments then I’ll take you on a real camping trip if you want! Just the great natural outdoors, good quality camping gear, enough s'mores to feed an army and most importantly no bad guys!


    [A little shaken]...Nngh...d-don’t worry, Dex. I’m fine. Just got a bit...startled. Anyway, we should really keep moving before they -- [Defensive] No, I was not scared! Not much, I-I mean (ahem). [Putting on a more confident exterior] Supervillains like me are never scared! [Slight Pause, before quietly admitting] ...A-Although the dark can be pretty frightening when it leads to a full blown power cut. Downside of having the ability to break any and all kinds of electronics, I guess.

Dex

Role assigned to: itsthepinoyboy

Summary: Dex is quite an unexpected type for a superhero. Light-hearted, a total softie, Cool-as-a-cucumber and a bit of a joker, he's the type that comes out with the sort of laid-back or infuriating comments that make the villains' eyebrows raise or twitch in annoyance. Still, he is true to his morals, caring, protective and will do whatever he can to avoid violence. He is pretty pacifistic, loves cute things and considers himself quite heroic, risk-taking in the name of justice. Dex is noble, loyal, dedicated and somewhat stubborn, pushing himself to keep going and going and never give up. He likes to ‘smooth talk’ his way out of trouble to stall the bad guys for as long as he can. He acts rather casual and calm, but when his life is really put in danger, Dex actually turns out to be rather vulnerable. He’s a precious bean deep down, but abandonment and betrayal hurt him a lot. He's pretty sensitive as a result. Getting caught up in heroic stuff is just another day for him and his partner Val and he'll do whatever he can to prove himself, even if at times he does doubt that he's not a hero. Like Ash and Slade, he has healing abilities of his own, although his are exceptionally well developed, able to heal himself and others within seconds to minutes. That probably explains his current position as a 'patient' within the walls of the institute, but with the other escaped patients and his close friend Benji's rescue attempt underway, that hopefully shouldn't be for much longer.

Appearance: Arc I (Ch 4-5, 7, 12, 13)

Personality: Soft, Caring, Compassionate, Selfless, Warm, Humorous, Well-mannered, Sensitive, Brave, Confident, Pacifistic, Loyal, Stubborn and Headstrong.

Voice: Bright and friendly, pitch being mid-mid high. He should sound pretty enthusiastic and optimistic, with awkward pauses now and again and the tendency to sometimes get a little too over-excited at times. He doesn't raise his voice often and whilst able to throw in definite snark at the bad guys, he isn't the type to curse or swear.  He's too heroic for that after all.

  • [Relieved] Whew! Thanks so much for the save! Just in time too, those chains were really starting to chafe - plus those idiot guards kinda stole my spare lockpicks, so aheh [Slightly awkward]...real smooth going, amirite? . [changing the subject brightly]...But anyway!  I'm Dex - a superhero! What about you, lil buddy? [Questioning] You look...kinda young to be here.


    [In agreement] Yeeeah, we'd better get out of here before that creepy doc comes back. That guy gives me a serious case of the heebie jeebies. [Quite casually and comically] He could really use a hobby, something relaxing like...flower arranging or yoga or something that's not...you know, freaky experiments and procedures and stuff. I'd kinda prefer not to get inside work experience of those operating theatres, as cool as it would be for my resume. I happen to be pretty attached to my organs.

  • [Reassuring and confident] Hey, don't worry about it! It barely left a scratch on me - literally! I told you my regenerative powers work super fast - uh, pun totally not intended - but yeah. I'll be just fine! [A little quieter] I'd be more worried for the doc and his dumb goons if Val hears about this because she might...you know uh...kill them…[Changing the subject quickly after a Pause] B-But I won't let that happen! First rule of being a super - do good and save the day with the least amount of violence. Violence is...never the answer. ...But yeah!  If any of you got any injuries back there, just let me know and I'll patch it up right away. 

  • [Chomp chomp] Oh man, this is so good! Real good! [chomp chomp]  Mmm...I might have to have fourth helpings~!  ….[Pouting defensively] Hey, don't look at me like that! It takes a lot of energy to heal myself and other people. It's not my fault my abilities consume so many calories and leave me with such an appetite that I can finish a whole bag of burritos within minutes! [chomp] A super's got to eat!


    [Fondly] Aww, you're so cute~ Well, sure  I mean, there’s definitely some differences between our capacity to heal and that, but I’d be happy to try and teach you a bit - one super to another! [Enthusiastically and playful] All we need to get you is a lil mask and cape and then you could be my sidekick!

Elliot

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Corbanator98

Summary:  Elliot is a level headed, loyal and friendly teen. An eighteen year old young man who enjoys science and acting, he's very affectionate and a true gentleman to his girlfriend Siberia, not to mention a  great friend and ally to have on your side. His abilities involve gravitational manipulation - essentially, he can make himself and other items in the vicinity weightless, including granting himself the power of flight, hence his alias of 'Wizard'. Lately he has also learned how to do the opposite and make items or himself heavier, but that's...still a work in progress. His abilities have attracted the attention of Everest, so having Voss on his back isn't anything too new for him. Elliot is very honest to his morals. It takes a lot for him to lose his temper, but when he does it can be...rather unsettling to bear witness to. He's a hero who will step in to help anyone in need and is naturally very protective of those he cares about. He tries to come across as tough and brave and whilst definitely one with determination to not give up a fight, he often finds himself having to rely on slight quips and 'pick up lines' to keep up that brave face. It can definitely be a handy tool for stalling the bad guys though. As such, he has a good sense of humour (even if they might fall flat on more than one occasion and the bad guys don't particularly appreciate it) and can act pretty cool and casual, but it's only because he bottles up his true worries and fears for the sake of others. After all, that's what a hero does. Sadly he's no stranger to being a lil 'tied up' with things, so that's probably why he now carries spare bobby pins and lock-picks in his socks wherever he goes. In short, Elliot is a very respectable and a considerable role-model, but Voss is one villain he will not hold back on.

Appearance: Arc I (Ch 7 - 9, 12, 13), Arc II (occasional appearances~)

Personality: Brave, Protective, Caring, Heroic, Caring, Well-mannered, Friendly, Moralistic, Determined, Good humoured and Selfless

Voice: Confident and casualwith a mid pitch. His voice should be friendly and caring but also sound more serious and focused when partaking in heroic duties. He will also respond with some sass and sarcasm if you anger him, whilst at other times having a lighter and slightly awkward tone when throwing out his occasional quips to stall for time. 

Disclaimer: Elliot belongs to the super talented SilverDragon123 (one of our amazing staff~) and is her precious baby. She will be deciding who the final role goes to, so good luck~ Placeholder artwork also belongs to her too!

  • [At first nervous and strained, like he’s being lifted by the lapels] [Muttered] Ow. [Clears throat]. Of course I dumpster dive around here. Ow. A-All the time. [More confidently with some sass] It’s called a garbage can, not a garbage can’t. 


    [Gasping in relief after an adrenaline rush] Oh Glory! Th-that was way too close. ...Hey, you okay, Kiddo? Not hurt? [Relieved sigh]...Don’t worry.. We’re outta there now. Just hold on tight, I’ll get us somewhere safe. …[Slight laugh] Yeah, we’re really flying. Just a little longer and we’ll be at Sibee’s place [With some pride] - ah, she’s my girlfriend. She’s amazing. You’ll love her - and she’ll definitely love you.

  • [Trying to be confident and cool but actually pretty nervous, attempting to stall] Well, f-funny story...I was in the neighborhood doing...um [Long awkward pause] Fire...escape...inspection. Haaate to break it to ya, Doctor: Yours ain’t up to snuff. [Another awkward pause] Smooth, Wizard. Smooth. 

  • [Through clenched teeth, almost in disbelief and clearly containing anger] Civilised? You call what you’re doing civilised? Kidnapping and holding innocent people against their will? [Progressively getting angrier] Experimenting on supers for the sake of your so-called ‘Greater Good’?! People like you are the worst. [Deep breath to calm down, speaking quieter but still just as furious]. I could probably respect Hitler more at this point. [Growling, threatening] And if you even think of laying a finger on Sibee, I think I can afford to shove morals aside for long enough to make you regret it, ‘Doctor’.


    [With determination] I can’t just leave things to lie. I can’t!  [Thump as he smacks his fist on something. He exhales] I can’t just sit back when...when I could do so much more. People [Emphasis] need me. There’s more to powers than cats in trees.

Siberia

Unpaid
Role assigned to: VampireBre

Summary: Siberia (fondly nicknamed 'Sibee') is a sweet and caring eighteen year old girl who is warm, big sisterly and could easily possess a heart of gold. As her abilities involve empathic manipulation (ie: absorbing positive and negative energy from others and likewise broadcasting such energy to others herself), she is very empathetic, able to pick up on others’ thoughts and emotions within the vicinity, as well as detect liars with ease. She has recently taken on the alias of 'Tiger' and like her boyfriend Elliot, she has also had the misfortune of being pursued by Everest and a mysterious super known only as Ulysses. She is honest, studious, creative and affectionate to many people. She believes strongly in her values and morals and hates the idea of others being hurt or upset, so she will endeavour to do her whatever she can to achieve a peaceful negotiation from both parties. However, she is rather vulnerable and can push herself very easily over her limits, in her desperation to take away others’ pain. She is quite new to the super scene compared to Elliot and she has only recently realised her own powers, so they’re a little hard to control currently. Siberia also tends to get pretty anxious and have panic attacks when pushed to her limits. Still, despite her fears and apprehension, she always does her best to put on a brave face for the sake of others. She sees Ash as a younger brother to her and is more than prepared to do whatever it will take to keep him and other supers safe - but such noble aims sometimes bring significant consequences...

Appearance: Arc I (Ch 7 - 9, 12, 13), Arc II (occasional appearances~)

Personality: Kind, Caring, Brave, Warm, Big-sisterly, Sweet, Compassionate, Selfless, Empathetic, Honest and Moralistic

Voice: Warm and caring, with a mid to mid-high pitch. Her voice should be rather soothing and gentle, but also sound quite cool and disapproving when she gets angered. It takes a lot for Sibee to raise her voice, so her speech is mostly soft and gentle. 

Disclaimer: Siberia belongs to the super talented SilverDragon123 (one of our amazing staff~) and is her precious baby. She will be deciding who the final role goes to, so good luck~ Placeholder artwork also belongs to her too!

  • [A little surprised, but warm, friendly and soothing] Ah, good morning. I didn’t hear you get up. How are you feeling? ...You must be feeling a little lost and confused right now, but that's okay. All you need to know is that you're safe now and I won’t let anyone hurt you here.  [Smiling] My name is Siberia, but everyone calls me Sibee. … [Slight laugh] Don’t worry, I’m not as cold or frosty as my name. [Pause]...I hope not, at least. I can’t say the same for my hands though. They’re always pretty cold!


    [Thoughtfully with some wariness, a little hushed] ...I don't think we should trust what they say so easily. As much as I want to believe them, they're really setting off my Weirdar. [Resolutely, trying to sound confident]...Let's slip away quietly before they catch on to us and reconvene with Elliot. It’ll be okay. [With full belief and reassurance] Just trust in your power. Mind over the Matter. That’s it.

  • [Playfully sarcastic] That’s very humble of you. [Pause] ] Yeah, Really pretty coming to a novice like me from a seasoned vegetable such as yourself. [Realising] ...That wasn’t right. Seasoned VETERAN. [Laughing at herself] Geez. 

  • [Sweetly. Hushed.] Hey. Hey. Look at me. [Pause] You’re not alright, but that’s okay. That’s okay because we’re safe here. No better time to not be alright than now. Squeeze my hand tight [breathes in deeply then out deeply] Don’t bury it. You can’t hurt me. You can’t hurt you. Not with me here. ...You feel that? I’ve got us covered. That’s right. We’re safe.


    [Bargaining and empathetic] You say that, Doctor Voss, but...I know that there is more to you than that. [Softly, probing] There’s a part of you that...doesn’t really want this, isn’t there? There has to be a deeper reason for your actions, or maybe you found yourself in with the wrong crowd out of desperation to find a purpose for yourself, [a little shaky] b-but...whatever it is, it is not too late to do the right thing now [Pause]. ...P-Please. Things don’t have to be this way...

Fetch

Unpaid
Role assigned to: dvu0125

Summary: Fetch is...well, let’s say you don’t wanna piss him off or get on his bad side. Real name Chase Fetcher, mid forties, mercenary and kidnapper for hire - pay the right price and he’ll get the job done. No messing and no pleasantries. He isn’t above murder, but he doesn’t particularly like getting his hands dirty too often (although he has worked in the organ trade before so...yeah…). He’s fast, swift, practical and smart, taking time to assess, observe and plan out the mission before going after the target. He knows every trick up a captive’s sleeve and he knows how to 'settle them down', be it a sharp punch to the gut, a cold glare or a chilling threat that quickly calms a rebellious hostage right down. Respect is important to him and sass will be rewarded by either a slap or an especially uncomfortable gag. If the captive plays nice though, then he can be...nice enough, with little privileges gained for good behaviour. He does things for his own gain and never ‘stuff for free’, so it’s very conditional on his side. That being said, he has a slight secret softer spot for younger captives and even he has opinions of where the line shouldn't really be crossed - even experimenting on teenagers goes past his morals. He travels around with his accomplice, Erick. He may treat the boy like an annoyance and his personal punching bag at times, but he does listen to his advice on the odd occasion and deep down does...care for the boy in his own twisted way. But in short, he'll do pretty much anything for the right price - including going after the escaped 'patients' from the institute... 

Note: Whilst Fetch can make some pretty dark and violent threats, they will NOT be carried through on screen (off-screen if at all)

Appearance: Arc I (Ch 9 onwards), Arc II (occasional appearances~)

Personality: Cold, Snarky, Sarcastic, Serious, Focused, Sadistic, Impatient, Cruel, Conditional, Manipulative, Selfish, Easily Angered and pretty Callous

Voice: Gruff and snappy with a low pitch. He often raises his voice and frequently uses quite derogatory language towards his captives or Erick, if the kid gets on his last nerve. He should sound gleefully sadistic when threatening or really getting into his 'work' and be able to growl, yell and bark out orders that will be obeyed no matter what. At other times he can sound pretty casual and almost eerily calm sometimes too.

Disclaimer: Fetch belongs to the super brilliant Maxy, co-director of the project. As such, they will be deciding who the final role goes to, so good luck~  Placeholder artwork also belongs to the amazingly talented scarletfish8eta on Deviantart! 

  • [Yelling] Erick! Get your ass here right now! [Somewhat impatient] Finally.  Now...what did I say right before sending you to check on the hostages? [Darker]...Exactly. Give them some water. Don't interact with them. [Raising voice again] So why did I just hear you casually chatting with them? [Exasperated and furious, tugging at Erick’s ears painfully]...For the last goddamn time, what is the point in you having these things if you aren’t ever gonna use them for listening?! Maybe I should just do you a favour and cut them off.


    [Annoyed, muttering] Jesus, this is exactly why I hate teenagers. Think they know everything, always talking back. Stupid lil...[Exaggerated sigh before raising voice] Listen up, brats! You’re lucky I’ve been ordered not to harm a hair on either of your pretty lil heads. But if you ever get bored enough to try a stunt like that again, then I’ll gladly find a way for us to pass the time. [Sinisterly yet casually] We’ll play my favourite game. All you need is a scalpel [slow emphasis to drag out the threat] or a nice sharp shiny knife. I call it ‘Where Does It Hurt Most'?

  • [Explaining] Look, Shortie, I don’t do things for free. That’s not how the world works. [Seriously, a little taunting] You want my help?  Then you’ve gotta earn it by doing something for me - and then I might consider lending you a hand. [A bit dismissive] See, I don’t know much about these ‘supers’ or whatever you’re referred as nowadays. Those weird powers of yours may be freaky…[Slow and emphasis] but they are also very useful. [Reverting to casual tone] So, what do ya say, Kid? Wanna hear me out [Threatening] or would you prefer to be back in those ropes whilst I call that doc back?

  • [Sarcastically, mimicking the guard] Apologies, but I really don’t care. [Hushed and threatening, dark and sadistic] Now, unless you wanna find out exactly what it feels like to undergo a disembowelment without any form of anaesthesia, you’re gonna tell us the code to access the security system in the next five seconds, aren’t you?


    [A little panicked, showing care and concern for Erick] Hey, look at me, kiddo! Are you hurt anywhere? Did they do anything to you? ...No? [Relieved sigh] ...Good. That’s good. Now…[Seriously and somewhat threatening] if you ever make me have to risk my ass like that to save yours again, I swear I’ll kill you. Got that? ...Good. Don’t forget it. Now come on. We gotta get the heck outta here. I’ll check you up once we’re away from this goddamn place.

Erick

Role assigned to: StormRed

Summary: Erick is a soft and deep down kind-hearted eighteen year old boy, who seems to have become...apathetic to his unfortunate circumstances. He used to be a normal teenager, even though life wasn't great. However, that all changed since his abduction by Fetch at just fifteen years old and when his own father refused to pay his ransom, Erick turned to his only company for consolation - his abuser and abductor. Eventually he agreed to let Erick stay as his accomplice, but their relationship is again, far from straight forward. He sees his purpose to be Fetch’s accomplice, get through each day with whatever task they have to do next and doing his best to help out. After all, if he doesn’t or if he makes mistakes (or sometimes for no reason besides catching Fetch in a bad mood) then Fetch takes his frustrations out on him. He’s used to being talked down, ordered about and abused. It’s just normal for him now. He gets on with the job, wanting to please Fetch - and he does do a good job, learning several of Fetch’s ‘trade tricks’ and proving to be a useful accomplice. Despite that, he does feel sorry for the victims and has genuine care and concern for them, taking it upon himself to reassure them and offer small comforts. He’s very smart in maths, practical and rather resourceful, but try to insist Fetch is the bad guy and he’ll defend him and even make excuses for him. Indeed, the poor lad hasn’t come out of this too well. In short, he's a young man who knows when the line has been crossed and he will speak up for what he believes in if he feels brave enough. At times he can be a little sarcastic and bratty, much to Fetch's annoyance. On the whole though, he obeys the rules, although their latest 'job' is something he isn't quite sure of...

Appearance: Arc I (Ch 9 onwards) Arc II (occasional appearances~)

Personality: Soft, Sensitive, Caring, Obedient, Submissive, Friendly, a little Apathetic, Quiet, Apprehensive, Intelligent, occasionally Sarcastic and Practical

Voice: Quiet and soft, with a mid- pitch. He should sound quite submissive when following orders and doesn't tend to raise his voice too often lest Fetch get mad. He's very used to the rule 'speak when spoken to' and may speak with a slight stammer when anxious, but as he has become more apathetic to his 'role', his voice would do well to reflect that. That being said, Erick can get a little snappy and sarcastic if you catch him in a mood, but also a little panicky if he thinks he is in for being 'taught a lesson' or trying desperately to calm a furious Fetch down.

Disclaimer: Erick belongs to the super brilliant Maxy, co-director of the project. As such, they will be deciding who the final role goes to, so good luck~ Placeholder artwork also belongs to the amazingly talented scarletfish8eta on Deviantart!

  • [Apologetically, slightly awkward and a little hushed] I... can't untie you and I can't tell you that...Sorry, I'm not really supposed to be talking to you right now and...he can get really mad if you break his rules. [Pause]...But I can uh, give you something to drink if you want. You must be pretty thirsty, right? ...Come on. Let me help you sit up.


    [In pain and afraid] Nngh! Ow! I-I'm Sorry, Fetch! I just...please hear me out...Sir. [Quietly, but trying to sound confident] Ash wasn’t lying about what he said earlier. Those people sound really dangerous - and they do...horrible things behind the scenes. You have rules and boundaries yourself. You can’t just send them back to that crazy doctor to do who-knows-what kind of freaky experiments on them! 

  • [Surprised, a little lost for words, but touched] O-Oh uh, thank you! It's nothing really, I just...math is one of the few things I'm pretty good at. There's just something about numbers and puzzles that really attracts me. [Brighter]...Hey, maybe after we've finished chores for the day I can teach you both a little, if you want. 

  • [Thoughtfully] I dunno, it's just been me and Fetch for such a long time. Travelling here and there, carrying out this job or that job, take the money and move on to the next thing. [Softly] It's...been a while since I had someone else to really talk to besides Fetch. Since I had friends like you and Krissy...It feels nice. [Returning to casual tone, with a hint of warning] ...Anyway, we should hurry up with getting the extra supplies he asked for. He really doesn't like to be kept waiting.


    [Quietly, a little afraid]...Y-Yeah, Fetch does...hurt me sometimes...but it's only to teach me a lesson. [In clear denial, trying to make excuses] It's only because I...deserve it. I mean, rules are there for a reason and if you don't follow them, you face punishment. It's only right. [Resolute] It's...my own fault if I ask too many questions, speak back to him or somehow mess up. [A little conflicted]...But then he also feeds me, keeps me and looks after me if I get sick. He actually tolerates me being around…[Bitterly] unlike my real dad. [Admirably] ...Fetch is...he's more of a dad to me than he was.
