WHAT is this project?
Three of a Rose is a mod that adds 3 custom-voiced followers (Arenza, Harrow, and Qine) and a unique questline for each.
As for me, I'm Corinn, a first-time mod-maker and at-release player of Skyrim. Now that our giant woman is functional in-game, I can start working on her quests and script and the need for her voice is becoming relevant, so it's time to get your help. As I've worked, I have come to the conclusion that bringing in the voice actors sooner is better. Don't worry, there's more than just the three followers! I need all sorts of quest-relevant characters, from old and new flames to skulking antagonists.
WHAT is needed from me?
First, please have a decent mic with minimal background noise or the skills to remove it yourself. I don't have said set of skills yet, nor the software to learn at the moment.
Second, please expect a lot of recording, and expect possibly returning once I get around to making her 2 companions later down the line as they will likely get new dialogue between them specifically.
Third, as for skill this is open to everyone. I don't bite, and I'd love to hear anyone's audition! This mod is a huge learning process for me, and I'm happy for it to be that same way with you as well.
Lastly, you will need to join the Discord for ease of communication.
Final Notes:
Due to my inexperience modding, I have trouble giving a deadline for the mod's release. For now, I'm hoping the absolute latest would be the end of next year, and preferably the end of this year.
Please remember that TESV: Skyrim is an M rated video game. You must be over 18 to apply for the voice acting role for Three of a Rose.
If you have ANY questions at all, please shoot me a message!
Howdy all! This is a sort of half-update, directed towards previous auditioners. Two very important antagonists have been added, Agalar and Kindred, and it's been almost a week with no auditions for them. If you haven't, please give them a look!
The public discord will be here soon. Expect that as the other half to this update. :]
Howdy everyone!
I can't believe we just hit 30 auditions. I didn't expect this project to get so big and to find so much incredible talent. I'm leaving most roles open for as long as possible, and I'm working through adding new roles as I've been plotting out the big three's questlines. It's quite likely that I'll DM some of you who auditioned with other roles you may be interested in, so keep an eye out!
As for the mod, lots of progress has been made. Arenza's first quest is just a little bit of work away from being complete, her full questline is plotted, the boys are getting their respective stories on paper as well, concept art is being made, the foundations of Three Thorns Manor are being built, and more. Learning so many new things, from Blender to the Creation Kit. It takes a lot of my time (we've got ~70 hours into this thing so far) and I appreciate all of your patience in my casting process.
As for a tentative roadmap:
With Arenza's second quest moving forward nicely, I'll be doing a rough round of casting tomorrow in the evening, so get some last minute auditions in now. I will also be providing feedback on some auditions in the next few days. A public discord server for the mod will also be listed soon for anyone interested in more information or progress updates, and I will post an update then. Otherwise, modding is a slow process, and after a very tiring move it's much harder to take two steps forward and one step back all the time with a Skyrim mod.
Thank you for keeping up on this project with me, have an excellent night everyone!
Corinn
Howdy everyone! I have begun uploading new roles when I have connection (my modem is currently not set up) so keep an eye out and check back often!
JULY 2ND UPDATE: To all the auditioners, thank you guys so much. I loved hearing from everyone. In all future projects, I will consider you all first for any voice acting roles. I'm currently brainstorming Arenza-quest-specific NPCs, and that's not even including other projects, so there's plenty more where this came from. Thank you again, and good luck! <3

Qine, or Qinhata as his proper Khajiiti name is, is a Tojay-raht Khajiit vampire follower available to find in Skyrim. He is known to have "the body of a warrior, but the mind of an archmage". Amongst the few who've heard his name, he's highly esteemed for his magical skill, especially in conjuration. His hedonistic loves are food, drink, and sweets. He cares not if you are vampire or mortal, if you disturb him or his closest companions, you will find yourself hurled into Oblivion.
Qine's in trouble. He tricked the trickster, cheated Sanguine out of a pitcher of Goat's Blood Wine. Now he is trying to clean up the damage of his deception, but his friends are not where they said they'd be. For now, banned from entering cities, he camps outside of Riften drinking Black Briar Mead until he hears any word of his companions. Qine's voice is described as low, oftentimes monotonous, and thickly accented.
(Meeting the Player.) You. Speaker with Sanguine. What did he talk of? What are you doing with the one named Arenza? You answer Qine, or he sends you to Oblivion.
(During the jailbreak.) This one finds you are just as moronic as his good friend Arenza... but to that end, you are important to her. Take this. Khajiit will see what he can do.
(Asking about his romantic life.) Qine delights in the company of his companions, he does not wish to slather lips and tails with others. Why, do you have interest in him? No? Then this one is surprised you are still talking. Khajiit suggests you silence yourself swiftly.
Arenza the Berserk is an Imperial vampire follower available to find in Skyrim. She is known that, despite being cold towards most folks, including (and oftentimes, especially towards) other vampires, she's a very loud presence. Loving life, drink, blood, finery, and the thrill of the hunt and combat, earned her her title. Arenza is also notorious for her opinion that mortals are not lesser than vampires, and the two groups should be forever locked in a game of cat and mouse, hunter and hunted.
Arenza's in Skyrim and trying to hatch a plan. She's just lost contact with her two most important people, and time is passing to the point she's presuming them both dead. For now, she lingers with a ragtag group of vampires hanging about near their base at Pinemoon Cave in Haafingar, hoping to hitch a ride back to Cyrodiil. Or maybe, just maybe, she'll stick around Skyrim. Arenza’s voice is described as rich and on the deeper end.
(Meeting the player.) I see you, hunter. Why don't you come out and we fight like equals, hm? Let's be civilized.
(When seeing an Imperial camp.) I met Titus once. On the Red Ring Road, marching on the Imperial City. You've never met anyone with such fortitude and heart. Tch, that man puts Ulfric's "leadership" to shame.
(In combat.) Have you ever thought about death?? It's about time you START!
Harrow is a Breton vampire follower available to find in Skyrim. Far older in his immortality than his former companions, plenty of vampires whisper about him, but his name's mostly fallen to the shadows. Despite that, he's quietly powerful, utilizing his long-trained skills in diplomacy and manipulation to get what he wants and needs. He loves stories more than anything else in the world. He is very upfront about his reason for turning: to read every book and hear every story for all time. More privately, though, is how immortality is beginning to weigh on him.
Harrow, after being separated from Arenza, wasn't sure where to go. For a long time he stayed in their old fort in Cyrodiil, but it's been so long now he's decided it's best to try to move on from his old companions. For now, he spends his days in Dawnstar, telling stories to try and soothe the sufferers of nightmares. Harrow's voice is described as somewhat theatrical, lightly accented, and steady.
(Meeting the Player.) Huh? Oh— hello, so sorry dear I didn’t notice you there. What could I do for you?
(After talking to Jarl Balgruuf (“ball-gruff or ball-groof”) for main quest plot with Harrow the first time.) That Jarl Balgruuf is quite the character, isn’t he? He seems to have the best mind this country’s seen in a few centuries. Shame he’s not High King… We could do something about that. I jest!… I don’t.
(Reminiscing about his friends.) I stayed in Cyrodiil for a long while. I thought, maybe, they’d come back to me there; There in the castle we once danced in. But now, with these rumors… the Dawnguard returning, Lord Harkon threatening to enslave Tamriel… I do believe the chance that either of them are alive is slim. (sigh) Being immortal is quite the life, isn’t it? Isn’t it…
This character deals with the sensitive topics of marital abuse and stalking.
Important multi-quest side character. Malla Vons is the pseudonym of Ginleth Sathayn, a mortal Dunmer woman and Harrow's girlfriend. She escaped her abusive husband in Morrowind after having a baby girl and ran away with the child. She's stowed her with some Dunmer in Raven Rock, Solstheim who agreed to act as her blood family in case her husband tried to steal the girl back, while Malla continued into Skyrim. To protect herself, she took a new name. She has tried very hard to leave her old life behind. However, as she feared, her husband has worked his way back, and is trying to find her to interrogate her for the location of their daughter. She is learning to lighten up thanks to Harrow's influence, and works with him to add diagrams, ornate drawings, and covers to his written works. She's on the quieter side. Malla's voice has no particular direction. Please include a Dunmer accent is all I ask.
(Discussing Her Work.) Harrow is a brilliant writer, but he likes to ask me to do the drawings in his stories. It's been nice... I certainly prefer this to farming, or- or something like that.
(When Pressed About Her Husband.) You can't be serious! I'm- I'm courting *Harrow*, we aren't married, I *have no husband*. What kind of joke is that? You- you need to work on your sense of humor...
(After Caving to the Player About Her Daughter.) . . . I named her... Sunnar... That's not a normal Dunmer name but- it means "blessing". She's my blessing. I just wish I could be there for her... I hope she doesn't remember me. I don't know if I could live with myself if she felt I abandoned her out of hatred, or spite.
This character deals with the sensitive topics of marital abuse and stalking.
Multi-quest antagonist. Sujas the mortal Dunmer husband of Malla Vons, secretly Ginleth Sathayn. He and Ginleth were young lovers, having been friends since childhood, and built up a farm together in Morrowind. However, he began to show his true colors. As stress mounted from financial loss and multiple seasons of poor harvest, a cycle of abuse began. What started as something far more "tame" occasional comments and jabs, he became physical and domineering. Ginleth remained in the marriage for a few years before falling pregnant and coming to terms with the way he'd been treating her. She fled with their daughter only a few days after giving birth. Sujas has spent the last decade tracking her down to take his child back, and now he's picked up on his wife's trail. Sujas' voice is described as TES III: Morrowind type Dunmer accented, extremely rough and low.
(Running Into the Player. The Player Is Not Elven.) Out of my way, nemer. Can't you see I'm busy? Speak. What do you want?
(Being Turned On by the Player.) She STOLE my DAUGHTER! You deceiving fetcher, you're just like her! By Namira I'll make sure you ROT, and I'll send that back-stabbing bitch with you!!
(Being Joined by the Player.) Finally, someone sees reason. I'd started to worry you were helping her behind my back. Fucking brilliant you aren't. Did she tell you where she sent the girl? Is she with her?
Multi-quest main antagonist. An undecided race vampire, Kindred's husband. He is described as a greasy, malevolent vampire who acts like a king. Agalar has a love for the dramatic, and his history with Harrow goes back a ways. They'd always eyed each other, but Harrow doesn't have the ambition to rule a vampiric court... Arenza does, though. Agalar and she have been rivals for most of her undead life. With her (temporarily) disappearing, the older vampire sees his opportunity. He's flirty, and while his wife would remark about his lack of skill, it's clear he's got a few dirty aces up his sleeve. He seems to use this pathetic outer appearance to guard a much more dangerous self. So who is he, really? Please include an evil laugh somewhere in your audition. Agalar's voice is described as charismatic, powerful, and velvetty.
As a side note, I am considering taking the GoT route and making Kindred and he siblings as well as married, please keep this in mind when you audition in regard to your personal comfort level.
(Overheard Discussing Vampiric Matters to His Small Court.) No, my friends, Skyrim is exactly where we want to be. Other vampires cower at her. Look at Movarth! The legendary Movarth, and now... what a joke! He's become a sniveling little man. He tries and fails to take a frozen waste of a town from a disgusting cavern. We are greater than he. That uppity woman Arenza has disappeared as well. All we have to worry about is Harkon now.
(Found Speaking with Jarl Elisef, Manipulating Her Opinions About the Player. The Player is Male.) Of course, my friend. Anything for you. I just- I can never help but worry. After the horrible... I can't say it. Oh, Elisef. Please be careful. That man and the hulking woman want nothing more than to see you bled to the sea. They must be stopped, inform everyone. (sigh) I cannot stay to protect you, and we both resent such things, but... do take care of yourself.
(During the Jailbreak, Approaching the Player in One of His Many Disguises.) My, my. I've not had a chance to see the specimen of you up close. You are an absolute delight to the eyes. I can't believe I let you get this far. Never have I let someone push me *this much*. It couldn't be helped. I loved our game. I believe your companion says we should all be in a marvelous hunt, cat-and-mouse, she says. (chuckles) Meow to you, then, my dear mouse. Try not to scream too much and ruin that nice throat of yours, I will be returning to collect you soon.
Multi-quest main antagonist. An undecided race vampire, wife of Agalar. She's very confident in her power, somewhat dramatic, often bored, just as conniving as her husband, and a much more dangerous combatant than him. Where he suffers maladies and instead puts his effort into his charisma, she's the one who does the dirty work-- but she makes it clean. She's an elegant swordswoman, and known not to take prisoners, one aspect where her Agalar fails deeply. The pair can be described in that Kindred can be too active and impulsive, whereas Agalar can be too passive and playful. Possibly more of a threat than he the leader of their faction. Please include an evil laugh somewhere in your audition. Kindred's voice is described as similar to Madame Medusa (two examples for you) from the 1977 film "The Rescuers", in that it is sleazy, sickly sweet, and dramatic.
As a side note, I am considering taking the GoT route and making her and Agalar siblings as well as married, please keep this in mind when you audition in regard to your personal comfort level.
(Overheard Talking to Agalar.) Dearest, you're quite... interested in this new rabble. Why do you think it'll be any different from before? We kill the fools, hang their skulls on our wall, and move on with our lives. You're becoming too... attached. Take care of it, or *I'll* do it.
(Meeting the Player, Who is Female.) Oh, well, you're pretty, I suppose. Pathetic, and quite the try-hard with all this adventurer nonsense, but pretty. And you're that dragon-birthed girl, aren't you? Hm. I think I'll mount your head and a pair of horns to go with it, right in the centre there. Too high? Or should I move it to the left?
(Seeing Arenza.) If it isn't! Ahaha, oh my darling, it's been too long! I was worried you'd gone and gotten yourself kill you silly thing, and I wouldn't be able to carve you up myself!
Very important multi-quest side character. Vaha-Azi is a senche Khajiit and the younger brother of Qine. He is known for being boisterous and someone who lives life to the fullest. He has a love for watching others and learning about them. Since he was a cub, he has been afflicted with Ostraekeratic Fever, an illness that causes the skin to slowly harden into a stony, or oyster-shell texture. He's tried to work from his home with their mother crafting artisanal goods, though the progression of his illness has made it difficult. Twenty years ago, Qine left home, telling his brother he'd find a cure. Twenty years later, Vaha-Azi cannot wait any longer. His brother has abandoned him, he believes, and he needs to take care of himself now after the passing of his father. Now with a personality that can turn on its heel, and the skills to talk his way in and out of many things, he's off around Tamriel and it looks like he's ended up in Skyrim... Vaha-Azi's voice is described as expressive, sharp, and clear.
(Meeting the Player. Last part spoken slowly.) Bahhhh, who does this one see in the fog? Hehehe, hello, hello, adventurer, come to try to barte-- *sniff* What... is that... smell... . . . Why do you smell of the Khajiit named Qinhata?
(Discussing His Family.) Hm? Khajiit is listening... Ah, of course! Qinhata is quite shy about his family, no? There is our mother, Kava, my brother, and I. Our father passed a few years ago. Vaha-Azi is your friend's only brother. We are an artisanal family, crafters, though Qinhata has always been more of a scholar. He's studied the arcanum since this one could meow! Ah... It is good to be reunited with Khajiit's family again. He thought Qinhata was killed, or... Best not to set that feeling free, yes?
(Discussing His Love Life, the Player is a Human Race.) Vaha-Azi has a partner, yes! Yes, yes. Khajiit is married to Mazilanka. Only to Vaha-Azi, though. He has many names across Tamriel... He is "Apple-Biter" with humans like yourself. He is not famous, no, but he is a traveler. A specialized courier! Do not ask this one how a Khajiit becomes a courier, Vaha-Azi suspects it is because Mazilanka is Alfiq, and very fast. Very fast indeed. You may find him yourself someday, he is sometimes hired by the armies residing in this cold, cold land, and he is quite the talker.
Multi-quest side character. Arenza's former commanding officer during the Great War with the Aldmeri Dominion, Tatianna is an older Imperial vampire. She now lives south of Windhelm and seems to have been keeping an eye on her old soldier. Her personality is levelheaded, hard-to-read, and perseverant. Tatianna's voice is described as rich and powerful.
(When asked why she's in Skyrim.) Yes, well, the hot springs are quite nicer than anything we have back in Cyrodiil, and the little Civil War is keeping me well fed. No one misses when one less soldier returns, as we know.
(When told her mercenary is alive.) I see. I suppose that changes things... Thank you for the help anyway, my friend. And you (talking to the player), take this helm as a token of my appreciation.
(When asked her stance on the Civil War.) A fool's honorable mission is what it is. Ulfric is too blinded by his pain to see the damage he's doing. The Empire failed on many counts, but signing the White-Gold Concordat was always temporary. Now, it risks becoming permanent with the Dominion keeping a much closer eye on us all.
This quest/character includes the topic of suicide.
Single-quest side character. Aeres is an Imperial vampire mercenary of Tatianna's who has gone missing under suspicious circumstances. He is formerly a part of the Legion. It's learned that he was courting a woman in town and vampire hunters found them, driving them over a cliff. He turned the woman to save her life as days passed, but things did not go as hoped, and Aeres is hysterical. Aeres does not have a voice description.
(When found.) It wasn't supposed to be like this! It wasn't! Gods, damnit, Ganna...
(Explaining his disappearance.) I'd been seeing Ganna for some time... She'd tell me all about her troubles over a drink, and I was always happy to listen. It turned into something amazing. I- I hadn't told her about my vampirism... I was going to the night we were attacked. The Dawnguard found us. I didn't even know they still existed! They chased us to the cliff and... we were stuck there so long, she was going to die without food...
(Asking the Player to lie for him.) No... No. Stop. I can't live like this... It's no life at all to be surrounded by blood and shit. I'm leaving. All I can do is ask you to lie to Tatianna for me. I don't imagine she'd take kindly to my desertion. Take my helmet, here, I'll bloody it for you and you can use it as proof. Just say I was killed by the Dawnguard or something...
Multi-quest side character. The Daedric Prince has got a new form! Made specifically for the mod's storyline, Sanguine's taken on a second (or maybe hundredth, who knows) mortal form as a man named Sami Guilain, a Dunmer. His voice should be similar but does not have to be identical to the already in-game performance! Sani is still his own person. However, please do check out voice clips of what Sanguine sounds like in game before auditioning.
(During the Jailbreak.) So, pal, buddy, hear me out. I've got a bet going with the guards that you can handle this liquor. It's tough stuff, but you massacred an entire town or something by the way they're treating you, right? Piece of cake then!
(If the Player Has Completed the Quest "A Night To Remember", during the jailbreak.) Ohhh, ohhhhhh I see. I see. You're fun. I *really* like you. What'd you do this time? Blow up Dragonsreach? Flood the Palace of Kings with milk? *gasp* Are you a vampire now??
(When Asked About Qine.) Oh, that cat? Yes, I know him. He's a buzzkill, is what he is. I must say I never expected that out of a devotee, and he might be one of my most impressive at times. People sure are strange. Anyway, he owes me. If you see him, call my name three times or something. I'll figure it out.
Single-quest main antagonist. Literally Sorrow-She-Sea, Sorekokaaz is an old serpentine dragon living in the abandoned Mossarch Mine. She is an antagonist and potential side character, as it's possible to speak with her if the player doesn't attack her immediately. Despite being resurrected by Alduin, she doesn't pledge her allegiance to him, and spends her days eating local game and travelers and adventurers who come in and attack her. She's a rather depressed and unmotivated dragon, having lost her closest sister Briiarhknaas (lit. Beauty and Tooth) and discontent that she was revived. She'll give the player information on Qine's quest, as well as many other vanilla quests, if spared. Keep in mind she will speak in dragontongue and you'll have to look into those pronunciations best of your ability! Using this translator might help, it includes a pronunciation. Sorekokaaz's voice is described as thoughtful, mournful, and long-used.
(If the Player Doesn't Attack Her.) Vomindok fez... Unexpected to find your weapon sheathed. Are you blind, or stupid?
(Agreeing to Be an Advisor to the Player.) Yes... I suppose I could agree to this... idea. Hi broziik, joor arhk kaaz. Come to me if you require assistance. Maybe the memories of a sahlo dovah, a feeble dragon, can yet help you.
(When the Player Tells Her They're Dragonborn.) I should not be surprised, yet I am. Dovahkiin... Mindol... So, your birth and Alduin's return must coincide. Hmhmhm... Ok bahlok paar ok sil. Do not fail as he, then. Do not overindulge the dragon blood. Your body is still only mortal. Nii fen krii hi. *It will kill you.*
This character deals with the sensitive topics of marital abuse and stalking.
Multi-quest side character. Sunnar Fadranni is a Dunmer child and "niece" to brothers Hlano and Velleth Fadranni. She is actually the daughter of Malla Vons, and was given to the brothers to care for her in the case her abusive father wants her back. She's around 12 in human years. She's a carefree but very hardworking kid, always trying to aid her uncles and most others in town in their work. She has a pet ash hopper named Scritch. Sunnar's voice is described as somewhat UK accented.
(Seeing the Player Before Harrow's Questline Begins.) Hey outlander! You look funny. I like it, your armor's cool. Did you make it yourself? Glover makes all of ours.
(In Conversation with Her Uncles.) But Hlanooooo I wanna weave today! You *know* I'm outta trauma root thin enough for circlets, and even Milore is out! I just need to go a little ways past the wall and-- *sigh* Yes, uncle.
(When Initially Told About Her Parents.) My parents are dead, that's why I'm with Hlano and Vandran! I don't believe you, you! You stupid outlander idiot! I hate you! Leave my family alone, stop making up lies!
