2 1 5 5 - Audio Drama
Project Overview
2 1 5 5
We follow the life of James Connor, a young man trapped being interviewed by state officials. Set in 2155 societies have collapsed, governments failed, humanity itself is threatened. Groups that have identified themselves as "NOMAs" have started roaming the cities, scavenging what they can, taking prisoners and leaving very little behind. James has been taken in by the IEA and questioned about the start of the downfall.
Background: Set in the year 2155, the climate change issues haven't been resolved, in fact have escalated drastically. This got the general public stirring. As the economy began to decline the built up tension surrounding the public eventually erupted. Groups formed, societies fell, governments retreated into hiding. The NOMA initiative began shortly after the the eruption in society. They travelled around, pillaging surviving areas and threatened anyone in their path. The population began to dwindle drastically. Dehydration, starvation and the NOMA groups began to kill off those trying to survive. Rumours of an independent law enforcement team have spread amongst the world, sparking hope in those desperate to survive.
Artistic View
This is framed in a TV format. Released as a podcast on major podcasting platforms. The show should be like a movie without picture. There shouldn't be a need for narration to drive the story, so each actor will have a very decent chunk of lines. The majority of the story revolve around James Connor, Det. Thomas and Ava Connor. Many more characters will have huge importance such as Drake and Robbie.
Rules
- You will need your own recording set up.
- This project might be a long term thing, yet as of right now it is not definite.
- Please respect all those involved in the process. In an ideal world we'll have a large enough team working on this, so please respect those involved.
- You will need a discord for table reads and getting to know the cast.
- This as of right now is an unpaid project, but hopefully we can accommodate some of you down the line.

James Connor
Age: 28
Build: Medium but fit.
Born: Rock Springs, Wyoming
Profession: Logistics Associate
Traits: Relaxed and in control most the time, has evocative episodes.
He was born and raised by a middle class family by his two parents, Stephen and Olivia.
I am not too picky on the geographic setting of his accent. He's pretty neutral but has moments of evocative outbursts. I believe his voice would be quite similar to John Krasinski in Jack Ryan.
e.g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ad0AFg3-6Y
Well, I mean it all started back in TeVco. I was just at my desk, you know filling out forms, and then we just felt a rumbling...
*A little panicky and almost protective of Ava.* Hey! Hey, we are just trying to pass through. We don't mean any harm, we-uh... we'll just turn back..
*Frustrated* Look! I don't know! We were just trying to survive... I don't who you're looking for or what you want from me!
*Saddened* I just want this all to be over..... Please, just let me go.
Paul Thomas
Age: 36
Build: Muscular and large in stature.
Born:
Profession: Detective
Traits: Quite intimidating and quick to temper.
He's a detective with the IEA, he is one of the leading narrators of the story. He asks James Connor the main questions that drive the story. He's got quite a deep voice and has almost a rough tonality to it.
Weirdly enough I imagine his voice kind of like Liam Neeson's Bad Cop in The Lego Movie. Not with the Irish accent, but using that as a base for the coarseness in his voice.
*Relaxed and in control* So, I want you to go all the way back to the start. It says here.... you're, James? Ok.... well, James, I need you tell me who was at TeVco.
*Fed up and slightly tired* .....Ok....but you're still not giving me straight answer. You NEED to tell me what happened. I don't quite know if you know where you are... or who I am, but right now I'm the only one you can trust. Ok?
*Infuriated* LISTEN! You have five fucking seconds to give me a straight answer!
Ava Connor
Age: 27
Build: Slender but in shape
Born: Denver, Colorado
Profession: Music Teacher
Traits: Tends to be quite stressed and very quick to overthink certain situations.
Ava was born in Provo, Utah and stayed in the city until she was 22. Shortly after she met James she moved out to Denver with him to be with him in TeVco and began teaching at local High School.
Similarly to James I'm not too picky on the geographic setting of the voice. I feel she would have a soft yet, shaky voice.
*Panicked on the phone* James pick up! Everyone's stressed and freaking out. I need you here. Call me as soon as you can!
We need to get out of here.... Ok, look let me just grab some things and we can go. Have you seen my phone.
*Scared* I don't wanna go. You can't just leave me here... No! Stop! COME BACK!
Drake
Age: Mid 20s
Build: Quite skinny
Born: ?
Profession: NOMA Leader
Traits: Very aggressive, short tempered and intrusive.
Drake is the charismatic leader of a NOMA group. He's very quick to pull a trigger and only wants what's best for himself. I'm more into the mannerisms and speech style rather than accent.
I feel a good example for Drake would be Anarky from Batman Origins and Handsome Jack from Borderlands.
Anarky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvIRIfclsXI
Handsome Jack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0jDp6bTigs
*Curious but threatening* Now, now, now....what are you doing so deep within the city, Hm? See... this is my city, THIS, is my crew and we don't take too kindly to strangers.
*Angry* What the, FUCK do you mean they got away? Oohhhhh you HAVE to be kidding. You USELESS, IDIOTIC, BRAIN DEAD... AGGHHHHH
Say something you think would suit!
Robbie
Age: Mid 20s
Build: Medium
Born: ?
Profession: NOMA follower
Traits: Very calm, collected and determined
Robbie is a young follower in one of the NOMA groups. His morals are in the right place but knows he's has to follow the pack just to stay alive. Similar to Drake, I'm more interested in the mannerisms of the character and your interpretation of the character.
I have no real example or idea of how he should sound
*Softly* You guys clearly aren't from around here. I'm Robbie. You guys just gotta keep your heads down and flow with the pack, then you'll be fine.
Woah, just relax a minute! These guys are with me. Look, I know what it looks like. But they're just here to help me out.
We don't have a lot of time. Head south, take the second gate exit! LISTEN! Then you're heading onto Ash avenue. There you'll see a red truck in the ditch. The key is under the passenger seat, it should have half a tank. You gotta go now!
These guys are kind of like the goons to the NOMAs. They're very much just following orders and are very inconsiderate for the common people. They're really just out for personal gain.
Hey boys... look what we've got here...
I don't think you're gonna wanna do that...
Way I see it, there's only two of you and there's.... thre-fou-FIVE of us....
This would be a few number of extras for people like Robbie or a few people James and Ava encounter.
Hey, how would you be interested in some goods?
Please! You gotta help! I've been hit! You gotta get me to a camp.
