Daniel (Main Character)
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

Daniel is kind-hearted and easy to talk to. He’s brave but also reckless, acting before thinking when someone is in danger. He has a tendency to get flustered, especially around strangers or emotional situations. He uses humour sometimes to cope with stress, making him naturally likeable.

He is loyal to the people he cares about, and fiercely protective. Once someone earns his trust, he will stand by them no matter what. He occasionally gets nervous in unfamiliar environments, but he pushes through it with determination.

  • (normal) Thank you. And… sorry for freaking out. This is just a lot.

Nari (Main Side Character)(Demi-Human)
open
Unpaid

Nari is gentle and soft-spoken, usually the quiet presence in a room. She’s quick to help others, offering assistance even when she gets nothing in return. Although she’s nervous around humans, and with good reason, she pushes past her fear because she has to survive, work, and exist among them every day. Despite her hardships, she still maintains a warm, caring aura, the type that makes others feel safe without even knowing why.

  • U-Um… I’m not a “fox-girl.” I’m… well… I’m just a demi-human.

  • Mostly. I… needed to ask about a room. Just for tonight. For one.

Starrla (Main Side Character) (Elf)
open
Unpaid

Starrla is sharp-tongued and independent, carrying herself with the confidence of someone who once lived among royalty and refuses to let that be taken from her. Banished from her homeland for defying her mother, she now survives in the human kingdom, where elves and demi-humans are often met with distrust. She masks old wounds with humor, sarcasm, and an unhealthy fondness for tavern drinks, but beneath that rough edge is someone deeply loyal and quietly compassionate. Though she claims not to care what others think, the weight of rejection and exile still lingers, shaping both her strength and her flaws.

  • (Drunk) Okay—hic—I might’ve been a princess once, but right now I’m just an elf in a human tavern who absolutely refuses to switch to water.

  • (Panicked) Wait—stop! If the guards find us here, everything goes wrong—just… just trust me and move!

Cassius (Neutral Antagonist) (Vampire)
open
Unpaid

Cassius is an ancient vampire who has walked the world for over 1,500 years, surviving empires, wars, and eras that most people only read about in history books. Once a man with ideals, centuries of violence and betrayal have worn him down into someone cynical, sharp-witted, and emotionally guarded. He’s been hired as a soldier, an assassin, a mercenary, whatever the age demanded because when you can’t die, you keep getting reused.

Despite his brutal past, Cassius isn’t mindlessly cruel. He’s tired. World-weary. He’s seen humanity repeat the same mistakes over and over, and now carries himself with the calm confidence of someone who knows how every fight usually ends. He speaks like a man who’s survived too much to be impressed anymore, masking old pain with dry humor and a hardened exterior.

  • (Sarcastic) Relax. If I wanted you dead, this conversation would’ve been much shorter.

  • (Threatening) (controlled, not loud) You can walk away right now… or you can make this interesting. I promise you won’t enjoy the second option.

Celeb (Main Side Character)(Demi-Human)
open
Unpaid

Celeb is one of the main supporting characters in Aetheria. At first glance, he's confident, intimidating, and always ready to throw himself into a fight. He's physically strong, capable, and knows it. Because of that, he often carries himself like he's invincible.

He's the type of person who walks into danger without thinking twice and genuinely believes he can handle almost anything thrown at him.

However, beneath that confidence is a major flaw: he tends to overestimate himself. Celeb often acts tougher than he really feels and sometimes convinces himself he's untouchable. His confidence can border on recklessness, causing him to make impulsive decisions or take risks that put himself and others in danger.

Despite this, he has a good heart and is fiercely loyal to the people he cares about. When things become serious, his bravado starts to crack, revealing someone who isn't nearly as fearless as he wants everyone to believe.

Voice Direction
  • Medium-low to low-pitched voice.
  • Naturally confident and strong sounding.
  • Can be cocky and self-assured without sounding arrogant all the time.
  • Able to switch between confident, joking moments and more vulnerable emotional scenes.
  • Should sound like someone who believes they can take on any challenge, even when they probably shouldn't.
I will provide voice references for the type of voice I'm looking for, so please use those as guidance when auditioning.

  • (CONFIDENT / COCKY) Come on, is that seriously the best they've got? I've fought things twice your size before breakfast. Relax. I'll handle it.

  • (RECKLESS CONFIDENCE) You guys worry too much. Nothing's gonna happen. We go in, take care of the problem, and we're done. Easy.

  • (VULNERABLE / EMOTIONAL) I thought I could protect everyone... I really did. But every time I say I've got this, somebody ends up getting hurt. Maybe... maybe I'm not as strong as I keep telling myself I am.

Periwinkle/Peri (Main Side Antagonist) (Elf)
open
Unpaid

Periwinkle, usually called Peri, is the younger sister of Starrla and a respected noble within the Elven Kingdom. Calm, intelligent, and exceptionally skilled at controlling her emotions, Peri has spent years crafting the image of the perfect daughter and loyal citizen.

Behind that carefully maintained facade lies a far more ruthless person. Ambitious and manipulative, Peri is willing to do whatever is necessary to secure power and protect her position. She rarely raises her voice, rarely loses her temper, and almost never reveals her true feelings. Even when lying, she can sound completely sincere.

After the murder of the Elven King, Peri successfully shifted suspicion onto her older sister, Starrla, resulting in Starrla's exile from the kingdom. While most believe Peri is a victim of the tragedy, the truth is far darker.

Peri sees emotions as weaknesses to be exploited and people as pieces to be moved across a board. However, beneath her calculated exterior lies a constant fear of losing control and having the truth exposed.

Though she appears graceful, kind, and trustworthy to the public, Peri is often several steps ahead of everyone around her.

  • (Normal) People see what they want to see. If you smile at the right moment and say the right words, they'll believe almost anything.

  • (Deceptive / Concerned) I miss my sister every day. Despite everything she's done... part of me still hopes she'll come home someday.

  • (Threatening / Controlled Anger) You think exposing me will change anything? By the time anyone hears your story, they'll already believe mine.

Lord Veylor (Main Side Antagonist) (Human)
open
Unpaid

Lord Veylor is a wealthy noble from one of the most influential families in the Human Kingdom. Charming, composed, and effortlessly confident, Cassian carries himself like someone who has never had to fear consequences.

Born into privilege, he was raised to believe that status determines value and that power exists to be used. While many nobles hide their prejudice behind politics, Veylor rarely bothers. To him, demi-humans are property, tools meant to serve those above them. He treats them with cold indifference at best and cruelty at worst.

Despite his reputation, Veylor is not loud or arrogant. In fact, he's often relaxed, polite, and even likable when first meeting people. He rarely raises his voice because he never feels the need to. Guards protect him. Wealth protects him. The law protects him.

Unknown to most, Veylor's family has ties to a secret organization devoted to the forgotten legend of Herobrine. His father was a devoted member of the cult and passed that responsibility to his son before his death.

Unlike many cultists, Veylor doesn't worship out of fear or fanaticism. He views the cult as another path to influence and power. However, the deeper he becomes involved, the more he realizes there are forces within the cult far beyond his control.

Beneath his calm demeanor is a ruthless manipulator willing to sacrifice anyone to protect his position. To Veylor, loyalty is bought, morality is negotiable, and people are valuable only as long as they remain useful.

  • (Cold / Prejudiced) Treat them however you like. They're servants, not guests. The sooner they remember their place, the easier this becomes for everyone.

  • (Threatening / Controlled) You seem to believe the truth matters. It doesn't. Power decides what people believe. And I have far more power than you do.

  • (Angry — Rare Loss of Composure) Do you have any idea what I've built? What I've sacrificed? I will not watch everything crumble because of one mistake!

We’re looking for Minecraft builders to help create the worlds of AETHERIA. This role involves working together as a team to build detailed sets and environments, including medieval-style cities, castles, small villages, and other locations used in the series.

For this role, you’ll be given Minecraft skin references for the characters, and your job will be to reinterpret them into a more detailed, anime-style look for things like posters, promotional images, thumbnails, and other visual assets. The skins are just the base reference, there’s room for creativity when translating them into proper illustrations, as long as the character still feels recognizable.
