Almost Immortal: An Audio Dramedy
Project Overview
Almost Immortal is currently written for 3 Episodes, though if this project shows promise, more are on the way. This audition is offered as a package deal, with three scripts written and ready to record.
Episode Specific Roles for 2 and 3 coming in the future.
--------------
What do you get when you mush together two well armed teenagers, a cynical imaginary friend, the ability to never die, and the ever present risk of universal spaghettification?
Almost Immortal is an episodic, Sci-Fi—Lite Audio-Dramedy that takes place within the many lives and deaths of cousins Signus Santiago and Samantha Lowe. By some weird mishap these two cousins, after death, have the ability to recall to the earliest moment they could have prevented their own death. Using this unstable ability, they must sever the ties between many different universes that have now been combined, thanks to their gaining of this ability.
This combining event, called the convergence, is a direct result of quantum immortality, where the death of a person simply leads to another universe where they would have survived. While this definition does not exactly depict the quantum immortality in this audio project, it comes close to being an accurate idea.
Through the use of deduction, firearms, and sheer luck, the cousins and their imaginary friend must figure out a way to sever newly converged universes and prevent universal spaghettification.
Featured Lines:
Sam: [Understanding the carnival workers aren’t carnival workers] Human disguise, huh? You’re no carnival hokey, you’re a freakin’ alien or something! The kind that makes a naked mole rat look good! Eugh! Tentacles, slimy, got some weird sense of irony, don’t use any contractions. [Mode Change] Great! This is the part where you tell me what your whole secret plan is before I die, right? Ya know, buyers, what your ‘product’ is, how to sever the universes, and all?
[While running from a rather large monster]
[Terry and Sam begin discussing post-marathon meals]
Sam: Preferably something with some carbs and, uh…
~Shotgun Fire~
Sam: Some chocolate milk.
Signus: [Confused] Aren’t there better things to be talking about besides dinner! We’re about to become lunch!!!
Sam and Terry: No?
------------
Almost Immortal is designed to be a straight-to-Youtube audio project.
The recordings will preferably take place during live calls, as to get the most organic response between voice actors. If this is not possible, arrangements can be made.
The publishing date for the first episode is expected to be December 1st, with new episodes coming out either once or twice a month, depending on how fast production schedule can be carried out.
Three episodes are currently planned
Episode 1: Killer Karnival
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jz7io9G9OuzSGieI89YSGoyAVtROkYQQ_M37IR68T10/edit?usp=sharing
- This episode combines a normal carnival and aliens who turn humans into table seasoning. Expect one of our main characters to get disintegrated, and the not so happy response that comes afterwards
Episode 2: Mobile Flaming
- This episode combines an RPG Fantasy universe and mobile gaming, and involves just one young player who doesn't know when to quit. You will likely find many things you've wanted to do to troll a young, annoying player.
Episode 3: Narration: Required
- This episode takes elements of a Noir-Inspired Seattle, the required narration of that universe, and the features of animation software. Expect a jazzy soundtrack, a trip to the space needle, and a spree killer here or there.

Voice Actor
Signus Santiago
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Poppletron
Signus, the older of the two cousins and certainly the better dressed one, keeps rather well to his namesake—the swan.
According to mbti typing, Signus is an INFP-T. Signus spent most of his early life rather friendless, and as such developed his imaginary friend Terry to keep him company. While Signus has an outwardly friendly and positive attitude on life, at his core, he is rather insecure and seeks validation where it may not be necessary.
Signus primarily 'hangs out' with Sam due to her adamant nature, providing him with a rather stable base and friendship—a rather lacking element in his early life. While the two are opposites, they occasionally agree on some courses of action when it appears time to 'get things done'. Truthfully, it is this opposition that makes them great as a pairing. Signus lacks strong action, and Sam is there to provide it for him.
Terry, Signus's fostering but occasionally cynical imaginary friend developed due to Cygnus's need for strong role models and guidance in life.
------------
Signus's personal motivation for dispelling the convergences is primarily his need to improve the living situations in others, as he seeks personal growth in ensuring that the multiverse doesn't become spaghettified.
------------
Signus's Preferred aesthetic is primarily smart-casual clothing, an OCBD, and Clark's Desert Boots. He takes pride in an Americana style and enjoys "the [updated] classics" as shown in his choice of weapon, the Marlin 1895 SBL.

Fast Facts
Name: Signus Santiago
Age: 16
Height: 5'8
Hair: Black, Short Spiked
Nationality: Filipino-American (Half Caucasian, Half Asian)
Preferred Weapon: Marlin 1895 SBL
MBTI Type: INFP-T
(The coin refers to the compacted weapons that the heroes carry. While stowed as a coin, flipping it "with a height greater than two feet" will turn it into a weaponized form.)
Signus: [Stepping out into an RPG universe] Wow! A real, living, breathing, fantasy village. It’s like we’re really in the middle of some high adventure tale.
Sam: [Reasoning] Well, since we’re not exactly living in refined times, I think it’s about time for some open carry!
Signus: Isn’t it more practical just to keep it in compact form? Carry a coin or carry a 9 pound gun. Pick one.
Sam: Signus, you can never be over-encumbered with style. It’s fantasy. live a little.
~Flip~
~Catching Sound~
Signus: Right.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sam:[Burdened] Okay after about five minutes, I get the point.
(This refers to when the cousins are being chased by a rather large fantasy monster, in order to destroy a building using the beast)
Signus: [Confused] Aren’t there better things to be talking about besides dinner! We’re about to become lunch!!!
Sam and Terry: No?
__________________________
(Signus puts a fair amount of pride in his clothing choice. After being demoralized by a carnival worker, he reaches a rather low point, becoming hypercritical of himself.)
Sig: What was I thinking… The guy’s right. [Beat] What am I even doing here? I need to change. [Broken] And I think I’m gonna go get changed.

Voice Actor
Samantha "Sam" Lowe
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
lafgl
Sam-Not-Samantha Lowe, the rough, fiery, utilitiarian younger cousin.
According to mbti typing, Sam is an ESFP-A. Rather than being indecisive like her cousin, Sam generally prefers to act first and think about her consequences later. As the more assertive of the two cousins, Sam often finds herself biting off more than she can chew—thanks to the "Almost Immortal" condition, this often isn't a problem. The repercussions of decision without large consequence is shown rather evidently in Sam, where the ability to die and remake your decisions is abused rather largely. Truthfully, Sam only acts assertive as she feels that she can't be heard any other way. Rather than having a more passive personality, she actively attempts to be as forceful as possible, fearing that she won't get her point across otherwise. Sam takes rather large amounts of pride in her newfound ability to carry weapons freely, far more than Signus.
Samantha primarily spends her time with her cousin Signus due to him being a rather present figure in her early childhood. With Signus, she feels that she is being heard and enjoys his different approach to problem solving. In a way, the cousins make up for each other's weaknesses. Where Sam lacks in gentle persuasion, she makes up for in willpower and action.
Sam's initial relationship with Terry, while rocky at first, eventually grew to be something more of an understanding one. Once the cousins became subconsciously linked, allowing Sam to perceive Signus's imaginary friend, she realized that Terry provided the mentorship and positive role modeling for Signus, helping him overcome his insecurities. Sam learns that her older cousin wasn't perfect. She, too, realized the need to be a support for Signus when things got bad.
------------
Sam's preferred aesthetic is utilitarian function. While she may not have the stylish woos of Signus, she certainly makes up for it in her many, many pockets on her trademark M65 field jacket. This is also evidenced in her preferred weapon, the Mossberg 590A1. Rather than Signus's stylish but outdated lever action rifle, she prefers the strong, reliable sound of a pump action shotgun. Dirt, grime, or dust, it'll still throw lead downrange, almost regardless of the conditions.

Crew: Oh, no. We are just skipping to the dying part. Perhaps you could resist a bit more? You are really becoming a top shelf item.
Sam: [Enraged] Oh man! Maybe you’re not gonna get it, but once you kill me and my consciousness goes to the next universe down, I’m gonna turn your brains into the next great piece of modern art!
(referring to the extraterrestrial aliens)
Sam: I think it’s ‘bout time we showed those aliens a bit’a 12 gauge, American hospitality.
Sam: [Realizing under breath] No racism intended.
Signus: [Aside] That still sounded incredibly racist

Voice Actor
Terry Avery
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
CasualSlenderman
Terry is Signus's imaginary friend and a brown eagle. Most importantly, however, he provides the perfect balance of mentorship and cynicism.
Created by Signus at a fairly early age, Terry provided the idea of a role model and mentor when Signus didn't have one. Due to his "imaginary" nature, while the cousins roam out and sever the universal convergences, Terry primarily stays in the "Graveyard" (the pocket dimension outside of death) and functions as a Quartermaster, a researcher, and, truthfully, as an exposition provider.
Terry will often have a few sage words for Signus here or there, and will often remind him what is truly at stake, laying down the task at hand. While initially, his relationship with Sam is rocky, they eventually learn to find common ground in their often blunt approach to things, and may take shared joy in mildly heinous actions, such as making a mobile gamer ragequit.
------------
Fast Facts
Name: Terry Avery
MBTI Type: ISTJ
[Referring to getting a mobile gamer to ragequit]
Terry: You don’t break the body…
Sam: You break the spirit.
Signus: Are you really going to terrorize an elementary school kid?
Terry: You can justify a lot if it means saving the universe. We get that kid to quit, and once he deletes his account, we’ll trigger another retcon! Besides, that kid needs to learn some manners.
Signus: [Flatly, with sarcasm] For the universe, yayyyy….
Terry: I believe Sam just performed remedial retcon. By ridding that guy’s invasive consciousness in this universe, you just undid the all the actions he’s ever taken in it, including the fifteen cardboard boxes of human table seasoning. You ever so slightly severed these two universes.
Sam: By shooting him?
Terry: By shooting him. Can you do it again?
---------------------Terry: (Echoed) I’m gonna be frank, Signus. Either start shooting the bastards or every single lifeform in both of these universes is gonna turn into strands of cosmic spaghetti.

The primary antagonists of episode one, these deceptive "Carnival Workers" lure humans into attractions, only to turn them into seasoning into what may be known as "The Universe's Worst Practical Joke".
Strangely (and due to reasons of casting) these aliens all appear to have the same voice and cannot use contractions. Charismatic, sinister, and possibly insulting, this role must be able to take on multiple facade. You are a human disintegrating alien, after all.
Crew: Why hello there, young teenagers. Welcome to the carnival!
Signus: Just, “The Carnival”?
Crew: Just “The Carnival”
Sam: No alliteration like, the Harvest Hoedown or The Bailey Brothers or anything? Huh.
Crew: [Repeating sternly but calmly] Just “The Carnival”
Signus: [Deescalating] *Nervous Laugh* Well, anyways. We’ll be right along Mr.— Uh....Mister Crew Member? No name?
Crew: [Very Stern] Just “The-”[Realizing] Indeed, no name. You may simply call us crew members. Thank you kids for visiting!
Crew: [Maniacal] I do not think that’s quite possible, miss. I will “take a knee” to say it to you: [Beat] You will make a fine product once converted. I can attest that our customers find the recordings especially satisfying when they see their product struggle.
Though truthfully, there is no real need to move any arms or legs. That will prove futile.
---Crew: I truly have no time for over-dressed, over-privileged children over-stepping their boundaries, but for you, I will make an exception. The thing is, kid, the names of my crew members are just as important as your existence to me. You have 5 seconds. Get lost kid.
[Talking with dying breath]
Crew: But where do you draw the line? Because they cannot talk? Because they do not have advanced society? Take it from my dying breath: You humans will never get anywhere in this universe until you realize that it is only savagery out there. To make ends meet, someone’s gotta suffer. If you want to make any real difference out there, then you must Kill. OR.—
[This character is consequently killed by Sam]
