Altahest - A furry RPG
Project Overview
Altahest is a furry rpg, featuring anthropomorphic characters (consider this a short description of the community that this game is mainly targeted towards as well as a warning if you don't like that fact.) Updates on this project will mainly be posted on furry websites, but know that this game will feature no NSFW/18+ content and will be SFW. In addition, updates for this game will also be published on a Youtube channel, made specifically for this project.
All art of the characters are placeholders for now, but will be updated over the span of the next two months, with the final designs being really close to the placeholders. The game is being built on a bit of a shoestring budget, with no plans for commercial release as of yet, so the voice acting budget is a little low (at $20 per 30 minutes of recorded character dialogue). If we do decide to go for a commercial release or decide to crowdfund the game in the future, this budget will rise accordingly and I will discuss any royalties per unit sold with you before I include your work. If we can't come to an agreement and you decide that you don't want your voice included in the final commercial release as a result, I will respectfully abide by your decision and remove your lines from the finished product.

A retired knight, who suddenly gets forced into a life of adventure again at the behest of his town's mayor to save a young princess from a dark, undeserved fate.
-And so you thought it would be a good idea to hole her up in the old passageway... The same passageway that hasn't been cleared of monsters since god knows when. Let me ask you a question. Do you even have the slightest shred of intelligence left in you? Because I'm THIS close to bashing that empty skull of yours in to check if there's any signs of an actual brain slumbering in there.
I'd tell you where you can stick your quest, but it'd hardly be worth the effort. Besides, I've retired from the adventuring life. Whatever happens to the lady is none of my concern.
(on death's door) So- *huff* This is- *huff* -where my advent- *cough* -ture ends, huh *huff* Damn... It all... To... Hell...
Amanda is a mage, who's only joy in live is to study the arcane magics that fuel her spells. She is somewhat of a loner and a silent type, who prefers to be alone. She tags along on Shenzo's adventure when she finds out that his travels might take him to ancient ruins, which might house old forgotten texts on the subject of magic.
(again, you can dig inside your barrel of voices and pick something to see what sticks!)
(saving Shenzo from his total demise) Death loathes my presence. For I steal the very souls that it's burdened to ferry across the river... Hear my voice. Let it guide you back to the shores of the living... Feel the warmth of my healing touch embrace you in your cold slumber... Let this power be your guiding beacon out of this dark maze of boundless sorrow...
My only hobby consists of unraveling the arcane. Nothing fills me with joy as much as understanding the intricacies behind the concept of magic. To understand magic is to understand life itself. And if your travels take you across vast deserts, seas and the occasional ancient ruin or library, then my only wish is to accompany you in your travels. That's how you can truly repay me.
What a brutish way of fighting... Fierce, barbaric, but... Strangely elegant at the same time. Tell me, what's the secret to your movements? It feels as though you channel something akin to magic when you trade blows with an enemy, but I can't make a clear distinction on whether you're using pure force or silent incantations to multiply the force of your attacks... You really are a strange enigma.
Venker is the fighter of the group. She has a short fuse and foregoes any conventional weaponry in favor of hitting the things she doesn't like. Her reason for tagging along is rather simple in that she's bored.
(feel free to come up with your own voice for her!)
(replying to Amanda's question) An enig-what??? I don't know whether I should feel insulted or flattered. And I honestly don't know. Don't ask me to get into the specifics of my fighting style. All I know is that I hit the people and things I don't like and my punches tend to hit hard when I mean it and it feels super satisfying. Who needs weapons when you can hear your foe's skull crack with a swing of a good ol' fist? I find it kinda therapeutic.
I used to travel a bit back in the day. Now THOSE were the good times, where I wasn't constrained to this dumpy old village. But hey, once the jobs dried up, I had no choice but to settle down and find a regular old job. A girl's gotta eat, y'know? But now that I've finally been fired from my job, I can join you guys on your little adventure. Oh, and that's a demand, not a request. I WILL be traveling with you two from now on. So we'd best get acquainted!
Y-you're an absolute maniac! Flinging destructive spells around like it's nothing, making entire building go up in flames with a simple flick of your staff. Like hell we'll let you accompany us!
An hyperactive, unpredictable ball of energy. Michelle is the total opposite of Amanda. Amanda's spells are balanced and she respects the arcane arts to the point of wanting to study it, whereas Michelle couldn't give two shits about how the arcane works, but yet has an unnaturally large reserve of magic to spend on the mightiest of destructive spells. A fact which she relishes with the utmost glee. Her motivation for joining the group is to blow stuff up.
(have fun finding a voice for her!)
Hee, hee, hee! A maniac? Why, I quite like that title! And c'mon, those bandits clearly had it coming. Oh, the looks on their faces as one of their own lit up like a candle! Priceless! PRICELESS, I tell you!
Pfeh-! Arcane arts, arcane farts (said mockingly). I don't know the first thing about how magic works, lady. I just know that I have the power to make things go BOOM and I fully intend to develop my destructive capabilities to a point where I'll be called the world's mightiest chaos mage!
Do you need me to blow up their hideout, Shenzo? Make a barrage of fire arrows rain down on their poor little heads? PLEASE, JUST LET ME DO SOMETHING! All this sneaking around is killing me. I need to torch some baddies!
