Each episode will be 5-7 minutes each. Most roles will be paid $2 per line, via PayPal or Venmo, any roles that are unpaid have few lines and are noted clearly. All actors will also be credited at the end of the episode, on our website, and in the episode description. Go to www.talesofnyxia.com to find out more about us.

Latest Updates

  • This Project Is On Hiatus

    Hi folks,

    I have disappointing news for you all today. I was self funding this project and because of various life changes and other things I won’t get into, I simply don’t have the budget to make Golden Nights happen at this time. I appreciate you all for submitting an audition, there was so much talent here and I absolutely hate to waste people’s time. But I also don’t want to make a compromised project or be in the position where I can’t pay people fairly for the work they do for a project like this. This is not a goodbye, it’s a see you later. I do intend to make this thing happen, whether it’s a year or maybe a few years from now. But I can’t make it now, and I apologize for wasting your time. I wish you the best of luck for your future roles!

    May your memories remain yours tonight,

    Arjin

    Director of Tales of Nyxia Productions

  • Deadline Extended, New Roles Added

    Hey folks,

    Thank you to the over 800 people who have submitted an audition to my little project, that is frankly insane! I and my producer are currently going through these auditions and choosing who to cast, so please be patient with us.

    I've extended the deadline to Monday, February 24 but will begin casting people before then. There are also two new roles. We need multiple writers for the project as well as an audio mixer/editor. Each are paid roles once again, so apply if interested!

    Best regards,

    Arjin Roe

    Founder & Director of Tales of Nyxia Productions

  • Added Info for Mara Kettridge

    Hi folks,

    Thank you to everyone who has submitted an audition already, it's only been 2 days and we have over a 100!

    It seems I didn't put any information or demo lines for the role of Mara Kettridge, which I apologize for. I just added them. If you have already auditioned for the role, can you re-audition with the added context?

    I've checked over everything else and there should be no other missing info, but please DM if you have any questions.

    May your memories remain yours tonight,

    Arjin Roe

    Founder & Director of Tales of Nyxia Productions

Paid: Hourly 30 USD

SUMMARY: A charismatic enigma, the clever and calculating Echo is a rival thief to Vox Memorius. Always frustratingly agreeable, they present a carefully crafted, fake persona that seems too good to be true—because it is. Beneath their charm however lies an unscrupulous thief secretly working for the evil Luminary corporation.


WHERE THEY SHOW UP: In episode 1 the trio are forced to work with them, and hijinks ensue. Echo will be a reoccurring character in this show and act almost as a foil to Silver and Ilya.


LINES:

ECHO: So...here's the plan and here's our target. Thomas Millwick. 49 years old, male, and completely unguarded. Should be rather simple. Get in, grab the memory, get out.

---

ECHO: It's been fun. A shame I've been ordered to cut you loose.

ROLE: Heist Target for Episode 1

SUMMARY: For this role, we want a pompous and haughty type of performance. This CEO is a citizen of the upper class Lunis enclave, so make sure to show that in the performance. This character is in his 40s.

LINES

MILLWICK: So Luminary put you up to this, huh? I'm not surprised, they are always trying to remove their competitors from the market. But you won't find it so easy to kill me.

--

MILLWICK: Preposterous. Simply preposterous. You can’t steal a memory!

--

MILLWICK: Luminary is nothing but a bag of tricks, a glorified light show. A shame no one seems to see it.

Paid: Flat Rate 30 USD
cast offsite

CHARACTER SUMMARY:

Marcus Halfren is a dangerously obsessive and possessive ex-husband who has been relentlessly stalking Clara Elise, unable to let her go. His fixation on her drives Clara to hire Vox Memorius to steal his memory of her, an act that not only challenges the trio’s moral boundaries but also reveals the disturbing consequences of tampering with a core memory.


PERFORMANCE:

Marcus is delusional and creepy, but perfectly sane. He's charmingly obsessive, so definitely show that in your performance. 


LINES:

MARCUS: She doesn’t understand—we belong together. No one else can love her the way I do, no one else knows her like I do.

--

MARCUS: I'm just a man worrying about the woman he loves. Is that so wrong?

--

MARCUS: Clara's always loved roses. I still leave them for her, everywhere she goes. So she knows that I'm always with her...when she needs me.

CHARACTER SUMMARY:

Clara Elise is a wealthy woman desperate to escape the obsessive grip of her husband, Marcus Halfren, from whom she is separated from. Struggling to reclaim her life, she turns to Vox Memorius to erase Marcus’s memory of her, a bold act that forces the trio to weigh the moral and emotional consequences of altering someone’s core memories.


PERFORMANCE:

Clara is a middle aged woman. Show her desperation but also her warmth.


LINES:

CLARA: He wasn’t always like this, you know. Years ago, he was kind, had a good heart—I knew he cared for me. But that man is long gone, and in his place… is a monster.

--

ILYA: You know, you don't have to do all this. You could just divorce him.

CLARA: You really think I haven’t tried? He didn't accept it, and it only made things worse. He won’t stop—not unless he forgets my face.

--

CLARA: Thank you. You have given me a fresh start. I don't have to worry about him any more. Take this, you more than deserve it. And call upon me again if you ever need a favor.

CHARACTER SUMMARY:

Katori Marie Wilden, born in 1903/214 ANB in Nox Aeterna’s Efryn District, is a young determined and resourceful investigator whose life was forever changed by the tragic death of her brother, Rylin, at the hands of the Dogs of Maura. Driven by a desire for justice, Kat’s relentless pursuit of the truth brought her to the attention of Serin Evengard, a skilled investigator who mentored her and made her his deputy, shaping her into a respected force in the city. Known for her sharp instincts and unwavering resolve, Kat also shares a close friendship with Silver Aravind, a memory thief whose secret she guards. She occasionally enlists Silver’s unique abilities to uncover leads in her cases, trusting him to help navigate the murky underbelly of Nox Aeterna in pursuit of justice and order.


PERFORMANCE:

Kat is 19 years old in this series, so try to convey her naive optimism and warmth. She's a lot of fun, and is always up for a drink. Despite her rough exterior, she has a good heart.


LINES:

KAT: Silver, I need you to do what you do best. There’s a name tied to this case, but they won’t talk—not to me, anyway. Can you take a peek in their mind and see what they’re hiding?

--

KAT: You know, for a guy who steals memories, you’re pretty bad at remembering to stay out of trouble.

[E3 Heist Target] - Mara Kettridge

Paid: Flat Rate 30 USD
cast offsite

CHARACTER SUMMARY:

Mara Kettridge is a casual follower of Shroud’s Sun Truther movement who unexpectedly becomes a target of his twisted belief in “ascension,” narrowly escaping with her life. Now a key person of interest, her knowledge of the movement makes her an essential yet wary participant in Kat and Vox Memorius’ mission to uncover the truth.


PERFORMANCE
Mara is in her 20s with a wary feminine voice. Try to show her recently shattered devotion to Shroud's religious movement in your performance.


DEMO LINES:

MARA: He tried to kill me. Nearly did. Perhaps I was saved by an act of God, but certainly not the one he serves. Ironic, isn't it?


--

MARA: There is no paradise. No sun. It's not real. Death does not bring you to the green fields of Elysium, only to a blood soaked void. He serves no god other than his delusions of grandeur. I only wish I didn't have to taste his blade to understand.


--

MARA: You have to protect me. That...maniac. He's convinced I need to be saved.

CHARACTER SUMMARY:

Shroud is the enigmatic and fanatical leader of the secretive Sun Truther movement, a group devoted to the belief that the sun is real and that it’s possible to escape the eternal night of Nox Aeterna. Convinced he has been "blessed" by the goddess Sol to determine who is worthy to ascend to the paradise of The World Beyond, Shroud has taken it upon himself to act as judge and executioner, killing those he deems deserving. Charismatic and chilling, his actions remain shrouded in secrecy until Kat and Vox Memorius expose the horrifying truth behind his twisted mission. A dangerous zealot, Shroud’s warped convictions make him a formidable and unpredictable adversary.


PERFORMANCE:

This is a very dark character, think someone along the lines of a serial murderer. Make sure to convey that darkness and their twisted mind. This character will return in a future episode as well.


LINES:

SHROUD: Do not be afraid, you have been chosen to walk the path to The World Beyond.

MARA: W-what are you talking about?

He brandishes a ceremonial sword, the blade glinting in the moonlight.

SHROUD: For you, the sun will soon rise again. It will only take but a moment, child, so set your mind at peace.

He raises it to the quivering Mara.

SHROUD: For only in death, can you return to the light!

--

SHROUD: Kneel before the might of Sol. And you will perhaps be saved.

--

SHROUD: I am her emissary—Sol's Shroud—charged with delivering the people from eternal darkness. In me, a candle burns; in me, a spark ignites. The night recoils, the moon averts its gaze. Paradise is forbidden to me, but I guide others to a fruit my tongue will never taste.

[Series Antagonist] Lucian Cainwright
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 30 USD
cast offsite

CHARACTER BIO:

Lucius Cainwright, the only non-Alwyn CEO in Luminary's history, was a visionary leader who transformed the company from a hydroponics pioneer into a technological powerhouse. Appointed in 1901 after a board rebellion, he was instrumental in establishing Luminary as an industry leader, but his ambition came at a cost. By 1925, a series of scandals brought his tenure to a disgraceful end, paving the way for the young and ambitious Oscar Alwyn to succeed him. As the main antagonist of the show, Cainwright’s ruthless ambition, cunning intellect, and willingness to manipulate those around him make him a formidable and dangerous opponent. His legacy, both of innovation and corruption, looms large over Luminary and its future.


PERFORMANCE:

For this character, he is in his 60s, so we want a slightly older masculine performance that's almost regal perhaps. An English or American accent will be great here, feel free to take your own interpretation of the character. A deeper voice could be great as well, just make sure to show his villainry (is that a word) in your performance. 


LINES:

CAINWRIGHT: Defy me again, and I’ll remind you why Luminary answers to me, not the other way around.


CAINWRIGHT: This Vox Memorius trio is getting to be a problem, they've been getting too comfortable with our secrets. Kessler, deal with them in whatever manner you deem fit.


CAINWRIGHT (to Oscar Alwyn): Without me, Luminary would have fallen into ruination years before, boy. You Alwyn's may have sparked the company, but it is I who is writing our future.

[E4 Heist Client] Kessler Voss (Reoccurring)

Paid: Flat Rate 30 USD
cast offsite

CHARACTER SUMMARY:

Kessler Voss, a shrewd and polished Luminary Public Representative, is the kind of man who thrives on carefully managed appearances and subtle manipulation. Acting as a liaison between Luminary and the outside world, he hires Vox Memorius to carry out a high-stakes memory heist targeting Adam Romovick, a former employee harboring critical information. Voss is calculated, charasimatic, and persuasive, knowing exactly how to entice the trio by dangling the opportunity for both financial gain and professional notoriety. Though outwardly professional and friendly, his allegiance to Luminary and its shadowy ambitions make him a dangerous player in the game, willing to bend or break rules to achieve his goals.


PERFORMANCE:

Kessler is a 31 year old man who is both warm but extremely ambitious. In your performance, please show that ambition but also his charisma. Any accent works here, surprise us and be unique!


LINES:

KESSLER: I’m not asking you to do anything you’re not already the best at. Think of this as an opportunity to showcase your talents… and walk away significantly richer.

--

CAINWRIGHT: So, how did they shape up, Kessler?

KESSLER: They impressed me, Mr. Cainwright. Those three will be exactly what you need.

--

KESSLER: Sorry darling, it's just business. A shame; you three could have owned this city had you just played along.

[E4 Heist Target] Adam Romovick/Anna Romovick

Paid: Flat Rate 30 USD

CHARACTER SUMMARY:
Adam/Anna Romovick is a former Luminary employee turned rogue, harboring a memory so valuable that it draws the attention of both their old employers and the infamous memory thieves, Vox Memorius. Once a brilliant and trusted mind within Luminary, their departure from the company suggests deeper secrets and unresolved tensions. Guarded and resourceful, they are aware of the danger their knowledge brings and the lengths Luminary will go to retrieve it. Their memory holds the key to something powerful, making him both a target and a wildcard in the high-stakes world of memory heists.


PERFORMANCE:

Both feminine and masculine voices could work for this character. Adam/Anna is in their early 30s, and is brilliant and eccentric. Any accent works here, surprise us!


LINES:

SILVER: Look, just work with us here. We take that memory, and you'll be free of Luminary forever.


Adam/Anna sighs.

ADAM/ANNA: I didn’t leave Luminary because I wanted to. I left because I had to. If you knew what they’re really hiding, you’d run too.


--

ADAM/ANNA: You know, the irony is delicious—Luminary called me a liability, yet here they are, desperate to reclaim my ‘dangerous’ brilliance."

--

ADAM/ANNA: Wow, the quality of Luminary's enforcers has really gone since I left.
