Black Market Brawl: Movement III - Sui Generis
Project Overview
Deep underground in a hidden marketplace, dozens of the most ruthless, cold-hearted, and dangerous individuals to ever set foot in the Kingdom of Symphony are called to action. To edify mischief, to inspire vice, to propagate malice… for whatever reason, dozens of individuals have traveled to the underground trading city of the Din, eager to participate in the newly arranged Black Market Brawl.
Some, however, come with different motives.
Some are even victims of circumstance.
Black Market Brawl is an audio drama project, and a production for the Black Market Brawl OCT contest. Here is the introductory comic for the event itself. (No, I did not draw it, the comic is the work of the hosts/judges and their affiliates.)
This series follows a mysterious pyromancer called Chanté entering the underground city of the Din so that he may carry out a mission for the good of the world. By chance, he encounters a sweet little girl called Seon-a who is in the possession of The Diabology, a dangerous book of incredible power. Now he must protect her from the evils of the book while searching for his target, but can he really do that when many of the people around them are so hellbent on killing him?
Each episode of this series will be publicly posted on YouTube.
IMPORTANT!
This is an UNPAID casting call.
Please make sure the audio uploaded is a mono WAV file! It will be much more convenient if you can leave 3~5 seconds of space between each audition segment for the character.
You are free to audition for more than one role—in fact, for minor and extra roles especially, this is highly encouraged, as this increases your chances of being directly contacted for a more prominent role in a later episode.
Some of the lines you are auditioning for may not be lines that will appear within this episode.
While not required, it is preferable that you have a Discord account for voice chatting purposes. Some sections of the script may require rehearsal with others.
Auditions for this episode close at the end of SEPTEMBER 15TH EST.
This episode's cast will be finalized and the script will be distributed immediately afterwards. Tapes for the episode are expected by the end of September 21 EST.

Hello. I know you've all been waiting much longer than you should've. I just like to apologize for the terribly long radio silence. To sum it up, there has been some drama regarding the event that this project is for. I hesitate to go into details because of the amount of anger this incident still brings me, but this on top of a lot of other personal matters had forced me to leave this on the back burner for a bit. This project has NOT been cancelled. I assure you, I have heard all your tapes and I only have a few other decisions to settle on both in terms of casting and story amendment. There has been a lot of unsavory things happening behind the scenes, and I am terribly sorry for this delay. Thank you for understanding.

Deadline Postponed Due to Actor Shortage
Hey, everyone! I know the subject of the update already explains the main issue, but I think I should describe it in a little more detail. We don't have enough auditions to fill up all of these roles, mostly lacking FEMALE voices, so if anybody has any female friends who might be interested, I'd highly appreciate it if you can seek them out. I'm not sure this casting call can afford another deadline delay if this doesn't get filled up enough by the new due date. I really don't want to keep everyone waiting for too long. Thanks for sticking around! -
Deadline Has Been Postponed to Sep. 10th!
Hey! Just letting you know there's been a change in plans. The original plan was to try to have an episode successfully out by the 11th but I am… HORRIBLY sick right now. Fever, migraines, sight blanking out every now and then. I think I'll be okay, but I can't reasonably expect myself to stick to the original schedule when I'm going through all this. Everyone who's auditioned so far, I've heard your stuff and commented, but feel free to try other roles or pull in more people who might be interested--I still need all the help I can get! Thank you all so much for understanding!
Mid-30s. A woman of the Cubitian race, a society of people who would be no different from humans if not for one startlingly clear aspect: their diminutive size. The tallest a Cubitian can get is 23 centimeters/9 inches. (Achilles Breaker herself is 18 cm/7 in. in height.) The Cubitians live in holes and crevices away from the eyes of "giants", the Din being the only realm that they can call home. Among them is the war hero Achilles Breaker, dubbed so for her besting a human in combat by severing the Achilles tendon.
Despite her fame and glory, this veteran seeks more—for far too long have the Cubitians been suffering from poverty and fear due to the far larger folk that dominate the black market city. Once she slays the Butcher of Cowards with her people's most powerful weapon, the Cubitians shall assume sovereignty of the Din, and she will fight with blade and brain until this goal can be attained. If it means her wish can come true, there is no cost too great for her to pay.
Yet.
Note from Achilles's creator: While her voice is deep with hard-bitten undertones, it should not be mistakable for a man's.
While you may not be the focus of later episodes, your presence will be a RECURRENT one.
(grimly)
What I'm saying is that you don't sound like you have what it takes. This is war, whether you'd like to see it that way or not. If you REALLY want to survive or protect, pull yourself together.
(in a serious and subdued conversation)
You've killed before, haven't you?
(calm triumph steadily gaining energy)
Heh… Had enough yet? There's more where that came from, if you sick fucks want a look.
17 years old. A human boy with the power to discharge electricity from his fingers. Having been sheltered and reliant on his brother his whole life, Electro was ill-prepared for the dangers wandering throughout the Din. After being fortuitously saved by Achilles Breaker, he has resolved to become her apprentice so that he may learn strength and bravery himself. With his newly acquired rapier and prosthetic nose, he's ready to impress his new mentor! …While she struggles to maintain some emotional distance.
He's got some ways to go, but bless him, he's trying.
While you may not be the focus of later episodes, your presence will be a RECURRENT one.
(proudly)
SHE'S Achilles Breaker, and I'M Circuit Breaker! And together, we're… THE BREAKERS!
(answering a question)
Actually, I lost it to an—um… I'm not sure WHAT it was. Some vampire… flying… nose thing? Uhh, long story.
(nervous but with bravado)
I-it's okay! We'll… we'll make it out of this safely! I promise!
A devil from within The Diabology, who makes himself known after the right terms call upon him. An entity of violent tendencies, he would do most anything to avenge Seon-a and his own ilk from slights and threats.
You may not have many lines per episode, but you are listed as "Supporting" instead of "Minor" due to your role and presence in the overall story.
(utterly resolute)
Come heavens or deep shade, I've made my vows. I'LL NOT BREAK THEM!
(stunned)
You'll not deliver any consequence for this, my lord? But we… we've failed you.
(with deep-seated rage)
That vexatious, valueless INFIDEL! URGH, how I cannot WAIT to close my jaws around his bones!
A devil from within The Diabology, who makes herself known after the right terms call upon her. Seemingly a kind soul, supposedly in contrast to expectations (what with her being a devil and all), she's mainly concerned with keeping hearts at peace.
You may not have many lines per episode, but you are listed as "Supporting" instead of "Minor" due to your role and presence in the overall story.
(encouraging)
Chin up, dear! You are not guilty or weak just yet.
(offering comfort)
Oh, Seon-a… you KNOW you'll always be our sweet little baby girl.
(with reluctance)
If it's all the same to you, I'd rather we don't do anything THAT drastic.
A devil from within The Diabology, who makes himself known after the right terms call upon him. He's often an impulsive troublemaker, but that does make him a fun companion… when he's not proposing terrible ideas for amusement.
You may not have many lines per episode, but you are listed as "Supporting" instead of "Minor" due to your role and presence in the overall story.
(puzzled)
Iiiiiiiiis anybody else getting hard-boiled egg vibes from her? No…? Just me? Okay.
(complaining in a mild panic)
And you couldn't have told me that before I went ahead and told them to—?! By gods, we have to get a move on!
(in jest)
Oh, MAJOR bullshit. He's as good as DEAD!
A devil from within The Diabology, who makes herself known after the right terms call upon her. One of the devils that care about keeping her deals fair, she takes it upon herself to clarify any of Seon-a's intellectual uncertainties.
You may not have many lines per episode, but you are listed as "Supporting" instead of "Minor" due to your role and presence in the overall story.
This role is being RECAST. Therefore, if you are cast, you will be recording for the previous episode as well after this one. The audition lines you see are not lines you will be reading for Sui Generis.
(explaining her observations)
There is a magical aura infused deep into the walls of this entire establishment. To be precise, we are inside the boundaries of an aura of ORDER. It doesn’t encompass every aspect of this complex—given the vices here, I imagine it isn’t meant to. But there’s no mistaking it. This spell has been constructed similarly to our means of contract bestowal. Every gamble made within these walls is sure to be heard by the aura, and it’ll react according to the outcomes. Theoretically, we can unravel it… but this spell is at least a decade old. Undoing this work would be tedious.
(seriously)
A favor includes a give and a take. Are you willing to give?
(Please record a laugh that teeters between typical calm amusement and potentially villainous triumph.)
A devil from within The Diabology, who makes himself known after the right terms call upon him. Boastful, he takes charge when it's clear Seon-a's superiority—whatever constitutes as that—is being threatened.

(offended as hell)
PREPOSTEROUS! They believe they even deserve that right?!
(nonchalantly)
Hmph. A small part of me is almost disappointed. Then again, we are only contesting the wits and weal of mortals.
(Please record a laugh that teeters between gleeful excited amusement and potentially villainous triumph.)
A devil from within The Diabology, who makes herself known after the right terms call upon her. Unflinching and unyielding in the face of pressure and conflict, she serves as Seon-a's primary line of defense for a reason.
You may not have many lines per episode, but you are listed as "Supporting" instead of "Minor" due to your role and presence in the overall story.
(smugly)
Remember us?
(musing aloud)
Either none of the others have any idea, or they're going against their own judgment willfully…
(with cool confidence)
And stand strong we shall, for her.
A devil from within The Diabology, who makes himself known after the right terms call upon him. There is always something oddly alluring and admirable about this fellow, and he uses that to his and Seon-a's advantage.
You may not have many lines per episode, but you are listed as "Supporting" instead of "Minor" due to your role and presence in the overall story.
(mildly amused)
And that is what we like to call a swing and a miss.
(flatteringly)
Surely you could afford to do more than that for us~? Someone of your worth doesn't have that much to lose from this after all… wouldn't you agree?
(reassuring)
Honey, you're overthinking this! We aren't the type to let ourselves miss opportunities.
A street vendor at a wet market selling shawarma. They bear witness to an odd reconciliation.
Young adult, middle age, OR senior works fine.
(a little perplexed and surprised)
You're… looking a lot less worse than I thought you would if I saw you again.
(as an afterthought)
Dondurma's down that way if you want to give it a go.
Auditors and guards working at the House of Scales, where all manner of pleasure can be found. They receive to the House visitors they do not expect to have… and one of these guests knows their superior, the Vassal of Coin, more than any outsider should.
We need 2 Golden Hands. Young adult OR middle age works fine.
(without malice or kindness)
Even if you're here for a good reason, unless you head to the Seven Tenet Auction House, I'm afraid you won't find anyone here to do business with directly.
(stunned)
Wh… what did you just say…?
