BRUGMANSIA
Project Overview
Brugmansia itself is a project I've been working on for 2 or so years, that has only recently been put into motion since September, and will end in late November. Stemming from an interactive 'Roblox Myth'-esc experience, any and all voice lines recorded and used would be utilized in future games telling the story of Haruka Haile. The "guide" of four vessels giving their lives to the 'Heavenly Mother', in exchange for the freedom of a lower, but demanding deity—the Gnathael—convinced a better afterlife awaits them with open arms.
It touches on varying, though hefty subjects, which are but not limited to religious psychosis, mental health, addiction, abuse, and death. Mostly a small passion project diligently followed by a couple of what's known on the platform as "myth hunters."
Discord will be used for majority of communication with minimal exceptions. Any and all questions regarding the story, work itself or characters will be happily answered. Pay is not negotiable; I am unable to compensate any work including my own. The games do not generate any revenue.
Student council president and frontrunner of his school's track team, Haile is—actually, was the image of exceptionality, a stoic over-achiever with what he could only describe as a "bright future ahead of him." A charming, albeit emotionally inept stickler for the rules, whose ambition to settle for nothing but perfection begins to shift after meeting two "angels"; his eventual lover, Kaito Uchida, and a more literal angel; the Gnathael. Behind his picture perfect composure lies a variety of self-inflicted burdens, nonetheless. Not only does Haile struggle with addiction, but a passive suicidality feeding into the down spiral of his psyche.
With promises of not only a better world at the hands of his end, but unconditional, divine acceptance, Haile has begun to throw himself into the Gnathael's reign, allowing for her words and surrounding religion to guide him to his inevitable end. As a result of "reviving" the Mother's long dead title, Haile was gifted a most bizarre ability; to explore other worlds and dimensions through his dreams.
Haile is basically the most prominent vessel of the four chosen, serving as a sort of 'guide' towards their end. As time goes on, Haile will slowly delve further and further into religious psychosis, and harms his loved ones and followers in the process of achieving a better world.
Other than having a masculine voice, one of my only requirements in terms of how he should sound is that his emotional range should be incredibly flexible, considering how important of a role he plays and how intense his spiral becomes. Nonetheless, Haile is still a teenager, and to some extent, I'd like for him to sound like one. Mania, anger, exhaustion, affection, as well as a default monotonous voice; a semi-decent microphone is preferable, one that can pick up yelling, whispering and normal volumes with ease. Bonus points for not picking up background noise.

"You may refer to me as Haruka. Haruka Haile."
"If only you could've seen him. He really did look like an angel."
"Fine then, so be it. I'll become someone different entirely."
The erratic, sly Goddess of wisdom and decay, who after attempting to overthrow the 'Heavenly Mother', was imprisoned within the internet as a means of divine punishment. Her only means of escape? Feeding off of the negative energy and suffering of those online, and using said energy to gather four vessels as offerings to the Mother. Only then would she be free, and returned to her righteous place among the Heavens.
A striking presence who relies on both the intrigue of her existence and promises of a better, peaceful afterlife to get her way. And if that doesn't work, then threats and mockery work just the same. Although omniscient and a means of spreading the Mother's word amongst mankind, Gnathael quite enjoys mingling with mankind, as a means of energy and entertainment——even if she knows how her rendezvous will end.
Quite frankly any voice could fit her, in complete honesty. Though a feminine one is preferable, a masculine or androgynous voice could also befit her with just as much ease. Whether it be mature and smooth, or childish and higher, my main focus is the range and emotion that can be conveyed. An "air of mystery" should be maintained, though capable of being mocking, persuasive, or abruptly serious if need be. A semi-decent mic is preferred; bonus points for minimal background noise.

"A shame. A shame, a shame, a shame."
"Would you like to see something new?"
"Do you hear it? Do you hear the Mother calling?"
