Critical Data

Project Overview

Atlas Sandoval, Nabi Yeop, and Alistair Holt are three best friends who attend the prestigious Goliath's Peak Institute of Science in hopes of becoming world-renowned scientists like their parents and idols. Only the best of the best go there to study, and there's cutthroat competition to be noticed by the desirable facilities affiliated with the school to secure future careers, most notably the legendary Den Corp. However, Atlas, Alistair, and Nabi soon discover that the CEO of "The Den", Daniel Leon, is a rampantly unethical douchebag despite his spotless reputation to the public and suave outward charm. Follow these three friends on their wacky everyday misadventures all the while trying to undermine a madman who perhaps took the title of "mad scientist" a little too seriously all the while juggling the weird situations they end up in.

Atlas Sandoval

Unpaid
Role assigned to: PhantomVA

Full Name: Atlas Theodore Sandoval

Gender: Trans man

Ethnicity: African-American

Occupation: Zoology student / part-time zookeeper

Atlas is a friendly, gentle, and adventurous guy who is majoring in zoology at the Institute. He's the kind of person who is always trying to do the right thing and help others out, and it doesn't hurt than he's good-looking and has a good sense of humor. At the start of the series, he's just moved into the weird little lakeside town that is Goliath's Peak with his father Terrence. Atlas's mother passed away from cancer six months prior to their move, leaving Atlas with a good amount of grief and uncertainty for his future, but tries his best to trudge through it with a smile and support from his new friends.

Vocal details: Atlas has a light, airy feel to it that is approachable and comfortable. Though the guy is a big softie and wears his heart on his sleeve most of the time, he's no pushover; he knows what's right and wrong, and isn't afraid to stand up to people or voice his opinion. 

  • [ Concerned, calling out.] "Nabi! Nabi! C'mon, where'd you go? I have your stuff! Jax and his buddies are gone!" [He hears a muffled sob, and he finds his friend all crammed into a tight space in the wall. He instantly softens.] "Thank goodness, there you are. Oh, Nab, look at you, you're soaking wet. Are you okay? Come on out of there, it's alright." [She initially refuses.] "Don't make me crawl in there with you, don't think I won't. Then we'll get stuck, the fire department will come, and then it'll be awkward." [She comes out, though tenderly and anxiously.] "There we go, come on, sit by me. Here's my coat, we don't want you catching a cold, do we?" [His concern returns as he throws an arm over her shoulders and brings her close.] "It's okay to cry, just get your breath back. Those sons of bitches won't bother you anymore, I promise."

  • [He slams his fist hard against the doorframe, making sure he has the "activist's" attention, but his voice is ominously low and quiet.] "You had no business coming here to begin with. Listen, animals are my life - I wouldn't be in this profession they weren't - but there's animal welfare and then there's /you/. Even then, there's a difference between the hippy-dippy "save the whales" crap and the shit you people do." [His voice becomes more intense.] "There's a nine-hundred pound female grizzly with significant neurological damage to her brain running loose because of you bleeding heart assholes who think that captivity automatically means mistreatment." [He pauses, but then continues through gritted teeth.] "You better hope and pray that she hasn't hurt anyone or that she isn't hurt, because then you'll have hell to pay."

  • [Crying, as he's clearly shaken by something.] "I-I just can't deal with this right now, I-I..." [Sobs.] "I don't want to be here! There's too many memories, I already have to deal with them in my dreams, I can't even stand to be alone in the dark because...[He breaks down, arms tucked into his sides as though he's hugging himself as he sits on the floor, burying his head in his knees. Nabi moves in slowly and embraces him as Alistair stands by, stunned.] "I just want to leave. I want my dad. The music, the bathroom, just... I want to go home."

Nabi Yeop

Unpaid
Role assigned to: krugga_chugga

Full Name: Nabi Juniper Yeop

Gender: Female

Ethnicity: Korean-American

Occupation: Chemistry student / culinary apprentice

Nabi is a well-meaning but mischievous girl who lives up to her nickname - "The Gremlin" - for her energetic and eccentric nature, though she can be timid and easily-frightened as well. Born prematurely to a pair of immigrant parents and enduring a sickly childhood, Nabi has spent most of her social life at the bottom of the heap; she endured bullying for most of her academic career due to short stature, her Korean roots, and for just being seen as "the weird kid", unfortunately putting a lot of Nabi's self-esteem and confidence in the toilet. However, Nabi remains sweet and unashamed by her interests, which led to her being best friends with the big man on campus, Atlas. Along with her adoptive brother Alistair, Nabi lives her life just being who she is and finding new ways to enjoy it.

Vocal notes: THIS CHARACTER IS BILINGUAL. Nabi is fluent in both English and Korean. If possible, an actor who can speak both will be hired, otherwise two separate actors may be casted: one for English and another for Korean. Nabi sounds bubbly and friendly, but her voice and carry an edge when angry. 

  • [In presentation.] "Hello, my legion! Welcome back to another episode of Noshing With Nabi. I just clawed all the way up from Hell, and Satan said 'Thank fuck, she's gone'. Anyway! Today we're going to be looking at one of my personal favorite desserts: yakgwa, or Korean honey cookies. Now, as we begin, we'll...[She's forgotten her line.] Uh, yeah, we'll do that thing. Haha! Um...damn. [Calling out.] Hey, Al! Have you seen my flashcards? I flubbed my lines again, and I wanted this video recorded by tonight. [Her dog walks in, tongue out. Nabi reaches down and puts her paws up on the counter and hands her a whisk.] Cover for me. I don't care what you do, but if you start going off about how the moon landing was faked, I'm cutting your salary."

  • [Frightened.] "I-I don't know what c-came over me. I came in from the vent, it was the only way I could get in from the hallway I came from, and I - he just - [swallows hard, her voice breaks] He had Atlas by the throat, I just saw red. I-I wanted - I had to - [She thrusts the knife to Alistair, shaking.] Here, take it. I don't wanna hold it, I don't wanna look at it, I just - just want to make sure Atlas is okay. I don't care what you do with it, just keep it away from me."

  • (Say something in Korean, perhaps she's addressing her parents? If possible, please provide a translation of what you said.)

Alistair Holt

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Noah Harshbarger

Full Name: Alistair Pierce Holt

Gender: Male

Ethnicity: Caucasian

Occupation: Student / scientist / business entrepreneur

Alistair is a mature, level-headed scientist-in-training who was adopted by the Yeop family after a falling out with his mother, making him Nabi's adopted older brother. Alistair has always had a straightforward intuition and a diplomatic way of presenting himself to others, even if in a casual setting. He holds himself tall and tries to be a figure others can look up to, though he does need to be reminded to wind down and relax sometimes, be it his friends Atlas and Nabi or even his own professors. 

Vocal details: Alistair should sound professional and wise, though he can slip into more casual dialogue. He tends to be very adept in his work and relationships, trying his best to remember which is which most of the time. 

  • [Curtly.] "The front gates have shut, good. Nabi, you try to find an entry point somewhere along the side walls once you clear the fence and get past security, remember to keep out of the spotlights and away from the dogs. Atlas, you and I will stay along the treeline and serve as a distraction if we need to. Big kid pants on, people, we're about to enter the lion's den."

  • [Outraged.] "You bastards! Jackasses, you could've shot my sister, you fucks! [More frantically, but still serious.] Nabi, Nabi, let me see. Are you hurt? Okay, good, thank Christ. Atlas? Are you alright? Praise God, okay, okay. For fuck's sake, damn Leon! He nearly had us, the snake, we won't forget this!"

  • [Apologetic.] "I'm...I'm sorry about before. I was just afraid you or Nabi may have been hurt, and I...just lost it. I've known Nabi since kindergarten, we've always been really close, and now she's my little sister. If she had gotten shot...I-I'd don't know what I'd have done. Not only that, but I've become pretty fond of you too, At. You literally shielded us while we were hiding in all that undergrowth...I have a lot of respect for you. Thank you.

Daniel Leon

Unpaid
Role assigned to: George VA

Full Name: Daniel Santiago Leon

Gender: Male

Ethnicity: Hispanic - Caucasian 

Occupation: Founder and current CEO of Den Corp

A CEO that is rather morally grey and has more money than he knows what to do with, Daniel went from being a hot shot business owner to the head of a scientific research establishment that performs questionable experiments. While charming and suave to the public and being the "it" guy that the Institute students want to impress in hopes of securing a job under him, Daniel's true self is revealed when three students who call themselves the Three Wiseasses - Atlas, Nabi, and Alistair - stumble into the Den after some cause for suspicious and discover what kind of happenings actually occur there.

Vocal details: Daniel should sound like someone who has their act together and carries himself with pride and confidence. However, he is cunning and full of tricks, so don't be afraid to up the ante in his harsher moments.

  • [Sinisterly.] "Well, well, well...what have we here, boys? Goliath Peak's picks of the litter? Looks like a couple of poor pups got caught sniffing around where they shouldn't. You kids lost or something? Weird place to call a shortcut, Den Corporation. Good thing I left my keys in the lounge, otherwise you guys would've gotten hurt, right? Can't have something happen to a couple of trespassers on /my/ property."

  • [Outraged.] "No, that was a joke, you idiots? The B.U.T.T.E was supposed to be refranchised and RENAMED, dammit! Get the papers, we need to fix this now! WHAT? WHY CAN'T WE CHANGE IT? /WHO THE HELL STARTED THE TRADEMARK WITHOUT ME KNOWING?!/ Why do I hire you people?! Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, someone bring me some scotch!"

  • [In a upbeat, fatherly tone as Atlas and Nabi stare on in shock.] "Have a good time, son. Be good for your new friends and be sure to listen to them. Alright then, I love you, be good. [To Atlas and Nabi, threateningly.] You get my boy tangled up in some stupid bullshit scheme, I'll have you both roasted over a spit and fed to my hunting dogs in chunks. [Back to Jadiel.] I've got to go, Jadiel, time for work. Have fun!"
