*NEW CHARACTERS* DC Comics meets Jack the Ripper in a new Radio Play
Project Overview
This is an audio project for DC Entropy, a multimedia fan-verse of the DC Comics universe on Twitter and Youtube. We're going to be launching our first community event soon, where followers will be able to vote on the direction of the story playing out across the event. Part newspaper articles and prose, we're including radio play segments for the first time. The story event is called 'See No Evil'.
At the end of the 19th century, Jack the Ripper finds his way to Gotham City and begins his killing spree once again. Pushed to the brink of what it means to be a hero, after discovering the lost ring of the legendary Green Lantern Yalan Gur, Alan Scott is hunted by the League of Shadows. Sworn to bring an end to Jack the Ripper, where does justice end and vengeance begin?
The deadline for auditions is midnight January 7th, 2018 GMT.

-
We've released 4 new character casting calls.
4 new characters are now being auditioned for.
An engineer who becomes one of the first DC superheroes after discovering a magical ring that manifests his will. A gay man in a time where such behaviour was well hidden, he swears vengeance after his lover is killed, and he will stop at nothing to put an end to Jack the Ripper.
(happily) Dearest Sam, your letters are all that have kept me sane, these past four months. The Keystone Bridge is finally nearing completion and I'll be able to come home, at last. I've suffered you in my dreams every night, your voice a whisper in my heart.
(sad) I heard the whistle long before I'd reached the Opera House. Frantic, elongated blasts echoed through the fog and I knew. And yet still I ran, practically flew down the cobbled streets, hoping against hope.
(angry and sad yet hesitant) You don't understand. He was more than... he was more than a friend, I loved him.. like a brother. I can't let this go, I won't and I'm one of the few people in Gotham who have a chance of putting an end to this monster.
A wealthy socialite in Gotham, Wesley moonlights as an urban legend detective crime-fighter known as the Sandman.
I've been tracking this bastard for six years. You think I don't know what's at stake? And now he's here, but why. What brings him across the Atlantic?
It could be any one of them, each fit the profile or have motive. But I can't watch them all. So if you really want to help, pick a man.
A tired old cop on the cobbled old streets of Gotham. Jim isn't afraid to line his own pockets, but with the infamous Jack the Ripper in town, he is desperate to stop him and fast before panic claims the city.
You think you can run around my city, causing chaos, terrorising the people of Gotham? Not on my watch, pal.
I want the city locked down. No one moves, no one takes a goddamned shit unless I say otherwise, am I clear?
A mystic based in Gotham, a very mysterious woman and much wiser than her age belies.
We all have a destiny, Alan Scott. But some destinies are greater than we could ever imagine. I have seen the paths you may yet still walk, some dark and tormented, others a beacon of hope to the world. Only you can decide.
(bristling) That is simply unacceptable, Captain Corrigan. I won't permit this woman's dignity to be stripped away with such rancor. I insist you have your men wait outside.
Line 2
- (sad) I often wonder what stories they could tell us, you know. Are they in heaven, hell? Does death hurt..
(bitter and melancholy) You think you know who I am? What I am? You don't have the right to judge me. I came from nothing. A negro on the bayou. You could never know my kind of suffering. But I made something of myself. I made something of that swamp. I made myself the god damn king of Gotham. What are you compared to that?
(jovial, addressing crowd) Ladies and Gentlemen, let us raise a glass to our beloved city. Tonight we celebrate Gotham and all her majesty, tonight we dance.
Accent: British (upper-class)
Description: A knight of Camelot, Jason Bloed died on the battlefield only to be resurrected by the wizard Merlin, binding a demon to his body. Jason must now live for an eternity, carrying the monster with him, keeping it buried for as long as he can. Jason is obsessed with finding a way to break the curse.
(growing louder voice, intoning)
Change! Change! O' form of man!
Free the prince forever damned!
Free the might from fleshen mire!
Boil the blood in the heart for fire!
Gone! Gone! O' form of man
Arise the demon Etrigan!!(morbid) Who ever did this, they won't stop. This isn't just some mad man on the lose, there's something dark here. Something powerful at work.
Pitch: Deep, guttural
Description: A demon prince of hell, his nature is wrath and destruction, but he is tempered by Jason's will and they serve a mutual purpose to break the curse and free themselves.
A beast with heart of blackened coal
Does roam the world thus men call home
Its blood a sickly smell I know
Hell stench, brimestone, sulfur and bone.(intoning)
Gone now, O Etrigan!
And rise again (or rise once more) the form of man!
