Project Overview
LOGLINE: A quiet, chicken-hearted monster named Pluto tries to survive as a hero in a terrified and bloodthirsty city that wants him and his kind dead.
Only available for those between AGES 13-18 to play the SUPPORTING TEEN roles. BUT, for the YOUNG-ADULT & OLDER ROLES, I will accept auditions for people over the age of 18.
The story is set in a world where the human race has evolved into something more... unhuman— thanks to the SCMN33-gene that caused humans to develop in unnatural ways, developing unnatural abilities. Not to mention, the physical qualities that morph into the inhuman the more a person uses their ability. Humans are turning into monsters that only used to live in folktales. The real fear is among all. Chaos and fear and shaky stability— for ten years humans cowered at the monster-turned. For years, monsters were the strongest, until, like always, humans conquered their adversaries.
Monsters are shunned. Monsters are ostracized. Monsters are tamed and barely feared. Everyone is out for monster blood. It's part of the culture. From however old you are to skip a stone at a pond, you are at the age that you can chuck that stone at the face of a monster. If a child were to show monster-like abilities, they are required to take The Monster Evaluation to see if they can live in the civilized world with their oddities, or without their emotions.
Follow Pluto, a monster-kid— teen?— whatever, as he treks the world, trying to fix something, but he cannot hope to do anything alone. He will find others like him, an entire society of hidden monsters just like him, in a safe haven. Maybe he could learn to hope in a better world... a less bloody... less restricting world, a world that remembers its previous humanity.

"Don't call yourself an irregularity. You were meant to be who you are. I created the Underground to shelter people like you. We are not a mistake. We deserve to be saved."
*walking up the steps to her twin brother's apartment, muttering to herself* (she hasn't seen him in almost 20 years)
"Please don't let him be taller than me. Please, God, he's always been the small fry, don't let him be taller than me! Please, please, please, please, please."

Nova: "I don't know why I came here to take this abuse."
Claes: " You're the one who broke into my own home."
Nova: "You let me in, idiot."
Claes: "Well I take back my invitation— now you're here without invitation, therefore you're here without my assent, therefore you have broken in."
Nova: "Oh no! Will you cry?"
Claes: "I will."
Nova: You wouldn't.
Claes: *screams bloody murder like a wife in a 1950s horror movie*
