Hell Above, MINECRAFT MACHINIMA
Project Overview
HELL ABOVE.
Hell Above is a Minecraft Machinima series that stems from a Minecraft Server I myself participate in. Showing off what happens off screen in a cohesive story.
This story follows a character named "Brennan" or is at least KNOWN under the name Brennan. Leaving a nation behind with all his "friends" to escape the politics and stress that burdens them. To "live free."
All of them, Brennan, Lucifer, Red, Dean, Ace... Well with the exemption of Ace. Have done something horrible in their own pasts, whether it haunts them or not isn't of importance. Taking their aliases and living under the radar to quickly learn of bounty hunters after them for God knows what reason. Some of them have their guesses. Managing to weasel their way out of suspicion and fleeing, ending up at a small, almost deserted town called "Helensburgh."
All of them seek out to get a job to pay for the rent to stay in the meantime, to lie low. Brennan has some trouble... Under the pressure to make himself useful he goes underground as a miner. Coming across a group of people talking about "finding" a group. Assuming these are bounty hunters and attacking. Getting himself tangled up in a conflict that never involved him and being torn away from his group.
Eventually meeting a group of teenagers. Learning those he had fought earlier on were in fact not bounty hunters. Instead, Raiders and these kids are the victims of such. Seeking out revenge. And with Brennan now on hostile terms reluctantly agrees to help as actual bounty hunters start closing in.
The project is supposed to have a Minecrafty server vibe hence the weird names to mimic the nature of usernames. And while this is a MINECRAFT project it is going to have some more mature themes to fit the server it originated from.CASTING CALLS WILL END ON THE 30th of JULY!

Brennan comes from a group of people who left behind their old nation mere weeks before ending up in this town called Helensburgh. Bounties over their head with hunters hot on their tail.
He is an impulsive, aggressive, yet childish person. Nineteen years old but appearing and sounding no older than sixteen. Trained to be a soldier from boyhood. Haunted by his own history, what he was and will forever be. Haunted by the voices of those he's wronged, killed, and fears.

Maggie is a girl from Brennans past, seen through dreams, nightmares, and hallucinations that haunt his mind relentlessly.
She was an elder cadet that trained alongside and with Brennan, seen as a sister by him. Ambitious and chasing the stars just as he did. Pushing him to fight, to become the warrior he wanted to be, to be stronger.
Her words turned malicious in present day, pushing him to be the monster his old kingdom created.

[Whispered/Egging on] "Kill them, kill them before they kill you."
[Egging on/Angry] "YOU IDIOT! SHOOT HIM!"
A knight, a soldier, a monster. A figure that haunts Brennan alongside the rest.
Somebody from a long-forgotten war, when he was merely thirteen. A voice that shows itself in the dark, thriving off his fear of being weak.
Voice is more on the raspy side, but otherwise sound completely average. Voice isn't super low or demonic, just human and normal.
ROLE IMPORTANCE: Debatable, seen in almost every episode yet not too many lines. Minor character.

[Neutral/Quiet] "What are you fighting for?"
Bee is the second youngest within this ragtag group of teenagers seeking revenge for what was done.
She's stubborn, childish, and far too ambitious for her own good. Seeing the world through rose colored lenses and unable to ground herself in reality till it's served to her on a bloody plate.

[Quiet/Scared] "What is- what is that.."
Holiday is the "leader" of sorts of this group of teenagers seeking revenge and the oldest. He's a little cocky but otherwise mostly reasonable. Aware of what they are doing is dangerous to an extent but doing it anyway without a care for his own life but a care for the others. Growing extremely protective over them.

[Conflicted] "What if this was a mistake? What if this is a death sentence?"
[Challenging] "If you're a so-called warrior why don't you fight like one?"
[Afraid] "What the fuck is that?!"
Darwin, alike to Bee. Is a boy who sees the world through Rose colored lenses. Yet lacks the flair and stubbornness she has. An energetic, childish, and overly optimistic guy. Somehow capable of the very things his group plans to do to the raiders that wronged their home.

[Casual] "Are we just gonna sit here and bicker all day or do something productive?"
[Complaining] "Commonnnnnn! That's so lame!"
Rook is a particularly quiet, closed off member of this group seeking out revenge. Seeking out the same goal and refusing to behave "happy" or "excited" about it. Knowing what such a mission may entail, the loss that could occur, the lives that could be lost. Far more grounded in reality.

[Disoriented] "Where the hell.. where the hell are we?"

[Serious/Concerned] "What in god's name happened?"
[Commanding] "Put your weapons down, we aren't here to fight."
[Contemplating] "How has everything been turned against us?"
Sergie is James's right hand, not that they are organized by any means. Far from it. She helps manage the rest of their group and wishing better. Sharing the same idea of being trapped in a life of crime. A hint more relaxed than James and less on edge yet more willing to violence.

[Sarcastic] "Right, not that Miles lacks any self-preservation or anything like that."
[Persuading/Sweet Talking] "If you let us go.. We can tell you where that guy is. With the big bounty? Yeah?"
[Neutral] "Those hunters... they're after that kid."
Sophie is one of the Raiders, a mere teenager. She's hot headed, and easily irritated but undeniably loyal to those around her. Willing to fight tooth and nail.

Miles is a raider, he's also an idiot with a lack of self-preservation. Throwing himself into danger without any regard for his own safety and laughing about it later. Giving everyone a heart attack, particularly close with Sophie, she's like a sister to him.

[Interrupting] "-OR! Or we can just get the hell out of here before one of us gets shot!"

A lot of extras will be needed throughout the series!
[Casual] "So you're heading out to Steelwood tonight?"
[Deescalating] "Hey! Hey, maybe we can take this fight outside? Yeah?"
