Hivebound - Official Dub (Round 2)
Project Overview
HIVEBOUND is an alternate-universe fan story for Hiveswap where a group of trolls from Hiveswap play a game similar to Sburb. There's chaos, violence, and tense relationships as the trolls try to figure out how to beat this cosmic game they're stuck in for an ultimate prize.
This project is 18+ because of the violence and strong language used. Please do not audition if you are a minor. If you do audition, please join the Discord for casting so it's easy to stay in touch and get updates about the project.

You are free to audition for as many characters as you want to, but only one role will be given out per actor. Please make sure that you have a good microphone and no background noise.
This is a long-term project and by auditioning, you acknowledge that it could be quite some time between lines being needed. Lines should also be turned in timely (by that, I mean like a week or two after they're posted, otherwise you may be cut from the project. If you need an extension because of an emergency, of course that'll be granted).
When you are logged in, you can comment, add submissions, create projects, upvote, search open roles, and way more. Login here.
Xefros is a rustblood troll. He's shy and non-confrontational, and he's moirails with the wanted terrorist Dammek.
When doing his lines, try to accentuate his unease and uncertainty in both himself and his relationship with Dammek. Don't go to extreme, but make it clear that he's vaguely scared of most things and trolls.

Are you busy with something? You can tell me about it! Hello? Dammek are you ok? Why are you ignoring me?
Damn it! I’m all wet now and I’ll have to scrub the floor again!
Thank you for keeping me safe, Dammek. You’re the best moirail, you know.
Dammek is a determined (but inexperienced) terrorist. He's cold towards his own moirail (Accentuate the fact that he's manipulative of Xefros) and has violent outbursts towards others. When he wants to be, he's cool and collected, unless he loses his temper.
- male teen
They will kill you, Xefros. Listen to me. If you want to stay safe, follow only my leads.
You’re already on the brink as The Mask. What’s a little more brinksmanship at this point?
(About to kill another troll) Still… No loose ends.
Polypa is an oliveblooded mercenary with a soft side. Often times she is reserved, and she prefers to fight alone, but she also has a friendly side that can come out. She's crafty and resourceful but also tends to try and deal with problems head on rather than entirely thinking them through.
- female teen
Sure. But on the one condition that you learn how to actually defend yourself and not act like a wet noodle I have to bail out all the time. If you’re dragging me down, I’m cutting you off. Understand?
Yeah, when I was younger my hive caught on fire and I was nearly killed by it. I had some pretty nasty scars on my arms from where some pieces of wood collapsed on me so I decided to wrap them in bandage to hide them.
Ok so, we’ve made a bit of progress, but we’re still not there yet.
Chixie Roixmr is a bronzeblood singer by day, rebel by night. In the day, she's anxious and nervous, but at night when she puts on her mask, she's able to be a confident version of herself. While she often lets other trolls walk over her, when she stands up for herself, she makes sure everyone knows it.
- female teen
Oh my god, are those bombs outside near you?
Thank you, Marvus. That’s very kind, actually.
So what I’m hearing is that you want to liberate every troll on Alternia except for Xefros.
Tegiri is a legislacerator obsessed with anime culture. He'd probably use 4Chan if it existed on Alternia (It'd be utterly terrifying on there if it did). Don't go too thick with the "redditor" voice but give a little bit of that sound.
(Note: Tegiri does not have many lines)
- male teen
The winds may blow hard but the sturdy tubeflora never bows despite how short it may be. Stay firm, Tirona.
Daraya is a jadeblood searching for a meaning in life. She's filled with pent-up frustration for just about everything, but through that shell of frustration, she does care about her friendship with Bronya. She just wishes that there was something more for her to look towards in life than being cloistered.
- female teen
Come on! We’re going to miss it if you don’t hurry up!
Lanque goes out all the time, why can’t I just have a night out?
Galekh, do you have any idea how we can survive this?
Konyyl is the brash matesprit of Azdaja. Her sense of humor is dark, she's not afraid to get her hands (er- claws, actually) dirty for a job, and oh boy does killing trolls make money. She's highly protective of her matesprit, and is ready to fight her way through anyone that might stop her.
- female teen
Hopefully they know how to fight!
I wouldn’t have saved Zebruh’s ass.
I haven’t heard from Azdaja in hours. That isn’t normal. I swear to god if something happened to him-
Marvus is a charismatic celebrity that Alternia is obsessed with. A purpleblood, he's best known in other clown circles. He's always ready to put on a fun show (even though he longs for people to see him as an actual artist.) Being the forefront of cool, he speaks in almost incomprehensible strings of slang with his low voice.
- male teen
I feel bad for you, Daraya, but I also feel bad for Bronya here. You jades have it really fuckin’ hard, you know that?
"that aint gon mean shiz tho when you’re dead lil’ rusty"
We’z in a really tough spot, m’kay? And I’ll do my best to protect you two but I can’t guarantee shit. Aight?
Elwurd is everyone's calm and cool drug dealer. It may not look like it, but there's always a bunch of white powder of some sort and a handgun in her coat. She's ambitious and ruthless, but not cold. She's energetic.
- female teen
It’s nice to have an opponent who’s competent for once.
You know you’re more accurate if you rest your grip on your arm rather than just holding it with one hand.
Is that blood on your shirt?
Vikare is a bronzeblood obsessed with the concept of flight. He speaks in unusually long words that confuse everyone endlessly. Unlike most other trolls, he's focused not on violence or success or relationships, but simply finding a way to fly.
Give him an accent of some kind. My suggestion would be an English one, but it's not required.
- male teen
Quite alright, my good man. Just in need of a bit of a lift.
There are the most wonderful of resources plentiful to the urban environment that- (Gets cut off)
You see, I have been slowly putting together the engine to power a two-winged aeroplane device. Let me show you.
Galekh is almost entirely formal, except for when he gets frustrated. Most of the time though, he is calm and soft speaking, but not afraid to tell trolls the harsh truth. He's an intellectual with almost unlimited curiosity about knowledge. Despite being a beliver in the natural order of the hemospectrum, he is always respectful to trolls regardless of color if they're respectful to him.
- male teen
Unless I’m under time constraint, I’m safe. I think it’s best of someone acts like a coordinator.
We’re trapped in this world, you know. I think I was able to get the message across before Azdaja and Konyyl decided to break ranks. And well, before we lost the others as well.
The nature of trolls: Give them weapons and they will kill.
One half of the Soleil twins. They're always vaguely confusing and creepy to other trolls as they seem to share one mind.
- female child
What are we doing?
Of course- (cuts off)
(Starts mid-sentence)A dramatic and tragic one!
The other half of the Soleil twins. They're always vaguely confusing and creepy to other trolls as they seem to share one mind.
- male child
And we love a good story-
Mister Marvus!
So where are we going?
