Project Starcross: A Minecraft ARG

Project Overview

A MINECRAFT ARG: PROJECT STARCROSS


Project Starcross is a psychological horror Minecraft ARG that follows seven individuals trapped inside a simulation. Stripped of their memories and suffering from amnesia, the group are forced to solve a series of disorienting challenges designed to test how long it takes them to uncover the truth of their reality. Guiding them is an omnipresent, seemingly friendly “Voice.” However as participants get closer to escaping, the Voice begins to glitch and manipulate the environment, turning from a helpful guide into a malicious being. As the pressure continue to rise, the characters must confront not only the fresh psychological scars inflicted by the simulation’s harsh environment, but also memories of who they were before they forgot.


Trust starts to disintegrate as the Voice begins to play favorites, driving certain participants to sabotage the group for its approval.

THE VOICE - (Affectionately named Ralph)


Role: Antagonist


Goal: To keep the group from escaping the simulation.


He is meant to come off as friendly from the start. A warm, yet concerningly creepy voice, like it’s more forced than anything. The more the group solves puzzles or learns about the world, the more passive aggressive he becomes, later on becoming straight up aggressive, his voice glitching. Before this, he only ever shows his true colors with the Leader in private. He will show favoritism towards a specific group member throughout episodes, manipulating them and isolating them from the rest of the group.


VOICE REQUIREMENTS: Male - Deep American Accent/Just sound scary - Deep British Accent (Any British accent) - Age range you should sound around 30-50 years old - Please have a decent/professional mic with little to no background noises - Voice References we have in mind: Mr. Voice, Little Misfortune: https://youtu.be/Da1uE7uxqhI?si=FJZnz2ArmsnsFvmg The Yellow King, Destroying a World That Doesn’t Exist: (1:22:55-1:24:16) https://youtu.be/NnTycJg1MIo?is=17H9VfrtT_JNTf7r The Lich, Adventure Time: https://youtu.be/FrlymHW0qU8?is=BX-6xXs7vO_Msa3b (do not have to sound close, this is just for what we have in mind for this characters voice)

You think you can save everyone, [laughs] but you can’t even save yourself little Lou. So what are you gonna do now? Do you want that choice again? Must I say it, over and over again to you or will you finally open your ears for once you child. Man up, and get the job done, or I’ll do it for you…and you wouldn’t want that, would you?

CLEMENTINE


Role: Youngest member of the group


Goal: To prove herself to the other members that she’s strong and capable of doing things, despite them all babying her.


She is an optimistic spirit, who has a naive but cheery outlook on their situation. When she sets her mind on something she becomes very stubborn, it is a very charming yet sometimes annoying trait. The group tends to be very protective of her since she’s the youngest, and that causes a lot of internal turmoil for her. She feels as if they see her as a weak link, so this drives her to take on tasks to prove to them that she’s strong and has more to offer outside of being the innocent child they see her as. She’s scared to fail, and if she does then she’s no more than the weakest link, holding everyone back from figuring out what’s happening.


VOICE REQUIRMENTS: Female - High Pitched - Any Accent, preferably American - Age range you should sound around 15-20+ this role is open to any age but keep in mind about sounding a bit younger/teen age - Please have a decent/professional mic with little to no background noises - Voice References: Aphmau, Minecraft Series: https://youtu.be/QIONQFxKWYk?si=PmdcBKDdQto90hvM Luz, The Owl House: https://youtu.be/md3lOsKDCSM?si=FKk74s86h1v_PcGg (do not have to sound close, this is just for what we have in mind for this characters voice)

  • [DETERMINED, FOCUSED THEN EXCITED] This has to work. It needs to work. To show everyone else I’m capable of doing something right. I can do this…I know I can do this [breath inhale and out] ok…if the puzzle involves some sort of, picture or… ideology, then that must mean…[beat] oh my god. I got it, I got it!

  • [EMOTIONAL, ANNOYED] [Sighs annoyingly] Can you guys just stop? The way you treat me, the way you just…force me to stand around and do nothing because you don’t think I’m capable or that I’m too weak to do anything makes me feel…god, like I’m 5 years old! I’m not! I’m fifteen, fifteen and you treat me like I’m some baby who can’t hold herself up. [On the verge of tears] I try and try over and over again to prove myself, yet anytime I do succeed in a task it’s like I barely get anything from you guys. Like it’s small compared to everything else. Well guess what? I’m not stupid, I’m not a child, so stop treating me like one!

MALACHI


Role - Troublemaker, Second youngest and Lou’s younger brother (Though he doesn’t know this due to the amnesia aspect)


Goal - No goal at the moment, he sees no point in the tasks or listening to the voice (He is content to act how he is now, until later on)


He is a notorious troublemaker, he likes to goof around and not listen to rules. He is very rebellious in nature, often ignoring Lou’s demands and doing the opposite of what the voice tells him to. If someone’s are easy buttons to push, he will push them just for the fun of it. He finds Lou’s nagging and unrelenting frustration towards him weird, he thinks the man is too obsessed with how he acts, like he’s something to force into submission.


VOICE REQUIRMENTS: Male - Medium Pitch (kind of high pitched, but not as much, can be low just don’t make it deep) - American Accent since Lou’s VA has an American accent - Age range you should sound around 15-20+ this role is open to any age but keep in mind about sounding a bit younger/teen age - Please have a decent/professional mic with little to no background noises - Voice References: Gumball, The Amazing World of Gumball: https://youtu.be/M5CojY84gms?si=HOv4XKkAK9F6R3NW Finn, Adventure Time: https://youtu.be/JwAbLGYQ7B0?is=1KEO6PuRmCIVtxZS Sukko, Avatar: The Last Airbender: https://youtu.be/t-q73L9A1ac?si=Pn6U0k475qThVcJ1 (do not have to sound close, this is just for what we have in mind for this characters voice)

  • [GOOFY, LAUGHING] Oh, hey, hey! Luciana! Do you know why the chicken crossed the road to get to the other side? [beat] No [trying to hold in laugh] to get to the losers house, knock knock [beat] who’s there, well well it’s the chicken! [laugh]

  • [ASSHOLE, MAKING FUN OF] [Laughs] Oh, is that what you think? Really? Wow, Clementine that is the best thing I have heard all day. Actually, no, wait that’s the most stupidest thing I have heard all day because it just sounds like stupidity fell from your mouth, landed on the floor, and started screaming [high pitched voice] ‘ah! Help me! My brain runs only on 2 brain cells per second!’

  • [ANNOYED, AGGRESSIVE] Look, man. I don’t understand why the hell you’re doing all of this. Seriously, you are acting like you know me, well guess what Lou, ya don’t know me. You don’t know a single thing about me yet you boss me around like I’m your child or something. You single me out and for what? To prove yourself? Or to, put me back in line with the other little sheep? Because frankly I don’t give a fuck what you think, or that creepy voice in the sky. I don’t care for any of this, the tasks, the stupid decisions, none of it. You can’t stop me from not wanting to be apart of your little weird ass scheme. Ok? Capeesh?

WILLOW


Role - Co-leader of the group, the one everyone runs to when things get tough


Goal - To keep the group together and be there for everyone


She is very chill and relaxed, and gets along with everyone within the group. She is the glue that keeps them together, everyone always comes to her for something, whether it be advice or something minuscule, she is always willing to help. Despite this she is a very reserved person, finding it better to keep her feelings to herself. She rather focus on how others feeling than confront her own demons, this bottling up leads to her experiencing harsh nightmares that leave her shaken.

  • [LOVING, GENTLE] I think you did a really good job Clementine. I see what you do, and I see all that you can be. Don’t let the stress of everything get to you, ok? Plus, you’re smart. You can solve things on your own, I mean that one puzzle you solved all by yourself and it was amazing.

  • [CALM, REASSURING] Hey, come on. Stop treating him like that Lou. I get everyone’s upset, and I get sometimes Malachi can goof off but it doesn’t mean we should try to separate ourselves. We all need each other. We need eachother for these tasks, to get them done and solve them. We can’t argue and let ourselves slip because of one stupid mistake. Ok? So can we please just…stop fighting? We need each other. We need you Lou, and we need you Malachi. Even if you don’t want to be apart of it.

  • [SCARED, UPSET] [on the verge of tears] All I can see if their faces, I don’t know what’s happening to me. Everytime I close my eyes, I see people I don’t know, or maybe people I don’t remember and I just…hear their screams. My name being shouted over and over again like they’re trying to get to me, or trying to hurt me or…I don’t know. I don’t know what’s happening anymore. I’m so scared, but I can’t just, say that. I can’t be a burden on everyone’s plate and…I don’t even know if anyone will trust me. Trust my words, trust my dreams. I’m just so tired. I just…I just want to sleep without the fear that I’m gonna be hunted, and never wake up again.

COLTON


Role - Protector, older brother figure


Goal - To make sure everyone makes it out safe


He is a very charming individual, with bravery that cannot be rivaled. He can come across as quite impulsive, ready to throw himself head first into any situation, but he also has a bit of an awkward side. He is athletic, and tends to be very protective of the other members since he is one of the oldest. He likes to take care of others, making him and Willow quite the duo as they look out for the others in the group. His relationship with Lou is a bit confusing, he tries to get their leader to be open, letting Lou know that he can be a shoulder to lean on, he always seem to reach a stalemate…But he’s been making progress, possibly.


VOICE REQUIRMENTS: Male - Medium-Low pitch (More of a charming sounding voice, not jock like as he isn’t stupid) - Any Accent, preferably American - Age range you should sound around 18-20+ this role is open to those who are 18+ as it will possibly involve future romance - Please have a decent/professional mic with little to no background noises - Voice References: Hunter, The Owl House: https://youtu.be/nZfF_K1hi9Y?is=z3dAyu_W2LC0Bsrt Zuko, Avatar: The Last Airbender: https://youtu.be/btHUG6ySxdc?feature=shared Nightwing, Batman: https://youtu.be/OguPcs1vVxQ?is=wCSCDZP6aE4Agwhp (do not have to sound close, this is just for what we have in mind for this characters voice)

Just something, like a good luck charm, a dream catcher of sorts. I know it might not help what you’ve been going through but…I thought it might help.

  • [CHARMING, COURAGE] Ok…I see how it is. You want to hurt my friends, well then, why don’t we go head to head? Prove who’s the bigger boss? Well, come on then don’t be pussies [laugh, fighting noises] yeah, yeah! I got you! Did you guys see that?! I got them!

  • [SINCERE, SOFT] [Sigh] Lou…I hope you know I’m here, and that I see that you want to try to protect everyone.

Ok? I’ll always be here for you. You know I’d run head first into danger for you, I’d do that for any of you but…I always want to protect you without that.

LUCIANA/LUCIANO


Role - The one who figures it all out, Smart one


Goal - To figure out what the voice and Lou are planning


They are the smartest of the group, well book smart. They’re quick to figure things out, which leaves their relationship with Lou kinda rocky, as he doesn’t seem to appreciate when they undermine their authority and talk back to the voice. They don’t approve of Lou’s behavior, concerned about how he acts with Malachi and tends to try to keep them separate, which leads to them and Malachi developing a close bond, as they share similar qualities and feelings about the voice and Lou. They’re the one who plans to expose Lou and the voice’s schemes to the group.


VOICE REQUIRMENTS: Any gender sounding voice - Any pitch - Any Accent, preferably American - Age range you should sound around 18-20+ this role is open to those of any age, just try to sound 18+ - Please have a decent/professional mic with little to no background noises - Voice References: Ellie Williams, The Last of Us: https://youtu.be/J9jP_9diIj8?si=kaMLnHQicsWnHin3 Mizu, Blue Eyed Samuri: https://youtu.be/rb4WXQEq5Vg?si=YDeXYbGoZxuqcL9K Kiara, Jujutsu Kaisen: https://youtu.be/NWCpH-dMJvQ?si=CQ1-RLPU6Aq6hVny (do not have to sound close, this is just for what we have in mind for this characters voice, and we do not care for any pitch so do whatever you see fit!)

  • [INTELLIGENT, NOT SHOWING OFF BUT CALM] Well. If I didn’t know, which I do know, I’d say the color we’re looking for is blue. So let’s see, the only few things we have that are blue are diamonds, lapis, allays andddd sculks. So the code must be, Lads. Stupid code if you ask me but let’s try it [beat] wow look at that, it worked.

  • [ANGER, RESENTMENT] I know what you’re doing. Jesus Christ I’m not fucking stupid, I see right through you. You think you’re hiding it, you and the voices mysterious relationship but it’s right there in front of everyone’s faces. He favors you because you do things outside of his own bidding right? And you just follow along, like some sheep. After everything we’ve been through, all of us, together. Putting our trust in our all mighty leader Lou and thinking maybe he’s looking out for us, but no. No that was all a stupid lie. Malachi was right. You are a monster. You are a killer and a murderer and you won’t even look at me because you know it’s true.

Main H.E.A.V.E.N head doctor, will be used in analog videos and so on for this ARG. This is a smaller role compared to the others but still is rather important. This character is scary, and is almost close to the vibes of the voice. He has a lot of lore I will share with whoever we cast!


VOICE REQUIREMENTS: Please sound 30+, I prefer an older voice and someone who sounds like they have a deep gravel voice. This character is important to lore, so keep in mind about that.
