Project Overview

____________________________________________






"You know what “P.U.G.S” stands for, right?"




"'Pugs Under Government Supervision’- a security-based branch of the United States government dedicated to sustaining harmony among its citizens, Pugs and Humans alike. You're keeping the peace, preventing terrorist attacks… spy stuff."




"Correct. We were created to help the pugs transition into human government over a century ago, when the humanoid-pug species first gained recognition for being just as intelligent as humans. Branches of our organization exist worldwide, constantly working to make sure peace between the humans and pugs last, and so far, everything has been going well. Even though the organization is technically called ‘PUGS’, we have several non-canine operatives on hand as so to keep our company as diverse as possible."




____________________________________________



The culmination of original concepts by Jacob Venkat and the staff of Slightly Insulting Productions, "P.U.G.S." is set in a world in which a breed of Pug has collectively reached a level of sentience equal to that of a human being, allowing them to contribute in our society with full citizenship.



Despite their ability to perform at a capacity parallel to that of a human being, Pugs find themselves just as vulnerable to bigotry as any other minority, hence the introduction of the "PUGS" into the government. An agency dedicated to upholding tranquility between two species struggling to live side by side, the group does everything it can to prevent human-pug conflict from creating any more tension in a community built on understanding.

Voice Actor
Agent Ethan "Ace" Alexander (Pug)
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: deleted9301

Ethan "Ace" Alexander has been one of P.U.G.S. leading Pug operatives since his admittance to the organization at age 19, and has developed a reputation for constant success in the field. Despite this, the agent has found himself burnt out in recent years, realizing that he is slowly but surely losing the ability  to disconnect himself from his work off-duty. 



This character should come across as somewhat charming, however, weary due to the stress that has devoured his life in recent years. Rather than allowing himself the room to be emotional, Agent Ace has learned to hide his feelings behind a more stable persona. At his best, the agent's tone should be firm, and at his worst, like that of a broken man struggling to do so. 

  • (Opposed):

    Look, I get it- I’m your best agent, and if I’m in the area, you’re going to call me in whether I like it or not. I love my job, I do, but seriously, if you’re going to keep on pulling me into the field every other weekend, it’s only fair that you give me a bonus.

  • (Disinclined/Offended):
    Oh, so you’re going to pull the race card, huh? Alright, chewing bones, wagging my tail- while I’m at it, would you like me to step outside and take a leak on the nearest fire hydrant?

  • (Confident, gun in hand):
    Alright A-HOLES, give it up. Hands in the air and don’t move!

Head Police Officer Oliver (Human)
open
Unpaid

Officer Oliver doesn't like to disclose their information, much less are they a fan of any sort spotlight. As far as they're concerned, they are a professional, and their work ought to be treated as such. The world would be so much nicer if people would just put aside their differences to get the job done.


Officer Oliver's character ought to be firm, determined, and ideally gruff in pitch (though, that isn't a must-have.)

  • (Vigilant/Focused):Up there on the roof!

  • (Tense):I don’t think we have any other choice… Do it, now!

  • (Distraught):You know, I used to think we lived in such a nice city... Ha... Once upon a time, maybe- but now?... I think I need to leave town.

Pug Thief #1 (Pug)
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

The more cautious of the two thieves, Thief #1 is a sensitive soul,  and aside from criminal choices, a logical individual. Despite Thief #2's more volatile nature, Thief #1 holds their friends life with immense value, and simply hopes to keep them out of trouble long enough to grant both a long and happy life.


When auditioning for this character, please remember that Thief #1 ought to be soft-spoken in nature, as so to contrast Thief #2's brash side.

  • (uneasy):Ha, ah, let’s just get back to the hotel room, alright? Besides, this money isn’t ours. We’ve gotta give it to the boss…

  • (sickened):Oh… oh my God! He was going to tell you!

  • (shaken):Please… please don’t kill me! I didn’t have a choice okay? I was forced to do-

Pug Thief #2 (Pug)
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: braindead bryce

Unlike Thief #2, Thief #1 is vulgar and open, choosing to speak their mind out loud rather than hiding feelings for immediate benefit. However, if Thief #1 is put into immediate danger, Thief #2's aura of confidence and self-assurance will be shot, leaving them vulnerable.


When auditioning for this character, please attempt to highlight how bold they can be at their best, and just how much losing this self-confidence can effect them in more tense situations.

  • (pleased):Sweet! Split it 50/50?

  • (shaken):Awww shittt! Okay! I surrender!

  • (panicked):Okay, okay, I’ll tell you! Just don’t hurt him! We work for-

"Boss" (Human)
open
Unpaid

While we cannot reveal to you Boss' civilian name, we can assure you that there are few people as qualified to hold a leadership position, especially in an agency like PUGS. They are clear, and unwilling to put up with anything less than compliance from agents once in the field.


This character should sound clear and mature.

  • (Anxious):Agent Ace, this is an emergency- two pugs have blown up the West Pekingese Bank and escaped onto the rooftop. They’re moving fast, and I need someone on the job

  • (Tense/Firm):Alright, let me rephrase that- they’re moving fast, and I need someone on the job now.

  • (Peeved):Alright, I’ll get you some more bones to chew on- just get your tail over there!

"Cashier Lady" (Human)
open
Unpaid

While this cashier may not be a regular agent of PUGS, she is very much so a loyal one. Working undercover numerous times over the years, her latest position has brought her to the agency's doorstep, specifically guarding an entrance to its Headquarters hidden within a pharmacy.


Cashier Lady's cover forces her to come off as stoic and impatient- however, outside of this persona, she can be a warm and loving person! It is important that you are able to capture both sides of the character when auditioning.

  • (mildly annoyed):What the hell do you want?

  • (relieved):
    ...About time kid! Do me a favor, and make sure that you burn that paper- we wouldn’t want anyone unsavory to get their hands on it.

  • (jolly, laughs):Man, I love seeing the look on new people’s faces when I pull that lever. The reaction is priceless. Now, you’d better get your ass down there, new boy- you’re late!

Agent David "Lucky" Edward (Pug)
open
Unpaid

PUGS newest recruit, David is... well, a bit of an awkward dork. However, fresh out of school has left this boy bright-eyed and determined to do everything he can to advance in his field.


Despite his newfound adulthood, David is still very young, and so, his voice ought to reflect this- please keep that in mind when auditioning for the role.

  • (uneasy/apologetic):Oh, ah, h-... Hi. I’m, sorry, ah… I’m really nervous… It’s my first day on the job!
    (tense):Alright, all of your years of training have led up to this moment… Don’t screw it up, David… and you’re doing the thing where you talk to yourself again, David… Ugh, stupid Dav- just, stop, stop. It’s going to be okay… 

  • (knowledgeable/enthusiastic):Well of course! That election put the first Pug president and VP into office. It's a miracle that the Pug Party managed beat out the Democrats and the Republicans- I never thought that a 3rd party would do it. It might be a bit upsetting for the human majority at first, sure, but honestly it just gets me excited.

  • (dorky/impressed):Wow, you guys have some sweet tech here! Are those combustible arrows?

Agent Jay "Buddy" Bennett (Human)
open
Unpaid

Jay may just be the nicest person you'll ever come across working at PUGS, and if not, at least the most empathetic. Raised on love and patience has left Jay with nothing more than that to share, earning them the fitting alias "Buddy".


Jay's tone should never fall short on compassion, even in the toughest of scenarios, as plays into his character on a major level. When auditioning for the role, please keep in mind to maintain that warmth and kindness in your tone.

  • (friendly):Well then, hello there! My name is Jay Bennett, or, if you’d prefer my alias right off the bat, “Agent Buddy”- I’ll be showing you around the PUGS Headquarters!

  • (professional):Well as you know, the presidential election was last year, and, to be blunt, the general public is still rather uneasy with the results. We’ve had to keep an eye on the White House these past few months, making sure everything goes smoothly over on Capitol Hill. Staying updated is just a part of the job. I assume that you have a basic understanding of what’s been going on?… 

  • (proud):This is our training facility. We have a 400-yard track, two separate firing ranges for standard and experimental weaponry alike, and four rings specially designed and equipped for anything from basic sparring to intense simulated combat, either armed or unarmed respectively…
