Pokemon Symphonic Horizon
Project Overview
Hello everyone! This is a recast casting call for voice actors that have left this project.
You MUST:
Have a decent microphone
Have some experience
Be committed. The old voice actors have dropped out of this project because it was more than they expected. This is a big project and there are lots of components. If you want to be part of something big, this is the place for you.
What is Pokemon Symphonic Horizon? This is what the mastermind behind it all, Dylan, has to say.
Simply put: This is a game that has been in the works for a few years now, but I never really had it see the public's eye until now. I wanted to have a game feel like a proper RPG, and capture the feeling of emotion, especially since my game's main thing is its tone. This is not a traditional Pokemon game as one would think; there are gym battles, but they are not the center piece of the story, also the game is mainly tied to a story, as I previously mentioned. I mainly wanted to create something that wasn't the same old Pokemon game that has been done a thousand times over. Instead, I wanted to portray the game with as much characterization, and personality as possible. The overarching tone of the game was meant to portray a feeling of emotion, and make the player feel what the characters are feeling. This isn't a game where you play as an avatar of yourself, but rather these characters are their own person. Which, shows at the beginning since you are not able to rename your main character or anyone else for that matter; they are ingrained into their personality, and that is what I set out to achieve.

Age 33
This mercenary hired by the Dark Fangs to hunt down Vice at Relia Island is one tough mother! Apart from taking Marissa with him to the forests entrance of Relia Island, but he constantly hunts down Vice and Marissa throughout the course of the game. He is a part of a small mercenary group and has a very cocky attitude. Usually never taking anything seriously. Usually mocking the player, and not caring about anything that they are saying. Craig is very standoffish, and isn't afraid of cracking jokes when they aren't really necessary.
What do you mean, what am I doing? Just like you ordered, the Dark Fangs you sent me with have now claimed Namira Village.
So, what do you want me to do with the excess baggage? Kill them? Toss them into the river? Or just let them rot in the town’s jail?
Whatever you say, boss man!
Age 33
The main villain of the game. Who is the twin brother to Vaan Cresthart who passed away eight-years prior to the events in the game. He is the leader of the Dark Fangs, an evil organization bent on destroying the world, and then recreating it in their own image. This man is shrouded in mystery, and is often times extremely methodical and cunning. Not only that, but he is incredibly powerful, and often times holds back intentionally so that he can test the Hero's powers so that he can analyze their strategies.
The Monochroma Family. They were once allied with us, before I temporarily disbanded our organization in order to gather forces. They helped us research many things about the Lumia Region, and it’s Dragon Force, along with creating for us the Master Ball. Apparently… they have something that they never spoke to us about. Something kept secret, which was not meant for us to come across.
Excellent… I am anxious to see what lies behind those doors, after eight-years… Now… go, you are dismissed.
… Damn you Vaan! *throws the fragment*
Even after I killed you eight-years ago, you still mock me to this day!
Age 33
A high ranking elite officer of the Dark Fangs. This mysterious woman who is a part of the evil Dark Fangs has many secrets about her. She tends to follow Marissa around throughout most of the game, and is the main villain in her story mode. Her last name is kept ambiguous throughout most of the game, but her real motives are revealed later in the game. Aria's personality is rough, meticulous and reserved. She will take her time to make sure that everything will go perfectly in her favor and becomes a real challenge for the party during the course of the game.
Battle me, and we’ll soon find out. Keep in mind that my actions are not representative of any orders that were issued to me by Nero; I wish to battle you, in order to find out who I am, and why memories of my past life keep flashing before me. Something about you keeps me wondering about who I am.
It’s coming back to me… memories from the past. Still so unclear, yet, so vivid. Marissa, I am aware that Oblivion Forest is the next Sanctuary, however, I will not intervene in your expedition.
My… head. Why…? Why is this happening to me?! Nero… this must be the same kind of pain you experienced when you confronted her? But, why? Marissa, mark my words, I will find out the answer to these visions, and the next time we meet, it will most certainly be the last…
Age 11
Marissa can be described as rowdy, and excitable, with a gentle compassionate heart. She often times comes off as extremely polite towards Vice and his friends. Throughout the game Marissa shows to have a crush on Vice, and often times blushes immensely whenever she is caught doing something for him. Even still, she has lived a very lonely life, at the age of 3 Marissa's parents disappeared suddenly, while Helena and the Brennan Estates maids took care of Marissa. Being very close to Helena, Marissa usually goes towards Helena for moral and emotional support while left alone at her Estate. Marissa is the only character in the game that possesses the ability to Chain Jump across gaps, and is able to jump infinitely without getting tired, due to her acrobatic prowess.

Of course I did. Krista and I passed up the entrance to Namira Village, and the rocks blocking the passage were completely destroyed. Not only that, we had a couple run-in with some grunts, doing who knows what.
Yeah, it sure is. From what I heard, this mountain is like a giant maze, and is extremely treacherous to first-time Trainers.
Oh, it’s nothing. It was something that my sister would say to me, whenever I would think about my parents, and where they might be. It means that you shouldn’t think about these things too much. Those thoughts will get you down, and it’s best to not worry too much! You are probably the most kind-hearted person out of our whole group, but you worry too much. Krista, we will find your friend, no matter what, understand?
WHATTTT?! H-how is that even possible?!
(screams/yells, grunts, sounds of pain/confusion, laughs, etc)
Age 27
Shiro Amakusa is Mia Vance's (Vivian's sister who passed away) childhood friend, who joined the Dark Fangs out of envy towards Mia's successes. He joined on the basis that he wanted to prove to everyone that he can be just as good, if not better than Mia, and eventually, him joining the Dark Fangs lead to Mia's untimely death.
Heheheh… Such noble blood like hers does not deserve to live any longer. Soon, I will become the true leader of Namira Village, mark my words, Vivian… I will show you the true meaning of humiliation, and defeat!
And what makes you think that I will lose to you again?
Over the past year, I have been training, day-in, and day-out, meticulously formulating strategies to counter any possible outing that you might have against me. Thanks to the brilliance of the Dark Fangs, I am now in possession of your Sanctuary Fragments, as well the strength to beat you, and your little band of reject trainers into dust!
Age 14
Vivian is a Ninja from Namira Village. Throughout the story Vivian can be described as extroverted, silly, and extremely outgoing. Vivian possesses Ninja Techniques that other characters in the group do not, such as her Shadow Division Technique which allows for her to create a clone of herself to distract Trainers or Dark Fangs. She is also the quickest out of the entire party, and nearly being able to outspeed a bicycle. Despite her extremely outgoing and less than concentrated demeanor, she is actually very smart, especially when it comes to tinkering with technology.

Oh, shut up, it’s nothing like that, you little fur-ball! I’m going to teleport you both out of here with my Shadow Sneak ability. I’ll explain everything once we are a safe distance away.
Uh-huh, but not only that, my Frogadier finally evolved into Greninja, the most powerful Ninja Pokemon there is. Having your partner Pokémon evolve to its final form, in Namira Village, is a sign that you have become a Master Ninja, and there is no other Pokemon out there that is more widely respected than Greninja.
Hiyahhhh! Filthy, low-life, good-for-nothing pigs! How dare you! You stupid apes trespassed into MY village, and you are going to pay…!
(screams/yells, grunts, sounds of pain/confusion, laughs, etc)
Grunts of the Dark Fang organization.
Age and gender not important.
But, sir, our original orders had nothing to do with destroying Namira Village. Nero had plans of interrogating the Vance family for the location of the next Sanctuary, we can’t destroy Namira, just yet.
Sir, in all due-respect—
Well, again… it was only two of them – Vivian Vance and Vice Braving, my lord, and… they got away, but we were able to keep the fragments that we stole from them, before they could escape.
Age 13
Vice is an enigma of a character, in that he has no memories of who he is, or why he is in the Lumia Region in the first place. He generally comes off as quite calm and polite towards others, while expressing his displeasure at being nagged to end a conversation by his Eevee. He is the center point of the game's story, and is the character that opposes one of the Dark Fang Admins more frequently.
Voice type: Sean Schemmel-like.

Just keep doing what you’re doing; Vivian and I are going to be heading straight to Namira to clean up this whole mess! I am sure you know where Oblivion Forest is, right?
Heheh, I guess you guys are right. I honestly never thought that I would be as good as all of you, what with your special skills and techniques that I’ve never seen before.
No, it just sort of came to me all of a sudden… so bizarre. I just felt like I’ve been there before, and I don’t know why. Just suddenly, a whole wave of memories just came flooding back to me, and now I know where the Earth Sanctuary is located.
You’re telling me. When she first saw the passage to her village completely destroyed, she completely lost it. This is her calming down, very slightly though. In any case, we’ll keep you notified on how things are going.
...Huh? Where am I?
(screams/yells, grunts, sounds of pain/confusion, laughs, etc)
The ex-Champion of Lumia's beloved Eevee that has the ability to talk without the use of telepathy. It is unique in that it cannot evolve, but is one of few Eevee's to use the moves of it's evolved forms without evolving, itself. It's history is unknown as to why it is capable of talking, but more will become clear as the story progresses.
Voice type: very high pitched.

This isn’t good at all, Vice, we need to make our way to Namira Village as fast as possible!
Well, if you wanna travel to find the other Sanctuary, I think it would be best to take someone else with you. After all, things are only going to be getting harder from here on out, so take Krista with you.
Just about! The forest contains many strong bug-type Pokémon, and they are nothing like the bugs that we ran into on our way here. Also, the reason why it is called Oblivion Forest is because of a cave that apparently leads to another dimension. I visited it once before, but was unable to tell the tale of the legend.
Wh-what?!
I told him everything that happened eight-years ago, and since then he has been acting up. I just hope he is okay, and won’t do anything stupid.
Age 14
The older brother to Hiro Monochroma, Allan is more stoic-like and reserved compared to the rest of the group. Even though he possesses a cold and harsh demeanor, he does care very much about his sister, and will protect her at all costs. Allan is also very vengeful, being another one of the characters to hold a hate-filled grudge against the Dark Fangs, even going so far as to lose his cool to them when at the receiving end of Nero's power.
See Allan in these skits:

Just shut up for once! You destroyed my life, my family, everything that I once knew! How on earth could you possibly understand, what it feels like to lose all that?! Huh!? You Dark Fangs make me sick!
Nero... I'm going to crush you, the Dark Fangs, EVERYTHING! I'll make you pay for everything you've done!
I have long since closed my eyes from what lies people hold; I now watch over my sister, here in the Ancient City of the Timeless.
... Just what brings you here, to the City of the Timeless? I take it that you are not ordinary trainers to have made it here, just who are you...?
Age 33
A high ranking elite officer of the Dark Fangs. He is Vice's main Dark Fang opponent in his story mode and unlike Aria; does not stalk you wherever you go, including the restroom. He is methodical and cunning. But also unlike Aria, he is not as calm or reserved as Aria is. In fact, he is more brash and ruthless than Aria. Going so far as to doing anything for his Master Nero.
I see, very well, I will report to Nero as soon as possible. But, first, I am going to have these fragments sent to our Ocean Side Base for quick transportation. Hopefully Shiro doesn’t do anything reckless. These kids are made of tougher stuff than we originally anticipated, and that idiot has a bad tendency to lash out, and go about his own accord.
Aria, you hear that? It looks like you will have another opportunity to take on that heterochromatic, bratty child you seem so interested in.
Yes my lord, the plan worked out, just as planned. I present to you, the Fairy Fragment.
Right to the point, as always, eh? I have to admit, sneaking into this castle was pretty easy. Those lousy guards… just what is the Duke paying them, anyways?
