discord server!!
Hey guys it’s Rui! I forgot to mention this but me and SQPD have created a PXI: Press X to Interact discord server!! feel free to join our community!! :)
DISCLAIMER!! - Press X to Interact does not belong to me (aka Rui), this belongs to my dear best friend SQUIP, I will link their Instagram! I am just creating this project on CCC just to help them find people to voice act their OCs! Please go check their page and support them, their artwork and PXI series, in general, are amazing! You can also find more info about PXI at https://www.instagram.com/superquantumpus5ydestr0yer/ !!
WHAT IS PXI: PRESS X TO INTERACT ABOUT?
Press X to Interact" follows Ludis Varishikov, a boy who felt like life had forsaken him since the beginning. A messy divorce between his parents left his mother devoid of life or care, forcing young Ludis to find new ways of supporting them. One fated day, he meets Jon. The two kids are so different yet find themselves understanding each other more than anybody else. They become inseparable for years, one thing leading to another, and eventually a fatal incident brings the end of their innocent friendship. Now they're in high school, and the two are forced to meet again. It's awkward and strange, but their relationship quickly feels like nothing changed at all.... Press X to Interact, or PXI, plays on character stereotypes and story cliches with a dark/comedic twist. It has everything! Teenage substance-abusing, sexual content, queerness, blood, gore, timeloops, and more!
PXI: Press X to Interact is a planned to develop video game! As of right now, only comics are being created which is what you will be voice-acting.
This project is completely for fun as of now, we want voice actors who can be flexible with things because the comics have unexpected upload dates and come out whenever!
We are not paying anybody as of now!
WARNING - You will have to scream, yell, curse, and voice sensitive subjects! This series contains a lot of topics, more mature if anything, if you cannot handle mature and sensitive topics (in both a joking and serious manner), then it is advised you shouldn't sign up.
We will need a way to contact you whether that'd be Discord or Instagram! Please leave either or both in your audition description!
More roles can be released if needed!
This project is 16+
Requirements - Please have a decent mic with minimal to no background noise!
YOU CAN AUDITION FOR AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU WANT!!

Hi guys! We have casted our Ludis! Don't worry, we have more open roles! (and possibly new ones?) We highly appreciate everyone that auditioned for Ludis, we really enjoyed listening to all of them!
Hey guys, SQUIP and I have been looking at your auditions so far. You guys are killin' it! Also, we've extended the due date! (Jan 18)
Hey guys! Squip and I just updated all of the character descriptions so you guys know how are like!
Also, they're releasing some art soon and it will be posted on the character profile pictures!
Ludis is the protagonist in PXI. He is monotone and aloof but gets worked up quite easily, making him unpredictable and even destructive at times. He has a "no bullshit" attitude and little patience with many things, so you'd usually find him sporting an annoyed/bored tone. Though, he does have a playful side. Ludis bears a lot of troubles hiding under the surface, many of them being the main focus of the storyline.
"Why do you keep following me!? Leave me alone!"
"Shut up dude, you’re always saying weird shit like that… shut up…" (annoyed)
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU ARE YOU SERIOUSLY EATING THAT!?" (screaming/concerned)
Jon is the deuteragonist of PXI. He's kind, optimistic, and honest to a fault. Jon always tries to see the bright side of things even if the awful truth is glaring in his face, making him look quite gullible and naive to other people. He's more aware than people think but puts on a cheery front.
The carefree attitude he presents can make him seem mysterious and almost unsettling at times.
"Ludis, look at that branch. Do you think it’s cool?"
"It's okay, getting stabbed just feels like getting a shot at the doctor's office!" (jolly)
"Hey! That's not a very nice thing to say!"
Alise is a side character in PXI. She's another character with a "no bullshit" attitude, but her's stems from mainly irritation, not insecurity. She's observant, insightful, and her words can definitely cut deep. But when the time calls for it, she's genuine and easygoing. Her unapproachable persona isn't there for no reason, the people around her are pretty annoying.

"Are you serious right now...?"
"Go ahead and leave with your little boyfriend, I don't care."
"I miss when AURORA would braid my hair..."
Dante is one of the side characters in PXI. He's obnoxious and crass, known as the "designated party guy" to most. (Meaning, everyone just goes to his house whenever they host a party.) Despite how wild and downright corny he is, he knows when to stop. The Dante underneath all the gaudy clothes and vulgar language is surprisingly normal. He cherishes the people he's closest with and can be quite personable if he chooses to be.
Dante is also a closeted homosexual.

"Let's get this party started, baby!" (excited)
"I wish that I was gay sometimes so that I can kiss you right now!" (joking, he's drunk)
"Man, if XAVIER were here he woulda beat the crap outta me."
Jameson, also known as James, or JJ (he calls himself that), is your stereotypical dumb jock. He's also ridiculously obnoxious and crass, not because he's trying to project some kind of image, but because he's just that stupid. His ignorance to other people and things in general can make him act extremely cruel. When he is scolded for his behavior (very rare occurrence), he backs down very easily. He's a pussy

"Hey JON, spell I-CUP... EW YOU SEE ME PEE?!"
"If I had to pay you like double of $20, would that be like... $80?"
"AMANDA can be a total BITCH sometimes... I mean I even get scared myself man!"
Amanda is a stereotypical mean girl. Always very loud and quick to anger, she yells at people when things don't go her way. She's constantly trying to assert her dominance. In actuality, she's really the opposite of all that. Hysterical, sensitive, and quick to obey. Her true nature comes out pretty easily.
use this as a reference! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKg8o6l2kng&ab_channel=2023PerfectDark (mainly her yelling lines)
"JJ, stop being such a FUCKING cunt and DO IT ALREADY!!" (angry)
"A-ABI, he did it, not me!" (scared)
"GOD, who was even talking to you!"
Abi is the stereotypical nice girl. Truly the model of perfection, she's soft, nice, and speaks quite gently. You can always spot her trying to break up fights between her friends and terrified outsiders. All of that is a lie though, she's pretty terrible. Behind the delicate exterior, she's very quick to anger when people act up. Many of her "kind words" are just veiled insults, and she's aware of that. Compared to her friends, she's surprisingly always the one in charge.

"Maybe losers are humans too, MANDY... like LUDIS!"
"AMANDA, maybe you stop should screaming for once so your boyfriend would wanna be around you."
"L-E-G-A-C-Y! What does that spell? LE-GA-CY!" (this is a cheer line)
(Some of the comics are centered around Ludis's childhood so that's why they're separate roles hehe) Ludis as a child is almost polar opposite to his current self. He is (or was) super talkative and always eager to interact with others. He's very purehearted and spends a lot of his time wishing that things were different. And he likes to play!

"SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! YOU'RE JUST—"
"Is that you? I'm sorry for storming off earlier..."
"Your mom will kill me if you go home sick...." (bashful/shy)
Jon as a child is also, almost polar opposite to his current self. He speaks flatly and his face rarely makes visible facial expressions. Very different from how a child should be. He doesn't seem to understand many things but he's always curious to know more.

"What about you? Aren't you going to be cold?"
"That's not true. My mom told me."
"I'll see you tomorrow."
(For context, the SWAP AU is basically where Ludis and Jon's upbringings/circumstances are swapped, so in turn their characters and entire personalities are switched around. Made purely for fun and out of boredom but comics will be made about them too for sure.) SwapLudis always appears to be perfect. Never a single hair out of place. He's very charismatic and says things only to boost other people's opinions of him. Underneath the big eyes and practiced smiles, he hides something truly sinister. His voice would be a bit higher pitched than Ludis normally, effeminate in a way.
he's like jon if he was evil
"He's a very dear friend of mine!"
"You're just a dirty little pervert, aren't you Jon? You should be ashamed" (Teasing hes not actually mad)
"You know I can get you charged with harrassment for doing that, right?"
SwapJon is Jon if he was just a random dude. He seems to always be getting roped into things and gets flustered pretty easily. He's usually closed off and apprehensive.
"....I don't know who that is. Stop asking me."
"W–What?!? You don't even know what that means!!"
"Um... I guess we can do that."
