I've gone ahead and added another role; as well as that, I'm in the process of accepting certain roles I'm 100% certain about.
The Realm Guardians is a multimedia ARG that uses mostly audios that have been 'recorded' on old VHS tapes, which feature the members discussing to one another. These are the Founders of the Realm Guardians, the main 10 who began this mission and company, and are very important roles that need to be played multiple times. Activity varies, some scripts come slower than others, but these roles are permanent.
The founder of the realm guardians, known as Saturnus, believes in paving the pathway for a future in which mortals do not have to fear the things they love being ripped away from them, to live without fear of being cut short of the blessing which is called life. Saturnus, after years of existence, gathered 9 other individuals willing to follow the path he created with his heart. Some say the 10 founders are all gods, others say they are simply humans with longer lives. Rumors stir around the 10 founders, and yet it cannot be denied that each and every one of them holds such high importance to the safety of a universe filled with life to be cherished.
When asked about the 10 founders, most realm guardians will refer to them in the highest manner of respect like mentors or teachers, and the others tend to refer to them similar to how one would refer to friends or family. Though the 10 founders do not enforce respect upon their name, it seems that they have done enough to have earned respect throughout the entire universe.
I've gone ahead and added another role; as well as that, I'm in the process of accepting certain roles I'm 100% certain about.
A new video / trailer has been published for the Realm Guardians project. Please have a look if you're interested.
As for the Deadline; it isn't strict, and is subject to change as needed if roles are not filled in time. Thank you for your patience.
Saturnus, the founder, is an immortal being which represents Saturn, one who has lost the concept of time and knows only of the feeling of passion and interest towards mortals and their lives in realms. Saturnus used to be more commonly spotted wandering realms, but now he spends most of his days in the main headquarters of the Realm Guardians, handling backstage matters for the realm guardians. Though, he never runs out of passion regardless; a good spar brings a spark back in his eyes, and his love for humanity and its beauty is unshakeable.
[Pronounced as sat-urn-nis]
A calm, almost ethereal voice; light and as if you're speaking to a spirit more than a person. Referenced voice recommendations are Howell from Bee and Puppycat, but feel free to experiment. May add an echo to the voice, or a slight reverb.
[Stern, making the final decision, but calm] There's no argument you can give me to change my mind. There is a chance we can save them, and its a chance we're going to take.
[Jokingly, a bit teasing] You mortals certainly act like you're immortal.
[Calm, albeit a bit melancholic] There's nothing more we can do, then. We've tried. That alone is our duty as Realm Guardians.
Enceladus, considered the co-founder, was the first to stand behind Saturnus' idea, and was the one who continuously spread the will of the realm guardians to crowds, even if their charming words would fell on deaf ears. Though, with their sly smile and charisma, their passion and their carefully picked words, they caught the attention of many. They tend to be the one behind the scenes where Saturnus cannot attend to, cleaning up messier situations so Saturnus can focus on running the realm guardians. In most cases, Enceladus will be in charge of legal matters, since they have such a way with words that most legal matters are solved in less than 12 hours in simpler cases, less than 24 hours in longer cases.
[Pronounced as En-sel-uh-duhs]
A cheerful, loud individual with a passion for public speaking, albeit still someone who can take things seriously. A voice with some energy to it; no voice for reference, but think of them as a Ted Talker that needs to keep attention with a raised voice, with a slight tang to their voice.
[Convincing, attempting to charm] Why not join our cause, then? You like helping out, right? Well, I've got just the job for you then!
[Lax, albeit a little firm] I wouldn't back down on my word so easily, would I? You've got a lot of work to do in convincing me.
[More stern, but still slightly playful] So? Are you going to do it, or should I step in and take the wheel?
Anthe and Aegaeon, the two twins who were the first to join the realm guardians after Enceladus were successfully able to recruit them, act as the two scholars. The two are complete opposites, Aegaeon is described to be as calm as the waters and as cold as ice. Aegaeon is more content with documenting calmer tales of meetings and everyday occurence, or else he becomes overwhelmed.
[Pronounced as Ae-gee-onh]
A very cold and neutral voice, very monotone albeit still relaxed, not stiff perse. Moreso just being serious about his job. Todoroki Shoto's JP voice as point of reference; he cares about his job, but it requires some sort of neutrality.
[Cold, without flinching] Lower your voice. You can't expect me to track this with your yelling in the background.
[Commanding] I'm going to need you to focus, put in everything you've got into this one, alright?
[Monotone, but still joking] You're certain you won't get bored, Anthe?
Anthe and Aegaeon, the two twins who were the first to join the realm guardians after Enceladus were successfully able to recruit them, act as the two scholars. The two are complete opposites, Anthe often being known for her firey attitude and passionate verbiage. Anthe seems to be more interested in dealing with files and documentations on wars and battles, otherwise she becomes bored.
[Pronounced as An-thee]
A very cheerful voice, she's excited to be here, and she's very vocal about what she wants. However, she can always go quieter, and tends to mutter sometimes when she's thinking. Puts more emphasis on her emotions through voice; point of reference is Aura's JP voice from Frieren.
[Scoffing, a bit full of herself] Well I, personally, would have won a battle like that.
[Surprisingly serious, slightly quieter, as if in thought] No, that won't work. If you did that, then you'll repeat history.
[Responding, slight sass] Oh please, Aegaeon, you'd start crying if I wasn't here to do it!
Atlas is oldest member and the most reluctant joiner of the realm guardians, a retired ship captain who had no more of his crew, was convinced by Saturnus to give life his passion one more chance. Having now rebuilt a crew of those who need the thrill of venture, Atlas doesn't stay in one place for very long, and travels out into other realms on a ship which cruises the universe's greatest stars, earning himself the role of navigator. He tends to be the one to discover new realms and inform the other founders of them. When he does stay longer for things such as meetings, the other founders describe him as an old sea dog with a blank face, and strict words that sting, but mean well.
[Pronounced as At-less]
Gruff, calm and put together, but a bit lazy; he has a slight slur to his words like he's been drinking, but it's like he's always got a cigarette in his mouth more like it. Voice of reference is Hank from Detroit: Become Human, specifically when he's calmer.
[Scoff, then sarcastic] You just never run out of ideas, do you?
[Calling out, commanding] Ay, raise the sail! We need to act now.
[Tired, relaxed] If you're outta things to do, you could always grab me some rum from the cellar.
Daphnis was once a 'chosen' one to a prophecy that foretold she would be the savior of her realm, and she fought until the world and her body forced her down. Now that she is free of the prophecy, she has settled down, but not all entirely. She often oversees the training of newer recruits, and commonly mentors some of the best frontline Realm Guardians to this date, making sure each of them know the ins and outs of a good fight. Though she may seem tough on the outside, her hearty laugh and strong pats on the shoulder tell a tale of someone who is glad to be able to settle down like this.
[Pronounced Daf-niss]
She has a very strong, booming voice; she commands easily, and her natural volume is some people's raised voice. Yet when she needs to, she gets extremely serious; she knows how to read a room very quickly, and she knows when to act. Voice of Reference is Agnes Tachyon from Umamusume.
[Laughing heartily, then responding with energy] Don't get tired just yet; we're only just getting started!
[More serious, planning carefully] If we go too front forward, we risk being pinched; we need to come from the side.
[Close to angry, but holding herself back] Listen, genius; your entire world is on the verge of collapsing. If you don't move, that's blood on your hands. Got it?
Janus was a lonesome witch, who lived deep in enchanted forests in fear after a thousand years of war that lost her many of her people, but her mind was quickly changed when the Realm Guardians approached her forest without weaponry, and instead held out their hands for her to join their cause. Janus is a peaceful and rather calm healer who tends and oversees to the wounded or sickly whenever realms become stricken with horrible instances. The woods often whisper to her when something has gone awry, and she is often the first to pinpoint where with her potent magic abilities.
[Pronounced as Jan-uhs]
She has a very soft and deep, calm voice, almost motherly, very warm and comforting. Though, sometimes, they get a little more excited. Voice of reference is Rose from Steven Universe.
[Concerned, trying to help] If you keep moving like that, you'll reopen your wounds. Let me take a look.
[Curious] Do you think I should bring a few extra herbs for this mission? Maybe just one or two spare bags?
[Joyful, in the middle of laughing] Oh please, there's no need to flatter me like that!
Pandora was once a keeper of a small library, hiding ancient relics in the basement, until her realm was attacked, and her library was luckily saved by the relam guardians, who she repaid tenfold by joining them are their keeper. Handling all issues regarding finances in both building damage repair, compensation costs and legal fees, Pandora also handles the distribution and collection of ancient relics. Her collection consists of relics that are both out of commission and far too dangerous to be in any hands, and relics that are often used as weaponry or safety measures by the other guardians. She is quiet in her work, and prefers to be alone in her library, but she is one of the greatest without a doubt.
[Pronounced as Pan-door-ah]
A calm voice, slightly deeper than usual. She's usually very serious, and her comedy can read off as genuine; so she opts often for sarcasm. Voice of reference is Manhattan Cafe from Umamusume.
[Steady, like she's doing work while responding] You're in here at a bad time, then. Come back later.
[Instructing, extremely stern] I'm trusting you with this item. If it breaks, I'm going to kill you.
[Sarcastic, trying to be humorous] Yes, absolutely bring this relic back in pieces to me. I'm sure I'll be very happy.
Iapetus was the final member of the founders, who became their go-to person for when it came down to personal files about each realm guardian, after his return from what he believed was the end. Though he appears to be the youngest, he does not seem to have much life personality wise, and is often described similar to a ghost, appearing and vanishing out of thing air wherever he pleases. He has keen eyes, and is usually the one to spot realm guardians even without files, both those who have been officially recognized as realm guardians, and those whose role has yet to be given to them. He has deep regrets he is attempting to make up for by playing his role in the Realm Guardians.
[Pronounced as ai-ah-puh-tus]
A very shy voice, like he's always mumbling or he has more to say but can't say it. They're very hesitant, like they're afraid of making a mistake, and almost talk like a ghost through a ouija board, making sure each word comes out slightly steady. No voice of reference.
[Hesitant] But if we do that... won't we risk losing that relic you wanted?
[Surprised, guilty of being caught] Ah! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sneak up behind you like that...!
[Quiet, slightly intimidating, steadier than usual] You've entered the wrong domain. Please turn around; I don't want to have to kill you.
"Atakan," a man not even defined under his real name, is a mysterious individual known in the Realm Guardians as a shadow of the founders. It is rumored he was offered a position at the table of the founders, and he turned it down with little interest. He prefers to do things on his own, and typically works alone; however, he exclusively deals with melee weapons, and shows no concern about learning or wielding ranged. Though he is quiet, he has an edge and charm to him that makes him undeniably a great Realm Guardian, and surprisingly, a better teacher. However, he picks and chooses his students carefully.
[Pronounced as ah-tah-Kahn]
"Atakan" is someone who is very calm, even when saying the craziest of things, because he's apparently 'always seen crazier.' He's more like you're talking to a favorite teacher. Referenced voice recommendation is Baizhu's Japanese voice from Genshin Impact.
For first line, pronounce the name as Kazu-yu-key
[Calm, informative] Don't worry too much over it now, Kazuyuki. Worst case scenario, we can always use Blackmail.
[Clearly in a rush, trying to avoid escalating a situation] Well, look at the time! Oh, we need to go back home and finish our... sudoku!
[More serious, slightly eerie] For someone so insistent on attack, you aren't very good with your blade. What a shame that is.
