Rival-Gates: Job 6 Prologue
Project Overview
Rival-Gates is a PMD themed story telling group that follows two rival guilds as they attempt to out do the other in a journey of mystery and hardship. Members decide the fates of the guilds through their stories and participation. For Job 6's prologue we are making a few visual novels broken into parts for a more gradual release. This time around, we'd like to try full voice work, but since the admin team isn't large enough to cover the whole cast, we're asking the members of the community or strangers just looking for some fun if they'd like to volunteer and lend their voices to this update!

Deadline has been reached!
We will accept any last minute auditions that might come in today, but we wanted to thank everyone for the interest!! We got enough auditions to cover every role which is fantastic! The admin team will be reviewing everyone’s auditions this weekend to select who we would like to play each part. We will contact everyone to let them know if they have been selected or not, but either way were incredibly grateful to those who’d be willing to lend their voice to our little project. C’ya all again real soon!
Jay is rash and quick at everything he does, including his temper, which has been known to explode. When he's not blowing his short fuse, he's a happy, excitable fellow who refuses to lose! Especially to his rival, the leader of the Ardent Cinders guild, Nuri.
What? That’s nonsense! Nothing this old seasoned pro can’t handle!
Shut up!! It’s not like you weren’t doing stuff too!
In fact, some of our guild members actual saw Verana there! It was like they were working together.
Cool and collected, Nuri thinks her moves out carefully before she makes them. Though mostly appearing mild in temper, she can be known to be passive aggressive, especial in matters involving her rival, Jay.
You have? Then I take it Jay and his ilk were successful at rescuing her.
I’m so sorry Esther that we had to waste so much time on Jay’s deplorable partner.
Wait, why does it feel like this isn’t news to you?
Physically, he may appear a friendly bear who wouldn’t do anything worse than give you a noogie like a loving uncle, but the fact is that Gus views everything as a game to be won and everyone around him as a token piece that should either be used or discarded. His knack for charming and sweet-talking someone (while he silently gauges how useful they might be to him) covers a complete lack of empathy - whether or not someone gets hurt while he pursues his goals is unimportant. .
It was a pleasure playing with you, no matter how brief our game ended up being. Farewell!
Now, now! None of that sort of talk here.
A bit late for that my sweet.
Glitch is a peculiar automaton found by the Roaring Icebergs guild. Not much has been learned since being brought back up to the surface, but unlike it's Porygon-Z companion, Twitch, it actually has some means of communication -- albeit cryptic communication at best.
Please note that Glitch's voice will receive an effect overlay to make it sound more computer generated. The emotional range is a bit more limited for this character, but they can fluctuate under extreme circumstances. There is also a moment where no modifications will be used and Glitch will speak in a more organic way,
I don’t understand! Why do they want us here? Why can’t we just go home?
Total memory recall failed. My apologies.
People... are in the way. Additional activity detected behind us. Caution is advised.
Izel tries to keep a calm and collected persona about her, but is known to get snappy with the guilds of her city who act on her behalf to handle problems that need immediate attention. She takes her job rather seriously which doesn't leave much room for fun and relaxation. The stress is mostly what drives her to snappiness, but she does care deeply for her city and for her friends. Some also see her as a bit single minded, willing to ignore or bulldoze over certain facts in her pursuit of her goals.
I don’t understand you! Please just- what are you!? Who are you!?
This has to be it! This has to be what that thing was talking about.
Finally. What took you two so long? It’s been days without any contact.
Even as a youngster, Ebony was a fiery girl with a drive to lead and the force of will to have things match her own personal standards. While she was always acting in the best interests of everyone involved, her attitude would often come off as selfish and made her frustrating to deal with, save for one Shelmet who quickly became her closest friend.
Can’t say I’m completely thrilled that her actions had to come to light like this.
Oh for heaven's sake!
*Sigh* Another day in Asteria. Alright, I'm heading out.
Ezra is a polite and reserved Accelgor and is the third leader of Asteria’s Pale Roses guild, head of the city’s finances.
Despite his stern appearance, Ezra is a kind-hearted, patient ‘mon with a great listening ear. He also has a sense of humor that’s usually overlooked or not appreciated by his colleagues, consisting mainly of money puns. He’s most at peace when it’s raining and can usually be found outside when dreary weather hits.
We had written off a lot of these missing assets, thinking it was the fault of our fellow clients or crooks, but now I see we’ve had one in our midst this whole time.
Good luck Ebony. Once you’re finished, please meet with me. We have a lot of work ahead of us.
We have some excellent medics in Asteria.
While not a good-time fellow, he prefers socializing and interacting with citizens on a personal level over working as mayor. This, doubled with his senior age, has made him such a relaxed individual that it's not uncommon to find him asleep even in the strangest places. Generally chipper in demeanor and tone.
It can and it is! I hope you’ve been keeping well Ebony dear. You look awfully stressed.
Hello my fine fellows! I have returned!
And may I say I am not happy with the treatment!
Esther as a ‘mon is incredibly ambitious, suave, and in general lively. Esther whether intentionally or not often finds themself in center of attention and is quite the eccentric speaker. Pokemon just seem to be drawn to their charisma although Esther themself will tell you they prefer a few good friends over many acquaintances. As loyal as they are lively, Esther will never abandon their friends, especially Izel. More than anything else though, Esther just wants their life to be interesting and is ecstatic to be joining the guilds of Rift City as they travel.
Going to stop you there Jay. And Nuri, please be an adult.
Alright, that’s better.
You know the drill, please lay down for me.
Despite his older age, Barrik is still quite lively and willing to go to great lengths to protect his town. Most have come to know Barrik as the jolly gentlemen that he is and often have no trouble befriending the larger than life fighter. Even as a Snover, Barrik spent his youth conquering all that nature had to offer and meeting interesting people. Over time he grew into a very passionate leader who would often find the most astounding ways to solve problems using only his fists and bravado.
Why Gloria me dear, I think we should listen to the chaps.
Oh! So you’ve made some progress on your quest?
Well I’m getting on in years my boy!
Gloria is infamous in Neve for how quickly she was able to wiggle her way into their world. She appeared one day from the forests of Iclyn and was soon found tailing Barrik wherever he would go. She was very loud and demanding, making fun of others faults and features quickly and often without remorse. Most found her unpleasant and many regarded her with respect out of fear of her wrath. Gloria idolizes Barrik's energy and life and Barrik hopes he can help Gloria put her formidable attitude to good use. Now a days she can be seen riding atop Barrik’s head, often contrasting his well mannered behavior by chipping in with snarky remarks and cynical inputs.
Of course I’m Gloria! What are you, stupid?
That’s one tall tell you’ve got there bub.
Uuuuuugh, I guess!
A Wartortle with a childish, bully like demeanor. His favorite past times include name calling and making threats. Currently works under Gus to carry out kidnappings and robberies.
Aren't you supposed to be the fast one?
Just try and keep up with us, idiot!
Energetic with a love for mischief, Crest currently works for Gus, using her ability to float to spy and cause mayhem. She treats most things like they're harmless pranks or games, but she's been known to seriously hurt Pokemon.
Thanks for opening the arch by the way!
A partner in crime to the shady leader of Asteria. She prefers to keep to the shadows, but has just as bad as a temper as Pandora when angry.
If you don’t shut your trap, I’ll shut it for you!
If I ever get my hands on that bird, she’s dead.
