Rival-Gates: Mission 6 Prologue
Project Overview
Rival-Gates is a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 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 Mission 6's prologue we are making a video that may potentially be broken into parts for a more gradual release. We're aiming for full voice work like the last update, and we're only in need of a few new characters this time around. We're asking the members of the community or folks just looking for some fun if they'd like to volunteer and lend their voices to this update!

Thank you all to everyone who has applied! The Rival Gates team is reviewing all the submissions and will begin reaching out to folks shortly. The production of the update has already been started with preliminary work, but we are expecting the finalized script to be available closer to the end of January when member input is over and the course of the story is fully realized. Before we make any final calls we will be reaching out to make sure schedules and availability have not changed for those who applied. If you get a message from us that means you’re our current first choice so keep an eye out for that! Thank you again for all the volunteers willing to help us out! We’re excited to have folks join us as we continue with our sixth year of Rival-Gates content.
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.
We're looking to try and recast Jay one more time! This is a lead role and Jay will be in every update to come, so if you'd like to come along with us for that time, we'd really appreciate it!
(Cheery) What? That’s nonsense! Nothing this old seasoned pro can’t handle!
(Angry & Distraught) What was that?! Why did you all just LEAVE?!
(Defeated) Fine. Okay. Whatever you say.
Adult. Deep, wizened, gentle. Possibly with a vague sense of drowsiness, like they've missed out on sleep. A character who knows all that has happened in the past and will happen in the future. This role may evolve in nature if you are willing to reprise your role for future updates, but for now The Narrator is simply the narrator for our upcoming update.
The energy writhed in their sockets, clinging to the stone of their face before it finally lost its grip and faded. The statues were unmoving, cold. Whatever it was that once burned fiercely within them was gone.
Nuri's flames sputtered in her breath. The heatmor was used to being called many things, but never that.
Tiva jumped over the rope and landed with a little twirl onto the back of the Lapris. To be honest, it was kind of cute.
Ma'hauli is a newer leader, but is definitely not lacking in confidence. She's a jock type, and enjoys a good spar. Her town loves and admires her for her strength and she is willing to display it publicly and with pleasure. Despite everything, it doesn't seem like she's after glory or fame, but instead trains and works hard for her village. She's really trying to do what's right for her people, but is still maturing. She should sound like someone who has the capacity to get loud often and as needed, but is still definitely charismatic in her own right. Potentially rough around the edges as she fights with purpose.
She'll be in the next few updates past Mission 6 so we'd appreciate a volunteer who would be willing to voice her for a few projects.
(Surprised) I haven't seen your lot about? Are we overdo a visit or something?
(Thrilled) Come on! Hit me again! I can take it!
(Friendly) Oh! A swing and a miss! Better luck next time, champ.
Volley is cheerful and a little boisterous - a sportsy character who likes games and regards everyone as a colleague/teammate. When you're on team Volley, she'll treat you right! She should likely have a peppy voice or an energetic one. Enthused and ready to greet the day. Win or lose a game she'll likely be just fine.
She will appear in the next few updates, so we'd appreciate it if whoever applies would join us again if we make another video.
(Peppy) That must have been one tough time! Need a refreshment or a snack after all that?
(Quizzical) So they're just out there nabbing them too, huh? That can't be good.
(Supportive/Peppy) What's ours is yours! Although, you should probably ask first. Lot of hard hitters out there, don't want to rustle any feathers too bad!
Adult. Strict, loud, sometimes sounds bitter. Comes from a warrior's past and expects perfection from others. This update in particular she will have a lot to say.
(Cold and Stern) That should answer your question, shouldn’t it? Or are you really so thick as to forget what the purpose of Rift City’s guild partnership is?
(Incredibly Angry/Stern) JAY, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT OR I WILL SHUT IT FOR YOU!!
(Snappy) That is not our concern, Tiva! Whether or not Asteria City was or continues to be a corrupt state is not for Mayor Izel or your guilds to decide.
Young-adult, slightly monotone - an attitude like she's bored with everything and/or emo "nobody understands me" energy. Not just an angsty teen - she's clever and keeps her eyes open.
(Annoyed) Don't waste anymore time. We need to leave.
(Cold and Angry) Get away from her.
Berwyn
Elderly and Wisened
This character owns a library which doubles as a research center for the country. He is extremely knowledgeable and happy to share his records with anyone who wants to learn.
For this recording, he will be a bit exhausted since his hometown and library were threatened with destruction.
(heartbroken) "The damage done to Neve Town was... catastrophic. I estimate it will take years to fully rebuild."
(pleased) "Without a doubt, things could have turned out much worse than they have. Your contribution to protecting Neve is much appreciated."
(exhausted/stern) "I truly hope that whatever Konjac hoped to discover in those tunnels, it was worth the stress that came along with his research."
We will likely have a place for a handful of extras. The admins would usually voice these kinds of things ourselves, but if you want a low key way to help this will be it! Feel free to apply here and we will reach out to folks with extras!
(Residents of Villages- Feel free to improvise!)
What can we do for you?
I'll be sure to get you there safe and sound.
(Man Made Pokémon- blunt and utilitarian. Feel free to improvise!)
Welding in progress.
Please stay a safe distance away from the active work zone.
Warning. Surface is electrified. Caution is advised.
(Guild Members - Feel free to improvise!)
Nuri, we're tired.
Why does any of this need to happen?
