I've had an idea to turn School Bus Graveyard into a playable game. My vision for the game is to base it off how the Telltale games work. Sort of like a free-roam RPG. I want it to feature a chapter system, with different episodes/acts. However, this will not change the storyline, as it takes from the original story and only executes it in a playable format. Please keep in mind that this is my first large-scale project and I am not used to working in teams. I also have an issue with wording things, so please bear with me.
hey guys, i'd like to mention that i've added three new roles to audition for. Ben Clark, Ryan and Extras. i completely forgot to Ben and Ryan (Ryan was forgotten due to his lack of appearance in season one of the official comic and Ben due to his lack of lines because of his voice). feel free to audition!
hello! thank you all so much for 200 auditions, i'm very surprised and happy this project got so much recognition! seeing this amount made me genuinely smile. i will start listening to auditions a week before the deadline hits! that's may 12th 😋
Aiden is boisterous, outgoing, and is shown to talk for the sake of talking regardless of if anyone else is listening. He isn't afraid to call others out, not always tactfully, most notably with Tyler. Due to his upbringing and moving around often, he doesn't have exceptional interpersonal skills and doesn't always understand boundaries. He is known to take needless risks and enjoy thrills.

If she said anything, would you have even believed her? With your personality, I seriously doubt it.
We gotta pick our schedules... up? (laughs) She's fast!
Ben is a quiet boy. He seems to have a good heart, often caring for his friends. Ben used to be known as a gentle giant who loved to sing. However, that changed after Shane, one of Ben's bullies, choked him to the point of voice box damage. After this incident, he became selectively mute and got into street fighting to tale out the anger he has for Shane, which eventually led to him fighting (And winning) against a boy related to a gang member. Due to this, he and his family ended up in danger- Which caused Ben to have to move in with his cousin's family. He can roughly speak, he just dislikes his voice, so he doesn't. He tends to listen to music often, enjoying it, whilst also attempting to avoid anything that may trigger trauma or an anger meltdown.

It's best to have these types of things out in the open if we're going to be a team.
...Why are you telling me this?
At a surface level, Tyler is abrasive, harsh, and sarcastic. Later on, he gets character development throughout the series, an example being taking care of his sister and caring about his friends group. He is shown to have a soft spot for his sister and looks out for her. He is quite protective of the people he cares for, a key example being Taylor. He is very uncomfortable with showing his soft side from a possible fear of being hurt or left behind.

I'm Tyler Hernandez, yes, we're twins. I'm in the baseball club.
Well maybe if you would have told us the truth from the beginning, we wouldn't be stuck at all!
If you guys want to waste your time spouting nonsense, go right for it. I'm going to bed.
Taylor is shown to be bubbly, kind, and good with her words. She is quite attentive and looks out for those she cares for, especially Tyler, whom she dotes on without fail but does occasionally criticize. She is also often seen comforting other characters such as Ben Clark and Logan Fields. She does not need to be close to someone to empathize or worry about them, a trait shown by her care of Ashlyn's well-being prior to the two becoming friends. Though Taylor is commonly seen as compassionate, the care she holds for those such as her brother can occasionally lead her to excessive hostility.

Logan is shown to be very timid, and not very fond of risk taking. He's quite socially awkward and doesn't know how to stand up for himself, which led to him being manipulated by and then bullied by Barron. However, after realizing that the phantoms were much scarier, he later builds up the courage to confront Barron. Logan enjoys astronomy a lot.

Maverick is a cold and ruthless individual who is willing to do anything to achieve his mysterious objectives. He seems to be detached from everyone, not caring about anything that happens to the people around him, having no reaction to the previous boss of the facility falling into a coma and not even caring about her sister being shot. His smile, while friendly on the surface, hides his true, cruel intentions toward the people he is speaking with, but he is not exempt from moments of rage. Under the disguise of Mr. Thomas, he keeps an eye on the SBG Group alongside the members of his cult.

A group cancelled their tour last minute and now we have some empty spots if you guys are interested.
If the boss thinks they're important, then they're important to the 'cause' as well.
You're getting annoying. How many times to I have to repeat myself? I led her to the rift, she interacted with it, I saw it physically open large enough to drag the other kids inside too, then they just walked out like nothing happened and the rift was permanently closed.
He seems abrasive and expressive, screaming about Ashlyn's "Super hearing" when she keeps catching him whilst he's trying to spy on the group when we first meet him. However, he is seen to appear calmer and more nervous when we meet him again in Episode 44, and more nervous/scared in Episode 76 of the official comic.
That was the eleventh time she almost caught me! What kind of super-hearing does she have?! I can't even get close enough to listen to them without the redhead hearing me first!
Barron is an ill-tempered, abusive, and cruel individual. Supremely self-centered and results oriented, Barron seems care little about how about his desired outcome comes about, as long as it does. Emotionally manipulating others to do his school work for him in order to stay on the school’s baseball team. When preying on nerds, he first feigns friendship with the target and asks them for help with his homework. And should that tactic lose it's effectiveness, he is not above resorting to physically and verbally assaulting them. During the latter stage, he escalates his abuses when they prioritize their work over his own, the work they do for him earns below an 80, or fails to make it to the deadline.
