The world of Luxen is one of Magic... though it wasn't always this way. It used to be a peaceful world. One of joy, harmony, trade... until a few thousand years ago, when for reasons now lost to time... magic appeared. This magic split itself into 20 different types depending on the personality of the individual. Seven of these were the called the sinful magic types, those being Lust, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Wrath, Pride, Gluttony. Another 7 of them were called the virtuous magic types, which were Hope, Prudence, Fortitude, Faith, Justice, Charity, and Temperance. The final 6 were coined the combination magics, thought to occur when the sinful and virtuous traits mixed, and these 6 types were called Transparency, Hate, Love, Deceit, Restraint, and Curse. Each of these Magic Types came with their own special powers and abilities, and over time the world would slowly adapt to their existence. This is what led Luxen to become what it is today: A continent comprised of 21 different regions. 20 of them were representative of a specific Magic Type, while the last one was the capital, ruled by the individual considered to be the strongest across all of Luxen... though that wasn't all there was.
As well as the powers granted by one's Magic Type, each person also exhibited powers that did seem to be truly random. These 'random' powers would be dubbed the Unique Ability and Magic Weapon, which could do practically anything. The only caveat was that the powers of Magic Weapons had to be held within a conduit that each particular individual could create. The world ended up deciding that while it was important to train the powers of your Magic Type, your true place in society would be decided by the strength of your Unique Ability and Magic Weapon. This led to Luxen becoming a world dependent on strength. Those in power didn't just command others to protect them, they had the power to do what they wanted all on their own. Even today, with a system of nobles across every nation, you must still maintain your own power or risk losing everything to one who is stronger.
Hey everyone! what you just read is the general setup for my story Spirit Bound. I started working on this story over three years ago, and recently I decided that I wanted to take it to the next level and make an Audio Drama out of the story. I'm very pleased to say that I succeeded and along with some wonderful talent, managed to create the Pilot Episode for this story, and we're looking to continue. In order to make Spirit Bound the best that it possibly can be though, I'm looking to add a few more artists, get some composers, and add an SFX artist to the team! With all of your talents I hope to continue to breathe life into this story and make it the best it ever has been. But what I said earlier is just a lore drop on what Spirit Bound is, what actually is this story?
Spirit Bound is a high fantasy storyline that technically takes place across two separate stories, a Future and Past storyline. The past storyline tells the story of a world that is completely controlled by a woman named Astrid Kinellas, a queen of Hate Magic that has an unyielding hold on all of Luxen. The story spans across all of Luxen, dealing with the world under this dictatorship, as people desperately try to fight against the tyranny.
The future story happens 1600 years after the past story, where Luxen is in a state of complete disarray and chaos. Edmund Farelyn, a character from the past story, is now the King of Luxen, and over time has seemed to lose both himself, and his grip on the nations of Luxen. This story is meant to be a geopolitical war drama about all these different nations and characters with their own goals, motivations, and powers fighting for what they want and what they believe that they need.
The episodes will air alternating with each other, starting with future, then going to a past episode, and back and forth again until the end of this story. If you join the crew, you can expect to be part of an Epic story, that has many seasons and stories planned to tell an emotional, action packed, and intense tale from the point of view of dozens of different characters across the world.
This story has been my passion for many years, and that passion isn't going anywhere anytime soon. So, if you'd like to be a part of it, then I implore you please audition!

PAYMENT INFORMATION:
So, this project is listed as deferred payment. That means that payment is dependent on project outcome. If this story becomes one that is popular and known by many, making any kind of money, then it will be fairly split across the cast and people working on the show. However, I am looking to try and pay people even if the project does bad should I be able. Please understand that I know you all have talents worth so much more than working for free, so I am asking for people to donate their talents to help bring this story to life. My own financials just can't afford paying people for certain, but if that situation changes, I will gladly pay what I can to you and I will announce it if that happens. So, all of this being said, I would ask if you join this project you do it because you want to help not because you're expecting payment, because the last thing I want is for it to become a point of contention on the team. Thank you for your understanding!
Thank you all for reading! Feel free to message me with questions if you have them! And PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR DISCORD WHEN YOU AUDITION such that I may contact you!
Good luck! I can't wait to see your work!
