The Children of the Heap

The Children of the Heap

Project Overview

They all deserved to be there, all 12 of them. Criminals, they said, the bottom of the barrel low lives, They were children, sent to this trash heap the size of an island.  They were to remain there for the duration of their punishment. They had to survive on their own, the only contact with the outside world is a food parcel sent once every week.  They need to tolerate each other and survive long enough to see the real world again... If they can.  To some, this was a punishment,  to others, this was a challenge. To them all, it was the lighter choice.

They need to survive as a group, which means they need to learn to deal with each other and quick. Will these 12 kids survive this punishment? We can only hope.

Hello all, this is a cyberpunk podcast following 12 delinquents.  This podcast will be approx 10 episodes long and will contain some heavy topics such as abuse, violence, self-harm and will contain cursing.  I would prefer 13+ actors due to these warnings. Please be aware that these topics may come up in your dialogue if you are selected. 

Before we finish up I have some rules, 

1) Please be committed if you are selected. This doesn't mean quit your job for this or anything, but please be aware of when scripts are sent out and when your lines are due. If you will be late with lines, shoot me a message. Life gets busy and I get it.

2) Be civil to others.  I am a Nonbinary individual and any racism, sexism and homophobia or transphobia will not be tolerated.

3) Have fun, this is a passion project for me, and I hope if you audition and are selected you enjoy your time!

4) Finally please have a discord or an email, If you are selected I will send you both a discord link and an email, tell me which one you will be using so I can keep track.



Having said that, I hope you audition,  I will also be looking for a scriptwriter and an audio editor if you would prefer to stay in the background. I will also be taking on a character


Thank you for auditioning.

Disut is a 13-year-old boy who is sarcastic and timid due to his mother being in an accident at a young age. He is in the heap for theft and breaking and entering. He mistrusts the others and really only wants his own survival at first, but soon he becomes close friends with Kizas and Banmor.

Rylor is a 10-year-old girl who is far too kind and naive for her upbringing. She has faced abuse from her father, who she later killed in an act of self-defence though her mother believes she is guilty due to her fanatic love of her husband. Rylor wants everyone to get along, she thinks they’ll do better together, and she becomes close with Ortar, who she thinks of as a sibling. And Aose who becomes a friend.

  • I, I don't wanna talk about it.

She hates her role as a leader at first and only starts to tolerate her position when she sees how she’s helping the other kids.  She and Isess become good friends… and maybe something more. And Thok who reminds her of her brother.
