The Rejects
Project Overview
Our info drop tweet: https://twitter.com/ViolentByteOff/status/1024690911534432258?s=19
"The Rejects" is is a third person semi open world game. You play as a group of Altered Humans who are seen as criminals while some are seen as heroes.
All character artwork, Names, Bios etc are not final and are in very early production with amateur drawing skills.
Contact us on twitter @ViolentByteOFF.
We are looking for voice actors who can submit samples so we can decide whether to hire them for the full project depending on the kickstarter success.
But please do not go into this expecting a paycheck immediately. We are a small team that has full intention of completing our game with either a kickstarter or a publisher. The sample work is primarily volunteer work that we very much appreciate. Also not all voice actors are final we have more to add but are starting with the basics.
The Rejects themselves are a small group of enhanced individuals with unique powers. They call themselves "Rejects" because of the discrimination against them compared to others. In this world there is a group of superheroes called Antla who saved the galaxy from a galactic emperor who invaded earth. But that isn't our story.
Our group of rejects sets out to prove to the world how strong they truly are and they pick a fight with the superheroes. Not long later a supervillain named "The Prophet" who searches for a ancient staff capable of mass genocide.

Our August 1st Info drop
Welcome, my name is Ludacris Brett and this is “The Rejects” Project. This game is planned to be a unique co op experience for you and your friends. In this game you will fight through a criminal ridden city full of dangerous cults, A private army’s and super villains. Before we go into the details, we would like to present you with our main points in this video. These numbers below represent different points in our post if you are interested in specific topics, then please take a look. 0.1[] Our Team 0.2[] The Development process 0.3[] The Characters 0.4[] The Story 0.5[] Roles and Casting 0.1 Our team: The current team for our game consists of two 4 people. Ludacris B aka B-hull, The lead writer and community manager. PlasmaOwl, The lead game designer currently working hard on the game. And as for the other two, they are working hard as well. From the start as you can tell our team is very small, we are looking to expand our team with either volunteers who will receive future payment. Or employees we will hire once we are able to. Currently Ludacris B, is handling all Auditions and Casting choices, If you wish to contact him with any questions about the games plan or any other inquiry, You can contact him Via his email in the description. 0.2 The Development Process: People often mistake or misunderstand how hard game development truly is. It requires effort, A vision and a motivation to make it as real and fleshed out as they can possibly make it. PlasmaOwl has been working hard to build the game from nothing, and often has lockups with his work. We are hoping to expand our team in the near future and make our vision a reality. So we hope you all understand how hard and time consuming such work can be. But more on that some other day. 0.3 The Characters: Our characters are completely original and their stories are also created by Ludacris B, Almost every character originates from past projects from him. These projects were never intended for public release as they were merely smaller ideas that were never fully fleshed out. Damian “Aztek” Frank was created specifically for The Rejects project. He originates from the Victorian London days where he was raised in the streets. He was attacked by an Altered Human who turned him into what he is today. Zoey “Infestor” Powell is another original character created for this game. She was once an A student in school and was also very popular. She and her friends went exploring through abandoned buildings when they were attacked by a strange creature. The creature turned her into a monster and is able to take over Zoey’s body and mind for short periods of time. Zachary “Prey Mantis” Monarch was actually created for an “Anime” idea sometime ago. This anime and mostly resided in Academy’s all over the world. Monarch was the protagonist but his design was much different. Obviously this idea was scrapped when Ludacris B found out about “My hero Academia” and figured it would be compared to much. Korrin “Wraith” Namata also originates from the Anime idea. He was actually the main antagonist of the story and had a henchman that would follow him around. His powers were identically but he often wore a cloak with a hood and could recede his crystal skin. Kali “Lyfelite” Matrix Is yet another character from the Anime idea. She was mainly used as a supporting character but was actually scrapped from the anime before any real story was written. Bludkut Now this character is an old one. Bludkut was designed way back around 2010 and was created as a “Discount Deadpool” Sort of character. He was meant to be more insane and more deadly. These are our main characters, They will each be playable and each have separate and unique skills and abilities. 0.4 The Story: The Rejects are a mercenary-like group created by Aztek. This group has done many jobs together, and as of late have been hired by a small resistance within ‘New Hope City’. The superhero organization known as ‘Antla’ Have gone on strike and the criminals of the city begin running amok. Supervillains taking over portions of the city and a private army has even taken over the biggest area of the city. The Rejects will try their hardest to defeat these villains and take the city back, So long as they get paid. Our main antagonist “The Prophet” is searching for an ancient artifact known as “The staff of Azmaroth” This staff has the killing capability on a national scale. The Rejects must not only stop him from wiping out millions but discover who he is working for. 0.5 Roles and Casting: Over the course of a month we have received more then 80 auditions for around 25 characters in total. For us, we wish each and every one of you could be apart of this story. But we only have so many roles and don't want to overwhelm the lead designer with an abundance of characters for each and every person. From this day forward we have no intention of releasing any more character roles. However this may change. Any open roles we will still need filling so until these roles are fulfilled we will not add any more roles. We thank you all for your auditions and ask that you contact Ludacris B, on discord, twitter or email in the description below if you have any questions. 0.6 Conclusion: To conclude, our game is in very early development. We will be releasing a kickstarter as soon as we have actual gameplay. Thank you very much for your continued support. And have a wonderful day! -
