The Sacred Hero is the first game in a new adventure RPG video-game franchise created by SiMPLiSTiC.
The Sacred Hero is similar to The Legend of Zelda with the gameplay and story. For example, there are dungeons - similar to Zelda.
The Sacred Hero is aiming to be 100% open world and allowing the player to explore the entirety of this vast world almost immediately from the start. Allowing them to take their own path and discover things on their own.
Leons Quintin (the protagonist) does not wield a weapon though.
He unleashes a series of powerful effects known as the Xens through his fingertips.
E.g. One finger may be red, and will unleash fire if Leons wishes.
This act of weaponry not only presents an original attack to this character, but also plays a major part in the plot and contributes to many puzzles and hidden areas across the world.
The game has a Playable Teaser (PT) that was scheduled to release February 1st 2016 but was delayed in order to make the Playable Teaser larger and include more of the actual story.
The game is 2D and developed with the newly released RPG Maker MV.
PLEASE KEEP CHECKING THE PAGE, AS MORE CHARACTERS ARE CONSISTANTLY BEING ADDED.
The deadline to audition has been moved from 1st March to 2019. This was done to ensure that the project won't need to be extended anytime soon.
Also, Lemn (the boss of Kinasha Post Office) has been added to the roles list!
The Sacred Hero has had a huge update graphically over the past few weeks!

Rather lighthearted and friendly. Voice hasn't cracked yet - so his voice is still pretty high. Even when he's mad, he doesn't sound that deep.
(after being asked how he slept) I slept okay, I guess.

(crying, during a character's death) N-Nile... Please don't leave us. Please.

Leons Quintin... THE SACRED HERO!!
A narrator at the start of the game that gives an introduction to the world and story of the game.
------------
Name: Unknown
Age: Unknown
----------- VOICE DETAILS -----------
Interesting, dramatic, light. Maybe similar to the narrator on the start of levels in the game Hyrule Warriors?
There once was a kingdom named Histiana (Histy-anna).... A land of happiness. A land of peace.
Suddenly, an evil force arose from the mountaneous regions. A black carriage with a seamless fog trailing behind it came from the mountains of Volkan (Vole-can) and made haste toward the great castle of the land.
Queen Hilda could sense the danger, and she knew exactly what was happening... An evil lord, by the name of Xana (Zah-nah) was approaching Histiana in hope of conquering the kingdom and gaining the ultimate power. Unfortunately, Xana was much too powerful for the army of the King. In the Queen's books, it is stated that a boy with Sacred blood within him will rise to conquer this evil. This boy would be known as...... Leons Quintin.
The queen of Histiana.
