The Silverlining, a Minecraft Roleplay Series
Project Overview
This story is called “The Silverlining” it’s about a 14-year-old girl learning to navigate her way through high school. Ruby Knight is what I’d call a token “loner” character even though she has friends. She is quiet and protective when needed and can always be found with her nose stuck in a book, she is very intelligent as in straight A’s and AP classes.
Her twin but also younger brother (by 20 minutes) Reece Knight is a lead character, he is loving and protective like Ruby but he’s also athletic and decently smart. He gets mostly A’s and B’s but doesn’t take as many AP classes to focus on going out for Football and later in the year, Basketball, he may be smart but he does however unintentionally act like a Himbo. Meaning stuff goes over his head way too easily and he can act dumb at times Reece is the “Dumb but smart” friend.
The next leading role is Allen Roberts, the 3rd friend in their “squad”. He’s 14 like Reece and Ruby, but he’s a comic book nerd. He’s very kind and extroverted. He loves making new friends but isn’t the brightest. He’s more average so Mostly C’s and a few B’s.
The 4th and final lead role in the clique is Isobella Jones. She unlike the rest of her friends is 15 and was held back due to her bad grades. Ruby takes time on the weekends to tutor her. Issy loves playing soccer but refuses to try out for the high school team (She may or may not also be totally infatuated with Ruby shhh.).
The next character on the list is a supporting but important one, Rhea “Ray” Knight. She is 17 years old and Ruby and Reece’s older sister. She’s extremely athletic and that is shown through her being Captain of both Varsity Volleyball and Basketball this year (her senior year), she’s also very popular.
Her girlfriend, on the other hand, Mallorie Roberts, (Allen’s older sister), isn’t as popular but is still high on the social ladder. She’s extroverted but very chill.
Lilliana Knight is another supporting character, being the one that birthed the 3 Knight kids. She’s 38 going on 39 and is a professor of Anthropology at White Water University. She’s been a single mother to her 3 goblins since her husband died 12 years ago.
Now the other mother in the series is her best friend and a parent to the Roberts siblings, Callie. She is 41 years old and the reason that their children are friends is that they are. Callie is a nurse at Silver Valley Hospital a few towns over.
The last supporting role is for Extras and Teachers, ages ranging from 14-45 possibly even older. I’ll need co-writers, directors, skin makers, builders, body actors, video editors, producers.
So this is an all-call for anyone interested in being a part of the team! Come one, come all, everyone is welcome and I’ll do my best to ensure that everyone has a part to play in the production of this! ( I even need help with making a server with mods because I can’t figure it out ) Plus, it is encouraged that you try out for more than one part. Along with some behind the scene options, because it's a good chance that those who apply for more than one position are more likely to get one than those who just submit one thing! That is unless you specialize in one thing, then that's understandable. Anyhow, thanks!

Cancellation
My god. I’m so sorry, I feel so awful for doing this. I hope to be able to continue this project in the future, but for right now my mental health is at an all time low and I just can’t do it. I’m so so very sorry. I appreciate all the support I got on the project, I just don’t see with how bad I feel right now in conjunction with starting my Junior year soon in how I can do this project and with the other projects I’m in. I hoped I could work through this but I can’t. I especially would like to apologize to those who have been cast. I know what it’s like being cast, even if it’s small role. I don’t think I can apologize enough. I’m so so so so so sooo very sorry. Thank you -
Producers/Co-Director/Writers
I really appreciate everyone's interest so far in the project, however, I am still in desperate need of Producers, Co-Directors, and Writers. For those that choose to audition for VA's, you can also add a submission to be Producers, CDs, and Co-writers. In fact, it is encouraged. I know it'll be stressful to do this on my own and am looking for people who are willing to help with that! Please and Thank you!!

Say something you think would fit
I’m looking for a partner to help with the production and execution of this role play! To help generate ideas, execute them, and help oversee all of the actors and everything else, so if you’re interested submit an application with reasons as to why you think you’re a good fit along with your discord below! Thank you!
Say something you think would fit
I will do my best to help but I’m not the best with editing (see explainer video, yikes). If you’d like a chance at this please submit an application below with why you think you’re a great fit along with a sampler of previous works and your discord! Please and thank you. (seriously please)
Say something you think would fit
Since this is a Minecraft roleplay I will be needing a skin artist, so please include some samplers below if you’d like to be the skin artist (which still sounds weird to me) for The Silverlining! Please and thank you.
Say something you think would fit
I myself, do enjoy building and am not bad at it but I can’t build the entire map by myself seeing as I have a lot of other behind-the-scenes work to do! So please include examples below along with your discord! Please and thank you.
Say something you think would fit
I as aforementioned, I don't have the immediate ability to run a server with mods and am trying to figure that out. So if someone out there would like to help with that, said help would be immensely appreciated! All help is welcome, please, and thank you.
