It takes more than just a single Water Spirit to stop a war between Celestials that has been stuck in a stalemate for half a century. Aliya wanders the land gathering unlikely comrades to assist her. Siblings looking for a fight and a place to belong, a curious Wind Spirit wondering if they'll fail and a cocky thief and an assassin help her uncover a plot in the Pastoria Empire that could complexly change the tide of the war.
This is a little passion project of turning my web novel into a dramatized audiobook podcast, with voiced characters, sound effects, and music. I highly encourage auditioning for multiple roles and if you don't land one but want to be a part of this project there will be plenty more characters. I highly recommend joining the Arcade Allies Discord if you want to keep up to date on role opportunities to join the project or wish to help in other ways or just support us.
Feel free to read it or find some more detail about some of the characters here:
This series' main villain is back up for grabs!! I look forward to hearing more from you darlings. If you still want to join this project outside the roles here, Season 2 auditions are up on my website: https://mirzam-library.wixsite.com/tale-of-mysteria/auditions
I am working through all your submissions. You are all so wonderfully talented and I wish I could pick every one of you. It means the world to me that you all are willing to help me with this passion project. I've been freaking out and having happy tears a lot. I will get back to you all here in the next week or two. If you don't make it and still want to be a part of the project, there will be more characters in the upcoming seasons, definitely join the Discord server linked in the project summary for more updates.
Kindle is a caring yet temperamental Spirit. She takes care of her companions, often leading to a scolding as she does so when they don't listen to her advice.
(scolding) What did I tell you boys? We just got here and here you are making a scene in the middle of the street. Let alone a Water Spirit of all people.
(soft) They really are one of a kind out here, they want to prove to the world that not everyone is bad, I admire their mission but I'm afraid the world won't accept them right now.
(cheery) That's to distract them in case they wake up so I have time to knock them back out before they realize we are sailing.
Terbius is a carefree Spirit, always looking for fun or a fight. They share the same mind and often finish each other’s sentences or thoughts.
(fierce) She wants nothin' to do with ya! So scram! Or we'll make ya!
(Sweet) Then we can help prove that… not all of us are bad.
(thinking aloud) Rumors have probably already spread of the two of us looking to harm others. What if we did the opposite? We do something big, something… Heroic, maybe?
Breyze quietly watches and makes notes about anything and everything but does not move to help unless prompted. She knows a lot of random facts, enjoys watching drama unfold hoping for it to be a good story. She’s very curious about everything, always asking questions, wanting to learn everything about the world she’s in. She will get rather excitable about topics she’s passionate about.
(Excited) That’s because of the Wind Celestial! See that Water Spirit? She fought him earlier and he used a High Arte that started changing the weather. It’s fascinating what he can do but I’m more curious about her powers right now.
(pout) How’d you know? I thought I was being sneaky…
(curious) Your tale interests me for some reason. I’m just so interested to see how it will turn out.
Pree is a cheery little fox. He’s very knowledgeable with a thirst for adventure. He has a very close bond with Breyze and acts as her guide to the world.
(cheerful) There you are Breyze! I figured you'd be out spying on people from the rooftops when you weren't in your usual spots!
(matter of fact) Yes siree! Breyze has been a Spirit for twelve years now.
(urgently) Breyze, now would be the time to fight!
Volarius is a serious and tense guy who seems to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders even though he wants nothing to do with it. However, he has a soft spot for old traveling companions.
(tense and annoyed) She must be desperate to send you to recruit me for her war. You can forget it. Tell her I'm not going to change my mind.
(laughing) Do you actually believe you can fight a Celestial on your own?
(tense) She’s definitely stronger but something's not right… What are you playing at…?
How about a fun time with me, little doll?
Doll, I’m everyone’s type!
What? More Earth Spirits trying to bring nothing but trouble?
Xander is a stern and protective barkeep. He’s rather caring of his bar and patrons, often a go to man in Gaylette for any information.
(stern) Boys take it outside if you are going to tussle!
As long as they keep the fights outside they are welcome anytime.
A little good can go a long way nowadays.
Molly is a strong and independent single mother. While she only has one child many of the townsfolk fall under her care. She’s strong headed at times, stubborn even.
Forgive me but you don't look like one of Water Celestial’s Legion. (mumble) Definitely not the clothes they wear…
(Firm) Alright! Anyone who is healed up now should head out and see what they can do to help the town!
(amused) I’ll stick with them. Make sure no one gives them trouble.
Sweet and carefree with a bit of sass, she has a particular fondness of nicknames and an attachment to Vox.
(excited) Miss Water Faerie are you here to help us!?
(Tease) Maybe if you weren’t so lazy!
Vee-Vee! I wanna go too! I wanna help!
A spirited and spunky young man, he cares deeply about the townsfolk of Ervic but especially Molly and Lee.
(playful) Ooh! I'm going to get you for that!
(cheerful) Come on Lee-Lee! Let’s let them work in peace! We can go find something else to do!
I saw who did it! She was wearing a mask but whenever she took it off anyone in her sight turned to stone.
Therris is filled with fury and rage. She is a bitter Spirit with a deep seated hatred of humans and no qualms with killing them.
All of Humanity is a hazard to the Spirits! They are the only ones that create Darkness. We are cleaning the trash that taints our perfect world! Ending them early is only natural!
(Cocky) Yes, and you were stupid to come alone. Consider this a celebration of your death!
(quiet but sinister) Run while you can, because as soon as I eviscerate you scum that dare to stand in the way of the Earth Celestial's will, I will finish off that pathetic town like I should have in the first place!
Very pretentious young man with a jealous temperament that easily bruises his massive ego. While it may not seem like it, he does take his job of protecting the people quite seriously.
(Smug) Well, well, if it isn’t the Ice Queen herself!
(salty) Tch, you Kinbound always get such special treatment from Lady Azurius.
That's different, it’s a strategic decision on my part. If I didn't have you and the Wind Spirit in your squad many humans and members of my unit would still be petrified.
A level headed, young woman with a heart of gold and a heavy hand for keeping her subordinates and companions in line.
Geysis, show some respect! She’s your elder and superior!
I assure you he doesn’t speak for all of us. You hear that everyone? There are Twin Earth Spirits in town that are not a part of The Earth Legion.
Like you have a right to say that. Who was it that asked for help against the Gorgon from my squad?
A guardian spirit of Ervic. He’s protected the town for generations. He’s very sweet and caring.
Vox tells me you Spirits helped our town out something fierce.
You have no idea how much I appreciate this.
Well you guys are always welcome to come back.
A hardy sea merchant who tends to be rather superstitious. He seems to always be in a good mood even when he give his companions a hard time, usually doesn’t mean any ill will by it.
(laughing) Ah, Gwen I was afraid we were going to have to leave without you this time around.
They jumped ship at Jinjur, they were heading to Lambertine.
If you didn’t pick them so inefficiently you’d have plenty of time!
Erik on the surface is overconfident, carefree, and a bit of a ladies man. He does not show his true feelings very easily, rarely speaking about himself. He avoids talking about his past. Despite his criminal background he has his own code he goes by, including not killing anyone. He has a soft spot for the Spirit and always feels more comfortable around them than humans. He'll go out of his way to protect any Spirit even if it means he'll get hurt.
(flirty) Normally I save the kinky stuff for after the first date but for you I might make an exception.
(tense) So if you value your lives, I'll be on my way and you should probably make yourselves scarce!
(Carefree) I stashed it away safe and sound! You’ll have it once you pay up.
Mistral is extremely serious and rather rarely does anything outside of he guild’s business. She has a long, deep seated grudge against the Empire. The only one she has a soft spot for is April.
(formal) Nice to meet you all, I’m Mistral, Guildmaster of Blacksong and this here is my Kinbound, April.
Since everyone is in agreement, I have a man that will help you infiltrate the research facility. He’s a freelancer who only really goes where the money is good. He’s proven reliable so he’ll be able to get you in.
(bitter) What? Are you saying you didn’t sick your Imperial lap dogs on us?
April is a sweet little cat that could do no harm. She’s pretty young and has a tendency to repeat herself.
(excited) Aliya! Long time! Long time!
April, best guard! Best guard!
(cheerful) Mistral’s friend is April’s friend,
Claudia is a vindictive woman. Her hatred for Spirits runs deep and she would do anything to purge them from the world, even make an alliance with a monster knowing full well he’s just using her. All to get some sort of revenge for her Mother’s death in the war against the Earth Legion.
(smug) Everyone thought that the notes of the First Arch Druid were scribbles of a mad man but they are actually works of a technological genius!
(bitter) How long until the rest of you turn on us? Fae are a blight against humanity. I think you are all better off as Runes!
(tense and bitter) What are you doing? You can’t let her walk out of here!
Jack often comes off as kind hearted to the public, making use of his knowledge to better the lives of others to make a perfect cover when in reality he is a very cunning and manipulative person. Even with the magic at his disposal to make others bend to his will with little effort, he enjoys trying to make them submit to him by choice. He has a quite sadistic side to him, quite enjoying seeing others misery and tends to subject others to his painful experiments. He’s always smiling, never faltering for a moment.
(eerie calm) Claudia, see to it that I get that Water Spirit in particular, alive. That gun the human boy had with him as well.
(underhanded teasing) She drove them off quite admirably. If she wasn’t there that night surely I would have perished and all my research destroyed.
(eerie cheer) No. You see, I forgot your guild existed until last night. There’s some holes up here. Come now, Mistral, you’re smart. You wouldn’t have eluded capture so long without someone betraying you to the highest bidder,
Looking for some fantasy style music
*Say something you think would fit*
