New characters on the board!
Amazing submissions so far, I just need a few more characters done before sorting the voices out, keep em coming! Extended the deadline for a week more.
Veilbreaker is the story of a young woman, Heilynn who wakes up in a strange tower in a world unknown. She must venture forth in this new land and uncover the secrets of her lost memories, what led her to be here and the choices she will make to stop a coming conflict.
The story is set in the fantasy world of Alterra, a beautiful and colorful world unfortunately caught in a long history of war. Expect giant battles, political conflicts, magical fights, rich world building, and relatable characters. The target audience being Late teens and Young Adults.
"Hi, I'm Tom, a Voice Actor, Writer and Animator. Veilbreaker has been a secret project of mine for some years now, one I've been wanting to make real in one medium or another. This project\chapter will serve has a personal test (pilot) to see if I can make an audio book out of it; the first of (hopefully) many iteration for this original story. As you can understand this is an unpaid project, as I am myself still a student trying to make something great in my spare time." - Tom M.
Important note: You must be at least 18 years of age. There is so NSFW content in the story but I would prefer full maturity and professionalism for this project. I'm not super strict on the format but AABBCC would be preferred. Better recording qualities will also be at an advantage. Please do include your discord tag in your submission so I can contact you. If you wish to contact me, send me a message on my discord @legendaryk27 mentioning where you found me!
Important note 2: The project will not be posted anywhere. As I said, this will serve as a personal test to see if I have the skills needed to create an audio book project. Of course anyone who worked on it will hear the final result. My vision for the future is to create a fully fledged series, may it be audio book or animation with well over 100 realized chapters and post some paid roles for the voice actors!

Heilynn [Hey • Lin] is 21 year old woman who woke up in a mysterious edifice with no memories of her past. She wakes up confused and lost in a completely new world and carefully makes her way in it to try and find some answers. Heilynn is soft spoken, timid but articulate, she talks only when needed. She rarely gets riled up but when she does, it can be heard. (Soft, medium to high pitch)
[Confused, Disoriented] I was asleep? No, it felt - more than that. A fleeting dream - or nightmare
[Determined] You know what. I'll go to this city, and I’ll find a way, I’ll find someone, something, anything — that can get you out of here.
[Worried, Feeling Guilty, Saddened] I’m sorry — I’m sorry! [pause, softer] I'm so sorry...
Lyra [Lie • Ra] is the main character's floating spirit companion. She is what is called a wisp. She is bubbly, loud and excited and will be classified as a comic relief character. However, she has a deep affinity for Heilynn which she would do anything to protect. These two are quite literally inseparable. (high pitched, fast talker but not unintelligibly fast)
[Riled up, Confrontational] …once I’m out here, old man, you better be sorry!
[Worried, Sad] You see — I’m fleeting, the further away I go from this place, I become weaker, dimmer. I don’t know what could happen if [sigh] - you get it, right?
[Sudden Realization, Confused] Heilynn?! I thought they harvested all your organs.
Jenna [Jeh • Na] is a 19 years old girl, a nurse and student to Lord Kaldyr. She is a fire weaver and just as fiery as her element. She is a very polite and helpful girl but usually ends up in trouble because of her reckless younger brother, Ulric. Jenna is mature and confident, she carries a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders since her father's passing and hides the stress and pain efficiently - most of the time. She sounds caring, almost motherly but also head strong and straightforward.
*Say something you think would fit*
We’ll have time to catch up. I’m Jenna Wallis, nurse here at the Breathing Life. I'm glad you're in one piece.
[Confrontational, Emotionally Wounded, Angry] After everything I've done for you, for mom. I can't believe you would do this to me. You have no idea what I've been through since you've been gone.
Kaldyr [Cawl • Dir] is a 55 years old man, legendary figure and current curator (leader) of the city of Flamefell. He is also a powerful light weaver and is often referred to by his old nickname; The Lightbringer. Kaldyr carries the scars of a hundred battles. Now as a retired veteran, he leads his city along the responsibilities of his foundation, The Breathing Life hospital. He sounds tired but his very deep voice feels commanding and demands respect. Yet he is an extremely caring individual, at least for those he holds dear.
[Commanding] Close the gates! Do not let them escape!
[Sorry] I was careless — no, reckless. I let bloodlust overcome me again and I didn’t think. I could’ve hurt you back there — and I’m sorry.
[Warning] Listen to me! These people are unlike any you have or will encounter — they will stop at nothing to get what they want and when they do, there’s no word that can beg hard enough to make them falter.
You are a city guard of the city of Flamefell, the largest and most populated city of the south of the Kingdom of Echora. Your duty is towards the Flame and you shall serve your people with furious prejudice.
[Surprised, on their feet] My lord?! What was that? Do you need assistance?
[Shouting to another distant guard] We have a casualty, open the gates!
We are here to protect you, if you can trust us.
UIric [uhl • rik] Wallis is the younger brother of Jenna, a 17 year old from the city of Flamefell. Since his father's passing Ulric has promised to himself to live up to his legend and change the land for the better. Unfortunately his reckless tendencies usually stray him off the righteous path and lead him to rub shoulders with unsavory characters. [medium pitch]
[Confused, Frustrated, Indignated] I don’t know. I wasn’t born poor — I mean my mother was but my dad was of noble descent. Why does that matter?
[Shocked] Bandits? No I thought it would be more than that?
[Riled up, annoyed] I'm sorry, I-I can't just stay here and feed drunk indepted fools all my life, now can I?
