World of Liphilius 2
Project Overview
This is a passion project already deep in collaboration and creative creation!
We have plenty of main roles and can provide an opportunity for voice actors to work in collaboration with a large group of writers, all experienced and skilled in story telling as well as creative writing. This project will be an ongoing affair with many new characters and new auditions. So if a role is taken, don't fear as new characters are being introduced constantly!
About: The World of Liphilius is much like Earth with similar climates, the same rules of gravity and survival but with a big 'ol fantasy twist! There is quite in depth lore and backstory if you wish to really get into it, but our directors will provide you with any key information needed to inform how you deliver your lines. So no need to read up, but if you are cast and are interested in the direction of where the drama is going, we will send you all the information documents to read through!
Story Line (very brief): The world of Liphilius is an old planet, having civilisations on it for years, yet for some time an organisation has been in charge of overseeing the wellbeing and rule of the lands. The Triangular Truce is a council much like Earth's 'United Nations' rules Liphilius, however with a council members mysterious disappearance there is now an opening for someone to run for Councillor. Chapter 1 of this AD is about the three parties that gather themselves to run for the position; intrigue, information and power all play in how well a party will go.
Requirements:
- Good quality microphone, or if your quality is a little sub-par, the ability to post-edit it to a better quality.
- No background noise
- Willingness to collaborate and work in partnership with a number of writers
- Commitment (as many of these characters have a main, long sustained role and recasting would be a shame)
- A Discord account (this is where we will communicate with each other and send files)
Goal/Aim/Finished Product: At this point we are being realistic and are only envisioning a kind of podcast/audio drama type of project, but if we have any success we may have enough resources to hire an artist and create a visual/audio novella of sorts.
What do you get out of this?: This work will be publicly published and as such you will be credited, allowing for you to gain visibility while simultaneously adding to your own acting portfolio! You will also gain references who can recommend you for future projects and perhaps give you an edge in future auditions. You will gain a deeper understanding of collaborative creation with a group of people who all love what they're doing and are very accommodating and open to your opinions or ideas!
We're so excited that you've already taken interest and hope to hear all your fabulous auditions!
(Why not audition for more than one role!?)

Asena Valda, a sparky young woman with a heart of gold.
Asena is a trained warrior, part of the Nomadic Warrior's Guild who can be commissioned to peacekeeping duties outside the abilities of local authorities. She is battle hardened and skilled with the sword and Heli magis (fire magic) able to defend herself and others with ease. She is humbled by the fact she has been nominated as a candidate for the election and unsure of herself in political situations, but Asena's heart of gold shines in a world of corruption and self-gain.
(An introduction)
"Asena Valda, I look forward to working with you.
Pronunciation: A-see-na / Val-dah
(Annoyed and Exasperated)
"I'm Asena-Fricking-Valda for Torga's sake!"
Pronunciation: Ah-see-na/Val-da/Tor-ga's
Gabrielle Brighteye is a self-confident woman. She is a member of the Flames of Embra, a religious group very prominent in Liphilius. Her attitude is manipultive and she's not afraid to play dirty to get what she wants. She is elected by the Flames of Embra as their voice in the world of politics, hoping that she will assist in making their opinions hear and sharing the teachings of Embra further through Liphilius. She is seductive and loose, not attached to anyone in particular.
(Suave and Casual)
"This is just an introductory meeting, for the most part. I have, of course, met each of you once or twice, but that hardly gives you a chance to know me."
(Cunning and Offhanded)
"At the very least, any who oppose us must be dealt with discretely "
(Casual yet Confident)
"As you have seen here, I am very capable of bending people to do as I wish~"
Malachi is a wealthy lad, heir to a family fortune and and Elvi (Elf) of great renowned. His family owns the largest trading company in Liphilius and is know for their wealth, lavish parties and skill in trade. Malachi is the youngest of two sons, and as such can relax without the weight of heirdom on his shoulders- this also makes him an unoccupied rascal; womaniser, charming, manipulative and a gambler. Though he is betrothed to a noble woman for his family's reputation's sake- he has no qualms about side affairs.
While he is kiiiind of a jerk, he gets away with it by how likeable and charming he appears.
(Charming yet apologetic)
"I am sorry I was unable to meet your acquaintance at an earlier date, I have been busy with my campaign. I'm sure you understand... "
(charming and confident)
"I assure you that your faith is not ill placed with such a popular candidate. "
(serious and firm)
"I want us all to put our best face on-" *pause* "as this night could make or break our party.”

Cool, collected, cynical, critical, down-to-earth and reliable. Farren is quiet as one can hear a great deal more if they are quiet- a key skill as the party's informant. He is shady, but quite dignified. A strong silent type if you will, and an essential member of the party. Many fear what he may know.
(Calm and respectful)
"Good day madam. I'm Farren Waymaker, glad to finally make your acquaintance."
(Only a SUBTLE hint of amusement but very serious)
"As Lady Valda so put it, I'm the 'information man.' So may I be so bold as to speak first?"
(dark and threatening, yet more calm than aggressive)
"Information is power and I have tomes and tomes of information on everyone..."
(Tomes is pronounced t-oh-ms)

Luna is one of the daughters of a royal family., her powers mean she is never quite in touch with reality, always seeing into this other realm. She is kind, gentle, very shy and humble.
(distant and almost distracted)
"Has he knowledge of the outside world mama? Tis' your knowledge I want to know more of the outside world."
(warm but still absent)
"With haste we will follow your lead my lord."
(distracted like she only just noticed you were talking)
"mmm...? Sorry, what was that?"
Supporter of Candidate 1#
Aidene is hotheaded and cocky, but her confidence is not misplaced. As a past member of the Velvet Quills (an assassins guild) and now a high-ranking member of the pirate group Coins of Ghenki, she is a fierce and deadly opponent. She is flirtatious and quite extroverted, always loving a challenge and hates being bested in a fight of any kind.
(angered and in disbelief)
"Not a threat?! Not a threat, huh?! Kiss my ass Waymaker!"
(cocky yet threatening)
"Give *me* one good reason why I shouldn't put you out like the pathetic candle you are-"
(slightly angry and full of attitude)
"Fine, I'll join your party. But only because it has a better chance than the other two damned excuses for campaigns..."
Supporter of Candidate 1#
A dignified individual who is appreciative of fine gentlemen. He is wise and always keeps his calm, often coming off as snooty or condescending due to his vast knowledge and years.
(charming, dignified and warm)
"Ah! Lady Asena, I've dearly missed your youth."
(informative and still a smooth af voice)
"Of our opponents; one is a smooth talker of *handsome* proportions and the other a woman who prides herself on her fealty to the Flames of Embra."
(Thinking deeply, still dignified)
"Ah... I see..."
Supporter of Candidate 1#
A powerful fighter, loyal to a fault and dedicated to protecting Asena. He is blunt and often comes off as a little dense due to the fact he takes everything so seriously. He needs a good dose of 'lighten up'
(imagine a raised eyebrow- he's sarcastic)
"What? No shirt, no service?"
(serious)
"I'm not good at introductions, but I swear myself to you as your sword and shield."
(annoyed and blunt)
"Septimus, was it? Your tardiness and demeanour shows little respect for the lady before you."
Septimus is pronounced Sep-tee-muss

He is charming and witty, able to calm a situation in a few words but just because he's a peacemaker, doesn't mean he isn't dangerous. Also a part of the Nomadic Warrior's Guild he is a force to be reckoned with.
(casual and friendly)
"Sorry I'm late. Have I missed anything important?"
(amused)
"Well- glad to know I'm not the rudest in the party- or the latest!"
(amused and curious)
"Unorthodox; here is someone who tried to kill one of the party... and yet- you invite them in? Interesting technique M'lady."

Nesryn Zoya, Lady Luna's faithful bodyguard and highly skilled and trained in combat as well as being an assassin. She is only loyal to Luna, and follows only her instruction. While Nesyrn plays the part of Lady in Waiting well, dresses and trappings included, but little does anyone know that beneath those skirts and behind that pleasant look, lies a deadly opponent.
(calm and formal)
"Lord Malachi, allow me to alert Lady Luna of your arrival..."
(calm and formal)
"As you wish m'lady"
(aggressive and protective)
"Stand down! Or I'll be forced to attack!"
For most of the podcast, you will remain a third person narrator but there are sections where I plan to break that and have you as your own sort of character. (As seen in the first audition line)
I want to see what personality and vibe you give them, make them your own. If you want to add lines go ahead, if you want to be cheeky and skip some- go ahead.
Narrator: (calm, serene and mysterious. This is to draw the listener in)
Ah, I see you've found yourself in one of the more forgotten parts of this vast library. Not many wander down into this section anymore; it's filled with tomes (t-oh-mz) and tomes of legends. Legends on which our society is built on; wars and stories that intertwine to weave the fabric of today.
This book? Ah, I see you're a curious one. What is written here is the history of Liphilius (Liff-ill-ee-us) but... it's incomplete. If you have the time to stay and the mind to listen, I can tell you it all.
You wish to hear? I must warn you; to listen to these tales is to accept the burden of knowing them. You then have the responsibility to pass them on as well, as I have done many times to folk like you who come wandering.
It is not for the feint of heart...
You accept? Well then, let's begin.
