TTRPG Project, Passion Project, Roleplay, Narration
Hi! Thank you for clicking on this project!
Before anything, I thank you for having interest in this project! My name is Green, I'm 22 years old, and I'm a roleplayer and novice voice actor, aside from experienced writer, that is now working on writing a world for a special project for my friends and those interested! The name of the project is "Worlds Upon Worlds", and takes heavy inspiration from various indie and industry survival horror game titles, media and books! The idea of this project, the same of which I'm basing on a custom modification of a TTRPG (Table-Top Role-Playing Game) system framework, is to create a world with an ever-growing storyline, sets of believable characters and, of course, a world that tells the story of how the loving, willing human spirit can overcome even the most threatening of cosmic, otherwordly threats and beings, sealing them, yet not killing them [to keep that Cosmic Horror ambience going :)].
I've been working on the basis for the storyline for at least 2 years, and as such, I consider it a super passionate project that I want to see flourish and succeed. The genres of this TTRPG project include, but are not limited to: Horror, Body Horror, Cosmic Horror, Action, Survival Horror, Daily-Life Drama, Narrative Drama and others!
For this particular Casting project, I'm looking for a set of willing, passion-for-the-art Voice-Actors and Roleplayers that are experienced in narrating, acting and voice-acting characters. If accepted, you will get the chance to join a small community that, for the sake of being hand-picked and comfy with each other, will remain that way.
Your objective, particularly, is to voice NPCs with different objectives in the story. If you wish, I can also let you play said NPC in the story so you can also enjoy the custom TTRPG system I've been developing. This is entirely OPTIONAL, however, and it is not a requirement to try voicing a character.
The context of the story is as it follows:
"WORLDS UPON WORLDS, a tale of horror, role-playing, dreams, hopes and despair."
The sound of the city fills the ears of whoever dedicates themselves to listen to it. With a lugubrious monotony, the mix between technology and the world of antiquity becomes one in a cacophony of uncomprehending words, hopeful screams and dreams of a future world. The year is between 1980-1995 in Tokyo and Kyoto's sister city, Tashino, and the advances of a new world are looming. The birth and spread of desktop computers, Glam Rock and Heavy Metal bands, the demise of commercial City Pop and student movements. The underworld existence of Yakuza families and the social, technological, as well as cultural revolutions of this century. Everything seems to be in order within Japan. Posters and groups, however, speak of a phenomenon that has occurred to at least 1% of the population in Tashino. It does not appear in the popular media, on television or radio, but it is a secret that spreads in low voices. It is called 睡眠の狂気 (Sleep Hysteria). The symptoms are strange, never seen before. A pseudo-coma affects the patient, one that lasts less than 60 seconds in some cases and up to an hour in others, but always ends in the same thing: they all speak of a world beyond our own, a lucid dream that abides all the senses. When they wake up, patients swear to have lived a minimum of 24 hours in less than five minutes. Documentation is scarce. Information is not public, and the afflcited have never come forward publicly for fear of being locked up or misunderstood. However, at least three Tashino psychologists have been able to treat patients through hypnotic and behavioral therapy. They consider it a type of "Collective Hysteria" conditioned by childhood, environment, stress and delirium and deep subconscious desires.... But these are theories, not truths."
Your voiced characters would be, in their majority, part of the "world beyond our own", which is, truthfully, an alternate reality linked to ours where everything has gone ultimately wrong. I'll explain further via DMs if interested!
By getting a role or getting one of your ideas for an NPC chosen, you'll get access to the community hub in Discord, which allows you to:
Follow progress on the project.
Be part of a warm, tight-knit community.
Be a candidate and a possible player in further Campaigns, One-Shots or tables that I will open.
Be a part of a super passionate project I've been dedicating hours, videos and music towards!
For the sake of commodity and maturity, however, I must ask that applicants are +18 of age. No exceptions.
With all of this listed, I'll be constantly listening, giving feedback and providing communications to those interested! The list of character will be constantly updated as well, so please follow this thread if you wish! Good luck! :D
