You are Safe Within These Walls
Project Overview
I'm attempting to create a weirdcore/dreamcore series where a bunch of otherworldly beings describe the story of a teenager's tragic death, and the overall destruction of humanity.
April 7th, 1984.
Dead.
Tormented.
Forced to bring change to an unwanted truth.
Stevie Daniels never signed up to die, but life- 0r rather, death- had other plans for him. Along with pulling the rug of stability out from under his feet, otherworldly forces have tampered with the loose strands of reality to teach mortal humans a thing or two about the cost of life and death. The day his sister goes missing is Stevie's proper undead wake-up call. Tasked to pull himself out of the realm of the dead, and restricted to communicate only through warped energy currents, he holds the biting truth of existence in his hands, the truth that could save reality from being a never-ending nightmare.
Liminal spaces.
Time breaks.
A hazy perception of life that floats away on the winds of change.

-For writers-
I'd like to meet with you all a little later than everyone else, so I can really have time to sit down and work. I'll provide more information when I'm ready to move ahead! -
Hey all! A little about the next couple days:
I'm so happy there are people willing to participate in this project! Although the project is 'closed,' I will be accepting auditions through Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which will end with a final cast list. I need this time to finish character and color reference sheets, but this will be the only delay I see with the project. Everyone who's auditioned for the project WILL be in it in one way or another. (Though, if for whatever reason, you decide not to be in the project, it's totally cool! Just let me know so I can figure things out in advance.) If you weren't cast for the part(s) you auditioned for, please know that I love each and every audition I saw, and I'm so proud of all of you for putting your talents out here. Agenda for each actor/artist: First of all, I'm going to send a Discord link to everyone, and assign appropriate roles Artists/animators- I'll provide color and character references, along with other notes about the characters' movements, gesticulating, etc. ALL voice actors- Literally all I want you to do for the first couple days is warm up your voice. I'd like to get a feeling of everyone's range, so I can direct appropriately. Please let me know if you have any concerns about that!

Stevie was a sixteen-year-old boy at the time the story takes place, in 1984. His father owned the local arcade, and he was known for being extraordinarily good at video games. He was pretty distant from his younger sister, and ignored her attempts at trying to spend time together.
Wh-where am I? Can anyone hear me? Hello?
*shivering* it's so cold here. I-I don't think I can hold on any longer...
I'm sorry. I fucked up. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm sorry I'msorryI'msorryI'MSORRY! YOU HEAR ME?! I REGRET EVERYTHINGGGGGG.

Humphery

Role assigned to:
7eevee
Humphery (yes, spelled that way) is the ghostly form of a man who forever sits on a bench, and guides lost souls to the afterlife. He lives in a never-ending flower field, and watches omnipotently with a single, green eye. He has a posh British accent, which sounds like the heat of the Sun (idk a better analogy lol)
Sit, sit, if you please. It's going to be a long time until you're ready to move along.
Sometimes we have to force ourselves to let the firm grasp of time guide us in the right direction. It's taken me many a winter night to fully appreciate each precious second that ticks by. Still, I'm not ashamed. What point is there to wallow over things we cannot change?
Allow me to keep an eye on you while we wait, so to speak. *Chuckle, leading into a sigh* It's all we can do to make the process a little easier.

Maria Daniels

Role assigned to:
Basil83
Maria is Stevie's younger sister, who is always trying to positively influence her jaded brother. She wants to make everyone around her happy, but is used to feeling isolated and alone. She's pretty young- probably like 6-8 years old- but any age can audition!
Hey, Stevie! When are ya gonna come back home?
I've got my controller right here, actually.
*Crying* D-do you even remember me?!

Celia

Role assigned to:
coolartist1110
Celia has the opposite vibe of Humphery, being super laid-back, and treating death as just another small part of life. From the outside, she seems to have a huge ego, but is actually super self-conscious about how much impact she's made in the fabric of existence.
Just chill, okay? In the end, it doesn't matter if you're a big, rich boy with nice striped pants, or a pile of slimy old fish that's been left in a cobwebbed corner.
It's gonna be okay. You're with me, and I'm the ultimate problem-defuser. For the most part. We don't talk about that one time in '79...
Come with me... and you'll be... in a woooorld of endless utter terror...
Voice Actor
Ziggy

Unpaid
Ziggy is a bastard. His philosophy is that mortals must be punished in order to learn, which ultimately leads to their suffering. He has low emotional intelligence, and would pull any tricks to gain an advantage in a risky situation.
Fuckin chill out. You'll be dead soon, anyway
I've seen a lot of idiots in my time. Not one of them can be compared to you.
You think you're so hot in your fancy-ass pants? Lemme tell you something, malchik. *Clenched teeth* In the grand scheme of all of this, you're nothing. You hear me? Nothing!
Voice Actor
Damien

Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Omichromium
Damien's best description would probably be a comic relief character. He's not very high up in the rank of mystical beings, but he does his job well. He has way too much fun fucking around with mortals, though. Unlike the rest of the entities, he was once a human. He died in a hunting accident, in which a friend shot him in the neck with a bow.
Slow down there, kid. My brain's a little on the rusty side from being dead all these years.
You're telling me if I had survived another, like, five years, I would've been able to eat pizza?! I've been robbed!
Now, now. Let's not get into a fight. At least give me enough time to grab popcorn.
Voice Actor
Extras!

Unpaid
The extras are just the lil dudes who appear in scenes, but don't have a continuous role in the story.
Well look what the cat dragged in! I haven't seen you in years, pal!
The blood trail seems to lead from a small hole in the wall. Better take a closer look at that.
Uh, hi. I seem to have lost my marbles. They were right here on the table a second ago, and now the entire jar's gone! No, this isn't a prank call. Wait! Don't hang u- they hung up.

I think it would be super interesting if we could have different artists focus mainly on different characters, to create a kind of consistency that meshes well with the weird/jumbled style of the story

I might need an animator to help out with particularly layer-heavy scenes, so yeet
