Steve

CHARACTER BIO:

Steve is the main protagonist of MCTFS. Steve was once a loner within his world, always feeling like a stranger in a strange land. That was before he met the Builders, a community of peaceful individuals focused on creativity and positivity. Steve was given a warm welcome by the builders, and soon found himself being a porter of sorts for the community. Any resource that was too dangerous, tedious, or niche to acquire by normal means, was Steve's responsibility to retrieve. Steve was quickly accepted due to his helpful nature, and found his place within the world. 

That was before the Griefer clan attacked the Builders. For whatever reason, the Griefers launched a series of attacks on the Builders. Due to their pacifistic nature, the Builders were easily defeated by the Griefers. The Builder Community was crippled by the Griefer's attacks, and Steve saw the community that he had come to love suffer. Enraged by these attacks, Steve decided to pursue the leader of the Griefers-The Red Creeper, also known as Reaper.

Inspired by individuals in the survival and bushcraft community, Steve is characterized by a go-getter attitude, a bold fearlessness and confidence, as well as a rugged and independent nature. Steve is a buckle-your-bootstraps type man, and he takes great pride in his ability to accomplish tasks without the help or direction of others. Steve knows what he's good at, and he enjoys being good at it.

Despite this seemingly gruff and perhaps even inapproachable exterior, Steve derives a great amount of joy from interacting with and helping others, and places great value on his relationships and the wellbeing of others. This love and appreciation for his fellow man is what leads to his outrage at the Griefer's attack, and thus serves as his motivation for the story.

INFO REVELANT TO YOU: 

As stated in the character bio, Steve is the main protagonist. That means that if you were to take this role, you'll have to be able to record lines for multiple episodes. We're aiming for each episode to be in the 5-10 minute range. For each line, you'll be provided with a placeholder version performed by the director for your reference as far as how tone and delivery should be for the line (If you feel that you have a better idea for the tone or delivery, you're always welcome to pitch your idea!).

Steve is a bit of a stoic, and while he's not exactly Kratos levels of quiet, he's not a motormouth. So your lines won't often be excessively long.

When writing this character, the general envisioned voice is one that feels grounded, thoughtful, and collected, with moments of lighthearted sarcasm. The delivery should command an amount of conviction and confidence, but not too authoritative or strong-armed.

^ If the above description doesn't seem like something you think you can pull off, feel free to submit an audition anyway! This description isn't gospel, but more like guidelines that reflect the direction and tone of the character. And hey, if you don't fit this role, putting in an audition can still help put you on the list of people we reach out to for other roles!

We're trying to keep production moving at a consistent and (fairly) speedy pace, so it'd be appreciated if the lines you're given can be delivered within a week's time of you receiving them, however we understand that this isn't a paid role, and you've got your own life to live, so we'll try to be lenient.

OTHER NOTES:

If you'd like more lines examples, you can DM us on Twitter at "@MCfanSeries" for a copy of the script of one of the episodes. You can also reach us there for any other questions or requests you may have!
