Jack Fuller (Lead Protagonist)

Jack Fuller — Lead Protagonist

Jack Fuller is the main protagonist of RUINS OF TOMORROW and the character the player experiences the story through.

Jack is a 27-year-old former U.S. military veteran and family man trying to survive after society collapses. He is vigilant, practical, reserved, and emotionally restrained. He rarely wastes words and tends to respond to stressful situations with action rather than emotion.

Voice Characteristics:

• Male, approximately 20s–30s

• Low, grounded, and natural-sounding

• Calm and controlled most of the time

• Short, clipped, practical delivery

• Can become angry or intense when pushed, but shouldn't sound constantly aggressive

• Emotional scenes should feel restrained and genuine rather than overly dramatic

• Occasional dry/dark humor

• An American Southern accent is preferred

Jack is not a stereotypical action hero. He's a normal family man who has been forced to become a survivor. As the story progresses, the actor will need to portray Jack becoming increasingly exhausted, hardened, distant, and emotionally conflicted.

What We're Looking For:

We're looking for someone who can make Jack feel like a real person rather than simply "the tough guy." Subtle emotion is especially important. Jack often keeps his feelings buried, so pauses, changes in tone, frustration, exhaustion, and quiet moments can be just as important as shouting.

Demo / Audition Lines:

Please record the following lines in character:

"Stay close."

"It ain't worth it."

"Easy. We're alright."

"I got it. Move."

"There's still a way. I see it."

For the audition, please try different levels of emotion while keeping Jack's overall restrained personality.

Software Needed:

No specific software is required. You may record using whatever software you're comfortable with, such as Audacity, OBS, or your phone's voice recorder, as long as the recording is clear.

Project Type:
Unpaid / Volunteer Indie Game

This is an indie project, so this role is currently unpaid. In exchange, you'll receive full voice-acting credit in the game and experience working on an original indie game project. This is a great opportunity for newer voice actors looking to build experience and a portfolio.

Role Importance:
⭐ LEAD ROLE

Jack is the main character and will have a significant amount of dialogue throughout the game. The selected actor should be comfortable committing to the project and potentially recording additional lines as the story develops.
