New Earth Casting - Voice Actors

Post post-apocalyptic earth, now called New Earth. People don’t even remember what year it is anymore, so they just reset the calendar. All life on Earth has mutated and changed as a result of powerful radiation, various alien invasions and technological renaissances. The only ones left unaffected were the wealthy humans who could afford to escape the planet, before coming back aeons later. The main backdrop of the plot is Nirvana (geographically what once was Ohio, USA), a brutalist haven with retro sci-fi and 80s neon era influences crowns the pseudo-capital of Ocellus, a loosely deemed country which more resembles a scattered cluster of cities. In the middle of the harsh desert that has replaced all other ecosystems, Nirvana is a city that never sleeps, and where in between the raging parties and the sieges, tendons of history connect to the occult underbelly of the world...

Characters

"My careers teacher told me that becoming a mercenary isn’t a ‘viable career path,’ but what he clearly doesn’t know is that mercenaries make bank! Your bosses are like, the richest of the rich! One job well done and you can take the rest of the month, no, probably the rest of the year, off! And you get to retire wayyyy before the rest of the normal jobs. And yeah, I know the retirement age is statistically a lot younger cause, well, they don’t usually get to that stage, but I guess that’s how you find out whether you’re cut out for it. And I’d rather get a shot at a few years of adventure than to blow it sitting at a desk for the rest of my life y’know. The rest of your life is a long time when you’re immortal! It’s not like vampires even get to retire, The only way they understand what age means to us when it comes to work is when we’re made up of more dust than what we’re sweeping up is."

"I dunno man, you learn a lot from living on the land. Don’t get me wrong, a bed and all is nice but, an open sky, the dirt under your feet, can’t beat what mother nature gives ya. Heh, easy for me to say though I guess, I literally popped right out of her sandy bosom and just took it from there. Guess there’s no escaping my roots. Plus, the housing here is already crazy enough, other people could use it more than me. I was born lucky after all. All I need is the sun smiling down on my cap and I’m all groovy in the smoothie dude. Saves a lotta money, not needing to eat or have a home. Kinda freeing honestly. It would be an insult for me to do anything else really. Other people aren’t as lucky, they can’t say the same, so I, blessed as I am, it’s my job to give some of that love back. Go out into the community, and do my part, wherever the wind blows me is wherever I’m needed. It’s not much, but it’s honest work."

"So this bitch online started accusing ME of not being a girl's girl. And like, firstly, what the fuck does that even mean. A ‘girl’s girl,’ like, are we policing gender now? Like- I’m LITERALLY a girl. (harmonising to ‘Just a Girl’ by No Doubt) _{I’m just a girl} But yeah. My mother was literally also a girl. I am by definition- a GIRL’S girl. Secondly, coming for a girl just living her life online? Hmm I dunno, call coming from inside the house much? Not very ‘girl’s girl’ of you KelseyKitten98. I’m just sick of these no face hoes online coming and telling me how to live my life. It’s MY life. Maybe that’s why they’re so obsessed with me. Cause clearly they are in need of a life themselves so they think that clamping their teeth into me like a leech is the next best thing."

"You want to hear about my life? Why, uhh, yes! Of course! Where does one even begin! … Umm… so… where would you like me to begin? Well, I could start with one of my most perilous adventures from my youth. I call this one, ADDAMS AND THE ANAESTHESIOLOGIST. It was a dark Wednesday afternoon, and I, my bowels had been in great disarray, and so I had a colonoscopy awaiting me. Unshaken by fear, I traversed to the hospital. When I arrived and they checked me in, I patiently sat, unperturbed by the hold up, as it gave me plenty of time to do my sit down yoga. A fascinating technique a doctor told me about online that has kept me in the physique you find me in today. When it came time to go into the appointment, they were to give me anaesthetics to help me go under. But not for Norman Addams! I bravely had the inspection without any need for anaesthetics! Apparently, the moment the needle touched my skin, I nobly passed out before they even could administer it to me. Just one of the many heroic stories from my lifetime, would you like to hear another?"

"Instructional materials on the making of one, peanut butter and jelly sandwich. First, gather your ingredients. Peanut butter. Jelly. Bread. Sliced. You may choose between white and brown. Brown if you value your health, white if you value short-term pleasures. You have chosen, white. Your health diagnostics have been updated. Take one slice of bread. Using a butter knife, spread a layer of peanut butter across the bread. Take a second slice of bread and repeat this with the jelly. When this is complete, combine both slices with the peanut butter and the jelly sides facing one another. You have now completed making your peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Should you wish, using your knife, you may cut off the crusts for added textural optimisation."

"Here at ‘The Ocellus Care Wellness Centre’ we offer a beautifully varied range of services. We are very aware how difficult it is to find time for self care, and that’s what we’re here to help with! We have customisable care packages that I can share with you, if you would like that? We just need to schedule an appointment first, and then we can chat uninterrupted. Doesn’t that sound just wonderful? I would love to hear more about what you do as well, you seem like a very intriguing character. It would also help determine what services would be best suited for your particular needs. All you have to do is sign here and we’re all good to go! Don’t worry- no payment is required for your first session, your presence is payment enough! We are ever happy to see you."

"All these years of work only to answer to a manchild that will blow over all my cases on nothing more than a whim and I’m supposed to just take it? The public don’t take the police seriously and I can hardly blame them. How are they supposed to take us seriously when 90% of the officers don’t take their jobs seriously. But we could do so much more, if people would just cooperate a little. We owe it to people and we owe it to ourselves. Not everyone can afford to just hire mercenaries to ‘fix’ their problems for them. We’re supposed to be justice. We’re supposed to be the law. And the law is supposed to mean something, otherwise I’ve just wasted my whole life chasing a lie. And somehow fixing this seems easier than to have to come to terms with that, so that’s just what I’ll do."

"Who told you scavenging is easy money? I go out in The Wastes for weeks knowing well I won’t spot anything worth stopping my horses for. The desert’s picked clean, that’s why I started working on commission. It’s annoying, you have to go around asking for work, but it pays better than selling in the Dragon Market. Good thing is, if you get the ball rolling, word goes round and people start coming to you. My ball’s not rolling yet. A lot of us started making our own stuff, which is why the market is so damn crowded now. I tried that for a while, but making a gun isn’t exactly like playing with legos. These days I only make them for myself. Radios sell if you’re one of the scavengers that don’t come to town often. I did that for a while, too, but you get tired after a while. Also showers aren’t really an option and there’s only so much crust I can collect on me before I say enough is enough."

"So I heard about this concept known as ‘water cooler talk’ where people working in an office are known to hang around and chat around wherever the water cooler is. So I moved the station’s water cooler inside my office so that when people come to get water, then we can chat! Because that’s the annoying thing about being chief, people are always treating me like their ‘boss’ and not like just one of the guys. It worked for a bit, but I guess no one’s been thirsty for a while, which is weird cause there’s a heat wave. But anyways, it meant no one was really using it, so I rescued this krill, it doesn’t matter from where. And now it belongs to this lil guy! His name is Krilliam and if anything happens to him I would kill everyone in this office and then myself."

"I met my wife Angela at one of her book signings. She spoke at an event I was attending as an investor, and I was immediately enthralled. Such passion! Such beauty! She spoke with so much fire that she immediately set my heart alight. How she spoke of her work, I didn’t quite understand it, but I needed to know more! I picked up and read everything she had ever published, somehow she still manages to inspire the same fervour even just through just her written word. Oh how she bewitches me! So I just had to go to one of her book signings and what a marvel it was to see her up close! I promised to lay down everything I had to her cause and she told me to “okay slow down” and to speak to her afterwards. Oh what a way she has with words! So I took her to dinner. I think she was a little overwhelmed at first but she seemed to find amusement in my manner. I am not sure what I have ever done to deserve the woman that she is but she is my light, my muse, my sun, and it is my honour to be the moon fortunate enough to bask in her glow."

"You get some weird people when you’ve been playing cabbie for as long as I have. But hey, they don’t pay me to judge. Just don’t throw up in the car, that’s all I ask. But if I had to choose, I would have to say this oddball of an alien I drove once. I was just driving around District 3 when I see him standing on the road, and so he looks at me and locks his eyes on me. So I’m like shit and I let out the passengers I had in the back, cause what am I supposed to do it’s an extraterrestrial that’s just how it is. So I pull up beside him and run up and open the door for him, and he just climbs on in not saying a word. So after we wait in silence for a bit I ask him “you good?” and he just- stares me down- and says “no one ever asked me that before.” He still wouldn’t tell me where to go, so I just drove in a circle and back to where I found him and stopped the car. He just, thanks me, drops me a working week's worth of credits and walks off. Strange guy, but as I said, they don’t pay me to judge."

"Good evening and welcome to Channel 1 news’ Purestrain Power Hour where we highlight the achievements and exploits of the brightest minds of the nation. Tonight’s star is none other than Miles Benedict, recent recipient of the Solaris Person of the Year award. Miles rose to become one of the nation's wealthiest despite his humble beginnings, taking his trust fund and investing it into technological pursuits such as the marble-iser. Marble-ising has risen in recent years into one of the most popular forms of funerary practices among purestrains, giving you the option to immortalise your loved ones forever through preserving their body in a marble statue. Miles, it’s a delight to welcome you onto the show."

"Welcome to Troy Tackles and tonight we’re tackling the ominous messages being put out via social media by drug cartel leader, Derek Kyle Gunther, leader of the Diamond Knuckle Gang, informally known as the DKG. This Nirvana based gang is putting the city on edge with threatening messages on Gunther’s social media accounts, posting statements such as “Buckle up Nirvana” and “if I were you, I would be taking my chances in the Wastes.” These posts followed after a seemingly prolonged spell of inactivity on the account, Gunther not having posted for the past 7 months prior. The Diamond Knuckle Gang is infamous for its standing as the largest criminal organisation in the nation and so such threats are not to be dismissed. Make sure to continue tuning in to Channel 1 to be the first to hear how this situation progresses."

"Get out of the way! Let the man through! Oh for God’s sake, get your hands off of me! We already told you, he’s not taking any unscheduled visitors! And unlike you all, this one actually has an appointment, so get out of his way! I am this close to doing more than just waving this taser around, I’ll remind you we aren’t given these just for show. That’s right, back on up now. This place is littered with cameras and we’re in every right to arrest all of you, this is blatant trespassing."
