Maplestory, The Novel: Sacred Tears

Maplestory, The Novel: Sacred Tears

Project Overview

Many Salutations! I am Tatsumari, the director/producer of this project.


IN the world of Usoria, a child named Dane Altoor is born that, for some unknown reason, can sense that the world is extremely out of balance. As he grew, he began to search for what caused the imbalance. He found that the world had absorbed all of the pain, hate, and sorrow of every human that ever lived that wasn't resolved before their death, and dubbed this phenomenon 'The Darkness of the World'. Tradgedy strikes close to home and sets him on a path that to finally find the cure for this Darkness, leading to his 'marriage' to a goddess, and allies created in a order called Aurora. His research leads him to dark places, and eventually, leads to his fall.


Maplestory, The Novel is an Alternate Universe version of the story that is behind the MMORPG Maplestory, with characters and places you may recognize and some you may not. I have been writing this story for over 10 years now, and it has changed many times over that period. Now I am slowly turning the story into an Audiobook/Audio Graphic Novel that is published on Youtube.


Please note that these characters could be considered One-Time Appearance roles, as the next time they appear will be MUCH later in the story. But if you are willing to stick around until they appear again, I would be forever greatful.

If you wish to see what has been created so far, you can check out the playlist here -> https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2z0nExDOrNhh1U52EfmrqGEtlkcMj5zZ 


There are some Rules that I would like you to keep in mind

1. Please have a Discord account. If you are cast, I will invite you to the Discord Server I use to communicate with all the voice talents I work with.

2. Please use at minimum a Blue Yeti Mic with little to no background noise in your recordings (this includes TV and computer fan noises). Also, please make sure that your audio quality is good. (48k sample rate minimum)

3. If you are cast, please make sure to communicate your issues if any should arise. If you are 3 days late in turning in your lines without any communication, you will be recast. 

When you audition, please comment "Cheese Crackers" on your audition so that I know you have read these conditions. Other than that, I hope to work with you in the future!

-T.K.

(Appearance may change slightly for production)


Vulcurion (vul-CURE-ree-on) is one of the stronger recruits for a race known as the Dracova, a half-dragon race of humanoid people. He and his best friend Macross have trained since they could talk to become strong soldiers, with dreams of maybe one day becoming The Keiseer, basically the master guardian for the Dracova.


After completing their training for the armies, it is during the “graduation ceremony” that the current Keiseer, Yeso, comes to the hall to choose her successor. She seems interested in both of the friends and asks the First Keiseer to guide her massive sword to rest on the should of the one she should pick. The sword rested on the shoulder of Vulcurion, instantly sending Macross into a jealous rage. After the Keiseer stopped what could have been a bloody massacre, Keiseer Yeso started training Vulcurion as her successor. After a few months, Macross kills the Counsel of Ten, the ruling body of the Dracova, in an attempt to not only overthrow the government but also become the Keiseer, his perceived right.

With heavy hearts, Yeso and Vulcurion banish Macross from their home, leaving him tied up in Usoria. Since that day, Vulcurion stands watch over Pantheon, the home of the Dracova.


I am looking for a voice to be somewhere ideally in the medium (mid to low Tenor) range, though any range will be considered. Some emotion needs to be delivered, but the majority of the lines are even tempered, but firm. There are a couple lines that will need more force, or emotion in them.


Additional information (for fun):


  1. Trohar-cuin translates to Protector Supreme


  2. Shivi-cova translates to Guard


  3. Keiseer is a modified pronunciation of Kaiser for this story


  4. Dracova is a modified name for the Nova race from the game Maplestory

  • (disappointed, trying to make see) Macross, you’re speaking as though the honor of Keiseer is nothing more than a kludge to lord over the people. Keiseer is our Trothar-cuin, not a tool for conquest. (Keiseer is pronounced kay-eye-seer) (Trothar-cuin is pronounced troh-thar-koo-een)

  • (out of breath, after workout high) All in time, Macross. The Keiseer chooses their successor, not you. Besides, we’re training to become Shivi-cova. (Keiseer is pronounced kay-eye-seer) (Shivi-cova is pronounced shee-vee-koh-vah)

  • (with conviction, explain how you see Keiseer) The Keiseer is our symbol of hope, the one we can rely on to be our Trothar-cuin and a source of strength. The Keiseer is the one that protects the Dracova of Pantheon. The Dracova draw strength from that to protect the ones they love, until everyone is protected, down to the youngest. (Keiseer is pronounced kay-eye-seer) (Trothar-cuin is pronounced TROH-thar-koo-een) (Dracova is pronounced drah-KOH-vah)

Macross and Vulcurion grew up together, listening to the lessons and stories of an elder about the Keiseer, the Master Guardian of the Dracova. He and his friend were both among the strongest of recruits for the Shivi-cova (Dracova Army), but Macross had bigger ambitions than just being a Soldier, he wanted the title and power of the Keiseer for his own.


Of the two friends, Macross was physically stronger, sometimes even called brutal by some of his instructors. During the graduation ceremony of their training, the current Keiseer, Yeso, came to them and said that out of this group, she would choose the next Keiseer. Macross it was sure it would be him, since the only thing he saw the Keiseer good for was power. But when his friend Vulcurion was chosen instead, he snapped, attacking to kill his friend Vulcurion. Keiseer Yeso stopped him, leading to Macross running away for a while. 


When he reappeared, he killed the council of ten, the ruling body of the Dacova, claiming they were the ones that made the entire race weak. As punishment, he was banished from Pantheon, the home island, for the rest of his life, where he is found by Hilda and Arkarium. Afterwards, he takes on the name of Magnus, and begins a (to put it nicely) rough relationship with Hilda (fan fiction version of Hilla). 


I am looking ideally for a voice in the upper-medium range (mid-tenor), and who can portray a lot of passion in their delivery (passion as in forceful conviction) as this character can be quite forceful with his deliveries some times.

  • (proud, teasing) I want to be around to see his face when I’m chosen to be the next Keiseer. (Keiseer is pronounced kay-eye-seer)

  • (angry, frustrated, almost yelling) And what would you know of strength? You’ve been too busy learning how to delegate between the humans and the Dracova. We are better than them, Vulcurion! Where is your draconic heritage?! We don’t need to exist with them; they need to exist with us! And the only way humans understand that is with force. Keiseer is the best way to do that. Don’t you remember the Dra-tiichi’s Lessons? (Dracova is pronounced drah-KOH-vah) (Vulcurion is pronounced vuhl-cure-ree-on) (Dra-tiichi is pronounced draw-tee-chai)

  • (unsure at first, then angry confidence) I… I am Magnus, Drarytiss-cuin of the Dracova. (Drarytiss-cuin is pronounced drah-ree-tees-koo-een)
