6 roles
$75 USD // 625 words (Episode 6) The Doctor (he/him) is the middle-aged physician for his village. Prim, proper, and well-groomed, he is perhaps too trusting for his own good. He cares deeply about his town and its inhabitants, and has become the de facto spokesperson for the small group of survivors. He and the Hunter are partners.
$75 USD // 615 words (Episode 6) The Hunter (he/him) is an enigmatic man renowned for his prowess in combating supernatural threats. He comes and goes as he pleases, and his presence in the village brings both relief and disquiet. His primary concern is solving the disappearances and eradicating whatever could be causing them. He has a soft spot for the Doctor, the two of them having been in a casual relationship for years.
$65 USD // 363 words (Episode 6) The Old Woman (she/her) is one of the last remaining residents of her village, stubbornly refusing to leave even as people have begun to disappear. She is cranky, skeptical, and quick to draw her flintlock on anyone who would give her a reason to be suspicious. She harbors an old resentment for mages and their ilk from her religious upbringing.
$50 USD // 183 words (Episode 6) The Mother (she/her) is a woman in her mid-30’s who bears the heavy burden of trying to look after her son alone after the death of her husband. Tired, sad, and beside herself with worry; she cares deeply about her boy and will do everything in her power to protect him.
$50 USD // 115 words (Episode 6) The Boy (he/him) is a sickly child (sounding roughly 7-10 years old) who has been having strange dreams lately. He and his mother are some of the last people to remain in their village. He’s quite chipper, remaining in good spirits despite the strangeness of his situation and his failing health.
(Masc; any) $20 USD // 84 words (Episode 6) The Beast (Masc, any) is a husk possessed by strange, dark magic that embodies the forces of entropy and has been terrorizing the town. Raspy and ghastly, with a voice like wind through bone-dry reeds. (Please do not add any sound effects to your auditions.)
