Tabula Rasa: We Are the Hollow Ones [RESULTS UP]

EDIT: Results are up! This was an absolutely amazing group of auditions, and there were so many people, thank you all for trying out :D

Don't worry about your character ideas or audition videos, we just want to see your ideas and what you can do. The character stories don't need to be more than really basic ideas.

Come one, come all! This is a new project that I am starting with Blue24601, inspired by her massive "Psychic" project.
Tabula Rasa is a studio of sorts, but not like any other. We will be an editing group in which each member's characters interact with each other and create an ongoing story. We will put together collabs, worms, promos, and MEPs that continue from the premise and delve into the lives of our characters and the true nature of their world. Sound interesting? Audition.

THE STORY: (which was inspired by T.S. Eliot and Karl Marx)
This is a world where there's no middle class - you're either living the high life or you're starving on the streets in horrible, filthy slums. The conflict: you have a mysterious group who's being funded by the wealthy families which is taking a few of the slum dwellers under their wings, but if they don't disappear, they come back changed. Different. A group of slum-dwellers is coming together to form a resistance group, to find out what is truly going on. Are you a rich aristocrat? A member of the resistance? A determined slum-dweller? A member of the organization? One of their "charity cases?" You decide.

TO AUDITION:
Post a recent video of yours. You do not have to make a new one based on the story, although that would certainly earn you some points :)
1. Should be over 1 minute.
2. Should have a story, since this is the kind of editing we will do.
3. Footage is open to any accessible video game that fits the setting: FF, KH, Resonance of Fate, Devil May Cry...
4. You MUST BE COMMITTED. I don't want this project to die after the first project. We have a story to tell. Let's tell it.
5. In your description, say what your top two character choices are, and roughly what role your character would have. For example. Blue's and my stories:

Terra: She woke up on the street of the slums one day with burn marks and no memory. Unsure of who she is, she nevertheless knows she has a tie of some sort to the organization, and she is determined to find out what.

Leanne: Her little sister was taken under the organization's wing, possibly against her will, and she will do anything to get her back.

Auditions will end when we have enough entries. I'm looking for about 10, although it could be a bit more or less, depending.

Also, vid credits:
Song: Plugged In
Artist: Evermore
Clips: Bioshock Infinite, Final Fantasy series, DMC4, Resonance of Fate, Kingdom Hearts

...You see, I finished my audition viddy. It's in youtube now, but... It's blocked in Germany "OTL Just to make sure, are you german? If you are I can give you a download link...

Sorry x_X"

[jafrank88]

@PriscyIchigo I'm not German, so I should be able to see it just fine :)

[PriscyIchigo]

Hmmm... Would be White Knight Chronicles considered fitting? (don't worry, I won't be using the giant knights thing XD)

[jafrank88]

@PriscyIchigo Hmmm, it's sort of on the line, but it would probably be okay. Make sure there is a website where people could easily download the clips though.

[Yunarella]

I have a couple quick things.

Would Twilight Princess be considered fitting footage?

I'm going to put in a video but, if I happen to make something better, that I like more, would it be alright for me to switch them out?

[jafrank88]

@Yunarella Twilight Princess should be fine.

[treasend]

[jafrank88]

@mayallyourbaconburn Yeah, I tried to spread the word out about it, sorry if it didn't get to you :(

[PriscyIchigo]

Okay, character choice update complete. I've now narrowed it down to 3, but I may finally succeed in narrowing it down to 2. We'll see, I guess. XD
