The shut-in could be a streamer. Makes just enough to get by, doesn't have to leave his room, gives him a good reason to have high quality computer and audio feed for when he plays with the others. Doesn't use facecam obviously.
Right then, so this is what I came up with:
Max is both a webcomic artist and a streamer of several games on his twitch channel, including League of Legends and DOTA II. He hasn't left his house for five years ever since he had a massive nervous breakdown. He orders his food to his house via a grocery service and through take-out. He mostly communicates with people via chatrooms and the like, although he also uses his recording equipment to speak with people should events require him to. He's currently playing with a game group from a far distance by voicing his moves and seeing the groups actions through their cameras. His figurines he pays Chris to paint, since it'd be cheaper in terms of postage. His webcomic is a generic and unfunny one that references a bit too much of his life as a failure.
Hayden is the narrator in the trailer, which I think is meant to be Quillliam. He sounds like a right twat at any rate, so if we do have an English voice a more working class one would be nice.
The only thing I have in mind is a quiet and subdued voice,, so it really does depend on who does what.
Than it wouldn't be MtF, it would just be a genderfluid type of trans. This conversation is sucking away my brain cells by the minute.
Mmm. New gender, sexuality, and pronouns, getting worse every time. I like it.
Indeed. That's gonna be the schtick, and it'll get more and more ridiculous each episode.
I think that's a good idea. Maybe he gets irritated at the others sometimes.
"You sit and talk to the lich wizard about your pronouns! You bore him too much, and he Meteor Swarms himself repeatedly because he's sick of you."
Stephen, being a sick fuck, attempts to get Aidan to talk about a sexual experience he managed to wrangle due to an accidental 20 and subsequent confirmation on a seduction roll. Aidan, being probably one of the sanest characters here, is trying to subtly say "fuck no" since as an FtM, he's weirded out by playing the girl in this situation. That and fuck that has nothing to do with a good experience. Before Aidan can get to it, Hayden screeches like a potato over what is obviously rape. Cue Aidan facepalming, Gloria toking, Chris whining over not being able to play, and Frank thinking that whining is an artillery round.
And everyone expects him to join in because he's trans (or is he stealth) but he has a personality that doesnt just revolve around gender and sexuality.
Aidan hasn't let anyone know because Stephen is eww. That and since he passes, he doesn't have to bring this up too often. That and fuck Hayden.
I could do the generic streamer/LPer/shut in. Though I do have a terrible accent. Closest I get is a Viennese-English accent. Otherwise when I -do- an American accent, it's very flat and sounds like a computer, or something.
Anyway, adoring the ideas. Seems like we have an excellent cast already.
Just need to sit down for the script.
I work better with idea seeds with scripts. Throw out some ideas that can work for a good pilot, and I'll try and stitch up a decent script.
Also for those interested in VAing for this travesty should state what roles they want to try for now, so I can write a full on list. Since I don't know how interested anyone is in doing what, I'm not too picky on voices other than if they can work for the character.
