[APOLLO] Spice of Life: Season 4 -- CASTING CALL

Alrighty! New season, new house! Would have liked to keep the old one. Easier to budget for just a renovation.

The excitement over that finale surely made it easier to convince the extra funding would be worth it though, yes?

Yeah, but they won’t like it if we have to do it again. We’ll wait another 3 seasons or so before we let the house get destroyed again.

Are you going to continue blathering about funding or are we going to get to the important part?

Absolutely! So this season we’re starting with 20 contestants! I’ve got a few picks myself, but there were a lot of entries! I’d like everybody to tell me about their favorites. We need to fill 20 slots, each with a different species, as you know, so make sure you tell me about plenty that have caught your eye.

Applicant name: (Season 1 got complaints for referring to the contestants as simply ‘Apidee’ or ‘Mite’)
Applicant species: (Since this is the entire gimmick of our show)
Strongest ability: (Strength, Intelligence, Charisma, Endurance, Agility, Luck)
Weakest ability: (Strength, Intelligence, Charisma, Endurance, Agility, Luck)
Most notable Trait: (Viewers need something obvious to attach to in order to remember them!)
Bio: (A nice two to three sentence blurb about them we might be able to put on the website)

I’ve got a few picks of my own-

And can we please turn on the damn lights?



Better.

I still don’t understand your problem.

Jewel can be slightly self-centered, but she rarely ever insults others directly. She also tends to intentionally mislead or confuse others with her odd way of speaking.

SpoilerShow

One of the main reasons why she was forced by her adoptive family to attempt to participate in this game show was for her to take a shot at trying to rake in enough money to bring them out of their financial dip. She wasn't really doing much at the establishment, anyways.

He talks VERY LOUD AND BOISTEROUSLY, usually about the zillions of famous orchestras and choirs he's worked for. He also carries his baton everywhere- he thinks if he can conduct while he talks he can intimidate people into listening to him. He's definitely a "wise" old bossman, and there's "no reason" whatsoever to mention that his advice is dated.

SpoilerShow

There's a rumor going around that his baton is literally a magic wand. There's no way that this can be true. It's likely he invented this story for his grandkids, so if questioned, he'll try not to break the magic.

Bio: A proud (unemployed) Demolition Worker, not that you tell by her dress, a rather un-budryft-like number, more fit for an office or a school. Fitting, since she spent over a millennia in one. Frozen in cryostasis. The world has changed a lot since her big freeze: Homeworld gone, her own kind seems strange to her, and hates her for no discernible reason except she wasn't there when whatever it was happened.
Notes:Putting her on the show will likely get the show banned on any budryft-colony world. This wouldn't be a big deal, but that will likely include Pterreils. Not sure if that's a concern. Also she asked if she could bring a sledgehammer.

SpoilerShow

rewrote the bio, as it was more about her past than her

Originally putting her career in demolition on pause to swap her second profession from 'paper pusher' to 'architect', a visit to Zulric ended up changing everything. A fateful collapse at the research-facility-turn-college forced her into cryostasis until a rescue could be mounted. But that rescue never came; Mayleen was found well over a millennia later when the collapsed room was excavated for re-purposing. The world she woke to was changed: Her homeworld was "gone", something was off about the rest of her kind; even declaring her "dead" to them for no reason.
