Female - Chaos/Void Anomaly / Multi-dimensional Entity
Vocal Style: Non-human, void/chaos-corrupted, shifting pitch. Needs raw vocal elasticity (screams, clicks, wet gasps, glottal stops, reversed-sounding phonemes).
Vocal Tone: Gritty, sharp, high energy with a slightly ragged edge. Think a hyper-focused

  • Personality / Context: Relentless, fast and slow talking, entirely unimpressed by authority.
    Hollow / Cavernous: Sounds like the voice is echoing out of a dry, empty shell, lacking any human warmth or full chest resonance.

  • Spectral / Ethereal: Floating, disconnected, and unnaturally light, like a ghost whisper that shouldn't have enough physical force to carry in the room, but somehow cuts right through.

  • Desiccated / Dry Rasp: That raspy, papery, crackling air texture on the edges of words, like breathing through a parched, dry throat.

  • Sub-vocal / Wheezing: Almost spoken on an in-breath or an exhausted exhale, giving it that unsettling, non-human breathing pattern.

    Dry File: Raw, unprocessed mic audio

    and or

  • FX File: Have fun with pitch-bending, bit-crushers, reversing, or throat/glottal textures!

    Show us your take on her corrupted voice.

Voice description:
  • female adult
  • I don't just want your life... I'm going to erase every version of you across every timeline!

  • One wrong move... one tiny decision... and everything crumbles. It all snaps. It just... all falls apart

  • Takes a hard blow -> morphs into a hollow, raspy, spectral laugh that bleeds into raw void static.

  • Archetype: Shadow Hunter / Corporate Asset Recovery (Redacted)

  • Lore Context: A ghost in the machine. A corporate cleaner whose former employer no longer exists, largely because of him. He doesn't fight on the front lines, he fights from behind the people doing the shooting, slipping through the cracks with unauthorized prototype cloaking hardware.

    Vocal Tone & Personality: Egotistical, slick, manipulative, and deadpan. He’s an unapologetic asshole with supreme confidence, sneaky, calculated, and relentlessly determined. His delivery should drip with casual superiority, like someone who knows he holds all the cards and is already three steps ahead of you.

  • I was here the whole time.(Deadpan, whispered close to the mic, dripping with smug condescension.)

  • Oh no... my camera's broken. Give me a corpse... wait, wrong script again. (mocking cypher from valorant)Performance Note: Starts with fake, dry panic, slips effortlessly into a mocking imitation, and ends with a cynical, bored exhale mocking sigh , Shows off his supreme ego and total lack of respect for standard intel ops

  • Vex... you might be a reality-warping chaos anomaly, but at the end of the day? You're just an unfiled liability. And I'm the cleaner.

Role Type: Main / Character Voice (Villain Vanguard)

Gender: Female

Age: Indeterminate / Void-Corrupted

Vocal Range: Mid to Low, Cold, Authoritative, Unsettlingly Calming

Description & Character Background

They found her in the debris of a collapsed timeline, patching wounds that no longer existed on patients who no longer did either. Her tissue is entirely anomaly residue now, no heartbeat, no record the Regulators dare certify. She became the wound she was sent to heal, and she is very generous about sharing it.

Tone & Voice Direction:
Lilith is not a screaming, manic villain. She is an FLS Warden whose mind was entirely consumed by the void anomaly she tried to fix. Her vocal performance should be detached, terrifyingly calm, and coldly intimate. She speaks with absolute tactical control, treating immense battlefield damage and emotional trauma as routine administrative work.

Imagine an airy, smooth arrogance (similar to Reyna in VALORANT). Her voice is gentle yet sinister, exceptionally calm, intelligent, and unhurried. There is immense power hidden behind her quiet, composed delivery. She isn't shouting, she speaks like someone who has already won and is just waiting for you to realize it.

Voice description:
  • calm
  • gentle
  • female adult
  • powerful
  • intelligent
  • serious
  • villain
  • commanding
  • They sent me to patch this timeline... but I'd rather watch it bleed (Cold, unbothered, absolute confidence. Zero hesitation.)

  • Suffer the decay... Time stops for no one, least of all you (Direction: Slow, menacing delivery)

  • You're tired, Zypher. I remember how you used to fight it back then, too... Just take off the helmet. Let me fix you like I fixed myself You're tired, Zeffer. I remember how you used to fight it back then, too... Just take off the helmet. Let me fix you like I fixed myselfDirection: Soft, terrifyingly intimate. Spoken like a haunting ghost whispering a shared memory across the battlefield.)

Description & Character Background

Zypher is a hero fighting a brutal two-front war. During a catastrophic timeline collapse, she watched her best friend, Lilith, get swallowed by void corruption after a desperate attempt to save her. Zypher barely escaped—mutated, broken, and unknowingly infected by a Chaos Worm that is actively evolving into a Chaos Wyvern inside her body.


To hide her terrifying serpentine adaptation and suppress the parasite trying to rewrite her mind, she locks herself inside a heavy tactical helmet. Driven by suffocating survivor's guilt, she fights on the frontlines to protect what's left of humanity, harboring a tragic vow to give her former best friend a mercy kill.

Tone & Voice Direction:

Zepher’s performance is grounded, serious, fiercely determined, and carrying palpable strain. She is constantly keeping a literal beast in check under her armor. When she speaks, there is grit, resolve, and a deep emotional scar. She isn't a mindless berserker, she is a protector holding the line through pure willpower and heart.

  • As long as I can draw breath... this monster stays locked inside. Hold the Line! (Direction: Heavy breath, locking her helmet down. Fierce, unwavering resolve despite the pain.)

  • You sacrificed yourself to save me, Lilith... I won't spit on your memory by surrendering to the decay! I'll put you to rest... even if it destroys me! (Direction: Voice cracking with a mix of heartbroken grief, rage, and agonizing restraint. Responding to Lilith telling her to take off the helmet.)

  • (quips) "Rally up!" (Direction: Sharp, authoritative, protective. Command voice with zero hesitate.) - "Hold the line!" (Direction: Gritted teeth, grounded, immovable resolve.) - Not bad! Keep that up and I might actually let you drive next time." (Direction: Bright, proud big-sister energy, genuinely cheering on a teammate.)

Role assigned to: Matthew Chang

  • (Play-by-Play Announcer) Male

  • Tone: Level, professional, dry, and thoroughly unbothered by the chaos.

  • Direction: Treat absolute man wide carnage with the strict, exhausted composure of a corporate broadcaster. He acts as the ultimate contrast to Vee’s unhinged color commentary.

  • (staging intro+outro)"We are live from the Fracture. Payload on the rail, pride on the line." "And we are live!" "Heat-map says the action is {Ember wharehouse} right now." "*Final horn sound* — {Azure} takes it 3 to 1."

  • (Banter with Vee)"The void claims another professional." "You were banned from that parking lot, Vee." "Stat desk also said the void was "mostly safe." Take it with salt." "Do YOU have a mute button?" "Fine. Fifty credits."

  • (Tactical Callouts & Environment)"That is a void death. No attacker credit." "Lost the trace on {Lilith}." "Broadcast sweep found a flanker in the open."
