NOTE: This is an existing character in the mod that I'm unfortunately having to recast. I felt like the performance the current voice actor did was absolutely spot-on, so if you could mimic it that'd be great. That said, if you feel you have a different voice or accent that would work well for the character, definitely audition anyway! Here's a clip of how General Ward currently sounds: https://youtu.be/ZHfwY1sKUMs
General Russel Ward was born before the Great Nuclear War. Having served in the US Army for 15 years, he was about to be transferred to the Gobi Military Campaign (the American invasion of China in retaliation to the Chinese invasion of Alaska) during the Resource Wars.
Due to his exceptional skill, he was shortlisted as one of a few key members to be cryogenically preserved in the secret government wing of Vault 111 in the event of a Nuclear War, who would then work to restore order with other members of the Enclave.
Him and the others were never “thawed” out due to the mysterious disappearance of all Vault-Tec personnel, and the player finally wakes them multiple decades late.
He is reserved and stern, refusing to share personal details with others but willing to give praise when he feels it is deserved. He is also not above intimidating others to get the work done, and is a firm believer that the Ends justify the Means.
He will have some (But not many) in-combat lines, so keep in mind that you will need to be able to shout!
