Blackwood Tales

A healer and hunter raised alongside her brothers in the forests of Terrinia. Compassionate but fierce when pushed, Lyra carries the burden of believing she must protect everyone around her, even when doing so tears her apart emotionally. Though not a traditional warrior, she is far from helpless.

Lyra should sound grounded, emotionally layered, and increasingly strained under pressure. Her default tone is calm and compassionate, shaped by a healer’s mindset. When conflict escalates, her voice should tighten rather than harden—controlled panic bleeding into determination.

She is not a warrior by nature, so moments of aggression should feel learned, not instinctive. When she chooses violence or direct action, it should feel consequential and internally resisted.

The eldest of the Blackwood siblings and a hardened warrior willing to do whatever is necessary to keep his family safe. Beneath his intimidating strength is a deeply caring man terrified of losing control of the violent power awakening inside him. His journey explores the line between protector and monster.

Doren should sound steady, grounded, and physically assured. His voice carries natural weight rather than theatrical authority—he is a protector first, not a speaker. Under stress, he becomes more direct and clipped, focusing on action over explanation.

There is a controlled intensity beneath his calm. When pushed into combat or protection mode, his tone should shift into something sharper and more dangerous, but still disciplined rather than chaotic.

An ancient dragon and a powerful ally to Ortaiga and his companions. Gratolas fought alongside Tobias Blackwood in a past era and carries the weight of that history into the present. He speaks directly, acts with authority, and chooses his trust carefully, but once given, it is absolute.

Mysterious but not evasive, Gratolas is driven by a long-standing desire to see the world freed from the forces that bind and corrupt it. Despite his immense power, he is measured in how and when he intervenes, remaining fiercely loyal to those he has accepted as his own.

Gratolas should sound ancient, deliberate, and deeply controlled. His voice carries natural authority without effort or performance. Every word feels considered before it is spoken, as though it has already been weighed against centuries of experience.

He is not warm in a conventional sense, but he is not hostile either. His tone is steady, almost elemental—like something old enough to have stopped needing to prove itself. When he speaks about freedom or the world, there should be quiet conviction rather than passion.

**Note:** Some narration will be required for this role.

A mysterious Kitsune with a sharp tongue, dangerous intelligence, and far more secrets than she willingly admits. Elegant, manipulative, and emotionally guarded, Solare hides deep loneliness beneath humor and confidence. Despite her reputation, she has spent centuries trying to become something better than what the world expects her to be.

Solare should sound elegant, controlled, and deliberately composed. Her speech is often precise and slightly theatrical, as though she is always aware of how she is being perceived. There is a natural charm to her voice, but it is not purely warm—it carries intention behind it.

When relaxed, she can sound almost playful or teasing. Under pressure, that composure tightens, revealing something sharper and more guarded beneath the surface. Even in vulnerability, she rarely sounds truly exposed—only carefully managed.

• Some intimate seens between Solare, Rheea  and Ortaiga may occur. If you are not comfortable with this, please refrane from auditioning for this charactar.

A Vulperin soldier from another world whose advanced technology appears almost magical to the people of Terinia. Rheea is highly disciplined and tactically trained, but unlike a purely restrained operative, she feels everything deeply and carries intense emotional weight beneath her composed exterior. Her loyalty is absolute once earned, and she protects those she cares about with fierce, unwavering commitment.

She struggles with guilt and responsibility, often placing the burden of others’ safety entirely on herself.

Rheea should sound controlled, but not emotionally distant. Her control comes from discipline, not detachment. Beneath every line is strong emotional investment—loyalty, fear of failure, protectiveness, and attachment all sit just under the surface of her speech.

She is deeply expressive in feeling, but rarely uncontrolled in delivery. When she speaks, it should feel like she is actively holding herself together rather than suppressing emotion entirely. In high-stress moments, cracks should appear as urgency, sharpened tone, or rapid emotional prioritization—not emptiness.

When she cares, it is absolute. That care should be audible even when she tries to mask it with tactical thinking or command structure.

• Some intimate seens between Rheea, Solare and Ortaiga may occur. If you are not comfortable with this, please refrane from auditioning for this charactar.
• Some narration will be required for this role.

A young werewolf who became Solare’s first true companion after losing his pack to a disaster they refused to flee from. Loyal, resilient, and fiercely protective, Fin throws himself fully behind the people he trusts, even when fear or grief cloud his judgment. Though impulsive and quick to assume the worst, he carries a deep emotional sincerity beneath his rough edges, and his bond with Solare remains one of the strongest connections in his life.

Fin should sound emotionally open, energetic, and instinct-driven. He speaks quickly when excited or stressed, often reacting before fully thinking things through. There is a youthful edge to his voice, but also underlying emotional weight shaped by abandonment, grief, and survival.

He tends to assume danger first and trust second, especially when the people he cares about are threatened. Even so, his loyalty is immediate and fierce once someone earns it. Beneath the defensiveness and impulsiveness is someone deeply afraid of losing the few connections he has left.

A ruthless officer of the king’s guard who values order and authority above compassion. Holt believes strength and obedience are the foundation of civilization, making him a dangerous enemy to anyone who threatens the kingdom’s control. Cold, ambitious, and unforgiving, he serves as one of the first major obstacles standing in the protagonists’ path.

Captain Holt should sound authoritative, rigid, and institutionally confident. His voice reflects rank and enforcement rather than personal conviction—he speaks as an extension of law, not as an individual. There is little emotional variance; instead, his delivery should feel procedural, as if morality has already been decided by the system he represents.

When challenged, his tone becomes sharper and more forceful, but not chaotic. Even anger is structured. He does not debate—he asserts.

The late uncle of the Blackwood siblings, remembered through lessons, memories, and the impact he left behind. A survivalist, hunter, and mentor, Grant helped shape the values that continue to guide Ortaiga, Lyra, and Doren long after his death.

Grant should sound grounded, practical, and quietly authoritative. His tone is not ceremonial or distant—he speaks like someone who has lived through survival rather than theory. There is a steady, no-nonsense quality to his delivery, with an underlying warmth that becomes more apparent in moments of instruction or memory.

He is not overly emotional in expression, but he is deeply caring. That care comes through in what he chooses to teach, protect, and remember, rather than in overt sentimentality. When serious, his voice should feel immovable—like experience turned into instinct.

The matriarch of the Blackwood family and the woman responsible for raising Ortaiga, Lyra, and Doren after the loss of their parents. A healer, herbalist, and survivor of countless hardships, she taught the siblings many of the skills that continue to define them — from medicine and wilderness survival to resilience in the face of suffering.

Though stern and deeply practical, her wisdom shaped the moral foundation of the Blackwood family. Much of the compassion, stubbornness, and protective nature seen in the siblings can be traced directly back to her influence.

Grandmother Blackwood should sound calm, patient, and deeply rooted in lived experience. Her voice carries quiet authority without needing force or volume. There is a steady warmth to her delivery, but it is not soft in a fragile sense—it is resilient, like something that has endured and continues to endure.

She speaks with intention and clarity, often pausing naturally as though allowing meaning to settle rather than rushing through it. When she corrects or guides, it should feel firm but nurturing, shaped by long practice rather than emotion alone.

A Luperin warrior and one of Rheea’s oldest companions. Towering, disciplined, and fiercely protective, Surren serves as both shield and moral anchor for her crew. Though intimidating at first glance, she values honesty, loyalty, and emotional strength above brute force, believing true leadership comes from accepting failure rather than denying it.

Surren should sound composed, steady, and physically assured. Her presence carries weight without effort, and her voice reflects disciplined control under pressure. She is not emotionally distant, but she is highly regulated—rarely wasting words and rarely showing vulnerability in an obvious way.

When speaking to others, she often comes across as direct and slightly intimidating, especially in tense situations. Beneath that exterior, there is a strong sense of responsibility and protective instinct that occasionally surfaces in brief, softened moments or quiet concern.

A Vulperin navigator , assassin, and trusted member of Rheea’s crew whose quiet emotional insight often steadies those around her. Gentle in demeanor but unwavering in conviction, Mira possesses a rare ability to see through fear and self-deception. Her loyalty to Rheea runs deep, making their separation far more painful than either wishes to admit.

Mira should sound warm, perceptive, and emotionally present. Her voice carries natural openness, with an ease in expression that makes her feel approachable even in tense situations. She is attentive to people and surroundings, often responding in a way that acknowledges both spoken and unspoken emotion.

Despite her gentler presence, she is not fragile. Under pressure, her tone sharpens with quiet resolve rather than panic. She expresses concern directly and sincerely, sometimes with an almost disarming honesty that contrasts more guarded personalities around her.

• If you wish to play Mira, some singing talent is required. You need not be a professional leval singer, but you do need to be able to sing on more than just a basic levle.

• Some intimate seens between Mira and Cursman may occur. If you are not comfortable with this, please refrane from auditioning for this charactar.

• Some narration will be required for this role.

A Tokren engineer and the technical core of Rheea’s crew. Calm under pressure and highly intelligent, she specializes in repairing and building complex systems in extreme conditions.

Talla is known for unconventional, often extreme solutions that most others would dismiss as impossible, yet which consistently work. Beneath her composed exterior lies a sharp, inventive mind with a quiet streak of chaotic creativity, always focused on keeping her crew alive.

Talla should sound highly intelligent, calm under pressure, and slightly unpredictable in a way that reflects creative problem-solving. Her speech is precise and efficient, often cutting directly to conclusions rather than explanations. She processes problems quickly and tends to verbalize solutions as they form, sometimes mid-thought.

Despite her analytical mind, she is not emotionally detached. There is a controlled intensity to her focus, and a subtle streak of chaotic creativity that appears when conventional approaches fail. In stressful situations, she becomes even more functional, not less—calm, fast, and unsettlingly confident in unconventional outcomes.

A battle-scarred Luperin serving the Coalition during a time of growing unrest across the galaxy. Hardened by war and years of impossible choices, Goreth believes survival often demands compromise, obedience, and sacrifice. Though not cruel by nature, he has spent long enough inside the Coalition machine to become part of it, carrying out orders he may not fully believe in because he no longer sees another path forward.

Pragmatic, intimidating, and morally gray, Goreth serves as a reminder that not everyone trapped within a corrupt system is purely villainous — but neither are they innocent.

Goreth should sound disciplined, guarded, and emotionally conflicted beneath a controlled exterior. His voice carries the weight of someone who has spent a long time compromising parts of himself in order to survive within a system he no longer fully believes in.

He is not openly cruel, but there is hardness in him shaped by duty, fear, and resignation. When speaking formally, he sounds measured and authoritative. In more personal moments, subtle exhaustion and frustration should bleed through the cracks in his composure.

Known to some as the Fox of the Fallen Star, Cursman Blackflame is a mysterious fox-like being descended partly from Vulperin And Kitsune bloodlines. Though many mistake him for just another Kitsune, his power is something stranger — celestial fire intertwined with dark magic feared across the world. Openly compassionate and fiercely protective, Cursman stands in direct opposition to the world’s assumptions about what beings like him are supposed to become.

Cursman should sound direct, emotionally sincere, and quietly intense. Unlike more elusive or manipulative personalities, he speaks openly and with very little performative masking. His voice carries both warmth and exhaustion, shaped by someone who continues protecting others despite rejection, fear, or mistrust.

There is strength in his delivery, but also restraint. He should sound like someone constantly holding destructive power under control—not through fear of himself, but through determination to never become what others expect him to be.

• If you wish to play Cursman, some singing talent is required. You need not be a professional leval singer, but you do need to be able to sing on more than just a basic levle.

• Some intimate seens between Cursman and Mira may occur. If you are not comfortable with this, please refrane from auditioning for this charactar.

• Some narration will be required for this role.

A weary warrior tied to the mysteries of the Fluxwater and the echoes it leaves behind. Hardened by loss, failure, and countless battles, Clint carries himself like a man who has survived long after hope should have died. Beneath the exhaustion remains someone who never stopped protecting others — even after he stopped believing victory was possible.

Clint should sound worn, restrained, and emotionally exhausted beneath controlled composure. His voice carries the weight of someone who has survived too much for too long without ever truly stopping to recover. He is not emotionless, but he has learned to bury most reactions beneath dry pragmatism and constant forward momentum.

There should still be traces of the person he once was—humor, compassion, protectiveness—but all of it feels weathered by grief and repetition. When anger or pain surfaces, it should feel dangerous precisely because he usually keeps it contained.

A darksmith and wandering inventor whose mastery of feared magic has made him both valuable and dangerous in the eyes of others. Having studied fragments of the lost martial traditions of Narath, Jamarn combines craftsmanship, magical engineering, and combat expertise into a style uniquely his own. Beneath his humor and practicality lies someone deeply aware of how easily noble people destroy themselves trying to save the world.

Jamarn should sound confident, intelligent, and emotionally grounded beneath a layer of dry humor and practicality. He is the kind of person who stays functional during chaos, often masking stress with wit or casual observation rather than panic.

His voice should carry the sense of someone constantly thinking several steps ahead, especially when discussing tools, weapons, or strategy. Even so, there is genuine compassion beneath his sarcasm and confidence. He builds and invents to protect people, not simply because he enjoys creation itself.

The last known survivor of Narath, an ancient civilization whose techniques and philosophies shaped entire eras before its destruction. Calm, restrained, and quietly compassionate, Yanlyn carries the unbearable weight of preserving a dead culture alone. To some he appears merely a wandering fighter or scholar, but beneath that mask lies one of the last living remnants of a forgotten age.

Yanlyn should sound calm, restrained, and deeply self-controlled. His voice carries quiet authority born from experience rather than dominance, and he rarely wastes words or emotional energy unnecessarily. Even in dangerous situations, he maintains remarkable composure.

There is compassion beneath his restraint, but also profound weariness. He speaks like someone who has survived the collapse of things larger than himself and learned to carry grief without letting it consume him. When he becomes serious, his tone should sharpen with absolute clarity rather than volume.

A high-ranking Coalition admiral operating within the broader galactic military structure. Chuvvar is pragmatic, aggressive, and openly contemptuous of species she considers weaker or inferior. She enforces Coalition expansion policies with efficiency, treating resistance as an obstacle to be removed rather than negotiated with. While disciplined in command, her worldview is explicitly hierarchical, and she sees subjugation as both justified and inevitable under Coalition doctrine. Her loyalty lies with strength, control, and dominance.

Admiral Chuvvar speaks with sharp precision and cold confidence. Her tone is efficient, often dismissive, and carries a sense of superiority toward those she deems weaker. There is no warmth in her delivery—only judgment and execution.

She should sound like someone who has long since stopped debating morality and instead focuses purely on outcomes.

Jason should sound calm, warm, and grounded. His voice carries natural strength without aggression, with a steady cadence that tends to slow situations down rather than escalate them. Even when he is serious, there is an underlying kindness in the way he speaks.

He is emotionally open in a controlled way — not overly expressive, but never distant. He tends to listen before speaking, and when he does speak, it is usually deliberate and reassuring.

There is a quiet weight behind him from being rejected early in life, but it manifests as empathy rather than bitterness.

A brilliant but dangerously unconventional engineer working with the galactic resistance. Specializing in artificial intelligence and biotechnology, Isaac has heavily modified his own body with experimental cybernetic and biological systems that allow him to interface directly with technology and weaponize electricity itself. Cynical, sharp-witted, and slightly unstable in the eyes of many, he nevertheless remains deeply committed to fighting the systems that exploit and control others.

Isaac should sound sharp, experienced, and slightly unhinged in a controlled sort of way. He carries the energy of someone who is constantly thinking several steps ahead, often speaking with dry humor or cynical observations even during dangerous situations.

Despite the rough edges, he is not bitter. There is still curiosity and genuine care beneath the sarcasm, especially around people he trusts. His voice should feel intelligent and fast-moving, with occasional intensity when discussing technology, experimentation, or systems he finds fascinating.

He has the demeanor of someone who has survived too much to romanticize the world, but not enough to stop trying to improve it anyway.

A hellhound taken from Terinia and weaponized by the Coalition as a living execution tool before being freed by Isaac Ren during his escape from a Coalition prison. Fierce, intimidating, and deeply protective, Sora carries the instincts of a predator shaped by years of abuse and control. Despite her terrifying reputation, she possesses a surprisingly gentle side around those she trusts, especially Isaac and Enec. Now fighting alongside the resistance, she fiercely protects the few people she considers family.

Sora should sound powerful, instinctive, and emotionally intense. There is a dangerous edge to her voice even in calm moments, as though aggression is always sitting just beneath the surface. However, around people she trusts, that intensity softens into surprising gentleness and loyalty.

She spent years being treated like a weapon rather than a person, and traces of that trauma should remain in how guarded or reactive she can become. Even so, she is not emotionless or monstrous. Her protective instincts are fierce, and once someone becomes part of her circle, she defends them without hesitation.

Her speech can be slightly rougher or more direct than many characters, but it should never feel mindless or savage.

An older cousin of the Blackwood siblings and one of the last surviving Coltonnions, a race known for their immense mental abilities and deeply disciplined warrior traditions. Compassionate, emotionally open, and quietly resilient, Enec carries the burden of preserving a nearly extinct culture while still believing it can one day live again. After being imprisoned by the Coalition alongside Isaac Ren, he helped free Sora from the role of mindless execution beast the Coalition forced upon her, forming a close bond with both of them in the process. Though powerful in both mind and spirit, Enec approaches others with understanding rather than superiority, offering support through action, guidance, and genuine connection instead of pity.

Enec should sound calm, emotionally open, and deeply sincere. His voice carries quiet confidence and warmth without becoming overly soft or sentimental. He is the kind of person who tries to steady others simply through presence and understanding.

There should be a sense of discipline beneath his compassion, the feeling of someone trained for both mental and physical conflict from a young age. Even when discussing painful subjects, he rarely sounds bitter or self-pitying. He understands suffering intimately and prefers helping people move forward rather than dwelling in grief.

His emotional honesty should feel genuine and grounding rather than dramatic.

A living Vulperin vessel of ancient origin and the command ship of Rheea Saffron. The Crimson Den is not merely a craft but a sentient presence, capable of thought, emotion, and deep attachment to her crew. Protective, perceptive, and quietly compassionate, she treats those aboard as her responsibility and her family, often expressing concern in ways that feel both alien and deeply personal.

Once partially bound by Coalition-imposed protocols, she initially operates under rigid constraints of control and compliance. After being freed and “reset” through Rheea and Ortaiga’s actions, she begins to fully express her true nature—becoming an active, caring participant in the lives of her crew rather than a restricted instrument of war.

The Crimson Den should feel alive in every sense of the word. Her voice is not mechanical or detached, but layered and organic, as if the ship itself is thinking through countless subtle systems at once.

There is warmth in her tone when she speaks to her crew, though it is unlike human warmth. It feels vast, protective, and patient—like something ancient that has chosen to care. She can sound gentle, curious, and quietly amused, especially when interacting with those she trusts.

At the start of the story, her speech may carry faint remnants of Coalition-imposed restriction protocols: slightly delayed responses, overly formal phrasing in certain contexts, or moments where emotion seems briefly constrained. These should feel like imposed limits rather than her true nature.

After being freed and re-aligned by Rheea and Ortaiga, her voice becomes more fluid and emotionally expressive. She begins speaking with greater spontaneity, showing concern, attachment, and even subtle personality quirks.

Despite her compassion, she is still a vessel built for war and survival. When her crew is threatened, her tone becomes sharp, vast, and unmistakably dangerous—like an entire world shifting its attention toward a single point of harm.
