—Description:
Roxana Agriche is a complex character who uses her cunning and manipulation skills to survive in a harsh environment while also grappling with the toll her actions take on her own sense of self and morality.
As a child, Roxana had no initial desire to follow her cruel family traditions. However, her brother Achille Agriche's death was a wake-up call that led her to work for her father's favor. On the surface, she is always ready to do as told by Lante, working hard to please him and make him proud, hence why he has declared multiple times with pride that she takes after him in many ways. On the inside, she would fully express all her disgust toward her whole family besides Jeremy to a certain extent.
—Voice:
19 yr old, Young Adult; Feminine voice that embodies the qualities of a cunning personality (Eg. smoothness, silkiness, and confidence) That can convey authority and power while retaining a consistent air of intrigue and sensuality as well as a sense of subtle manipulation and deceit through their vocal performance with seductive undertones.
(Bitter/Regretful) Mother, I've finally become the person you wanted me to be. An exceptional Agriche most comparable to father. Aah, it's truly- Disgusting.
Father. The Pedalians are known to be righteous judges. Among them, the prince of blue is known as the Pedelian of Pedelians. That noble Pedalian... doesn't the sight of him pinned underneath my foot, dirtily barking like a dog in rut— seem quite fun?
(Devilish/Loathing) Do you know how 'disgusted' I was? ..every time I saw your wretched face, I've wondered how I should kill you to shatter what little hope and pride you have left.
—Description:
Cassis is very innocent and has a very black and white world view, at the beginning of the story. The Pedelians are known to be virtuous and impartial and Cassis is considered the most upstanding of them all. However, he undergoes a transformation when imprisoned, tortured, and exposed to the internal operations of the Agriche family. He is one of the only characters shown not instantly falling for Roxana's looks.
—Voice:
20 yr old, Young Adult; Masculine voice that can project a sense of unwavering certainty and strong moral code capable of inspiring both respect and fear with a sense of purpose and conviction.
—Note:
When choosing actors, I will prioritize those who are skilled at delivering emotional performances, as the role requires a lot of vocalization/efforts such as grunts, groans, and growls, as well as emotional voice acting.
(Fondly) The night air is chilly, so wear this before you go. -small chuckle- Its like the one I gave you last night... needless to say, you don't have to return this either.
(Lots of Yelling) What did you feed me?!....Hah! if that really was an antidote, what are you plotting by giving it to me? Filthy Agriche dog! Who are you?! Answer me!
(Narrating) As expected, this family is strange. Social norms, law, ethics- all of them become useless here. Anyone who stays here, no matter who they are... would it difficult to stay sane.
—Description:
Jeremy is childish, very reckless, and tends to have random explosive outbursts that are a byproduct of him just following-the-flow, being in the moment, rather than thinking beyond that. For him, what matters is his feelings, personal beliefs, personal values, and maintaining a positive relationship with his sister Roxana.
—Voice:
17/18 yr old, Teen; I need a youthful VA who can portray a character with a tendency towards impulsiveness and emotional intensity. The character is often emotionally volatile, and the voice actor should be capable of conveying this through their vocal performance. The voice should have a slightly higher pitch or exaggerated tone to emphasize the character's immaturity and impulsiveness. There might be a sadistic quality to his voice to convey a sense of crazed intensity.
—Note:
Prioritizing skills in seamless switches between "crazy" outbursts and "normal" dialogue. Especially those of strong vocal range to sell the contrast.
Aunt, clean out your ears and listen carefully. The only person in the whole world who can use the term 'sibling' with my sister is me and me only. Do you understand?
(Pissed) I'm annoyed because of that fucking asshole are you going to piss me off too? (Realization) Ah- right, there was this moron too. -Devilish cackle-
(Plenty of Screaming) You bastard!! If I catch you, you're dead! ...Since you're so good at avoiding me like the rat bastard you are. How about you stop running away?!
—Description:
Deon stands out as an exceptionally intelligent and ruthless member of the Agriche family, even when compared to his siblings. He seldom displays emotions unless they concern his half-sister, Roxana. As the epitome of the 'silent assassin' archetype, he executes his missions with chilling efficiency, disregarding any moral implications.
—Voice:
21 yr old, Young Adult; Masculine voice with sense of cold, calculating intelligence and ruthlessness. The voice should be deep, smooth, and even-toned, with a hint of coldness or aloofness. As Deon rarely shows emotions, the voice actor should also use a controlled and reserved tone when delivering lines. Additionally, line delivery is without much emotional inflection, except in scenes involving Roxana, where you may need to demonstrate slyness or sadism.
What do you think I should do? Should I send a search party to the southern border first. (Chilling) Or.... perhaps, lay the withered corpse of Cassis Pedelian right by your feet.
(Disappointment) you really haven't changed. You would've been cute, if only your head was a little empty, but the things you do truly are pathetic.
(Almost playful sounding) It's been a while since I've seen you angry like this. So my mood isn't bad. But, as expected... (Sadism) it would have been better if you cried like you did back then.
—Description:
Lante is a merciless individual who values obedience above all else, even the lives of his own offspring. He sees himself as the undisputed leader of the Agriche family, and expects his children to serve him unquestioningly, akin to dogs obeying their master. Any sign of disobedience or disloyalty is met with swift and unforgiving consequences, and he has no qualms about eliminating any child who fails to meet his expectations or poses a threat to his power.
—Voice:
40 yr old, Adult; Arrogance and superiority to his voice is crucial and should have a rough, throaty quality due to his chain smoking habit, and a touch of maniacal glee when he discusses his power and control over his family. Essentially, convey his violent tendencies and utter lack of empathy or compassion towards his own children.
—Note:
When selecting, priority will be given to those with an older and deeper sounding voice, as Lante is the father and head of the Agriche household.
(Diabolical) -Maniacal laughter- Thats right. An ending like that fits Pedelian rats very well. As expected of you to think of this, Roxana. You always live up to my expectations.
-Chuckle- You are quick-witted, as expected, Roxanne. You resemble me.
(Bleeding) Ack!!! -Cough- T..that little brat! Hurry up.. kill her...! De..on!!!
—Description:
Sierra is a shy and mild-tempered woman who cares about her children, whom she always reminded to become "true Agriche's". Her relationship with her daughter Roxana Agriche grew cold after her son Achille Agriche didn't pass a special test and was disposed, because of it.
—Voice:
30 yr old, Adult; Ability to convey a range of emotions, from warmth and care to sorrow and cowardice in subtle emotional shifts. Ideally, calming and gentle with a hint of maturity, embodying the tender, nurturing qualities of a mother.
—Note:
Extremely emotional lines, often shouting, and grieving.
(Shout/Shakiness) L-Lewel did nothing wrong! It was my mistake. (More Shakiness) S-so the reason to call for a punishment is...
(Traumatic/Crying) Stop... no... stop.. don't kill him. Ashil... don't kill Ashil.
(Monologue) What is she talking about? Is Agriche going to perish? (Nervousness) Then, what about Roxanne! If I go, won't she be left alone?!
—Description:
As a Pedelian, Sylvia is virtuous and impartial. She is kind and courageous, the average qualities for a female lead. She is a sweet, soft teenage girl who knows when to be distant. As the original female lead, Sylvia gets kidnapped by the Agriche Family. While there she learns of her older brother's death and suffers from a mental breakdown. Triggered by this, she destroys the Agriche family.
—Voice:
17 yr old, Teen; Youthful, gentle quality that reflects Sylvia's kind and soft nature as a teenage girl. However, we're looking for a convincing portrayal of Sylvia's mental breakdown and subsequent rage following the death of her brother.
—Note:
Minor character with a short but incredibly emotional and impactful scene. During selection, our main priority will be the more subtle yet impactful voices that sell her anger and disparity.
(Quiet) ...up... (Shouting getting gradually louder) Shut up! Shut up...! Shut your mouth this instant!!!
(Running) Brother! Wait!! -pant- you... you have to be careful. Okay?
