Role: Fossi6598
Supporting Lead and Antagonist
Fossi begins as a seemingly ordinary player who asks Zelie for help in their world, due to corruption. They appear friendly, desperate, and exhausted after being trapped in a endless time loop for days. As the story progresses, Fossi and Zelie are investigating the mystery while Fossi occasionally will contradict themselves, avoid questions, and basically gaslight Zelie. Something isn't exactly right but its hard to tell if they are hiding something.
What I'm looking for:
-Able to portray desperation, fear, frustration, and hopelessness.
-Comfortable performing emotional scenes
-Acting feels natural and able to convey subtle emotional shifts
-Making the character Fossi seem trustworthy while giving slight hints something is wrong
Fossi should NOT seem like the obvious villain. Their dear and desperation should feel real to keep Zelie and the audience questioning what's really going on.

I've tried everything I can think of to leave the forsaken world. I've been stuck here for days and I genuinely don't know else to do anymore. You're the first person who's actually been able to experience the timeloop with me, I can't do this alone anymore. Please."

Emotion: Fear, Desperation, Guilt, Defensive "I’m so scared rn, this whole thing has just been so stressful I can’t remember what I have or haven’t done. From my understanding everything just reset. To think that things just didn’t reset all the way out there, it was right under my nose this whole time. I have been out there, I just went in a different direction and confused cords. You must think I’m useless to you. I’m so sorry Zelie. I’m sorry I got you stuck here, I’m sorry I had to put you through this"
Context: This line is short, I just wanna see if you can convey it in a very unsettling was Emotion: Calm, Calculated, Unsettling, Confident "You have given me something I never could have found on my own. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you Zelie."
