The Main Character of the story. From Blackrock to Plainstown, our hero has obtained a few of the SFOTH swords, closing in on the next. From Kings to Plants, they've fought them all. What's next? Who knows . . .
Since the player is just a noob, an androgynous voice would work best. Their voice would sound young, but not to where it sounds like a child. Just think of a voice you'd think would suit our main character!
- androgynous
[Celebratory] HAHAHA!!! Another battle won! NOTHING can stop me now!
[Confused] I don't get it. You swore to protect your kingdom from its unavoidable doom, so you decided to plunge it into eternal winter?
[Terrified] That . . . THAT'S what the SFOTH swords can do?! It can turn you into a MONSTER?! Then, what can the other swords do to a robloxian?
Shedletsky: The man behind Roblox HQ, where you're going for your adventure . . . and forced to walk around with a cane. Even after being beaten down, he's still holding strong!
The idea behind Shedletsky is that he is a normal dude, but he has "nerdy" aspect to him. A good idea to get an idea of what I mean is Kinger from TADC. This is just an idea, not the voice direction, so PLEASE feel free to tackle this how you see fit!

[In Pain] i . . . don't feel so good. i got pretty banged up there . . . i, don't think I can get up . . . they want to find the- SWORD FIGHT ON THE HEIGHTS swords . . .
[Joy] you've done so much for the people of ROADTOWN already. you brought smiles to their faces. hope to their eyes. you have quite the positive impact. i truly believe that.
[Serious] then there's no time to waste. i haven't heard any distress from the other guardians yet . . . we should use the downtime to grab the GHOSTWALKER!
A young traveler who lives for adventure! She occasionally runs into the player along their journey, and she is a great moral support when talking with her! She seems to care a lot about the player, so let's hope nothing bad happens to her!
There is no real voice direction for Kyoko. Just make her sound like an enthusiastic adventurer and you've hit the mark!
- female young adult
[Enthusiasm] The wilderness is calling to me! I'm on my way to another adventure!
[Concern] Please don't push yourself too hard. Maybe I'm overstepping my boundaries but . . . us adventurers . . . have to stick together, right?
[Joy] You can always count on a fellow adventurer! Just keep your head high, man!
Wanting to satisfy the voices, Griefer took Mayor Thaniel hostage in order to steal the Venomshank. Rude, loud and just a bully, they will make sure nobody gets in their way to achieve his goal.
Griefer is honestly a wild card here. While he is confirmed to be 21, his voice interpretations can go all over the place. Basically, share your own take is what I'm trying to say!
TIP: Don't try to "yell" the lines, rather, focus more onto how you deliver them. Griefer's ALL CAPS is how his text appears, it doesn't mean he is yelling them.

[Angry + Cocky] LOL. YOU THOUGHT. DON'T TRY ANY MORE FUNNY BUSINESS PUNK! I'LL BREAK YO' KNEECAPS!!
[Taunting + Cocky] BACK OFF, PUNK! THE VOICES WARNED ME OF YOU. ALL TALK AND NO BITE! YOU REALLY THINK I'M SCARED?!
[Madness] THE VOICES . . . I CAN HEAR THEM AGAIN . . . AND THEY ALL. WANT ME TO SLICE. YOU. UP. CYA PUNK.
Builderman: the man behind creating Roblox. A man so great and powerful, THEY have captured him for some unknown reason. His location is unknown, and it's the players goal to find and save him.
Builderman would definitely have that "Handyman Twang", but it won't be very heavy. The voice should also have some energy since he is promoting everyone to create and play.
- male adult
[Friendly] I'm sorry, I should introduce myself. I'm David Baszucki, better known as BUILDERMAN.
[Reassuring] Come. Safety is our number one priority. Take a walk with me, and we'll discover yourself together.
[Awe] y-You're much stronger than I imagined . . . You really are SHEDLETSKY's chosen one . . . Thank you for coming to save me.
The father of Red and Blue, but seeing how he and Purple are trying to take the two back, he isn't a good one. While slow, his mace and high damage is a force to be reckoned with.
Green definitely falls into the low vocal range, but medium could be possible if done right. The voice could also have some "Gravel" to it, but it is more of a preference than a requirement. Basically, big rough, tough and gruff guy is what you should aim for.
- male adult
[Pissed] That "BOSS" of an UNCLE of yours took YOU TWO from US! And for WHAT?! Like a couple of kids could outdo US!
[Threatening] While we beat THEM to a pulp, let's teach these kids a lesson, eh?
[Confident] The power of PURPLE and GREEN is tough and mean!
The mother of Red and Blue, but not a very good one seeing she and Green have been trying to take the two kids back for themselves. Wielding a katana and having fast speed, she is a force to be reckoned with.
Purple's would definitely have a medium-high voice, and would have a "fancy" kind of vibe to it. A REALLY good example to go off of is Jessie from Pokémon: this isn't the voice we want, but rather a starting point to go off of.

[Annoyed] QUIET, you BRAT! You two have NO idea how LONG it took to track you down . . .
[Enraged] How DARE you hurt your own FATHER!
[Confident] The power of PURPLE and GREEN is tough and mean!
A great wizard who ran the kitchen of Blackrock Castle, unfortunately met their early demise. With a second chance in the afterlife, they still continue on doing what they did before: cooking. However, this snarky wizard may be more than meets the eye.
The Kitchen Wizard definitely would have a tint of nerdiness similar to Shedletsky, but more leaning towards the snarky side of things. A perfect example of the voice direction is Wizard Cookie's voice from the Cookie Run series.

[Annoyed] Are you the assistant mage I ordered? I've been waiting . . . Goodness, I knew RentAnAssistant(TM) was slow but jeez
[Angry] Just great. Now this kitchen's a MESS! There goes tonight's meal, you moron!
[Compassionate] When we first met, I didn't think much of you. But now . . . I believe you're the most strong-willed person I've met.
Tutorial Terry, the token jerk character, and his little bro Jerry, who is the polar opposite! He loves to explore and see all the good things in the world, all while, being a little bit out of the loop. Even though Terry tends to be a bit harsh on him, he knows he loves him either way.
Jerry should definitely have a medium-high pitched voice. A nice idea to go off of is Luigi from the Mario series. This isn't a direction but more an IDEA, so please try to shape the voice how you want!

[Admiring] Big broooo! The hedgehogs are so cute!! I just wanna give 'em a big ol' squeeze!!
[Awe] This place is so cooooool! There's like, skeletons and everything!!! And um . . . uh . . .
[Reassuring] Terry . . . It's ok! No need to worry anymore!
Greed: a selfish and excessive desire for more of something than is needed. Everyone has it, and the player needs to confront their greed in order to move forward.
Greed's voice should definitely have a monstrous aspect to it, but it should also have that "Insane Shopkeeper" aspect to it. This voice can be shaped in a lot of ways, so have fun with it.

[Mocking] You really fell for it! Just throw some cash on the ground and the little ones will just come crawlin'! Oldest trick in the book!
[Insane] You're all mine! IT'S ALL MINE! Mine! MINE! MINE! Hahahahahahaha!
[Taunting] Hmm . . . What shall I do with your brain? Maybe I'll use you for my own benefit!
Solitude: the state or situation of being alone. The player has been alone for a while during their adventure. They need to confront it if they want to continue on with their goal.
Solitude's voice should also be monstrous, but the vibe should be something like a siren. It's calm, but can get messy if messed with. Once again, this voice can be shaped many ways, so do what you think would fit best!

[Awe] In all my life, staring into the abyss . . . Never have I seen anything quite like this . . . You, are definitely special.
[Serious] I will not let you end me . . . So let this be . . . A fair match . . . As I watch you
[Confusion] I can't tell what you are
Fear: an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. The player is bound to have a lot of fear, so they will need to conquer it if they want to move on with their adventure.
Unlike Greed and Solitude, Fear shouldn't have a monstrous voice, but quiet and paranoid voice. A REALLY good example is the Imaginary Friend from Pressure: we don't want the exact voice, but rather a voice that has the same energy.

[Pleading] I know I'm not strong enough to face IT alone. Please let me live. I'm begging. Please just follow the path.
[Terror] D-don't you see? Have you not n-noticed it by now? *ITS* j-just . . . using you. You . . . Y-YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME! PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES! YOU ARE BEING M-MANIPULATED!
[Sorrow] You've already m-made up your mind. Please remember that . .. A-all I did . . . was try to save you.
“HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.” - Harlan Ellison, I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream
The interpretation of the voice can be monstrous or human. Hatred should have a loud and threatening voice, but it also doesn't need to be yelling all the time. A PERFECT example of this idea is AM's monologue performed by Odd Future Studios. While this is the main voice direction, you can still interpret it how you please.
