(FLASHBACK CHARACTER)
Ciaran as a kid was an organized, clean young man. He is just starting to learn proper English before his parents and at the time; preparing to move to the US with his parents. He just started growing interest in the creative arts (specifically writing)
I want his kid variant to have a high pitched tone, yet soft and organized. (YOU MUST BE ABLE TO PRONOUNCE IRISH WORDS)
- male young adult
- high pitched
- medium high

(ANNOYED) "I'm writing, Cassy..! Leave me alone, go bother Daidí or Mamaí.."

Sloane is the mother of Cassandra and Ciaran, though sadly passed away to cancer. Sloane is a kind, caring woman who loved her children dearly, she sacrificed half of her own funds to move her kids somewhere safer than Ireland, only to pass away 3 months after the move was finalized/
I want Sloane to have a voice like Miyako Ishida from A Silent Voice. See sample below ⬇️
- warm
- medium high
- female adult
- Sweet
- motherly
- motherly
(SURPRISED) "Dye your hair?? Cassy you have gorgeous hair! Why would you wanna change it??"
(CONCERNED) "Honey, you've been locked In this gross room for days! It's only proper that you come out and spend dinner with your family.
(AMUSED/GROSSED OUT) "Oh my..! Is that...a dead opossum, Cassy..?"
(FLASHBACK CHARACTER // SPRITE IS WIP)
As a teenager; Zach was a jock football player who had no loyalty when it came to having a relationship, though when he met Jessica he finally chose to devote himself--though that decision would create his mental health downfall and change him for the future.

HISPANIC ROLE!!
For Zach's teenage variant; I want him to sound similar to Shoya Ishida from A Silent Voice. See sample below ⬇️
- english
- spanish
- male young adult
(UPSET) "Jess, please just relax..! I wasn't with anybody, I promise! I just..haven't been sleeping great, okay..?"
(WEAK/CRYING) "Why..? Didn't you get the fucking memo..? I wanted death.."
(COMFORTING) "Hazel, I'm fine..! Jess is just..She just likes spending time together..I'm sorry.."
(FLASHBACK CHARACTER // SPRITE IS WIP)
Chris is Zachary's deceased brother, who was sadly taken by suicide shortly after Zach's survival. Chris was a musician who created a rock band that Zach now runs. The brothers didn't always get along, but they were all they had at the end of the day
HISPANIC ROLE
I want Chris to have a voice similar to Jax from The Amazing Digital Circus. See sample below ⬇️
- male young adult
(ANNOYED) "You are so fucking selfish! Do you even hear yourself right now?!"
(WORRIED) "Look, Zach...Mamá doesn't think Jessica is a good fit for you..Frankly, she's a bit of a bitch.."
(TEARFUL/CRYING) "You're in the hospital, man..You barely fucking made it.."
(FLASHBACK CHARACTER)
Ciaran had a big punk phase as a teenager, much different from his clean, organized personality in his adult-years. He regularly got into fights, rebelled against rule systems, and stood as a bodyguard for his best friend Collin
- moody teen
- male young adult
(SCARILY CALM) "Hey..Fuck with Collin again..I fuck with you."
(NUMB) "I haven't really been...feeling the total best. Just school being draining and my stupid fucking parents arguing again.."
(YELL/SOB) "Dad..? DAD!! W-Where are you going?! Y-You can't just leave!!"
(FLASHBACK CHARACTER // SPRITE IS WIP)
Zachary and Christopher's mother. A woman from Hispanic Heritage with a pure heart. Picture a loving grandma giving you freshly baked cookies and you have Martha. She is alive and well, but remains in Mexico City while Zach has moved to OKC to start a new life with Hazel. She is a proud baker and owns her own bakery.
(MUST BE ABLE TO SPEAK FLUENT SPANISH)
- spanish
- motherly
- female adult
- warm
- neutral spanish
(SWEET/WORRIED) "Mijo..You haven't touched your food..Eat, please."
(CRYING) "Hijo mío?? Puedes oírme, dulce niño?!"
(CARING) "Hazel! Dulce chica! Come in, sit! I just finished dinner! I made your favorite..Empanadas!"
(FLASHBACK CHARACTER // SPRITE IS WIP)
Jessica is Zach's abusive ex-girlfriend that nearly caused his death. Jess is one of those preppy popular chicks you'd see in a high-school environment, and is surely a character to be hated. Jess kept Zach away from friends and other girls, even keeping watch of his phone history to make sure he stayed loyal, though she was not handling her insecurity in the best way; growing physically and verbally abusive towards Zach.
I really think Jessica would have a voice like Regina George from Mean Girls. See sample below ⬇️
- Basic Rich Girl
- bratty
- Highschool Popular Girl
- female young adult
(ANGRY) "You were blowing some other bitches back out, weren't you?! That's why you weren't answering your damn phone!!"
(SEDUCTIVE) "Awwh, Zach c'monn..Pretty please?~"
(ANNOYED) "Ugh, who the fuck are you to say how I handle my relationship? Fuck you, ginger.."
