DaemoniK [Season Two]
⭐JoeNova Voices⭐ for Metatron
METATRON -- AKA Matthew. Age Unknown, but appears to be in his 20's, Male. It was a shock to the world how angels and demons really are a thing, but did you know that angels and demons can be created in various different ways? However, it wasn't until Jeremiel's scheming that a new creation came to be in the form of Sandalphon and Metatron -- twin angels artificially made and fused with the essence of demons. Once human before, Sandalphon and Metatron serve Jeremiel, obeying his word and command as he had given them another chance at life. After all, Sandalphon and Metatron were once human... Perhaps with Jeremiel's promise, they can return back to the lives they used to live...
Vocal Range: Normal to Lower Pitched
Vocal Personality: Unlike his brother, Metatron possesses a more cold and venomous tone in the way he speaks. Sandalphon possesses a sense optimism, while Metatron views the world and their predicament as a burden. He's realistic and straight-forward in his thinking, and tends not to see the angels, demons, or humans in a good light. He often wonders what it would have been like if he and his brother remained dead, but alas... Death will not be a luxury they can have anytime soon.
Vocal Notes:
Sandalphon and Metatron are the only two angels who were once human in the lifetime before ascending. While the other angels more rather already existed before a point in time, they're considered angels with the powers and abilities they garner. However, as most angels are designed after insects, Sandalphon and Metatron -- interestingly enough -- are designed after arachnids, which aren't actually insects.
Despite all the power that Metatron has, he would much rather forsake the angels and demons and simply escape with his brother to a world where neither can harm them. However, he does what he can to fulfill Jeremiel's tasks, for it's the only way to ensure that their well-being is safe as Metatron plans a way to escape this cruel fate of servitude.
[scolding] "What part of 'stay still' do you not understand? When I tell you to do something, I expect you to do it! You can't go wandering off and doing stupid things like this when it'll just come back to bite you later. And it already has! Now you're starting to have second thoughts on all of this?" [coldly] "When will you learn that you aren't human any more?"
"Look, the plan is simple, alright? All you need to do is take some of my venom, make her drink it, and there. We can be on our way back to the Gardens with her. The sooner we do that, the sooner we can keep Jeremiel off our backs." [pause] "I know... I'm not saying what we're doing is right, but it's still something we have to do. So please... Just do it."
[disdained] "He always was a fool... Wearing his heart on his sleeve, showing empathy for everyone around him... He never learned just how cruel the world was. But maybe that was for the better -- especially when life just isn't fair to those with good hearts... It never is and it never will be..."
Aaaaye! Welcome back, Mr. Klaus! :D I was hoping to see your face again! Well... Hear your voice, consider this is voice stuff! WHOOPS. But anywho! I think out of my Metatron auditions thus far, I think you captured the character's personality the best -- especially in the second and third lines. Kind of cold and straight-forward, but there's this kind of concern and sense of sympathy kind of hidden in his undertone. That's super important! Because despite him being kind of bitter about things, he's not a particularly bad or evil guy. He's just biting the bullet, because he just wants to leave the angels and try being human again. Poor scorpion boy. But your audio is clear, you captured the character well, so fantastic job! I think with Metatron though, he's... Well, I wouldn't call him emotionless, but he doesn't have as big of a range compared to his counterpart, Sandalphon. He's quiet in his delivery, with that kind of eternal scowl on his face. Despite him being angry, it's not quite the 'DUDE. NO.' kind of projection. It's more of the 'Just shut up and do it.' kind of vibe. Less inflections and focus on those higher tones (like less of 'When IIIII say' and more of 'When I say.'), and a little more focus on the lower. Kind of like how when he scolds you, it's more of a threat not to mess up. It's a pretty scary guy, but the quieter tone will allow him to shift between being cold versus being gentle with a bit more of a subtle yet heavy shift than 'RAH! Okay, I'm sorry. :c' dramatic one. Beyond that, very well done! Many thanks for auditioning, my friend!
Hey! Thanks for the kind words, Steph! xD I wasn't expecting feedback, so it means a lot to me. It goes to show how much there is to talk about with a complex character such as Metatron, whom I see as being alike to an... anti-hero? :sweat_smile: A colder and quieter character for sure but sympathetic as well, he has relate-able reasons for how he acts and what he does. Very interesting to talk about! :D I listened to the audioplays for DaemoniK Prologue and first episode by the way. It's well made and the story is really intriguing, the dialogue feels really neutral too! I'll go into it more later, but really enjoying it so far! :ok_hand:
Congrats! Well done! Greets
