DaemoniK [Season Two]
Nick Cruz 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..."
Heya, Nick! :D Many thanks for your audition! You picked a really hard character to audition for, but I think you did a pretty solid job on it! You got the right emotions there, and I really like your voice overall. It's got this kind of tone that's perfect for things like anime or cartoons, so I'm all like 'Yooooo. oAo An anime boy auditioned for my project!' Always makes me excited to hear~ Metatron though is kind of a hard one to voice, so bear with me if I seems like I have alot to say about it! I thought this was a great audition, but there's something a bit too aggressive in his portrayal during your audition. Yeah, he gets annoyed and he gets angry, but it's not a 'RAH! YOU DUMMY' kind of angry. It's more of that kind of scowl matched with the 'I'm disappointed' kind of anger, which makes it all the worse when he throws lines that kind of undermine you. But that subtly is why it's all the more important when he says lines like the third one. The sympathy shows through while also keeping this kind of stoicism with him. Like, he's not a particularly bad guy. He's just doing bad things because he wants to be human again. Poor scorpion boy. :c I think you could pull off this role really well, but it's important to really hit the moments where he's cold and spits that venom, and the moments where he's calm and genuinely compassionate. Tricky, but hence why I think he's so challenging to voice. Besides that though, I enjoyed listening to your audition! Fantastic work, and many thanks!
Thank you for the feedback! I will make sure to keep that in mind. Im sure with a little live direction it will be improved.
