*MAJOR CHARACTER*

Commander Kai Pliskin is in charge of the Xenotitan operation on the planet Tori. His job stretches from planning attacks, to overseeing the battles that the pilots will come across. His role may be considered similar to that of Gendo Ikari from NeonGenesis Evangelion.

However, unlike Gendo, in terms of personality, Kai is often incompetent and an excessive risk taker. Nearly every night after work, he'll spend a great deal of his time at a casino gambling, and often losing, though he keeps returning, claiming that this time he'll 'get it in the bag'. He doesn't. He never does. He lives in a terrible apartment because of his addiction. He's an idiot.

However, when the stakes are raised, and when the fate of the planet lies in the balance, Kai will break out of his incompetent shell to get his pilots out of some of the toughest situations 

In terms of his voice, when he is conversing casually with his comrades, Kai often sounds very confident, very charismatic. His voice sounds as smooth as butter and rather charming. (Although all that doesn't match his personality) Also, for his voice I would like you to convey a sort of youthfulness to it. As although he's nearing his 60s, he's still got a lot of energy. He's curious and has a lot of excitement. If someone can nail that into his character, you'd be guaranteed a spot as his voice.

Although when things begin to get hairy, and the battles commence, his voice does a 180. It sounds incredibly rough and dominant. It's as if it has it's own aura that fills the entire room. His voice still maintains it's charm, but loses it's youthfulness. Youth doesn't belong in a battle.
