Link Kyner for That Mandatory Anime Role
[Character Rundown]
This character is old, 144 to be precise.
But due to unknown means, they're life has been extended well past the normal human lifespan.
The character remains young, having never aged a day from some point in their 20s.
But they're wise. They've seen a lot in all their time. Made a lot of mistakes, but also helped a lot of people.
They're kind & caring. But they never really want to show that side of themself.
Having lived a long life: they accumulated a vast amount of resources and money.
At one stage they poured everything they had; money & time - all into a project to try to save as many people as possible.
But they were naive. They shouldn't have gone at it alone. It was dangerous trying to bring the change that they did. Violent.
Now, they're trying a different way of living. In the moment.
[Direction] You're getting heated at someone who won't accept anything you say. They just don't seem to get it. Not only that, but you're in a dire situation as it is. As the dialogue goes on, the actor should increase the desperation in their voice.
[Line]
"Look, *scoffs* dude... I don't have time for this."
(Mutters to self)
"If it were anyone else I swear..."
(Starts explaining)
"Listen. We need to get moving! When I got here the bomb in the building had less than 12 minutes on the counter."
(Start getting more desperate)
"The walk here was 300 paces... which under normal walking speed would've taken at least a couple minutes... Then I hopped on my bike, went round the corner - ran into you."(Outburst)
"Fuck, you make me so angry I end up rambling and wasting MORE TIME!"
*Big Sigh, in a huff of anger*
(Bring it down, reassuring but stern)
"Look... You just... You need to come with me... now.)[Direction] You've just had an encounter with someone who used to be just like you. They're cold and calculating. But they're bottling everything up. Now you're thinking to yourself for a hot second before responding to them.
[Line]
"It'll get her far in life."
(beat)
"That cool-headed attitude of hers... But I hope somebody does something to turn this around before she spends half a decade running round... Just like I did. I'm sure... No... Certain... That deep down. Deep down she just wants to be free to be herself. Without all this."
(beat)
"Damnit. I should do something."
(Speaking out loud now.)(Shouts to call her back over)
"Hey!"
(She walks into normal conversational distance)
"Look. I didn't want to get involved... But I can clearly see this isn't something you really want."
(Her reaction confirms it)
"Let me help you, at least."
