~Rise From The Ashes - Arc I ~ : Staff and Lead VAs (CLOSED)
Ragnarocket for Aiden
Summary: Aiden is a sensitive and generous young man, in his early twenties and living with his partner, Dr Douglas Slade above the Sunny Samuels Medical Clinic. He works as a receptionist there and a barista at a coffee place called 'The Joint', but later returns to university to study psychiatry and become a doctor himself. Although young, he is rather mature and focused, so isn't always the most appreciative of Slade's excessive PDA and 'distractions' from work. He is also rather religious and is loved by many. Later he goes on to become Ash's adoptive father with Slade when he comes to live with them in New York. Aiden cares greatly for his family and will happily spoil them when Slade's back is turned. Interestingly, Aiden has been possessed from childhood by an angelic and demonic spirit, who lie dormant within him. When he needs to launch into heroic action, the angel grants Aiden his powers, to become the popular hero known as Cross. As for the demonic spirit, he thankfully lies dormant -for now...
Appearance: Arc I (supporting) and Arc II (Leading role throughout) - The lines include a mixture from both Arcs, since we would ideally like to keep the same VA for consistency.
Personality: Kind, Considerate, Sensitive, Caring, Intelligent, Soft, Religious, Faithful, Responsible, Brave, Protective and just a little snarky at times, especially towards Slade.
Voice: Friendly and slightly soft, being mid-pitch. Aiden never curses or uses the Lord's name in vain (and he will be sure to scold you if he catches you doing so!) and he doesn't get angered too much, so only occasionally yells. He is relatively calm and speaks with a light country accent due to his origins in Kansas (the accent is optional, but if you can do one we'd love to hear it!)
(Cheerfully in a friendly manner) Good morning and welcome to Sunny Samuels Medical Clinic. How may we help you today? Do you have an appointment with--(cut off by his phone ringing) a-ah, sorry, please excuse me. (Picking up with a sigh) What do you want, Slade? How many times have I told you not to call or send those flirty messages when I'm working?
(Frustrated and uncomfortable, on the phone to Slade) Of course I’m not okay, you idiot! I’m tied up on the floor and these guys are annoying as heck! Nnngh! (Suddenly sounding rather panicked) No, it won't be okay! Stay away, Slade! They're after you and they'll do h-horrible things to you!
(Shocked, making way for anger, hissing a little) Oh my...y-you spent three hundred dollars over your agreed phone bill...because you were looking up *pornography*?! (Scowling) I don't care whose fault it was, I will not have this...*blasphemous* material in my house! I'm confiscating your phone indefinitely and *you* young man are going to join us at *church*!
(Snappy) Oh please they know very well what's going on! You're not exactly known for your acting skills! Just because you're old doesn't mean you have to treat everyone like a child! Especially not me!
(Proudly and warmly) Aw, you're coming on so well with your classes - and those exam scores are definitely something to be proud about! Hey, why don't we go and celebrate later. Whose up for a pizza takeout~? I'm sure we can squeeze some dessert in too. Even Slade can't complain about the sugar content for once.
(Somewhat stunned, but making way for elation) I-I said...Yes! You're right, a lot has happened, and I know what I said years ago, but the more time I spent with you, the more I regretted what I said. I probably just needed more time...but now I know the answer!
Hi there, Max here. I'm the one who created Aiden, and I just wanted to say you did an awesome job bringing his voice to life. When I made him up (kind of on the fly in another project with another friend) I never imagined he'd ever get a voice so incredibly close to what I imagined it would sound like. The decision won't be final until the deadline, but so far you're my favourite. Thanks so much for your audition and for returning after Abbie's feedback with an even better one. The way you portrayed the emotions in the lines was very well done, and I loved how you tried the same line with different tones. Keep up the amazing work and I hope we'll be working together on this project in the future.
Oh wow thank you! I'm so glad that my voice is close to what you were thinking! Thank you for the feedback! Yeah a few of those lines I felt could go a couple of ways depending on the scenario so I wanted to make sure I tried a few things!
