Role assigned to: GingerWizardtng

Summary: Douglas Slade is certainly a mysterious man. Although he appears to be in his early twenties, he is far older than that - almost ten times older in fact. One of the oldest living supers to this day who has been blessed with the gift of a near immortality that he sees as a curse, unable to properly spend with those he loves. He has been through a *lot* of exploitation, but even his 'treatment' with Voss pushes him. Slade is a doctor at a clinic in New York and the veteran of the cities' superheroes. He meets Ash through their 'inpatient stay' and quickly become close friends. In the True Ending of the story, he adopts Ash as his own son and invites him to live with him and his partner Aiden in New York, where he can learn to properly develop his powers and work on the path to becoming a hero. He is also especially close with Aiden, tending to be a liiittle too flirty and over the top at times. He is very intelligent, kind, selfless, wise beyond his years and also very realistic and hardened to suffering it seems, but the one thing he will not stand is to see children harmed in any way. 

Appearance: Arc I (Major role), Arc II  (Leading role throughout)

Personality: Wise, Brave, Caring, Mature, Composed, Cool, Considerate, Generous, Selfless, Protective, Flirty, Fun, Germaphobic, Traditional, Hard and Leader-like 

Voice: Mature, wise and mid-pitch He should be able to sound quite cranky when Slade gets annoyed, as well as soft and fatherly when around Ash and flirtatious and playful when around Aiden. He will curse and raise his voice when angered, so this should be conveyed. A Scottish accent is necessary to stand a good shot at taking this role, so please do your best!

  • (Flirtatiously answering the phone) Hello Love~ Yes, I know. ...Eh, some doctor at the reception? What does he want? Can't it wait? Just tell him I'm booked up with consultations for the next week, arite? If I squeeze another one in it means we get less time together tonight~

    (Irritable and struggling, raised voice near the end) Oi! Stop calling me 'Boy', Laddie! I'll have you know I'm actually *ten times* yer age! What happened to 'respect yer elders' and all that, eh? Ye radge minger get OFF!

  • (Soothing and consoling) Shhh, there there, Lad. There's no need for tears. We're gonna be just fine, arite? I promise I won't let that monster hurt you again. Come on, keep your chin up, Lightbug. We can't lose hope yet. Look, the elevators are just down there.

    (Sarcastically, barely paying attention) Oh the Greater Good. Of course. It's always for the Greater Good. Yadada. Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt almost two hundred years earlier. And what's for dinner? I'm absolutely starving. I don't suppose ye have got any haggis?

  • (Hysterical and fearful, struggling) No! N-No! Anya stop! STOP! Lightbug! No! I promised! I PROMISED! LET GO OF ME! NNGH! I *PROMISED*!

    *BONUS LINE: (Muffled, spoken best with something over the mouth) Fmmm mmm! NMMM MMM VMMM!

Hi there! Thank you so much for your audition! It means so much to us :D Your audition was very enjoyable! That was one swell Scottish accent and those last lines were great, I especially loved your 'Greater good' line, it was spot on~ Good tone and a great clean audition with little quality or mic issues, great job! For feedback (just a few nitpicks!) I think there were times when your pacing was a little too fast and some lines felt like they were being rushed. Just take your time, remember to include the pauses and let that emotion shine through! Some of the lines could have done with a bit more intensity and expressiveness (for example, the 1st should sound more flirty and playful, whilst the 2nd he should sound pretty furious, offended and exerted, since he's struggling against being taken against his will at that moment). Just those little things would have made it even better but it was a great performance! Feel free to submit a second audition with these improvements if you wish, or if you'd rather not then that's fine too. Thank you so much once again and take care! :D
