Royal Duality
Avie1987 for Supportive Fae diplomat/ later Prince
Lewis is a well-spoken (Southern English), handsome and well-kept man trying to fit into his role as a diplomat in challenging circumstances. He is only 22 years old and the responsibility of this quest weighs heavy on his shoulders.
Despite his home town being destroyed, he tries incredibly hard to remain upbeat for the sake of the people he cares about. Lewis tries hard to be a supportive friend and leader, but sometimes he does this to the detriment of his own well being and can become emotionally flustered or strained... abhorred by violence, he is more likely to become introverted and melancholy as opposed to violent or angry. He is the ‘Consul’ personality type, he is tries to keep all the things in his life in balance and doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. https://www.16personalities.com/esfj-personality
Lewis is a kind soul by default, a thoughtful speaker, he dislikes putting others down. Despite his intelligence and education (which has been hard earnt), he does not demean others, he has clear annunciation, we're looking for a mid-range voice, who can speak from the heart and be empathic.
Later in the story, he is revealed to be the 'lost Prince' of a neighbouring Fairy realm to Lilly's (the fae princess)...meaning the pair would be married...he finds this difficult to deal with, because he thinks he would not be a good fit for the role.
This story will see Lewis go through a wide variety of emotions there will be revelations around his past and depending on player choices he may become a noble and goodly king or an unhinged tyrant... this could entail some very emotional performances with themes of family death, fires and traumatic memory suppression.
In darker endings, he could be in an abusive relationship (wherein he is abusive to others).
Lewis is good friends with Warren (the werewolf, in fact they grew up together) and Sam (the sprite Knight). He is open minded and likes to give people a chance, despite their background. This means he gets along with Sirius (half human demon) very well.
Lewis: No, you’re just tipsy, come on…easy and…phew…there we are…away from the party…and prying eyes. (Lewis has been supporting a close fun-loving friend (Sirius) as he’s quite drunk and unable to walk unsupported, during the 'come on…easy and…phew…there we are’) he is putting Sirius on the grass lawn so he doesn’t have to carry him anymore, he seems relieved of the burden and makes noises of effort)
Lewis: Oh, yes of course…it’s just…I don’t know Sirius, this isn’t what I imagined…I thought that after saving Oliver things would improve…that I’d feel more comfortable, prepared for Royal life, but…I’m longing for something else…I wish I knew what… ( Lewis isn’t as happy as he was pretending to be earlier, this is Lewis speaking from the heart, there is a genuine sense of anguish, he can’t articulate his feelings for Sirius, so he is hoping that Sirius will be able to identify what the feelings are).
Lewis: Yes, those were the days …but no time for drinking at the local inn anymore…I’m a fully-fledged diplomat now…a respectable adult…and all that nonsense… (Lewis sounds happy and nostalgic when he says ‘those were the days’, but then pensive and troubled for the rest)
I liked this. Well done.
Oh! Thank you!
Hi Avie1987, Thank you so much for taking the time to audition for the role of Lewis. We enjoyed your audition and felt it was particularly strong for Lewis. Unfortunately, we found a different actor with a tone of voice we preferred, but from a feedback perspective, the quality, performance and acting were all superb, it was a very difficult decision for us to make.
