Royal Duality
Crit_Magnet for Softhearted but tough Werewolf
We will also consider strong Welsh accents, Irish accents and Yorkshire/Lancashire/ other working class accents for this role. However, in some story outcomes, this accent will be lost...so accentless will also be required.
Warren is a well-meaning, easy to read werewolf who is infamous for being unlucky. He has an intimidating aura and face, but he is in fact a soft-hearted man who is very misunderstood by everyone in his hometown (even the Princess is scared of him), due to a mysterious curse which affects only him (he has a werewolf form that has no 'human consciousness', unlike all other werewolves in-game).
Warren was the first to volunteer to join the party to save Oliver (the wizard) , who has been kidnapped by an evil vampire. He is 23 years old and has no social-standing in his homeland, regarded as a ‘social outcast’, many consider him stupid and adding ‘no value’ to the world. He tries not to let this bother him, but it seems that this has resulted in him wanting to be out of the spotlight and not wanting to have any attention drawn to himself…However, sometimes his expressive nature gets the better of him and he will blurt out what he’s thinking and feeling. He is a 'strong man' archetype and is known for being able to use extraordinary strength as if it's no bother. Warren (despite this), doesn’t actually like violence at all and enjoys being around nature. The mission for him is actually ‘a lot of fun’, he can demonstrate what he’s good at, add value to the team, and work directly with Sam (the sprite Knight).
Warren really does care for Sam, and he is romantically invested in her (but he doesn’t seem to realise that yet). He sees her as his ‘only friend except Oliver and Lewis’, he provides Sam with relief around the burden of losing her home…but sometimes his easy-going attitude actually causes more problems than it cures (Sam will be annoyed when he approaches matters in a relaxed fashion, as she is very disciplined when it comes to work)...he tries to avoid anger so that the 'monster' within him doesn't take a hold.
Warren doesn't have a good understanding of the rules of formal social etiquette, but he isn't rude on purpose, often making social gafts without realising. Warren and Lewis (the Fae diplomat) have grown up together and Warren is very protective of Lew.
A lot of people see Sam and Lewis as ‘boring’, but he doesn’t see this at all, he thinks they are wonderful and hard-working and he immensely admires them…he is hilariously the "odd one out", he has no prospects or a good reputation, yet this doesn't stop Lewis or Sam from spending time with him.
Warren, similar to Sam, is a Defender personality type, but he is nowhere near as assertive as she is and will vary from moments of great bravery, to moments of hilarious embarrassment. He gets very shy when Sam speaks to him affectionately and will do almost anything to excuse himself. He is loyal to everyone in the Royal party and will defend them with his life. https://www.16personalities.com/isfj-personality
Warren however, has a primal-wolf form he cannot control, so there will in instances where he is fighting against the monster inside that he doesn't want to be. In the best outcomes, he and Sam will be in a loving relationship where they are warm and supportive of one another. In the worst outcome, he will also become a vampire, wherein he will lose his regional accent and become fairly well spoken and very OOC.
We are looking for a mid-range tone somewhere within the tenor and bass range.
W: Well if it isn't Miss 'Head of the Royal guard', you checking up on your most 'unruly' party member? I promise I've been good, I haven't hit the other boys and girls, and I've kept my hands and feet to myself. (Warren would be smiling as he says this, he is joking around and being light-hearted. The ‘boys and girls’ are all adults, so he is being a little cheeky, hoping it will raise a laugh in her).
W: 'Course it would make a difference! I like messing around but- I don't want you to be payin' for it. I'll… I'll...try harder…so nothing bad happens to you...you've always stuck your neck out for me so...I need to show you how much that means- (Warren cuts in urgently, he has now realised that Sam doesn’t want to directly blame him and she is shielding him from the consequences of his behaviour …he isn’t particularly bright, but his heart is clearly in the right place, he sounds genuine and committed to being better for her sake, there would be a sense of urgency and sincerity).
W: Do-don’t read anything into it! I’m not doing it because I’m fond of you…! It's...it's a wolf thing....yeah... (now extremely embarrassed by the tender moment, Warren tries to dismiss it, but because he is actually very unable to handle a romantic situation, his embarrassment is very obvious, he isn’t putting on a ‘manly’ façade, he is desperately trying to sound ‘not bothered’, but he is obviously very bothered, he would be blushing-’, he’d add the ‘it’s a wolf thing’ to try and reassure her and himself…but he isn’t certain about how effective it’s been, so the ‘yeah’ would be a little weak).
