Belphegor's Traveling Circus - Pilot Episode Full Animatic (LOOKING FOR MORE VOICES)
AJ Cruz for Cheshire Grimmely - Deuteragonist and Runaway Prince
Cheshire is a lion-like prince of Hell, specifically the Fourth Circle, and the son of Buer. He is hyper intelligent, imposing, and very composed with a semi-permanent smile on his face. He is very large in stature (standing at 8'7" tall not counting his huge horns) and casts fear into other demons with his red eyed glare, all except for Belphegor, his dear friend and confidant. He always speaks using fancier words and phrases, and he prefers logic and careful planning over chaotic impulsiveness due to his calculating nature. He is very restrained, has incredibly high composure, and often stands tall and confidently. He hides all of his emotions behind a smile and a monotonous voice, and prefers to express himself with a look in his eye.
Voice Quality:
- Slow and smooth talking
- Prone to hanging on some syllables in his words, and speaking in run on sentences with pauses.
- Low tone and deep
- Somewhat monotonous, but can break under pressure and lose his composure to become more emotional, especially when angered.
Voice inspiration:
- Paul Frees, specifically how he narrated the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland

[You're responding thoughtfully to a question about an old friend you somewhat have feelings for, but you go off on a bit of a tangent]
Ah yes, that Belphegor, troublesome little demon. Although, I cannot help but think I would rather be a Soul Collector than Royalty. Curious, is it not? After every event I have gone through, living in a miserable royal family for thousands of years under the rule of a devil I dare not call my father, you would understand. Apologies, we were talking about Belphegor, were we? I know what you're thinking, why would a prince such as I be friends with a middle class demon such as him, for over a decade no less? That is a rather interesting story now is it? (chuckle) All you need to know now, is that he is my ticket to getting out of Hell, and away from the Kingdom. Though also, of course, every Soul Collector needs a partner, and who else shall it be other than me?
