The Call of the Flame, Book 2 (Chapter 1)
TrentMichaelt for Balorus
This will be a reoccurring part.
Not quite a soldier, not quite a mercenary. A nobody from nowhere who survived long enough, told enough lies, and killed the right people to make it high in the world. He is something of an audience avatar for scenes with the spooky Ultovin and enigmatic Neradial, at least, at first. As he develops on his own, he'll be less and less relatable, and reveal more of his casual evil through his actions. His cold blooded opportunism.
Voice: Elvan accent, possibly worn out from years of spending time with non-Elvan folk. Greco-Roman inspired background, should reflect in his accent. His demeanor is cool, collected, with dry wit even in the face of battle and the supernatural.
[Mike Ehrmantraut] One night, my fellow guardsman fell ill, and it’s just me. Orders are given, it’s the usual. Broke her nose at dinner kind of thing. So I take him, lock him in the cart and away we go. Only that night, we’re riding into town, and this asshole starts singing. I wasn't having it that night. So instead of left, I go right, out into the woods. I kneel him down, put my sword to his throat, and I told him, "This is it. This is how it ends."
He cries, wets his britches, swearing to the Gods he's going to leave her alone. Screaming. I told him to shut it. Needed to think about what I was going to do. And of course he got quiet, like a Dog waiting for dinner scraps. And we just stood there for a while, me acting like I’m thinking things over, and Prince Charming kneeling in the dirt with shit in his birches. After a few moments I lifted my blade, and I say, "So help me if you touch her again I will such-and-such and such-and-such and blah blah blah blah blah". I took a half measure, when I should have gone the whole way.
This is a really excellent performance! I really love how Jovial your portrayal is, and I think you really bring a really fun energy to the character.
