Keeper of Pepo - CASTING CALL WEEK FOUR (Ben, Tyrant, Xethereal, and Extras)
Rekhova for Oscar Lantern
Oscar is the biological son of Milo and Finley Lantern. He lost his leg at the age of seven along with the ability to properly use the powers inherited from his father. However, this handicap and his father's approaching of retirement seems to have driven Oscar even further down his path to becoming a respected hero and the eventual Keeper of Pepo.
Oscar approaches everything with a sense of childlike rebellion, answering most authority figures (aside from his family) with sarcasm or a generally casual demeanor. He also inherits a carefree, wild-child side from his father.
When auditioning, please keep the following in mind:
-Character is 17 years old.
-Voice canon is similar to Mark from Invincible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViL8rIbSWQg
[reminiscing traumatic events] Back when I was little, I lost my leg to a night jackal. Its venom filled whatever part of my stump was still attached and crippled my contention to my flame. So... no. i can't really do the cool things my dad can do. [small pause, voice returning with slight hints of hope] But hey, maybe some day, right?
[tensions are rising between two of his friends, OSCAR intervenes to break the fight up.] Whoa, wait! Wait! Let's tear each other apart tomorrow. We've got a performance to do tonight.
[Ad-lib something here as the character!]
Hey! Thanks for the audition! I actually really liked this audition. I didn't expect to get such a great one right out of the gate! That ad-lib line is the attitude I was hoping for, to be honest. And to answer your question from before, I think it was a typo, and "contention" should have been "connection." No idea why it ended up that way, my apologies LOL
In addition to my previous comment, I'm going to send you a discord request. You should see one from "Dottie gets more cuddly#0001." Please accept soon and let me know when you get it!
