Project: deltarune RECAST (CHAPTER ONE)
JG for Seam
One of the only shopkeepers in the Dark World, they resemble an old plush toy long forgotten. They're very reluctant to hope, being much to old for it, and has quite the past they'd rather not think about. Oh, and their name's pronounced like 'Shawn' with an m, hope you don't forget that.
For their voice, I have an extremely peculiar request purely based off of one interpretation of him which I adore and will stand by as the fanon interpretation. Their music brings a sense of mystic nostalgia, a time of old where talking stuffed animals in VHS tapes were common and beloved, and they'd probably sound similarly and just as nostalgia-invoking. They'd probably sound like an old puppet character sitting down to tell children a story, with a hearty laugh and an old speaker where their voice came out. Thinking of narrator voices from old children's films back in the 70's and 80's is a very good jumping off point. It's kind of effects-heavy due to the "degrading speaker" feel, so the speaker effect isn't required, but it is something that I would definitely love to see in action.
(NOTE: While Seam is canonically nonbinary or at least goes by they/them pronouns, I would prefer their voice to be done by an AMAB individual or someone with a lower, more "masculine" range, especially as AMAB nonbinary individuals are very rarely seen/heard in media !! If you're not an AMAB nonbinary person then you're free to audition regardless, though there is definitely at least a range preference, at least.)
[a hearty, welcoming tone] Hee hee... Welcome, travellers. Take your time... Ain't like it's better spent. The name's Seam. Pronounced "Shawm." And this is my little Seap. Ha ha ha ha...
[possibly some kind of storytelling voice like most people put on for small children] Long ago, the Darkners lived in harmony with the Lightners. They were like Gods to us. Our protectors. Our creators. Those who gave us purpose... Then, one day we were all locked in this prison... And the Lightners never returned. Embittered, the King took up arms, and aims to take revenge on the Lightners that left us behind. 'Course, even among his troops, some still distantly hope the Lightners will return...
[an amused tone, possibly skeptical as well] Ha ha ha... So you are the "heroes" who are going to seal our Fountain? Ha, good luck. It makes no difference to me. [he gains a sad tone to his words] Neither Light nor Dark hold a future for a Darkner in my condition.
