Bastard Energy
Richard Gibson for Alexei
A Prince who is more like an untamed beast of a man than an actual regal prince. Alexei often shuns royal duties to fight. War is his prerogative, and the man is a conquerer above being a king.
He values bloodshed and war over his people, and his royal duties are left to people who have much more dubious values and morals.
The voice I want is a bit angry, but not completely. He is constantly holding back his temper, only breaking into something feral and excited when he is in battle. Other times, he is repressed, almost like he is constantly ready to explode.
(Being forced to do office work) “This again? Work like this brings great leaders to an early grave.”
(Slightly angry with a bit of bite to his word. He’s holding back his excitement to see if his opponent is worth it.) “Fight enough to give me a good show, but go against anything I say and I’ll make you wish you were dead. Those are simple rules to this game. Don’t disappoint me.”
(Finally able to get a good fight. He is going feral!! He’s having a great time) “Finally!! Something truly to live for! Now come on, give me something good! Get my blood rushing!!”
