Realm Jumper
Josh The VA for Ryder Doyle
The character uses he/him pronouns, but any gender may audition
Ryder is a noir detective, and he wanted his life to stay that way. However, he was the protagonist of his realm, and so he got dragged into any big events that happened there. His voice should be lower and slightly gruff. He will monologue like in noir detective movies, so his voice should sound correct when doing that.
Ryder is someone who does not like change. He enjoyed being a detective, and everything that came with it. However, he knows that he left his realm in a situation that wouldn't be great for him to return to, so he is content to stay at the Academy for now. But he misses the thrill of figuring out a mystery.
The last mystery he solved was the issue with the Corbin siblings. Ryder not only was glad to solve the mystery, but he also got some good friends out of it. He considers Oliver his best friend, and he tries to get along with Jennifer, but she seems less inclined to make the same effort. Her dislike of him is the current mystery Ryder would like to solve.
[You are sitting alone in a room. A group of people are coming to say hello]
(Detective noir monologue voice) I knew the moment that door swung open, he'd have something new for me. Good. Time had passed and I was starting to get restless. Like a starving dog I knew I'd pounce at any opportunity that came my way. I couldn't wait.
[You're talking to a group of friends. You're trying to be the de facto leader at this moment]
(Casually, but still speech-like) Okay, so. We need to fan out and search. BUT. Keep it on the down low. Don't raise suspicion. Does anyone have any questions? Okay, sounds great. Meet back here in two... three... uh, just be back here at sunset.
[Something terrible has happened, and you are feeling very depressed. Someone is trying to comfort you, but you don't want to hear it]
(Outraged, then shaky sadness) It shouldn't have happened at all! I should have been better, or faster, or done something to help! I promised! (Beat) I promised... and I couldn't get there in time. It's my fault.
