Blood Oath [Machinima Full-length Movie]
nathan t esser for Torgan Deadwind
Torgan Deadwind is a young, aspiring orc, who's deeply traumatized by the mysterious death of his father and mother. At the age of twelve, Torgan experienced his parents disappear from one day to the other, leaving him to think someone had disposed of them. Physically inferior to other orcs and also for being mocked and bullied in his teenage years, Torgan learned various fighting techniques that kept his wits and his intellgience sharper, than most other orcs. He has a deep respect for the horde's willingness to accept a wide variety of races to the faction, but has begun to despise its progression into a warmongering cult under Garrosh Hellscream's rule.
Personality: Smart, cunning and thoughtful. Even though he serves the horde, he's generally displeased with the lesser intelligent of his fellow horde members and wish for a more accepting, calm and well-mannered horde, where diversity comes first and war is avoided as much as necessary.
Voice: Rough, dark, but still showcasing that he's indeed a young orc. Would ideally also showcase that he's a weaker orc than most, perhaps by a sore voice or frequent lighter tones in his sentences. Any interpretation of this is allowed and encouraged.
The extend of your role: Torgan is a hugely important character to the movie and will appear in nearly all, if not all scenes. As you have a long list of lines, it is expected that there will be some do-overs and because of that, you'll keep in contact with me over time, as I begin editing the movie.
[Slight irritation] The horde... Is an idea. A notion, that anyone secluded and deprived of their birth right may band together and secure a place in the cosmos for themselves. Honor and pride upholds this notion, but it is cast aside too often by greed and arrogance. The horde I joined was one of understanding and mutual respect. What it has turned into is a powerhungry cult of mindless beasts. I go with you to war in this conflict... But know that I despise each and every one of you and that my commitment to you all is only held up by a thread of hope. The hope that the horde I once adored will cme storming back, stronger than ever. Long live the horde.... Fuck the warchief!
[Cocky - Speaking to an audience] Everything you've ever thought about the horde are lies. To every rumor holds only a small fragment of truth. Alliance find us brutal and predictable, even in combat. If that was true, your high elf brother in front of me would best me easily. On behalf of the horde, let me prove to you all... That that won't be the case.
[Slight sadness] It's just... Do you ever feel you're just another body count? An orc dies and out pops another. It's ironic how a blood oath makes bloodspill less tragic. It has become routine.
