[Indie RPG] Our Dying World: Act 2
Nasim Benelkour for Azel
Unfortunately not a lot is known about Azel. He's a character that seems extremely composed on the outside, but you can almost see some cracks in that facade slipping, every once and a while...
He's a man of science at heart, and whatever that may be, or whoever his family is, they tend to get pushed to the wayside in his quest of discovery. Azel only shows to be more and more unhinged the more people come to find out what kind of company he keeps...
Azel is a minor antagonist, and without spoiling anything too important, is a demonologist. His inflections should be all that of a man carefully considering his options. He's constantly weighing pros and cons in his head to try and end up on top. Completely selfish, he only sees the people around himself as tools with which to further his own discoveries.
An older sounding voice, Azel is a father (a terrible one, at that), and a learned man. His voice should be confidence fueled by nearly manic passion. For all intents and purposes, a sociopath.

(This is a very carefully placed mask, his holding back his excitement at seeing someone for the first time) Ahhhhh you're back, and with my son, I assume? (He chuckles, it's closely-feigned kindness) Oh no, don't be sorry at all! I'm sorry you had to get here through such a terrible storm.
(His mask slips, and all his selfish manic tendencies and pride are out in the open. Azel is questioned what he wants from his captives) From her? (he nearly whispers) That's a secret. (He chuckles darkly) But from you, I told you already, didn't I? You're the *cure* I've been looking for! All I have to do... is figure out how you're immune. Then I'll finally have all the power I could ever dream of...
(getting louder with each part) You're the answer to my darkest desires. My greatest pride! My *magnum opus*! (Hitting the peak of his rising voice/momentum) And that's why I'm *never* letting you go! (he's interrupted and it snaps him, but holding the same energy from the swelling/rising lines) WHAT, Scarlett?!
