Elite: Dangerous Machinima Pilot Episode
Carloguy for CMDR Bolts
CMDR Bolts is a 21 year old Engineer/Technician. He's extremely smart, technical, and prefers to think through problems until he hits upon a working solution. He does not try to hide his stress in a tight situation, and despite sounding panicked when under the gun, he thinks best when under pressure. He's also not terrible in combat, having managed to secure the Elite: Dangerous rating for combat.
Update March 29th, 2017: This character is more lighthearted than his counterparts but also slightly panicky when under pressure. The first audition line shouldn't be read too seriously. The cadence should be more along the lines of someone explaining a technical trick to a bunch of non-technical friends. He thinks he's downplaying the difficulty of the technical problem he just solved, but it just serves to make him sound incredibly intelligent.
(happily rambling) It's really not that complicated, but the hardware and software to open these babies isn't really official and open to the public, you know what I mean?
(stunned) The telepresence system failed? Failed? Just like that? That's... that's almost impossible. With no damage to the ship?
(really happy to hear her) Shaxley?! Shaxley! Where have you been?
