Raising the Bar: Redux (STILL OPEN, LOOKING FOR AUDITIONS!)
Die Mechaniker for Captain Jaxon Vance
Captain Jaxon Vance is a military commander with many years of experience, leading the remnants of Earth's military in collaboration with the alien overlords, the Combine. He's a double agent planning to lead an insurrection against the Combine, but he's been biding his time for the right moment to strike. Gritty and no-nonsense, he's quietly haunted by some of the things he's had to do to preserve his cover. He's weary of humanity's suffering but still has a few good fights left in him - the player meeting him is the moment where he finally decides to lead the insurrection, knowing he might well have to make the ultimate sacrifice for the cause. His voice is weathered, with an Irish-American tinge. Once you've left your audition, please also attach your Discord tag!
[Relieved and incredulous, greeting his long-lost daughter] (Normal volume) Alyx? Is that you?!
[Scolding, but not childishly - more out of concern] (Low tone) Making your home at Maxwell's compound was dangerous, Alyx. His security is non-existent. It's a damn miracle the Combine didn't crack it open sooner!
[Serious, delivered with gravitas] (Briefing a room of military men) The Air Exchange is well-fortified, tightly-run, and has multiple layers of security. There's no chance we'll take the place before the alarm is raised back at City 17 and elsewhere. Once we knock on the front door...there's no turning back. It's victory, or death.
