Ethereal Blaze Concept Audio Drama
Jack Soto - VA for Asher Gardenia
Asher is a naive optimist. He's a bit of a himbo prince type at the beginning of his character arc, or maybe golden retriever. A really great example for his voice type/speech patterns is Odysseus from Epic the musical, specifically his playful banter with Athena in the song Warrior of the Mind.
Asher has yet to face serious danger or consequence in his life, until his village is razed by an angry god. At the same time, he learns the life he lived up until that moment was a lie. He takes it in stride on the outside for the most part in his early character arc. He discovers his family was burned alive when he was an infant, and the guardian who raised him switched his place with another baby, allowing him to escape. He knew nothing of this until he was twenty years old, and was forced to come to terms with the truth very quickly in order to escape with his life.

[Sounding shocked, guilty and horrified as he learns how his life was spared] "Ilyn... a baby died because of me. He died in place of me... he burned because I... why? Because of my blood... I'm more important..?"
For the last line, please try some fighting yells and screams, and additionally, you can either do some improv for extra credit, or this line: [Trying to break awkward silence with conversation] "So.... your brother's an owl. How uh... how'd that happen-?
