Character Personality:

Pronounced "Ace", he is a 13-year-old AI child who prefers to spend his time in total isolation. He'll go out of his way to make himself unapproachable, too. Due to his past experiences, Aiecd has poor social skills. He is cynical, unsociable, manipulative, and he's very much aware of it. His personality is that of the phrase "too mature for his own age" while still being a child himself. He's an emotional kid, so he can express a wide array of emotions, though he does his best to suppress the "likeable" side of himself. He makes a conscious effort to level his voice out to purposefully sound distant and cold, while occasionally tossing in a healthy dose of flippant arrogance.

PLEASE read these directions, as they were written to provide reference for each line delivery. They are meant to paint a picture of the psychological mindset I would like you to see through to help shape your delivery. I also welcome improve! If you have lines of your own you would like to attempt, feel free to do so after you have read my 3 of choice. If you are interested in learning about or seeking more lines for Aiecd to practice on, you can search for them in his webcomic: Almanic Studios

-----------------------------------------

1- Embarrassed; ashamed and irritated by the need to be a part of this group, he directs this comment with a disgruntled and disappointed tone in his voice.

"You are so cookie-cutter right now I’m surprised you’re not a gingerbread."

2- He sounds empty, distant, or maybe even hopeful of the past. Recalling these memories seem therapeutic, in a way. "Someone very close to me. She was there from my very beginning..." He pauses briefly, "...She’s seen my worst and my best." Reality sets in and he becomes upset at the situation he finds himself in. Aiecd feels a flurry of burns lighting up his nerves in bundles, like hot adrenaline rushing right through his arms. Teeth clenched, Aiecd directs his ire to the force that harmed his loved one. Still, he knows his place and he dare not challenge said force. With a strained voice, he says "And she deserves none of this suffering."

3- Arguing with an important figure in his life, Aiecd is feeling an emotional rollercoaster. He is progressively getting more upset as he speaks, noting how unfairly he's been treated, and no one acknowledges it. He's stretched himself thin trying to play too many parts, and he's tired of it. Desperate, even.

"If I'm nice, I'm annoying! If I'm quiet, I'm a target! If I'm mean, I'm dangerous! How do you want me to act? I just don’t understand!"

-----------------------------------------

PLEASE provide 2-3 takes of each line, make sure no two takes are the same. I'm looking for an actor who is good with intonation and attitude. Aiecd makes himself act stiff, but he is an expressive character! *Also anyone of any gender is welcome to attempt for Aiecd, so may the best actor come forth!*
