Fallout The Frontier Rework Casting Round 2
OldManMammoth for Higgins (Ghoul Rasp, Irish Accent, Some Gaelic Words)
Éamon Higgins’ life for the first ten years was the everyday life of any American boy at that time: Full of wonder, fun, trying to grasp the vast technological advancements around him… all the while every adult around him became increasingly more nervous for no discernible reason.
As the bombs fell in 2077, Éamon survived, as did his parents. What may sound like a soon-to-be drama and sob story, took a surprisingly positive turn. Not only did his parents live up to the ripe old age of 90, but he also got ghoulified when he hit advanced age, around 60-70 years old at the time.
This meant that, albeit with less skin and a bit of a stench, he enjoyed another 130 years of his life building multiple families, adopting dozens upon dozens of children (27 in total) and having 3 different wives over that entire time.
Living his life in the wasteland to an unusually good degree, his body hit its limit around his 200th year on this earth, when he began to display symptoms of becoming a mindless feral ghoul.
Content with his life, he first just wandered about and, after some time, sat down on a bench… and just waited to die in peace, in nature. Yet as the player character finds them, he may realize that he does want a bit more of an explosive ending to his life.
And so, with revolver in hand and a smile on his face, he stands side by side with the player on his journey… until the clocks ticks to its end, and he can finish off his life, fulfilled and ready to see his family again.
Higgins is a nice and helpful character who likes to ramble a bit, showing a smile whenever possible. He is not quite a soft man however, as he has hurt and killed before, albeit never for evil reasons, and he is quite a survival and people expert and very proficient with his revolver. He has a discernible Irish accent, coming from his father, and even learnt quite a bit of Gaelic, which came from his mother, and has also developed a weakness for simple and stupid jokes. Through his long life experience, he has also gathered quite a bit of wisdom and courage.

Either you put on a rad suit, or you gulp down those Rad-X pills. I don't need someone to rival my beauty anytime soon.{soft chuckle}
I can feel it. It feels as if that arracht is trying to dig its fingers into the edges of my mouth, trying to pry it open. | And that growling... the stuttering, the shacking... I can still keep it at bay, but it may slip at any moment. | Let's enjoy our last few days together, eh? Nothing we can do but that.
It's a brawl! Fág an bealach!
The third audition line currently lacks the feeling of combat. It could be louder, faster, and more aggressive. Otherwise, solid audition.
Thank you for the feedback. Would you like me to record different variations of the third line for you using your feedback?
