Beyond The Veil
Possessed Pickle Jar for Kulpah
[Lead Character Role]
A creepy layered effect will be achieved by casting many people. Auditions for the creepy, bad guy is open to all :D
Kulpah is...not a person. Not really. Not at all.
They are guilt made flesh—an ancient, mist-born entity that thrives in silence, festers in regret, and wears the face of those you love just to tear you apart.
Kulpah doesn’t shout. They whisper, they echo, they linger, it possess. They wear their victims like puppets, shifting their voices, warping their eyes to something unholy, like molten lava.... piercing, inescapable. Wherever there is peace, Kulpah seeks to sows decay.
It's true voice is difficult to define—sometimes charming and alluring, sometimes cracked and monstrous. In some scenes, they sound human. In others, barely at all. The voice actor cast in this role will need to balance quiet manipulation and outright bone-chilling menace.

[unsettling]“You buried it, didn’t you? That one moment? That.... scream? The way their blood hit your shoes. But I remember. I never forget what you try to forget for me.”
[mocking, pretentious] “Shhh, it’s okay. It’s me. I’m right here. You’re safe—(voice twists)—with me inside you.”
