🎮 Character: Playtonic

Voice Type: Young boy – soft, emotional, a bit shaky. His voice still has a childlike tone, even though he tries to act mature. Think of a sensitive young indie developer in the body of a fragile little boy.

Age (vocal): Sounds like a 10- to 12-year-old boy, but carries the emotional weight of someone much older.

Personality:
Playtonic is gentle, kind-hearted, and deeply emotional. He’s a dreamer who wanted to create magical games and protect his team like a family. But now, after making painful business decisions (layoffs), he's filled with guilt and shame. He's not cold or corporate – he genuinely cares about the people he let go, and he's crushed by the idea of disappointing others.

He speaks softly, hesitantly, and often sounds on the verge of tears – especially when talking to Rare, his older “brother” figure. He has trouble expressing himself clearly under pressure, but his words are always sincere.

Tone Suggestions:

• Trembling voice when nervous or crying

• Hesitations, stutters, coughs (from stress or emotion)

• Occasionally childlike when he says things like “I just wanted to be like you…”

• Needs to feel vulnerable, but lovable – someone the audience wants to hug
