WE DIE TO BE SEEN
NSK for Nael - Male Voice
Nael is an 18-year-old composed and calculating figure whose presence feels as quiet as it is unsettling. Formerly entangled with the system that now exploits him, Nael carries the weight of prior knowledge like a secret blade — watching, manipulating, and maneuvering his way through Trials with surgical precision. He speaks rarely but with intention, always one step ahead, hiding deep emotional fractures behind cold logic and a curated mask of control. Whether ally or enemy depends entirely on what the moment requires.
Tone: Controlled, deliberate, and edged with restrained superiority — never reactive, always measured. Think: a scalpel, not a hammer.
Style: Clean, analytical, and slightly formal. Nael avoids contractions and slang. Even his silence feels chosen.
Emotion Range: Surface: Flat calm, sharp wit, quiet disdain. | Beneath: Repressed shame, loneliness, flickers of something desperate and human. | Rarely shows overt anger or fear — those emotions are sublimated into manipulation or withdrawal
Age Range: Late teens to early 20s
Accent: Neutral American or slightly stylized
Think: a boy who’s died once and came back quiet—he doesn’t speak to be heard; he speaks to survive. Or characters like:
L from Death Note (if he were more polished and emotionally guarded)
Sebastian from Black Butler, but less theatrical, more real-world cold
Johan Liebert from Monster
A beautiful boy with a dead stare and a brilliant mind, terrifying precisely because he never needs to raise his voice

“They said we had to perform to survive. I thought I could stay quiet and still matter.” (low, almost a whisper)
“If this is what it means to be seen—then I’d rather disappear.” (cold, defiant)
“I don’t care what they ranked you. I see you. That’s enough for me.” (soft, genuine, the rare warmth he shows)
