The Ranger Project: Red Requiem
Tim Rodriques for Nathan Hoang
(Former college golden boy; now a washed-out vendor with a past he can’t outrun)
Age (In-Game):
38
Age Range (Vocal):
Mid to late 30s(Voice should reflect someone who once thought he ruled the world, and now lives in its gutters.)
Tone & Delivery Style:
Sarcastic, entitled, and frequently condescending
Talks like a man who’s used to getting away with everything — and can’t believe life caught up to him
A smug, overconfident cadence that cracks when pushed, showing hints of panic or shame beneath Voice should drip with passive aggression, especially in tense scenes
Often sounds like he’s still stuck in his college glory days — desperately holding on to an identity that’s long dead
Personality in Voice:
Think of a bully who peaked at 21, now hollow inside
Arrogant and mocking to those below him, flatteringly fake to those above
Will default to smirking cruelty or childish teasing when confronted
Emotionally immature, and when confronted with guilt or fear, voice becomes defensive or bitter
Emotional Range:
The VA should be able to shift between:
Cocky confidence
Passive-aggressive mockery
Smarmy manipulation
Faint vulnerability or breakdown
Cowardice when cornered
Character Summary for Voice Interpretation:
Nathan Hoang represents everything that rots beneath unchecked privilege. Once a golden boy with a rich family and a bright future, he lost everything because of his ego — and because he was never held accountable. His bullying of Jina Kim wasn’t just mindless — it was targeted, cruel, and often physical. But now, with no legacy left, he hides behind jokes and sarcasm to avoid looking in the mirror.He’s the ghost of wasted potential, and his voice should remind you of the kind of person who laughed while holding someone else underwater — and never thought they’d drown, too.

"What, you thought you were the only one who got beat up in college? You just cried louder than the rest of us." (Tone: dismissive, mocking — trying to rewrite the past to his advantage.)
"Look, whatever happened back then, we were just kids. You gotta let that crap go." (Tone: defensive, fake empathy — trying to brush off guilt with feigned maturity.)
"I used to have everything. Grades, girls, future... Now? I flip burgers in a city that forgot me." (Tone: bitter, with a crack of pain behind the arrogance.)
