Reckless Truth: Contemporary Fantasy Audiobook/Drama
Crud Dude for Erik Redwind
Age: 24
Gender: Nonbinary/Genderqueer
Nationality: Scottish
Ethnicity: Middle-eastern, Sephardic Jewish and Scottish
Recurring: Yes
Role Type: Major
At first impresions, Erik is the strong, stoic type. His PTSD from being a supersoldier -- and a commander, at that -- can lead him to be confrontational and overprotective, even controlling at times, but at his core he is a gentle soul and the most observant, caring friend you could have. He is flirtatious, playful and smooth-talking, extremely comfortable in his sexuality and charisma.
Erik has Mutism and is Profoundly Deaf, so the majority of his dialogue is through written word, sign language or telepathy -- but all will be voiced for the purpose of this audiobook. I will be adding notes to the script to specify when Erik is speaking through sign, telepathy or writing. Feel free to disregard these or give them your own creative spin, it's open to interpretation.
(Though Erik uses masculine pronouns and terms in this book, he is genderqueer and this will be explored in later entries. Genderqueer or otherwise trans/nonbinary VAs preferred, especially if you have a low or androgynous voice)

[[telepathic]] [understanding, knowing, grim] "You can always stop. Start over. There's more to you than fighting and drinking and maybe you need to step back to see that."
[[written]] [guarded but concerned] "I had to hold a group of fucked-up kids together when I was just a fucked-up kid myself. Iโve seen all kinds of meltdowns and sometimes aye: Iโve caused them. I want to know what to look out for and I want to know how to avoid it."
[[signed]] [upset, tearful, hurt] "You waltz in here like you never left trying to be our brother again but where were you when we needed you most?โ
