ROLE

Leo

VOICE TYPE

Young Adult Male

TONE

Sarcastic but grounded and natural. He's the character with the most emotional backstory, using jokes and humor to cope with his tragic upbringing. He is deeply scarred and can find himself getting angry because he's always in self-defense mode. He expresses the widest range of emotions and easily has the most trauma of the main cast. Parts of him are cartoony, but he is definitely more grounded to reality due to his backstory.

RELEVANCE

Main Character

BIO

Leo is a troubled individual, but he will find any opportunity he can to cheer himself up, usually at the expense of others. He closes himself off and pushes people away, but it's because of the self-hatred and loss he has previously experienced that made him the way he is. Despite that, he's not edgy or trying to be a main character; he's just a troubled guy dealing with a turbulent past. He ultimately does make an effort to protect the others as well, so he does care for them even though he pretends not to.

VOICES TO MAYBE TAKE INSPIRATION FROM

Alex Brightman, Todd Haberkorn, Johnny Yong Bosch, William Salyers, or Bo Burnham. Still feel comfortable to interpret each character however you'd like.
