Cotra is a forty-seven year old seasoned MMA cage fighter whose body shows the cost of a long, punishing life. Years of heavy drinking, poor diet, and nonstop combat have left him physically worn, particularly his lungs, which are damaged from living in a highly polluted industrial nation.

Despite this, he is well spoken and formal in his manner of speech, choosing his words carefully and carrying himself with quiet authority. He is not sloppy or crude — his refinement comes from experience, discipline, and a hard-earned worldview rather than comfort or privilege.

Tone - Rough, gravelly, tired and controlled.

Cadence - Slow, deliberate, unhurried

Quality - Weathered and dry, subtle breathiness

Range: mid to low

Reference for speaking patterns and presence would be similar in spirit to Kishibe's Dub voice in Chainsaw Man, or Venom snake in Metal Gear Solid V

(Note: This is a reference for tone and attitude, not an impression.)

The voice should sound like someone who has lived in polluted air for decades and learned to conserve breath and emotion.
Short breaths or slight rasp are welcome — but it should never become theatrical or exaggerated.
Note for personality: Calm under pressureWorld-weary but sharpSpeaks with restraint, not aggressionRarely raises his voice — intensity comes from stillness, not volumeCarries a sense of resignation mixed with dry, understated humor
Auditions should avoid: Overacting the rasp or “tough guy” voice, Cartoonish drunkenness and Shouting or exaggerated grit. We are looking for controlled fatigue, not vocal damage.
