Cirque DUB Freak | Cirque du Freak / The Saga of Darren Shan V2 (Manga Dub)
ArtymisFF for Hans Hands
Gender: Male Species: Human Age: Late 20s to Early 30s
Description: Hans Hands is a performer at the Cirque du Freak, famous for his unmatched speed and reflexes. His hands move so fast they’re nearly invisible, earning him his nickname. Fiercely competitive and confident, Hans constantly seeks to challenge himself and others, believing strength and skill are the truest measures of worth. Beneath his tough exterior, however, lies genuine respect and loyalty toward his fellow performers, especially those who’ve earned his trust. Hans spends much of his downtime alone, often seen with a cigarette in hand, quietly observing the world around him. Though blunt and intense in conversation, his moments of quiet reflection reveal a more thoughtful, even protective side.
Accent/Voice: Open to interpretation. Hans could have any accent or dialect, as the Cirque’s performers come from across the globe. His voice should sound slightly older and more grounded than the other younger members of the troupe, with a bit of grit or rasp from his smoking habit. Think a slightly older-sounding Bakugo from My Hero Academia - brash, sharp, and full of drive, but capable of a low, steady calm when he’s serious. His tone is fast, assertive, and full of energy during heated moments, yet carries surprising warmth when his guard drops.

Hans: "The Darren Shan!? You mean you're that famous half-vampire!?" Darren: "Are half-vampires really that unusual?" Hans: (Ba ha ha ha!) "Nah, half-vampires are nothing new! But young half-vampires are a different story. Have the vampire generals been around to inspect you yet?"
