Cirque DUB Freak | Cirque du Freak / The Saga of Darren Shan V2 (Manga Dub)
Zillah for R.V., aka "Reggie Veggie"
Gender: Male Species: Human Age: Late 20's to early-30s
Description: R.V. is a friend of Sam’s who first appears as an eco-warrior traveling the country with his group, Nature’s Opposing Protectors (NOP). He befriends Sam, Darren, and Evra when his troupe is near where the Cirque du Freak is performing. A passionate vegetarian and strong advocate for animal rights, R.V. is principled, expressive, and quick to react to cruelty or injustice. He is clever and charismatic, but his idealism and strong moral convictions can lead him to act impulsively when confronted with wrongdoing.
Accent/Voice:
Open to interpretation. R.V.’s voice should be warm, expressive, and principled, conveying both his earnestness and his occasional intensity. Think Hagrid from Harry Potter, but with a slightly off-kilter edge - there’s a hint of unpredictability or intensity simmering beneath the surface. He can express moral outrage, humor, or sincerity as the scene demands, but in moments of stress or confrontation, his voice can become slightly unhinged or erratic, reflecting his passionate and idealistic nature. Accent is open to interpretation but should remain within the spectrum of British accents, keeping him compatible with Sam Grest while highlighting his age, experience, and subtly unstable personality.

[Context:] R.V. (Reggie Veggie) meets Darren for the first time. In his playful, energetic manner, he lifts Darren off the ground by his legs while introducing himself, showing both his strength and exuberant, slightly over-the-top personality. "GOTCHA!! You must be Darren, then! I'm Sam's friend! Name's Reggie Veggie. But you can call me R.V."
[Context:] R.V. enthusiastically explains that he lives by his principles as an eco-warrior, then quickly shows concern for the Cirque performers, asking if they’re being mistreated, highlighting his protective, idealistic, and slightly intense personality. R.V.: "Ha-ha! Heck, all I'm doing is living by my beliefs, man. You guys are here with the circus, right?" Evra: "Yeah, that's right. The freak show." R.V.: "They don't mistreat you, do they? They don't whip you or underfeed you or anything like that?"
[Context:] This scene takes place inside the Cirque at night, when R.V. attempts to free the chained Wolf Man. Darren tries to stop him, but R.V., driven by his righteous convictions, insists on doing what he believes is right. In the process, the Wolf Man bites his hands. R.V. reacts with shock, panic, and confusion. He doesn’t fully understand what’s happened to his hands yet. Darren: "Stop, R.V.!! The Wolf Man isn't like other animals! Get away from him!" R.V.: "No! You won't stop me! You won't prevent me from doing my duty!! I'm going to free every chained animal in the world!! My hands exist to do the work of good!! I'll cut his chains with these hands, and... and... these... hands? Hands!?"
