Westside Story - A New Vegas Noir (Round 1)
Richard Gibson for Auspex Opitz
As the high priest and acting instructor of a post-apocalyptic cult centered around theater, Opitz has a pronounced melodramatic streak, often breaking into spontaneous soliloquies and using extremely stilted and verbose language even for everyday conversations. This habit of his - as well as his infamous temper - is only further compounded by the fact that he is being drugged and brainwashed as part of a sinister plot to depose the cult's leader.
Any American accent would be fine, but if you'd like to try your hand at a pseudo-Shakespearean British pronunciation, you're more than welcome to give it a go.
NOTE: this character uses a bunch of Greek and Latin terminology. Text-based directions for the intended pronunciations will be provided.
Importance: side character.
Line Count: ~110.

{Wild-eyed}And what's this? Another bedraggled stray seeking wisdom in these holy halls? No. I can tell you’re cut from a different cloth than these indolent mollycoddles.
(Reminiscing about his now-lost, forbidden love) He was... my muse. Vivacious, bright-natured Peter. A Satyr. My {Ahm-pellows}Ampelos, my {ah-mah-Tor}amator. Dead, dead ere his prime!
(About to go stab someone with a prop sword) Yes! The anvil of justice is planted firm, and I shall smite the fiend on it! Huzzah!
