BENEATH THE WOODS ARG / Multimedia Novel Project
RyanDeVaneVO for Polaris
One of the antagonists of the novel. An eldritch horror from another dimension who became a puppet of the gods who created them. They will stop at NOTHING to achieve their goals and complete the mission that their dear gods have given them. They firmly believe that fate cannot be changed, that every action will lead to a person's greater destiny, but a certain stubborn kid forces them to question that belief... and their world starts to crumble in the process.
PERSONALITY: Laid back and cool, very lonely, takes things a little bit too seriously but is also a trickster at times. Will not waiver on things related to their mission but will absolutely mess around with the cast if given the opportunity to do so. Manipulative and controlling at times, especially when the world is falling down around them. Is VERY protective and caring towards the people they love. Calls everybody "kid," "kiddo" or nicknames like "Stardust". Character inspired by Bill Cipher (Gravity Falls), Hunter (The Owl House) and Loop (In Stars and Time).
VOICE: Medium-pitched voice. Masculine voice. (They're non-binary but masc presenting!) Laid back, cool kid kind of vibe unless things go wrong :' ) They remind me of a protective big sibling who is always there for everyone (but will also mess with their family and friends if given the opportunity), but when things go wrong, they immediately jump to being stressed out and trying to protect everyone.
Has a slight rasp in their voice (which hints to how they came to be); if this is too much to add on, don't worry about including it! Also has a hint of exhaustion in their voice, like someone who hates their job but feels like they have to do it. I imagine that they sound like a chill college-aged kid. (For a bonus idea of how they sound, their headcanon voice is Delsin from Infamous: Second Son and Jax from The Amazing Digital Circus at the end of episode 6.)
Voice WILL have some effects on it! (I will need to hear what your voice sounds like without effects for a future aspect to the character, but the role will primarily have effects on it at first!)

[somber, wistful] I am… much older than this world. I’ve been around for a long time, honestly. Too long for me to count… [shifts to determined] I was given a task long ago. A mission by the beings that created me. That is all I exist to do. That is all I exist to BE.
[insulted, flabbergasted] EXCUSE ME? [laughs] You wanna run that by me again?
[quiet, warm and kind; saying this to trick someone] You’ve been hurt a lot, haven’t you? Is that why you’re so desperate to fix this?
