Archimedes (Archie) is an eldritch spirit from another dimension but, unlike Polaris, is a sweet, childlike and gentle soul who only wants to make a friend. But, if they are hurt or reminded of their past traumas, they can break down into violent fits of despair and anguish.

In certain scenes, they have a lot of gentle and childish energy, going back and forth between being sweet and quiet and explosively struggling with their agony. They also struggle to speak, primarily talking in fragmented, strained sentences, almost as if some part of their form doesn't want them to speak. But, in other scenes, when they're allowed to speak fully, they're a deeply hurt kid who is incredibly vulnerable and open about their experiences and feelings, all while still sounding youthful and innocent. In all aspects of their character, they're always warm, kind, compassionate, and gentle.

VOICE: Medium to medium-high pitched voice. Sounds younger than they actually are, so I imagine they'd have a pre-teen or teenager voice. Voice is sweet, childlike and gentle. Most dialogue will have strained and fragmented speech and some dialogue will have Archie in fits of anguish. Can sound very anxious in some dialogue and bratty at other times. 

Archimedes is a non-binary character and I want them to either sound more gender neutral OR slightly more masculine leaning. I'm not picky on this, though, so feel free to go whatever route you'd like to go! 

REFERENCES: The main reference for this character's voice is The Collector from The Owl House. While it's not 100% exactly like what I have in mind, they match the same naive, childlike attitude and curiosity that Archimedes has. Other references include Oliver (as a teen) from Invincible and Hunter from The Owl House.

• Hunter (TOH) 
• Oliver (Invincible) (potential S4 spoilers!) 

Archimedes will currently appear in one voice recording for the ARG I'm creating. They are a major character in the story, so they will absolutely be appearing more than that and I will keep you updated! Their voice will also have effects added to it during the editing process, but please do not add effects to your auditions! I need to hear your idea of the voice on its own.
