Templorus

Core Identity

Templorus is a Golurk (Ground/Ghost) who serves as an assistant and greeter in Prime Minister Gripper’s office. He is extremely polite, formal, and almost excessively helpful. Even in battle he maintains a sportsmanlike, earnest demeanour. Despite his size and power, he comes across as dutiful, slightly naive, and ultimately disposable to those above him.

Personality Summary

Templorus is defined by rigid politeness and sincerity:

• Extremely Formal & Polite: He speaks in complete, proper sentences and treats every interaction with exaggerated courtesy.

• Eager to Please: He is quick to recognise important figures (especially Kerial) and goes out of his way to be helpful.

• Sportsmanlike even in combat: During his fight with Typhoon he compliments her and treats the battle with genuine respect rather than malice.

• Slightly Robotic Cheerfulness: His optimism and formality feel programmed or heavily conditioned — cheerful on the surface, but with little personal agency.

• Tragic Undercurrent: He is ultimately discarded and killed by Gripper the moment he fails, revealing how little he truly mattered to the system he served.

Vocal Profile & Performance Notes

• Base voice: Clear, formal, and projected. Mid-to-low register with a slightly mechanical or resonant quality appropriate for a Golurk.

• Default mode: Polite, earnest, and slightly overly cheerful. Every line should sound like it belongs in a formal greeting or official script.

• Excited recognition mode: Still polite, but with added enthusiasm and volume when meeting someone important.

• Battle mode: Retains the same formal courtesy even while fighting — respectful, determined, and never crude.

• Key trait: Templorus should never sound casual. Even pain or defeat should be filtered through that same polite, structured delivery until he is no longer able to speak.

Relationships That Shape His Voice

• Gripper: Complete subordinate. He speaks to and about his superior with unwavering formality and loyalty.

• Visitors (Kerial, Jem, etc.): Overly courteous and eager to assist.

• Opponents: Respectful and sportsmanlike; he treats battle as an honourable contest rather than a personal conflict.
