Rufus Melrose

Unpaid

Rufus (he/him) is 33, and he is the owner of a safe space cafe in North Acres. He is kind above all else, and a genuinely good person. He has a personal code of pacifism, which he tries his best to uphold throughout the show while also struggling with feelings of inadequacy. He tries to be a father figure and role model for any children in need, especially those who are queer in some way, or those who come from unfit homes.

⁣

Though he doesn't appear until season two, he is under the same bracket as Minerva–because I can tell I'm going to be picky with his voice, I'm opening him early.

⁣

NOTE: He tends to stutter when he gets stressed. If you'd like to implement this into the more emotional lines, go ahead!

Voice description:
  • male adult
  • male young adult
The sides they read from:
  • (Welcoming) "Come on in! Welcome to Cafe Melrose! My name is Rufus, the owner--take your time to look at the menu, and let me know if I can get you anything! SInce it's your first time here, you can have any drink of your choice on the house."

  • (Solemn) "I don't belong here anymore, Minerva. I can't fight. And even if I could, I wouldn't want to. Besides, I... I really don't think he'd want to see me again, after... what happened."

  • (Completely desperate, trying and struggling to keep calm) "You can't die. What about the Guard? What about all of the people who need you? N-No matter what you think about yourself, or what you've done, you-- you're all we have left. You're all I have left."
