The Otherlands [CASTING WAVE THREE]
Matthew P for Rufus Melrose
Voice Actor
Rufus Melrose
open
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 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."
