The Arcana [Audiobook Adaptation]
HecticVexor for Asra
Described as a wandering magician with a wealth of secrets, Asra is first introduced in-game as your teacher in magic, and is one of the three current available love interests.
He is often enigmatic and acts ambiguously, especially when pressed about the past. However he confesses to hate keeping secrets from The Apprentice, and refrains from telling them complete truths only to keep them safe. He is very devoted to and protective towards the apprentice, admitting that he journeys partly to escape his overwhelming feelings for them, as he cannot tell them how he feels.
At times Asra is difficult to predict, but he can always be depended on to arrive whenever you need him. He is free-spirited and sociable though ultimately private, preferring to spend his time alone or with you. He also enjoys teasing others with a mischievous humour, delighting in making them fluster. However when the favour is returned, or upon receiving genuine affection, he appears comically uncertain of how to respond. Carefree and content to live in the moment, Asra appears to dislike worrying for the future, and will remind The Apprentice to do the same.
Voice requirements: Asra can be voiced by a male or female, given that he is canonically non-binary but prefers HE/HIM pronouns. His voice is said to be airy and intimate, and that's how I imagine it as well.
(Reminicent, gentle.) You and I know who my heart belongs with, there's someone else on my mind. Their name keeps falling from my lips like a spell... and every day spent away from them makes the longing worse. To not hear their voice calling my name... You miss them too, don't you?
*With a low, slightly mischievous voice.* Can't you tell? Just a magic trick.~
Something from one of those ridiculous tomes.~ If you'd like to help, I'm sure I could find a use for you.
Blood, bone, sweat and tears. All sorts of things make powerful catalysts for these spells. I wonder, how much are you willing to give up?~
Hmmm... They must feel like they can tell you anything. I imagine they must feel very comfortable around you.
Maybe you make them feel like they're home, there's something about you that calls to them. Maybe they find they can't take their eyes off of you... or maybe they don't know why. There's a lot to like... How could they choose just one reason?
