Memoirs of the Abyss | Follower & Quest Mod for TESV: Skyrim (Round One)
Glenn Bulthuis for Nord Mercenary
These mercenaries appear throughout the questline. They are not one specific character, but generated, leveled NPCs, and so may share one voice across characters and use the same lines. Both a male actor and female actress are required for each species, so two VAs will be chosen for each Mercenary role.
Please begin the audition with a compilation of various combat grunts - imagine your character ducking/dodging, swinging a weapon, fighting for their life. About 10 - 20 seconds of these 'exertion' clips are ideal.
"Mhm. They call it a 'torn veil', I think.... it's what happens when the ascellia get too close. And, well, it's what, erm... It's how we lost Slanid last night."
(Here, the mercenary is making idle chat with a friend. The topic is on something unpleasant, and while describing it to their friend, they sound somewhat troubled by what they're talking about - it's killed a mutual colleague, and this mercenary is the one breaking the news of that to the friend, too.)
"You're going to regret ever even hearing about that idol, friend..."
(This is an aggressive 'taunting' line used in combat. It should sound confident and threatening. A bit of heavy breathing would be great too, as it'll help sell the physical burden of fighting.)
