"Trial" animation project (Senior Project)
Cody Pendleton for Reev (Reevus)
Reev | male | demon
Overview:
Reev is a lust/desire demon that resides and works in purgatory, as he has since the first millennia. Even though he is a lust demon, he actually just does paperwork in purgatory (only 9-eternity office antics here)! He is fired from his job (the one he was create for) because he misfiled a sinner's paperwork, allowing a criminal to pass on to paradise. He is assigned a new job in purgatory, and not one that is very popular mind you. He is tasked with being a Trial Guide. Reject-demons become Trial Guides because by the end of the Trial, they are sent to the Badlands of Purgatory: never to be seen again. Reev becomes Kara's Trial Guide and the two gradually become friends.
Personality:
Reev is logical, and law-abiding (the laws of purgatory at least). When he is not doing a specific job, or fulfilling a purpose he gets quite anxious. He comes to the realization that if he can't continue doing paperwork, he might as well be the best Trial Guide there is! Hint: He isn't that good at being a guide.
He is awkward, and considerably cowardly, but he does prove his loyalty to his friends.
Voice:
I picture him with an young adult kind of voice (even though he's thousands of years old, he looks about peak human age). He is a nervous, awkward guy, and very strange for a demon, ESPECIALLY for a lust demon. he's pretty uncomfortable with himself, and is very sheltered (has never left purgatory) so keep that in mind when coming up with a voice. I sort of think of his voice being like an american Wheatly (from Portal 2) if that makes sense, but I'd love to hear other interpretations!
You have creative liberties coming up with a voice you feel fits, and I can always suggest something after I've heard your audition!
(pacing back and fourth, nervous, frustrated) Well, I would know if I had your file, but as you can see I don't. Does it really matter though? let's just get this over with, okay?
(trying to be convincing) I-I'm scary. See, watch. . . . (thinks about how to show her for a second then gives up) Oh, never mind.
(excited, a little over-cheerful, committing fully to his job as a Trial Guide) Hello there! You must be Kara, I've heard so much about you- well not really, just your name, but that's gotta count for something, right? My name is Reevus, your personal guide through purgatory. Here we'll traverse the beautiful sulfuric plains, the uh- majestic... river of sin, and of course, the not-so-bad-Badlands! :D
(Kara rolls her eyes so he changes tone) Sorry, I'm new at this...
(yelling, very anxious) Kara help! It's. Gonna. Eat me!!
(different scene)
(trying so sound enthralling/like a lust demon should) heyyyyy... buddy... why don't you - uh - come over here and I'll... show youuu a good time... -Kara this isn't working!
