L4N-X (emergency recasting for LEAD CHARACTER)
Matthew Betley for Birder
The apathetic first mate. Mostly keeps to himself though he seems overly protective of B. His large stature more than makes up for his lack of speech when it comes to keeping the crew in line. Speaks very little, and when he does it is straight to the point. Uncaring on the outside, fiercely loyal on the inside. May actually be B's royal bodyguard.
Medium to low tenor or baritone voice preferred.
OK folks, settle down. Just going to take a few things, we’ll be out of your hands before the coalition goons even get here. Don’t make trouble and you don’t get hurt.
We don't actually have a "brig," as the captain puts it. Door doesn’t even lock. Just don't try to leave next time we dock and you should be fine. Welcome to the Nightmare Circuit.
(most of Birder's "lines" are various grunts and sighs rather than words. Give me your best sounds for the following: approving, exasperated, indifferent, amused.)
