VIPER: Halo 5 Machinima
Falmenara for Thiago Collado, The Viper
PLEASE NOTE: This character is bilingual, and will have several lines in Spanish in addition to their standard lines. High preference will be given to VA's who can demonstrate a Spanish fluency or competency.
BIO:
Thiago is a former ore miner. He lost his wife and daughter during the Covenant attack in 2547 but was off-world on work during the invasion. He returned to Iota post-invasion and began working as a smuggler-for-hire, fulfilling contracts for both human and alien vendors. He despises the UNSC and blames them for the loss of his family. He continues his life on Iota where he can be free of UNSC entanglement but still close to his family's final resting place.
Thiago often speaks to his late-wife in prayer, a break from his usual cynical and sarcastic mood. He reflects on his actions and plans, often asking her to forgive him.
PERSONALITY:
Thiago is highly sarcastic, cocky and arrogant. Very much so an anti-hero, he does bad things for bad people for simple monetary exchange. His ability and status has only strengthened his sense of pride over time. Thiago however immerses himself in the Viper persona to escape the reality of how much he misses his family. The charade can only persist so long before he must speak to his late-wife in prayer and apologize for how she must see him.
VOICE:
Thiago is healthy man in his early 30's and his voice quality should reflect a natural maturity of the age range. His speaking tone is heavily influenced by his often overly casual and confident attitude, both elements of the Viper persona. He often breaks tense conversation with jokes or even asides.
NOTE: Thiago is a natural-born Spanish speaker, so a quality or natural Spanish accent is highly preferred for this role.
(Boasting/ Narrating) You see, on Iota they got a name for me. La Vibora. The fastest, most handsome, most talented smuggler for the next 5 solar systems. And honey that was before I got the cool new gear.
(Sarcastic/Mocking) C'mon guys! Are you even trying? I mean that guy doesn't even have a gun in his hand! At least give me a challenge!
(Serious/Decisive) That split jaw set me up, Cero. I'm coming back with his head and I'm gonna hang up right above my bed!
Enjoyed the take on the character, very subtly humorous
