The Kaard-Case Project [A Deltarune AU] - (Minor update as of 2/6/2020)
Revtrosity for The King of Hearts (Omhoudhosusaban)
The character
The King of Hearts- An ever ominous individual who, despite his care and attention for his kingly duties, is the kingdoms least favorite king. Having been shown to have ghost like powers, their tenancy to make ominous remarks or appear/disappear at random unsettles most. His actual name is "Omhoudhosusaban", but few can actually pronounce it- thus, everyone simply refers to him as "Hearts" (Or "King of Hearts" to refer to him formally). Out of the kings, he is the one who handles the work that the other kings neglect. Without getting into the full message, he's essentially the one doing all the paperwork (Making treaties, passing important rulings, etc.). He enjoys being mysterious and maintaining a levelheaded tone. It is noteworthy that he enjoys his mysterious nature to such a degree that he doesn't even have an outside handle on the door to his room, instead passing through it when he needs to get in. He is also the main king that handles tutoring the four princes, as the other kings are often busy elsewhere.
On top of it all, he is rarely seen in his actual form. If being ghostly wasn't enough, he's also somewhat spider like in where he has four eyes and four arms, though he almost always hides his eyes and second set of arms because they upset the princes. His weapon is a summon-able scythe with an absurdly long blade.
The voice
Hearts's voice is meant to be smooth and somewhat low, even somewhat soothing to listen to. He's softly spoken, but he articulates his words very sharply. Ominous chuckles at the end of a sentence get you bonus points- Also, it is worthwhile to note that a VA has to be capable of pulling a complete 180, going from soft and withdrawn to coarse and aggressive for the moments when he loses his cool.
Format reminder
Quotation marks (") mark the dialogue, and brackets [ ] mark direction. Even if the brackets show up in the middle of a line, don't read that part- just use it as a note for how to deliver the line.
"Oh, you simple fools... there's four kings here and yet not one of us can come to a decision? At this pace, we may as well lend our thrones to our respective princes early. Obviously we simply cannot handle the concept of keeping a clear head... I'm looking at you, Clubs."
[This is something that Hearts does a lot during meetings, using the threat of instating the next generation of rulers early in order to get the other kings to focus. If you can manage it, try and be a liiiiiittle bit sarcastic with this line]"Oh, you don't want to know the answer to that. Trust me, I didn't either."
[This is one of the intentionally ominous or unsettling comments Hearts makes, so try and deliver it as if you were trying to spook someone a little bit][Maniacle laughter]
"Oh, poor, poor you! You can swing your blade about and threaten this kingdom as much as you want... but when you harm it's people you have taken things a step too far. Complain if you want! This is Karma for your misdeeds!"
[This is an instance of that 180 I referenced in the voice description- This is something that Hearts says (may not stay) during his first battle with the Knight, so his anger needs to be apparent]
Overboard? My friend, this is perfection- The energy in your voice is great here! Going from that "casual conversation" tone to the completely maniacal manor that you've pulled off is very impressive. Thanks for the audition!
After listening to it a few times over, we've decided to cast you early. Simply said, your take is perfect- You nailed the initial lax tone, and the requested ominous chuckle came out wonderfully. Not to mention, of course, the full turn into the more crazed voice was fantastic- Welcome aboard, Rev! Thanks a million for your awesome audition. Whenever you have the chance, please join the discord! Let me know if you need a link-
