The OC Creator for Hextor, The Royal Conductor
The Character
This is Hextor, the royal conductor! Part of the court of clubs, they are known well for their ability to compose and conduct music: They were drafted into their position by the king of Clubs per Banter's request. They often get stuck following Banter around sense Banter almost always has the royal orchestra in tow, though he takes himself very seriously- He's gone days without sleep in order to keep working and strives to be the most efficient in his craft. He's known for taking himself a little *too* seriously from time to time, going as far as to throw down duel challenges to anyone who so much as jokes about his reputation in a way he finds insulting. Additionally, despite not actually being French (as they are a darkener and have no way to be French logically), they bear a decently strong French accent... nobody knows quite why this is.
The Voice
As was noted in the character details, Hextor has a strong French accent. Now, you can go one of two ways with this: You can either go for a convincing accent, or you can go for an accent that is intentionally fake sounding- either works. It's also important to keep in mind that he's somewhat monotone in speaking, and his voice is in a low register- though, when he gets mad he really gets MAD.
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.
"At ease! We have been instructed to construct fanfare for the arrival of an important guest! In other words... we are free from following Banter today."
[This is simply Hextor addressing his orchestra as a whole- speak as if making an announcement to a group.]"Hectorgon! Front and center! Where were you on your cue for the xylophone? It is beyond important that our entire orchestra performs at it's best- I cannot have you slacking off!"
[Here, Hextor is speaking to his son, Hectorgon, in a demeaning tone: His reputation means a lot to him, though his son doesn't come in on his cues. Address this like it's a problem you've brought up a hundred times before already.]"You pork-bellied buffoon! You're as stupid as a suitcase without a handle if you think i'm going to take such a comment about my work lightly! If you intend to back your words, duel me here and now- Otherwise, bite your tongue and say no more!"
[Imagine this- Hextor is VERY proud of his position, so much so that a comment about his work that isn't meant to be constructive can upset him greatly. Try and show that you're not taking anyone's nonsense]
