The Kaard-Case Project [A Deltarune AU] - (Minor update as of 2/6/2020)
Guarsk for Gemini, The royal adviser
The Character
Gemini is, and has been for a rather long time, the royal adviser. Appointed by and working under the court of clubs, they are the only member of the Kaard Castle staff that has almost absolute control over each of the four courts, even having say over some actions of the princes. Though, he doesn't make much use of it, as he's often too much of a nervous wreck, spending all his time preparing for the worst possible scenario no matter how unlikely. They have an infallible sense for "the logical thing to do" on an unbiased note, and is even trained in battle tactics. Clubs doesn't much like him, thinking that he's incompetent and doesn't deserve his role- though, the other kings defend him and appreciate the advice he gives... when he manages to give it.
The Voice
Gemini's voice is in a medium to high register. He is well spoken (except for a light stutter that gets worse when he's nervous), and while it isn't mandatory a British accent is a welcome addition to any take. Remember that from time to time they stutter, and that their voice is a little shaky sense they are constantly nervous- the stuttering increases dramatically when they are worried or upset.
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.
"S-sire, I'm well aware that your upset over the situation, but you're hardly one to act irrationally! If you react too harshly for this, imagine what that will do to your influence!"
[Here, Gemini is addressing the King of Hearts, attempting to calm them in a moment where they've been pushed a little too far. Gemini get's VERY nervous when addressing any of the kings, so stutters are likely to be prominent here.]"My thoughts? I-I don't really have any input, Clubs, Sire, though I appreciate that you'd think to ask me... though I cannot answer without more information!"
[Here, Gemini has been addressed by the King of Clubs for a tactical opinion, though Gemini is highly intimidated by king of clubs and his nervousness stops him from being able to come up with an answer- speak as if you have been put on the spot without warning.]"A wonderful decision, sire. A little risky, as per the usual, but wonderful nonetheless."
[Gemini is a bit of a "yes man" when it comes to any suggestion made by the King of Diamonds, willing to jump on board almost any suggestion they make. Speak as if they had suggested something and you are eager to back them up.]
