WilliamEnglishIII for Rane Voight (Cupcake Killer) Deranged Serial Killer
Real super nice guy, nobody would ever suspect, most see him as somewhat shy and not very sociable, but still a guy-next-door type.
Rane Voight, aka The Cupcake Killer, is a deranged sociopathic serial killer and rapist. He is the major arc villain of the first four volumes of the series. He is a devious yet strategic killer driven by vengeance with a person grudge against Ajay Wolfe and anyone close to Ajay. He gained his moniker as The Cupcake Killer due to leaving fresh cupcakes at the scene where he abducts his victims.
Notice: This is a mini but complete biography of Rane’s character arc that stretches across 4 complete novels. If you are cast for the part of Rane a producer will help you navigate which spot on the timeline is most relevant but this biography is intended to give the actor the big picture of the character.
As a teenager, Rane was one of the victim’s of the schoolyard gang The Hellpack led by Ajay Wolfe. Rane’s mother was sick and bedriiden at the time and one evening he was accosted by The Hellpack and was waylaid from getting home; once he got home he discovered his mother had died and he hadn’t been there to say his final goodbye. This changed Rane’s demeanor and psyche forever.
Later, in high school, he led a pack of boys in the brutal gang rape of Maggie Stewart.
Though Maggie was his first victim it was this heinous act that fueled Rane’s obsession with rape and violence and he would go on to formulate a plan of vengeance against Ajay Wolfe by seeking out anyone whom Ajay had ever cared for.
Rane would grow up to acquire a position as a computer systems analyst for Chase Industries. It is revealed in Volumes 5-7 that Rane was gathering sensitive data from the Chase Industries computer systems to sell to his estranged corporate mongul father Stoney Jameson in order to fly the coop from Cut And Shoot and go into hiding.
Like Jags Wolfe, Rane is an adept martial artist and a physical fit contender to any of the Wolfe brothers.
His best friend is the equally despicable Kip Vicor.
The voice actor cast for this role will also be responsible for the role of "JT".Catch Phrase: My sweeet.
Voice Notes:Cunning, clever and self-admiring. This guy is crazy but he’s got his shit together for the most part, a socioath with no empathy for life or others feelings.
*As a child/kid his mother often gifted Rane with copious amounts of sweets but cupcakes were the signature one. As a serial killer/rapist he frequently leaves a cupcake at the scene when abducting his victims.
*Rane killed Cameron and Ajay Wolfe’s mother and Jag’s grandmother prior to the events of Volume 1 but the cause of their deaths is still unknown to the main cast.
Place the word: Monster in the comments of your audition. This confirms that you have read the character's description. Failure to do so will result in an automatic dismissal.
After his mother died, Rane joined the football team and thought his days of being beat on were numbered but he was fat and clumsy and struggled to keep up with the other players. Then a fellow football player introduced him to steroids and the occasional bout of cocaine. For the first time in his life, Rane felt no fear, only rage.
“Meet me at Reds. We’re going huntin'.”
context: After a bad encounter with Ajay (one of the Wolfe brothers) he's itching for a fight and tells his sidekick Kip that they're gonna go after another prey at Red's, a bar outside of Cut And Shoot.)
"We'll do our thing then end it. But Emily . . . " [creepy sexual groan] "We're going to keep her around . . . for a loong time." [another groan, because he just felt himself get hard/turned on] "Got to be smart about this one . . . it's gonna be goood. Plan it out. Gotta make her last."
