~Rise From The Ashes ~: Artists and Supporting VAs (ADDITIONAL ARTISTS STILL OPEN - More roles TBA)
SpectraPHNTM for Fetch
Summary: Fetch is...well, let’s say you don’t wanna piss him off or get on his bad side. Real name Chase Fetcher, mid forties, mercenary and kidnapper for hire - pay the right price and he’ll get the job done. No messing and no pleasantries. He isn’t above murder, but he doesn’t particularly like getting his hands dirty too often (although he has worked in the organ trade before so...yeah…). He’s fast, swift, practical and smart, taking time to assess, observe and plan out the mission before going after the target. He knows every trick up a captive’s sleeve and he knows how to 'settle them down', be it a sharp punch to the gut, a cold glare or a chilling threat that quickly calms a rebellious hostage right down. Respect is important to him and sass will be rewarded by either a slap or an especially uncomfortable gag. If the captive plays nice though, then he can be...nice enough, with little privileges gained for good behaviour. He does things for his own gain and never ‘stuff for free’, so it’s very conditional on his side. That being said, he has a slight secret softer spot for younger captives and even he has opinions of where the line shouldn't really be crossed - even experimenting on teenagers goes past his morals. He travels around with his accomplice, Erick. He may treat the boy like an annoyance and his personal punching bag at times, but he does listen to his advice on the odd occasion and deep down does...care for the boy in his own twisted way. But in short, he'll do pretty much anything for the right price - including going after the escaped 'patients' from the institute...
Note: Whilst Fetch can make some pretty dark and violent threats, they will NOT be carried through on screen (off-screen if at all)
Appearance: Arc I (Ch 9 onwards), Arc II (occasional appearances~)
Personality: Cold, Snarky, Sarcastic, Serious, Focused, Sadistic, Impatient, Cruel, Conditional, Manipulative, Selfish, Easily Angered and pretty Callous
Voice: Gruff and snappy with a low pitch. He often raises his voice and frequently uses quite derogatory language towards his captives or Erick, if the kid gets on his last nerve. He should sound gleefully sadistic when threatening or really getting into his 'work' and be able to growl, yell and bark out orders that will be obeyed no matter what. At other times he can sound pretty casual and almost eerily calm sometimes too.
Disclaimer: Fetch belongs to the super brilliant Maxy, co-director of the project. As such, they will be deciding who the final role goes to, so good luck~ Placeholder artwork also belongs to the amazingly talented scarletfish8eta on Deviantart!
[Yelling] Erick! Get your ass here right now! [Somewhat impatient] Finally. Now...what did I say right before sending you to check on the hostages? [Darker]...Exactly. Give them some water. Don't interact with them. [Raising voice again] So why did I just hear you casually chatting with them? [Exasperated and furious, tugging at Erick’s ears painfully]...For the last goddamn time, what is the point in you having these things if you aren’t ever gonna use them for listening?! Maybe I should just do you a favour and cut them off.
[Annoyed, muttering] Jesus, this is exactly why I hate teenagers. Think they know everything, always talking back. Stupid lil...[Exaggerated sigh before raising voice] Listen up, brats! You’re lucky I’ve been ordered not to harm a hair on either of your pretty lil heads. But if you ever get bored enough to try a stunt like that again, then I’ll gladly find a way for us to pass the time. [Sinisterly yet casually] We’ll play my favourite game. All you need is a scalpel [slow emphasis to drag out the threat] or a nice sharp shiny knife. I call it ‘Where Does It Hurt Most'?
[Explaining] Look, Shortie, I don’t do things for free. That’s not how the world works. [Seriously, a little taunting] You want my help? Then you’ve gotta earn it by doing something for me - and then I might consider lending you a hand. [A bit dismissive] See, I don’t know much about these ‘supers’ or whatever you’re referred as nowadays. Those weird powers of yours may be freaky…[Slow and emphasis] but they are also very useful. [Reverting to casual tone] So, what do ya say, Kid? Wanna hear me out [Threatening] or would you prefer to be back in those ropes whilst I call that doc back?
[Sarcastically, mimicking the guard] Apologies, but I really don’t care. [Hushed and threatening, dark and sadistic] Now, unless you wanna find out exactly what it feels like to undergo a disembowelment without any form of anaesthesia, you’re gonna tell us the code to access the security system in the next five seconds, aren’t you?
[A little panicked, showing care and concern for Erick] Hey, look at me, kiddo! Are you hurt anywhere? Did they do anything to you? ...No? [Relieved sigh] ...Good. That’s good. Now…[Seriously and somewhat threatening] if you ever make me have to risk my ass like that to save yours again, I swear I’ll kill you. Got that? ...Good. Don’t forget it. Now come on. We gotta get the heck outta here. I’ll check you up once we’re away from this goddamn place.
Annd onto Fetch! Thank you so much for trying out for him, he needs some more love! Can I just say...I loved this a lot XD It really entertained me, made me wince in discomfort at some points and you really made him your own! Some of the enunciations that were improvised [especially the pauses for 'last damn time'] was beautiful and really made me squirm, which I'm sure would make Erick and the hostages squirm too. The yelling at appropriate parts was beautiful, the 'sharp shiny knife' line was so sadistic and ominous and those muttered and hushed parts were beautiful! Lots of emotion and a great range, I loved it a lot, you did a great job! ESPECIALLY that last line with the hushed 'I'll kill you' - it was really well done! I found it quite hard to believe you were the same person in your Dex audition so that is definitely some TALENT my dude! :D Just a few pointers for feedback - as much as we loved your audition, make sure to drink water so your throat doesn't suffer! Sometimes bits of your more natural voice could be heard creeping in, so that might help avoid that trap! You also sounded quite raspy at the start, when a nice barking yell is expected to be heard, but that's just a nitpick really. The last line beginning could do with being a bit more hushed and the 'look shortie' still sounded a bit 'shouty' for the scenario, so making sure you have the right tone and volume for different points is key. Just nitpick improvements though! I loved your audition and I'm sure Whiskey (aka: Maxy, his creator) will as well and shoot some feedback your way themselves if they get the chance. Huge well done and thanks again for auditioning! Take care for now Merc, hopefully the feedback helped! :D
Sorry for the late reply, but thank you so much for the kind words and critiques! My goal in mind while auditioning was to hopefully make the creators of Dex and Fetch smile with my voice, cause I personally love it when fellow VA's and VO's give me their take on my characters. But I had so much fun auditioning, even if I don't get the roles :)
No need to apologise at all! :D You're more than welcome for the feedback - and indeed they did make us smile, so consider your aim achieved buddy! :D There really is some tough competition I never thought we'd get so many auditions but it makes it harder for us to choose now hnnngh... XD But yes, thank you so much again and best of luck in other auditions you may do for now~ :D
