ARTYFICIAL
TwentyThirdACE for Fyodor Levitsky / Solnyshko
Fyodor Levitsky was a true iconoclast in the fashion world, defying the norms of his time and creating a style uniquely his own. Born in Moscow in 1847, his early life is not well known. What is known is that at a young age he moved to Moscow by himself after he showed an early aptitude for art and design, and soon enrolled himself at the prestigious God of Art's school in the city. It's unknown how he was able to finance this move.
However, Fyodor's success was never without controversy. He soon became infamous for his nationalist views, which often put him at odds with the more liberal-minded students of the God of Art's school. He was also rumoured to have used manipulation through illicit substances and other unsavoury methods to advance his career, although these allegations were never substantiated due to his circle's fear of ruining their own reputation.
VOICE NOTES:
REFERENCE/INSPIRATION VOICE: smoker on the balcony (with specified accent)
-High pitched male voice with feminine mannerisms, may accept a female VA with a deep voice that can pass as a male's.
-Smooth and calming voice, speaks at a measured tone even when panicked. Can be breathy
-Nigerian English accent, HOWEVER, a light american-russian accent will also do. Nigerian English is heavily preferred.
-Very well spoken and polite
-Always sounding happy, like the lines are being said with a smile. Rather monotonous in that regard.
-Slower speech
Fyodor also appears as a voice to Artyom, representing his inner monologue - a character referred to as 'Solnyshko'
Solnyshko is a manifestation of Tyoma's subconscious, having initially appeared as a mere whisper of doubt in his ear. However, as Tyoma continues to project his thoughts and emotions onto the image of Fyodor, Solnyshko began to take on a more concrete form.
As a manifestation of Tyoma's subconscious, Solnyshko represents his innermost desires, fears, and doubts, and may serve as a guide or a source of comfort in times of need. Despite his radiant appearance, Solnyshko's presence can also be unsettling and unnerving, as he represents the darker aspects of Tyoma's psyche. He is a constant reminder of Tyoma's failures and regrets, and can sometimes exacerbate his anxiety and self-doubt. In spite, of this Tyoma seems to only see the value of Solnyshko's presence.
VOICE NOTES:
-Exactly the same as Fyodor's voice, but with a higher pitched voice - a sort of 'ethereal' sound.
-More eery or malicious, but in a concealed manner.
- english
- male adult
- nigerian
(as Fyodor, gentle, loving) Morning, Любимый. How did you sleep? I received a letter from my sister. It's on the table.
(as Fyodor, panicked, shouting) Tyoma, stop! Don't answer it!
(as Solnyshko) He died. They all died. And you couldn't stop any of it.
