VOICETESTING
You know how it goes, sometimes you've just gotta make a post for voicetesting. So here we are!! I have never actually played OCs in DWRP and so now I'm weirdly nervous about it so I could use some assistance in ironing some things out! I made this OC with Sable (who plays Blanche) and I'm looking to get a feel for him while I work out some details about his history/etc! Because I'm a simple person, you get murdergame prompts. I'm open to other sorts of prompts or generic jamjars/etc if you'd prefer to do that too! This is just what I could come up with off the top of my head, lmao.
ALARIC THURN
Personal knight of Queen Blanche of the Kingdom of Lamarre, and one half of the duo responsible for a bloody coup that recently put the Queen on the throne. While Alaric looks the part of a royal knight and has the skills to back it up, he's more like a wild dog barely being held back by the leash that is Queen Blanche's morality. He cares about exactly two people besides himself and otherwise would let the world burn if it meant their safety. He really, really, really hates nobles and was all too glad to kill Blanche's siblings!! Cares more about his clothes and his appearance than almost anything else. Well, maybe except for fighting. Remarkably laidback almost all the time, but is he really just that "no thoughts, head empty" or is there more to him...?
Occupation: Queen Blanche's personal knight
Age: 26 | Height: 6'1" | Weight: (idk i'm so bad at this section he's not super buff??)
Likes: Queen Blanche, his mom, fighting, fashion, power, money
Dislikes: Nobles, those who misuse their power, ruining his clothes, boredom
Trivia: On average, Alaric ruins three outfits a week!
Prompts will be posted below! Feel free to respond to whichever one(s) interest you or hit me up on plurk to figure out something else! I'm definitely fine with wildcards or just throwing something random out there, so it doesn't have to be murdergame based!
you can do it!!
Comes with the job. You get a lot of people going after the Queen, and sometimes I've gotta sacrifice my clothes while stopping 'em.
[...I totally forgot to list the occupation, which I will edit now, but! "Occupation: Queen Blanche's personal knight" should give some insight into that!]
i did it!!
[All the knights and guards they've ever met have worn some sort of armor... Isn't armor a standard thing... They're squinting at his occupation and trying to figure it out.
(Their occupation would be listed as "Former nanny", so. Alaric's job definitely sounds more glamorous and exciting.)]
Or I suppose the better question might be why do people hate yer queen so much...
congrats!!
[Says the man wearing an oversized cape?? But it probably is still lighter than armor.]
Besides, the element of surprise has come in handy more than a few times.
[Dress like a nobleman, then reveal you're actually the soldier, that sort of thing.]
As for that? Eh, she made a lot of enemies when she took the throne. Typical noble bullshit.
[Alaric waves a hand at that, as if that explains everything.]
no subject
Well, I guess if it ain’t gettin’ ya killed it’s fine… Maybe ya should learn how to wash blood outta yer clothin’, at least.
[It’s not impossible to achieve with some fabrics, at least, even if some will still be a lost cause… They’re just trying to help.
Still, they’re nodding in agreement even though, again. That explains nothing.]
I s’pose a lotta noble folk don’t take too kindly to changes in power.
[They almost say “hopefully she’ll be fine while you’re here” but manage to bite their tongue.]
no subject
Nope. Never have, never will.
[Another dismissive wave of his hand.]
But that's enough about me and that nonsense. You're... [a brief glance to the profiles to make sure he's got the correct name] Hyacinth, right?
no subject
BUT ALSO, SIR... Sir... isn't it more cost-efficient to just repair or wash your clothes...!!]
Yeah, that'd be me. In the flesh, or so I'm assumin' at least. I don't reckon this is some massive dream or somethin' like that.
no subject
Probably not. Seems real enough, anyway.
So this information, [he inclines his head, presumably to indicate Hyacinth's profile] this accurate? Seems kinda nosey to have this listed about all of us.
no subject
Have ya tried pinchin' or hurtin' yerself?
[They're reaching out, but it's not very threatening considering they're grinning and also look like they couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag. But they'll do it. They'll pinch him.]
It's pretty right about me, but I don't know about this whole... trivia section. [...] It's pretty fuckin' creepy is what it is, as if this weren't strange enough already.
no subject
He waves a hand at that, not inviting the pinch, but not really doing much to stop them from trying it either.]
My best guess is that it's trying to scare us. "Look at how much we already know about you", that sorta thing.
no subject
They're also pinching him, as hard as they possibly can.]
I reckon it is somethin' that'd spook folks who ain't use to their lives bein' so public, but it seems a bit strange to play this card so quickly. Seems the kinda information you'd wanna reveal havin' later on, when you want people to realize how much power you have.
