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...?

Alaric Thurn | Fixated
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!

[We have the best luck, don't we??

Anyway, Alaric follows Linhardt when he moves to try the other door, and after watching that attempt, he nods.]

Yeah, I should be able to get this one open. Stand back.

[Alaric's built more like the speedy swordsmaster type, so while he's not very physically bulky, he definitely does have some strength to put to good use. And in this case "good use" is brute forcing that door open and pushing that poor corpse out of the way. There's probably a smear of blood on the floor as he gets it open, sorry, Linhardt...

And what's within is even more of an "I'm sorry, Linhardt". There's a trail of blood leading over to this door (before Alaric brute forced it open which has definitely contaminated the crime scene, whoops) as well as the aforementioned body. The poor guy looks like he was done in by a lot of injuries - most seemingly made with a blade of some sort.

Of course, all of that is a bit secondary to the fact that there's a dead guy in here and Alaric winces.]

Yikes.

[Thanks, Alaric.]

[ At the very least standing back is easy so he does that as Alaric goes at it! Once he brute forces the door open and pushes the corpse out of the way, there is...a smear of blood, oh. ]

What—

[ Linhardt's gaze flickers on past that smear of blood after feeling a brief nasty shock to—all of that. ]

...oh no.

[ He's suddenly very, very awake and hates everything right now because of all the blood. Why is there a trail of blood (definitely a bit messy by now)?? Why is there also a bloody dead body right then and there?

He makes a movement to immediately back up even further. Like a lot. He might be practically a dot in the distance by now (okay not really but he's getting there...)

It'd be one thing if he had his healing magic, but he's never been good with this sort of thing. ]
